Mohon #2 All provisians of the 1'PMC adopted as part of the Rosevzlle City Code shall be fully stated as part of the city code, not by reference to the IPMC, The International Praperry Maintenance Code is a licensed "product" of the International Codes Councii, not a publie docuzx�ent. Ta make sure that resid��ts can have full access to our local Iaws, If Roseville decides to adopt provisions of the IMPC, we should write them into our Code, as Shoreview did. Also attached is the Frzdley Residential Rental Properry Maint�nance and Licensing Code, which also adopts �MPC standards directly into ciry ordinance. Motioan #3 Adapt anly Chapters 2-7 of the IMPC, after additianal public hea�ing at the HRA ar council tn revietiv and consider possibte aryeendrrtents to the specz.'fic maintenance standards of t72ose ch�pters. Delete and da not adopi Chapter T(Administration%. Leave existing adYninistration and enforcement ordinances and policies in place. As discussed above, Shoreview has adopted many of the maintenance standards fro�n the IMPC, but not the adrninistration and enforcement pravisions. Hopkins is anoth�r example of this -�-- see Hopkins Property Maintenance Code attached. Hopkins has its own. campliance and enforcement ord'anancea in place of IMPC Chapter 1, and has also deleted or amended a sigr�zficant nunr�ber of t�.e TMPC �aintenax�ce standards in Chapter� 3-7. If Roseville adopts alI af the administ�ation/e�forcement provisions of tihe IMPC, the result will be the creatinn of a new city department of praperry maintenance with broad pa�wers of entry and inspection of aII prop�rty, and greater power to punish violatoars (thraugh prosecution of strict Iiabiliry rnisdemeanors). No evidence or reasons have been presented to show a need or justify this. Wl�y not foeus on upclating and st�engthening maintenance standards first, and review enforcernent mechanisms if necessary afterward? Motion #4 Delete Sectian 101.2 (Scope) and amend it to clarify that the code applies only to exterior maintenance ofowner occupz'ed structures and that inte�ior standards and inspections apply only as to rental licensing requirements. This wouId make the scope of the maintenance eode consistent with staffrecommendations. Motion #5 l�elete Section 104.4 (Right of Entry) Instead, create inspection rights and procedures as part of the rentallicensing code.
