QUESTIONS?
Project Working Group Feedback
IMAC Meeting February 9, 2016
• Positive:
– Connecting with other community members
– Diversity of the PWG
– Strong, open communication, facilitation and participation
– Impact to project: many specific design issues were addressed
• Negative:
– Unclear process, lapses in communication from PDC
– Insufficient interaction with development team
– Time commitment, expectations given size of project
– Minority Report
• Process: CBA fails to provide community benefits commensurate with public investment; community had no leverage
• CBA: not legally binding or enforceable, no legal commitment around quality hiring, no profit sharing provision, in line with existing PDC policies
• Establish Implementation, Monitoring, and Accountability Committee (IMAC)
• Construction Workforce subcommittee to work with Colas Construction, WSI, MCIP
• Micro Enterprise Services of Oregon (MESO) and Natural Grocers to partner on vendor support
• Retail Tenanting Subcommittee to work with PDC and MESO
