Butler City Council is holding a gathering later this week in order to get feedback about a plan that would establish a Rental Inspection Ordinance and Program within the city.
Councilman Don Shearer has set a stakeholders meeting to discuss the proposal for Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at Butler SUCCEED on North Main Street in Butler.
The program would only trigger a required inspection when a new tenant moves into a property or if the property has been formally identified as a nuisance. The city would incur costs administering the program but those would be paid for using the fees from the inspections.
A working draft of the proposal Shearer is advocating has been posted to the Butler City website with public feedback encouraged. There is no date planned for a Council vote on the proposal at this time but it is expected to take place before the end of the year with an effective date of at least six months after that to allow property owners a chance to address issues.
