Tamarack City Planning Guide
Tamarack City Planning Guide
The economics of a city should not rely solely on one industry, tying its fate to the successes and failures of that industry. The City of Tamarack hopes to strike a financial, structural, and cultural balance between our current partnerships with the mining industry and our future endeavors in tourism.
As Representatives of the City of Tamarack, we have outlined below our goals in the negotiation process and the strategy behind achieving them.
Who do we represent? • Residents of Tamarack • City officials • Supporters of both industries (mining and tourism) • Environmentalists
Goals • Approve a location for the next mine that will not hamper our efforts in tourism • Restore consumed mines with the help of Twin Lakes Mining at a low economic impact to Tamarack city • Repair current roads and pave dirt roads used by city residents • Apply a fair and equitable tax rate to the new mining location • Maintain a long-term relationship with Twin Lakes Mining • Reach an agreement that yields 198 points
Negotiation Issues/Bargaining Mix
The major issues of negotiation: • Site of Next Mine o We aim to keep any new site away from high potential resort areas making Eagle Falls an ideal location. Each of the other four options do not appear to be solid mining sites and will represent a missed opportunity in tourism.
• Restoration of Consumed Mines o Twin Lakes has met its legal obligation of restoring the mines to prevent erosion but we would like to see at least partial restoration if not full restoration of the area to aid in the overall environmental health of our city. • Road Maintenance o Road damage occurs during the winter, mostly from the impact of mining trucks and less so from resident use, so we would like to negotiate the maintenance of those roads with Twin Lakes. The range roads in question are all roads in the city,
