Resident raises transparency concerns over data centers and nondisclosure agreements
Summary
A resident told the council she had requested public records relating to data centers and alleged staff refused to provide information, citing nondisclosure agreements; she said the lack of transparency had left citizens 'alienated and betrayed.'
During the public-comment portion of the Aug. 24 meeting, Pat Castica said she had requested records under the Oklahoma Open Records Act on July 21 and July 31 relating to data centers, AI centers and solar farms in Muskogee and said staff had delayed or denied the requests. She told the council she believed nondisclosure agreements were in place and said city staff had treated her rudely when she followed up.
“As citizens feel alienated and betrayed by this counsel and staff,” she said, urging the council to provide the requested records or be held accountable. Castica told the council she had contacted state and federal law-enforcement agencies about the matter and asked for the records to be supplied with correct and accurate information.
