Resident raises mosquito, data‑center and neighborhood improvement concerns during public comment
Summary
Resident Patricia Corey asked about a physician contact regarding data‑center impacts, criticized lack of improvements in southern Hobart, and asked whether the city would resume mosquito spraying; the mayor said spraying was discontinued to protect pollinators and denied plans for a beer garden at Festival Park.
During public comment resident Patricia Corey (7203 Colorado) questioned whether Councilman Rodriguez had contacted a physician she had asked him to about data‑center impacts; Mr. Rodriguez said he had done so. She asked whether the city would spray for mosquitoes, noting they 'are horrible'; Mayor Huddlestun replied the city would not be spraying 'due to the pollinators and the health impacts that spraying causes' and that residents may spray their own property if they wish.
Corey raised concerns that annexed southern areas of Hobart had not received improvements and said she had heard of a planned 'enormous beer garden' at Festival Park; the mayor said that was not the case and that planned renovations at Festival Park were intended 'for everyone.' She also asked about Patriot Park and was told a developer will appear before the Plan Commission in August or September. The meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m.
