Assessing Nestlé Project Impacts

Nestlé Proposal Consideration Process 1. City and ODFW filed for a cross transfer of water rights April 10, 2015 2. Townhall meeting inviting Cascade Locks residents’ comments and questions 3. City and ODFW negotiate an intergovernmental agreement the use of Oxbow Springs water and City replenishment water 4. Oregon Water Resources Board issues permit decision

Nestlé Proposal Consideration Process 5. City communicates to Nestlé the issues and concerns raised by the community which any proposal from the company needs to address 6. If City cross transfer of water rights with ODFW is approved, it is anticipated that Nestlé will present a proposal to the Port for land to the City for development of that land.

Nestlé Proposal Consideration Process 7. City and Port vet any proposal for compliance with Community Development Code and responsiveness to issues and concerns presented to Nestlé, and negotiate contract(s) to provide utility services 8. Sale of the land must be approved by the Port Commission 9. Development of the land must be approved by the City

Project Issues Examined by the City 1. Can the City legally sell “waters of the State of Oregon” to a business? 2. Is there enough water available that the City will not be damaged by the sale of that water in any way? 3. Is the process appropriate for the end goal? 4. What is the benefit to the ODFW Fish Hatchery? 5. Can the City establish limits, both mechanical and contractual, that protect the City in the long run?

Project Issues Examined by the City 6. Who pays the bill? 7. What is the “enterprise zone property tax abatement incentive”? 8. How does the City benefit financially if we don’t get the property taxes for a while? 9. What is the impact of development in the Business Park on City Streets?
