Planning Manager Larson explained that they found some ceiling damage and suspected growths <br />which would be major concerns. He stated things like issues with the water heater and deck boards <br />would be more minor issues. He shared that major issues are issues that require reinspections while <br />minor issues do not. He explained that a form will be left behind at each inspection letting the <br />tenant know what issues had been found. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove suggested having this form be an appendix to the policy. <br /> <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if there is more robust information that is presented to the <br />property owner of the findings. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson explained that the inspector writes up a whole report outlining what <br />things passed and what things failed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson suggested having examples of different kinds of issues and how they are <br />classified for the tenants to reference and be able to understand. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove suggested removing the section around the inspector’s lunch break as <br />they can just schedule around a lunch break and is just an internal item. <br /> <br />Planning Manager Larson explained that when the inspector is inspecting a whole apartment <br />building, the whole day is blocked out for just that building and there have been a few issues with <br />not having a lunch break built into the day. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Council was to move forward with the discussed and proposed changes to <br />the rental housing licensing inspection policy and to table this for further discussion at an <br />upcoming Work Session. <br /> <br />3.
