City Council Weighs Data Center Moratorium, Budget Votes; Police Committee to Examine Staffing
The Georgetown City Council discussed a possible moratorium on new data centers and moved toward votes on a budget amendment and land sale contracts during its most recent meeting, while a police committee prepares to address staffing and facility needs in a special session next week.
Council agenda piled high with land, money items
On June 22, the council’s agenda included first readings of two zoning text amendments—ZOTA-2025-05 for mixed-use districts and ZOTA-2025-06 for planned unit developments—and a second reading and vote on an FY 2025-2026 budget amendment ordinance. Two Georgetown Municipal Water and Sewer Service contracts were also on the table: $134,724.07 with Judy Construction and $12,950 with Environmental Systems Research Institute. Land sale contracts for a staging area and waste disposal equipment assembly/distribution at 195 Endeavor Drive in Lanes Run Business Park rounded out the action items.
Discussion of new business included a proposed moratorium on data centers. Official minutes were not available by press time, so outcomes of any votes were not immediately known.
