City of St. Anthony CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Minutes September 26, 2023 Present: Mayor & Council: Randy Stille, Mayor, Bernard Walker, Jan Jenson, Thomas Randle, Wendy Webster, Councilmembers Staff: Charlie Yunker, City Manager, Steve Grittman, City Planner (contracted) Call to Order: Mayor Stille called the Work Session to order at 6:00 p.m. Single Family Home Rentals: City Planner Steve Grittman reviewed the materials provided in the packet, which covered information on current single family home rentals in the city, options for regulating of those rentals, samples of short-term home rental regulations and a sample of a land trust model for preserving affordable single family homes. Council discussed the information and addressed questions proposed by staff to provide staff direction on next steps. Council discussed regulation of single family home rentals and determined the objective of regulation to be the preservation of home ownership in the city. Council expressed the desire to cap the total amount of licenses issued to at or very near the current total, and consider a total licenses issued to a single owner or entity to prevent large-scale corporate ownership. Council also asked for market value information for the current homes with rental licenses for review when addressing the topic again. Council discussed regulating of short-term rentals, and expressed the desire to review both a licensing option and a prohibition option for consideration. Time did not allow for extensive discussion on a land trust option and asked to have the topic included at a future work session as the agenda topics allow. Future Work Sessions: Next Work Session will be held on October 10th, 2023, at 5:45pm in the Council Chambers. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 6:52 p.m. Respectfully submitted by Charlie Yunker, City Manager.
