Advisory committee weighs event-linked dry camping to boost arena revenue
Summary
Committee members discussed allowing supervised dry camping tied to events to create a revenue stream, possibly with metered electrical hookups; they flagged health-department concerns and suggested limiting camping to event attendees.
Committee members proposed reopening an on-site dry camping area for event attendees to increase arena revenue. S3 argued the grounds previously hosted camping and that supervised, event-only dry camping could provide a reliable income source and fund future infrastructure such as toilets and metered sites.
Members discussed health-department pushback but noted existing restroom facilities could support supervised dry camping tied to events. S2 and S3 emphasized restricting camping to event participants to avoid open, unsupervised camping. The committee asked staff to outline permitting, public-health requirements, and potential revenue models for a future agenda item.
