Motion to Table-Mike Diehl Second-Kelly Noble Motion Carried There was a lengthy, continuing discussion about situations in Amalga that are unauthorized. Judy had a list, and since most, if not all, of the things that were talked about are on the list, I am including it in the minutes. Pz issues (1) Long term rental lease of one year vs. short term rentals (Airbnb) situations (2) Renting a portion of a home you own while you are not living in your home (3) Renting a home to multiple families while you are not living in your home (4) Renting outbuilding to your full time farm workers on you own property farm (5) Renting out buildings to general public (6) Renting of mobile homes to farm workers vs general public (7) Renting of RV camp trailers that are parked on private property (8) Mother In Law apt within the main home vs additional building Issues: Safety of the community as a whole Safety of renters: fires, building codes requirements, sanitation 'must meet International Building code' Increased use of infrastructure-roads, water, Septic tanks public facilities Taxes-these apartments are not permitted and therefore, no record of the improvements to property are documented and taxed upon increase of value to property Fines and enforcement It is not the mayor of the PZ job to enforce but it is their job to file complaints, along with codes being broken, to the proper authority. Caretaker vs farmworker? The Mayor will schedule an appointment with the Town Attorney to decide what steps will be taken to take care of unauthorized activities. SB 174 was discussed briefly. This is a State Bill that changed the subdivision requirements affecting all local governments in the state. There are companies that will help with the changes at no cost to local government. They are reimbursed by the state. The deadline on this is December 31, 2024. The Mayor and Dave Lee will work on this and report as needed to P&Z. Motion to Adjourn-Mike Diehl Second-Judy Downs Motion Carried Meeting adjourned at 9:13 PM *MINUTES ARE NOT OFFICIAL UNTIL APPROVED*
