1 This could be is o component that is eliminated from the ordinance where a 2 dup/ex is Z owner occupied or the property owner lives on the adjoining 3 property. 5 17. Why charge the good owners? Why not just punish the bad owners? 6 Burnsville Ordinance as nn example. Staff Response - The on/y effective way 7 to find the bad owners is thru periodic inspections of oll renta/ units. 8 Another case of the few bad opples spoiling the bunch. Like entering the 9 Dome for a footbal/game, everyone must have their purses and backpacks 10 inspected to find the few who bring in contrabond. It moy seem like a wasted 11 effort on the law abiding citizens, but it is necessary to weed out those few 12 who take advontage of the situation. A/so, we must not forget that these 13 rentalproperties are businesses'profiting from ond operating in o 14 predominately residential area. If one is operating a business it is not 15 unreasonoble to expect to pay a small fee ($4 a month is very small compa�ed 16 to typicol rents �eceived) so that the ci ty can monitor this business as a 17 group and verify it does not adversely affect other property owners nearby 18 (and wha's homes often represent their lorgestpersonalosset/investment). 19 Citystaff and Attorney wil/ need to review the ordinance in detail. However, 20 the initia/reactian is that the Burnsville ordinance is very /imited and would 21 not affectively oddress current issues It concentrates on administration of 22 crime related issues The property owner must be part of vorious levels of 23 invalvement with housinggraups such as the multi-fomi/y housing coalitian, 24 etc which Roseville does not have o very active participate. There is agroup 25 - Crime Free MFhousing - but they most/y deal with police issues in /arger 26 faci/ities Staff wou/d need to be ossigned to implement a more prooctive 27 crime free mu/ti family progrom for it to be effective. Who would do that.� 28 Police.� In Burnsville, there is no inspection requirement so it is unc%ar how 29 this would wo�k and how the city would know if there was any vio%tion except 30 re/ated to police colls.� The prog�am is costing Burnsville $30,000 to 31 administer, mostly for meetings, mailings and pape�work. It does not caver 32 inspection costs 33 34 18. Need to mnke sure that the inspection report will hold up in court. Staff 35 Response - Staff would prapose copying others cities forms and procedures 36 thot hove proven effective ond compliant. We want to be consistent with 37 surrounding communities. 38 39
