The Eureka City Council is scheduled to consider two property-related policy measures at its Oct. 6 meeting: an extension of a moratorium on data-center siting and creation of a foreclosed and vacant property registration program.
The council’s agenda calls for a public hearing on Bill No. 1063-C.S., described as an urgency ordinance imposing a moratorium on the siting of data centers in Eureka. The agenda recommendation also asks the council to waive a full reading and adopt the measure.
The council is separately scheduled to consider Bill No. 1062-C.S. under ordinances and resolutions. The proposed ordinance would add sections 150.130 through 150.137 to the Eureka Municipal Code to establish a foreclosed and vacant property registration program, according to the agenda. The recommendation is for the council to waive a full reading and adopt the bill.
The agenda identifies the proposed actions but does not establish whether either measure will pass, whether the data-center moratorium will be amended, or how long it would remain in effect. It also does not provide the registration program’s fees, enforcement process or implementation timeline. Those details would need to be confirmed in the ordinance text and any council action or subsequent city records.
