I i I In February of2000, the Rental Committee was fonned. The Mayor and City· Council established the grorip to evaluate the ordinances, practices and policies surrounding rental housing in the City pf St. Joseph. Bringing together 8 residents with. diverse backgrounds, they noped for a well balanced evaluation that not only took into consideration the nJed for rental housing, but also the need for enforcement and application and rev~ew of the applicable ordinances. Over the past three fUld a half months, the Committee met to discuss the many rental issues affecting ourcommunity. Although we each came to the group with different ideas about what th~ ideal outcomes would be, we reached a general consensus and were willing to set aside Our differences while working on areas where solutions seemed possible. Each is irhportant and should be addressed. The results of our efforts lie in this , report. Thank you for allofing us to be involved. We hope that the time we spent will make a difference , I I i I . I I I I i I , i , I I I , ! I . I , I I , , i . I PROCESS AND RESULTS , The purpose of the rental committee was clearly laid outJor us by the Rental Ordinance: "to study the existing ordinances an~ practices and report to the City Council with recommendations.:' MEETINGS __ The CoJ.,;¡ttee beld its rust meeting on Feb~ 17, 2000 at 7 :OQ PM and bave met continuously every Tuesday from 5:00 -7:00 PM until May 9. ; i OIU)INANCES -c Eaeb!member of tbe committee was providedwitl¡ a copy ofOroinance 55: Housing , Maintenance and Occµpancy ordinance, the Zoning Ordinance, as well as other ordinances relating to rental housing issues.¡ The ComniÍttee fucn,e4 tbe majority ofits efforts on Ordinance 55: Housing¥aintenance andQccupaney: Although the group ¿s a whole agreed with the major aspects of the ordinance, we felt that there were , certain specifics tbati)Ver< missing. The ComniÍttee ad&essid each provision separately and mad, Suggestions for ebanj;es. In r<adingtbe draft of !be prdinance, you will not tI¡~t;n many seetioos tbore. are a number of suggestioþs for changes. In these areas, the group was unable to come to a consensus and agreed to list a num1?er of alternatives. 1 JOB DESCRIPTION i- The Committee also discussed the need for a detailed job description for the Rental Inspector. Although the former Rental Inspector worked for the City for almost ten years, there was never . a fo_l job descri~tion written. Oyer time, this po,ition began to "ke ona number of responsibilities that were not initially part of the position. This description should help clarify that role. CqM~LAlNTPROTOCOL _ On' issuetbat tbe. gronp addressed and re-addressed was tbe need to ~ack complaints thateo,he in ,.garding rental honsing. Iri tbe past,sorileone would call C;tyHall to eompla\" aboot a yarious rental property. Depending on tbe uatnre of tbe complaint, tbe ¡ental inspector woold be ootified of tbe eonjp!áint and respond. The ComniÍttee ,.eommond. that each eomp"int be iogged in ou· a standard form. Th,e complaint would then be directed to the appropriate personnel, depending on the nature of the eomplaint.iThe form would also be used for follow up and tracking oftbe variou, problems w;tb each reotal prpper!Y . When a ¡ental license is up for reoewal, it will tben be easy to ttaek wbat prubloms the property has or has not had over the past twelve months. 1 i ENF(}RCE"E~1' -¡After three montbs of rey;')V, tbe ComniÍtteedetermined tbat tbe area tbat need. tbe most improYeD)e.t is enforcemeut. The c;ty has a .number of usewl ordio;mccs tbatwill help to keep tbe c;ty reutal s;toatlou mauugeable. These ordinances are jru;t uot bdng enforced. The Committee hopes tbot I the Council will \lrge the new police Chief to take an active and serious role in the enforcement of the City ordinances. I RENTAL HOLSI*G LIST-The .committee compiled a list of",rrent landlord., rental prop.rtie' ,udteuunts in St. Joseph. Ai map has also been included which details the areas where the rental properties are located. i i I i , I , i , . i , I . . . . RE OMMENDA 1'IONS HOUSING PLAN· ~- The City should. establish a short and long term housing plan for each zone (particularly the busine~s district) as well as action steps to achieve these goals. This pIan should be shared with th.e community, bo¡ards and commissions, 10cal businesses and the educational institutions in 81. Joseph. i STRICTER ENFORCEM¡¡;NT- The City should establish clear lines of responsibility for complaints and how torespond to them. In *ddition, the ordinances that are already written should be consistently enforced. NEW RENT ALLICENSES - Each new license holder should be. given a complete set of policies at the time the license is issued. This should include: Ordinance 55:< Housing Maintenance and Occupancy, Ordinance 107: Garbage and Refuse Ordinance, Ordinance 102: Regulation of Noise, Ordinance 111: Ordinance Prohibiting ~ublic Nuisances, and Ordinance 52: Zoning Ordinance.. The new license holders should also beprovided a copy of the complaint protocol policy with explanations ôfwho will be called in different situations shoJld complaints be made concerning their property. ¡ HOUSING ORDINANCE ¡L The Housing Maintenance and Occupancy ordinance should be reviewed and changed to reflect the recommended changes from the Rental Committee. i ! ZONING ORDINANCE -1 The Zoning Ordinance lays out clear and defmitive uses for what is permitted and what is not in each zone. It became clear to the Committee, that although the zoning ordinance did not allow for it, many of thb zones were granted rental licenses based on square footage, and not the defmition of "family" or the list ~f"permitted uses." The Committee recommends that the Zoning Ordinance be enforced as written, with square footage only coming into play in the areas it specifically states. The . Committee agreed that Ja special use permit would be. required to obtain a rentallicense in every zone, except R-3. They also ¡agreed that there should be no rental licenses issued in Light Industrial. It was also suggested that in B-1 ahd B-2, that a single family dwelling be listed as a permitted use, but that a special use permit must be obt~ined for the license to be granted. i I SUNSET THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE AND/OR ENCOURAGE LANDOWNERS To OPERATE LICENSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEHOUSING PLAN - . The City Council should discuss whether or not they are willing to impose a sunset on the grandfather clause provision. , This would require some of the older, long , standing rentallicense~ in the City to conform with the currentdefmitions and occupancy limits in the ordinance. The City Attorney stated that although there isno specific authority permitting or prohibiting this, it willlikely invit~ litigation. The City Council should weigh the cost of potential litigation with the possibility of being ab~e to decrease the number of tenants in some of the older rental housing stock. , , In.the alternative, the Çity Council should work with the owners/landlords. to bring the rental properties in line with the Housing ~lan. The Council should also. work with the landlords toward the goal of creating zones for.family friendly affordable housing that won't be swallowed up by student rental. I IMPOSE THE HIGHEST CIVIL PENALTY - The City Council has the authority to impose a civil penalty up to $1,000. However,thid maximum amount has yet to be imposed. The Committee recommends that the City Council send a strong message to violators and impose the maximum penalty allowed by law. I CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS -The Committee recommends that the City Council follow the lead of 51. Cloud and Waite Park, who now provide criminal background investigations on prospective tenants of n;:ntal property upon rçquest of the owner or manager of the rental property. i ! .

Rental Housing Ordinance Committee Notes - 2/22/00 Members present: Al Rassier, Steve Hagman, Hub Klein, Dan Schmitz, Noreen Loso, Mary Hiltner, Jim Hardwick, . Doris Johnson and Cåri Schmidt. The group decided at the last meeting to read through the Ordinance and mark any changes they would like to make or problems that they see. After the entire ordinance has been discussed the group will go back and discuss the a.reas they have highlighted at length. Jim Hardwick pointed out that in 55.2 Applicability of Ordinance, Subd. 1 c. "The Director of Safety and Security" should actually be just the "Director of Security." Also Subd. 1 g. "Faculty Residence" should be changed to "Residence Directors." There was also some discussion about 55.2 Subd. 2e. "Fire extinguishers installed in convenient locations and inspected monthly" and whether or not this was too stringent. It was decided that as this pertains to St. Bens and is probably required by Fire Code that the group would just leave it as is. 55.3 Defmitions, Subd. 11. Heated Water requires that the water be heated to a temperature of not less than 120 degrees. It was suggested that perhaps a range of degrees should be used, for instance, 110-130. The group decided that changing this section might be more problem than its worth (e.g. some people like their water wanner, cooler etc.) The group also decided that a defmition of "family" should also be included in the defmition section. Cari agreed to collect some defmitions of "family" from other conununities, and bring them to an upcoming meeting. Section 55.4 Responsibilities of Owners and Occupants, Subd. 3 Maintenance of Occupied Areas states: "Every occupant of a dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit shall maintain in a clean and sanitary condition that part or those parts of the dwelling, dwelling unit an premises thereof that he occupies and controls." The group discussed that the language "health, safety and fIre hazards" should be added to the section in relation to the "clean and . sanitary conditions." Section 55.4 Subd. 6. Responsibility for Storage and Disposal of Garbage- The group decided that this section should also include the language of Ordinance 107 that refers to large items to be picked up. The concern is that garbage is being strewn onto lawns and not kept in the containers. In addition, when the students move out in the Spring, they leave their couches and garbage furniture out for weeks ahead of time (sometimes long after the pick up day has passed.) The suggestion was made that to alleviate this maybe one of the clean up days should be moved. Subd. 15. Minimum Exterior Lighting was also discussed. Steve Hagman indicated that all that is really necessary is a porch light on the property. Subd. 16. Maintenance of Driving and Parking Areas states "The owner of a multiple dwelling or dwellings shall be responsible for providing and maintaining in good condition parking areas and driveways for tenants consistent with the Zoning Ordinance. " The group agreed that this subdivision should also have language from Ordinance 52 included regarding parking. It was suggested that a requirement be made for one space per each licensed individual and that the width of each space be specifIed (9'xl7') Section 55.6 Minimum Standards for Light and Ventilation, Subd. 2, Nonhabitable Room Ventilation. It was suggested that there must be an exhaust fan and not just a window specifIed in this section. Section 55.8 General Requirements, Subd. 1 Foundations, Exterior Walls and Roofs states "lf25% or more of the exterior of the painting of any brick, block or stone wall is loose or has fallen out, the surface shall be repaired." AI reported that this is really hard to enforce. He suggested that the percentage be lower (15%) so that it is easier to Justify when there is an offense. . · i Subd. 31F100rs Interior Walls andCeilin s. The question was raised whether or not there were industry standards . for repa ting and replacement of carpet and linoleum. The concern is that the apartments for many of the students is comp etely uninhabitable. : Subd. 1 . Yard Cover. The group discussed some of the problems with this section. Al stated that this is an : enforc1'eot issue. How do wdeep people from parking on the grass. The suggesrion was al,o made that the week! ordinan· e language was includ~d in this section. . Section 55.9 Maximum DensitY, Minimum Space, use and location Requirements: Subd. 1 Permissible Occupancy of Dwe~ling Unit There was cqnsiderable discussion surrounding this section. At this time, one bedroom for two people ~as to be. 70 square feet i If more than two people occupy the room, the room must increase at the rate of 80 . sq. ft for each person over two.! Al suggested that the sentence "Where more than two persons occupy a room used for sleePing purposes the required floor area shall be increased at the rate· of 80 sq. feet for each occupant in excess of two'~be ,trick.. altogether. )n the alternariye, aoother oumber should be added that makes more seuse (e.g. 2 people 70 sq. ft., 3 people 150 ~q. ft)The group agreed that this item should be discussed at length at another meetin. ! i Subd. 2 Minimum Ceilin Rei: ht The comment was made that this is also an enforcement issue.. Section 55.10 Fire Protection. The group agreed that occupancy limits should be included in this section. ¡ Section 55.11 Licensing of Rental Units. Subd. 1 Registration (d) requires that the "owner may designate any person residin in either Stearns, Benton or Sherburne County as his agent." There was some discussion about limiting the owner r designee to someone ~ithin a 25-30 mile radius or even in St Joseph. The concern is response time. The suggest on was also made that .~ statement is added that they must be able to respond within a "reasonable time." Thore rs some d;scuss;on aboUt whether or not the ownor or des;goee ;s requrred to rcspoud at all Ù1 the ordÙ1anee, thereby making this a moot po~t · ! Adjourln - The committee adjohrned at 7:00 PM and agreed to fmish going through the ordinance at the next meeting on the 29th. i I · ,.. I , . Rental Housing Ordinance Committee Notes - 2/29/00 Members present: Al Rassier, Steve Hagman, Hub Klein, Dan Schmitz, Noreen Loso, Mary Hiltner, Jim Hardwick, . Doris Johnson The Committee reviewed the minutes from the previous meeting. Subd. 55.2 Applicability of Ordinance, Subd 1.6 should be changed to Residence Directors and Residential assistants." The committee discussed that a log should be kept at City hall regarding complaints and repairsnèeded at residential properties. This log can be used by the Council and the rental inspector when a license is up for renewal. There should also be a procedure whereby people can file complaints through City hall about different rental properties. The Complaints will be compiled and recorded in the log as well. The committee discussed. whether or not the residents on the lease can be held responsible for what happens on the property, instead of the landlord. Al Rassier reported that he drove around on Friday morning 3/2/00 fi:om 6:30-7:00 and counted 48 cars on the south side and north side from 9th avenue to college avenue all parked on grass. Ten of these were fi:om rèntals (6 at one place) and the rest were private owners. (In addition, five rentals had more cars parked there than residents that are licensed to live there.) Somehow this should also be addressed in the ordinance. The Committee decided that the Police should also review the ordinance to see if there are areas that the committee missed where enforcement is a problem. The attorney should also review the ordinance and suggest changes. The Attorney should also be presented with a final copy for review. The Committee requested that for the next meeting that the group review a number of ordinances: Disorderly House, Rubbish, Weed and Brush Control, the Noise Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance. There may be provisions that pertain to rental housing contained within that should be discussed. . It was suggested that at the next meeting, the group separate into smaller groups to discuss the provisions that have been pulled out as problematic or those which need changes. Adjourn: The committee adjourned at 7:00 PM . ~ 11 Rep.tal Housing Ordinance Committee Notes - 3/7/00 I .

TheCoiittee came up wîth a Jumber of issues forJohnScherer, the City Attorney: [. Can Civil penalties ¡be raised for violations (disorderly house, trash ordinance, etc.)?' 12. Can we delete the grandfather provision for the rental houses? Can we sunset the policy? B. 52.4 Subd. 22 (b) of theCode-can the grandfather clause be transferable to a new owner?

The Co . ,'ttee discussed Ordîmmce 107 Garbage and Refuse Ordinance and in particular 107.4b Furniture and Mattresses. This provision reads ,"when the item was brought outside for use with the intent of returning the item to a locati0r- not in violation of this I ordinance as. soon as the use is complete." This provision results in problems as anyone can say that they were going to move the item. This provision results in sofasbeing left on front lawns and should btremoved from the Ordinance. , , i . .

'ttee would also like Ordinances 107 Garbage and Refuse Ordinance. 106 Weed and Brush Control. 102 ReQularinofNo;se and III û,dmance Proh;birinQ Public Nuisances sent out with new rental licenses (at least one to each I ndlord-not one for eYFry property). . The CODfIllittee discussed Ordinance 55.6 Housing, Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance. Minimum Standards for LÌ!zht and Ventilation. Subd.'2 Nonhabitable Room Ventilation, in that every water closet and bathroom have a ventilatifn system.. The section currently reads "Every bathroom and water closet compartment and every laundry and utiliP.' room shall contain at least50% of the ventilation requirement for habitable rooms contained in Section 55.6.1, 9~cept that no windows ~hal1 be required if such rooms are equipped with a ventilation system which is approved by the Compliance Official." The coLttee discussed the dJfmition of "family" and 52.4 Zoning Ordinance, Rules and Definitions. Subd. 22 Familv, A. The current definition reads "A family is any number of persons living together in a room or rooms compris d of a single housekeeping unit and related by blood, marriage, adoption or any unrelated person who resides t ereinas thoughamemper of the family. Any group of three persons not so related but inhabiting a single house 5 all, forthe purposes of this Ordinance, be considered to constitute one family." Adjourn -The committee adjorlrned at 7 :00 PM and agreed to finish going through the zoning ordinance atthe next meetîng on the 14th. . . ! 1 , I I ¡ ¡ , I . ...,\ Rental Housing Ordinance Committee Notes - 3/14/00 i Members present: Al Rassier, Steve Hagman, Hub Klein, Dan Schmitz, Noreen Loso, Mary Hiltner, Jim Hardwick, . Doris Johnson Others Present: Mike Deutz, George and Linda Sniezek, Mr. Schneider, Kyle Schneider Al Rassier opened the meeting by reading the statement on the agenda regarding public discussion and comments. It states: "These meetings are open to the public and the Committee welcomes your input and comments. We are designating the fIrst half hour of every meeting for public input and ideas. You are welcome to stay for the remainder of the meeting, however, from 5:30-7:00 the Committee must focus on the agenda items and the task given to them by the City Council in the Special Interim Ordinance." George Sniezek stated that they now have an empty house that they need to rent due to the illness of their father. The Committee explained that the moratorium is in effect until September which will not permit any new rental licenses. However, this Committee would not be the body that would make a decision on whether or not to make an exception to the rental moratorium. That would be an issue for the Council to decide. Linda Sniezek explained that they can't sell the house because her father has Alzheimer's disease. Linda stated that this should be an exception that the Council would consider. Schmidt explained that the Sniezeks should draft a letter that could go to the City Council in the next Council Packet. They could be placed on the April 6th agenda or could just come and address the Council during the time for public comments. Minutes - The Committee reviewed the minutes from the previous two meetings. The Committee stated that at the meeting on March 7th, the group also discussed the fact that there is no job description for the rental inspector. Schmidt stated that she would gather job descriptions of rental inspectors from other communities for the group to reVIew. Mike Deutz asked if the landlords could use the rental inspector as a resource for verification of what is in place in . their apartments. He also uses videotapes to show the condition of the units before the tenants move in, but to have the cooperation and collaboration of the Rental Inspector would be very benefIcial too. It was also suggested that Deutz use a checklist that the students sign stating what is in place in the apartments when the students move in. This would be one added measure of protection. On the 3/7 minutes, the Committee also added that the change to 55.6 is that the ventilation system must be vented to the exterior of the house. The defInition of family in 52.4 should be changed by placing the word "or" between "family" and "any group." The Committee clarifIed the minutes of 2/29 in that the uniform fIre code would be in effect to limit the number of people in a basement without a separate exit. This is another enforcement issue for the police. Zoninl! Ordinance - Mary Hiltner reviewed the entire Zoning Ordinance and marked some areas for review. Subd. 22: Familv (pg 102) - The defInition offamily is provided. This should be the same defmition that is provided in other areas of the ordinance. It was suggested too, that the grandfather clause language be cleaned up in the ordinance. It was again suggested that the attorney be asked for clarifIcation on whether a new owner is considered a "lapse" in terms of the license that would warrant the reversion to the previous usage before the grandfather clause. The other question for the attorney is whether there can be a sunset on the grandfather clause whereby the apartments in those areas much comply with the current zoning and tenant restrictions. Subd 34: Lodging House Dormitories. Fraternities and Sorority Houses. There was some question as to what constitutes a "lodging house" and whether or not this includes the apartments we are discussing. The Committee su ggested that this section be further .clarifIed. Section 52.14 General Requirements: (pg. 122) This section sets the space requirements for parking as 9x18. Again, this should be for anyone in the City. It was revised in July oflast year. This is an enforcement ìssue again. . Currently, for fIve residents, there should be 3.5 parking stalls. It was suggested by the Committee that there ( , , \ . I '\ shouldb1e one parking stall for e~eryresident. Anyone that doesn't have the space to do it would have to apply for a . special se permit. I Subd. 1 . General Fencin Screenin Landsca in and Stora e. This section sets out the greenspace requirements for lots ÍJn that it states that all other area remaining after providing for parking and driveways should be kept for greenspJce. The Committee agr~ed again that this is an enforcement issue as many people park their cars on their I ' . . . grass, ¡ Secrion62.17 R.-t Single F aim1JResldence IJ~triet.

Schnùdrstated that for the next meeting that she would bring the number of rental units in each district to the meeting!. The group can then 106k at the different areas and decide if their recommendation should be to not allow anymo~e rental units in specificjzones. The Committee may also suggest that a certain area be changed. The Commi~ee discussed Ash Street'. This area is currently zoned R-l but it is made up of almost entirely rental housing I. Perhaps the zoning claissification of this area should be changed to more accurately r~flect the nature of the street. ~t was suggested that what St. Joseph really has is spot zoning. Mike Dbutz asked for' clarificatitn as to what the Committee would be recommending to the CounciL The Commiree agreed and explaine~that they would be offering as many options to. the Council as they could come up with and would also be making recommendations to them. . The cokuttee decided that forjthe next meeting they would look at the number of renters in each area and determipe what the policy and practice should be for those different zones. . The group agreed that the current ordin. an~.ces dO. not accurately ref1',ec t th.e. pol ic I." e'S and,p. ra cticesthat have been used in the pa. st to issue rental h'c enses. This pr' blem is the main reason, why the Committee was formed. ,The Committee agreed that they should make individ ' al recommendations fori each zone in terms of number of rental licenses issued, percentages allowed, and "_ -", ,'," ,', " ' -I ' .'-'".;.' requirements and procedures to get a rental license (special use permit? Rental inspector? Planning Commission?) AIRas~ier also requested that aJ an upcoming meeting that the group receive a copy of the rental ordinance and the other 0ldinances with the suggered changes included within (strikethrough copy).

Others Present: Mike Deutz and Dale Schneider. Minutes: Schmidt stated that she had spoken with Linda Sniezek about the minutes from the previous meeting. The living will is her father's which keeps them from being able to sell the house. It is her mother thai is currently ill. Schmidt stated that she would make these changes in the minutes. The Committee reviewed the list of rental1ìcenses and Al Rassier made some corrections. The Committee prQceeded to discuss each zoning district and their recommendations for changes in each area. R-l: The committee pointed out that one of stated intents ofR-l was to "avoid overcrowding". Currently R-l allows for "single family dwellings." There was discussion about whether or not the Ordinance should state specifically that a special use permit is required to make an entire house a licensed rental dwelling. There was also discussion about whether this should be merely for non owner occupied rentals. R-2: The committee had no suggestions for changes to R-2. R-3: The committee had a question as to why multiple family dwellings were limited to 12 people. The committee also discussed that the total number of unrelated people in such dwellings should be 36. R-M: The committee reviewed the R-M Mobile Home Residence District. The committee suggested that another permitted use that be added would be "licensed rental units."

Schmidt agreed to bring some information to the, next meeting on thIS trPIC. i The Corpmïttee fmished readinJ through the zoning ordinance. They discussedthedifferences and impact between requirinp owner occupied licens'es or not. Itwas suggested that the Committee recommend no new rental licenses in R-l wit'ou~ a special use permit and going through the Planning Commission and City CounciL The Co~ttee also discussed *hether or not the license should run with the property or with the address. If possible, they would like the license to run with the licensee and not the address so that if the property is sold, a new license ",as to be issued to the n?, w owner. Noree, n ex, pressed concern for the renters that might fa, 11 prey to a landlor9that decides to sell the property in the middle of their lease arrangement. The Committee agreed,that the license rouldbe good for 365 ciays from issuance so that a new owner would be able to keep the tenants there until the end rf the license, period.] The Committee discussed the past practice of basing rental licenses in B-1, R-3 and B-2 on square footage. They ,agreed that the ordinance,does ~ot, al,lowfor this practic, e. In these three areas the ordinance only allows for a rental . unit if J special use permit is issued and then it is still limited to the defInition of family. There was concern , express d as to what criteria/re~sons the Planning Commission could use/would use to allow or deny a special use permit. There was also discussion as to whether there should be a limit on the number of apartment units that are ~rtache to businesses. The ord'inance bases the number of units allowed on the % of space in relation to the % of , busines . i i i Schmid stated that she would bring some information on the guidelines Planning Commissions use to acceptor deny a pecial use permit to thelnext meeting. ! I In Ligh Industrial, the Committee decided to recommend that there be no residentialuses allowed and norental licen;es issued. After reviewibg all. of the areas of the zoning ordinance, the Committee came to the conclusion that as ecial use permit be req~ired to obtain a rental license in every zone except R-3. Thequ1stion was raised as to ~hether in B-1 a single family home could continue as such if the house is, sold, as long a S.[~,e use do~sn'tcha,nge.an,!',d then try torevertbac,k to sin glefa ffil 'ly.Ifit's always be, en single family, can it remam mgle faffilly? ' i 1 It was s ggested that in B-Ian4 B-2 that single family dwellings be a permitted use with a special use permit. Ì\.1ike Deutz efPressed some concern With requiring a special use permit for a rental license in B-1 and B-2 as he argued, that rental housing is a business and should bea permitted use. Com IJm Procedure~ The coLttee discussed the protocol andprocedureJor taking compl~ints about rental propert es. Who should be giv¢n the complaints and who should respond to, them? In the past, Al Rassier, the former ental inspectorperfornied many of the enforcement duties. If someone complained about a couch on a lawn, lJLwould respond to the complaint. Steve Hagman, the new rental inspector works out ofSt. Cloud and it won't be as easy for him to spo~ these things. There was some discussion as to who should respond to what type of . comPlatnts. It was agreed that tf a tenant calls in and reports that their furnace is broken and they can't get a response from the landlord, that the Rental Inspector, should be called. However, if a resident calls in and complains, I ' í , j I , : . , that a couch is on a lawn, for example, this is a situation where. the Police should be called. to enforce the ordinance. The Committee also agreed that the complaints should be logged in and followed up on. Whoever responds to the complaint, should call the office back and report the outcome so that it can be logged in. The group agreed to think . of some examples of issues or complaints and address who/how they should be responded to. This would be an issue for the next meeting. Mike Deutz expressed some concern that as a landlord, he can maintain the buildings and the land, but he cannot be responsible for the tenant's person,alities. The students have to be held responsible for their actions. Everything cannot fall on the head of the landlord. The Committee also agreed to review the inspector job descriptions that were handed out and come up with provisions they believe should be included/excluded in the Rental Inspector's job description. This will be discussed at the next meeting as well. Adjourn - The Committee adjourned at 7:00 PM. . . , Notes rm Rental meétirjg: Apñl4th .. .

The registration shall be m.ade by the owner if such ,wner is a natural person; ifthe owner is a corporation, by an officer thereof; if the owner is a partnrship, by one of the partners; and if the owner is an unincorporated association, by the manager or . mana ing officer thereof. R~newal of registrations as required annually by this Ordinance may be made , I , 14 by filling out the required renewal fonn provided by the Compliance Official to the owner of rental . property and mailing said fonn together with the required registration fee to the Compliance Official. Subd. 3: Annual Registrations. Commencing with the year 1982, the registration of all rental dwellings registered for the previous year shall be renewed not later than the first day of August of each year. Subd. 4: Transfers. Every new owner of a rental property, (whether as fee owner, contract purchaser, lessee of the entire dwelling, or otherwise) shall register before taking possession. Subd.5: Registration License Fee. Aregistration fee, as may be established by resolution of the City Council, shall be due on the first day of August of each year. A delinquency penalty of 4% ofthe license fee for each day of operation without a valid license shall be charged to operators of rental dwellings. Once issued a license is nontransferable and the licensee shall not be entitled to a refund on any license fee upon revocation or suspension; however, the licensee shall be entitled to a license fee refund pro-rated monthly, upon proof of transfer of legal control of ownership. In the case of new unlicensed dwellings, license fees shall be due upon the issuance of the certificate of occupancy; in the cases oflicensing periods ofless than one year, license fees shall be pro-rated by month. Subd. 6: Inspection Condition. No operating license shall be issued or renewed unless the owner of rental units agrees in his application to pennit inspections pursuant to this Ordinance. Subd. 7: Posting of License. Every licensee of a multiple dwelling shall cause to be . conspicuously posted in the main entry way or other conspicuous location therein the current license for the respective multiple dwelling. Subd. 8: License Not Transferable. No operating license shall be .transferable to another person or to another rental dwelling. Every person holding an operating license shall give notice in writing tothe Compliance Official within 72 hours after having legally transferred or otherwise disposed of the legal control of any licensed rental dwelling.. Such notice shall include the name and address of the person succeeding to the ownership or control of such rental dwelling or dwellings. (The Committee had lengthy discussions regarding whether the license should run with the property or run with the owner. If the license runs. with the property, the license would be transferable to a new owner automatically. If the license runs with the own~r, itwouldnot have to be transferable and would expire upon the sale of the property to a new owner. The Committee recommends that the license to run with the owner. Theresult of this would be that anytime a rental is sold to a new owner, the Council has the chance to review whether a license is appropriate or if there are concerns that should be addressed. There are legal issues surrounding this issue. Please refer to City Attorney John Scherer's letter.) Subd. 9: OccupancvRegister Required. Every owner of a licensed rental dwelling containing three or more dwelling lHlits shall keep, or cause to be kept, a current register of occupancyforeach dwelling unit which provides the following infonnation: a) Dwelling unit address; b) Number of bedrooms in dwelling unit; 15 . .' .. c) Names ofadplt occupants and number of adults and children (under 18 years of age) currently oC9upying the dwelling units; I d) Dates rented occupied and. V.acated dwelling units; . ! .. ... . e) Achronologtcallist of cOrn plaints and requ~~!s for repair by dwelling unit occupants, which comp~aints and. requests are related to the provisions of this Ordinance; and i f) A similarchtonologicallist of all corrections made in response to such requests and I. i comp amts. !

Every operating license issued under the provisions of this Ordin~nce is subject to suspension or revocation by the City Council should the licensed owner or his duly a. ?:thorized resident age~.i t fail to operate or maintain the licensed rental dwelling and. units therein in complence with the provisions of the Ordinances of the City ofSt. Joseph and the laws of the State of Minnesota. In the event that an operating license is suspended or revoked by the City Council for just cause, it shall be unlawful for the owner or the duly authorized agent to thereafter permit any new occup ncies of vacant ortheteafter vacated rental units until such time as an operating license may be restor d by the City Council: 1 , , When a rentallicensb is revoked or suspended, the property shall be vacated as of the effective .. date of the revocation or suspension.and remain vacated until restoration of the license. In the case of a suspe~sion, restoration shall :occur automatically at the end of the suspension period. In the case of revoc~tion, restoration. of the liçense shall occur only after the owner of the premises has made appli~rtion for a new license, and paid a new application fee. The new license may then be issued upon completion ofthe revocation period. ¡ No suspension or re\rocation of a reÍ1tallicense shall occur until the licensed owner has been i afforded an opportunity for ~ hearing to be conducted pursuantto Sections 14.57 to 14.70 of the Minn1sota Statutes. This he~ring shall be evidentiary in nature and conducted before the St. Joseph City Coun il which shall determine whether an ordinance or statutory violation did occur warranting revoc tion or suspension of the rental license. The determination of the City Council shall be final and subje t only to any rights ofireview or appeal to the state courts as provided by statute. The licensed owne must affirmatively request an evidentiary hearing by writing to be received by the City Clerk no later t an seven days prior t9. the date on which the Council is to consider the violations. If request is not made, the right to an evidentiary hearing is deemed waived and the City Council may presume the truth and a ,curacy of the violatio~sallegedand proceed to disposition at the time of the hearing. Where the City Council determines that an Ordinance or statutory violation has occurred warrapting suspensionor reyocation, the rental license shall.be suspended or revoked for a period of not less tryan two.months nor more than 12months. Execution of the suspension or revocation may be stayed by. the Council on such reasbnable conditions as established by the Council, including but not limited to, the p yment of a civil penalty not to exceed $l,OOQ.OO. Upon the completion of one-half of the period of revoc tion or suspension imposed by the City Council, the licensed owner may petition the City Council for ea ly restoration of the rçntallicense. Upon receipt of the petition,the licensed owner's request shall . be he rd by the City Councir at the next regular scheduled meeting, (but at least 7 days from receipt of the 16 i I ! i ! ¡ request). At that time, the City Council may order a restoration of the rental license if the licensed owner . establishes by clear and convincing evidence that one of the following two circumstances then exist: 1) The property has been sold since the occurrence of the original violation to a party unrelated to the original owner. The sale must be for a fair consideration, negotiated at arm's length, and by Deed duly filed for record at the office of the County Recorder. A sham or "paper" transfer of title to the property to a related party or another party acting in cooperation with the owner for the purpose of circumventing the license revocation shall not constitute a transfer for purposes of this Ordinance. 2) The licensed owner demonstrates to the City Council that he has properly responded to the revocation or suspension, that measures have been taken to successfully correct the violation which originally resulted in suspension or revocation, and that additional steps have been taken to assure that similar violations not occur in the future. Factors to be considered by the Council, may include: improvements and repairs to the premises, modification of the relevant lease provisions, selection of future tenants, response to citizen's complaints, provision for future supervision of the premises by the licensed owner, the licensed owner's compliance with the revocation/suspension, and such other criteria as the Council considers relevant to each individual case. Where the licensed owner is able to establish by clear and convincing evidence grounds for restoration, the Council may stay the execution of the remainder of the suspension or revocation period for a period of up to one year and place reasonable terms and conditions upon the licensed owner as may be relevant to further insure compliance with the Ordinances of the City ofSt. Joseph and laws of the State of Minnesota. . Section 55.12: ENFORCEMENT AND INSPECTION AUTHORITY.
