The Town of Rising Sun on Aug. 23 introduced Ordinance 2022-O3, an enabling ordinance to establish a rental registration and inspection program and to amend the town's property maintenance code.
Town Administrator (first referenced in the record at SEG 027) told the board the proposal adds a new Chapter 9, titled "Rental Registration and Inspection Program," and updates Chapter 2 definitions in the property's maintenance code to support enforcement. He said the package includes three documents: the enabling ordinance and two companion documents that incorporate the property maintenance code language, with new and deleted text shown for review purposes. The administrator explained the redlined versions are for ease of review; the official archived ordinance will be prepared in black and white with conventional strikethroughs and underlines.
The administrator described the program's intent as requiring registration and inspection of all rental properties in town and said the ordinance would be made available to the public. He read the opening paragraph of Ordinance 2022-O3 into the minutes and said the ordinance "sits for two weeks" and could be voted on at the next town meeting.
No formal vote was taken on the ordinance at the Aug. 23 meeting; the matter was introduced and scheduled for further consideration in a subsequent meeting. Town staff emphasized that Chapter 9 would house the rental registration and inspection requirements and that definitions in Chapter 2 would be amended to support enforcement and compliance.
