The records in this registry are classified as general nonpublic data “security <br />information” under Minnesota Statutes § 13.37. <br /> <br />This ordinance establishes fees for vacant building registration (VBR) of residential <br />dwellings, commercial buildings, and prolonged vacancy enforcement (PVE) for each. Staff <br />is seeking City Council direction for a future resolution amending the City fee schedule <br />establishing fees and has provided a matrix showing fees from surrounding cities to assist <br />with this discussion. <br /> <br />2026-2028 Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: The establishment of this ordinance is <br />consistent with the strategy/goal “Maintain effective code enforcement promoting <br />responsible landlords and homeowners.” and “Encourage landowners to maintain and take <br />care of properties to ensure they are following codes and rules.” <br /> <br />Financial Impact: There would be no financial impact if the City implements this ordinance <br />and uses an outside third party to handle the administrative work. <br /> <br />Recommendation: Staff is recommending the following. <br />1. This draft ordinance moves forward to the March 23, 2026 City Council meeting for <br />the first reading and introduction. <br />2. City Council provide direction for the vacant building registration (VBR) fees and <br />Prolonged Vacancy Enforcement (PVE) fee for a future resolution to amend the City <br />Fee Schedule. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> Jeremiah Anderson <br />Housing/Code Enforcement Inspector <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> <br />1.
