"The ordinance, aimed at beefing up enforcement of quality-of-life ordinances - prohibitions against things such as trash and noise in single-family residential neighborhoods - has drawn continuing fire from local landlords since it was proposed earlier this year..."Mayor Heidi Davison and new commissioners David Lynn, Kathy Hoard and George Maxwell ran last year on platforms of neighborhood protection and open government. All four said during their campaigns that they favored rental registration."...a final draft of the rental registration ordinance is expected to go before the commission at its April 17 agenda-setting session, and should be up for a commission vote on May 6."
