Attachments listed in source PDF: SCC-14.830-redline.docx; Data-center-ordinance-comment-letter.docx I have also attached a redline of the ZTA with the bare minimum changes I think should be made. However, I am extremely frustrated that the process is debating what regulations to put on data centers, rather than if we should even accept them.

Hi Mary, Thanks so much for the update and for your help with this! Sorry that my email came off so heated, I was amped from that county commission meeting and am absolutely disgusted by what Al French is doing. If commissioner Waldron would like any of my research, I’d be happy to share it.

Hi Commissioner Waldref, My name is Spencer Lambdin and I testified at the meeting yesterday (the one who kinda got kicked out). I am currently sending a large public data records request for Al French's communications with Apricus and Capitol Path Consulting. However, the County Public Records average days to close is 50.4 with a median of 6 days, meaning large requests take forever to complete. With the 60 day timeline for public hearing, I will most likely not receive the data before the hearing, let alone be able to parse through it. Is there anything you or your office could do to help expedite this? Thanks, Spencer Lambdin Spokane, WA spencerwlambdin@gmail.com • (509) 481-0423 • LinkedIn
