By: Michael Holden

With this program, landlords will have to register properly for forty dollars every year.

Council President Jim Winarski says this is necessary and the program was created to combat the slum landlord problems here in ErieCounty.

Erie City Council meets again in 3 weeks..

The program expires on March 31st and council must vote before that....

Again, if it gets final approval, it would be extended into 2017.
