From the meeting
At its September 3, 2026 meeting, the council adopted a moratorium ending January 1, 2027 on data storage facility applications. City staff said the UDO had no data center-specific standards and needed noise, setback, water, and enforcement rules before any application was processed. The manager also said two consulting firms had been identified to help staff and that work sessions were planned with other jurisdictions.
This is an open planning signal for ordinance support and advisory services.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
