• <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: <br />TOPIC: <br />AGENDA ITEM 1F <br />Michael Grochala <br />November 13, 2007 <br />Resolution No. 07 -186, Approving Community <br />Development Budget Amendment — Licensing <br />Software. <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 Vote Required <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In August of 2007 the City Council approved Ordinance No. 08 -07 Establishing and <br />Rental Housing Licensing and Property Management regulations. The ordinance <br />became effective on September 22nd. The ordinance prescribes that existing rental <br />units obtain a license from the City within 6 months of the effective date (March 22nd) <br />As part of the implementation effort staff is requesting authorization to purchase a <br />Business /Rental Property licensing software program. The City currently uses <br />• PermitWorks to process all building permits and planning cases. The Business /Rental <br />Property runs off the same software. The software will allow staff to track individual <br />property licensing and maintain an up to date database. The software will also be used <br />for other City Business licensing including, Liquor Licensing, Dog Kennels, Solid Waste <br />Handlers, Peddlers etc. <br />• <br />The cost of the additional software is $2,995.00. Staff is also anticipating some <br />additional training and data integration services in the amount of $1,000.00. Staff is <br />proposing to fund these costs by amending the Community Development Department <br />budget. As proposed the staff would recommend reducing the Planning and Zoning <br />Division Professional Services line item by $4,000.00 and increasing the Building <br />Division Professional Services line item by $4,000.00. <br />The proposed budget amendment has no net impact to the City's General Fund <br />Budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 07 -186. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1. Resolution No. 07 -186 <br />
