Fire Chief Wolf provided a letter of support and stated in the letter that 60% of the residential fires in the Estes Valley involve short- term vacation rentals over the past five years. It was further noted the Town and the valley have seen a significant increase in fire danger over the years and as such the ordinance includes an emergency order to take effect immediate upon passage by the Board.

As there was no further comments Mayor Koenig closed the public hearing. It was moved and seconded (Younglund/MacAlpine) to approve Ordinance 10-22, and it passed unanimously.
