RE: Partnerships and Continued Work in the Community with Rental Property
Owners and Renters Work Session Request
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that the City Council schedule a work
session regarding partnerships and continued work in the community with rental
property owners and renters to be held June 3rd, 2019 at the Council Chambers at
5:30pm, prior to the regularly scheduled City Council Meeting.
Over the past two years many regulatory changes have occurred for renters and rental
property owners. These changes include fee structure changes for rental licensing,
adoption of the International Property Maintenance Code, implementation of a tiered
inspection system, combined nuisance enforcement, and implementation of the Priority
Category. It has been extremely important for all Departments to communicate the
changes to those affected and help community members understand what the changes
mean for them.
Due to this, the Police Department, City Attorney's Office and the Housing & Community
Development Department have taken a proactive approach to communication,
education and compliance techniques to grow and maintain partnerships with renters
and rental property owners.
During this work session, the Departments will discuss key partnerships, cooperation,
communication, community input, compliance, and the upcoming education and support
of this unique population of the city.
