All in favor <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS ON ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA <br />Michael Menaker, 1827 West Choke Cherry Drive, stated his concern about Air BnB <br />rentals in Louisville. These rentals do not have business licenses and do not pay taxes. <br />The impacts on residential neighborhoods are problematic; it affects the neighbors and <br />reduces the use of local hotels and these rentals compete with apartment rentals. He <br />asked the Council to send owners letters telling them the rules. He asked Council to <br />address this and require these rentals to pay taxes. <br />
