Voices was created to strengthen trust between the families and systems and to ensure young people are met with support, accountability, and respect at critical moments in their lives.

And whereas operating across the state of Indiana, Voices addresses the conditions that shape outcomes for youth, young adults, and families, including long standing underinvestment in neighborhoods, housing security, and unmet mental health needs.

The metropolitan development committee.

I think what I have to say is along the same lines. I am coming to you today as a citizen of Decatur Township that sees a problem and is trying to stand up and fix it. I have no background in politics, and I certainly don't have any expertise in land use. That is why I count on my vote to protect me. Decatur Township has been abandoned.

When we try to call on our elected officials, it falls on deaf ears. What has our democracy come to that there is no one to protect the people anymore? The problem is we have no definition of a data center at all in our city and or our state. Now, right now, in Decatur Township, over 100 tier two diesel generators could be installed next door to residential homes.

On order, mister

Just a few 100.

Ma'am, if you could speak to the proposal regarding housing funding.

I I believe that this is related to housing funding.

This is data center. You're speaking to data center. If you don't mind, please speak to the housing proposal.

Sure. It's right next door to houses. Please finish. Is that Please finish. Thank you.

Do you have a camera?

Sorry. I forget where I left off. Right now, at Decatur Township, over 100 tier two diesel generators could be installed right next door to residential homes, just a few 100 feet away from people's back doors. One for one, each of these engines pollutes more than a tractor trailer, and there will be over a 100 of them. Every year for four hours, these generators are going to run, and every time the lights go out, A 100 of them right outside your back door.

And this is in an I two. The Indianapolis Office Of Sustainability's net zero emissions by 2050 goal will be impossible to achieve, and they should be able to tell you that. This is one example of many that shows these companies do not care about us. They are not going to do they're going to do whatever they want at the cheapest price, but the consequences for our citizens, our city, and our state will be irreversible. Take a look at the land zoning on the ground right now. Everyone, even the houses, I two and CS zones could become data centers. And they could use Ma'am,

if you

could speak to neighbors they want.

Housing proposal. Proposal number eight, please. And thank you.

Okay. Sorry. Trying to do that.

That's your time.

Will you help us? Will you put a moratorium in place until a definition of data centers and ordinance around them can be crafted? Thank you. Please. Thank you. Thank you for your time.

Thank you, madam president. I just want to say a quick thank you to chairwoman Jones and all my colleagues who serve on the public works committee. First off, that took forever just to read all the speed limit reductions in my district, and I know that's not the first time you've had to do Thanks for allowing these to go through. Unlike many peers, I don't have subdivisions in my district, and so there's a lot of cross Streets, 16th, 10th, 21st, and we get a lot of cross traffic going extremely quickly down residential streets.

You know, we got support from Councilor Nielsen on this. This does go through both of our districts. It's just a habitual problem that is in relation to warehousing. So, a lot of a lot of trucks parking on Brookville Road and getting a lot of calls from the neighbors. Ultimately, try to solve this operationally through the city and it it just hasn't been working.
