Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving the final plat. 7.3 The Council will consider the first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Section 425 regarding rental licensing of state-licensed facilities. Due to recent legislative changes regarding state-licensed assisted-living facilities and the discussion at the April 18 Council work session, staff has prepared the attached ordinance amendment. The proposed amendment would eliminate the current exemption for state- licensed facilities and revert to requiring rental licenses and inspections of such facilities as it did prior to November 2016. Staff recommends adoption of the resolution approving first reading of the attached ordinance amending Crystal City Code to remove the rental license exemption for state-licensed residential facilities. If first reading is approved, the second reading and adoption would be placed on the May 16 Council agenda. Page 3 of 3 8. Announcements a.
