The Hood River City Council is expected to pass over the next two nights the code amendments needed to implement short-term rental licensing requirements. The amendments to Title 5 of the municipal code have been worked on at both the planning commission and City Council level for a number of weeks. The Council is expected to pass a first reading Monday night and then hold a special meeting on Tuesday evening for final passage. City Manager Steve Wheeler explains they scheduled the special meeting because a moratorium on new applications for STRs ended last Wednesday. Monday’s meeting begins at 6 p.m. in Hood River City Hall, while Tuesday’s special session will begin at the same time.
