Kandiyohi directs clerk to draft short-term rental ordinance for attorney review
Summary
Council voted to have the clerk prepare a short-term rental ordinance and permit application for review by the city attorney, citing a desire to prevent problems associated with short-term rentals. The measure passed by motion.
The Kandiyohi City Council on Sept. 3 directed City Clerk/Treasurer Julie Woltjer to prepare a short-term rental ordinance and accompanying permit application and submit the draft to the city attorney for review.
Council Member Scott McGillivray moved for the clerk to draft the ordinance and permit application; Council Member David Streich seconded and the motion carried. Council members said an ordinance would help prevent issues arising from short-term rentals in the city.
The minutes do not record specific regulatory provisions, permit fees, enforcement mechanisms, or a timeline for adoption; the item was recorded as a directive for staff to draft language for attorney review. The council did not take a final vote on an ordinance at the Sept. 3 meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the clerk will prepare the draft and submit it to the attorney; subsequent review, public notice and formal council consideration would follow the attorney's input and any required public hearings.
