A Fishers study committee consisting of nearly fifty members will determine the pros and cons of the town of Fishers becoming a city.

An announcement was made Tuesday by Town Council members that 44 people have been chosen to research the options and inform the town.  The committee may make a recommendation if the data is conclusive enough.

The town of Fishers continues to look for a moderator to assist the committee.  Town leaders hope to find a moderator by the end of the week so the committee can set its first meeting date.  The committee will then determine how often it meets and the plan of action.

Eight committee members were selected by the Fishers Chamber of Commerce and four were appointed from the CityYes political action committee which supports the change.  The remaining members were chosen from a pool of about 80 applicants.

CityYes has been collecting signatures in attempt to get a referendum on the ballot that would give voters the ability to choose their form of government and officials say a special election could be held sometime this year.
