[3A. Presentation and update regarding the proposed Short-Term Rental (STR) regulations (45 minutes).]
[00:14:47]
>> SO, THE BIG ISSUE HERE WAS, UM, WHERE DID WE COME UP WITH
[00:14:51]
THE $500, AND, 300 OF THAT $500 WAS PAID FOR THAT IS THE[00:14:58]
QUESTION. >> YEAH, THAT WAS THE QUESTION, WHETHER THAT WAS IN ADDITION TO OR PART OF IT, AND THE $150
[00:15:06]
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE, WOULD THAT ALSO BE PART OF IT?>> YES. >> SO, YOU JUST BROKE THAT
DOWN. >> WE BREAKDOWN THE $500 TO SHOW HOW WE CUMULATIVELY GOT THE $500.
>> WE LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD VERIFY OR JUSTIFY THAT FEE AND THAT'S, THAT'S OUR JUSTIFICATION, $300, TO $150.
>> WELL, THAT IS THE QUESTION. >> SOMETHING THAT I NOTICED IN LOOKING AT OTHER CITIES, WHAT OTHER CITIES HAVE DONE, SOME OF THEIR ORDINANCES, AND THAT WE HAVEN'T DONE HERE IS THEY, SOME OF THEM DON'T TREAT, UM, OWNER OCCUPIED AND NON-OWNER OCCUPIED SHORT-TERM RENTALS THE SAME. AND, HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT? ONE THING THAT MADE ME THINK ABOUT IT WAS DOWN HERE WHERE IT SAYS, UM, LIMITING THE NUMBER OF PARKING TO FOUR VEHICLES WITHIN THE GARAGE AND DRIVEWAY, SO, IF THIS IS AN OWNER-OCCUPIED STR WHERE THE OWNERS ARE THERE, BUT RENTING OUT THE TOP FLOOR, OR THEY'RE RENTING OUT ONE ROOM OR WHATEVER, AND, THE OWNERS MAY HAVE THREE VEHICLES ALREADY, SO, IS THE SHORT-TERM RENTER LIMITED
>> EVEN IF THE DRIVEWAY WILL HOLD, LIKE, MY DRIVEWAY WILL HOLD FOUR VEHICLES AND MY GARAGE HOLDS TWO.
>> SO, THE ORDINANCE CAN BE REFINED, FORGIVE ME, I'M UNABLE TO RECALL, I'M SITTING, STILL IN A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE, BUT, I BELIEVE THAT THE LIMITATION WAS HAVING A TOTAL OF FOUR, BUT, WE COULD DEFINITELY REVISE THAT TO SAY TWO IN THE GARAGE, WELL, DEPE DEPENDING ON THE PARKING SPACES IN THE GARAGE OR NOT TO EXCEED THE OVERFLOW.
>> OR, JUST PUT A LIMIT ON THAT BUT EXCLUDE THE OWNER'S VEHICLES. I KNOW THAT YOU HAVE SOME LIKE THAT, BECAUSE, I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WOULD RENT OUT THEIR TOP FLOOR, BUT, THEY WERE STILL THERE. SO, THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
>> WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT.
>> OKAY. AND THEN. >> I THINK THAT YOU'RE INTENT WAS TO KEEP THEM OFF THE STREET, RIGHT?
>> CORRECT. >> AND RIGHT, THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING, YOU KNOW, ALL DRIVEWAY ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL.
>> I HAD A QUESTION. >> VERY INTERESTING. OH, OKAY.
SO, I WAS LOOKING AT THE CODE IN 58-112, AND I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE HOTEL TAX, IT SAYS THERE'S, HEREBY LEVEE TO TAX OF 7% OF THE PRICE PAID FOR A ROOM IN A HOTEL ON EVERY PERSON WHO UNDER A LEASED CONCESSION PERMIT RUNS ACCESS, LICENSED, CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT PAYS FOR THE USE OF POSSESSION OR THE RIGHT TO THE USE OF POSSESSION OF A ROOM. IS THIS HOTEL TAX ACTUALLY COLLECTED ON EACH PERSON IF YOU HAD A FAMILY OF THREE RENTING
IT? OR IS THAT -- >> THERE'S ONE PERSON RENTING
IT. >> OKAY, SO, YOU'RE CONSIDERING JUST THE PERSON IN WHOSE NAME IT WILL BE IN?
>> IF YOU HAVE 15 GUESTS, BUT YOU'RE THE REGISTERED RENTER.
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> OKAY. THE QUIET HOURS. HOW DO YOU DEFINE THAT? HOW ARE WE GOING TO SAY WHAT'S QUIET? HOW
QUIET IS QUIET? >> WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
>> I HAD THE SAME QUESTION. >> IT'S SOMETHING THAT
(INDISCERNIBLE) (INAUDIBLE) >> SO, IT WILL BE THE SAME AS THE NOISE ORDINANCE AND THAT'S NO DIFFERENT FOR THESE THAN FOR
ANY OTHER? >> CORRECT. SO, IF THERE'S A NOISE COMPLAINT, IT WOULD GO TO PD, AND THAT'S HOW WE WOULD
FOLLOW IT UP. >> PROHIBITING EXTERNAL SIGNAGE, I ASSUME THAT'S GOING TO BE WRITTEN SUCH THAT IT WILL MEAN EXTERNAL SIGNAGE, ADVERTISING THE SHORT-TERM
RENTAL, NOT ALL SIGNAGE? >> CORRECT.
>> RIGHT. >> OKAY. YES. I LIKE THE IDEA OF DOING A TRIAL RUN AND I LIKE THE FEES, NOW THAT I'VE CLARIFIED. I LIKE GRANICUS' PRICES AND INCLUSIONS. DO WE HAVE TO COMMIT TO AN ENTIRE YEAR WITH ANY OF THESE OR?
[00:20:02]
>> I BELIEVE SO. >> WE CAN VERIFY AND LOOK AT A
SIX MONTH TRIAL. ABSOLUTELY. >> WELL, I JUST WONDERED IF WE FOUND SIX MONTHS IN THAT IT REALLY, REALLY, WASN'T WORKED
WOULD WE BE COMMITTED? >> WE'LL LOOK INTO THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SOME FALLBACK PROVISIONS. SGLT OMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES ON THE TAKE AREA, I THINK WHAT THE CITIZENS SPOKE ABOUT THAT WAS NOT REFERRING TO THE STR RENTAL AS BEING A COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY, BUT, RATHER, A PARTICULAR HOST WAS RENTING OUT KAYAKS, AND, WOULD THAT, IF SOMEBODY FROM THAT, THIS WAS LIKE A FULL-TIME STR WHERE THE OWNER DIDN'T LIVE THERE, AND THEY RENTED TO THEIR GUESTS, KAYAKS, WOULD THAT NOT BE A COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AND A VIOLATION THEN, OF THE TAKE AREA
REGULATION? >> I WOULD SAY, YES. WE WOULD TAKE THAT. BUT, IF SOMEONE WAS HAVING A BIRTHDAY PARTY OR A WEDDING, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ANY PROPERTY OWNER COULD.
>> THE ABILITY DO TO USE THAT. >> THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD THIS, THE GUY HAD KAYAKS THERE AND HE WOULD RENT THEM TO HIS
SHORT-TERM RENTERS. >> THIS FIRST FLUSH IT'S A LITTLE BIT GRAY, BECAUSE I'M OFFERING THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL.
>> IF YOU GO TO A HOTEL AND YOU GET A ROUND OF GOLF AS A PART OF A PACKAGE TO STAY IN THE HOTEL, IS THAT A SECOND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY OR PART OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENT.
>> WELL, THIS WAS A SEPARATE CHARGE FOR THE KAYAKS.
>> HE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF AUTHORIZATION OR PERMIT TO DO SOME LEVEL OF BUSINESS IN THE CITY ANYWAY, RIGHT? WHETHER IT'S RELATED TO SHORT-TERM RENTALS OR NOT.
>> SO, AS A RESIDENT, I COULD USE MY KAYAK.
>> RIGHT. >> AND SO, IF I HAD A SHORT-TERM RENTAL AND I HAD KAYAKS, I COULD JUST USE IT AS A GOLF THE ROUND, HERE, 25 EXTRA DOLLARS, I'M JUST PULLING THAT OUT OF THE AIR. GO AHEAD AND USE THE KAYAKS AND I'M LOOKING AT DAVID BURMAN WHO IS NOW RAISING HIS HEAD.
>> IF IT'S DIFFERENT, THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT, THEY CAN, PUT IN THE KAYAKS AS PART OF THE DEALALITY AN EXTRA CHARGE AS LONG AS ALL THE HOMES IN THE OCCUPATION ARE
(INDISCERNIBLE) >> IF SOMEBODY WAS OUT THERE WITH A KAYAK RENTAL KIOSK, AND REN RENTING KAYAKS FOR WHATEVER, BUT, IT WAS ONLY FOR THE USE OF THE PERSON STAYING IN THE HOME AND THEY PAID FOR THE USE.
>> IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR THEM.
>> I UNDERSTAND, BUT, I WANTED TO BRING IT UP.
>> SO, IT WOULD BE MORE OF AN ENFORCEMENT/COMPLAINT KIND OF THING. SO, IF WE GOT A CALL ON THE HOT LINE, WE WOULD CALL IT
IN AND MONITOR IT. >> OKAY. ALL SOUNDS GOOD.
>> I'M ON BOARD. >> BACK TO YOUR SLIDE TALKING ABOUT ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES. I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY, WE DON'T WANT TO SEE ANY KIND OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES, IS THERE A REASON WHY WE HAVE TO SPECIFY IF THERE IS ONE?
>> NO, WE COULD JUST, IF WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE, YOU KNOW, THE CURRENT ORDINANCES THE WAY THEY'RE WRITTEN, BUT, WE COULD ABSOLUTELY JUST CODIFY IT AS ILLEGAL USES AND HAVE A SCHEDULE
OF USES TO FOLLOW THAT. >> YEAH.
>> BECAUSE THEY COULD BE SELLING DRUGS.
>> WELL, WOULD THAT NOT BE JUST AS ENFORCEABLE BY THE POLICE AS IT WOULD AT ANY PLACE, OR WOULD THERE BE AN EXTRA CIVIL PENALTY
BASED ON THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL? >> THE INTENT OF THAT IS TO UTILIZE THAT AS ONE OF THE THREE STRIKES SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE
VIOLATIONS. >> TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY,
OKAY... >> I WOULD THINK THAT SELLING
DRUGS WOULD BE ONE DISTRACTION. >> I WILL INCLUDE ALL ILLEGAL
ACTIVITY. >> SO, CAN WE TIGHTEN UP THE DEFINITION OF (INDISCERNIBLE) IN THE ORDINANCE? I THINK, CODE HAS SOME PRETTY SUCCINCT DEFINITION AS A ROOM THAT CAN BE USED AS BEDROOM, CAN WE TIE THIS DEFINITION TO THE CODE TO BE SURE THAT THEY'RE NOT THROWING MATTRESSES IN CLOSETS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> WITH BUILDING CODE? >> YES, ABSOLUTELY.
>> AND BACK TO PARKING, MY JOB AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S
[00:25:03]
DIFFICULTY, BUT, I WOULD LIKE TO BRAINSTORM ABOUT HOW WE, UM, REALLY, PROVIDE SERIOUS PENALTIES IF IN FACT WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE CARS ARE PARKED ON THE STREET AND THEY'RE NOT THE AREA OR THOSE CARS AS A TE - TOW-AWAY ZONE?>> HOW WOULD YOU DO THAT FOR A PUBLIC STREET?
>> YEAH? >> IT'S A REGISTERED SHORT-TERM RENTAL, THEN, YOU CAN'T PARK IN FRONT OF YOU.
>> WELL, YOU COULD PUT NO PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THE
(INDISCERNIBLE) >> IT WOULD BE ON THE WRONG
>> IT SEEMS LIKE A REALLY BIG STEP TO TAKE FOR ONE SHORT-TERM
>> ONE PROPERTY LINE TO THE NEXT.
>> WELL, THIS IS WHERE I GO BACK AND I NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE ENFORCEMENT A BIT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU START TO PUT MORE RESTRICTIONS ON PEOPLE THEN WHAT'S THEIR INCENTIVE, SO TO SPEAK, WHAT'S THE LEVERAGE TO GET THEM TO REGISTER YOU KNOW? WE HAVE A MAX FINE OF $2,000, YES, IT'S PER VIOLATION, YOU KNOW, $2,000 MAX, SOME OF THESE HOMES ARE MAKING MORE THAN THAT, YOU KNOW, TO THEM, THE FINE MIGHT NOT BE WORTH IT, SO, YOU KNOW, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THAT WORKS NOW THEY HAVE THEIR LICENSE REVOKED, YET, THEY'RE STILL DOING IT AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE COPS THAT COME FOR NOISE VIOLATIONS OR PARKING VIOLATIONS, WHAT IS THE FINAL TEETH THAT WE HAVE? WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO PUT A LIEN ON THE PROPERTY? DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO TOWARDS EVICTION? WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT, SO, REALLY WE'RE TRYING TO REGULATE IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BUT, REALLY AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S PD AND THE NOISE ORDINANCES AND THINGS LIKE THAT AND TRY TO FINE THEM FOR AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND ENFORCE IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN, BUT, UNTIL THERE'S ADDITIONAL STATE OR FEDERAL LAW REGARDING THESE THINGS, THAT'S NOT MUCH THAT WE COULD DO ABOUT THAT. AM I RIGHT ABOUT THAT
ONE? >> MORE OR LESS, WE COULD IMPOSE REASONABLE REGULATIONS, WE COULD LIMIT THEM. BUT, BY IMPOSING REGULATIONS WE'RE NOT TRYING TO PROHIBIT THEM BUT TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL IN YOU THEY'RE USED. THERE ARE CASES OUT THERE THAT CONSISTENTLY SAY THAT REGULATION THAT IS PROHIBIT STRS ARE INVALID AND THOSE HAVE HAD DAMAGES AND WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT POSITION, WE DON'T WANT TO DEPRIVE PEOPLE FROM USING THEIR HOMES AS THEY WANT TO USE THEM, BUT, THE BEST THAT WE COULD DO IS ADOPT A SET O REGIONAL REGULATIONS. EVEN THE CASES THAT TALK ABOUT IT SAY THE CITIES HAVE OTHER OPTIONS AND THOSE ARE THE OTHER OPTIONS, YOU SEND COPS OUT THERE, GET VIOLATIONS FOR TRASH AND DEBRIS, PUT UP A NO-PARKING SIGN ON ONE SIDE OF THE STREET, WHATEVER YOU CAN THINK OF.
>> AND IN REGARD TO STATE LAWS THERE'S A BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE NOW THAT WOULD DO THE OPPOSITE WHICH IS KNOWN AS A
SUPER PREEMPTION BILL. >> THE TEXAS SUPREME COURT OPINIONS IS TO FAVOR PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND TO FAVOR THE USE OF PROPERTY AS SHORT-TERM RENTALS. THERE'S A CASE THAT'S ACTUALLY UPHOLD'S A CITY'S REGULATIONS, EVERY CASE AFTER THAT STRIKES THEM DOWN CONSISTENTLY:
>> SOMETHING ELSE TO CONSIDER, AND DAVID, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT, I THINK THAT HOAS HAVE MORE AUTHORITY THROUGH DEED
RESTRICTIONS. >> THE VERY FIRST SUPREME COURT OPINION THAT CAME UP DEALING WITH SHORT-TERM RENTALS DEALT WITH AN HOA, AND IN THAT CASE CLEARLY SAID THE USE OF PROPERTY AS A SHORT-TERM RENTAL FROM THE OWNER'S PERSPECTIVE IS STILL A RESIDENTIAL USE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE HOA RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT VALID. AT LEAST, THOSE WEREN'T VALID.
>> OKAY. I HAD READ THAT THERE HAD BEEN RECENT CASE THAT IS HAD
GONE THE OTHER WAY. >> THE ORIGINAL CASE, TAR VERSUS TIMBER CREEK, THE SPECIFIC HOA RESTRICTIONS WHICH WERE BROAD, IT SAID PROPERTIES HAE TO BE USED FOR RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES AND THE STR WAS (INDISCERNIBLE) SO...
>> OKAY. WELL, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY WAS AND I'LL GO BACK AND SEE IF I CAN FIND THOSE, BUT, IF HOAS DO HAVE MORE LEEWAY THAN THAT, WE MAY BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE HOA BOARDS TO
GET THEM IN ON THIS. >> YOU KNOW, THINKING ABOUT THE COMPLAINT-DRIVEN PROGRAM THAT YOU ARE KIND OF DESCRIBING, I
[00:30:01]
THINK WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE ONE NEIGHBOR REALLY UPSET ABOUT A SHORT-TERM RENTAL, AND THEY CALL FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY, AND THEY SAY, WELL, THAT'S THREE STRIKES, KICK THEM OUT OF TOWN. HOW WILL YOUR DEPARTMENT NAVIGATE THAT WITH PD AND THE COMPLAINT-DRIVEN SYSTEM.WHAT QUALIFIES A LEGITIMATE COMPLAINT VERSUS AN ANGRY NEIGHBOR, HOW WOULD YOU RECONCILE THAT.
>> SO, WHEN A COMPLAINT COMES IN, IT WILL BE INVESTIGATED WITH THE PD, WHETHER THAT'S BUILDING SAFETY OR CODE COMPLIANCE TO DETERMINE WHAT INFRACTION ACTUALLY EXISTS, IF AN INFRACTION IS DETERMINED, THEN, THAT IS STRIKE ONE. LET'S SAY WE GET COMPLAINTS SAYING, WELL, NOTHING'S BEEN DONE ABOUT THE (INDISCERNIBLE) OR THIS OR THAT, FRIDAY NIGHT, SATURDAY NIGHT, SUBBED NIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT AND THEY'RE ALSO HAVING A PARTY AND THE MUSIC'S VERY LOUD. THAT'S A SEPARATE INFRACTION THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND VERIFY. AND OF COURSE, THERE'LL BE INSTANCES WHERE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION, LET'S SAY, WE MISSED THE NOISE INFRACTION, BUT, WHATEVER WE CAN IDENTIFY, WE WILL THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATE AND WORK. AGAIN, AS DAVID MENTIONED, THE WAY THE REGULATIONS LEAN TOWARDS THE PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, IT IS DIFFICULT, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. BUT, WE ALSO NEED TO HAVE A BETTER DATABASE OF HOW MANY SHORT-TERM RENTALS WE HAVE, AND THROUGH THAT, HAVING THAT HOT LINEBACKER, WE MIGHT GET THE COMPLAINTS SOONER OR WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO VERIFY THIS AND HAVE A DATABASE ON, OKAY, THIS PROPERTY. WE DO THAT ALREADY, WE KNOW THERE'S ONE SPECIFIC PROPERTY, WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON IT AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A COORDINATION EFFORT BETWEEN THE PROPERTY OWNER AND OURSELVES AND WE WORK DILIGENTLY, THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY THOSE WHO JUST PAY THE FINE AND CONTINUE TO DO WHAT THEY'RE DOING. THAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT, WE'RE HOPEFUL WITH THIS PERMITTING PROCESS, THERE'LL BE MORE REGULATION IN THE SYSTEM. SO, THE STRIKES WILL NOT BE BECAUSE THERE WERE CALLS AND NOTHING'S BEEN DONE, AGAIN, WE WILL WORK WITH AND INFORM, AND LOOK, AND CONTACT THE PROPERTY OWNER, AND NOW, WITH THIS, WITH THE QUALITY INSPECTIONS THAT WE'RE REQUESTING, I THINK WE WILL HAVE A MAJORITY AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT A MAJORITY OF THE SHORT-TERM RENTAL OPERATORS WILL KNOW THAT THE CITY WANTS TO WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE AND RESPECT THE
RESIDENTS AROUND THEM. >> AND IN TERMS OF THE FINES, IT'S PER VIOLATION, SO, IF THEY RECEIVED A $500 VIOLATION, THEY COULD RECEIV THAT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REPEAT OFFENDERS?
>> YES. ABSOLUTELY. >> SO WE HAVE SOMETHING THERE,
>> SO, IF IT'S A ZONING VIOLATION, DEPENDING ON THE TYPE
OF VIOLATION. >> IT'S EITHER $2,000 FOR HEALTH OR SAFETY OR $100 FOR VIOLATION.
>> AND THIS PROGRAM WILL ENABLE US TO AT LEAST IDENTIFY WHERE THE GAPS ARE OR WHERE THE DISCONNECTS ARE AND MAY BE IT WILL ALLOW FOR IMPROVEMENT OR FINE-TUNING. ON THE FLIP SIDE, IT MAY BE THAT IT IS NOT WORKING AND MAY BE WE FALL BACK ON WHAT WE WERE DOING BUT WE HAVE TO GIVE IT A SHOT BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND HOW SENSITIVE THIS ISSUE IS.
>> I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT ONE KEY POINT FROM THE PACKET THAT THE RESEARCH THAT YOU HAD DONE WITH THE CITY OF ARLINGTON AND WHAT THEY HAD DRAFTED WAS SPECIFICALLY AN ENTERTAINMENT ZONE AROUND THEIR ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, WITH THE STADIUMS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. WE DON'T HAVE AN ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT, SO TO SPEAK, AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR SHORT-TERM RENTALS ARE AROUND THE LAKE SHORE, WE'RE HAVING TO BE MORE
CREATIVE. >> WE WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE
>> AND SO, IN THAT CASE, AND AT THAT POINT, THAT'S STILL AWHILE
DOWN THE ROAD, BUT... >> I UNDERSTOOD THE PROPERTIES ON THAT AREA NEAR SAPPHIRE BAY, INCLUDE PROHIBITION OF
>> THE TCR. >> THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.
THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE PRETTY CAREFULLY.
>> SO, PERSONALLY, I'M IN FAVOR OF DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN WITHIN THE LEGAL BOUNDARIES TO PUT LIMITATIONS, REGULATIONS, WHATEVER ON THESE PROPERTIES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE OUR RESIDENTS CONSTANTLY BANGING DOWN OUR DOORS WITH HORROR STORIES OF WHAT THEY'RE SEEING FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD HOME THAT IS USED TO BE THE QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW IT'S TURNED INTO ALL OF THIS
CRAZINESS. >> AND YOU KNOW, WE DO UNDERSTAND THEIR CONCERNS IT'S JUST WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES
[00:35:01]
CHECK THE BOXES AND MAKE SURE SO THAT WHEN WE DO NOTICE THAT THERE IS AN INFRACTION, WE HAVE CHECKED ALL THE BOXES AND SOME OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE ACTUALLY REALLY SUPPORTING US AND HELPING US IN DETERMINING WHAT THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE.>> SO, COUNCIL, DO WE HAVE CONSENSUS TO START A PILOT PROGRAM ON THIS, A ONE-YEAR PILOT PROGRAM. THE FEES? WE'RE
GOOD WITH THE FEE? >> WE'RE GOING TO REVISIT, MAKE SURE, AND THEN, WHICH EVER COMPANY LOOKS LIKE IT'S OFFERING
THE BEST SERVICE FOR US. >> WE WANT A ONE-YEAR FREE
. >> WE'RE GOING TO SEE IF WE COULD WORK ON A SIX-MONTH TRIAL, IF THAT DOESN'T WORK WE'LL GO WITH A ONE-YEAR TRIAL AND WE'LL PRESENT THAT TO YOU, COUNCIL, IN TERMS OF, YOU NOR, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE'LL HAVE THE ORDINANCE FORWARDED TO YOU, AND IT WILL HAVE TO BE APPROVED IN REGULAR SESSION SO WE'LL BRING THAT BEFORE YOU AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE WITH THE PROCESS. AGAIN, IF IT'S LESS THAN $50,000, OBVIOUSLY, YOU WILL NOT GET TO SEE IT BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU'LL BE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING AND WHICH
COMPANY WE GO WITH. >> AND WHEN DO YOU EXPECT WE'LL
SEE THAT ON THE NEXT AGENDA? >> NEXT WEEK? NO, JUST KIDDING. IF YOU WOULD GIVE US ABOUT 45 DAYS TO VERIFY WHERE WE ARE, WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT WITHIN 60 DAYS WE'LL HAVE ALL IN PLACE.
>> DID YOU GET THE CLARIFYING WHAT IS A BEDROOM?
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> DID YOU HAVE ANY CHANGES OR
AMENDMETS AS WELL? >> (INDISTINCT CHATTER).
>> THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, YES. >> OKAY.
>> PARKING. ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. >> ARE WE EXPLICITLY, (INAUDIBLE) ARE WE EXPLICIT THAT THERE'S NO ON-STREET PARKING.
WHAT I READ IS PARKING WOULD BE IN THE DRIVEWAY.
>> THE DRIVEWAY OR THE GARAGE, CORRECT.
>> OKAY. >> BUT, IF THE OWNER IS THERE,
CAN THEY PARK ON THE STREET? >> THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CLARIFY IN THE ORDINANCE WHICH MAKES SENSE. IT'S THE OWNER.
>> I WOULD SUGGEST WE EXAMINE THE STREET THAT THE PROPERTY ARE ONTO DETERMINE IF WE DO NEED TO DO A NO-PARKING FOR PUBLIC SAFETY REASONS TO BE SURE THAT FIRE TRUCKS CAN GET DOWN THE
STREET. >> ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS COUNCIL? >> ALL RIGHT, I THINK YOU HAVE
WHAT YOU NEED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
[4. DISCUSS CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS]
>> THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, THAT IS THE END OF OUR WORK SESSION. SO, COUNCIL, PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE CONSENT AGENDA, ARE THERE ANY ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE PULLED FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION? I DO KNOW THAT WE ARE PLANNING TO PULL ITEM 7F FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION OF
PRESENTATION. ANY OTHERS? >> YES, SIR. 7-F.
>> IT'S A LICENSE AGREEMENT. (INDISCERNIBLE)
>> I THINK THAT'S A SIGNIFICANT ITEM, I WOULDN'T MIND HAVING THAT SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT, THE RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE?
>> 7-D? >> WE'RE GOING TO ALSO PULL ITEM 7-D FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSIDERATION.
>> OKAY. >> ANY OTHERS, COUNCIL?
>> AND JUST, RICHARD'S HERE IF YOU WANT TO DO THE EXECUTIVE
SESSION NOW. >> ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO GO
[2. EXECUTIVE SESSION]
AHEAD AND MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, I'LL READ THAT ITEMA >> ALL RIGHT, WE'VE COMPLETED OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION. WE'LL TAKE A SHORT BREAK AND
