KEMP—Kemp will soon implement a Residential Rental Inspection Program effective September 1. The program is to ensure the homes people are renting within the city are safe and acceptable for the people living there.

Council Member Daniel Camehl made the motion which was seconded by Council Member Greg Capehart, and passed unanimously.
