RE: Explanation of a Proposed. Amendment to
Ordinance No. 15393 Adopted June 26, I973
The Office of Consumer Affairs is recommending passage of
the attached amendment to the above-mentioned ordinance.
The City Council, on June 26, 1973, passed an ordinance
which required that firms who supply utility service to
St. Paul citizens be required to post a notice of intent
to discontinue service on all multiple dwelling resi-
dential property where the landlord is respansible but
has not paid the bill.
At a recent meeting involving this office, Northern States
Power Company, the Health Department, and the Building
Department, it was determined that some measures be taken
to assure �hat the notices, when posted, would not be �
removed or defac�d. �he Building Department advised
that it was not uncommon for building owners to remove
notices of uninhabitab.le premises when posted. At that`
naseta,ng it was recommended that this offiee prepare and
present to the Council ari amendment which would make it
a criminal violation to remove or deface the notice of
discontinuance.
Please note tYiat the amendment also requires that the
notice itself contain a statement whi.ch will advise patential
violators of the potential criminal penalties.
