Elected officials form roundtable,
weigh casino impact on county
An informal group of elected officials, called together
by state Rep. Richard Curtis,
became an intergovernmental roundtable last week, with the objective of
researching and analyzing the pros and cons of the proposed Cowlitz Casino
Resort near La Center.
During an hour-and-a-half meeting Saturday, attended by
council members, commissioners, state representatives, and an audience of
another 60 persons, the group of elected officials agreed to maintain an
informal status under the name of Intergovernmental Roundtable and restrict
membership to official governmental representatives.
The group heard David
Barnet, Cowlitz Tribal manager, outline what the tribe hoped to achieve
when its 152-acre site west of Interstate 5 at the La Center Junction was fully
built: 160,000 square feet of gaming, 210 square feet of restaurant and retail
facilities, 150,000 square feet of convention and entertainment facilities, a
250-room hotel, and a tribal cultural center and government offices.
Before that can happen, an environmental impact statement
must be completed and, following that, the U.S. government must provide tribal
trust status for the land.
Participating in Saturday’s meeting, in addition to
Curtis, who is also a member of the La Center City Council, were State Sen.
Don Benton (R-17), Cowlitz County
commissioner Kathleen Johnson, Vancouver
City Council members Larry Smith and
Tim Leavitt, Battle Ground mayor
John Idsigna and deputy mayor
Sandra Barnes, Clark County commissioners
Steve Stuart and
Marc Boldt, State Rep.
Deb Wallace (D-17th), La Center mayor
Jim Irish, Ridgefield City Council member
Gladys Doriot, Port of Ridgefield
commissioner Joe Melroy, and Cowlitz
Tribal Council member Philip Harju. .
The next meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb.
26, in the Clark County Public Service Center.
Jeanne Lawson,
Portland is the facilitator for the roundtable.
