I, IVAN R. JIMENEZ, hereby declare as follows:
21
1 lam a Deputy County Counsel for the County of Sonoma. I am licensed to practice
22
law in the California courts. I am one of the attorneys assigned to represent Respondents County

24
Sonoma”) (collectively referred to as the “County”). I have personal knowledge of each fact stated|
25

27
Defendants’ appeal of violations of the Sonoma County Code issued by Permit Sonoma for an

1
unpermitted fuel tank and unpermitted grading, on the property located at 8404 Brand Lane,
Penngrove, California, Assessor Parcel Number 047-202-044 (“the Property”).
3 On December 16, 2022, an Administrative Decision and Order was issued which
upheld the violations, ordered Defendants to obtain permits to abate the violations, ordered
Defendants to reimburse the County its abatement costs incurred in the administrative process, and
ordered Defendants to pay civil penalties.
4 Defendants did not seek judicial review of the Administrative Order within the time
set forth in Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5 and 1094.6.
5 On January 17, 2024, I provided timely notice pursuant to Rule 3.1203 of the Rules
10 of Court to Defendants that the County would file the present Ex Parte Application with
i Department 18 of the Court no later than 10:30a.m. on January 18, 2024. I sent notice via email to
12 both Defendants and Timothy Hannan, the last known attorney for Defendants, after I was unable
13 to reach them via phone. The notice specified the County’ Ex Parte Application would: “request a
14 temporary restraining order immediately enjoining David Scott Hansen and Regina Victoria
15 Hansen, Trustees of the Hansen Family Trust Dated March 16, 2011, and the Hansen Family Trust
16 Dated March 16, 2011, and their employees, contractors, agents, representatives, successors, and
17 assigns from: (i) creating any violations of the Sonoma County Building, Grading, Septic, or
18 Zoning Codes or regulations on the real property known as 8404 Brand Lane, Penngrove,

20 violations that exist on the Property; and (iii) engaging in any unpermitted construction,
21 unpermitted grading, or unpermitted occupancy of travel trailers on the Property. The Ex Parte
22 Application will also request the Court set an Order to Show Cause hearing on why a preliminary
23 injunction should not issue and extend the TRO until the Court issues a judgment in the pending
24 public nuisance action filed by the County against David Scott Hansen and Regina Victoria
25 Hansen, Trustees of the Hansen Family Trust Dated March 16, 2011, and the Hansen Family Trust
26 Dated March 16, 2011.”
27 6 At approximately 12:09p.m. on January 17, 2024, Mr. Hannan contacted me via
28 phone and confirmed that he represents Defendants in this matter, that he received my email
