I want to end up with a few of the challenges that we are faced with when enforcing this. And the first and biggest being our inability to determine the truth since we rely on selfreported data from hotel owners. We encounter cooked books and second sets of books where theres the books for me and the books for the real use of being recorded. Ive already mentioned the misuse of the temporary conversion exception where hotel owners consider an entitlement. Another challenge is the limit on d. B. I. s authority to initiate enforcement proceedings. We are not considered an interested party. And therefore we cannot initiate complaints. And we do have the ability to assess penalties for recordkeeping violations but not for conversions, which is the main violation of the ordinance.

My colleagues are about to leave me so theres not going to

Good morning to you. Thank you for joining us. Welcome to mornings on two. Im dave clark. Good morning. Im pam cook. Thursday morning, september 28th. Check in with Steve Paulson on the weather.

We have to make sure we have the backs of Law Enforcement and we have to make sure that were a country of law and order. Eepih inflation. Auto workers and all American Workers are feeling it and families are struggling in this economy. Put people back to work. We are using taxpayer money to pay people more to stay at home than to go to work. That is wrong. Every county in america is now a border county because fentanyl has devastated americans in every single state. Seven republicans battled for airtime and a piece of second place in the poll
