Data is collected weekly and we currently collect, aggregate and de-duplicate all listing data, reviews, calendar info and photos across the SO top short-term rental listing sites. We estimate this represents 99% of the total vacation rental universe in City of San Rafael's jurisdiction. Data can be segmented and analyzed by a number of parameters including: • Listing site • location (as defined by a boundary box or polygon i.e. neighborhood) • Property Type (Apartment, House, Condo etc.) • Room Type (Entire home, Room etc.) • # of Bedrooms and Bathrooms • Minimum # of nights available for rent • Host Name/ID • Listings of Other Rentals Offered by the Host • # of Reviews • First Review dates • Last review date • Date the property was first active • Whether or not the property is subject to San Rafael's Rent Stabilization Ordinance • Rental Frequency • Rental Rate (dollar amount and whether it is nightly, weekly, etc.) • Minimum Days Required for Rental • Dollar amount of Transient Occupancy Tax owed if this were a legal business The Custom Data Deliverables will include: • Written quantitative report on the STR activity in City of San Rafael's jurisdiction. The exact scope is TBD based on the City's exact requirements. Please note that the dataset used for the report will be similar to the data currently provided to the City and may not include the exact addresses of all short-term rental listings • One in-person meeting in City of San Rafael to present the report and findings at a mutually convenient date/time Short-term Rentals Ordinance Consulting Services Serving local governments with short-term rental compliance monitoring and enforcement solutions, Host Compliance has developed a deep understanding of what works and what doesn't when it comes to regulating short-term rentals.

The specific project team that we would want to dedicate to this project will consist of two nationally renowned experts in the field: Jeffrey Goodman Jeffrey is an urban planner and considered one of the nation's leading authorities on short-term rentals and how they impact communities. He has previously contracted with both the City of New Orleans and Airbnb, and advised researchers on short-term rentals in range of cities including San Francisco, Portland, New Orleans, and New York. Jeff has spoken about short-term rentals across North America, including at the APA's National Planning Conference.

Ulrik previously served in a variety of leadership roles in management consulting, private equity, startups and the military and developed his distinctive strategic and analytical skill-set at McKinsey & Company and the Harvard Business School. The custom project deliverables will include: • Customized project timeline and work plan to meet City of San Rafael's timing requirements and deadlines • Qualitative report on the leading regulatory and enforcement approaches currently used in other jurisdictions to achieve each of the following policy objectives: o Minimize impact on the supply and/or affordability of the long-term rental housing supply. o Maintain the residential character of residential communities (e.g. neighborhoods, multi-family buildings). o Minimize any safety risks of short-term rentals, over and above risks of long-term rentals. o Treat short-term rental accommodation providers -hotels, bed and breakfasts, peer-to-peer rental-equitably. o Set and enforce regulatory compliance targets o Implement simple, transparent, customer-oriented regulatory and enforcement processes. o Recover costs of enforcement efforts. • Written case studies of 2 representative jurisdictions that have adopted the regulatory and enforcement approaches outlined above: o A summary of the adopted rules a nd enforcement models. o An assessment of the effectiveness of the approach in achieving the stated policy objectives. o An assessment of the enforcement costs. • Enforcement focused planning work-session with City of San Rafael's key stakeholders.
