Council approves advisory committee to draft data center ordinance
Summary
The council approved Resolution 70-26 to create a multi-stakeholder advisory committee to draft a data center ordinance; members and process were debated to ensure technical expertise and public input.
The Cascade City Council approved Resolution 70-26 to establish an advisory committee tasked with preparing a data center ordinance. Staff said the committee will include experts and representatives who can bring technical knowledge to the process; the intent is that the committee compiles information and forwards a draft to the planning and zoning board for formal consideration.
Council members and public commenters discussed committee size and composition: suggestions included members from the planning and zoning board, city council representatives, concerned citizens, economic development and technical experts (HVAC/cooling, fire chief). Alice Rogers said the Concerned Citizens group provided a candidate list and emphasized a balanced membership, noting “we want people from the entire community.” The council directed staff to assemble a candidate list and consider formally approving it at the next meeting.
