I'm called the order.

My name is Richard Perry, and I'm the administrative hearing officer that's going to hear this today for the city of personal city.

And I'll read you kind of the rules that I go by that I request everyone to adhere to for today.

Because these are supposed to be informal meetings, informal hearings, okay.

The rules for today, when I call you on you for information, you can respond.

Please do not interrupt myself or someone giving evidence, and that includes everybody over here too.

I will rule on the admissibility of any evidence given during the hearing.

Each party will have the opportunity to discuss their grievance and present evidence.

Actually, I'm not going to hold a public comment today on that on this.

So after the end of the hearing, I will write a written administrative order with my decisions.

And any party can appeal my administrative order to the justice or municipal court within within 30 days.

So I'm going to start off with opening remarks from Carson City.

I'll go for our hopes out of it, Director of Community Macronic Development.

The administrative citation is in the file, or in the binder that's before you under TAP 4.

The owner's request for a hearing on this administrative citation is timely.

The binder of material that's been prepared for this hearing is items that are already public record.

So we have not created a record for purposes of this hearing.

So this is the raw data, there's no analysis being provided.

The administrative citation was issued by the staff based on what the staff considered to be appropriate.

The staff did not rely on the input of the community in making its decision.

And I should say, just I guess for the benefit of not necessarily this record, but just future.

So everyone has an understanding.

But just because they bring something to our attention doesn't mean there's a violation.

And then lastly, I'll just point out that per, and I know the chair knows this, but the hearings officer, but per CCMC 809450.2, once all evidence and testimony are completed, the hearings officer shall issue an administrative order.

So that's sort of why we're here today.

And with that, I'll turn it over to the deputy director, Kyle Fisher.

Kyle Fisher, Deputy Director.

So we had received multiple complaints during the uh enforcement date period.

And so I personally went and uh on to Airbnb to verify that the uh property was still listed.

Um there were 13 reviews since the enforcement date.

Um the owner had responded to comments and reviews, and so that happened over the three-month period, which is why we got the three-month enforcement.

Okay.

Okay, and and uh let's go ahead and have the respondents uh give their opening remarks here too.

And and I just like to ask, because the uh the reason we're here in this this this hearing that you requested is the fine, and the amount of the fine.

Yeah, it's not what we have discussed before as to whether whether it is or is not uh legal to have a short-term rental.

And I realize there's things going on in the city right now with the city supervisors, but I'm not part of that, and I can't rule on something that's a maybe.

Okay, so I want to keep it to just that which you appeal, which is the fine, and not to is this going back to what we talked about in 2025.

Fair um can I say something about what's going on in the board of supervisors?

I think that we can say just know what I'm gonna say.

Oh, I might not say it.

You can say it, I promise.

Um for the hearings officers benefit um the board of supervisors did introduce and then adopt on second reading an amendment to both Title 18 and Title IV to create regulations for short-term rentals with the affected date of November 1.

So it's no longer a maybe, they have taken that action.

And they took that action, I believe that was last week.

And that's first reading?

No, second reading.

That's action.

Yeah, they adopted it, and they've created regulations and supplemental standards and identified in what zoning districts short-term rentals will be permitted.

And when you say November one is that's the effective thing to give us time to kind of do outreach to the community to make sure they have an ample time to apply to create application materials to update our computerized portal and things like that.

So I apologize for jumping in.

But what I was gonna say I was just gonna say that will you say you're not the mechanical.

Oh, sorry, John and Ellenborough.

Okay, so uh simply to say we wholly embrace and the efforts that you've led, I know with all the community um groups that you've gone through over the last couple years getting disappointment with the board of supervisors.

People who've been in this room from the beginning have known that's what we wanted.

That this we just want this.

We we interpret the code differently.

It's one of the reasons why the existing code is why we're here.

Um, but we wholly applaud the efforts of making this like above board clean, straightforward for everybody to stand up, and we'll be the first in line and be your most diligent, you know, um customers in terms of making sure that we abide by the rules, which we by and large right now.

Everything that is in the rules, we've we've watched follow the board of supervisors, we followed the progression of this, um, we know it from other markets where we operated, and we applaud the efforts of Urban to do that.

It's a big undertaking to get to that point.
