Description/Background:
As a result of a recent code amendment for STR's, there was a requirement for staff to create a management certification course and bring this back to the City Council for approval. Multiple departments have worked together to create a video that potential STR owners must watch and then answer a 25 question test (and pass with at least 80%) in order to apply for a Special Use Permit and Business License for a STR.
The information from the video and the Sandy City Code provides the answers needed in order to pass the test.
Staff would like to show the video (imbedded in slide 5) and walk through the test (link in slide 6) with the City Council. With the Council approval of the STR management certification course, staff will start implementing this process for new and existing STR owners.
