During the citizen‑comment portion, several residents raised two recurring concerns: gaps in mailed public notices and a neighborhood campaign opposing a proposed data center (referred to in testimony as Project Tomahawk).
Kurt Mooney told the commission he and neighbors did not receive consistent notice and asked how the city calculates the 200‑foot notification boundary. "So how do we determine, what were the homes that were in that 200 foot boundary?" he asked, noting homes on both sides of adjacent streets had not been included in prior mailings.
A speaker who identified themself as a Republican precinct chair said a bipartisan network of precincts had formed to oppose a nearby data center, arguing the parcel is too small and the power and infrastructure demands are incompatible with the location. Several residents asked the commission to avoid changing agricultural land to industrial or data‑center zoning. Town staff confirmed Project Tomahawk may appear on a forthcoming Council agenda and encouraged residents to use official notice channels.
The commission acknowledged the concerns about notification timing and said staff would review the public‑notice process; the town’s staff packet and meeting minutes will document upcoming Council items including the data‑center project.
