City Administrator Steve Griffin has said some property management florence accommodation center companies florence accommodation center provide gross receipts for several units or an entire complex at one time without breaking down the list to individual unit owners. He said the city would like an apples to apples comparison to see how individual units stack up to each other to ensure proper reporting.
Following the introduction of the amendment at a July work session, a public hearing was held Aug. 5. Based on feedback from that hearing, Griffin said sections of the proposed ordinance were adjusted and a special public participation meeting is set for Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 8:30 a.m. to further vet the issue.
A point of discussion at the early August florence accommodation center hearing, according to Griffin, focused on the posting of a local contact s personal information in a conspicuous exterior position at the primary entryway to the dwelling unit.
A lot dealt with permit florence accommodation center posting and contacts that should not include names, phone numbers, etc., Griffin said during florence accommodation center this week s work session. And what we ve done is a redraft of the ordinance where we proposed changes in the draft ordinance to state that it include the permit number only and would include the taxpayer ID.
Concerns from condominium project owners raised red flags about posting individual contact information at each dwelling so it was agreed that a common area, such as an onsite management office, could be used in the condo or a multifamily structure with three or more units.
The emergency contact portion of the amendment was created based on concerns by first-responders dealing with situations at rental units and being unable to track down property owners or their associates. The proposed amendment says a local contact must be available at all times and respond within two hours of being notified by an officer or firefighter through telephone and/or email.
If an emergency contact fails to respond within florence accommodation center two hours the business license holder can face fines of $100 to $500 and potentially 30 days in jail. Similar penalties apply for failing to maintain a contact person or properly posting a city-issued rental permit, which according to the new draft ordinance will be coded instead of listing the contact person s name, address, telephone number, and email address.
Basically we re gathering this information florence accommodation center for the use of our city police, fire, public works, florence accommodation center revenue and the building department so if we have them submit that information and that s obtained here in the city (then) we have a database here in the city, Dyken said. For any need that the city has for that information we should be able to access the city database and really cut all the individual property owners out of the loop as far as posting decals.
