Legislative Meeting - Regular Meeting

Address. Okay. Good afternoon everyone. Today is September 8th, 2026. This is the consent agenda of our two-hour commissioners. Please note that five commissioners are non-commissioners. Commissioner French is in Zoom. We have received comments for the next four weeks. We are sending it to the commissioners. Also, we are continuing with the next four. Only on the next week, we will make the decision. So, we are moving on to the 15th of May. Last week, we had some questions that we had to answer. They have not been answered yet. So, we want to make sure that we are conducting a proper examination. So, we are moving on to the 15th of May. We remind you again, only on the 15th of May. So, as a representative, I urge everyone to stand up as God. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. A nation under God, with freedom and justice for all, has become independent. Okay, five people have registered for this. There is also an online person. So, I am giving everyone a chance. We can allow each person for three minutes. Our usual three-minute time. It will take a lot of time to reduce it. That's why I'm starting from Terry Horn. Okay, good afternoon, commissioners. My name is Terry Horn. I'm a resident of West Plains. I'm here to talk about infrasound. There are no shortcuts for this. It is due to the death of the infrasound cells below 20 Hz, which are beyond human hearing. This is also due to physical and behavioral changes in our cells. I don't see any action to reduce the infrasound from the hyperscale AI data center. I'm not sure what to call this, but when you increase the megawatts of these centers, it increases the infrasound exposure by miles. What this means is that when this reaches 1000 megawatts, my West Plains, West Terrace area will be affected, because that's what you're trying to do. I read a lot that this will affect my area and my home. I know this is not the right topic for you, because you are not staying near this, right? The roadside to West Medical in West Lake is 1173 L. You can't stop this by using conventional medical methods. There is no shortcut. Okay, this is a special kind of oscillation, a linear non-oscillating system. Okay, you have to do the calculations correctly. We have to go back to the most scientific ways we have gained. Most of the studies that explain how the uncontrolled infrasound destroys human bodies are available. Is that what you intend to do? I am asking you with respect, because you are going to establish this above a major water reservoir, which is also full of dams, ponds and rivers. What we are doing is, we are going to establish a system that causes more natural damage to one of the natural objects. This is not an intelligent thing. Let me ask again, what do the best scientific studies say? I don't see anything to protect us or the natural situation in these discoveries or studies. I don't understand what is going on here. Please think about how we can control the infrasound, because it can lead us to death. Thank you. Next, I would like to talk about Timothée Veil, or Veil. Thank you.

From Spokane Valley, I would like to talk about the data center that aims to be built in the Airway Heights. I was here last week, when I was paying more attention to this and listening to your conversation. There were discussions about creating systems for a planning committee. My question is, is anyone here who knows anything about data centers or modern science? Because this is a very new art form, it is very important to create a safe method. If you ask me to imagine a seat belt sitting in a room, I will be able to build anything that feels like a seat belt, but I will not be interested in driving that car. Instead of a car running, what happens here is that a whole community is required to experience the benefits of these activities. In the case of railways, there were many national problems. People were very unhealthy when railways were built, especially the people who were affected by it, but because they could make money, there were a lot of people who supported it. Data centers are not like a railway, because chips do not last long, they have to be renewed every five years. If we examine the financial aspects of this, it is not so easy to think that from talking to many people, this is a trick and there is a possibility of a bubble. Therefore, we can reach to the airway heights, which have been damaged due to air force bases and other reasons, without getting any benefit in the long run. Moreover, we will not get proper security systems in-house. Now, we can call people and inform them about the third-party security measures. It has been proven that the only way for a company to write its own safety standards is to prevent misuse. And, as you know, corporations have to show profits to their employees. So, their main goal is to make profits. Hey, I'm not against that, but this is our water. So, before we move forward, we have to think if the process we use is good for our health. Because, if you ask me to build a seatbelt, will you allow your child to travel in that car? No. That would be stupid. So, I don't understand who is allowed to build their own security systems, or allow a person or a company in the committee to do so. We know why there are situations that don't happen. The third reason is that we can't accept the security systems that a company proposes to us. They have every right to complain, but it is our duty to make sure that it is not harmful to the situation. In this regard, we will not get another opportunity. Then, according to a recent vote, 60% of Americans oppose data centers. Why are we doing this? Language models themselves have not shown much benefit. They show financial problems. We are not sure if this is good in the long run. So, thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you. Next is Jeremy Hardy. We started again. I saw an interesting email. I think it was on the 27th of August. Jeremy Harding spoke in. That email was thanking Sean Boyd. Sean Boyd is one of the people in the Apricus Company. He has been speaking in French for a long time. Scott thanked him for the orders and instructions sent to the data centers. This is one of many such emails. Another email I saw was a forward sent on August 3. It was a part of an email sent in April. In the email sent in April, there was a wonderful slideshow presentation from Apricus. The other things they said in that small slideshow were that they did not intend to improve the closed loop system or the situation. The main reason for this is that in the Ordinance discussion held at the workshop, they said that they would protect the closed loop and the maximum amount of water. That would be only about three percent. This is still not a good thing for the economy and the situation. All of this, according to the slide show in that email, is not good for the public. The public did not know about this. We did not know about this. Do you understand how people here feel about this? Those who are in this room, those who see these posts online, those who see me when I leave things that I have to keep private and secret, those who see me when I leave things that I have to keep private and secret, those who see me when I leave things that I have to keep private and secret, those who see me when I leave things that I have to keep private and secret, Are you aware of the fact that people who don't respond to the issues that affect their surroundings and national security can do anything about it? The reason I can say very clearly is that these things are full of poison, they are observant, they help the government to kill people in India and abroad, they destroy families, they control the waste that you spend, and thus strengthen the dystopian surveillance, war and cruelty. If you think that the public is not against it, you don't know the public.

Thank you. Next is Joseph Godsey. Good afternoon. I am Joseph Godsey. I have been elected to protect the water for the people of Thalwara, the city, and the county. But I cannot protect our water from the threat raised by the Republican Party to all of us. So today, let's think again. A former Republican once told me to agree, but now I will share things that I cannot agree with. I assure you that you can think carefully. First of all, I would like to think about the lives of each person who has been elected and the lives that have been given to them. Now, when a Republican does such harmful things, if you ignore it, each finger will bend. I will openly admit how much I have to ignore in my life. A finger will bend for each Republican Party that has always considered the profits of companies greater than the lives of American citizens. For the sake of every Republican Party that works to ensure the rights and safety of its employees, for the sake of every Republican Party that works to ensure the rights and safety of its employees, for the sake of every Republican Party that works to ensure the rights and safety of its employees, For the sake of each and every Republican Party that has accused those who were involved in the attack. For the sake of each and every Republican Party that has accused those who were involved in the attack. For the sake of each and every Republican Party that has accused those who were involved in the attack. For the sake of each and every Republican Party that has accused those who were involved in the attack. A vote for each and every Republican Party that has committed crimes against the law. A vote for each and every Republican Party that has committed crimes against the nation. A vote for each and every Republican Party that has committed crimes against the law. A vote for each and every Republican Party that has justified the Valavela. A vote for each and every Republican Party that has committed crimes against the United States. In the name of one Republican, I give you the opportunity for their actions. Now, even when your hands are open and when they are closed, imagine the lives of those who have lost their lives in your hands. Blood is flowing from the hands of those who have lost their lives. Your Republican hands are the means of destroying others. You can use the tools you represent to stop them whenever you want. Otherwise, as voters, we will have to do it. I am Joseph Godsey. Let the day you wish come to you. Thank you. Next, I have April Kennedy Gibbons. Greetings to the commissioners. My name is Gabriel. I live in Spokane County, North Carolina. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who participated in the construction of the data center and voted for it for four months. So, Commissioner Jordan, Commissioner Waldroff, Commissioner Carnes, Commissioner Brooks, and Commissioner French online, thank you. So, if the planning commission needs more time to do their job, you have to allow them to stay longer than that. These are the reasons for that. So, I read the whole ordinance and the current ordinance in detail. I have read the things I learned from my environmental science class and I have received very detailed opinions on the ordinance. Things I liked and things that made me happy. Each discussion that took place in the Planning Commission Workshop, the things that were posted on Facebook, and the case files that I read about the shortcomings of this ordinance, I have included them in detail. My plan is to take all of this to a process of crowdfunding, fundraising, and sharing with the public. It will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, at the Airway Heights. This is a public event, so we can check if there is anything on this list that does not meet everyone's expectations. The Planning Commission said that it tracks changes the easiest way to take in all the crores of dollars. So I'm going to take the whole ordinance. I'll write down all the opinions, suggestions, and things I think are necessary for planning awareness and assistance. Then we'll hand over the planning commission to someone. I hope that will really help them. But as a society, it will take us a little time. As a society, we expect that we will be able to reach everyone's goals in one direction and that they will be able to achieve them. Otherwise, we will not have to give each other's opinions. I know that many of you have attended the Planning Commission Workshop. The changes in the Ordinance and the general changes in the Ordinance caused it to fall apart in many places. That is why I am trying to implement that process. But it will take us some time before the Planning Commission takes over. That is why this brings us to this. This is our Earth. This is my Lego, Lego, Earth. Just like our real Earth. If I put this down, this is a weak object. This will break. Right? We only have one Earth. We only have one chance to make this ordinance work properly. Even if it takes more than a few days to make everything clear and close the barriers, there is a barrier on the ground, through which a developer can build unlimited light load data centers that are close to it. They do not have to follow the same rules for large loads. I have another barrier of desire. Those who develop the ordinance will be fined if they break the rules of the ordinance. I will send you the documents about this in crores. Then you can understand that. I want this law to be as strong as possible. The only way to go is to allow enough time for it. So, if the planning commission needs more time, I request you to allow it. Thank you. Thank you. Now we have someone online. Umm.

So it doesn't matter who was the first person to speak. Good afternoon, Commissioners. I'm Brittany Anderson. This board and the majority of the people know what came out of this meeting. I had sent you a special email with questions, but so far I have not received any clear answers. Not only about Big Rock, but I also received more county regulations that made it clear that the Appriates had discussed it. The CEO is directing changes to Spokane County's data center ordinance directly. In the presence of opinions from the Inland Power, a new Big Rock report and a new number of water usage are being submitted to the county commission. I don't have any experience with it. Let me tell you that it is difficult. When the county was developing its own data center systems, I found out that another lead of the Washington Department of Commerce was growing. So I want to get some answers from Rega. Who is the last developer and last user behind BiggerOak? Is it Vantage? Is it Diode? or any other party that has not spoken to the public about it. In connection with Big Rock Operates, any commissioner or county office or NDA, NDA or secretariat has signed the agreement. Most importantly, Operates, Inland Power Developers, Utilities or other agricultural representatives have decided to change or change any of the facilities in the county's registered data center ordinance as required. People have the right to know who is helping to implement those laws in a way that will be useful. We are learning things. We are paying attention. Silence is not a solution. Therefore, please answer the questions in front of you. I have sent a lot of emails. It is like ringing the bell. This is very disappointing. This does not only affect you. This also affects Spokane and the Airway Heights. This is very disappointing. You complain that people don't behave properly in such things. The reason is that we don't get any answer. It is very disappointing. I don't understand why this is so mysterious. Be honest with us. All we want is peace. That's all I have to say. Thank you. Um, Ron, you said there were two of them. Okay. Um, I'm going to let them go. We were in 205. So, I'm going to ask them to give me a minute. So, I don't know. You have to tell me who it is. Yes, hello, I know. Hi, Sakariya. Umm, I can allow you to speak. But I only have a minute of your time. That's what I need now. Yes, that's fine.

Thank you. I live in the West Plains. I work in information technology. New polling details about the phenomenon of large data centers are released every two months. Every time, it shows a growing resistance. The latest poll shows that 79% of Americans do not want to build hyperscale data centers in their communities and 60% of them strongly oppose it. I would like to share some of the news from the last two months. For the first time, AI data centers with Microsoft-based AI data centers are operating using dozens of generators. The Power Plant Foundation, which was established as the first data center in Georgia, has adopted federal air pollution laws. In Wyoming's Meta Data Center, an 8.5 million gallon of polluted water was drained. Thank you. Thank you. There's one more.

O'Briana. Okay, O'Briana, you will get one more minute. Hi, my name is O'Briana. I am from Spokane Valley. Yes, continue. You have one minute. Hi, my name is O'Briana. Hi, my name is O'Briana. I am from Spokane Valley. Can you hear me? Oh, yes, we can hear you. Therefore, I would like to give my opinion about the large load data center that is expected. I think that we should definitely take into account the need to ensure that all large load infrastructures have a 20 MW range and that the high demand is necessary. We have now completed one of the largest fires in Spokane. One of the largest. Because of the Ammonia Line, more attention will be required to data centers. It is said that 19% of these particles are toxic to the air, and it is very likely to catch fire. In addition, tons of lithium batteries are stored in it. For this connection alone, special solutions and special ways to put out the fire will be needed. This is to heat up the earth, to re-establish and rebuild our society, attention should be focused, and not to spread more fire. Thank you very much for everything you do. By the way, I need a data center. Thank you. Okay, so our public discussion ends here. That's why I'm going back to my co-commissioners now. Madam Chair, I suggest that from 3 a.m. to 1 p.m., I agree. I agree. A suggestion from 3 a.m. to 1 p.m. and I agree. Is there any further discussion? Anukulikunnavar devaai, aai, innu paranya aarikuka.

Aai. Aai.

Aai.

Aai.

Nirdeesham aikaganjena paasaai. Aadhu konda nammal veendu minam naalai aaleku kadakunnu. Aadhunna neeti vekkan nyan oru nirdeesham kundu verano.

Veenda.

Veenda. Nammal aadhu neeti vekkuke aana. Therefore, we will not take a decision until September 15th to answer a few more questions on Inam 4A. Therefore, we will bring it back next week. Therefore, I am going to my fellow commissioners for Inam 4B. Madam Chair, Inam 4B is postponed to September 1st. Therefore, in areas that are not incorporated in Spokane County, I propose to approve Public Hearing No. 4B in connection with the implementation of residential recycling in the areas that are not incorporated in Spokane County. After the proposal, the second approval. Are there more discussions? Yes, Commissioner Waldorf. Therefore, I am happy that we are thinking of implementing recycling. I don't know if there is a time limit for us to make changes rather than a year. This is what I asked the rest of the public. I also know that this has been reported. Then Lindsay, you have to come close to the mic. New houses are being built while development is taking place. When a new house is being built right next to a house that is suitable for recycling, I was wondering if there was any way to improve it more than waiting for a forest update. That's a great question. We used to do this once a year. The Board of County Commissioners says that requests will be made once a year in the County Code. In a meeting held last week by Adorni Masiyoyam, he said that there is nothing stopping us from doing this more than once. It takes a lot of time and resources to sell the parcels and parcels stored in the forest reserve. However, we are investigating a property in Silver Lake. In the last week's general hearing, a resident came forward with this. Unfortunately, their property with about 50 houses was not included in it. So we are now investigating it. Another general hearing will have to be held within a week to include that property. So let me say. If we could do this at least once or twice a year for my staff and GIS, GIS staff, it would be great. Malini Segaranakkar has to plan for their roads to be renovated and new houses to be built. So, if we could do this twice or thrice a year for this development, I think that would be the best. But, yes, there is a habit of doing this more times. I am happy to hear that.

Yes, if we can do this at least twice a year, I will encourage it. Because sometimes Malini Shekharanakar comes to the same street. So, it takes time to investigate things. Anyway, thank you for all your actions for this. I really appreciate it. Yes, thank you. Thank you.

Do you have any other comments? Okay, I got an advice for four weeks and got it back. Everyone who agrees, say yes and make it clear. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Pramayam passed as the only candidate. With that, our agenda ends. Is there anything else special? Okay, let me let you know that the 9-1-1-5 is coming over Spokane County. We will start at 11 in the morning and will continue until next Tuesday. So I think everyone can go and enjoy it. Thank you all very much and have a good day.
