maintain better control over nuisance violations such as trash, litter, illegal parking, as
well as safety violations. Adoption of this resolution would equalize the inspection
cycle for all rental units in Iowa City to the two-year cycle. Please note that the fiscal
impact of the two year cycle would not begin until July 1, 2010 and would not be fully
realized until June, 2013. Correspondence included in Council packet.
