The City and Occupancy Manager briefly reviewed the background of the Hosing Ordinance Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance for those citizens who were not in attendance at the previous meetings. He commented as to the housing problem in general and the intent of the code, noting that it was to ensure decent, safe and unitary housing in the City. He noted that the ordinance was based on a model U.S. Public Health Service Code and other municipal codes. He stated that the code had gone through some five revisions and presentations since 1969 before the first reading at the February 24, 1975 meeting. He further commented that during this time the Housing Commission was created with one of their specific functions being to shape and recommend a Housing Mainte- nance and Occupancy Ordinance. He noted that the ordinance had been published in the Brooklyn Center Rost on March 6, 1975 as it was approved for first reading. Mayor Cohen then reviewed the Housing Commission input and noted that there had been ample opportunity for citizens to respond to this ordinance in 'Its initial drafting stages. He stated that; the Hosing Commission held nine meetings for the Purpose of considering the Housing Code. He also noted that in. addition to these nine Commission mraetings they also held a public hearing for the purpose of receiving input and reaction to the code. He then noted that the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance had been publicized by the official newspaper of the City over the past years and more explicitly just recently. He further commented that the City Manager's Newsletter of April, 197 was distributed to every dwelling .nit within the municipality likewise contained extensive information on the Ho _kng Maintenance and Occupancy Ordinance consideration. Mayor Cohen then reviewed the format for the conduct of the meeting. He recommended that any citizens so inclined present proposed a)�anduments or changes and supporting reasons therefor in writing to Housing Comm scion Chairman Lou Howard so that the Hosing Commission may consider them prior to the Jane 1 effective date. He again, reviewed the procedure regarding a second reading of the ordinance, u ggesting that the Co�;ncil adopt the ordinance as published and be prepared to review proposed changes recommended by the Ho u„drug Co` `ssigno Chairman Howard then commented briefly on the procedure at the He sing Commission level. He emphasized that all proposals be sub Atted in writing to him prior to the Housing Ccmmiss.icn meeting, and that those interested citizens who recommended changes attend the meeting so that they may c larify them as necessary to the Commission. Mayor Cohen then recognized Mr. Steve Englert of 3019 63rd Avenue North. Mr. Englert rooted that he was concerned regarding the lack of feedback from citizens to the code. He suggested a two year trial period before considering the code on a permanent basis. He further commented as to Section 12 -804 regarding ceiling height, noting that most basement ceilings would not be categorized as habitable because of this six foot six inch regu ,iirement. He then noted that Section 3 -24 -75 -6- 12 V contained the crd "damaged". He suggested that hr-a ns si milar to danage , and other ous terms be a.o ;" '; th y may be enfcrc Gable.
