Summary
The Memphis City Council agenda headed October 6, 2026 lists Ordinance No. 5985, sponsored by Councilman Spinosa, for third and final reading. Its agenda title describes a strategic large-load and digital infrastructure district program and says it would replace a blanket data-center moratorium with tiered, timed review. The agenda asks the council to take whatever action it deems advisable. This file was captured on October 5, 2026, before that meeting. An agenda listing is not passage, and the ordinance text was not opened.
What this does not establish
- Only the agenda title, sponsor, and reading stage were read. The ordinance text was not opened.
- The agenda does not name the moratorium it would replace.
- The October 6, 2026 meeting had not occurred at the time of this capture, so no vote is recorded here.
Unresolved questions
- Whether the council passes, amends, defers, or rejects Ordinance No. 5985 on October 6, 2026 or later.
- The operative text, including any district boundary, water standard, or end date.
Relationships
Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
- No related action is recorded.
