The Central DORA Committee was established by the Common Council per Ordinance D-2718-24. The Committee is a volunteer body of up to nine members tasked with overseeing the operation of the Central DORA (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area). The committee's primary responsibilities include receiving public safety and sanitation reports, considering public input through meetings, compiling bi-annual reports for the Common Council summarizing incidents and recommendations, and reviewing signage and container designs. The committee composition includes representatives from the Mayor's office, Common Council, Carmel Parks and Recreation, the Street Department, Carmel Police Department, and the OneZone Chamber of Commerce, with all members required to be Carmel residents. The committee meets at least twice yearly and on an as-needed basis, with initial members serving two-year terms and no limit on reappointments.
