Summary

Council asked residents to apply for an ad hoc committee that will include subcommittees on water, power and infrastructure; councilmembers recommended including a utility representative and academic expertise and set a provisional first meeting date for August 18.

Councilmembers outlined a process for forming an ad hoc committee to study data-center policy, asking interested residents and experts to complete a two-sided application and return it by Friday. Committee work will be organized into subcommittees focusing on water, power, infrastructure and emergency services; councilmembers asked for a utility representative and city staff on the panel.

Council members said the ordinance establishing the committee will take effect 30 days after passage, meaning the committee cannot legally meet as an official body until that waiting period expires. Councilmembers tentatively set the first committee meeting for Tuesday, Aug. 18 at 5:30 p.m. and encouraged residents to attend and help educate the community.
