September 9, 2025 St. Anthony Council Work Session - 5 <br />carved out. Mr. Grittman posed the question of whether a St. Anthony resident was operating a short- <br />term rental on a property that was not adjacent to them and was not licensed, but who came in next <br />week for a license. The Council agreed that it should not be granted. <br />Mayor Webster stated her only concern is grandfathering in those renting adjacent properties, and that <br />it may create problems in the future. Councilmember Elnagdy stated her consideration is for residents <br />who are operating responsibly. <br />Councilmember Doolan referred to a resident who moved out of the City temporarily and is renting their <br />home until they move back to their home. This carve-out would not apply to that property after the <br />current license expires. <br />Mayor Webster summarized that if the Council moves ahead with the ordinance language proposed, for <br />properties that are operating as a short-term rental but do not have a license, when this ordinance is <br />passed, they will cease to be able to operate and could transition to a licensed long-term rental or <br />choose to sell their property. Those properties that do have a license, operating as a short-term rental, <br />and living adjacent to the rental property, can do so until their current license expires, and if it is <br />renewed, it will be grandfathered in to continue operating. Councilmember Randle would be in favor of <br />this. Councilmember Doolan stated she would be in favor if legal counsel states the City would not be <br />risking litigation. Councilmember Jenson agreed. Councilmember Elnagdy agreed. <br />Mr. Lindgren stated that those are reasonable public policy decisions that are defensible under the law. <br />Future Agenda Items: <br />The next Work Session Meeting will be held on September 23, 2025. <br />Adjournment: <br />The meeting adjourned at 6:50 p.m.
