Explanation of Local Expenditures: The city of Indianapolis could potentially incur additional costs if it
holds more than one public hearing to discuss a proposed public safety plan for entertainment zones. The cost
of security may be determined by the size of the designated area and the level of security personnel deemed
necessary to adequately cover it. The bill’s requirements are within the city’s routine functions and should
be able to be implemented with marginally more appropriations, assuming near customary police staffing
and resource levels.
