PUBLIC SPEAKER: Kay Wolff, La Quinta - thanked Councilmember Radi personally, and on behalf of the community for his hard work, his service, and contributions; stated that with the failure of Measure A, Council needs to: fully enforce its Municipal Code to support and protect residents; improve the 24/7- hotline response; provide code enforcement response to all complaints, not just noise; clarify who residents should call when threatened, i.e., police or code enforcement; provide progress reports to complainants; offer incentives to STVR owners to relocate to Tourist Commercial zones; allow offended neighbors to submit photos/videos and other evidence of infractions, rather than requiring violations to be witnessed by code officers in order for citations to be issued; publish the appeals procedure so residents know they can appeal the City Manager's decisions; establish an appeals board for STVRs; rid neighborhoods of known "bad apples"; require noise monitors at STVRs; add more patrols; find and remove all unpermitted operators; address density of STVR per block; publicize widely that no new permits will be issued, even after the failure of Measure A; and fully define the phrase "detrimental to the public interest" in the Code.
