“driver just promised following up on that chase the year-over-year for short-term rentals in July there was slide day it's showing 1% decline in July I'm assuming as versus July of 2025 correct But then when I look at 2025's year over year, which I'm assuming is against 2024, I'm negative three. Correct. You use the word trend. Yeah. I'm curious and wanting to know as we move along, is this truly a trend that we're seeing?

And during that report, he mentioned that we'll be having a discussion at the F&A meeting on September 14th. The news cameras, Critics, they probably not going to be at that meeting. But I encourage all of town council to be there. I said this at our July 9th meeting, I think it was the four hour meeting.
