Item: Hotel Licensing
1 . ACTION REQUESTED:
Discuss draft of Section 435 of the City Code regarding hotel licensing.
2. BACKGROUND:
On December 12, 2017, the Council discussed a draft amendment and provided comments. Staff has
taken these comments and revised the attached draft.
As mentioned at the December 12, 2017 meeting, once a draft is an acceptable form, a meeting with
the hotel owners will be held prior to bringing the ordinance back for official action by the Council.
3. BUDGET IMPACT:
Staff would suggest the following license fees:
• $150 for Level 1
• $1,000 for Level 2
• $5,000 for Level 3
Staff is of the opinion that the fees for Levels 2 and 3 would assist in off -setting the required staff time
to manage this program and the more problematic properties. Along with the Level 3 fee of $5,000,
the draft ordinance includes a $1,000 plus actual costs fine for each call for service once a property
reaches a Level 3.

ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 4 (BUILDING, HOUSING AND CONSTRUCTION
REGULATIONS) OF THE CITY CODE TO ADD SECTION 435 REQUIRING BUSINESS LICENSES
FOR rR"""HOSPITALITY ACCOMMODATIONS
THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH ORDAIN:
Section 1. Amendment of City Code. Chapter 4 of the city code of the City of
Plymouth, Minnesota, is hereby amended by adding the following:
435.00. Findings and Intent.
Subd.1 The City of Plymouth (City) desires that hotel and motel owners provide
safe T - sie PA*Hospitality Accommodations.
Subd. 2 The City Council determines it is in the best interests of the City to take a
proactive approach to deterring and minimizing criminal activity and minimizing safety
concerns at the 0ty!s-hotels and motels within the City of Plymouth.
Subd. 3 The City Council desires to encourage and foster cooperation between
hotel and motel operations andin the City, so calls for service initiated by the hotel or motel
operator should not be included in the calls for service calculations for the purposes of these
regulations.
Subd. 4 The level of criminal activity occurring at hotels and motels in the City is
a real and compelling concern to the City Council, residents, visitors, and the hotel and
motel industry itself.
Subd. 5 A review of the police service calls regarding criminal activity
demonstrates that some hotels and motels in the City are responsible for a disproportionate
number of those calls.

Page 2
Subd. 6 It is reasonable to require hotels and motels with a higher number of
police calls for service to employ certain measures that have been shown to be effective in
deterring crime.
Subd. 7 To account for differences in the number of lodging units among the
hotels and motels, and to avoid larger properties being disproportionately represented, it is
appropriate to consider the number of calls for service based on a per -lodging unit
calculation for the purposes of determining the level of business license required.
Subd. 8 The license required by this ordinance is a business license issued under
the City's general police powers and is not intended to regulate items addressed in a

Adding Quality to Life
SPECIAL
COUNCIL MEETING
December 12, 2017
1. ACTION REQUESTED:
Agenda
Number:
To: Dave Callister, City Manager
Prepared by: Mike Goldstein, Public Safety Director
Reviewed by: Dave Callister, City Manager
Discuss the Amendment of Chapter 4 of the City Code to Add
Item: Section 435 Requiring Business Licenses for Transient /
Accommodations
Discuss the amendment of Chapter 4 of the City Code to add section 435 requiring business licenses for
transient accommodations.
2. BACKGROUND:
City staff is seeking input from the City Council regarding a proposed amendment to Chapter 4 of the
City Code, which would enable the City to require a business license from those businesses operating
transient accommodations i.e. hotels and motels.
Over the last several years, the City has expended a considerable amount of time and resources
responding to a variety of public safety and public health-related concerns at the various hotels and
motels within the community. While a number of tactics have been established and acted upon by
personnel from both the Public Safety and Community Development Departments to better engage
with these businesses, the calls for service have not diminished and in fact, in certain locations, have
increased.
Therefore, staff has researched additional measures, including the proposed ordinance language, which
would yield enhanced accountability from these businesses and the better management of their
properties resulting in a safer environment. The proposed ordinance is predicated upon a similar
ordinance that the City of Brooklyn Center enacted last year.
The proposed ordinance establishes a required business license to operate a transient accommodation
site in the City of Plymouth. The purpose is to ensure that hotels and motels are implementing
measures to improve the safety of their properties and to discourage criminal activity within their
facilities. Further, a tiered system would be employed whereby those businesses that are compliant
with the established standards within the ordinance, and fall within a certain range of calls for service,
would not result in additional conditions imposed upon the business. However, for those businesses
that are not compliant with the stipulated standards and/or fall outside of the range for calls for
service, then additional conditions and fees will be imposed onto the business.
The standards are defined in the probosed ordinance and are in conjunction with the industry's best
practices established by the Center for Problem -Oriented Policing. The range for calls for service is
measured upon a per -lodging unit calculation to avoid larger properties from being disproportionately
Page 14
represented. A defined property inspections process is also outlined in the proposed ordinance as is a
validation procedure to properly vet and account for qualified calls for service. The ordinance provides
for both penalties and an appeals process as well.
Finally, staff has not initiated any discussions regarding this proposed ordinance with the hotels and
motels. Staff wanted to hear from the City Council first to learn whether there is a desire to move this
concept forward. If the direction is to study this notion further, then staff will meet with all of the hotel
and motel managers to share the proposed ordinance with them and to seek their input, which would
be reported back to the City Council at a later date.
3. BUDGET IMPACT:
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council to determine the appropriate licensing fees. For
example, in the City of Brooklyn Center, the fees are as follows: $150 for Level 1, $200 for Level 2 and
$300 for Level 3. Staff believes that the license fees for Level 2 and 3 businesses should be higher as
the fees would assist in off -setting the required staff time to manage this program and the more
problematic properties.

Page 15
Plymouth has a significant hotel presence that includes seven hotels, 986 rooms and a total property valuation of over
$43 million. The hotel market represents one of the main places visitors, either for work, recreation or pleasure,
experience Plymouth, It is essential that the city's hotels provide a safe experience to the traveling public, both for the
sake of the visitors and for the community's reputation and quality of life. Unfortunately, there have been a number of
well documented incidents that merit a deeper review of the city's hotel market. This report provides city officials trend
information that will be useful in further consideration or development of new policies regulating the market, all with
the intent of protecting public safety and other community interests.
The first step in this process was to analyze data from the Police Department regarding police incidents to each of
Plymouth's seven hotels. In October, at my request, Jared Gilbert, Public Safety Analyst, began gathering historical data
on all reported police incidents at Plymouth hotels. This data breaks down in detail the types of incidents at each hotel
from 2011 through 2015. The Plymouth Hotels Incident History Report as prepared by Plymouth Public Safety is
included as a supplement to this report.
This report's objective is to not only look at police calls for service, but to fake a much broader look and to answer
several basic questions:
1. How many rooms does each hotel have?
2.. What is the market value of each hotel?
3. What is the market value of each hotel room?
4. What amount does each hotel pay to the city in annual property taxes?
S. What is the police call distribution per hotel?
6. Do the city property taxes collected from each hotel cover the cost of providing annual police services?
7. Is there a correlation between hotel room rates and the number of police calls?
S. Have the hotel owners reinvested in their buildings and if so, how much has been reinvested?
This report gathers data regardjng property valuation, tax impacts, service demand, and room counts to provide a
broader perspective. While much of the information draws correlations, there are questions of causation which are not
directly addressed here. While no single measure should be used to infer action be taken, the data, in its totality, begins
to demonstrate trends that may merit further consideration and action.
For clarification purposes, please note that the Ramada has been rebranded twice aver the last several years from the
Kelly Inn to the Best Western Inn to the Ramada.

How many rooms does each hotel have? The City of Plymouth currently has seven hotels with 985 rooms that were
constructed between 1973 and 2907 and allocated as follows:
What is the market value of each hotel? Per the Hennepin County Assessor, the total market value for 2016 for all
seven hotels is just over $43 million, an average of $6.1 million per hotel, with a high of $13 million for the Crowne Plaza
and a low of $2 million for the Red Roof Inn. The market values for Plymouth hotels have been stable since 2010.

What is the market value of each hotel room? The 2016 market values are broken down per hotel room which
illustrates that the city has a wide range of product in its hotel room inventory. The market value per room ranges from
a low of $16,931 for the Red Roof Inn to a high of $87,714 for the Residence Inn. The age and type of construction for
each hotel has some correlation with market value as does the amount of reinvestment or lack of reinvestment
(maintenance/upgrades) in each property.
What amount does each hotel pay to the city in annual property taxes? The amount of city property taxes per
hotel was calculated and divided by the number of rooms, resulting in a total city property tax per hotel room. Each
room in the Red Roof Inn paid $57 in city property taxes in 2016. Each room in the Days Inn paid $69 in city property
taxes in 2016. The highest city property taxes paid per hotel room was the Residence Inn at $303.

The total annual city property taxes collected from each hotel follows a similar pattern with a high of $45,569 for the
Residence Inn and a low of $5,633 for the Red Roof Inn. The average is $21,213.

Days Inn $7,704
Red Roof Inn $5.633
What is the police call distribution per hotel? The following charts compare the percentage of the total hotel
rooms city-wide versus the percentage of police calls for each hotel. For example, the Red Roof Inn has 12% of the total
hotel rooms in the city while they received 43% of the total police calls to hotel properties. Conversely, the Residence
Inn has 12% of the total hotel rooms and received only 5% of the total police calls in 2015.
Hotel Rooms - 2011 to 2015 Calls for Police Services - 2011 to 2015
Do the city property taxes collected from each hotel cover the cost of providing annual police services? In order to
obtain a general idea of the cost of each police call, we created a simple formula to calculate the cost of each police tail
in Plymouth. This was done by taking an average of the total annual police budgets from 2011 to 2015 and dividing by
the average annual city-wide police calls from 2011 to 2015. This calculation results in a cost of $247 per police call
which was then multiplied by each hotel's average annual police calls from 2011 to 2015. The estimated cost for annual
police calls varies from a low of $3,832 at the County Inn & 5uites to a high of $45,450 at the Red Roof Inn. There are
many variables that are not accounted for in this methodology, but this ratio illustrates a simple means of relative cost
allocation.
Page 19 4
The next step calculated the five year average of city property taxes collected from each hotel to determine whether or
not the cost of providing police services exceeds the amount of city property taxes collected. The result of this exercise
is that two hotels greatly exceed what is collected in property taxes versus police services received (calls). The Red Roof
Inn has a negative variance of $43,404 and the Days Inn a negative variance of $19,041. Far example, the Red Roof Inn
received 22 tunes more in police services than what they paid towards police property taxes. Similarly, the Days Inn
received nine times more in police services than what they received. Two hotels (Ramada, Comfort Inn) also had small
negative variances while the Residence Inn, Country Inn & Suites and Crowne Plaza had annual positive balances,
meaning the cost of providing police services was less than what the city received in property taxes for this purpose.
It is important to keep in mind that in addition to police services, city property taxes cover a broad range of services
including streets and public works, parks and recreation, fire, community development and general services.
Is there a correlation between hotel room rates and the number of police calls? When reviewing police calls
and hotel room rates, there appears to be similar trends as illustrated in earlier questions. Based on daily room rates,
the graph below shows a direct correlation between lower priced hotels and higher volumes of police calls. Conversely,
there is also a direct correlation between higher priced hotels and lower police calls.

Have the hotel owners reinvested in their buildings and if so, how much has been reinvested? Building
permit data from 2006 through 2016 was reviewed to determine the amount of reinvestment in each hotel over this
time span. For comparison purposes, we have excluded the Residence Inn because almost all of the permits issued were
for new construction in 2007 ($10.8 million). One hotel, the Comfort Inn has spent $957,000 on improvements to its
adjoining restaurant (Axel's and Lucky's 13 Pub). We have excluded restaurant related permit values to obtain a better
idea of reinvestment amounts spent strictly on hotel rooms and common areas.
Each hotel has reinvested at different rates over the last 10 years. Certainly, the age of the building as well as how well
it has been maintained are both factors that have some correlation to how much or how little is reinvested. The
Comfort Inn has reinvested $948,793 ($8,179 per room) since 2006 while the Days inn has reinvested only $148,562
($1,338 per room) during this same period. Of the $148,562 in total permit value for the Days Inn since 2006, $77,200
or 52%, has been issued in 2015 and 2016 for repairing water damage and mold, permits for what most would consider
emergency repairs, not reinvestment in the property.

At this time, the data presented is for informational purposes only and includes data for all Plymouth hotels. The council
may wish to review additional information, discuss this matter further or consider amending the nuisance ordinance to
include a system based on tracking and penalizing the number of violations. There may be other ideas to explore that
would address hotel management behavior and encourage reinvestment with the ultimate goal of making our hotels
and community safer. Please let me know if you are interested in scheduling a future study session on this topic.

Results show annual incident rates are flat overtime for most hotels. However, the data indicate a
trend of increasing incident rates for Days Inn, Ramada Inn, and Country Inn & 5uites.
This dataset was queried to include all incident types except the following. For all of these, incidents
with these titles were excluded. Additionally, those coded as a medical or domestic calf were excluded
based on the nature of the request and overlap with certain incident titles.
• Cancel/Cancel no Contact
• Void
• Traffic Stop, Traffic Offense
• Citation, Written Warning, Verbal Warning
■ Medical title, MED code
• Domestic title, DISDOM code
• Spot Checking
Below is list of all incident types across all the hotels for the period of 2011 through November 15, 2017.
The total counts noted here are simply aggregate counts over that period for ranking purposes.
