The current owners have sent a <br />letter (copy attached) requesting a partial refund of the license fee associated with the 2°`1 <br />year of the two year license. This would amount to $778. (The new owner is subject to a <br />license fee as well.) <br />Also attached are the pertinent sections of our Rental Licensing Ordinance, Chapter 3200 <br />of the Municipal Code. You will note by the highlighted language that the licenses are <br />not transferable. You will also note that proration of license fees for periods of less than <br />one year may be prorated. Because we made this a two year license, we are not <br />technically dealing with a period of less than one year. However, the language would <br />seem to imply that proration should be allowed for unused years of a multiple year <br />license. <br />Staff recommends we refund Ted Glasrud Associates MN, LLC the second unused year <br />(7/1/14 — 6/30/15) of their two year rental license fee totaling $778. Staff would also <br />recommend that the new owner's license fee be $778 for the same period being refunded. <br />
