    Public Forums

    The Muncie-Delaware County Government Reorganization Committee will hold four public forums in early June (detailed below). Committee members want to hear citizen comments, concerns and suggestions about the possible reorganization and modernization of city and county government in Muncie and Delaware County. Each forum will begin with a brief introduction to the committee and to its responsibilities under Indiana’s Government Modernization Act, but most of the time at each forum will be devoted to hearing citizen comments.

    Forums have been scheduled at a variety of locations and times to encourage public participation; any interested citizen may attend and participate in any of the forums.

    Committee members are: Eric Damian Kelly, Chair; Gary Addison, Vice Chair; Lee Ann Mengelt, Secretary; Denise Moore; Joe Rusell; Billie Sheppard; George Sheridan, Sr.; Alan Wilson.

    For more information, contact Eric Kelly, 289-5380 or ekelly@bsu.edu.
