Statutory reference::
Although the Economic Development Commission governing statute empowers economic development commissions to set their own policy on notice of meetings (I.C. 36-7-12-13(a)), there is a potential conflict here with other statutory requirements, viz., the. Indiana Open Door Law (I.C. 5-14-1.5).
A municipal economic development commission would qualify as the “governing body of a public agency” under the Open Door Law, and, in general, would be subject to that law’s requirements, presumably including those requirements with regard to notice of meetings. In the absence of any definitive case law in this area as to the precedence of the potentially conflicting statutes, local commissions would be well advised to consult legal counsel before implementing any less stringent notice procedure than that set forth under I.C. 5-14-1.5-5
