ROCKPORT A timeline posted on the Town of Rockport website illustrates a series of hearings and public meetings that is to lead up to a proposed short-term rental ordinance appearing before residents on the June ballot. Meanwhile, the Town Manager has responded to a citizen’s letter taking issue with the use of taxpayer dollars funding a mailing that included Select Board opinion on the ordinance.
William Post, town manager, has countered: “The intent was not to lobby for a particular result. The intent was to be informative.”
See below for full letter.
The ordinance would regulate short-term rentals in Rockport. If enacted by voters, the ordinance would limit the number of short-term rentals allowable in particular zoning districts throughout Rockport, require each homeowner wishing to rent out their property to register with the town Code Enforcement Officer each year and be willing to have their property inspected by the Code Enforcement Officer and the Fire Chief.
