SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — It’s been a long, tedious process for workers like Martin Gugel for the City of Springfield, but that work has paid off, as his team is officially presenting Springfield’s rental inspection program to the Springfield City Council this Monday, October 20.
“It’s been a fairly lengthy process. It went through City Council’s Community Involvement Committee and working through what a rental inspection program would look like from that, you know, doing research in other communities in Missouri and some of the surrounding states on programs that are currently in place, taking that information, bringing it into to something that makes sense for Springfield, and then working with that committee to give them a framework of what that would look like,” Gugel said. “We had many presentations to that committee and then a presentation to council, getting their feedback and then coming back to revise more of the detail on what an ordinance would look like in order to enact the program.”
