Tom Mueller - City Housing Code Amendments # Thomas J. Mueller Gallery Properties 580 Alta Vista Dubuque, IA 52001 J an. 11, 1999 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members % City Clerk, Dubuque City Hall 50 West 13th St. Dubuque, IA 52001 Ref: Proposed Amendments to City Housing Code The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: The housing providers in the City request that the Mayor and City Council repeal certain amendments to the City Housing Code that were passed in Jan. 1998. We propose new amendments that are more in harmony with the intent and purpose of the Code and with Federal HUD Housing Quality Standards. The stated Legislative Findings and Purpose of the Code is to protect and promote the public health, safety and general welfare; and further to establish minimum residential housing standards. The stated purpose of the HUD subsidized housing programs is to provide low income families with decent, safe, and sanitary rental housing. Those Code articles, and their interpretation and enforcement that are unrelated to health, safety, and welfare of the public effectively reduce the available supply and choices of affordable housing. Those single parents, elderly, physically or mentally impaired and other low income families are denied decent, safe, and sanitary housing due to Code articles that address cosmetic issues. This is not the intent of the HUD federally subsidized housing programs. Presently there is 8.5% vacancy rate across the range of housing costs in the City, yet the community is continually reminded of the affordable housing problem. Entertaining any rhetoric about the shortage of affordable housing should be met with question, in view of the current over supply and the Code requirements. There are solutions to this issue already available to the Housing Authority via the supply of qualified housing in the private sector. Those Code articles affecting non-HUD mandated requirements superficially reduce the supply of available housing to those families who rely on the subsidized housing programs. The HUD Housing Quality Standards clearly provide the requirements by which those programs are to be administered. The articles we refer to have to do with the placement or screening from view of garbage containers, and the interpretation and enforcement of painted surfaces. These articles in combination with the "Site and Neighborhood" Code article, make it nearly impossible to be in full compliance. We are also proposing reinstatement of the wording of the "Grandfather Clause" prior to the Jan. 1998 amendment. The present amendment alludes to a waiver of due process regarding appeals. We propose refunding appeals fees where variances are granted, which better accomplishes the intent of the present amendment. The housing providers are in favor of maintaining decent, safe, and sanitary housing and we are not trying to avoid that responsibility. The proposed amendments remove ambiguity and clarify the Code ..

The Housing Commission voted against all the amendments and the Housing Appeals Board voted against the amendment to the "Grandfather Clause" when they originally were proposed in July 1997. Attached are the articles for repeal, the reasons for the proposed changes and the proposed new amendments. We respectfully request the Mayor and City Council adopt these newly proposed amendments. Best regards, -~( Thomas J. ~ller Submitted on behalf of the housing providers Attachments: Proposed amendments HUD Housing Quality Standards AMEND THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA, CHAPTER 26, HOUSING REGULATIONS, BY: Repealing the Code section 26-3(b)(1)e relating to Owner-Supplied Garbage Containers passed Jan. 19,1998 Repealing the Code section 26-3(b )(2)c relating to Occupant Responsibilities for Storage and Disposal of Garbage passed Jan. 19, 1998 Present code section text for both: 26-3(b)(1)e and 26-3(b)(2)c In all residential districts other than those zoned R-I single-family, containers shall not be stored in a front yard area or on the front porch of the dwelling, unless the Housing Official determines that it is impractical to provide an alternate storage location. When stored in a side yard area, containers shall be screened from view from the public right of way by means of a permanently installed enclosure. Reason for repeal These two amendments completely changed the intent of the previous Code article by the requirement of placement or screening of containers rather than the requirement of containers. Both of the above stated amendments have to do with cosmetics and have nothing to do with protecting or promoting health, safety, and general welfare and go well beyond minimum residential housing standards. Decent, safe and sanitary housing for low income families on subsidized housing is excluded by these amendments. These two amendments discriminate against all multi-family zoned properties. This is inherently wrong and for the first time the Code begins to segregate owner occupied properties from nonowner occupied properties. The Code is intended to apply to all residential property. These two amendments serve to send the message to those residents that choose for whatever reason to be tenants that their garbage is less attractive than owner occupied property. Screening or enclosing of garbage containers makes maintenance around these areas and access to them by the garbage haulers more difficult. Enclosing the containers actually contributes to providing a harborage for rats and rodents as the enclosure begins to be used as the container. Stand alone garbage containers are the simplest and most sanitary disposal method. We propose reinstatement of the original wording prior to these amendments being passed as follows: Proposed amendment Code section 26-3(b)(1)e relating to Owner-Supplied Garbage Containers 26-3(b)(1)e. Every owner or operator of a duplex or multiple unit dwelling shall supply garbage containers which are adequate in number, approved by the Housing Inspector and in compliance with this code. Proposed amendment Code section 26-3(b )(2)c relating to Occupant Responsibilities for Storage and Disposal of Garbage 26-3(b)(2)c. Every occupant of a dwelling unit shall dispose of rubbish, garbage, animal waste, and other organic waste in a clean and sanitary manner by placing it in the supplied disposal facilities or storage containers required by this code or by having it removed from the premises. Repealing the Code 26-10(g)(3)e relating to Exterior Wood Surfaces passed Jan. 19, 1998 Present code section text: 26-10(g)(3)e. All exterior wood surfaces, and exterior brick surfaces when painted, shall be protected from water seepage and against deterioration with a paint covering or some other suitable material. Reason for repeal The above stated amendment, where referring to brick surfaces, has to do with cosmetics and has nothing to do with protecting or promoting health, safety, and general welfare and goes well beyond minimum residential housing standards. Decent, safe and sanitary housing for low income families on subsidized housing is excluded by this amendment. We propose reinstatement of the original wording prior to this amendment being passed as follows: Proposed amendment Code 26-10(g)(3)e relating to Exterior Wood Surfaces 26-10(g)(3)e. All exterior wood surfaces requiring chemical preservation shall be protected from water seepage and against deterioration with a paint covering or some other suitable material. Repealing the Code 26-10(j)(3)a and b relating to Lead-Based Paint Surfaces Present code section text: 26-10(j)(3)a. All interior painted surfaces shall be free from loose, flaking, or peeling paint, or paint that is in any way noticeably separating form the constructed surface material. 26-10(j)(3)b. All exterior painted surfaces shall be free from loose, flaking, or peeling paint; all exterior wood and brick surfaces shall be treated as per subsection 26-10(g)(3)e of this section. Reason for repeal Presently these interpretations are taken out of context from HUD Housing Quality Standards and enforced on all units regardless of year built or whether the family has children under 6 which was not HUD's intent. Also the qualifying text regarding when a defective surface required treatment was left out of this interpretation. Decent, safe and sanitary housing for low income families on subsidized housing is excluded by this amendment. The proposed amendments include the full HUD qualifications (see attached) therefore interpretation and enforcement will not exclude qualified housing from those subsidized housing programs. We propose the following new amendments: page 2 Proposed new amendments Code 26-10U)(3)a. and b. relating to Lead-Based Paint Surfaces 26-10(j)(3)a. A defective paint surface is a surface on which the paint is cracking, scaling, chipping, peeling, or loose and shall be treated in accordance to 26-10(j)(3)b. 26-10(j)(3)b. Defective paint surfaces found in pre-1978 units with children under the age of 6 shall be treated according to the following HUD requirements: A defective paint surface shall be treated if the defective surface includes more than 10 square feet on an exterior wall, more than 2 square feet on an interior component with a large surface area such as ceilings, walls, floors, or doors, or more than 10 percent of the total surface area on an interior or exterior component with a small surface area including window sills, baseboards, and trim. The Housing Office may exempt from such treatment defective paint surfaces that are found in a report by a qualified lead-based paint inspector not to be lead-based paint. Repealing section 26-1(c) relating to Scope and Application (Grandfather Clause) passed Jan. 19, 1998 Present Code Section Text 26-1(c) The provisions of this code shall apply to all real or personal property or portions thereof designated, used, or intended to be used, for human habitation. Real or personal property in existence at the time of passage of this code may have its construction, design, arrangement, use, and occupancy continued if such was constructed in accordance with the code applicable to the city at that time provided they are not presently likely to endanger the life, limb, health, or safety of the occupants or owners, or the public in general. The Housing Officer shall determine application of this provision on a case by case basis when property conditions are identified not to be in accordance with current city code, and there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of the code. The Housing Officer must first find that a special individual reason makes enforcement of the strict letter of the code impractical and that allowing the continuance of the construction, design, arrangement, use or occupancy is in accordance with the intent and purpose of the code and will not lessen any requirements to provide for the health or safety of the occupants or owner, or the public in general. Reason for repeal This amendment passed in Jan. 1998 effectively gives more authority to the Housing Officer and strips property rights from property owners. This article, known as the "Grandfather Clause", is the only protection that property owners have to continue using their property without being forced to continually revamp the property to the ever changing Code. Property owners can be cited for any present Code violation even though the property was constructed in accordance with the code applicable to the City at the time of construction. This Housing Code applies to every residential property in the City not just rental property. page 3 Prior to this amendment, the Housing Officer already had the power and authority to set policy on when to invoke the Grandfather Clause. This amendment added the second paragraph which alludes to having already found the violation without merit of application of the Grandfather Clause and therefore circumvents due process byway of the Housing Appeals Board. The Housing Officer readily admits that "As a practical matter, we have rarely invoked this clause". The intent of this amendment can be better accomplished by the proposed amendment to the "Appeal Fees" article. We request reinstatement of the original wording prior to the amendment striking the second paragraph. Proposed new amendment section 26-1(c) relating to Scope and Application (Grandfather Clause) 26-1(c) The provisions of this code shall apply to all real or personal property or portions thereof designated, used, or intended to be used, for human habitation. Real or personal property in existence at the time of passage of this code may have its construction, design, arrangement, use, and occupancy continued if such was constructed in accordance with the code applicable to the city at that time provided they are not presently likely to endanger the life, limb, health, or safety of the occupants or owners, or the public in general. Repealing section 26-9(b) Appeal Filing Fees Present Code Section Text: 26-9(b) At the time of filing such an application for an appeal, the appellant shall pay therewith a filing fee in an amount specified by the Resolution of the City Council. Reason for repeal Presently property owners are required to pay an appeals fee of $25 to appeal to the Housing Board to request a variance or to contest the validity of citations for Code violations. This is inherently wrong and inconsistent with a democratic system of government. It also encourages over zealous enforcement to generate fees and is a form of intimidation to discourage due process. This would be similar to having to pay a fee to challenge a traffic ticket. We request that this appeals filing fee be refunded in the event the appellant prevails. We propose the following new amendment: Proposed new amendment Section 26-1(c) relating to Appeal Filing Fee 26-1 (c) At the time of filing such an application for an appeal, the appellant shall pay therewith a refundable filing fee in an amount specified by the Resolution of the City Council. The amount refunded shall be determined by the board and shall be in direct proportion to the success of the appellant's appeal. page 4 :'</10 ,ll ~" :c,./ JPprovable public or private water ,; supply that is sanitary and free from ./ contamination. i / (j) Lead-based oint e ormonce reqUlrement.- 1 urpose an applicability.

Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Housing Code Enforcement Mr. Tom Mueller has petitioned the City Council to make modifications to the Housing Code. Most of these changes would be a reversal of recent modifications to the code which were made after significant input from landlords, neighborhoods, and others. I would agree that there have been some implementation problems with one of these changes. That is the one that relates to screening garbage cans. I would further suggest that another point they made has merit, if they are successful on an appeal, refunding their fee might be appropriate. However, I have met with Mr. Mueller and he advocates the City adopting only the minimum HUD code requirements, and no more. That has not been the City position since the code was adopted in 1980, and I do not believe it should be now. At the urging of Tom Mueller and Carol Copeland, over twenty people sent me a form letter about this issue. I have already scheduled a meeting with them. Also, Mr. Mueller brought these issues to the Housing Commission last week. In addition, the City Council recently endorsed a survey process, in conjunction with the women religious (led by Sister Helen Huewe), to get the opinions of stakeholders about affordable housing. This will culminate in a Housing Summit early next year. I respectfully request that the Mayor and City Council refer this issue to the City Manager to resolve short term issues and for other issues to be resolved through the year-long Housing Survey and Summit. ~~JJ~e~{]L MCVM/j Attachment cc: Barry Lindahl, Corporation Counsel Tim Moerman, Assistant City Manager David Harris, Housing Services Manager Housing Services Division 1805 Central Avenue Dubuque, Iowa 52001-3610 (319) 589-4230 (319) 589-4231 13 January 99 meen"" ~du DUB - E ~c/k.~ To: Mike V~~ligen, City Manager From: David ~arris, Housing Services Department Re: Issues Regarding Housing Code Enforcement Program Introduction The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to your request for information regarding the Department's housing code enforcement. Discussion History The Iowa Legislature in 1979 mandated that all municipalities with a population of 15 000 or more implement a housing code enforcement program. Further, local codes were to be based upon one of five nationally recognized codes. The Community Development Department responded in 1980 by writing a housing code based on the Department of Housing and Urban Development's "Housing Quality Standards (HQS)." These standards were developed by HUD as a minimum code for enforcement in public housing. Dubuque's code incorporated the HQS performance standards, while adding other local requirements judged necessary for the preservation and maintenance of decent, safe and sanitary housing. From the inception, the City Council endorsed the principle of a higher standard than that set by HUD's regulations. This code was adopted for enforcement in all rental properties, including both Section 8 Program units and all other apartments, city-wide. It has been periodically amended since that time, in response to changing HUD requirements and otherwise as local enforcement issues have dictated. Current Issues A confusion over the City Council's intent in adoption of this model of enforcement has surfaced from time to time. Owners of HUD-subsidized (Section 8) properties ask why non-HUD mandated requirements are enforced in their properties. For instance, in 1990 our Code was amended to include adoption of the national (NFPA) standard for smoke detectors, which had the effect of requiring detectors in Section 8 units. (Subsequently, HUD adopted the same standard as part of HQS regulations). It is sometimes mentioned that other Iowa cities may not have the same program of enforcement, allowing a minimum condition standard in Section 8 housing while enforcing a higher standard in other rental units. Dubuque's intent in adoption of this model was to insure that all rental housing would conform to an acceptable standard, again, in the interest of preserving and maintaining our housing stock. Each time the Dubuque code has been amended, the revised Housing Code has been submitted to our area HUD field office for review and approval for use in the Section 8 Program. Clearly, enforcement of a housing code in older dwellings must effect a compromise, between Service People Integrity Responsibility Innovation Teamwork interests of public safety, neighborhood/downtown revitalization efforts and financial concerns of owners attempting to generate positive cash flows. The housing code must recognize that it is not feasible to require older units to conform to modern building code standards, as often the conditions in older buildings would otherwise require extensive and costly modifications to comply. For this reason, the code has been written in an attempt to effect that compromise; and it is regularly amended to reflect these issues. Efforts at Accommodation Instances of those accommodations of the interests of landlords are numerous. Since 1987, the minimum ceiling height standard for habitable rooms has been reduced from seven feet-six inches to 7-0 feet. Hallway/bathroom (non-habitable rooms) ceiling height was reduced from 7-0 to six feet-eight inches. Minimum room area was reduced from 150 to 100 square feet. Requirements for minimum light and ventilation (10% and 5% of room area, respectively), were reduced to 8% and 4%. After the Council adopted provisions of the Uniform Fire Code, calling for windows to have a net clear opening of 5.7 square feet (for emergency egress), so many older units failed the standard that the Code was subsequently revised to allow a 3.5 square foot opening. Other initiatives, sponsored by the Housing Services Department, have complemented those accommodation efforts. Since 1994, the Department has convened two ad hoc "housing code review task forces," appointed by the Housing Commission and representing the interests of the Commission, Housing Code Appeals Board, landlords and other members of the public. The 1994 task force report resulted in a policy of noticing (and sometimes issuing a municipal citation to) tenants whose actions cause violations of the Housing Code in their units. Examples of these types of violations include disarming smoke detectors and illegal use of extension cords. The most recent task force report again examined the issue of ceiling heights in older buildings. As a result, the standard was reduced, by action of the Council, from six feet-eight inches to six feet-four inches, in stairways. Enforcement in Other Iowa Cities As the issue of which codes should be utilized in enforcement in subsidized VS. market rental properties has been periodically raised, the Housing Department has also surveyed other cities to compare programs of code enforcement. Most recently, a survey of all major Iowa cities was completed last summer to determine which codes were in use, for both HUD-subsidized and other rental properties. Of the eight cities surveyed, half (including Dubuque), inspect all units according to a locally-adopted code which incorporates the HUD-HQS standards. (These other cities include Ft Dodge, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City). The City of Des Moines employs a variation on this model, inspecting Section 8 units according to HQS and all other units according to a local ordinance which incorporates the HOS standards. Other variations include the cities of Waterloo and Ames, which have adopted a local (non-HUD based) ordinance for inspecting non-subsidized units (they use HOS for Section 8 properties); and Davenport, which has incorporated the Uniform Housing Code for enforcement in non- subsidized units. A chart detailing this survey is attached to this memorandum. It would appear that Dubuque's enforcement model is the approach used by the majority of larger Iowa cities. However, the policy issue will continue to be debated, as some rental owners feel that a more minimal standard should be employed in Section 8 properties. And while it is probable that some owners choose to not participate in the Program, due to Dubuque's policy of enforcing a higher standard in all properties, it is also a fact that the Program has not experienced a shortage of participating owners to-date. Our first Section 8 units were funded in 1976. The Housing Department fully utilizes all its allocated certificates and vouchers. Recent Code Amendments The most recent amendments to the Code were passed by Council in January 98. These included an operational definition of the Housing Officer's authority relative to the "grandfather clause," a requirement for screening garbage containers when visible from the street (in residential districts other than those zoned R-1 single family), and a requirement to repaint previously painted brick surfaces when the paint deteriorates. The process for incorporation of public comment for this set of proposals took place over a twelve-month period. It included meetings of the Housing Commission, Housing Code Appeals Board, meetings with two downtown neighborhood associations, an appearance before the Dubuque Landlords Association and, finally, a mediation session conducted by the Dispute Resolution Center and attended by representatives of both neighborhood associations and the Landlords Association. The process also included a worksession with the City Council. All of these proposals were originated by neighborhood and citizen groups. In particular, the request to ope rationalize the powers of the Housing Officer in interpretation of the grandfather clause came at the request of the Landlords Association. However, some rental owners have continued to maintain that this process lacked legitimacy. A proposal has recently been circulated to request the Council to rescind these 1998 amendments. Examination of our experience with the revised ordinance may prove instructive. Since April 98, requests have been filed for 44 reviews under the grandfather clause. Under the operationalized definition, threshold requirements for approval include the following: 1) the code-deficient condition must have been constructed in conformance with the prevailing code at that time; 2) there are "practical difficulties" in applying the Code in the specific case; and 3) allowance of the condition will not otherwise endanger the health or safety of the occupants or the general public. Favorable reviews have been granted in twenty of the cases to-date. This means that the landlords seeking relief were granted a continuance of the non-conforming condition, that their case was handled expeditiously (not scheduled for the Appeals Board with the associated 3D-day wait) and that the filing fee was refunded in full. The Department's analysis is that this process appears to be functioning smoothly. It has reduced the number of appeals (and resulted in a reduction of appeal fee revenues). And the Appeals Board no longer has to hear cases which clearly meet the intent of the grandfather provision. Discussion with the Department inspection staff regarding experience with the other two Code revisions again concludes that implementation has been satisfactory. Regarding screening of garbage containers, inspectors report that in the majority of cases the containers were removed to the rear of the buildings, in satisfaction of the ordinance. Approximately a dozen notices have been sent for repainting of brick surfaces; these enforcement actions have been processed without incident. Appeals Board Fees A current proposal has been circulated to rescind the $25 filing fee to the Housing Code Appeals Board. An understanding of the 1994 origination of the filing fee may be useful in this case. Owners are routinely given 60-90 days to correct noticed Code violations. In past years, a small minority of property owners began to routinely file multiple requests - to the Appeals Board - for extensions of time to complete repairs. (A "variance" is also granted by the Board for a time extension). This resulted in lengthy Board agendas and a time-consuming processing workload for the permit clerk. The Department recommended adoption of the filing fee at that time, in the interest of reducing the number of this type of request. The Council approved the institution of the fee, and the practice of "frivolously" filing for time extensions was effectively eliminated. The Housing Department receives approximately $1500 annually in appeals fees. Of these, approximately 40% are for time extensions. As previously mentioned, given the recent implementation of the grandfather provisions review process, this total is projected to decrease. The effect of eliminating appeals fees - or of eliminating fees for time extensions. will not have a significant adverse fiscal impact on the Department's operating revenues. Paint Enforcement Issues Without question, the major source of complaint - and often confusion - with the code enforcement program has to do with chipping or peeling paint. Dubuque's code was originally written in 1980, in compliance with the State mandate. In regard to lead-based paint, it adopted the HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 35. However, in addition it required the following: Section 20-7.05 Exterior Wood Surfaces. All exterior wood surfaces shall be in sound condition and adequately protected from water seepage and against deterioration with a paint covering or some other suitable material. Section 20-7.06 Walls, Flaking or Peeling Paint. All walls, ceilings, interior woodwork, doors and windows shall be kept free from flaking, peeling or loose paint. What was codified from the first housing code was a distinction between treatment of lead painted and non-lead painted surfaces. In the first case, HUD regulations required certain procedures when identifying or removing lead paint. In the two paragraphs listed under Section 20, above, however, Dubuque established a local code requirement regarding the maintenance of all painted surfaces. The current Code now incorporates HUD lead paint regulations written at 24 CFR Part 982. And the language regarding general treatment of painted surfaces has changed only incrementally: Section 26-10(g)(3)e. Exterior Wood Surfaces. All exterior wood surfaces, and exterior brick surfaces when painted, shall be protected from water seepage and against deterioration with a paint covering or some other suitable material. Section 26-100)(3)a. All interior painted surfaces shall be free from loose, flaking or peeling paint, or paint that is in any way noticeably separating from the constructed surface material. Section 26-100)(3)b. All exterior painted surfaces shall be free from loose, flaking or peeling paint; all exterior wood and brick surfaces shall be treated as per subsection 26-10(g)(3)e. of this section. The confusion that surrounds this issue concems the HUD regulations, at Part 982, as they differ with other provisions of Dubuque's Housing Code. They relate to lead painted surfaces only, and include the following provisions: - O-bedroom (efficiency) units are exempted from coverage by the Regulations - units designated exclusively for the elderly are exempted - units previously certified as lead-free are exempted - deteriorated paint above five-feet from the floor or ground - or otherwise not accessible to young children - is exempted from treatment - if the area of deteriorated paint, on an exterior surface, is less than ten square feet in area, it is exempted from treatment - if the area of deteriorated paint, on any single building component, is less than two square feet in area, it is exempted from treatment These regulations do not require the treatment of peeling or chipping paint - when that paint contains lead - under any of the above listed conditions. Yet our Housing Code otherwise requires that all loose or deteriorated paint, on any interior or exterior surface, must be treated by scraping and painting. This basic distinction is the crux of the current proposal for amendment of the Code. It, again, illustrates how Dubuque's code calls for a higher standard than the HUD minimum housing requirements, which were originally developed for enforcement in public housing projects. The Housing Summit For the past two months, staff of the Housing Department, working with Housing Commissioners, representatives of six area women religious communities under the direction of Sr Helen Huewe, and other interested citizens have initiated an "appreciative inquiry" process. This process has been designed and implemented in an attempt to survey landlords, contractors, realtors and all other housing "stakeholders" in Dubuque, to learn how the Department and its constituents can achieve mutual goals. It is a process in which one-on-one interviews elicit "best" stories about experiences with City government and about customer service. Participants are asked how improvements in delivery of housing and supportive services could be achieved. More than 60 interviewers are now having these conversations with over 250 stakeholders throughout the community. In mid-February, a two-day "summit" will be convened, under the direction of skilled facilitators, to share and learn from this information. We will discuss the issues and trends which have been identified through the interviews. An action plan for response to concerns will be outlined. And all differing points of view will be respected and shared. The second phase of this inquiry process, called the "future search" conference, is planned for the Fall of 1999. This process includes the convening of a steering committee to oversee the gathering and analysis of a housing needs assessment. A three-day conference is then held at the culmination of this effort, with the intent of development of a consensus-built plan for the delivery of housing and related services for the Dubuque community. This includes agreement about the roles of government, non-profit and social service agencies and the private sector. It is intended to forge new partnerships among housing providers, to explore and leverage new resources and to bring about a renewed spirit of cooperation among the stakeholders. At your direction, area landlords who have recently communicated with your office are being invited to participate in this process. Some had already been interviewed and interviewers reported on constructive exchanges of ideas. It is my hope that we can respond to these owners and capitalize on an opportunity to establish improved relations through participation in the customer survey effort now under way. / . , - , Executive Management Ltd. Carol Copeland, Broker 133:> Locust Dubuque, la. 52001 Telephone 319-556-1 ~ Fax 319-556-8514 December 18, 1998 Dear Housing Provider, As you will recall, some new changes were passed by the City Council last January which again diminished the rights of the property owner with rental housing. We had a meeting, and agreed to take further action to get the new items repealed. We spoke to a great many people regarding these issues. I must confess that some other business items came along, and I did not stay on these issues as I should have. The good news is that one of our members, Tom Mueller, has continued with the effort, and has done a great deal of investigation regarding our current housing situation. He has visited other cities in our area to learn how they handle these issues, and most importantly, has contacted the Kansas City HUD office and received some very interesting information from them regarding their guidelines. The most interesting part of the HUD information is how it differs from what we have been told, and how those guidelines are interpreted and enforced in Dubuque. Tom has drafted a letter to the City Manager expressing our concerns, and our plans to go to the City Council with those concerns. He feels, as do I, that we need to present a united front when it comes to housing issues. I have enclosed a copy of his letter for you to review. If you are in agreement with the issues as they are put forth in the letter, please take the time to sign the bottom with your name and home address, and send the letter to the City Manager. We feel that if Mr. Van Milligen is flooded with letters, he will have to take note of the issues, and may be helpful in getting them resolved. Our success with this effort depends on your support and response. I have enclosed an extra copy of the letter if you have a friend or relative that may wish to be involved in this effort. We will have a meeting on Thursday, January 7, 1999, at the office of the Dubuque Board of Realtors, 1828 Carter Road, Dubuque, to further discuss the information that Tom has gathered. The meeting will be at 7:00 P.M. We hope to have a very informational meeting that will help all of us. All of these efforts are focused on presenting the issues to the City Council on January 18, 1999. Please call: 319-556-1605 to let us know if you can attend. s~ ~Jl Carol Copeland Michael Van Milligen, City Manager City Hall, 50 West 13th S1. Dubuque,Ia. 52001 Ref Housing Issues Dear Mr. Van Milligen: The general purpose and intent of the Housing Code is to protect and promote the public health, safety, and general welfare; and further to establish minimum residential housing standards. The Housing Officer however, continues to amend and interpret the Code to effect cosmetics, and further expand the power and authority of the Housing Officer. In January of 1998, several amendments were passed by the City Council which had nothing to do with the intent and purpose of this Code. These amendments further expanded the Housing Officer's authority, and stripped the property owners of rights. The housing providers in the city are concerned about the lack of the spirit of cooperation with the Housing Office. The over zealous interpretation and enforcement of the Code have alienated the housing community. The Housing Officer continues to enforce non HUD mandated requirements on the housing providers of subsidized housing. The Housing Office inspections border on harassment and abuse of power and authority. The appeals process is thwarted by intimidation and manipulation by the Housing Manager. Housing providers are exposed to unreasonable Code interpretation and then find appeals filing fees are financial punishment for challenging the Housing Officer. It i$ inherently wrong to be required to pay a fee to appeal alleged Code violations. At the very least, the fees should be refunded if the property owner prevails. The conduct and attitude of the Housing Officer have done a disservice to the housing community and making worse the issue of affordable housing. The housing providers costs of operating are unnecessarily driven up, negatively impacting the affordable housing issues and having no impact on health and safety issues. Decent, safe, and sanitary housing units have been effectively removed from the market and made unavailable to those relying on the subsidized housing programs. What purpose does this serve? We submit to you the Housing Officer is part of the problem of affordable housing. The prevailing attitude of the housing providers toward the Housing Officer is one of mistrust. Efforts to work with the Housing Officer for some sense of reasonableness in the Code interpretation and enforcement have been in vain. At a time when vacancies are at 8.5% in the City, we find it necessary to petition the City Council for relief in the form of repeals to certain Code articles. We plan to submit our petition at the January 18, 1999 City Council meeting to repeal the amendments regarding the "Grandfather Clause", "Garbage Containers", "Painted Surfaces", and "Appeals Fees"; and propose new amendments on the same. We request the City Manager's assistance and advice in improving relations with the Housing Office to build a better partnership with the housing community. Best regards, , .

Van Milligen City Manager cc: David Harris, Housing Services Manager Thomas J. Mueller Gallery Properties 580 Alta Vista Dubuque, IA 52001 Jan. 11, 1999 The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members % City Clerk, Dubuque City Hall 50 West 13th St. Dubuque, IA 52001 Ref: Memorandum from City Manager regarding City Housing Code petition The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: With all due respect to the City Manager, we wish to respond to the Jan. 14 memorandum to The Mayor and City Council regarding our petition to the City Council. Regarding the public input to the amendments passed in Jan. 1998, The City Housing Commission voted against all of the amendments and The City Housing Appeals Board vote against the "Grandfather Clause". The landlords represented voted against the "Painted Surfaces" amendment. The majority of the landlords in the City were not aware that these amendments were being proposed and in addition, where they were aware, thought they were only going to apply to the Historical Districts. Regarding this petition initiative, we don't want the Mayor and City Council to be left with the impression that there are only two property owners concerned about these issues. Our petition is the result of many property owner's collective input on the issues. The number of units represented was approximately 1200 plus. We have organized our thoughts and put the issues in writing for consideration. With regard to suggestion that these issues be resolved thr.ough the year long Housing Survey and Summit, we reviewed the "Appreciative Inquiry" questionnaire (see attached copy) and we don't see where these amendments are dealt with per se. We respectfully request that these amendments be resolved directly, with the appropriate review and hearings; rather than waiting for the results of the inquiry which mayor may not address these issues.
