headquarters.

Monday 3/3/14.

for Taylor Way for pipeline to the Snail Property (30 acres).
 CECC needs up to 60 days to do due diligence on Parcel
14 and the snail property.
 CECC wants option on the Arkema property – need to
determine if we can do and how much to charge.
 CECC wants to barge from Kalama and Clatskanie to POT
and then load ocean going vessels (Cape Class ) at Port of
Tacoma. This will require a pocket dredge by POT to 56’ at
EB1. Engineering will have an estimate early next week.

Agrex presents a modified proposal for infrastructure and financial
incentives to the Port of Tacoma.
 REDUCED land from 45 to 38 acres.
 OFFERED TO PAY $15 million in infrastructure costs. Still leaves
over $20 million as Port of Tacoma responsibility.
 PCT gate would have to move – POT staff indicated Agrex should
bear this cost.
 BPA authorization questionable as Agrex needs to offer them a
route into their property – at their expense.
 POT staff indicated we would review and respond.
