Public Comment
In addition to the attached marked up version of Placer Co's STIR ordinance,it remains vague as to who is the responsible party in
the event of a fine. It seems logical that the offending party should be the recipient of a fine. For example, if an owner or manager
fails to satisfy life safety,or represents a property in their advertising that is out of bounds,of operates in the absence of a permit,
then they should pay the fine. If a renter violates the parking,or noise/nuisance rules,they should be responsible. Understanding
that in some cases both parties could be fined,in most,it should absolutely be the offending party. Host compliance,assuming the
Town uses them, has been the source of much confusion,as they over leverage technology(drag netting the web and using robo
calls isn't going to cut it) in their monitoring.This is going to take tangible human resources to oversee.The Town should anticipate
that,and make sure the permit fee reflects as such.
