term rental property (over 90 days).
SUBMITTED BY: Mike Borno ~~~,~

BACKGROUND: The Code Enforcement Board has provided several ordinances
from various cities in Florida. It appeazs that an ordinance can be
developed to address the accountability, monitoring and inspection
of rental property. It is a tool that can be used to supplement
existing ordinances of the City of Atlantic Beach. It would also
provide a structure whereby absentee homeowners, investors, etc.,
could be held accountable for the condition of their property (inside
and outside). It would also aid the Code Enforcement Officer,
Police Department, and Building Officials in the performance of
their duties.
Violators of the proposed ordinance could be sent to the Code
Enforcement Board if warranted.
RECOMMENDATION: Task the City Attorney to provide in writing a summary of existing
Florida ordinances that cover one or more of the areas of
regulation, monitoring and inspection of rental property (over 90
days). That a written detailed recommendation be provided on how
the City of Atlantic Beach can develop and pass an ordinance in the
near future. It is requested that the written report be provided at
