• V. NEW BUSINESS
1. Approve Resolution 2010-059, Increasing the Established Fees for Rental License
Registration Fees and Rental Inspections per City Code Section 407 (CR2010-103)

went into effect in January 2008. Although the current fee schedule is helping defray part of
the program cost, the revised fees will help sustain the program and cover most of the
administrative costs.
The re -inspection fee would be increased as an incentive to move landlords and tenants
towards compliance in a more timely fashion.
Council Member Brausen moved and Council Member Youakim seconded a motion to adopt
Resolution 2010-059, increasing the established fees for Rental License Registration and
Rental Re -Inspections per City Code Section 407. A poll of the vote was as follows: Council
Member Youakim, aye; Council Member Brausen, aye; Council Member Halverson, aye;
Mayor Maxwell, aye. The motion carried unanimously.
