Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 08,2012 Page 17 Councilmember Pust opined that licensing was a right,not a privilege. Mayor Roe opined that, whether mandatory or not, staff needed to seek legal advice on that. Councilmember McGehee suggested that a final policy should be posted in the common area of each rental building. Member Lee noted that that would be similar to HUD requirements. Ms. Kelsey advised that the HRA and City Council needed to be aware that this program would have associated costs, since staff would need to be more in- volved; and it would take four (4) different departments or areas for that staff time to ensure a good program that reflected well on the City. Mr. Trudgeon noted that the Police Department had been a very good partner in developing this program to-date and was fully supportive of the goals and ob- jectives of the program, specifically from a public safety standpoint. Chair Maschka thanked everyone for their feedback and tonight's discussion. Mayor Roe concurred and thanked everyone as well. 11. Public Hearings 12. Business Items (Action Items) a.
