Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final August 15, 2023 <br />C. PUBLIC NOTICE ITEMS <br />10.C.1. 23-0666 Public Notice of Public Hearing for August 29, 2023, to Consider an Ordinance <br />Concerning Fines For Vacation Rental Violations <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />County Administrator John Titkanich requested withdrawal of the Ordinance in <br />light of the proposed State legislature bill which threatened to preempt home rule <br />and limit County regulations regarding short-term rentals. Chairman Earman <br />agreed the matter deserved further consideration in light of the legislative climate. <br />Administrator Titkanich discussed the existing fee schedule and posited there may <br />be room to enhance fees without resorting to enhanced fines as described in the <br />Ordinance. County Attorney Bill DeBraal expressed his support for a <br />wait-and-see approach with regard to the legislature. Commissioner Flescher <br />noted the County's policies have brought additional scrutiny, and the County <br />should be prepared to defend home rule. <br />Dr. Miles Conway suggested following the rules in place to revoke licenses as a <br />means of censure against rentals which violated County regulations. The Board <br />and staff discussed the pros and cons of this process. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Loar, seconded by Commissioner <br />Flescher, to approve the deletion of the Public Hearing from the August 29, <br />2023 Agenda, and to approve tabling the Ordinance. The motion carried by <br />the following vote: <br />Aye: 5 - Chairman Earman, Vice Chairman Adams, Commissioner Flescher, <br />Commissioner Loar, and Commissioner Moss <br />10.C.2. 23-0685 Public Notice of Public Hearing for August 29, 2023, to Consider an Ordinance <br />Imposing An Additional Cent of Tourist Development Taxes and Reallocating the <br />Authorized Uses of Tourist Development Tax Revenue <br />Attachments: Staff Report <br />County Attorney Bill DeBraal read the public notice into the record. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />11.
