Desert Security Service
These are the hours that the vacation rental hotline receives the majority of the vacation
rental calls. City Staff also schedules them on holidays and for additional hours on
certain weekends that will be busy with high tourism occupancy and special events.
Since inception of the pilot program, Desert Security has responded to 80 vacation
rental calls.
During their hours, while Desert Security is not responding to a vacation rental call, they
are stationed and patrol the Downtown and Uptown area to provide an additional
security presence, and to report to the City any issues that may need additional
attention.
FISCAL IMPACT:
For the reminder of this fiscal year the General Fund cost will not exceed $17,000. Staff
will authorize a budget transfer from continuing appropriations to account
001-1150-43226 (Vacation Rental Compliance), to fund the pilot program for the
remainder of the current fiscal year.
