“Okay. And then we go to consent. Consent. Just other proclamations, the ratification of collective bargaining agreement. I wanted to thank all of those that were involved in that. I know that that is a huge undertaking and we really appreciate the work that those of you who are involved in that have done. So I know that we won't necessarily get to talk about that because it is on consent, but I did want to express gratitude for that. So William, let's talk about vacation rentals. Can you summarize what we already voted on and what we're changing specifically on Tuesday if the unfinished…”

“Okay, so let me ask this question. Why would a short-term rental differ from a long-term rental in its definition of why would that one get commercial rates and one not?”

“Thanks, Ed. And I also, that's kind of what I asked, why I asked that question about what are we exactly voting about on Tuesday. Do you think it, without, Anthony, do you think without having the decisions about the rates and or registry that we're ready to make that decision. I mean, I can make my decision, but do you think that we're going to be in the exact same spot we were last time?”

“Okay. So, yeah, those are the things that we will discuss on Tuesday. I just don't... I wanted to clarify what was in the ordinance and what was not in the ordinance so that we knew exactly where we were in this process.”

“Oh, nothing. Nothing. I'm sorry. I thought you said something. I was getting some texts and people are saying we don't want the 50% decrease. And I just want to be clear that that's not what we're saying. We're saying we're going to find the cost of service. We're going to create the actual fee. Whatever is... the difference between the new fee that just covers the cost of service, as well as the administrative costs, all of the stuff that it takes to actually get this job done that in the $300, that's going to be the credit. If that's clear, does that make sense?”
