WHEREAS, the platform upon which all current Carmel City Council
members were elected called for working to improve the involvement
of citizens in local government; and
WHEREAS, the upcoming election of Carmel-Clay School Board members
involves no City Council members, but will elect those entrusted
with a most important role in our community; and
WHEREAS, other forums for Carmel-Clay School Board candidates are
not thought to involve a debate format; and
WHEREAS, that debate format offers perhaps the most effective way
of assuring a healthy exchange of ideas allowing our citizens to
become more fully informed on the issues facing those elected; and
WHEREAS, the best facility for video and audio recording of such a
debate may well be Carmel City Council Chambers.
THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED:

candidates for Carmel-Clay School Board,
2) an offer shall be put forth of the Township Board to be
co-sponsors of this debate, should they so desire,

Monday, April 11, 1994 at 7:00 P.M.,
4)
the Carmel City Council shall appoint the Carmel Cable TV
Advisory Board Committee to supervise and structure this
debate,
5) as gallery seating is limited in Council Chambers:
a) each of the 11 candidates for Carmel-Clay School
Board shall be given 8 tickets,
b) participating Carmel City Council and Township
Board members, candidates, the moderators and
ticketed guests shall be the only persons admitted
