RE: Ordinance 7-1995
Dear Council Member:
ROGER CORNETT
Mayor
THOMAS S. MILLIGAN
City Attorney
This ordinance proposes the designation of 132.08 acres annexed to the City by Ordinance No. 72-1991
and 1,844.84 acres annexed to the City by Ordinance No. 34-1994, a total of 1,976.92 acres, as an economic
revitalization area (ERA) in order to permit tax abatement for industrial development.
The ordinance expands an existing ERA, designated as Area 2 by Common Councils' Resolution 10-1984,
commonly known as the northwest industrial park. This ordinance is proposed by the administration
pursuant to the economic development plan of the City to designate all areas that are zoned either M-1
Light Industrial District or M-2 General Industrial District as ERA's in order to stimulate private
investment to create manufacturing jobs.
Indiana law requires Council to conduct an advertised public hearing after the adoption of this
ordinance which can be scheduled for your February 21th meeting if this ordinance is adopted February
6th by using two motions for suspension of the rules.
Unlike other ordinances which become local law after passage on third reading and approval by the
Mayor, ERA designations require Council to either confirm, modify or rescind such ordinances after an
advertised public hearing in a subsequent meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas S. Milligan
City Attorney
