Neighborhoods are for neighbors not tourists.

The women interviewed on the news said a majority of noise complaints came from non-permitted property owners. However, the noise from renters or part time individuals in the desert is a real problem.

We live in a house in Cathedral City that was next to a vacation rental home. The “homeowners” lived in Los Angeles, and did absolutely nothing regarding the noise, trash, and parking violations.

call the police, not the owner, just like you would if the owner was the one in the house making the noise

I believe it is very short sighted of the city to ban them. They bring so much to the city. And if the city only had better enforcement they never would have had these issues int he first place.

Because some people need help paying their mortgage. they increase property values and bring in tourist revenue to the city. Staying in house has different feel then hotel and makes sense for families

Tax dollars. Period. The end. CatCity isn’t in a position to turn away such opportunities. Honestly. The revenue will help all programs.

STR's are good for the economic growth of Cathedral City. There are better ways to solve the issues with a few problem homes. A few bad apples shouldn't ruin everything for good honest homeowners.

Cathedral City Council has opted to penalize all short term vacation rental owners when 95% of the complaints were for illegal rentals. There are better ways of enforcing existing rules.

CC is only now adding enforcement, which is what we all asked for in the first place, not a phase out. When someone runs a bad taco shop, you shut that shop down, not ALL the taco shops.

Rotating minimizes the possibility of corruption which our city has experienced, its ashame that mayor walked away with nothing more than probation. lets not let it happen again.

YES. The system has been working just fine for several years now. Avoid any lawsuits and keep it this way.

I have always thought voting a mayor is better than the rotation of a mayor. With the rotation, the mayor becomes only a spokesperson for the council The voters should elect based on the agenda of the mayor And it allows for consistency with staff.

Mayors should be elected. The whole rotating mayor debacle has been embarrassing for our city.

One person can be directly responsible for implementing their agenda and keep it on track instead of having to rotate every year.
