Public hearing on amendment to certified statement of values ends with no comment

A brief public hearing held Friday in the Vigo County government center drew no public comment on a proposed amendment to the certified statement of values, and the meeting was adjourned. Larry Hutchings, staff member, introduced the item and said Kevin Gardner, Vigo County assessor, was present to answer questions. No members of the public spoke. The presiding staff then closed the hearing and adjourned the session.

The hearing concerned a proposed amendment to the certified statement of values; no additional details about the content of the amendment, its fiscal impact, or next steps were stated on the record. Hutchings asked for public comment and noted Gardner was available to answer questions; when none was offered, the hearing was concluded. The meeting record shows the session then moved to adjournment and a break.

Because no public comments were made and no motions or votes related to the amendment were recorded during the hearing, there was no formal action documented on the amendment at that time. The record does not specify subsequent steps, deadlines, or whether the amendment will return at a later meeting.
