Mounds View City Council October 23, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 9 Mayor Marty suggested that someone talk to the residents in that unit to apprise them of the situation and suggest they begin the search should that become necessary. Inspector Jeremiah Anderson explained that Staff is open to the idea of amending the Resolution. He then said that this is a four unit rental building with shared heating paid for by the owner and so is the garbage and there could be a situation where there is a nonpayment for heating based on the financial situation of the property owner. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Thomas. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 6954, Non-Renewal of Multiple Dwelling Rental License at 5701 Quincy Street as Amended. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the City will lose some of its ability to control some of these things because it becomes a single unit rental rather than multiple. He then said that the only thing the City wants to allow is for the resident that is there to remain there for a period of time stated. Council agreed to have this restricted to the current occupant for the next 90 days. City Attorney Riggs indicated that they are in violation and the units cannot be rented. He then said that he is not sure where they are in the foreclosure process and there may be an issue with heating as it is a commercial unit and the cold weather rule is different. He further suggested that Council handle only the matter before them regarding non-renewal of the license and require that none of the other units be rented. Council Member Gunn suggested leaving the Resolution as it is but change the 30 days to 90 days and require that all unoccupied dwelling units cannot be rented. City Attorney Riggs suggested adding a statement to the Resolution that Staff will continue to monitor the situation and work with the property owner over the 90 day period, and will keep the Council informed. Council agreed. Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. D.

Council Member Thomas said that when the Communications Coordinator came on board Council requested that she provide additional website training and asked whether that has taken place.
