("Plocher"), 60 .Both I ndiana statute and case law make it unequivocally clear that a private party seeking to contract with a governmental entity is under a duty to ensure that any such contract complies with Indiana statute, even if the contract is signed by one or more elected officials. If the contract is sought to be executed without compliance with statutory requirements, it is the private contracting entity that will bear the risk of loss, not the taxpayers.For the foregoing reasons, the Court: * GRANTS the Ter re Haute Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Counts I - VI of the Amended Complaint, 32 , and DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE all claims against the Terre Haute Defendants; * GRANTS THDC's Motion to Dismiss Counts 7 and 8 of Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint, 58 , and DISMISSES WITH PREJUDICE all claims against THDC; and * GRANTS Plocher's Motion to Dismiss, Alternatively to Stay, and to Compel Arbitration, 60 , and DISMISSSES WITH PREJUDICE all claims against Plocher.
