4.1 Health Department & Police Department Recommendations for Short Term Rental
Licenses
Assistant Chief Kiel advised that the background check be removed from the application since
the PD could not legally recommend denial of a license unless the applicant had previously been
convicted of a crime which involved the business and/or the location of the business on the
application.
MOTION, to remove the background check requirement from the STR application by Councilor
Sweeney, was seconded by Chair Fennessey and carried.
There was no objection for Chair Fennessey to chair the meeting upon his arrival.
While there were no representatives from the Health Department in attendance, everyone agreed
that they were clearly interested in having us continue collecting the $15 inspection fee from the
applicant, which we would later pass on to them. Clerk Ramos is waiting to hear back from the
county on how and when the $15/inspection rate was established.
MOTION, to hold in committee until we get more information from the Health Department, by
Councilor Fennessey, was seconded by Councilor Sweeney and carried.

Hello,
Celeste shared information about the meeting she attended with representatives from
the city regarding license fees. She and I met with our director and corp counsel to
determine how we should proceed with businesses within the city limits that are licensed
by the Health Department and businesses that are not required to be licensed.
1. Environmental Health/Health Department cannot collect fees required by the city.
2. Environmental Health will continue to provide the city with a list of businesses
currently licensed and inspected by the Health Department.
a. The HHS bookkeeping department will generate an invoice annually for the
currently agreed upon $15 per facility.
3. We will begin developing a process for inspecting businesses not required to be
licensed by the Health Department (such as bars that serve liquor only), creating
an agreement, inspection checklist, and fee schedule.
We appreciate our partnership and will continue to work hard for the health and safety
of the residents of
Superior and Douglas County.
I understand there was a question about the credentials of the health
inspectors/registered sanitarians. Below I have included a summary of the duties and
responsibilities required for this position. Feel free to share with those who are

Subject: RE: Req from Licenses and Fees Mtg
Hi Camilla – I have read through the ordinance and have a question on the context of the conversation that led to
including a PD approval. For other approvals such as taxi cab operator and bartender I have to base any denial on the
test that the reason for my denial is “substantially related to the licensed activity”. There are common crimes and
activity that I can make that nexus to for taxi cabs and bar tenders. For a STR though I am struggling to see many
avenues that would afford me authority to deny, the courts have been pretty clear that criminal record and convictions
alone don’t meet that standard so I would need some reason to say why a particular crime or conviction would prohibit
a property owner from obtaining the license.
I will be on vacation on the 26th for my anniversary but I am sure we can get someone to attend to answer questions.

Good afternoon, Chief Alexander,
As you may know, the current STR code and application was created by using the same for licensing
Hotel/Motel/Rooming houses. Copies of both are attached here for your reference.
During a discussion on the short term rental application and code approved in June at this afternoon’s Licenses & Fees
Meeting, the committee had questions on what specifically applicants could expect from the background check your
department will be process for each applicant.
They are also wondering if you or a representative could be available in person, or virtually, to answer any additional
questions they may have about your STR approval process at their upcoming meeting. The committee will be holding a
special meeting in a couple weeks in Gov’t Ctr 217 on September 26th from at 3:30 pm.
