ITEM 12. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 14, ENTITLED
"UNIFORM DEVELOPMENT CODE," CHAPTER 5, ENTITLED "BUILDING
AND HOUSING," ARTICLE E, ENTITLED "HOUSING CODE," TO ADD
REGULATIONS FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES WHEREON TWO OR MORE
SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A '12-MONTH PERIOD OF TIME THE
ISSUANCE OF A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, MUNICIPAL INFRACTION, OR A
WRITTEN NOTICE OF VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED. (SECOND
CONSIDERATION)
Comment: The Neighborhood Relations Task Force has recommended
amending the City Code to require increased accountability for landlords and
tenants of "nuisance rental properties". The taskforce recommended that the
City develop a process to identify and address properties that are subject to
numerous or serious complaints, including a method for identifying such
properties, establishing a process to work with the owners of such properties,
and standards for meeting compliance. "Nuisance rental properties" are those
properties that have chronic Code violations, and, therefore, have a negative
impact on the quality of life, safety, and health of the neighborhood where they
are located. The proposed ordinance is intended to eliminate nuisance-related
activities by providing a process for abatement and holding responsible the
property owner, tenants, and/or other relevant parties whose actions are
necessary to correct the problems.

ITEM 13. CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, ENTITLED "CITY

MOTORIZED VEHICLE VIOLATIONS," IN ORDER TO SET SPECIFIC FINES
FOR CERTAIN VIOLATIONS. (PASS AND ADOPT)
Comment: The City Attorney's Office recommends that the City Code be
amended to set specific fines for certain violations. Such an amendment would
allow the District Court to assess the specified fine when a defendant fails to
appear in court, rather than issue an arrest warrant.
