Analysis
Staff is recommending that Chapter 28 of the Code of Ordinances be amended adding Section 28-2(c) Crime free Multi-Housing (exhibit A); and Section 28-27 (a)(e) (exhibit B). Section 28-2(c) provides for the Crime Free Multi-family Housing Program, as administered by the Grand Prairie Police Department which is required in various sections of the chapter. This section will provide a detailed description of the program and guidance relating to its multiple phases. Additionally, the existing ordinance, Section 28-27 (a) (e), only allows billing of fees after the inspection and tier assessment. However, now that initial tier assessments have been made of all properties, this amendment allows for the billing of established fees to be assessed based on the previous year's rating at the same time annually.
