City staff and councilors discussed revisions to a proposed rental registry ordinance at the Maplewood City Council work session on Feb. 11, with debate focused on whether to codify an "affordable rental housing fund" and whether the city has capacity to perform required inspections.

He raised specific questions about section G, the proposed affordable rental housing fund and whether the ordinance should specify funding mechanisms.
