M <br />Staff Report <br />To: Mike Mornson <br />From: John Malenick, Fire Chief <br />Date: March 27, 2008 <br />Re: Ordinance Changes and Division of Property Maintenance <br />Property Maintenance Code Changes: With the adoption of the proposed <br />changes to the city Housing Code ordinances (08-003), staff is recommending the <br />creation of a Division of Property Maintenance under the direction of the Fire <br />Department. As in the past, the Fire Department would continue enforcing the <br />housing ordinance with the addition of conducting annual rental property <br />inspections. To accomplish this would require one additional part time Deputy Code <br />Official. (See budget attachment) <br />Funding for this new division could be achieved through a restructuring of rental <br />property licensing. Our current license fees for rental property are by far the lowest <br />in the metropolitan area. An adjustment to industry norm would adequately fund the <br />activity and payroll of the new Property Maintenance Division. (See fee structure <br />attachment) <br />Attachments: <br />- Recommended fee structure for rental property <br />- Estimated budget for Property Maintenance Division <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Staff involved: Kim Moore -Sykes, Barb Suciu, Rick Lundeen and John Malenick <br />0 Page 1 <br />
