“Yes, sir. Thank you, because I do appreciate actually being able to have a conversation about moving our city forward. I do want to remind us that regulation and local land use regulation are completely different. So us being proactive versus reactive, kind of hammering out these details of what, if in a data center, is what are small, medium, sizes, usage locations. Having these conversations early on, at least at a minimum, I think are important. So I do appreciate the conversation. And then also, if a developer approaches us before we hammer this out, what does that mean for us if we have…”

“Understood. And then would it be, is there a way to, in this case, because these are so unique and they tend to, they can also be owned by entities that are outside of the United States or foreign entities, is there a way to work on transparency regarding ownership?

But I just want to let people know that how we got here was for a couple of years, the council has been asking for clear and concise information so that we can be good stewards of our tax dollars and good stewards to the people that we know that we need to serve. So we're coming. I cannot speak for the council. I'm coming from that place. My decision was not a no. It was let's figure out how we can make this…”
