City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: March 26, 2024
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Daniel Meuninck, Community Development Director
Subject: Resolution 2024-023: Allowing OBI Seafoods Inc. To Occupy Their
Employee Campground From April 1, 2024 Through October 1, 2024
Background and justification:
OBI Seafoods has requested permission to occupy their employee campground from April 1,
2024, through October 1, 2024 (184 days) as that is the seasonal processing window. City Code
currently doesn’t allow them to occupy housing before April 15th, 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
180 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.
This is an annual request that was approved last year.
