Re: Monthly Department Report — March 2020
City of McCa11
1. LOT:
Due to COVID-19, LOT will be greatly impacted. Staff will be following the numbers and adjusting as
needed.
2. COVID-19:
On March 23, a mandatory Stay at Home order was put into place and only essential staff have been
working in office. Currently, the Clerk is still working regular hours at City Hall and the Deputy Clerk
works limited hours Tuesday thru Thursday to assist with cash receipting, license processing, and packet.
In order to keep essential pieces of the department moving forward, support staff will rotate days in office
so local option tax and cash receipting can be processed and set up to work at home as much as possible.
3. Licenses and Permits:
Licenses: Business — 8 new applications approved this last month / 0 pending applications / 1 denied
application / 49 issued in the current fiscal year. (Staff is reorganizing data storage and changing to a fiscal
year for tracking, so the issued number reflects all applications approved since October 1, 2019) Of the
business licenses received to date, 10 are vacation rentals. The code change has spurred some STR owners
to come into compliance on licensing. Education and enforcement are a continuous on -going process. New
applications will still be processed if received during the Stay at Home order.
Alcohol — 42 approved holders (last month's number was incorrect) New applications will still be
processed if received during the Stay at Home order.
Snow Removal Vehicle Decals — 30 snow contractors have received decals and are legal to remove snow.
Education and enforcement are an ongoing process.
Taxi & Commercial Transportation Driver Licenses — 1 taxi license was renewed. Staff will be reviewing
enforcement issues. Uber and Lyft drivers are exempt from any type of licensing and background checks
according to Idaho State Statute Title 49, Chapter 37, 49-371 S CONTROLLING AUTHORITY

4. Short -Term Rental Code Compliance:

is still processing new forms as those come in but nothing else at this time.
