Keeping everything straight on when a public hearing is required on any issue before a city council can be confusing.  The City of Fishers updated me Monday morning on the Council meeting scheduled tonight at 7pm.

The 2025 Fishers City Council will hold a public hearing at tonight’s first reading of the 2025 city budget totaling $182.5  million. The spending plan will have its first reading tonight before councilors, with the final vote set for next month.

Another major item on the agenda, the fee schedule for the trash collection contract with Republic, will have its public hearing next month, as well as the final vote.  The first reading on that matter is tonight.

Also, the Council always offers Community Comment at the end of each meeting, allowing anyone to speak for up to 3 minutes on the subject of their choice.
