Members of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee voted to ask administration to return to the full commission with a recommended property‑manager registration program that would require a two‑hour course before a manager receives the Business Tax Receipt (BTR) or registration. The proposal responds to concerns raised by the local special master and the Bar Association that some property managers appear unaware of city rules governing rentals and condo associations.

Committee members said a short, mandatory course tied to registration would reduce the repeated appearance of the same managers at special‑master hearings claiming unfamiliarity with city requirements. Staff said program design and enforcement details will be developed by administration and legal counsel and that the program will return to the commission for approval.

Ending: The committee’s unanimous endorsement asks staff to prepare an implementable registration program and course that reduces repeat noncompliance and clarifies responsibilities for property managers and associations.
