Resident says she received forged affidavit; city attorney says notice and statutory process will follow

Joanne Glavich, who identified herself and gave a Dade City address during the public‑comment period, told the commission she expected follow‑up letters in mid‑January and a mediation notice but had received nothing. She said she obtained what she believes is an affidavit bearing her name and a notary stamp from a person she does not know and called the situation "so corrupt." She asked what comes next and whether there is anything she should do.

City Attorney Patrick Brackens responded that the city is working to schedule the required proceeding under the applicable statute and that all affected parties will receive statutorily required notice and have the opportunity to participate. Brackens said he had seen the affidavit Ms. Glavich described and that it will raise issues in the upcoming proceeding, but he declined to comment further on the content during the meeting.

Mayor Black and staff told Ms. Glavich that staff — and if necessary the city attorney’s office — will follow up directly and ensure she receives any notices and timelines. Ms. Glavich said she did not want to be a nuisance and thanked the commission for their attention.

The city did not schedule the proceeding during the meeting; the attorney said scheduling continues to be coordinated and that the city will send certified notices when dates are set. The commission did not take formal action on the matter during the meeting.
