# May 2026 Quorum Court Agenda Packet The agenda packet for the Pulaski County Quorum Court's **5th Regular Meeting, Tuesday, May 26, 2026** — the meeting at which the data-center moratorium was considered — together with the email that transmitted it. ## What's inside - `May FQC packet.pdf` — 27-page scanned packet (OCR'd): a late-item memo, the meeting agenda, the full text of each agendaed item, and the minutes of the prior (April 28, 2026) meeting awaiting approval. - `0306_001.pdf` — a screenshot of [[Justin Blagg]]'s 2026-05-20 Outlook email forwarding "May 2025 QC Meeting" (the packet PDF) to Justice [[Dianne Curry]]. ## Key contents - **Late-item memo (2026-05-19), from [[Justin Blagg]], Director of Quorum Court Services/Parliamentarian:** *"there is a late item included in the packet, which is a proposed ordinance sponsored by Justices Davis and Ward that would impose a temporary moratorium on data centers in the unincorporated areas of the county."* This establishes the moratorium (26-I-37) entered the meeting as a **late filing** requiring a suspension of the rules, and names the **base sponsors as Justices [[Rebekah L. Davis|Davis]] and [[Tina Ward|Ward]]** (the consolidated 26-I-37A later adds [[Julie Blackwood|Blackwood]]). - **Agenda — 5th Regular Meeting, May 26, 2026, 6:00 p.m., Room 410.** Invocation by Justice [[Luke McCoy|McCoy]], pledge by Justice [[Kathy Lewison|Lewison]]. The printed agenda lists resolutions 26-I-35 (Maumelle/ARDOT I-40/Hwy 365) and 26-I-36 (Hwy 386 ARDOT), and ordinances **26-I-27A** (*"AN ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH QUARTERLY MEETINGS OF THE PULASKI COUNTY PLANNING BOARD ... IN REGARD TO LAND USE POLICIES,"* sponsors Person/Capps/Young-Baker), 26-I-28 (budget), and 26-I-29 (personnel). **26-I-37 is not on the printed agenda** — consistent with its late-item status. - **Base text of 26-I-37** (captioned "26-I-37," "By: Justices Davis, Ward," QCS 5/14/2026): Articles 1-7 only — **no Article 8 grandfather clause** in the packet version, confirming the grandfather was added by floor amendment (see [[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]]). - **Minutes of the April 28, 2026 (4th Regular) meeting**, including the line: *"Mr. Wendell Griffen said he would be sending items regarding high-intensity digital infrastructure facilities to the Quorum Court members asking them to consider adding it to next month's agenda."* This is a Tier-1 anchor for [[Wendell Griffen]]'s role in surfacing data-center measures the month before the moratorium vote. - A "Vacant Positions as of 05.15.26" county payroll report (routine budget attachment, not data-center related). ## Significance - Anchors the **late-filing procedure and base sponsorship** (Davis/Ward) of the moratorium to Tier-1. - Confirms **26-I-27A** (quarterly Planning Board land-use meetings) as a companion data-center-governance measure considered the same night — context for the Quorum Court's pivot toward zoning regulation. - Anchors [[Wendell Griffen]]'s April-meeting notice that he would push "high-intensity digital infrastructure" items — the documentary origin of the May data-center agenda. ## Cross-references - [[Data Center Moratorium Ordinance 26-I-37A and the Grandfather Amendment]] — the packet base text vs. the amended version. - [[Justin Blagg]] — author of the transmittal and late-item memos. - [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Refers Five Data-Center Measures to Planning Board]] — the regulation-track measures. - [[2026-05 Pulaski County Quorum Court Vote on Data Center Moratorium]] — the meeting this packet served.
