Committee of the WholeAgenda Memorandum Item # CA-1

To: Mayor & City Council

From: Ben Benson, City Administrator

Subject: Consideration of Pro Champs Software - Foreclosure/Vacant PropertyRegistration Program

Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORYProactive property registration of vacant, abandoned, and foreclosed properties assists localgovernments in identifying and monitoring these properties from a security and public safetystandpoint, thus reducing the opportunity for fire, theft, vandalism and unauthorized occupation.The City also receives a number of complaints each year on blighted properties that areabandoned and often times, City staff, Code Enforcement Officer, and police struggle to findappropriate contacts for ownership and code compliance.

Currently the City of Lockport has over 100 active foreclosures and another 100 vacantproperties. Proactive registration in other communities has shown to be an effective tool inlowering crime rates in areas dealing with neighborhood blight triggered by growing numbers ofproperties that fall into disrepair. Early registration helps ensure that minimal standards ofproperty maintenance are met. Maintenance issues left unchecked contribute to rapiddeterioration of these properties, making it more difficult and costlier to return them to viableuse and occupation. Revenue from the program could be earmarked to support other programsor used to bring these properties into viable marketability.

There is no cost to the City of Lockport, however a registration fee for the property ownersneeds to be established. If City staff is given the direction to proceed, City Attorney would haveto review and negotiate the terms of the Agreement with Pro Champs and draft an ordinancethat would be adopted by the City Council setting forth the registration requirement, theparameters of the registration requirement, and the registration and inspection fees. AlthoughPro Champs does not charge the community for its services, it does receive a percentage of theregistration and inspection fees collected from the property owners.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVES3

The services provided by Pro Champs to identify and send out notices for these properties to beregistered along with the ordinance requiring the registration will add to the available tools forthe City to address the problems associated with these properties. Although Pro Champsprovides the services without cost to the City, the ultimate enforcement of property owners whoeither by negligence or with blatant contempt fail to comply with the registration ordinance, lieswith the City's Code Enforcement Officer.

RECOMMENDATIONA proactive approach encourages and emphasizes the long-term benefits of early registrationeven before properties become vacant, abandoned or during initial stages of foreclosure. Knowing the size and scope of a problem better enables communities and local governments todevelop cost-effective and time-sensitive responses to the problem. Pro Champs Software willallow City staff to monitor and react when needed for blighted properties.

Committee of the WholeAgenda Memorandum Item # CA-2

To: Mayor & City Council

From: Donna Tadey, Deputy City Clerk

Subject: Approve Re-appointments and New Appointment to the International CodeCouncil Board of Appeals

Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2020

BACKGROUND/HISTORYThrough the adoption of the International Codes including amendments to the InternationalBuilding Code, most currently the 2015 International Building, the International Code CouncilBoard of Appeals is authorized to hear appeals of decisions of the Building Official or theirdesignee. The appeal is limited to a claim relative to the application and interpretation of theCode. The ICC Board is made up of 5 voting members appointed by the Mayor and approved bythe City Council, with 3 members who serve as citizens at large; 1 member who is a buildingcontractor or have building experience; and 1 member from the Lockport business community.Additionally there are 2 ex-officio non-voting members from the City Council and two alternatevoting members who are called by the Board Chairman to hear appeals during the absence ordisqualification of a member or members. The full term of a voting member is three years andfor ex-officio non-voting City Council member, the term coincides with the duration of his or heroffice on the City Council. The 5 voting members on the ICC Board are to have staggering termsat the ratio of 2:2:1, so for example, two members' terms should be up in one year; twomembers' terms should be up in another year; and one member's term should be up in a yearthat is not the same as the other two 2-group members. However, this staggering of terms havenot been fully followed in previous years. The re-appointments of members of the ICC Boardwith upcoming expiring terms will be the opportunity to bring back the staggering of terms andcorrectly realign the 2:2:1 ratio of staggered terms.

Currently, the 5 voting members of the International Code Council Board of Appeals are asfollows: Neal Wheeler, Cean Magosky, Kathryn Ruane serve as citizen at-large members whoseterms are to expire on April 1, 2020; Ray Sugg serves as the building contractor member whoseterm is to expire on April 1, 2020; and Sue Default serves as the business community memberwhose term is to expire on April 1, 2022. Lance McCalla is the alternate citizen at-large memberwhose term is to expire on April 1, 2020. Councilman Darren Deskin who serves as the ex-officio

13

member has a term to expire on April 1, 2022, but his term should coincide with his term ofoffice as a City Council member.

The following recommendation for re-appointments to the ICC Board of Appeals is being madein order to comply with the staggering of terms of the voting members:Neal Wheeler (Citizen At-Large) to serve until April 2021; Cean Magosky (Citizen At-Large) to serve until April 2022; Kathryn Ruane (Citizen At-Large) to serve until April 2023;Ray Sugg (Building Contractor member) to serve until April 2023; and Lance McCalla (Alternate) to serve for a three-year term until April 2023.

The recommendation is also being made for the appointment of Alderman Mark Lobes to theBoard to serve as the second ex-officio nonvoting City Council member during his term of officeon the City Council.

PROS/CONS/ALTERNATIVESResetting the staggering of terms for the voting members of the ICC Board of Appeals to alignwith the ratio of 2:2:1 for term expiration of the members.

RECOMMENDATIONApprove Resolution No. 20-039 re-appointing and appointing members to the International CodeCouncil Board of Appeals, fulfilling requirements of City Code and correcting staggered terms.
