DISCUSSION REGARDING POTENTIAL PROACTIVE ENFORCEMENT TO IDENTIFY BUSINESSES OPERATING WITHOUT A VALID CITY BTR WITHOUT WAITING FOR A RESIDENT COMPLAINT


HISTORY:

At the January 31, 2024 Commission meeting, the Discussion Regarding Potential Proactive Enforcement To Identify Businesses Operating Without A Valid City BTR Without Waiting For A Resident Complaint was referred to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee (PSNQLC).
