29:00Please come forward.
29:02Proposal number eight.
29:08Regarding proposal number eight.
29:09You can put the DMD.
29:13No Metropolitan Development Development Committee.
29:17I think what I have to say is along the same lines.
29:37I have no background in politics, and I certainly don't have any expertise in land use.
29:42That is why I count on my vote to protect me.
29:45Decatur Township has been abandoned.
29:48When we try to call on our elected officials, it falls on deaf ears.
29:52What has our democracy come to that there is no one to protect the people anymore?
30:00The problem is we have no definition of a data center at all in our city and or our state.
30:04Now, right now, indicator township.
30:07Over 100 tier two diesel generators could be installed next door to residential homes.
30:16Ma'am, if you could speak to the proposal regarding housing funding.
30:20I believe that this is related to housing.
30:22This is data center.
30:23You're speaking to data center if you don't mind.
30:25Please speak to the housing proposal.
30:27Sure, it's right next door to houses.
30:32Is that please finish?
30:35Uh sorry, I forget where I left off.
30:37Right now, indicator township, over 100 tier two diesel generators could be installed right next door to residential homes, just a few hundred feet away from people's back doors.
30:47One for one, each of these engines pollutes more than a tractor trailer.
30:52And there will be over a hundred of them.
30:55Every year, for four hours, these generators are going to run, and every time the lights go out.
31:00A hundred of them, right outside your back door.
31:03And this isn't an I2.
31:05The Indianapolis Office of Sustainability's net zero emissions by 2050 goal will be impossible to achieve.
31:12And they should be able to tell you that.
31:15This is one example of many that shows these companies do not care about us.
31:19They are not going to do, they're going to do whatever they want at the cheapest price, but the consequences for our citizens, our city, and our state will be irreversible.
31:28Take a look at the land zoning on the ground right now.
31:32Everyone, even the houses, I2 and CS zones could become data centers.
31:39And they could use whatever resources they want.
31:46That's your will you help us.
31:48Will you put a moratorium in place until a definition of data centers and ordinance around them can be crafted?
31:56Thank you for your time.
31:58Is there anyone else in the audience that wishes to speak to proposal number eight?

39:55Comments from counselors.
40:02I just want to say a quick thank you to Chairwoman Jones and all my colleagues who stay up on the public works committee.
40:07First off, that took forever just to read all the speed limit reductions in my district.
40:10I know that's not the first time you've had to do that.
40:12Um thanks for allowing these to go through.
40:14Umlike uh many parents, I don't have subdivisions in my um district, and so there's a lot of cross streets, 16th to 10th, uh 21st, and we get a lot of cross traffic going extremely quickly down residential streets.
40:27Um, I know we're doing a lot of work as a body on the Visions Air Task Force with a lot more substantive work than simply reducing speed limits, but I do think that this step will save lives, and so genuinely wanted to send my thanks to all of you.
40:42Thank you, Madam President.
40:43Uh, just wanted to thank Department of Public Works and Chairwoman Jones uh with her help on getting proposal 48 to where it is.
40:51Uh it's the weight limit restriction on Southwest Drive, which um is a neighborhood that's tucked between two busy uh thoroughfares, and there's an elementary school in there.
40:59A lot of kids walk to school, and we have a lot of semi-traffic that seems to go through there with complete disregard to kids who are going to school.
41:08So this is a um a welcome change.
41:11Appreciate everyone's support.

42:28This does go through both of our districts.
42:30Um it's just a habitual problem that is in relation to warehousing.
42:33So uh a lot of a lot of trucks parking on Brookville Road and getting a lot of calls from the neighbors ultimately try to solve this uh operationally through the city, and it it just hasn't been working.
