Mr. Bill Malir►en <br />�'ebnaa.ty 25, 2Q08 <br />Fage 4 <br />A landlord offering renial properiy otherwise eligible for assistance under such <br />programs could encounter issues in complying with the City ardinance and the reQuirements af <br />state and federal law. Slandard rental application forms may include questions regarding <br />eligibili#y for housing assistance. An ordinance prohibiting inquires in this area could <br />effectively mean that no housing assistance could be given for any rentai praperties in <br />Roseville. <br />Finally, we would point out that currenfily the City Code provides thai the Roseville <br />Human Righls Commissian is advisory and educational in r�ature. 1'his is in cantrast to a <br />number of other cities, where a local human rights comrnisssons process charges and <br />cornplaints. Adoption of a substantive antidiseriminatian ordinance sueh as this could result in <br />a departure from the policy that the Roseville Hurnan Rights Commission is advisory and <br />educatianal in nature. Once such an ordinance were passed, then realistically one needs to <br />laok at what are the conseyuences for a violation, how are complaints of a violation processed, <br />and who processes those complaints. Presumably, the Hu�nan Rights Commission wauld <br />become invalved, which again raises policy questions for the Council to look at. <br />Given the legal uncertasnties described herein, the good potential that the City mighl at <br />least face the burden and expense of defending the ordinance, and w�at we understand is a lack <br />of history of any problems in Roseville in this area, we would noi recomrnend that the City <br />pursue formulation and adoption af an ordinance based on Mr. Venter's proposal. <br />Very trufy yaurs, <br />r`� !'`'`y <br />r4 <br />Scott T. derson <br />Jay T. Squires <br />STA/sem <br />RRM: N i IA637 <br />
