From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, staff asked City Council to direct research and drafting of a data center ordinance. The attached draft would regulate data centers, battery energy storage systems (BESS), cooling, noise, water use, emergency planning, and site plan review in M-2 and industrial overlay areas. This is an early-stage policy signal that the city is shaping the rules before specific projects move forward.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
