    Town hall with Mayor, short term rentals hearing, new position in mayor’s office

    Mayor Littmann and I will be holding a joint Town Hall on February 5th at 6:30 at the Eastport-Annapolis Neck library. The Mayor wants to introduce you to the Department Directors. Each of them will get 2 minutes to tell you about the services they provide and how you can get involved or get in touch with them. We will be including the usual open Q&A at the end of the meeting. Hope to see you there! I’ll have flyers printed up soon for distribution.

    Our Monday Council meeting has two items up for public hearing:

    O-40-25 - Moratorium on new Short-term Rental permits (see below for details)

    O-41-25 - Mayor proposes new Deputy Chief-of-staff position (see below for details)

    Stay healthy and safe,

    Special Meeting, STR Moratorium, & Deputy Chief-of-Staff Proposal

    I wanted to inform you that we have a special Council meeting scheduled for tomorrow, from 2-4pm. These meetings, typically the second of each month, can be called for by the Mayor at will. I’m not entirely sure what precipitated this late December meeting, but what I do know is that the time was moved earlier due to the hectic nature of Midnight Madness. I do apologize for getting this newsletter out late, but the odd Council meeting date has thrown me off my normal schedule. Fortunately, we don’t have anything up for a public hearing and nothing significant up for final vote.

    What we do have on our agenda are two items of note:

    Moratorium update – The moratorium on new short-term rental (STR) licenses (R-50-25) will be withdrawn and reintroduced as an Ordinance, due to updated guidance from the law office. I am still in opposition to the underlying moratorium. I’ll detail my reasons below.

    Mayor proposes new Deputy Chief-of-staff position. See below for details.

    Committee assignments - We will also be voting on our committee assignments, and it looks like I will once again likely chair Environmental Matters and serve on the Transportation and Economic Matters Committees.

    Stay healthy and safe,

    Rob
