Mayor explains the origin of the proposal
Mayor Citrin, approximately 0:42–1:01: “Somebody sent to me a listing on the internet about a month and a half ago that listed the former mayor’s boathouse for rent, as the mayor indicated, at $200 an hour.” Watch from 0:42.
Approximately 1:03–1:20: “And under the current law, there is no prohibition. And it’s perfectly legitimate to do that. And that got me thinking, because if you can rent your boathouse, you can probably rent any accessory structure to the general public.” Watch from 1:02.
The mayor describes receiving the listing as the starting point for his consideration of broader restrictions, while acknowledging that the rental was permitted under the law then in effect. Review the exchange.
