Text

(a) After consulting with the executive of the
consolidated city and the director of the department of metropolitan
development, the commission may appoint or remove an administrator.
The administrator shall, in accordance with the personnel policies and
practices of the city, hire and discharge additional staff, following the
standards and qualifications established by the commission. No
consideration may be given to political affiliation in the selection and
tenure of the staff. The commission shall determine the compensation
of the administrator and other staff consistent with ordinances of the
legislative body adopted under IC 36-3-6-3.
(b) Before December 1 each year, the commission shall adopt a
work program defining the activities that are proposed to be carried out
by staff during the next calendar year. At least forty-five (45) days
before the commission desires to adopt a work program, it shall submit
a copy of the proposed work program to the executive of the
consolidated city and to the director of the department of metropolitan
development. The executive and director shall, within thirty (30) days
after submission, review and provide comments to the commission
regarding the proposed work program. After comments have been
received from the executive and the director and considered by the
commission or after thirty (30) days have elapsed from the date of
submission (whichever occurs first), the commission shall adopt a work
program. Activities carried out during the calendar year must conform
to or not substantially depart from the work program. The work
program may be modified during the applicable calendar year in the
same manner as the adoption of the original work program, except that
the executive and the director have only ten (10) days in which to
review and comment on the proposed work program modification, and
the commission may then immediately adopt a work program
modification.
(c) The administrator shall provide information that will allow the
director of the department of metropolitan development to coordinate
the activities of the department of metropolitan development with the
activities of the commission and its staff. In order to achieve
consistency in administrative practices and policies between the
consolidated city and the staff of the commission, the administrator
shall seek the advice and guidance of the director regarding such
matters as budgeting and fiscal control, personnel administration, and
purchasing.
(d) The commission shall establish and maintain offices and
facilities as may be necessary for the performance of its duties, the
activities of its staff, and the preservation of its records, documents,
and accounts. The location of the offices must be approved by the
executive of the consolidated city.
(e) The commission shall prepare and submit annually to the fiscal
officer of the consolidated city its estimate of the expenditures required
for its operations and fiscal responsibilities for the ensuing fiscal year.
The budget of the commission and its staff constitutes a part of the
consolidated city budget and shall be determined in accordance with IC 36-3-6, and the county comprises the taxing district for the
commission.
