Hanson <br />www.ci.little- canada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 8, 2011 <br />RE: Revisions to Rental Housing Licensing Ordinance <br />Attached is an ordinance amending our City Code dealing with rental housing licensing. The changed <br />proposed via this amendment are those discussed at our workshop that was held on January 12i1'. They <br />are as follows: <br />• Increased license term for four or less units from one year to four years. The initial four -year <br />term will end June 30, 2013, regardless of when someone obtained a license. This serves to <br />moderate the license fee costs for owners of these units. <br />• Provided incentive to obtain 100% inspections of complexes with more than four units whereby <br />if they inspect 100% of all units, their license term will extend to June 30, 2013. Assuming that <br />occurs this year, that would save them the $100 per building /$12 per unit charge for one year. <br />• Implemented penalty provisions for apartments that fail to comply with licensing requirements. <br />'these changes will require us to reevaluate the program prior to the expiration of licenses on June 30°i, <br />2013. We will also pursue legislation to enable "provisional licensing" for the next session. <br />ee: Lisa Peilen, Minnesota Multi Housing Association <br />1 <br />
