Resident urges decommissioning bonds, transparency for data-center projects
Summary
John Marshall, a District 9 resident, told council large projects such as data centers should require decommissioning bonds and transparency, asked the city not to sign NDAs, criticized property taxes, and raised roadway vegetation and maintenance concerns on DeLong Road.
John Marshall, a resident of District 9, used the non-agenda public-comment period to press the council on large projects and local maintenance issues.
"I think all large projects in Fayette, Lexington, should require, decommissioning bonds for these sites, so that they clean them up," Marshall said, arguing that data-center sites should include financial guarantees to ensure future cleanup. He also asked for transparency in project review and said he did not want the city to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) that would limit public information. Marshall raised separate concerns about property tax levels and roadside vegetation and pavement conditions on DeLong Road that he said had not been adequately maintained.
Council did not respond at length during the public-comment time recorded in the transcript; the remarks were entered into the record. Marshall identified himself by name and his District 9 address during the three-minute comment period.
