South Beloit council adopts rental-property registry after debate over lease provisions
Summary
The City of South Beloit approved Ordinance 28-48 Oct. 20, establishing a residential rental-property registry that takes effect only after a property receives a summons for an administrative hearing; the measure passed 3–2 amid concerns over certified-mail notices and lease-related provisions.
The South Beloit City Council voted 3–2 on Oct. 20 to adopt Ordinance 28-48, creating a residential rental-property registry that applies only after a property has been summonsed for an administrative hearing, staff and council members said.
City Attorney Roxanne Slosnowski said the ordinance was revised so the registry becomes effective only after a property proceeds to an administrative hearing, which typically does not occur until at least 60 days after a notice of violation. "Section 18-4-36...tracks with the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure," Slosnowski said, adding the service-of-process language is consistent with state law.
