Title
SUBSTITUTE Creating Section 33.34 of the Madison General Ordinances to create a committee which will focus on housing strategy in the City of Madison.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: The Housing Committee, established under Sec. 32.03, MGO, is charged with a wide range of responsibilities. This includes overseeing the development of housing strategies within the City, addressing landlord-tenant concerns, and performing the functions formerly exercised by the Rent Abatement Oversight committee. This amendment, in conjunction with Legistar #25836, will separate the responsibilities regarding housing strategies from those related to landlord-tenant issues, and will establish a separate committee for each.
