An emergency ordinance to delete
energy consumption disclosure provisions
cont�ined in Ordinance No. 16506 , the
Truth in Sale of Housing Ordinance,
codified as Chapter 54A of the Saint Paul
Legislative Code
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1
This is an emergency ordinance. Ordinance No. 16506
(codified as Chapter 54A of the Saint Paul Legislative Code) was
approved by the Council on February 15, 1979 , signed by the Mayor
on February 16, 1979 , and published in accordance with the require-
m�ents of the Charter on February 24, 1979. Its effective date was
extended by emergency ordinance to May 25, 1979. The ordinance
provides that no one or two family residence may be sold or marketed
in Saint Paul without furnishing the buyer a written evaluation
prepared by a certified evaluator or with a Certificate of Code
Compliance or a copy of the Orders of the Supervisor of Code
Enforcement.
Under Sections 54A.10 (a) (3) and 54A.40 , said disclosure report
is invalid unless it contains documentation of the volume or amount
and cost of energy used for heating and cooling the subject dwelling
for the immediately preceding twelve months, or in the alternative,
a valid Energy Disclosure Report prepared under Section 116H.129 ,
Minnesota Statutes. It has been determined that such consumption
information is not to be made available to a substantial proportion
of owner/sellers of one and two family dwellings, and further, that
the alternative State Energy Disclosure Reports will not be avail-
able for several months. Under said ordinance as presently in effect,

failure to disclose such items prior to sale or marketing is
punishable as a misdemeanor. It is therefore imminent that s
substantial proportion of one and two family dwellings now on
or to be on the market in the City of Saint Paul may not legally
be marketed or sold under the present provisions of said ordinance,
because said energy consumption information will be often �avai.lable.
Based on the above, the Council of the City of Saint Paul
finds and declares that this ordinance is necessary to meet a
public emergency, in that it is intended to solve a sudden and
unforeseen situation affecting the public peace, welfare and
property, and requires immediate Council action.
Section 2
That the following provisions are hereby deleted from said
ordinance No. 16505, and from Chapter 54A of the Saint Paul
Legislative Code :
A. Subsection (a) (3) of Section 54A.10 in its entirety.
B. The following words of Section 54A.40:
The form shall also include necessary space to document
the total amount (in KWH, C.F. , GALS. , or other standard
measure of volume or quantity) and cost of heating and
cooling the subject dwelling for the immediately preceding
12 months; however, in lieu of documentation of cost of
heating and cooling on the Truth in Housing Disclosure
Report required hereby, there may be attached to said
report when provided to the buyer in accordance with this
