Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15 § 15.210
INVESTIGATION OF APPLICATION (Bloomington Buildings and Structures Code)
Operative Text
The City Engineer shall investigate the application with particular reference to its effect on the water table and the conservation of water in the city. The Health Officer shall investigate the application with particular reference to the health hazard which might be involved. The City Engineer and Health Officer shall endorse the recommendation upon the application. (1958 Code, § 47.02) (Ord. 96, passed 12-17-1956)
Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.210, when an application is submitted, two city officials are required to conduct separate reviews: the City Engineer examines potential impacts on the local water table and water conservation, while the Health Officer evaluates any health hazards the application might present. Both officials must then record their recommendations directly on the application before it can proceed. This provision ensures that applications receive technical scrutiny from both an engineering and a public health perspective.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners or managers submitting applications subject to Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.210 should be aware that the application will be reviewed by both the City Engineer and the Health Officer before any determination is made. Compliant applicants typically ensure their submissions include sufficient detail about water usage and potential health impacts to facilitate these reviews. Operators generally allow adequate time in their project planning for both endorsements to be completed and recorded on the application.

Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 15.210 establishes a dual-review process that is designed to protect community health and water resources when certain applications are considered. Tenants who believe a relevant application was approved without the required City Engineer or Health Officer endorsements may have grounds to raise that procedural gap with city officials or a tenant-rights organization. General enforcement paths can include filing a concern with the appropriate Bloomington city department or consulting a local housing advocacy resource for guidance on next steps.
