ATTACHMENT D Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 11, 2021 Page 2 49 necessarily always gets them there, particularly with some particular holiday week- 50 ends. That is one area he would look to seeing this go a little further than it currently 51 does. 52 53 Councilmember Etten agreed with Councilmember Willmus in that he thought a lot 54 of this language and the two separate looks at the ordinance for short-term and 55 longer-term wereexcellent. He appreciated the details that were added and the 56 processes and penalties. He would also like to have discussion sometime about 57 seasonal lengths and understanding the impacts. 58 59 Mayor Roe noted under the enforcement and the initial suspensioncriteria arethree 60 violations within 180 days. He wondered if the Council had some thoughts that 61 three was too many before the City would start to get to suspension or if two is a 62 better number. He also disagreed with Councilmember Willmus’ idea of rental 63 time. He came from a point of view of perhaps a two- or three-day minimum rental 64 period allowed up to 30 days but the turnover period would have to be seven days. 65 66 Public Comment 67 68 Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment. 69 70 Ms. Barbara Garn, South McCarrons 71 Ms. Garnexplained she lives very close to the VRBO that is one of the problem 72 properties. She thanked the Council for the time spent on this, that tthey are pay- 73 ing attention to this, and indicated she felt heard knowing how much time the 74 Council and staff have spent on this and she thanked them. She was concerned 75 because regulation of daily use is critical. If the owner is not on site for the dura- 76 tion of the stay, then it does fall on neighbors to monitor this activity.

She stated the City also needs regulation of short- 79 term rentals city wide. She thought the City should think about how many of 80 these rental licenses should be allowed in the community. What is the number to 81 aim for because now is the time that the City should start setting those re- 82 strictions. As a neighbor, she felt that notification needs to be part of this process, 83 not just when someone has violated, but she should be informed when this is hap- 84 pening in her community and she would like to see that as a part of the process 85 going forward. She explained she did not get any notification and certainly did 86 not get any information on what to do if anything goes wrong, who she should 87 contact, so she would like a process for neighbors. One piece of clarity she would 88 like in the City’s materialsis owner-occupied, which is not part of the definitions. 89 She wondered if that meant the owner lives there while the renters are there,or 90 does that mean the owner lives there most of the year but sometimes leaves when 91 renters come. She thought that was a big difference and would like to see that 92 clarified. She would also like to point out that the City’s opportunity to make 93 changes for the Roseville residents regarding this policy is not just something that
