Motion presented by Councillor McKenna: That the Mayor be requested to enforce the short term rental ordinance which was approved on September 1, 2020. In accordance with the ordinance, a Short-Term Rental Enforcement Office should have been created to enforce the provisions of said ordinance and address the numerous complaints the City Council has received since its passage. Without enforcement, residents are forced to live next to habitual partying at all hours of the night, which diminishes the quality of life of these long-time residents. We owe it to our residents to take control of these unacceptable situations and hold the property owners accountable.
