The committee voted to send an amended resolution about data centers to the full City Council for adoption. That resolution asks the Mayor's office to work with the Council on policies because data centers can affect the electric grid, water use, utility rates, land use, jobs, and public health. The committee also reviewed the City Light Department's two-year plan for meeting future energy needs (the Integrated Resource Plan) but the minutes record only discussion, not a committee approval.
