Fiscal Note
The City Attorney's Office estimates that, under the provisions of the Ordinance, there may be 10 to 20 designations of Chronic Nuisance Premises annually. The City Attorney's Office has allocated a .75 FTE dedicated to the administration of nuisance cases. Funding for the position is included in the City Attorney operating budget. No additional appropriation is required for the City Attorney or the other City agencies to administer the provisions of the Ordinance, although there may be some future need for additional resources for costs such as court fees and service of papers if there is a significant increase in court actions. There may be some modest increase in General Fund revenues derived from forfeitures, penalties and fines associated with violations under the Chronic Nuisance Ordinance. If the Ordinance is repealed, City Attorney staff resources will be reallocated.
Title
SUBSTITUTE Repealing and recreating Section 25.09(12) of the Madison General Ordinances to eliminate the sunset provision and make this law permanent and retain an annual reporting requirement on the ordinance.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance repeals the sunset provision for the Chronic Nuisance Premises ordinance, making the ordinance permanent, and recreates the subsection with a modified requirement that the Chief of Police annually report to the Common Council on the ordinance.
