recommended by staff and the Planning & Zoning Commission <br /> (P&Z). <br /> Discussion ensued, and the Board received input from <br /> Emergency Services Director John King and Fire Marshal John <br /> Duran, regarding the proposed fire safety regulations. <br /> Director Boling spoke on two clauses, a Compliance Timeframe <br /> Provision, and a No Impairment of Contracts Provision, that <br /> were included in the proposed Ordinance. <br /> Discussion ensued about identifying rentals to make sure owners <br /> are complying with the appropriate regulations. <br /> Director Boling informed the Board that staff is considering <br /> hiring a consultant who would provide specific addresses of <br /> short-term rental units. <br /> The Board CONSENSUS was that it would be worthwhile to <br /> hire the consultant discussed by Director Boling. <br /> Director Boling replied that staff would report back to the <br /> Board regarding the consultant. <br /> In response to questions posed by the Board and a citizen, Clerk <br /> of Circuit Court and Comptroller Jeffrey R. Smith discussed the <br /> collection of the Tourist Development Tax on the rental units. <br /> Deliberations ensued regarding the proposed local license fee, <br /> frequency of inspections, and various other aspects of the local <br /> license. <br /> Commissioner O'Bryan elaborated on his suggestions to have a <br /> three-year local license and inspection; require an updated State <br /> rental license annually; set a maximum cap of ten people per <br /> vacation rental; to grandfather in any rental home that is <br /> currently licensed based upon the number of bedrooms listed <br /> today for two occupants per bedroom, plus two additional <br /> persons; and rewrite the entire noise regulation section. <br /> County Attorney Dylan Reingold asserted that the idea of <br /> grandfathering the existing larger-capacity units to a two plus <br /> two occupancy cap would be beneficial for assisting the County <br /> in terms of potential liability. <br /> The Chairman called a recess at 12:37 p.m., and reconvened the <br /> meeting at 1:08 p.m.,with all members present. <br /> Board of County Commission Minutes <br /> June 21,2016 Page 5 <br />
