MARK W. MYERS, Mayor of the City of Greenwood, Indiana Remonstrance and appeal may be filed in the time and manner provided by law. Notice is hereby given that the City of Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission has filed a petition before the City of Greenwood Advisory Plan Commission, which petition proposes text amendments to Ordinance No. 09-28 "An Ordinance to Establish an Equitable Impact Fee for the Purpose of Planning and Financing Park and Recreational Infrastructure to Serve New Development in the City of Greenwood". Effective January 1, 2012, the City of Greenwood changed from a Third Class City to a Second Class City under Indiana law. Changes within city government included dividing the functions of the elected Clerk-Treasurer into two new positions – an elected City Clerk and an appointed City Controller. These titles are included in multiple locations throughout the text of the Impact Fee ordinance. Therefore, it is necessary for the ordinance to be amended to reflect the title changes in compliance with state laws for a Second Class city in the State of Indiana. That is the sole purpose of these proposed amendments. A copy of the proposed ordinance of amendments is on file with this petition. This petition will come on for public hearing at 7:00 p.m. in the 2nd floor Common Council Chambers at the Greenwood City Building, 2 N. Madison Avenue, Greenwood, Indiana, on March 12, 2011.
