Butkowski explained that with the recent change to a contracted building official, it was
necessary to make changes to the rental housing ordinance. The primary change eliminated the
refund for rental property owners that do not require multiple inspections to qualify for a license.
That benefit no longer aligns with the fee structure negotiated with the new building official.

F. Organic Turf Management Options
B utkowski noted that the City Council made the decision a number of years ago to stop using

some tough looking turf at City buildings and parks. Staff proposed hiring a company that uses
organic, non -chemical treatments to improve the turf at City Hall and the Public Works Garage.
Staff have personal experience with the company and know the treatments work over time as
they slowly eliminate invasive grasses and restore soil health through aeration and reseeding.
