Resident raises missing school-zone citation; magistrate says hearing cannot adjudicate traffic case
Summary
A resident provided a school-zone traffic citation to city staff after the notice did not reach the City of Wauchula; Magistrate Mitchell said he could not hear the traffic matter at the Code Enforcement hearing and directed the resident to use the appeals process.
On the record, Code Enforcement Officer Raina Bergens described that a school-zone traffic citation received by Ms. Benover did not appear in city or police notification systems; Ms. Benover supplied a copy of the citation to staff at the hearing.
Magistrate Mitchell told Ms. Benover that "this was not a traffic citation hearing and he can not hear the case today," and explained that the appropriate route is the traffic-citation appeals process rather than Code Enforcement docketing. No further action on the citation was taken during this hearing.
The exchange was recorded under public comment and no formal traffic adjudication occurred at the July 23 Code Enforcement session.
