Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 9, 2016 Page 11 enacted. Mr. Trudgeon stated that he heard the concerns from the City Council about potential disconnects beyond the initial checklist for criminal background checks of tenants. Councilmember McGehee stated her acceptance of that suggestion, opining that she would support requiring the owner to provide background checks and assur- ances on tenants and maintenance and others with frequent and regular access. Councilmember McGehee stated this made it clear that the responsibility was on the owner. City Attorney Gaughan referenced line 162 of the draft ordinance, noting it was the original language specific to compliance with background checks (Item 5); at the time of the application for a license by the owner/manager. Councilinember Etten stated his preference of this being reworked before any vote to accept part of the proposed revisions. Councilmember Etten offered an- other option for language for Item B(line 113): "...after access into individual units, excluding periodic service calls by non-affiliated contractors. .." Councilmember Willmus stated his preference to not doing ordinance revisions piecemeal, but to consider all proposed changes at the same time. Mayor Roe offered several minor typographical corrections on Attachment A for the next iteration: line 64 (page 2), line 168 (page 4), and line 198 (page 6). Willmus moved, Laliberte seconded, directing staff to amend the ordinance as guided by this evening's deliberation; and return with a new iteration at a future City Council meeting for consideration. Discussion ensued regarding timing for return with the new iteration, with Interim Community Development Director Kari Collins suggestion approximately one month for staff to complete research, consult with the City Attorney, and rework the document, anticipating a June City Council meeting. Councilmember Laliberte referenced a housing forum she and Councilmember Etten had attended not long ago, sponsored by Metro Cities, with several cities at that meeting outlining their multi-family housing license agreements; and sug- gested staff include those cities in their research. Mayor Roe also suggested continuing to use the Minnesota Multi-Family Asso- ciation as a resource. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Etten, Laliberte and Roe. 1�1ays: McGehee.
