The first meeting of a city council in a new calendar year requires a number of actions relating to the coming year.  The Fishers City Council will have its first meeting of 2020 Tuesday night.  The normal meeting day is Monday, but the Martin Luther King holiday required the meeting to be held the following day.

The swearing-in ceremony will be held at City Hall at 5pm Tuesday.

As the council convenes, the first action item is to vote on the council president and vice president for the coming year.  Based on conversations I have had with several council members, Cecilia Coble will likely be named as council president and Selina Stoller vice president.  But, it is not official until the council votes.

Another major item on the agenda will be the council appointments to boards and commissions.  If approved as proposed on the council agenda, David George will be added on the council’s Finance Committee, replacing Eric Moeller.  Todd Zimmerman will join follow councilmen Brad DeReamer and Pete Peterson on the Fishers Plan Commission, replacing Rich Block.

In other council appointments, Gary Bolenbaugh would be serving a 4-year term on the Police Merit Commission.  Brad Johnson and Dan Canan would continue their service on the Redevelopment Commission as council appointees for another year.

Again, these appointments are not official until the council approves.
