Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, February 13, 2017 <br /> Page 19 <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> f. Approval of Licenses for Multi-family Rental Dwellings with Five or More <br /> Units <br /> Councilmember Etten echoed Councilmember McGehee's comments previously <br /> heard tonight regarding rental licensing. With this six month review, Coun- <br /> cilmember Etten noted that several of those buildings still appeared to be making <br /> no progress in correction violations since they were last inspected. Councilmem- <br /> ber Etten stated there appeared to be a need for a more effective policy to main- <br /> tain safe housing in Roseville. <br /> Councilmember McGehee stated that, in her earlier discussion with staff involved <br /> in this process, and using several examples, noted that it was up to individual <br /> property owners to comply and advised that the discussion evolved around how to <br /> apply the program for small and large multi-family units. Councilmember McGe- <br /> hee advised that, after having the program in place for three years and the practi- <br /> calities based on field realities, staff would be coming forward with suggested re- <br /> visions for City Council consideration in the near future. <br /> Mayor Roe noted several revisions that had already been made to the ordinance <br /> over the last few months at staff's suggestion and since its inception; expressing <br /> his confidence that more may be forthcoming. <br /> If revisions are made to that ordinance, Councilmember Laliberte asked that radon <br /> testing be a standard implemented for Roseville, citing the higher evidence of <br /> lung cancer as a result of that radon gas. Councilmember Laliberte noted that, es- <br /> pecially in multi-family buildings, tenants may have no idea of the risks they were <br /> being subjected to. <br /> Councilmember McGehee agreed, suggesting that an article be placed in the City <br /> News about information on radon and where to obtain kits at an inexpensive cost; <br /> or perhaps having them available at City Hall. <br /> Willmus moved, Etten seconded, approval of licenses for multi-family rental <br /> dwellings with five or more units, as presented. <br /> Roll Call <br /> Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Etten, McGehee and Roe. <br /> Nays: None. <br /> g.
