Modify rules for collecting residential rental housing fees
In Plain English
The city currently collects fees from landlords who rent out residential properties. This change lets the Rent Board create its own collection rules and late payment penalties instead of the city handling these details. If approved, the Rent Board gains more control over how it collects money from rental property owners.

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to give the Rent Board authority to set its own rules for collecting fees from landlords, rather than having the city handle these administrative details. This change allows the Rent Board to create its own late payment penalties and collection procedures for residential rental property owners. The measure passed with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with only Councilmember Butt dissenting. This is a routine administrative change that shifts bureaucratic responsibilities between city departments rather than creating new fees or significantly altering policy.
