All the action will be in the Preliminary Open Meeting, where we have two meaty discussions: 1) no longer being a recipient of HUD funds, and 2) the parameters of an ordinance restricting short-term rentals. These will be discussions to provide direction; there will be no votes on ordinances or resolutions pertaining to these tonight.
