Council adopts six-year street plan, accepts grant for DUI patrol officer; defers data center moratorium

Council President Betsy Wilkerson said the city council adopted a six-year street plan, accepted a grant to fund a DUI-dedicated patrol officer and deferred action on a proposed data center moratorium to June 22 during a council recap meeting.

Wilkerson, who introduced the items in the brief recap, praised retiring employee Terri Pfister, saying, “We say a fond farewell to her and thank you for your years of service.” She also noted the council issued a proclamation recognizing Juneteenth and directed residents to the city website for event listings.

“Council also adopted the 6 year street plan,” Wilkerson said, adding residents can view projects that will be coming to their neighborhoods on the city website. The transcript records the council’s adoption but does not include a motion text, the names of a mover or seconder, or a recorded vote tally for the street-plan action.

On public-safety funding, Wilkerson said, “Council also approved and accepted a grant for a DUI dedicated patrol officer. We know traffic has been challenging.” The transcript does not specify the grant amount or the funding source beyond the grant’s existence.

She announced the data center moratorium was deferred until June 22, pausing further council action on that item until that date. Wilkerson also said the council will change its meeting schedule beginning Tuesday, July 14: agenda review meetings will be held on Tuesdays at 11 a.m., council committee meetings on Tuesdays at 1 p.m., and the legislative session will be held on Wednesdays (the transcript cuts off before a time was stated).

The transcript does not specify the city by name, does not record vote tallies or mover/second information for the adopted items, and omits the dollar amount for the DUI grant. The next formal council action or vote on the deferred moratorium would occur on or after June 22, per the council’s statement in the recap.
