I'm forwarding this so it can be included in public comment, and also I ask: is this the kind of thing that is banned under
our vacation rental ordinance? I'm not understanding how hosts are "donating" their rooms to visiting artists but still
making money.
Thanks,
Carlyn

Dear Mayor Marx, Vice Mayor Smith, Councilmen Ashbaugh and Carpenter, and Councilwoman Christensen,
1
I understand there is a specialstudy session on Tuesday, November 12to address the issue of private residences hosting
short-term rentals, I would like to voice my support for short-term rentals.
Since 1971., Festival Mozaic has attracted internationally-renowned musicians to perform in venues around the Central
Coast. We are able to do this because of the generosity of private citizens who open their homes to our festival artists.
While this is a practice that substantially assists with our bottom line (a concern we are always aware of, given our status
as a nonprofit organization), this is a civic issue as well. Many of our artists return year after year and have developed
significant relationships with their "host" families.
We at the Festival are concerned that the ban on short term rentals will force our host families to fill those rooms with
permanent residents (usually students) in order to bring in extra income,
I encourage you to repeal the ban on short-term rentals, so homeowners can make enough income renting to
vacationers so they can continue to donate those room to non-profit organizations such as Festival Mozaic, the SLO
Symphony and Opera SLO. lt is of vital importance for us to be able to continue bringing the artists of the caliber the
community has come to expect from Festival Mozaic.
Thank you very much for your service to this community.
Sincerely,
n;f iL) T-t\I{i
