Thank you, Madam Secretary.

We have 16 resolutions, one standing for public hearing.

I'm going to take the public hearing first.

Resolution number 2022 P016, which amends the rules of procedures of the Metropolitan Development Commission of Marion County, Indiana, and its committees.

This amendment makes corrections and adds text to the rules of procedure for the Metropolitan Development Commission, Platte Committee, and Hearing Officer.

Shannon, would you please give us some remarks on this long drawn-out process.

Thank you, President Dillon and members of the Commission.

Yes, we have been conducting a comprehensive review and amendment of the rules of procedure for a couple years now.

Thank you to the commission, to legal counsel, and to staff for reviewing the documents for again the MDC plaque committee and hearing officer.

Just an overview.

First of all, we wanted to adhere to the Indiana Code and State Law to also sync up our rules of procedure across the board, across our committees.

And we also wanted to clarify some of the rules, removing any ambiguity by adding language or correcting language here.

And remember that the amendments to the rules of procedure only go to the MDC for approval, but they have been shared, as I said, with the various committees and with council and have been available for review by the public.

The basic revisions include things like correcting typos.

They include going through and changing the format of the document.

But they also include some very important things.

So in regard with regard to the length of time, our current rules of procedure talk about business days and calendar days, but the state has actually come up with what we find to be a much better effective and fair system that only excludes things like holidays and weekends.

So we feel that that's a good change that actually syncs up with the state of Indiana and how they do the computation of time.

And we wanted to also talk about the new ways that people are actually filing applications, as we all know during the pandemic, electronic filing became a necessary way of doing business, and we wanted to open up the rules of procedure to allow that as well, uh, even after a time when we're back in person.

Uh there were some specific changes to the Plat Committee rules of procedure.

I'll want to go over those uh quickly.

Um we added a minimum filing time, which is standard across our rules of procedure, including for BZA, but plaque committee did not have that.

Um, and we also wanted to make correct citations of Indy Rezone, which is our consolidated zoning code and of the state code as well.

So those references have been corrected.

I want to also preface this by saying there were some additional changes that I will just highlight uh again.
