The City of Carbondale is continuing its research around rental housing unit licensing. This will be a substantial and
important update to the current rental housing regulations. As part of this process, the City Council has directed staff to
solicit for interested parties who wish to serve on a rental housing licensing planning committee. We would like to extend
this offer to apply to be a part of this community. We have heard many people speak on this, and want to make sure those
who are interested have the opportunity to bring their voice to this committee.
If you have a desire in serving on this important committee, please submit a written letter of interest via email to Mayor
Carolin Harvey charvey@carbondaleil.gov. Your letter must include your name, address of current residence, reason for
interest in the committee, and a detailed description of your background or resume. All inquiries will be confidential until
the appointments are made. All letters of interest shall be submitted by September, 15.
The Rental Housing Licensing Committee will be comprised of the following community members:
– 4 landlords
– 4 Carbondale tenants (at least one of whom shall be a full time SIUC undergraduate currently living off campus)
– One at large citizen.
These committee members will serve with two Carbondale City Councilpersons and two City staff employees.
