From the transcript
Chair and members of the Planning Commission. My name is Andrew Mazzella representing Mazzella Alaska LLC as founder and CEO. I'm the owner of the waterfront industrial property located at 101 East Harbor Way. And I'm here today to enter a formal procedural objection regarding the public hearing for the proposed data center moratorium, public hearing item C. In fact, I am shocked that you didn't just remove that from the agenda per our letter Friday. This commission lacks the legal jurisdiction to hold a hearing, vote, or make recommendations on this item today because the borough has committed fatal notice violations under the Petersburg Municipal Code and Alaska law.
