He recommended <br />that the reporting requirements could be improved with adjusting the dates in the <br />city's governing ordinance. <br />The attached ordinance would change the initial notice date from February 1 St to <br />April 15th and would require the Community and Economic Development to <br />complete all notice requirements by regular mail or email by that date. It would <br />further change the date when the annual report would be filed with the Office of <br />the City Clerk and the Common Council from March 31St to June 15th. The state <br />law requirement for property owners to complete and file their CF1 Reports <br />would continue to be May 15th. <br />The Council Attorney worked with Beth Leonard Inks, Director of Financial and <br />Program Management in the drafting of this ordinance. <br />Based on the discussions at the March 12th committee meeting, the City <br />Administration will be requesting the Common Council to suspend the rules at <br />its meeting of March 26 , so that 1St & 2"d readings, public hearing and 3rd <br />reading may all take place on that date. Further discussion will take place at the <br />March 26th CED meeting.
