I do not believe the scope of this problem is understood. I'm sure the majority of short term rentals on Marco are problem-free. The suggestions being made are punitive to all landlords who have short term rentals. If there was a problem with autos speeding on Collier Blvd. would you propose banning cars on Marco? No, you'd propose going after the drivers who speed. The problem isn't short term rentals; the problem is BAD short term rentals. Go after the offenders and leave everyone else alone.

The issue: how to deal with unruly guests in rental homes. The answer: well, there is still no answer. Even if the draft ordinance is accepted and complied with, how is the city going to deal with unruly guests? The answer won't be forthcoming in this form of bureaucracy. Perhaps the committee should have suggested strengthening the city's noise ordinances and give the police some teeth to punish the offenders.

It appears this committee has gotten it all wrong. Their recommendation should fail passage, and if it does pass it will fail in actual practice. Listen to Chief Reinke; he is the only person who is making any sense about handling the issue.

I thought the problem was with nuisance rentals and how to deal with them. The answer you got from this committee is already a failure. Even if Marco Island funds this rental-registration boondoggle 100% and gets 100% cooperation from its citizens, how are the local authorities going to deal with nuisance rentals? The committee didn't answer the question.
