City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 13, 2023
To: City Council
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Community Development
Agenda Item: Resolution 2023-030: Allowing OBI Seafoods Inc. to occupy their Employee
Campground from March 24, 2023 through October 31, 2023
Background and justification:
OBI Seafoods has requested permission to occupy their employee campground from March 24
through October 31 (222 days) as that is the seasonal processing window. City Code currently
doesn't allow them to occupy housing before April 151h, after September 30th, or for more than 180
days, unless through City Council Resolution. Applicable code is referenced below:
City Code 15.10.226(j)(1) Employee campgrounds are for established businesses
with high seasonal employment of transient workers, and are not to be construed
as construction camps. No employee campground may be open for more than 18O
days per calendar year, and may not open earlier than April 15, nor remain active
later than September 30, except by resolution of the City Council based on specific
findings that a longer term, earlier opening date and/or later closing date is
warranted because of special circumstances.
The P&Z Commission has this in the queue to review this Title 15 language as it is an annual
request.
