Council discusses where to place Pool Ordinance penalties in city code
Summary
Councilors agreed to limit the initial Pool Ordinance to pools only and Law Director recommended placing penalties alongside the short-term rental ordinance so violations remain first-degree misdemeanors (up to $1,000 fine and up to six months jail).
Ms. D’Amico said Council has reviewed the Pool Ordinance multiple times and advocated moving forward now with pool-specific rules rather than bundling other items. Law Director Lograsso and the Building Commissioner recommended placing the penalties in the short-term rental section of the code so they align with existing first-degree misdemeanor violations.
Lograsso clarified the penalty structure for Council: "That keeps it as a first-degree misdemeanor, the same as the rest of the violations for the short-term rental ordinance, which is a maximum fine of $1,000 and up to six months in jail." The Clerk will check when the ordinance had previously been tabled and referred to Law & Finance.
