Initiating Problem, issues, Opportunity �Aiho, What, When; Where, Why):
Currenfly this is a"shall issue" ordinance. In other words, if a property owner has their rental registration certificate revoked, the '
current ordinance would require a new certificate to be issued simply upon tendering the requued regisuation fee. The proposed '
change would allow the City Council's decision to revoke a regisharion to remain in place unril the conditions leading to the revocation '
are correct.
� Advantanes if Approved:

None.

Disadvar�ges If Not Approved:
An unitended loophole in the Ciry's rental registration revocarion process will remam imaddressed.
