Several defendants agree to continuances or no‑contest pleas with short cure periods at Citrus County hearing

At the July 15 Citrus County code compliance hearing, multiple respondents either agreed to continuances, pled no contest, or reached a settlement with the county regarding time to cure alleged code violations.

Examples recorded at the hearing include: - Gil Lilienthal’s case (CE202500820) was continued to the August code compliance hearing at the parties’ agreement to allow more research. - Jordan Baker agreed to no contest pleas on two cases (CE202500701 and CE202500703) and was granted two weeks in each case to cure an overgrown grass violation and a junk/accumulation violation; a $50‑per‑day fine was set to begin after that period. - Kenneth W. Pressgrove entered no contest to two cases (CE202500784 and CE202500846) and agreed to 30 days to abate in each with a $100‑per‑day fine after that time.

Code officers authenticated evidence as required and the special master entered the agreed continuances and no‑contest dispositions as orders on the record, with compliance periods and fines to be included in written orders. Where agreements were reached before or during the hearing, the special master noted those agreements on the record and said he would issue written orders consistent with the parties’ agreement.
