City Council took cautious steps toward reopening the issue of inspection and licensing of rental homes Monday, Jan. 28.

During a committee session, council member Jack Weiss said he was bringing the topic back to the council to get a new community discussion started. He said he wanted the council's planning committee, which he chairs, to conduct a series of informal discussions that will include both renters and landlords, in hope of developing a city program that would improve health and safety in rental houses and apartments.
