City attorney reports AG opinion request on open-carry firearms and files motion for summary judgment in 2023 foreclosure case

The City Attorney reported to the commission that the city submitted a formal request to the state attorney general seeking an opinion on open-carry firearms. The letter, the attorney said, was about 11 to 12 pages long with attachments and was sent earlier in the month.

Separately, the City Attorney said the city filed a foreclosure action in 2023 related to code enforcement liens on a multi-unit property and has since filed a motion for summary judgment to resolve the matter without trial. The property referenced on the record is 10710 Southwest Sixth Street. The attorney said the motion and related filings were substantial and he expected the matter to be set for hearing in January or February.

The City Attorney also reported that a complaint filed with the Florida Commission on Human Rights by Yamalyn Gamez concluded with the commission finding no probable cause to proceed with further investigation.

No commissioners requested additional litigation strategy details or schedule modifications during the public portion of the report; specific hearing dates were not recorded on the public docket at the meeting.
