THE BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY LAST(MON) NITE TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN THE HOUSING CODE…CHANGES THAT WOULD MAKE IT TOUGHER FOR NEGLIGENT LANDLORDS TO CONDUCT BUSINESS-AS-USUAL. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LOCAL LANDLORDS ASSOCIATION…RON BROZENE…SPOKE AT A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE VOTE, SAYING HIS GROUP WANTS TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH CITY STAFF ON THE AMENDMENTS…AND HE EXPRESSED GRATITUDE THAT THE COUNCIL SEEMS WILLING TO COMPROMISE ON A PROPOSAL TO REQUIRE BUG-SPRAYING EVERY THREE MONTHS.  COUNCILMAN CHRIS REED IS CONVINCED COMPROMISES CAN BE REACHED ON ALL THE CHANGES.

LAST NITE WAS THE FIRST-OF-THREE READINGS AND THE CODE CAN CONTINUE TO BE TWEAKED UNTIL THE END.
