Gardner\u2019s motion to postpone it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Celico was at the Capitol to present on the issue of short-term rentals in Summit County as well as implementation concerns with the bill as written. Celico said legislators called on him, a Grand County commissioner and a Gunnison County commissioner to speak on the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the conversation, the legislators asked some good questions and left some hope for some sort of study,\u201d Celico said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While Celico said he wasn\u2019t sure what exactly a study would look like, he said it could be a good start. He also reported that the session was more of a conversation about the issue rather than an effort to pass the bill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt sounded like a brainstorming,\u201d Celico said. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone has a great idea on how to solve (the issue).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gardner said Feb. 6 that his plan to continue the short-term rental conversation is to hold informal, legislative stakeholder meetings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyhinews.com\/news\/short-term-rental-tax-bill-postponed-indefinitely\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Sky-Hi News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FRISCO \u2014 A proposed bill that sought to classify short-term rental properties as commercial rather than residential for tax purposes was shot down Tuesday, Feb. 11, in a Colorado Senate finance session.
