<br />Staff is proposing a registration fee of$35-$40 per dwelling unit to cover the cost of the <br />program. A final fee recommendation will be prepared once the budget numbers are finalized. <br />Roseville charges $25 per dwelling unit, but their initial evaluation has indicated that the fee may <br />be short in covering the program costs. This fee can be adjusted up or down in subsequent years <br />to ensure that the program costs are being covered by the fee, including enforcement. <br /> <br />Education <br /> <br />As noted previously, educating property owner and tenants on city regulations is a primary <br />component of this program. Staffwill be preparing an educational pamphlet and an update to the <br />website to facilitate this process and educate property owners. The educational materials will be <br />distributed with every rental registration. This topic could also be covered in the City newsletter. <br /> <br />Implementation <br /> <br />Depending on the results of the work session, the draft ordinance could be brought back to the <br />Council for official action at the June 8 or June 29 regular City Council meeting. The ordinance <br />provides 120 days for existing properties to register after the adoption of the ordinance. <br />Thereafter, the registration would expire at midnight on June 30 of each year. Staff chose a date <br />mid-year so as to spread out the work from the business licensing program, which requires <br />renewals at the end of each year, and because a mid-year date is more in line with student rental <br />timeframes. <br /> <br />Attachment <br /> <br />A.
