Tuolumne Supervisors To Respond To Grand Jury, Consider Data Center Moratorium
The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors will consider a proposed 45-day moratorium on AI data centers at their upcoming meeting. The measure was introduced by District Two Supervisor Ryan Campbell, following a similar action in nearby Calaveras County. The board will also vote on responses to critical Grand Jury reports concerning public trust and the Community Development Department.
The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to hold a meeting on Tuesday, during which several key items will be addressed. A significant part of the agenda includes a vote on approving responses to the 2025-26 Grand Jury Reports, which previously issued critical findings regarding public trust and the Community Development Department. Board Chair Steve Griefer submitted the proposed responses, and the collective board will determine whether to agree, partially disagree, or wholly disagree with the Grand Jury's findings.
Additionally, the board will discuss a proposal for a 45-day moratorium on AI data centers. District Two Supervisor Ryan Campbell is advocating for this measure, drawing a parallel to a recently approved moratorium in neighboring Calaveras County. The meeting, which is open to the public, will also cover topics such as ongoing labor negotiations and amendments to a professional services agreement with the Stanislaus National Forest.
