At its meeting of September 11, 2006, the City Commission authorized the City Attorney to draft and the Clerk of the Commission to advertise an ordinance amending the landlord permit ordinance to require the City to provide an additional written warning to landlords when one point is assessed on a landlord permit. Presently, the code provides for a written warning to be issued after three points are assessed.
The City Attorney has placed this on the October 9th agenda in order for second reading to occur on the October 23rd agenda, in conjunction with the second reading of the amendment to the noise ordinance (Ordinance No. 0-06-75).
This ordinance requires two public hearings. If adopted on first reading, the second and final reading will be held on Monday, October 23, 2006.
