The company is seeking a court order that would block the enforcement of the moratorium and allow the project to move forward while the case is pending.
The meeting comes after the federal government declined to comment on the project.
The meeting comes less than a week after the council voted June 17 to retain Bowling Green-based ELPO Law to represent the city in the case.
Following a brief closed session Wednesday, the council voted to retain English, Lucas, Priest & Owsley as outside counsel for the case. Richardson attended the closed session.
The comments come as Cave City faces legal action from a property owner who has confirmed interest in selling land to a data center developer.
No environmental review or impact analysis has been disclosed for the project.
The Planning Commission is an appointed body that coordinates community-planning efforts and makes recommendations to local legislative units, according to its website.
The utilities said they have developed a Data Center Power tariff, or rate schedule, specifically for large data centers seeking service from electric cooperatives.
Richardson could not be reached for comment on whether he would recuse himself from the current lawsuit.
