Subject: 1217121 City Council Public Comment
Dear Mayor Carr and HB City Council Members,
I want to take this opportunity to thank Mayor Kim Carr for her steady leadership during this turbulent year and to wish
her continued success in all of her future endeavors. I am grateful that she led the way to spare the city a costly special
election to fill a vacant council seat, was proactive in mitigation of damages from the recent oil spill and many other
challenges she faced during her year as mayor.
I also want to take this time to congratulate incoming Mayor Barbara Delgleize. Her experience as mayor in 2017 and her
ability to work with other members of council to achieve results are assuring that she will provide steady leadership for
the city as mayor in 2022.
1 often speak on behalf of Huntington Beach Short Term Rental Alliance members as I do so now at this point of the
comment, we ask that the city delay the requirement of booking platforms to takedown listings on 1/1/2022 for all all
without valid permit numbers. Per city website at this time there are 54 permits issued in Huntington Beach/Sunset
Beach, 37/17 respectively,This is a paltry number of issued permits, due in part that the city has continually blocked the
vast majority of HB property owners of STRs from applying and qualifying for permits. Give everyone in HB/SB a finite
window of opportunity to apply for permits before the city issues requirements of platforms to remove listings from
their websites.
Sincerely,
Kathryn Levassiur
