Short Term Rental Ad Hoc Committee

09/16/2025 - Update on Short-Term Rental Ad Hoc Committee Meetings

The Town and the Short-Term Rental (STR) Ad Hoc Committee want to share an update with our community. Upcoming committee meetings will be postponed until the committee’s facilitator, Mayor Pro-Tem Kathy Swartz, is able to return to her role.

In the meantime, our work will continue in a different way. The Town will be releasing the documents that the STR Ad Hoc Committee has been reviewing, along with helpful notes to explain why each item matters to the process. This is an opportunity for all community members to stay engaged, review materials, and share feedback that will help shape the committee’s discussions once meetings resume.

We know this delay is unexpected, and we appreciate your understanding and continued participation. The strength of this process has always been the collaboration between the committee and the broader community, and your voices remain essential.

We look forward to resuming meetings once Kathy is back in her role and to building on the important work already underway. Thank you for staying engaged and for supporting the committee in this ongoing effort.
