Jim Johnston, 628 Fleetrun Avenue; here about concerns for rental code; code is unnecessary and burdensome; no need to register because Franklin County does that already at no cost; Gahanna Code Enforcement can and already does enforce code violations; why not register all houses or all businesses or public buildings; register cars, trucks, maybe bicycles; $100 does not seem heavy but at one time, owned 25 rental properties; do we want Gahanna to appear to be a friendly community; City hired a consulting firm to set a brand; this would be counteractive to the warm place to live; thanked City Council for conducting City business well. Brenda Hoffman, 279 Highmeadow Drive; pro rental registration code; had an issue with a rental property in her neighborhood; had to get homeland security involved; had no one to call in the City before; as for registering in Franklin County, they do not have any means to enforce that; there are rental properties in Franklin County not registered; we need better teeth and a code; we do not want properties sitting empty; will help make other landlords accountable; we need a way to get ahold of owners if something happens; this legislation is not new, we just have not adopted it.
