The Indianapolis City Metropolitan and Economic Development Committee on Monday approved two reappointments: Brian Burton to the Marion County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals and Brent Lyle to the Metropolitan Development Commission.

The moves were made during the committee’s meeting when the chair, Pashira, presented proposal 310 to reappoint Brian Burton and later proposal 312 to reappoint Brent Lyle. Both motions were moved and approved by voice vote or unanimous consent in committee; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript.

Brian Burton spoke in support of his reappointment, saying he has served on the board “for a number of years” and that he wants “to serve on the board, continue doing the work we’re doing there. I enjoy working with the assessor’s office and the staff there.” The transcript records Burton thanking the committee for the nomination before the committee moved and seconded the motion for his reappointment, and the chair announced, “The motion carries.”

Brent Lyle also addressed the committee, saying he has “just completed, well, soon to complete my first year on the commission” and called it “a really interesting learning experience.” The transcript shows a committee member, Ron Gibson (District 8), recommended sending proposal 312 forward; the record does not include a roll-call vote but indicates the committee advanced the nomination.

There was no recorded public comment on either item in the meeting excerpt. Committee members present introduced themselves at the start of the meeting; no committee member voiced opposition to either reappointment during the recorded discussion.
