Council questions and staff responses for items on October 7, 2024 City Council Meeting
9.1: Proactive Rental Inspections
Sponsors: Debbie Eller
Question: Item 9.1 regarding voluntary rental inspections includes a final paragraph in the staff summary
that indicates staff has concluded a policy of Mandatory and Proactive Rental Inspections should be
pursued. Is that the case or am I reading that incorrectly? Please advise and thanks!
Response: In April 2023, Council directed staff to develop a proactive rental inspection program. The
Council specified that the program should be multi -phased beginning with a voluntary program and
moving towards a mandatory inspection program.
On Monday, Council will consider an ordinance creating a voluntary Rental Certification Program. If
approved by the Council, the program is intended to be the first of a multi -phased inspection program
aimed at addressing rental property maintenance concerns.
