New data center projects may still be submitted, but the city will not evaluate them during the moratorium. Existing projects with valid permits, site-specific vesting plans, or development agreements are excluded. The council also authorized review of a 2.356-acre annexation petition and approved a $1.4 million budget increase for the Health Insurance Fund, with equal revenue and expense increases and no effect on fund balance.
