Council reviews Cloud Permit software and discusses creating new community development position
Summary
Council members heard a Cloud Permit demonstration of property-focused case tracking and discussed creating a combined Code Enforcement/Business/Rental Licensing/Planning position to manage the software and a potential rental code; City Administrator Candace Bruder called it a "new venture."
City staff presented a demonstration of Cloud Permit software designed to tie property records to casework and permit activity, and council discussed how the city would staff and manage the system.
A Cloud Permit presenter described the system's functions as able to “assist the city in organizing and tracking complaints, nuisance violations, rentals, improvements, planning and zoning, and public works requests.” City Administrator Candace Bruder said the proposal includes creating a combined Code Enforcement, Business/Rental Licensing, Building Permits and Planning/Zoning position to manage the software and to identify rentals and coordinate with a rental inspector; she called it a “new venture” for the city that will require dedicated staff.
Council members discussed the operational and budget implications of hiring a new staff member to administer a prospective rental code and directed staff to return with job scope, cost estimates and implementation options during budget planning.
