Discussion:
The regulation of operating ATVs and UTVs was discussed at length by this committee. At the last meeting, requirements to be able to drive them in town were considered and listed. This change requires an ordinance that also sets the registration fee. The Committee debated the amount of the fee, but after hearing what other cities were charging, they settled on $100.

Recommend to the City Council to enact Ordinance 2153: An ordinance regulating the operation of all-terrain vehicles and utility-type vehicles, with a registration fee of $100. Carried with a motion by Dale Strehle and a second by Ryan Hinz.

Subject:
3.C. Discuss the creation of a rental property inspection and registration program. 
Discussion:
The Committee discussed reasons why a rental property inspection would be beneficial and what obstacles may come up. With the current lack of housing, one substantial worry is that the tenants who get kicked out of a rental due to it failing an inspection would not have another place to go. However, in the end, it will make the rentals in Crete safer for its tenants. There will be much more discussion about a program like this, as it will need to be implemented in a way to minimize the impact on our citizens.
