Area Plan Commission tables a battery-storage zoning ordinance to add flood-zone rules first
How we attribute this: speaker_39 -> Jared, the commission's executive director, graded `probable` (no surname given) in this meeting's speaker roster. He delivers the Executive Director's report throughout the meeting and is named twice by others immediately after speaking in that capacity ("Jared takes all the credit for it" [t=201]; "As Jared mentions, you do have copies of the committee reports..." [t=288]). No vote, accusation, or characterization of a third party is attributed to his name here, consistent with the probable-grade limit.
