50e.c:rory Dear Mayor Horton:
Soo Ru!!
The Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS" is concerned about
Immodl;;¡to p~$t PNUiidont two proposed items in the budget that is currently under
Mitçh CømptoM consideration. SpecifiCally, the proposed Building Vacancy Fee
E):C:tut¡vo Vic.o Pfc~¡dönt and the proposed Rental Inspection Fee. It is my understanding
M';Hk Q, M:lrchahd these two new fees are proposed to bring in approximately $350,000
in next years budget.
It is hard for me to understand how the city can seriously
consider such fees without first receiving input from the industry
that will be directly affected by the city councils actions. Both
of these fees will have impact on property managers, REALTORS",
and the private property rights of every citizen owning investment
and/or commercial property.
These two new fees will require new or revised ordinances. Why
include the fees when the ordinances are not in place? If the
budget is approved and these fees are included, what chance will
there be of having open debate while the ordinances are being
Gr written?
I stronglY urge you to omit the proposed Rental Inspection Fee and
the proposed Building Vacancy Fee from the budget until the
corresponding ordinances are written, reviewed, and adopted by the
[QUAI. ~OUSING city council. I also stronglY suggest the Association of
OPPORTUNITV REALTORsœ be involved in the development of An.~ proposed ordinance
that would involve the real estate industry and private property
Aft'llbtod w¡th rights.
