    (1 of 9) Thank you to SVP and other city staff for working to clarify and improve existing data center policies and procedures, particularly to increase community benefits and to help meet the city’s climate goals. I urge you to hold multiple meetings in the coming weeks and months to solicit more input from city residents and other key stakeholders on various aspects of the proposed policies and process. This is one of 9 comments I am submitting on this topic in response to the staff report.
