Good Afternoon Public Works Committee Members: We are working to set up a zoom meeting with the City of Quincy to discuss their experiences with data centers. Initially we were hoping to meet sometime this week or next, but it appears Quincy has scheduling conflicts for the next two weeks. I am emailing to ask how the last week of June works for your calendar. Let me know if you have any conflicts on June 29, June 30, July 1, or July 2. Thank you, Albert Tripp City Manager, City of Airway Heights 509.434.4885 Cell

Good afternoon, Albert! I have not forgotten you. As you can imagine, issues continue to flare up, and meetings get in the way of resolutions. Please provide me with some dates for you and your contemporaries and we'll see what we can get arranged. My next two weeks may be a struggle. As you know, I am the Interim City Administrator, and we are preparing a schedule for the week of the 23rd to interview our finalists. Perhaps the last week of June? Would that work, or do you prefer something closer? Best regards, Greg Meinzer Interim City Administrator City of Quincy PO Box 338 Quincy, WA 98848 (509) 787-3523 ext. 213

Good Morning, Susanne: A quick history of Quincy: We are a small rural agricultural community of 8200 residents within the Corporate City Limits. Prior to the arrival of data centers in our community, we were primarily an agricultural city with food processors, apple packing sheds, CA Storages and potato storage/packing sheds. The City of Quincy annual budget was very tight at that time. In approximately 2006 construction of the data centers began. Prior to this Microsoft (the first of seven in town) came doing a feasibility study and their due diligence on locating in Quincy. We had very little information on what a data center was. They took our staff and mayor to one of their facilities and walked us through the buildings explaining what they did. Clear and Concise Environmental submittal and reviews. - Economic and community impact The arrival of data centers has greatly increased our tax base allowing a number of improvements over the past 20 years. This includes infrastructure and roadway upgrades as well as community and public facilities. We have been able to build a Public Library, New Police Station, Northside Fire station/EMS, City Hall, Public Services Building and we are currently constructing a new Aquatic Center. We recently opened a new hospital and in 2020 a state-of-the-art high school. - Environmental considerations Back-up or emergency generators, air quality permits to assure lowest level of emissions. Confirm if there is any blow down water from cooling. If so what how are by products (wastewater) going to be dealt with. Noise from generators. Buffers, zoning and sound walls. - Infrastructure demands (energy, water, etc.) Hydropower and water at this point are challenges but are being worked through as we speak. The data centers use significant power but are less than 10% of our 2.2 billon annual water budget. The data centers actively participate in assisting addressing these challenges through monetary support and conservation techniques. - Questions our community should be asking during this process What impacts will a data center have on: traffic, neighbors, and the community. - The towns overall opinion The cities overall opinion is positive due to the additional revenues through property taxes and the community involvement by the data centers. The City of Quincy is grateful for the data centers and their community support. If you should have further questions, feel free to call or email me. Have a great day.
