FISHERS — The Town Council will use the Fishers City/Town Study Committee’s report to get creative with government.

Town officials could investigate creating a hybrid form of government that would combine the aspects people like about both cities and towns, Town Council President Scott Faultless said.

Faultless couldn’t cite specific examples of hybrid governments the town might consider, but he hopes the town will have some alternatives to offer before this spring when voters will decide whether the town should become a city.

The Fishers City/Town Study Committee’s report, which details the pros and cons of the town becoming a city, will be available soon on the town’s Web site and could play a crucial role in the vote.

The group presented its report to the Town Council on Wednesday.

CityYes, a polital action committee that supports the switch, recently announced its plans to put the city question on the May 2010 primary ballot.

The town considered putting the issue on the ballot this fall but won’t do that, Faultless said.

If Fishers had put it on the ballot this fall, about 5,500 Geist residents who will be annexed into the town in January wouldn’t have been able to vote.
