What's on this agenda

Commissioners called a 2:30 p.m. special session with two votes on data centers and nothing else. The first would have the board itself apply to amend the county zoning ordinance's rules for data centers. The second would schedule a legislative public hearing on those amendments for November 30, 2026.

The agenda and the two item records carry only the motions. Neither says what the amendments would change, and no draft text is attached.
