Council signals further discussion needed on short‑term rental policy

At the end of the meeting Council member Van Duzer raised the subject of short‑term rentals (STRs), said constituent views remain divided and that she is not ready to conclude the policy discussion. "I've thought about it more...I'm not ready to end the conversation," she said, and urged more discussion before taking action.

Council members indicated they would continue the conversation if there is sufficient interest and incoming constituent input; no formal motion or vote was taken on STR regulation tonight.
