Trustee Schmidt presented the Ordinance for first reading and posting.
Community Development Director John Peterson stated the Village adopted a Crime Free Housing Initiative in 2015 in conjunction with the Residential Rental Housing program to educate landlords on Village Codes and expectations. Landlords can attend a live session or take the on-line training, and must present their training certificate to renew or obtain their rental license. A number of other area municipalities have also implemented similar programs with the training requirement; however, the requirements are inconsistent, and in some instances, have created difficulties for smaller landlords to properly comply. Two areas of the Code will need to be modified to allow the Village to accept our training, or a similar training from an area municipality within a five-year period for an initial or renewal license.
