A
B
You
Mr
manager,
good
afternoon
now,
mayor
members
of
council
I,
wanted
to
provide
an
update
on
the
short-term
rentals
I.
Have
a
few
slides
here
wanted
to
talk
about
the
current
numbers
that
we
have
in
the
city,
as
well
as
the
current
ordinances
that
are
in
effect
after
the
moratorium,
recently
expired
and
then
go
into
a
little
bit
about
the
enforcement
efforts
that
we
are
undertaking.
B
There
are
153
permitted
in
licensed
short-term
rentals
in
Columbus.
The
most
recent
data
that
we've
gotten
from
the
Columbus
Convention
Visitors
Bureau
showed
that
there
were
273
active
rentals
in
Columbus
as
of
April
7th,
so
that
means
there's
about
120
rentals
out
there
operating
that
have
not
gotten
the
proper
permits.
B
After
the
the
moratorium
expired
on
the
15th
of
May
through
May
24th
last
Tuesday.
We
only
saw
five
new
permits
come
in,
so
there
was
not
a
rush.
There
was
not
people
beating
down
our
door
to
get
new
rental
permits.
After
that,
90-day
moratorium
and
I
checked
again
right
before
I
came
out,
and
so
we've
only
issued
an
additional
permit
in
the
week
since
the
24th,
so
I
wanted
to
go
over.
Our
current
ordinance,
which
is
23-008,
is
the
ordinance
number.
B
This
was
the
ordinance
passed
by
Council
on
January
31st
of
this
year,
so
just
wanted
to
run
through
some
highlights
of
what
this
ordinance
requires
of
short-term
rentals.
It
requires
an
annual
permit
to
be
obtained
from
inspections
and
codes.
The
application
process
includes
all
these
items
you
see
here,
which
includes
a
background
check.
B
The
newest
requirement
is
the
proof
of
neighbor
notification.
That
was
something
that
was
added
when
the
ordinance
was
approved
at
the
end
of
January,
so
they
they
must
mail
certified
letters
to
their
neighbors.
It
requires
an
inspection
by
a
building
inspector
to
come
out
and
make
sure
that
the
doors
work
that
there's
you
know
proper
Paths
of
egress.
That
there's
smoke
detectors
that
there's
all
those
Life
Safety
things
that
you
would
expect
to
have
in
a
safe
tourist
accommodation.
So
we
will
go
out
and
do
that
yearly
and
then
there
is
the
40
fee.
B
The
ordinance
also
included
a
defined
occupant
load
of
two
occupants
per
bedroom,
plus
one
additional
person.
So
if
you
have
a
four
bedroom
house,
that's
eight
people
in
the
bedroom.
One
additional
person
is
a
total
of
nine
occupants
that
are
permitted
in
that
rental
requires
a
sticker
provided
by
inspections
and
codes.
The
stickers
are
two
by
two:
they
just
say
short-term
rental
permit
with
a
number.
It
says:
2023-001
for
example.
So
it's
a
pretty
simple
sticker
doesn't
draw
your
eye.
B
It's
not
sticking
out
there
drawing
a
lot
of
attention
and
it
also
included
the
caps
in
the
city's
historic
districts
which
we
had.
A
lot
of
conversation
on.
Several
of
these
numbers
were
amended
from
what
the
original
proposed
ordinance
was,
and
so
these
are
all
the
final
caps
that
we
are
operating
on
at
this
time
and
so
enforcement
I
know
we've
gotten
a
lot
of.
A
B
B
So
now
that
we
have
this
revised
ordinance
in
place,
we've
instituted
a
proactive
enforcement
policy
so
before
it
was
strictly
complaint,
based
which
that's
how
we
normally
operate
with
all
of
our
issues,
not
the
short-term
rentals
but
Tall
Grass
waste,
those
kinds
of
things.
It's
a
large
majority,
90
plus
of
of
our
work,
is
done
off
complaints,
but
with
short-term
rentals.
Specifically,
we
can
now
switch
into
a
proactive
enforcement
policy
that
will
begin
with
receiving
that
report
from
The
Visitors
Bureau
every
month.
B
So
the
ordinance
talks
about
this,
but
they
provide
us
a
report
through
software
that
they
have
that
lists
all
of
the
rentals
in
the
city.
We
can
compare
that
to
the
ones
that
are
permitted
and
that
spits
out
the
ones
that
are
are
not
permitted
so
every
month,
we'll
get
a
list
like
I
said
right
now
we're
look
we're
working
on
a
list
of
120..
Hopefully,
once
we
get
that
under
control,
it
will
just
be
a
handful
of
rentals
every
month
that
we'll
have
to
do
some
enforcement
measures
against
it.
B
So
the
first
step
will
be
to
mail
owners
of
non-compliant
rentals,
certified
mail,
giving
them
14
days
to
comply
and
get
registered
with
the
city.
This
is
typical
cool
of
what
we
do
for
all
of
our
code
enforcement
violations.
The
first
step
is
always
to
make
sure
the
owner
gets
served
with
proper
notification.
So
that
is
the
plan
here.
If
the
owner
fails
to
comply
after
those
14
days,
then
we
will
attempt
to
sat
the
owner
operator
of
the
rental.
B
So
if
it's
a
local
owner,
an
officer
is
going
to
go
to
the
owner's
house
knock
on
their
door
hand
them
the
ticket.
If
it's
an
out
of
town
owner,
you
know
we're
going
to
visit
the
rental,
often
try
to
find
a
cleaning
crew,
a
maintenance
person.
Somebody
involved
in
the
operation
of
the
rental
that
we
can.
We
can
physically
site
initial
enforcement
efforts,
will
focus
on
the
historic
districts,
because
those
are
the
capped
areas.
So
we
want
to
bring
those
back
down
if
they're
over
the
cap.
B
We
want
to
bring
them
back
down
within
that
cap,
so
we've
actually
already
sent
out
over
40
letters
within
those
historic
districts,
so
people
started
receiving
those
last
week.
So
we're
getting
a
lot
of
calls
about
those.
The
goal
is
within
the
next
two
weeks
to
have
letters
out
to
all
under
120
of
those
rentals
and
hopefully
bring
them
back
into
compliance
very
soon,
and
so
that
that
was
the
update
and
I
said.
I
know.
There's
some
questions
so
I'll
be
happy
to
answer.
Council.
C
B
C
B
The
initial
notification
process
will
be
the
same
that
they
need
to
come.
You
know
the
letter
basically
says
that
you
need
to
contact
us
in
order
to
become
compliant.
You
need
to
come,
see
us,
and
but
if
there
is
one
that's
over
over
capped
and
they
come
into
our
office,
you
know
we're
gonna,
you
know
inform
them
that
this
part
of
towns
caps.
You
know
you
are
unable
to
legally
operate
a
rental
in
this
location
and
then,
if
it's
continues
to
operate,
we
would
cite
them
and
have
them
go
to
court
for
that
violation.
D
So
why
give
them
the
impression
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
be
allowed
to
become
under
compliance
when
when
we
know
that
they
won't,
because
we're
already
capped?
Why
not
send
them?
Letters
saying
that
you
do
not
comply
with
our
ordinances,
therefore
cease
and
desist
the
operation
of
your
short-term
rental.
It's.
B
B
C
E
On
the
notifying
The
Neighbors,
which
seems
to
be
causing
a
lot
of
chaos,
because
this
the
certified
letters,
a
lot
of
the
people
who
have
airbnbs,
are
and
have
neighbors
who
are
not,
who
either
rent
and
have
a
landlord
that
is
out
of
state
and
unavailable
and
to
send
them
a
certified
letter
to
have
them,
acknowledge
that
they
have
an
Airbnb
next
door
and
rely
on
the
person
who's
out
of
state
to
send
that
letter
back
is
holding
up
a
lot
of
holding
up
a
lot
of
re-licensing.
E
B
The
the
ordinance
is
requires
the
the
adjoining
property
owners
to
be
notified,
so
it's
only
those
properties
that
you
share,
a
property
line
with
that
you
must
notify.
We
will
accept
if
they
mail
it
certified
and
they
can.
You
can
go
to
the
USPS
website
put
in
the
tracking
number
and
show
that
it
was
delivered.
That's
acceptable
proof
to
us
that
the
short-term
rental
operator
has
done
their
due
diligence
to
let
the
neighbors
so.
B
E
So
their
license
is
just
in
limbo.
Until
then
yes,
I
mean
that
that
makes
does
that,
doesn't
that
that
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
There's
got
to
be
like
a
time
limit
on
how
long
I
mean
if
that
person
has
moved
and
there's
no
there's
no
forwarding
address
like
I
mean
it's,
that's
that's
that
doesn't
work
in
my
mind,
so.
F
B
Whole
letter
back
to
you
that
hey
we
tried
to
deliver
it
and
we
couldn't
deliver
it
and
so
we'll
take
you
know
that
that
letter
and
hey
we
sent
it.
Here's
the
tax
records.
Here's
Susan,
who
here
is
the
neighbor's
mailing
address.
You
know
that
they
tried
to
deliver
it
that
person's.
Not
there
anymore,
you
know,
that's
still
acceptable
to
us.
They
just
have
to
prove
that
they've
made.
You
know
done
their
due
diligence
to
try
to
notify
the
neighbor.
G
E
I
I
mean
I
I,
just
I,
think
I
think
that's
causing
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
headache
for
for
those
Airbnb
owners
and
and
then
they
sit
in
limbo
and
then
they
don't
have
a
a
license
and
then
they're
out
of
compliance,
and
then
they
lose
their
license.
And
now
we
have
caps
and
it's
it's
kind
of
spiraling
the
whole
process
into
into
chaos.
E
My
my
other
question
is
like
how
are
we
determining
the
120
that
are
out
of
compliance,
or
we
just
I've
had
several
several
people
reach
out
to
me
and
say
that
they've
gotten
a
letter
from
your
office
saying
that
they
are
their
their
property,
is
not
in
compliance
when
it's
not
a
property,
it's
not
an
Airbnb
property
or
it's
never
been
a
Airbnb
property,
and
so
are
we
just?
E
That
can
you
walk
us
through
that
process
as
well?
Yes,.
B
So
the
the
report
that
we
get
from
The
Visitors
Bureau,
you
know
lists
the
address
of
the
rental.
It
provides
a
link
to
the
advertisement
on
Airbnb
or
one
of
those
other
other
websites,
and
then
it
provides
the
owner's
information.
It'll
tell
you
when
the
last
stay
was
booked.
There
it'll
tell
you
when
the
advertisement
was
changed
last
when
they
changed
their
daily
rates,
so
it
gives
some
some
information,
and
so
this
first
round
of
letters
that
we've
received
received
the
same
calls
from
the
first
pass
letters
that
went
out.
B
Several
of
them
were
rentals
that
operated
maybe
two
or
three
four
years
ago
that
are
no
longer
being
operated.
The
house
was
sold
that
changed
ownership
and
the
new
owners
living
there
and
operating
the
rental,
but
the
software
was
still
flagging
it
as
a
rental.
So
you
know
we
got
with
the
the
citizens
that
called-
and
you
know,
try
to
get
it
get
it
straightened
out.
B
But
it's
I
said
we
don't
have
the
staff
to
go
through
all
120
rentals
and
try
to
confirm
offhand
what
it
is
so
we're
taking
the
report
which
again
it's
you
know,
mining
the
data
of
all
these
websites
to
pull
out
this
information
and
there's
several
different
softwares
that
do
it
and
they're
generating
that
report,
sending
us
to
it
and
we're
creating
a
code
case
and
sending
the
letters.
So
somebody
gets
a
letter
and
they're
not
operating
it.
B
C
G
Miss
Pruitt
I,
I
guess
the
the
response
that
you
gave
to
councilor
Crabb
about
the
letter
was
a
little
disconcerting.
G
Suppose
that
and
I
don't
know
that
these
numbers
are
correct.
Okay,
this
is
just
a
supposition.
There
are
35
permitted
rentals
in
the
downtown
historic
district
and
we
already
have
35
rentals,
and
if
the
36th
person
sends
you
a
letter
and
says
I
want
to
open
an
Airbnb
and
you
send
them
back
a
letter
that
says
you
have
14
days
to
comply,
there's
no
way
they
can
comply
and
I.
Don't
understand
why
the
letter
doesn't
say:
there's
no
way
you
can
comply.
G
You
know
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
not
a.
This
is
not
a
big,
would
not
be
a
big
secretarial
issue
or
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
to
know
that
in
these
districts
we're
at
the
limit,
and
so
if
we
get
another
one
saying
we
want
to
go
in
there,
we
send
them
this
letter.
G
If
we
get
if
they're
not
at
the
limit,
we
get
a
letter,
we
send
them
this
letter,
you
know
I,
don't
understand
why
you
give
the
impression
that
you
can
comply
when
you
cannot
comply
and.
B
G
B
And
so
in
my
office,
the
permitting
and
the
review
of
Where
the
rentals
are
and
if
there
are
caps
and
if
they're
permitted
to
go
in
that
area
is
done
really
by
the
building
side,
the
plans,
examiners
and
the
building
inspectors
and
then
but
the
enforcement,
the
actual
going
out
and
citing
people
and
writing
tickets
for
operating
without
the
permit
is
done
by
the
code
enforcement
side.
And
so
the
one
letter
was
just
an
effort
to
make
sure
code
enforcement
had
a
streamlined,
as
you
know,
process
as
much
as
possible.
B
G
H
Just
curious
how
the
how
many
nights
a
rental
is
available
per
year?
How
does
that
affect
just
the
cap
because,
obviously,
someone
who's
just
making
it
available
for
the
summer
for
the
winter
or
a
few
weekends
a
year
doesn't
have
near
the
impact
of
someone
who
has
rented
out
all
year.
Long
was
that
considered
and
there's?
Is
there
a
way
to
allow
more
the
partial
availability
home
some
some
more
access.
H
Have
clarify
I'm
saying
that
like
is
it
I'm
only
going
to
make
it
available
to
anyone
just
for
the
summer
right?
So
not
so,
some
people
making
a
whole
business
like
that
that
served
business
model
is
available
all
year
round
versus
someone
who
this
is
my
house
I
just
want
to
make
it
available
for
a
period
of
time
right
so.
B
H
Understood
that
I
guess
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
cap,
because
if
you've
got
35
homes,
who
are
only
available
30
nights
a
year
that
doesn't
have
a
big
impact
at
35
that
are
available
all
year
round.
That
has
a
significant
impact
on
the
availability,
and
so
is
that
considered
into
the
cap.
So
or
is
it
kind
of
a
first
come
first
serve
if
you've
been
doing
it
in
your
grandfather,
Dan
that
you've
got
a
priority
so.
H
B
E
Has
a
is
noted
is
in
the
process
of
notifying
all
the
neighbors
and
their
business
license
goes
out
of
date
and
they
can't
get
a
hold
of
the
people
or
they're
waiting
for
they're
waiting
for
that
certified
mail
to
come
back.
For
who
knows
how
long?
E
How
do
they
come
out
of
compliance
or
how
like
how
much?
How
long
do
they
have
while
they're
out
of
compliance,
because
if
we,
if
we're
capping,
then
do
and
I'm
number
35
and
I
come
out
of
compliance?
Can
counselor
Tucker
come
in
with
Airbnb
like
what's
my
do?
I
have
a
grace
period
so.
B
We
are,
as
we
have
been
in
contact
with
many
of
The
Operators,
we're
also
in
contact
with
the
business
licenses.
So
anybody
that
had
a
2022
business
license
is
still
within
that
cap
and
we
will
still
work
with
them
until
they
can
meet
all
these
new
requirements
and
get
their
2023
business
license.
So.
B
Have
submitted
the
documentation
to
business
license,
you
know
to
start
that
process
and
business
licenses
processing
it.
So
all
those
with
22.
B
You
know
business
licenses
were
working
with
them
to
give
them
time
to
comply
with
these
new
requirements.
We
have
gotten
a
couple
calls
you
know
that
they
don't
plan
on
renewing
or
you
know,
are
no
longer.
We
also
had
some
that
are
owner
occupied,
so
we
were
able
to
take
those
out
of
the
cap,
but
anyone
that
was
operating
that
had
a
2022
business
license.
We're
still
working
with
you
know
to
allow
them
time
to
comply
with
the
new
requirements.
E
So
so
I
mean
does
that
do
so?
Does
that
mean
that
they
have
a
great
spirit
out
on
that?
Didn't
really
answer?
I
mean
they're
working
with
them,
but
as
I
mean
do
they
pay
the
business
license
penalties
if
they
can't
renew
their
business
license
because
they
can't
come
into
compliance
because
they're
waiting
for
on
the
mail,
no.
B
So
we've
and
I've
had
conversations
with
Yvonne
Ivy,
since
the
rules
did
change.
You
know
for
this
subset
of
people
trying
to
renew
their
licenses
that
there
wouldn't
be
any
type
of
you
know,
penalties,
since
they
were
trying
to
comply
with
the
new.
The
new
ordinance.
E
Gotcha
I
think
David
I
think
we
have
a
couple
business
or
Airbnb
owners
in
here.
If
can
we
give
them
a
chance
to
ask
questions.
C
Well,
it's
not
typically
during
a
work
session
because
they
have
access
to
notifying
each
counselor.
But
if
a
counselor
wants
to
make
a
motion
that
they'd
be
heard,
I
mean.
E
C
Can,
if
you
want
to
all
right
motion
second
to
let
them
be
heard,
is
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
any
post,
okay,.
F
Good
afternoon,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Jared
Huckabee.
This
is
Dave
goings,
we're
short-term
rental
owners
in
the
city
just
wanted
to
bring
in
some
concerns.
I
know
that
we've
heard
a
lot
from
concerned
citizens
we
haven't
heard
the
other
side.
Some
of
our
discussions
with
some
of
you
all
throughout
this
process
has
made
it
clear
that
not
not
both
sides
have
come
forward
and
we
haven't
really
known
as
much
about
this.
We
haven't
been
notified
as
much
so
just
like
to
present
some
concerns
and
get
some
thoughts.
Ask
some
questions.
F
F
I
do
much
of
the
work
from
cleaning
to
maintenance
and
everything
myself
so
by
every
measure.
I
would
say
the
city,
the
gas,
the
hosting
platform,
the
neighbors
I
run
mine,
ideally
and
I'd
like
to
say
at
the
outset
that
many
of
us,
short-term
rental
owners,
are
for
some
form
of
Regulation
of
this
industry.
It's
like
no,
it's
like
every
other
industry.
It's
going
to
require
some
form
of
Regulation.
Could.
F
The
record-
please,
yes,
absolutely
14,
23
16th
Avenue.
Thank
you,
I
know
as
a
resident
of
the
park
district.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
be
overrun
by
short-term
rentals,
either
creating
constant
problems,
I
I,
think
in
order
to
strike
that
balance.
F
This
has
to
be
implemented
reasonably
and-
and
that's
where
I
think
this
is
fallen
short.
This
ordinance
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
just
a
minute
on
how
I
think
so,
but
I
like
to
focus
on
a
few
questions
just
to
urge
some
of
you
to
consider.
F
And
you
you
know
we
we
won't
know,
we
don't
know
until
we
actually
apply
that
I've
submitted
a
open
records
request
to
see
what
the
record
of
enforcement
was
and
I
think.
As
Mr
Pruitt
had
mentioned,
there's
been
43
notifications
over
the
last
24
months
of
out
of
compliance
business
owners
and
of
at
least
120
that
are
out
of
compliance.
How
else
are
they
supposed
to
to
know
to
get
in
compliance
or
how
are
they
to
have
known
before
this
to
get
in
compliance?
F
And
now
then,
as
he's
stated,
there'd
be
no
opportunity
and
and
I
guess
in
what
other
instance
do
we
wait
to
enforce
our
current
ordinance
until
there's
stricter
measures
in
place?
I
I
don't
see
that
as
a
typical
standard
across
the
board,
we
typically
see
how
our
ordinances
are
affected
and
then
and
then
begin
to
enforce
or
increase
the
measures
if
needed,
but
we
don't
know
how
they
would
work
because
we
have
an
enforcement.
F
Thank
you,
and
you
know
Mr
proven
he
was
speaking
on
this
at
the
the
zoning
board
meeting
in
December.
You
know
he'd
mentioned
that
there
was
a
lack
of
enforcement
on
these
unregistered
short-term
rentals
and
that
they
had
not
done
a
good
enough
job,
informing
some
of
the
short-terminal
owners
of
their
of
their
compliance
need,
and
so
now,
then,
that
there
is
a
cap
there
would
be
no
opportunity
for
them.
I
F
I
think
that
leverage
of
another
point
on
the
cap-
you
know
previous
Council
meetings
and
in
previous
zoning
board
meetings.
There
was
a
20
cap
proposed
as
a
as
Savannah
has
done,
as
other
cities
have
done,
and
then
in
in
the
process
of
that
one
meeting
it
was
then
slashed.
It
was
proposed.
F
Do
10
because
it
didn't
work
for
them
or
they
don't
think
it's
worked
for
them
and
then
in
the
process
of
that
meeting
it
was
then
slashed
down
to
five,
which
is
five
percent,
is
roughly
what
we
have
now
according
to
the
numbers.
So
this
isn't
an
industry
like
anything
else
where
it
can
just
pop
up
overnight.
It
can
reestablish
overnight.
If,
if
we
cap
it
too
low,
then
the
industry
goes
away
and
there's
no
way
to
to
regain
it,
to
regain
those
short-term
rentals
for
Anita's.
F
You
know
for
people
visiting
the
city
most
of
my
occupants
at
my
short-term
rental.
Are
families
come
to
visit
their
coming
to
visit
their
soldiers
on
on
base
and
we
can
host
a
family
which
would
normally
require
three
or
four
hotel
rooms
to
host,
and
they
just
wouldn't
be
able
to
afford
to
come
down
and
see
their
soldiers
gradually.
F
F
I
think
we've
already
seen
indications
of
how
this
would
go
if
we
were
to
move
forward
in
implementing
this.
From
my
own
personal
experience
and
I'll
share
some
of
that
now,
when
I,
when
I
went
to
go
renew
my
business
license,
I
was
informed
of
the
new
requirements
and
that
these
would
it
was
communicated
that
I
would
have
to
get
to
the
business
tax
office.
F
That
I
would
have
to
get
my
certificate
of
occupancy
renewed
prior
to
with
the
new
standards
in
place
prior
to
getting
my
business
license
for
2023.,
so
I
was
confused.
Why
I
was
beholden
to
an
ordinance
that
was
not
yet
implemented
and,
as
I
began,
to
complete
some
of
these
items
to
renew
my
certificate
of
occupancy,
which
included
the
neighbor
notification
that
councilor
kogel
talked
about.
F
I
was
I
was
met
with
a
lot
of
confusion,
suspicion,
rejection
by
my
neighbors
and
not
because
they
were
surprised
to
learn
that
I
was
running
short-term
rental.
They
well
knew
that
I
was
running
short-term
rental
and
we
had
a
great
working
relationship.
They
were
confused
so
why
I
would
have
to
do
this
at
all.
Why
I
would
need
their
acknowledgment
of
me
running
my
me
renting
my
property
and
they
refused
to
sign,
and
so
I
can't
can't
blame
it.
F
I
I
didn't
think
it
was
reasonable
either
whenever
I
took
what
I
had,
which
was
the
certified
return
receipt
that
employees
in
the
office
were
unsure
and
uncertain
on
whether
that
would
be
good
enough
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
if
yeah
I
know
we've
mentioned,
that
would
be
enough,
but
it
it
wasn't
up
to
this
point
and
it
was
communicated
that
wasn't
going
to
be
enough,
and
you
know,
there's
I
can
accomplish
the
same.
F
This
use
the
same
form
of
notice
to
accomplish
an
eviction
and
to
kick
someone
out
of
their
property
and
I.
Can
you
know,
go
through
what
seems
to
be
a
lot
less
rigorous
process
to
to
open
up
a
liquor,
store
or
tobacco
shop,
or
something
like
that
with
a
simple
notice,
a
zoning
notice
requirement.
Then
then,
the
kid
that
I
can
to
just
rent
my
property.
F
So,
for
a
lot
of
those
reasons,
I
think
that
this
ordinance
is
making
short-term
rental
owners
go
to
an
extreme
and
an
unreasonable
standard
just
to
rent
their
property.
I
know
I've
spoken
with
several
others.
David
include
who
and
some
others
who
are
who
are
unlicensed
and
would
like
to
be
licensed,
and
when
the
moratorium
is
in
place,
this
is
the
first
day
it
hurt.
F
They
had
no
opportunity
to
get
licensed
and
when
they
tried,
they
were,
of
course
rejected
so
with
only
43
notices
of
the
potentially
120
or
more
unlicensed
operating
rentals.
How
else
are
they
supposed
to
have
known?
How
are
they
supposed
to
become
into
compliance
up
to
this
point,
and
how
could
they
going
forward?
Would
there
be
some
form
of
of
grandfather,
so
a
few
questions
I
would
ask
with
all
that
in
mind.
How
do
we
justify
imposing
these
ordinances
without
first
enforcing
the
ordinances
we
have?
F
K
L
K
They
got
it,
they
got
it
I'm,
sorry
we'll
move
on,
so
he
pretty
much
covered
everything
not
as
I,
won't
be
as
thorough,
but
I
just
want
to
express
basically
just
create
a
voice
for
hosts
right
now
for
all
I
know.
K
We
had
no
idea.
This
was
happening.
There
are
projects
that
are
houses
that
are
derelict
that
we're
renovating
in
certain
areas,
particularly
the
historic
districts
that
are
just
the
rugs
being
pulled
out
from
under
us
yeah,
and
it's
just.
We
understand
completely
that
there
must
be
regulation,
because
Windsor
Park
Lake
Bottom
downtown
it
can't
become
a
hotel.
We
understand
that,
but
we
also
need
some
sort
sort
of
notice.
There
has
to
be
some
collaboration
with
the
professionals
that
Columbus
chartered
to
build
out
this
industry.
K
So
respectfully
you
know,
I
won't
be
like
I
said:
I
won't
be
as
thorough
as
as
Jared,
but
I
want
to
just
invoke
a
sense
of
pause
and
caution,
because
a
lot
of
the
professionals
that
have
been
doing
this
are
going
to
be
damaged
significantly.
Hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
I
have
invested
right
now
on
projects
that
need
a
top-down
renovation
for
to
host
a
military
family.
K
So
it's
concerning
to
say
the
least,
for
the
people
that
have
been
doing
this,
and
we
didn't
know
that
this
meeting
was
going
to
happen
until
like
this
morning
and
there
would
be
a
lot
more
hosts
here.
Had
we
had
some
notice,
so
there
is
a
little
bit
of
concern
like
there's
been
questions
like
are
his
big
hotel
behind?
This
is
something
going
on,
but
we
know
that
this
is
just
because
this
was
coming.
We
knew
there
was
going
to
be.
K
and,
of
course,
that
was
before
Mr
Pruitt's
time,
I'm,
not
knocking
him,
but
I'm,
just
saying
if
we
enforce
the
rules
that
are
currently
on
the
books
and
work
with
our
hosts
to
give
them
a
heads
up,
I
think
we
can
regulate
this
industry
to
a
point
where
it
doesn't
destroy
tourism,
because
this
is
where
Millennials
want
to
stay.
When
they
come
whitewater
rafting,
they
don't
look
at
a
hotel.
K
D
I
was
a
little
bit,
not
think
that
we
voted
on
the
ordinance
changes.
D
I
thought
that
we
had
put
a
moratorium
so
that
we
could
discuss
it
further
and
then
I
was
notified.
You
know,
I
somebody
sent
me
a
copy
of
the
ordinance
that
we
had
passed
and
so
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
confused.
There's
some
confusion
all
over
the
place
about
what's
on
the
books
and,
what's
being
what's
what's
being
enforced.
D
B
I,
just
I
just
wanted
to
mention
a
couple
things
all
of
the
the
revisions
to
the
the
ordinance.
The
Caps
specifically,
the
neighbor
notification
was
definitely
a
push
that
we
heard
from
the
concerned.
Neighborhood
groups
that
came
up
here
and
I
know
they
were
at
Council
in
force.
When
we
were
discussing
this
back
in
in
January
and
prior
to
that.
So
that
was
not
you
know,
wasn't
a
staff
driven
change.
It
was
it
our
idea.
B
This
was
something
that
the
neighbors
came
out
and
advocated
for
and
then
with
the
enforcement
I
said
we
we
have
enforced
it.
It
was
strictly
a
complaint
base
which
is
just
like
any
other
business.
That's
operating
without
a
business
license.
Somebody
notifies
us,
it
says:
hey
somebody's
operating
out
here
without
the
proper
licenses.
You
know
we
send
a
code
enforcement
to
that
location
to
you
know
to
bring
them
into
compliance,
so
we
hadn't
done
any
wide
scale
enforcement.
D
So
have
we
voted
on
the
cabs
we
did?
Okay,
have
we
voted
on
all
of
the
the
different
steps
in
order
to
get
a
certificate
of
occupancy.
F
D
J
Well,
let
me
say
this
part
of
it:
the
moratorium,
you
didn't
want
it
just
wide
open
where
anybody
could
come
in
with
50
applications
during
the
moratorium,
so
calcium,
Congo,
wisely
I
think
brought
up,
let's
put
in
some
minimum
caps.
Now,
when
you
pass
the
ordinance
and
you
can
revisit
them
like
you're
doing
today
or
next
month,
they're
in
three
months,
if
these
caps
are
too
stringent,
then
you
can
adjust
them,
but
it
was
wise
to
put
them
in
place.
J
So
you
just
didn't,
have
a
shootout
with
people
bringing
50
applications
in
one
District,
and
now
you
can
revisit
any
of
it
any
of
the
criteria
which
basically
I
think
the
criteria
you're
able
to
enforce
those,
but
the
caps
or
policy
matter
for
the
council
and
if
they're
a
little
too
stringent
in
one
District,
you
can
look
at
them
and
make
adjustments
as
needed.
That
was
the
whole
point
of,
but
at
least
getting
a
starting
point
in
January,
okay,.
D
What
about
the
notification
of
the
neighbors?
That
seems
to
be
a
big
issue?
There's
one
thing
about
notifying
I.
Do
not
ever
remember
us.
Have
us
discussing
that
the
neighbors
had
to
sign
off
and
and
accept
the
notification.
I
thought
it
was
just
it's
a
courtesy
where
we're
notifying
them
around
us
I
mean
I.
I
would
think
that
it
would
be
something
like
either
mailing
or
tacking
to
the
attacking
to
the
door.
C
Well
and
I
just
stole
my
two
cents,
I
think
if
all
the
operators
and
hosts
were
like
these
two
gentlemen,
we
have
a
lot
less
heartburn
about
about
allowing
these
things,
although
I
personally
think,
if
you're
a
resident,
that
is
something
money
into
your
house,
you
should
be
notified.
If
somebody
next
door
is
gonna,
there's
gonna
be
a
different
person
in
there.
Every
couple
of
days,
I.
C
But
I
think
our
challenge
is
laws
are
on
the
books,
not
for
folks
that
act,
nice
and
do
right.
Laws
are
on
the
books
where
people
do
the
wrong
thing
and
we
had
a
an
admittedly
I
think
we
were
rushing
to
try
to
get
something
in
place,
because
we
saw
the
impact
in
some
of
these
neighbors
and
some
of
these
neighborhoods.
C
So
you
know,
I
I
think
that
there
is
an
opportunity
to
continue
the
dialogue,
but
I
think
council
did
the
right
thing
by
putting
something
in
place
to
make
sure
that
that
some
bad
areas
did
not
get
worse.
Now
the
trick
is
working
with
people
who
are
doing
it.
The
right
way
to
strike
that
balance
that
you
were
talking
about,
try
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
so
that
everybody
can
do
do
their
business
without
without
creating
any
unnecessary
or
unburdensome
challenges
for
you.
But
there
have
to
be
limits.
C
I
mean
you
said
you
have
six.
There
are
some
people
that
have
10
15
20..
This
is
an
industry,
and
you
know
we.
We
see
all
the
time
GMA
fights
to
protect
us
from
build
to
rent
subdivisions
people
coming
in
building
whole
subdivisions
just
to
rent.
This
town
has
a
lot
of
rentals
because
we
got
soldiers
at
PCS.
Out
of
here
want
to
come
back,
so
they
hang
on
to
their
house
and
they
rent
it
out
for
a
while.
So
the
Airbnb
is
another
version
of
that
and
yeah
I
think
I.
C
D
Think
the
Caps
are
fine,
I
think
that
that
maybe
we
we've
become
too
restrictive
and
too
bureaucratic
on
the
renewals
of
the
certificate
of
occupancy,
because
Ryan
is
sitting
there
telling
us
that
he
doesn't
have
the
staff
to
follow
through
on
all
of
this
and
here's
business.
People
out
here
telling
us
that
it's
a
it's
a
burdensome
process.
Everybody
everybody
that
is
a
part
of
this
process
is
being
burdened
by
this
process,
and
so
I
think
us
at
this
table
need
to
listen
to
that
and
reconsider.
D
L
L
This
is
a
money-making
business,
we're
talking
about,
and
you
know
anytime
you're
in
business,
there's
a
certain
essence
of
diligence
that
the
business
owner
has
to
do
and
it's
their
responsibility
matter
of
fact
across
the
board,
whether
it's
applications,
whether
it's
renewals,
whether
it's
license
or
all
those
things,
come
into
compliance-
and
this
matter
you
know
coming
from
the
industry
I'm
in-
is
heavily
restricted.
This
is
a
piece.
This
is
a
cakewalk
compared
to
what
the
industry
I'm
involved
in
has
to
go
through
and
and
yet
it's
in
essence,
almost
similar.
L
We
only
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
what
what
I
was
hearing
was
a
lot
about
from
these
two
gentlemen,
too,
was
well.
The
one
thing
was
the
caps,
but
you
know
keep
in
mind.
This
has
been
a
concern
of
neighborhoods
for
a
while
this
whole
audience
was
full
of
people
that
were
concerned
about
that,
and
we
tried
to
created
in
such
a
way
that
it
works
on
on
both
sides.
L
Now
the
whole
city
you're
not
a
limited
to
doing
business
in
Columbus,
Georgia,
there's,
probably
still
what
85
percent
of
the
market
that
you
can
go
out
and
there's
no
requirements
at
all
and
and
people
were
really
concerned.
I
think
the
conversations
start
a
lot
because
of
the
lack
of
enforcement
that
we
were
not
enforcing.
L
I
heard
a
lot
of
the
conversation
right
here
that
talked
about
the
lack
of
enforcement
and
why
we
weren't
enforcing
whether
it's
number
of
occupants,
whether
it's
number
cars,
whether
it's
certificate
or
license
renewals
things
of
that
if
you're
in
business
there's
a
certain
instance
of
responsibility
of
diligence
that
you
have
to
take
on
yourself
and
make
sure
you're
doing
it.
I
I,
don't
remember,
but
maybe
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about
at
this
table.
I,
don't
know
why
it's
so
complicated,
but
there's
only
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about.
L
But
the
main
thing
this
body
said
is
that
they
were
concerned
about
the
lack
of
enforcement
and
I
mean
Ryan
that
basically
beat
you
up,
but
that's
what
was
being
said,
but
there
have
been
I
do
know
of
other
Str
owners
that
are
in
the
market,
doing
business.
That
they've
contributed
as
well,
I
think
and
some
input
about
how
to
go
about
this
as
well.
L
But
it
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
there
was
only
three
or
four
things
that
we
talked
about,
that
we
codified
a
little
bit
more
that
it's
not
to
me.
It's
not
burdensome,
it's
just
a
matter
of
compliance
and
if
you're
in
the
business
you
just
kind
of
it
would
be
easy
to
understand.
I,
don't
know
if
you
pass
out
these
sheets
when
they
go
to
get
their
annual
permits
or
whatever,
but
you've
got
to
regulate.
L
It's
got
to
be
regulated
somehow
some
way,
it's
not
just
open
season
and
a
free-for-all,
or
else
we're
going
to
this
bot.
This
council
chambers
is
going
to
be
repacked
with
concerned
residents
all
over
again
now.
I
may
not
hear
from
them,
but
I
know
some
of
my
other
council
members
are
going
to
hear
from
these
people
because
they
were
very
adamant
about
and
passionate
about,
the
concerns
and-
and
certainly
you
know,
there
needs
to
be
input
about
what
is
coming
to
my
neighborhood.
These
are
established
neighborhoods.
L
That
was
the
essence
of
the
talk,
and
if
this
is
coming
to
my
neighborhood
I
need
to
be
aware
of
it.
It's
not
that
we
don't
want
the
business
it's
just.
We
need
to
have
it
more
in
line
and
control,
or
else
it's
going
to
take
over
and
it
could
you
know
if
you
don't
have
any
perimeters
or
any
like
the
mayor,
said
balance
so
I,
don't
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
Ryan
but
didn't
we.
There
was
only
like
three
or
four
things.
It
was
yes,
really
talked
about
other
than
that.
L
It's
a
matter
of
like
the
gentleman
said.
It's
the
people
who
are
not
getting
license
or
they're
out
of
compliance
and
they're
not
doing
the
right
thing.
Those
are
the
people
that
the
enforcement
is.
Is
you
know,
I
mean
that's
the
ones
you're
going
with
yeah
I
mean
it
applies
to
them.
It
doesn't
apply
the
ones
that
are
doing
business
appropriately.
I
mean
you
shouldn't,
have
any
issues
with
it?
In
other
words,
I
mean
I,
understand,
look,
you
know,
I
would
be
concerned
if
I
can't
continue
to
grow
my
business
in
certain
areas.
L
You
know
if
that
number
is
bothersome,
but
that's
that's
rightfully.
So
that's
one
side
of
the
story,
but
it's
not
the
the
other
side
of
the
story
and
unfortunately,
when
you're
working
in
neighborhoods
established
neighborhoods
you've
got
some
very
valid
concerns.
I
think
we
did
as
about
as
enough
as
we
could
do
to
try
to
protect
neighborhoods
and
helps
people
have
been
there
for
a
long
time
do
the
best
they
can.
L
But
you
know
the
value
is
in
the
property
itself
and
whether
it's
rented
out
short
term
long
term
I
think
you
would
probably
tie
that
more
to
an
occupancy
on
an
annual
basis,
but
there's
still
value
in
that
property
that
you're
going
to
be
able
to
capture
whenever
you
make
that
decision.
But
that's
left
in
the
in
the
business
owner's
hands
to
do
that.
So
I,
don't
CR,
you
know.
Will
you
answer?
There's
only
was
there
only
about
four
things
that
we?
Yes,
the.
L
B
Only
a
few
neighborhoods
yeah,
the
caps
in
the
historic
Districts
The
Neighbor
notification,
was
new.
Adding
the
sticker
to
the
front
door
was
new
and
then
defining
the
occupant
load
was
new,
so
the
previous
ordinance
told
my
staff
to
Define
an
occupant
load,
but
it
didn't
tell
us
how
to
do
it,
so
we
added
that
just
so.
It
was
consistent
across
the
board.
B
The
ordinance
has
always
been
since
2018.
The
ordinance
has
always
required
an
annual
permit
for
my
department,
but
in
the
past,
that
portion
of
the
ordinance
was
not
enforced.
So
if
you
got
a
short-term
rental
permit
in
2018
and
we
use
certificate
of
occupancy
in
permit
kind
of
simultaneously,
but
really
it's
an
annual
permit
that
a
short-term
rental
permit
that
they
come
to
my
office
to
get
every
year.
So
in
the
past
you
could
get
one
in
2018.
B
L
There
anything
else
that
was
added
I
think
it's
just
a
number
of
occupants
right
yep.
That
was
a
big
thing.
It
was
a
number
of
people
in
the
in
the
in
that.
Well,
the
house,
a
building
in
the
number
of
cars
I
mean
that
was
a
big
issue
there,
but
this
is
this
any
different
than
any
other
cities
that
are
out
there.
People
have
I.
B
B
L
I
Thank
you,
mayor,
I,
just
wanted
to
remind
Council
when
we
heard
from
the
public.
Basically,
what
we
had
been
been
doing
was
allowing
a
business
to
locate
in
a
neighborhood
number
one
without
notification
to
the
neighbors
number
two,
without
having
a
public
hearing
without
having
rezoning
without
having
any
plans
from
that
organization
presented
the
city,
and
that
was
my
concern.
I
I
I
had
a
call
from
a
neighbor.
Now
gentleman
I
live
about
as
far
away
from
you
as
you
can
get
I'm
out
in
the
Panhandle
out
in
the
country,
but
yet
we
had
a
Airbnb
locate
there
and
the
the
the
fraternities
found
out
about
it
and
they
were
running
it
over
the
weekend,
and
so
this
is
all
of
a
sudden
A
disruption
to
a
neighborhood.
There's
a
private
drive
with
10
homes
on
it.
So
one
of
the
10
homes
was
rented
out
for
parties.
I
Every
weekend
the
owner
had
moved
to
Maine
or
somewhere
up
in
the
Northeast,
so
there
was
out
of
town
ownership
that
kind
of
problematic
situation.
So
that's
one
thing
that
concerned
me:
you
guys
are
doing
it
the
right
way,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
going
on
here
that
we're
trying
to
get
our
arms
around.
So
it's
just
going
to
take
us
a
while
to
do
that.
So
I
would
beg
your
Indulgence
and
your
patience
with
that.
I
If
you
want
to
help
work
with
us
on
this
offer
some
ideas
we're
glad
to
help
to
talk
through
those
things.
But
again
when,
when
a
when
somebody
wants
to
open
a
business,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
they
have
to
go
through
to
do
that.
If
they're
going
to
rezone
the
property
and
all
that
there's
a
lot
of
notifications
that
go
out
and
personally
I
feel
like
you
owe
it
to
your
neighbors
to
let
them
know
what
you're
fixing
to
do
now,
whether
or
not
we
notify
them
with
certified
mail.
I
That's
the
way
certified
mail
works.
Sometimes
people
sign
it.
Sometimes
they
don't.
But
if
you,
if
you
take
that
out,
then
the
people
that
are
doing
it
wrong
are
not
going
to
send
the
notices
out.
I
mean
they're
doing
it
wrong
to
begin
with
so
they're
they're.
All
like
the
mayor
said
everything's
put
in
place
because
of
the
Bad
actors.
I
mean
that's
why
you
have
speed
limits
and
you
put
up
stop
signs
and
those
kind
of
things
so
anyway,
I
appreciate
you
listening
I
I
thank
Mr
Ryan
for
the
report
that
he
gave
thanks.
E
So
the
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
this
since
January
and
so
and
and
and
I
do
think.
Glenn
is
right,
I
think,
there's
I
think
a
lot
of
the
bad
players
in
the
neighborhood
are
kind
of
causing
the
issues
and
and
when
we
heard
from
the
residents
whether
it
was
your
Airbnb
owner
or
you're
a
resident
in
the
neighborhood,
it
was
really
the
unlicensed
ones
that
were
causing
the
majority
of
the
issues
and
so
I
don't
know.
E
I
guess
the
the
part
that
I'm
really
struggling
with
is
that
if
we
have
120
airbnbs
who
have
been
operating
illegally
and
I,
think
that
number
is
probably
about
the
same
since
January
31st,
when
we
I
guess
voted
changes
into
an
ordinance.
How
many
of
the
you
know
five
months
later?
How
how
many
of
the
airbnbs
of
those
120
are
still
operating
I
mean
have
we
have
we
shut
anybody
down
yet
so
no
I
mean
we
can
make
rules
till
we're
blue
in
the
face,
but
right
if
we're
not
gonna
as.
B
I
said
we're
seeing
it
we
sent
over
40
notices
to
properties
in
those
capped
districts,
we've
heard
from
about
20
of
them
and,
like
I
said
I
know,
you
were
contacted
by
several
citizens
that
you
know
they're
not
operating
rentals,
so
we
think
there's
about
20
rentals
in
those
capped
districts
and
right
now
we're
working
through
to
bring
them
into
compliance
so
that
that's
all
the
historic
districts,
not
just
the
ones
that
are
at
the
cap
and
then
the
other
80
or
so
that
are
showing
up
on
the
report,
are
in
the
uncapped
areas.
B
So
their
only
violation
is
that
they
haven't
come,
got
the
permit
and
so
I
said
we're
working
the
next
couple
weeks
to
get
those
letters
out
and
they'll
be
able
to
come
in
and
get
into
compliance.
So
you
know
my
recommendation
may
be
to
give
me
and
my
staff
60
90
days
and
I
can
bring
you
back
a
report
that
says
you
know
he
had
120.
You
know
now.
Hopefully
we're
way
under
that
and
working
towards
zero
I.
E
Mean
and
I
don't
and
I
don't
want
to
beat
you
up
to
I.
Just
you
know
I
just
we
put
the
moratorium
in
place
so
that
we
could
start
enforcing
the
caps,
and
so
you
so
are
we
just
are
not
enforcing
the
Caps,
so
we
can
start
enforcing
the
the
ordinance.
So
are
we
starting
now
to
enforce
the
ordinance
and
then
so
so
we
can
we.
We
can
say
that
we're
starting
today,
yeah
so.
