Board members voice concern over wording and new burdens in short-term rental rules
A board member said she was confused and concerned by the current short-term rental wording, saying the village has had short-term rentals for roughly 14 years and has not seen many problems, though she cited a specific recent case. "But what I'm concerned about is the wording in here now... we're adding all this extra stuff to these businesses," she said, asking how long short-term rentals have been present and pointing to the potential for new burdens going forward.

Other members recalled the prior vote (recounted as a 6-0 vote) and that earlier iterations removed some provisions; they discussed that the changes could affect businesses and that clarity is needed before enforcement. The transcript records no formal amendment or vote on the short-term rental language at this meeting; the matter remains under discussion and members requested further clarification on the ordinance text.
