The Committee can affirm, modify or rescind such orders after hearing the evidence presented during the hearing. The Committee may continue such hearings to a later date to allow for further research and / or to negotiate any modifications to such orders.

Committee meetings/hearings are held as needed, with proper notification per I.C. 5-3-1. Typically, advertised hearings are held prior to the regularly scheduled Board of Works meetings, which are held at 6:30 PM on the first and third Mondays of each month.
