W. Jordan may adopt Good Landlord Program
The city has agreed to pay Wikstrom Economic & Planning Consultant, Inc. a total of $17,000 for two initial studies about the program. The studies will look at whether businesses such as apartment buildings require more police and emergency services than single-family rentals. Using dispatch and land records, they hope to achieve findings at a 95 percent confidence level.
The studies will also determine whether the city spends different amounts on other kinds of businesses and will recommend a new business license fee schedule, according to a staff report on the issue. The studies could be finished within about five months but implementation of results may have to wait on changes to Utah code that could be construed as banning disproportionate fees.
Those changes are likely in the 2009 session, according to a report by the Lewis, Young, Robertson and Burningham firm.
