Lima Ranch 39-344 13436 N Thornton Road Page 2 Lodi, CA 95242 Since the housing accommodations noted above include a duplex, you would now be required to obtain an annual employee housing Permit to Operate. As these Permit to Operate provisions are a new and added responsibility, EHD staff will make every effort to answer any questions and provide assistance to make this process as easy and straightforward as possible. The following information on employee housing requirements is provided for your assistance: • Employee Housing Requirements - The requirements for employee housing can be found in the Employee Housing Act, California Health and Safety Code, Section 17000 et seq., and the California Code of Regulations, Title 25, Division 1, Chapter 1, Subchapter 3. Additionally, the "Employee Housing Facility Inspection Information Booklet for Owners, Operators, and Residents," and the "Guide to State and Federal Requirements for Employee/Migrant Housing,"are also enclosed for your guidance. • Annual Permit to Operate Fees - The EHD permit fees for calendar year 2014 are $35.00 per facility, plus $12.00 for each employee. An application for an EHD Permit to Operate for calendar year 2014 will be mailed to you in November 2013. The application must be completed and returned to EHD with the appropriate permit fees. • Annual Employee Housing Inspections - The Employee Housing Act requires employee housing accommodations to be inspected at least annually, before the Permit to Operate can be issued. Beginning in January 2014, EHD staff will contact you to schedule a time for this inspection. Please use the guidance documents enclosed with this letter to review the minimum requirements for employee housing. These are the items, with the exception of those relating specifical y to dormitory-style housing, that will be checked during the inspection. If the inspection identifies any areas that don't meet the minimum State requirements, please be assured that the EHD will furnish information on how to correct the issues and provide sufficient time for the corrections to be made. Once completed, EHD staff will perform a re- inspection to document that the corrections have been accomplished. • Permit to Operate - After the inspection process is complete and all minimum State requirements have been met, an EHD Permit to Operate will be issued for your facility. Thank you for your assistance with this matter. If you have any questions, please contact the EHD Employee Housing Program staff person assigned to your facility, Lori Duncan, Senior REHS, at (209) 468-0337 or lduncan(c).sicehd.com.
