Dear Mayor Bubenik and Tualatin City Council:

Thank you to the City for promptly releasing the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for Lam's SIP proposal. If the agreement, that was negotiated under this NDA and behind closed doors, is truly as beneficial as the proponents make it out to be, then it will surely benefit from more publicity and public awareness. We ask that you delay your vote until the City has engaged the public in a meaningful way. A tax break of this magnitude demands a robust public engagement process.

The public has not had adequate time to review these documents.

During the TUX land use-hearings, Lam and their proponents touted the economic benefits that this project would provide, but now that construction is underway, Lam is proposing to eliminate a significant portion of that economic benefit. This is a classic bait-and-switch.

I respectfully request that you pause your vote on this proposal until the public has had adequate time to review it and identify all of the potential impacts and unintended consequences of Lam's tax avoidance plan.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
