The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 4-0 <br />vote (Vice Chairman Davis absent), the Motion carried. <br />14. COMMISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER PETER D. O'BRYAN, CHAIRMAN <br />14.A.1. SUPPORTING VACATION RENTAL LEGISLATION <br />Chairman O'Bryan asked fellow Commissioners to consider a Resolution supporting <br />vacation rental legislation, which would overturn the recent bill that was passed limiting the <br />authority of local governments to regulate vacation rentals. If this is approved, he said he would <br />present it at the next session of the Legislative Delegation. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, to approve <br />Resolution 2013-129, urging the Florida Legislature to <br />adopt and Governor Rick Scott to support legislative <br />changes providing the ability for local governments to <br />regulate vacation rentals; directing certified copies of this <br />Resolution to be provided to various officials, <br />organizations and cities. <br />Daniel Lamson, Executive Director, 737-B Timber Ridge Trail, read a statement on <br />behalf of the Indian River Neighborhood Association, urging the Florida Legislature to repeal the <br />provisions of the Florida Statute, which prevents local regulations of vacation rentals. <br />Commissioner Solari suggested substituting the second statement in paragraph four with: <br />"deleting the restriction preventing local laws, ordinances, or regulations from regulating the use <br />of vacation rentals based solely on their classification, use, or occupancy." <br />BK i44 PG 656 <br />December 3, 2013 21 <br />
