Thank you to all who took time to attend the April 22nd meeting, send an email, make a phone call, and/or spread the word. At the meeting, there were hundreds of people, both for and against vacation rentals - so many that not all speakers had time to speak before the meeting ended.On May 29, first to speak will be those who submitted speaker slips on April 22 but did not get to speak. NEW SPEAKERS will be allowed too. (Those who spoke on April 22 will not get to speak on May 29, but it is important for you to come again to show your support!)It is Critical that Residents show up in force on May 29! It will have a big impact on how the City Council votes!Everyone who cares about this issue should attend. Please bring neighbors and friends too!See information on parking and transportation at bottom of email.What You Can Do:* Come to the meeting to show your concern.
