(to be provided) Chairman Anderson read the following report into the record: The Housing Committee met on July 22nd with all members present, along with members of the administration and a couple members of the public. The minutes from the committee's previous meeting on May 6th were approved. The committee reviewed and discussed Ordinance 18-19, which requires contractors registered with the City to receive a training or orientation to be provided by the city. This concept is consistent with the landlord training provided by the city over the last several years. More research is needed on this concept and findings will be reviewed at the committee's next meeting on 9/23/19. A request was put in to the Building Department for the number of contractors currently registered with the city. The largest drop in number of registered contractors took place in 2011, 2012, and 2013. In total there has been a drop off in about 400 contractors over the past 7 years. The committee plans on looking into the lists and contacting contractors no longer registered to see what the back story might be for their drop off. Chairman Anderson made a motion, seconded by President O'Leary, to receive and file the report. All members voted in favor. Motion passed. 4.
