I agree with Dick Rehman that the fees on the proposed Chapter 29 and mandatory Crime Free Agreement are too high. The fees are a problem. I DISAGREE that the Landlords of Linn County should be in favor of the rest of this change. A letter presented to the council indicated that the landlords are in favor of the proposed Chapter 29 and mandatory Crime Fee Agreement.
There are still too many issues not resolved for it to go into law. The proposed licensing of landlords can not be cost effective. The same information could be obtained through a registering/licensing of the property not the landlord. The way this proposal is written it is discriminatory against landlords, there are unfair restriction on a trade, and infringment of constitutional rights. This proposal creates an adversarial environment.
If you are against the proposed Chapter 29 and mandatory Crime Free Agreement, attend the Tues 6-22-10 Council Meeting at Hiawatha. Please wear RED to indicate you want this proposal stopped!!!! If you don’t show up they will pass this into law and we are stuck with it along with the high fees.
If you can’t attend you can send an e-mail to the city Clerk with your comments a.olinger@cedar-rapids.org or wandam@cedar-rapids.org. Please title it Against proposed Chapter 29 and Crime Free Agreement
