Committee debates data-center moratorium language, agrees to study and references county IT response plan
Summary
Members discussed possible moratoria on data centers and whether moratoria are allowed; the committee favored study language and agreed to reference the county IT incident response plan under utilities.
Members raised data-center concerns during the agriculture and utilities discussions, with one member urging a moratorium or study period and others warning about the limits of county authority. The chair said state constraints may limit moratoria but several committee members recommended adding a study action or short-term study moratorium language instead.
The committee also considered an action to "support Ashland County's IT incident response plan" in the utilities chapter to clarify roles, training and incident-response responsibilities. Staff noted the plan itself is not public and that the action could be shortened to "support the plan" until specific staff roles and training items are defined.
