Case <br /> <br />REVIEW DRAFT HOUSING MAINTENANCE CODE <br />By: Amy Geisler, Community Development Department <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 2002, the City Council requested that Staff review and update City Code as it relates to <br />the maintenance of housing in the City of Ramsey. The Housing Committee made its first <br />review of the draft code at its February 20, 2003 meeting. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Community Development Director Frolik has drawn up a draft Housing Maintenance <br />Code. The Building Inspectors have reviewed the code and found it to be comprehensive <br />and enforceable. The attached draft also includes an update to the Licensing section of <br />the Code to address licensing of rental housing in the City. The draft code is drawn <br />largely from related code adopted by the City of Coon Rapids, which was found to be <br />very comprehensive. Chair Kiefer has forwarded some suggested changes to staff; his <br />comments are noted in the attached draft (underlined text indicates new text, <br />strikethroughs indicate text to be removed). Changes suggested by staff use the same <br />format but are highlighted in gray. <br /> <br />RHC Action: <br /> <br />The [-lousing Committee should review and discuss the draft code, suggest any needed <br />changes, and make a recommendation to the City Council on its adoption. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />City Administrator <br />Associate Planner <br /> <br />RHC: 4.17.03 <br /> <br /> <br />
