Kennett City council adopts ordinance to codify provisional landlord licenses
Summary
The council passed Ordinance 30 99 (two readings in one meeting) to add a provision authorizing issuance of provisional landlord licenses, formalizing a practice used by staff during inspections and enforcement.
The Kennett City Council adopted Ordinance 30 99 to amend the municipal code by adding a section to provide for issuance of provisional landlord licenses.
Council members read the ordinance in the meeting and moved to adopt it; because the council wanted to codify an existing administrative practice, they performed a first and second reading in the same meeting and passed the ordinance on the second reading. The ordinance text, as read, adds a section "f" providing for provisional landlord licenses and references amendments to section numbers cited during the reading.
A roll-call vote was taken on the second reading; each named member answered "Yes" in the record and the ordinance passed. Council members described the change as formalizing ongoing practice so the city has a codified process for provisional licensing in the future.
The council did not detail implementation timelines, fees, or appeal procedures during the meeting; those operational details were not specified in the ordinance reading portion of the transcript.
