Bay County officials addressed pressing health and safety concerns during the Code Magistrate Hearing on June 18, 2025, focusing on a property plagued by issues of trespassing and raw sewage. The hearing highlighted the urgent need for action to resolve these problems, which have raised significant alarm among community members.

Vicky Perkins, a resident, expressed her frustration over repeated break-ins at her home, which have led to property damage and safety risks. She emphasized that the cones placed around her property were intended to deter trespassers, not to block access. Perkins also raised serious concerns about raw sewage leaking onto the ground, describing it as a "serious health issue." Despite efforts to mitigate the situation with lime, the problem remains unresolved.

The hearing revealed that while Perkins has obtained a permit to address some structural issues on her property, other critical safety concerns have not been adequately addressed. Investigators noted that the mobile home on the property is deemed unfit and unsafe, with no significant progress made since the last hearing. Perkins indicated uncertainty about the status of her permits, particularly regarding ownership issues that could affect her ability to proceed with repairs.

The Code Magistrate emphasized the importance of resolving these issues promptly to ensure the safety of the community. As the hearing concluded, it was clear that further action is necessary to protect residents and restore the integrity of the property. The next steps will be crucial in determining how quickly these health and safety concerns can be addressed, with the community watching closely for updates.
