The City of Edgerton respects the Johnson County District Court’s decision regarding the citizen initiative petition and the proposed ordinance about data centers.
As we have said from the beginning, the City requested the Court’s review to resolve questions about whether the proposed ordinance could legally proceed through the citizen-initiative process under Kansas law. On Tuesday, November 3rd, a Johnson County District Court Judge ruled the ordinance as legislative.
Based on the Judge’s ruling, the City Council must either pass the ordinance as proposed or place it on the ballot for voters to decide. The Edgerton City Council will consider this petition ordinance during their next meeting on November 12 at 7:00 PM in City Hall.
