Council members identified a package of potential ordinances for future drafting: contractor registration or business licensing, updated rules for solar panels and windmills, driveway and temporary-fence standards, permit extensions and temporary certificates of occupancy, minimum home/garage square footage, caps on short-term rentals and rules on election sign timing.
