Planners require employer verification and tie workforce stays to employment; six-month administrative cap discussed

Commissioners discussed several enforcement tools to ensure workforce lodging remains temporary. Staff proposed that campsite owners collect employer verification with start and end employment dates and provide those records to the county on request; commissioners also recommended notifying the county at the start of each tenant term so staff can track occupancy and enforce duration limits.

On duration, commissioners generally agreed that occupancy should be tied to employment dates rather than an arbitrary short-term cutoff, but that the draft ordinance should contain a backstop: stays tied to employment "not to exceed six months" before administrative reapproval. The group also agreed that owners should remove units when employment ends unless an approved extension is granted through the administrative process.
