Mayor Mark McGrewer called the scheduled City Council meeting to order, said there would be no votes tonight and framed the session as a work session focused on large-scale data centers and public input. He listed key community concerns—water use, electricity demand, utility costs, noise, light and environmental impacts—and said staff had been asked months earlier to study impacts.
