City Commission Discussion Item Short Term Vacation Rentals (Commissioner Lonergan) Peter Schwarz, Director of Community and Economic Development provided staff’s presentation. Commissioner Lonergan read a statement regarding the State’s overreach in preventing municipalities from better controlling short-term vacation rentals. He wanted to offer a workshop event for residents and encourage them to contact their State representatives regarding how the short-term vacation rentals were negatively impacting residential areas. Commissioner Lonergan questioned if the City was covering costs and suggested increasing fees and penalties. A better way to monitor short-term vacation rentals, perhaps by hiring a late-night code officer, was suggested. He noted short-term vacation rentals did not have staff to manage issues on the properties. He inquired if the City could require liability insurance to protect the neighbors and the City. He thanked Sean Broderick’s ideas to improve the City regarding short- term vacation rentals. He inquired if short-term vacation rentals were required to adhere to ADA guidelines. He also noted short-term vacation rentals made neighborhoods less affordable. Commissioner Arnst and Commissioner Newbold agreed fees were too low. Vice Mayor Rosenwald supported increasing fees and having a late-night code officer. City Manager Hebert pointed out that some issues were better addressed by BSO for safety reasons. He stated they could change the fees, and ensure the fees covered the City’s costs and agreed to look at options with City Attorney Doody and bring suggestions back to the Commission. 25.
