Legislative Update – Pete Wills
Pete Wills gave an update on legislation. He spoke about bill 5438 – STR Regulation Act and
MEDC Grant.

Short Term Rental Discussion – Jonathan Seyferth
The Manager facilitated a discussion on Short Term Rentals. He suggested putting a pause on
rentals but leave them intact in the commercial area and downtown area. He suggested a pause of
6 months or 12 months for staff to develop a framework to regulate them. Any appeals could be
made to administration and those that are denied can be taken to the City Commission for
review. This item will be brought to the City Commission for consideration.

Lake Front PUD Standards – Jonathan Seyferth
Discussion took place about Lakefront PUD Standards. Is there interest in making one set of
standards or does the city go section by section? Jamie Pesch, Planner, will study the issue and
come back to a worksession with suggestions.



Adjourn at 7:35 pm.
