Midway council asks police to share complaint data; staff flags illegal nightly rentals

During discussion of the home-occupation ordinance, the council requested regular complaint reporting from the police department so elected officials can track enforcement and patterns. "If the police department sends us a weekly report... I think it's important that information is shared with the council," Mayor Simons said.

City staff member Michael said the city has received complaints related to illegal nightly rentals and that enforcement can proceed through the business-license process. "It's illegal nonstop," Michael said of the unpermitted nightly rentals; staff recommended using existing license enforcement tools where appropriate and to include complaint summaries in periodic reports to council.
