DISCUSSION ITEM
LANDLORDS SEMINAR SPONSORED BY THE CITIES OF BROOKLYN CENT
BROOKLYN PARK, CRYSTAL, NEW HOPE AND ROBINSDALE
The City Manager indicated a seminar has been scheduled on April 11, 1992, for landlords
by the cities of Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, New Hope and Robbinsdale. This
seminar, conducted by staff members from all cities, is part of the continuing effort to
educate landlords and improve their knowledge on how to manage their properties.
Commissioner Scott reported she had several calls from landlords in Brooklyn Center who
own smaller properties and are complimentary of the help provided by staff and the
Planning Department. These landlords have indicated they are anxiously awaiting this
seminar because they do not know where to turn if involved in a legal process.
Commissioner Scott felt these workshops, with their nominal fee, would be very well
attended.
In response to Commissioner Scott's question, Mr. Bublitz explained this seminar targets the
smaller landlord who will receive direct notification using license information.
