Good morning. This is the recommended committee for November third, two thousand twenty-five. Are we in compliance with the open meeting law? Yes, you are. If you have something you'd like to say, please do so now. Hearing and seeing none, moving on to item number four or possible action to approve the final minutes by reference of the October 13th, 2025 recommending committee meeting. I'll entertain a motion. So moved. We have a motion, please vote. And post. And that item passes. Moving on to item number five, bill number 2025-36 for possible action. Amends various sections of LVMC chapter 6.75 relating to short-term residential rentals to conform the definition of the term to the definition of that term as found in LVMC title 19. Update and clarify requirements related to the owner occupancy and liability insurance. Proposed by Mr. Floyd. I'll turn it over to Mr. Loinstein or Miss Darcy. Uh good morning, Chairman and members of council. Um the proposed amendment, uh Darcy Aleba, I heard for the record, business licensing manager. The proposed amendment affects three portions of the existing licensing language found within Title 6.75. The amendment first seeks definition parity with Title 19 by referencing NRS and clarifying that the term does not include the renting of residential accessory structures, residential accessory dwelling units, a tent, a trailer, or mobile unit. It goes further to identify that if multiple units exist on site, each will be considered a separate short-term rent residential rental. Secondly, the amendment amendment addresses owners' occupancy by having a bedroom identified on an approved floor plan. And thirdly, the amendment addresses insurance certificate requirements. And staff seeks your recommendation of approval. Thank you. Thank you. And as I read this, it looked a lot like cleanup language. Is that pretty accurate? Yes. Okay. Is there any questions up here? This is a public comment period. If anybody would like to comment. Hearing and seeing none, I will entertain a motion. There's a motion, please vote. And post. And that item passes. And Mr. Attorney, do we have that one sheet that Miss Egerblin would have handed to me already, but you have not. I was expecting it on the desk. That item passes. And we'll be eligible in the November 19th, 2025 city council meeting. Moving on to item number six. Bill number 2025-37 for possible action amends LVMC Title 7 by adding a new chapter therein, designated as chapter 7.43 to require certain owners and operators of commercial establishments engaged in the business of handling pets to complete a training course on handling pets. This is proposed by Jason Potts, our chief of public safety. Rudy Tovar, DPS manager for the record overseeing animal protection services. Yeah, basically we had to create a training program related to animal handling. So we just took the opportunity to uh address animal handling and a couple other uh important items in Title 7 that are just reminders for folks that operate animal handling businesses and uh some nonprofits that are gonna fall into this requirement.
