The purpose of this item tonight is to gather public comment <br />from residents relative to possible changes to the City Code that would require licensing for rental <br />properties and to require a minimum 30 -day rental term. Prior to developing a full draft of the ordinance, <br />Staff had recommended a public hearing be held at the City Council level to obtain residents' input on <br />any possible changes. <br />Staff has identified 16 different property owners that advertise their properties on vacation rental sites. A <br />postcard was sent to those residents asking for public comments, with five letters being received. Three <br />additional letters were received earlier today and are before the City Council tonight. <br />Barnhart requested Mayor Walsh open the public hearing. <br />Mayor Walsh opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. <br />Bill Anderson, 1408 Baldur Park Road, stated he appreciates the City Council discussing this item but <br />noted that the City did not notify the neighbors next to the rental properties about tonight's hearing. <br />Anderson noted he lives next to a rental property. <br />Page 2 of 17 <br />
