<br /> <br />Mr. Pickens: Can I say something? <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Pickens: Thank you. What happened was we hired some pool contractors to build a pool in <br />our backyard and Juan was the pool contractor and his partner was Hank Shrute who also owned <br />a pool company and Hank Shrute after talking to him for a while and speaking to other <br />subcontractors about him we found out that he’s bad news to be on the jobsite so I had a <br />conversation him and talked to him around 12 noon and he was completely intoxicated and he <br />told me over the telephone, because I was questioning what kind of plumbing were you going to <br />put in the pool, I wanted particular pumps, and you know, quiet ones and what have you. And he <br />said Chris, I’m going to put the cheapest stuff I can find here. So I, and I just looked at the <br />phone going, I haven’t even paid you any money yet. I go you’re fired, you’re off the jobsite, <br />you’re done. So Juan, his partner calls me up the following day telling me hey, Shrute called <br />him up and says the Pickens are never gonna get a pool permit because he went down to his <br />buddies at the County, his drinking buddy, and informed them of violations, so called violations <br />and that I’ll never get a pool permit. The following day Kiran Emler showed up at our property <br />without doing an initial investigation of the property and handed us a Notice of Violation for a <br />grading permit. Didn’t even look at our property yet. So… <br /> <br />Ms. Pickens: I think you’re well aware that Mr. Northrop refused to answer that last question. I <br />think that should give you sufficient evidence that he’s aware that he violated our right to privacy <br />when he mentioned that he has an excellent history following through with violations and <br />communicating with people, yet, he found violations May 26, of 2011 but yet he didn’t file those <br />until 10 months later, 10 months later it took him to file those violations that he had made me <br />aware of 10 months earlier and when he says, oh it was the little stuff, growing marijuana in <br />County property, I think we all know that’s a Federal violation. I don’t consider that little stuff. <br />He had also told me of a neighbor that built rock wall stairs into County property. That’s not a <br />little tree so I think that that’s all I need to say. <br /> <br />Mr. Northrop: To rebut that please. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Go ahead and then we’re going to have our own discussion. <br /> <br />Mr. Northrop: Thank you. We’ve been instructed not to pursue violations until there’s a <br />complaint against that party. That’s how I’ve been instructed by my superiors. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Thank you. <br /> <br />Mr. Pickens: May I say one final statement? <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Pickens: We are currently in talks with the FBI and we found out the FBI actually has a <br />whole department for public corruption. So this, I understand that as far as the point about Hank <br />Shrute getting fired and him going to meet with his drinking buddy and getting this violation put <br />against us, that’s all going to go down as for them to deal with. <br /> <br /> <br />34 <br /> <br />
