Agenda Item: Resolution 2023-034: Authorizing the Kenai Peninsula Borough School
District to Operate Campgrounds on the Seward School Properties in order
to Accommodate the Need for Overflow Camping on the 4th of July Holiday
Weekend
Background and justification:
Off and on in past years, the Seward Schools have opened their parking lots for overflow camping
on the 4th of July Holiday weekend, a time where camping demand far exceeds supply. This helped
in the efforts to keep people from camping in undesignated areas. The school district provides
personnel to monitor the camping on their sites so that no city resources were needed.
7.15.010 Camping, municipal.
(a) No camping, other than as specified in section 15.10.226, shall be allowed within the City limits
except in areas designated as municipal campgrounds by resolution of the City Council or in
private camper parks operating under a permit. "Municipal campgrounds" means campgrounds
owned or operated by the City and designated as public campgrounds by resolution of the City
Council. Fees for camping in municipal campgrounds shall be set by resolution of the City
Council. Camping on private land is subject to Chapter 8.15 and Chapter 15.10.
