TD Council Questions Taylor Lakes Fee Disbursement Plan

The Dalles City Council asked numerous questions on a proposed plan for disbursement of the annual community service fee Google pays in its Enterprise Zone agreement for its Taylor Lakes facility.  The plan would call for using the Wasco County Economic Development Commission’s already existing Community Enhancement Project process to identify projects that would be vetted by Mid-Columbia Economic Development District before going to the City and County for approval.  But a number of Councilors were concerned about that list not having enough City involvement, and Councilor Dan Richardson said with Google’s possible fourth and fifth phases coming, it’s worth taking plenty of time to examine the disbursement process.  City Manager Julie Krueger said she will take questions back to the group that put the recommendation together, and report back to the Council.
