Landlord Association concerned about Protective Services Cost Recovery bylaw
North Battleford city council heard some issues about its proposed Protective Services Cost Recovery bylaw at Monday’s council meeting.
If passed, bylaw 2144 would see properties that have an excessive number of calls annually for emergency services, such as criminal activity, mischief, excessive noise, parties, etc., potentially receive a fine that would be paid for by the property owners. Fines would range from $85 to $1,200 per hour.
The city says the Protective Services Cost Recovery Bylaw is “one of many initiatives the City of North Battleford has worked to implement in relation to overall community safety and wellbeing. The intent of this bylaw is to encourage responsible property ownership in the City of North Battleford.”
The bylaw previously carried second reading and is scheduled to be read a third and final time Dec. 11.
