Is Patrick Gossett Serious?

He has been talking in recent meetings about the Vacation Rental Ordinance he has been working on which will potentially divide neighborhoods in the City of Rehoboth into those that could offer rentals and those that can't. He is also talking about eliminating rentals entirely or holding a lottery for 100 rentals per season (there are currently 3,300). Toni Sharp seems to be in on this as well so you may want to call her at 302-227-6181 and have a chat.

This is after Patrick Gossett's co-sponsorship with Sam Cooper of the Ordinance that will PROHIBIT RENTERS FROM USING SWIMMING POOLS AND HOT TUBS AT RENTAL HOUSES. This applies to children and adults alike. The vote on that Ordinance will occur at City Hall on June 19 at 7 pm. Please attend and wear a red shirt if you oppose this idea.

He and Bill Sargent who is FOR THE ORDINANCE TO ELIMINATE POOL USAGE BY RENTERS are UP FOR REELECTION ON AUGUST 8, 2015. Please REGISTER TO VOTE at City Hall in person by Friday, June 12. You must own property in the City of Rehoboth Beach personally or in a ltd. partnership or trust or llc. However, if you own in an llc and rent it, you must reside in the property in the 6 months prior to the election. 

Going forward, if that is the case, in order to vote, you may lease the property from the llc to the owner via a 10-or-more-year lease so you may have a single vote in municipal elections and run for office.
