Ind. Code § 36-7-3-4 – Survey and plat; order; adoption; resolutions; requisites

(a) A municipality that does not have a sufficient survey and plat of its corporate territory may, by a resolution of its legislative body passed by a two-thirds (2/3) vote, order a survey and plat of the municipality. When the survey and plat have been made, the legislative body may adopt them by a resolution passed by three-fourths (3/4) vote (as described in IC 36-1-8-14 ). If a survey and plat of the municipality have already been made, without the order of the legislative body, it may adopt them by a resolution passed by a three-fourths (3/4) vote.
(b) The survey and plat are considered adopted by the municipality for all purposes if a certified copy of the resolution adopting the survey and plat is:
1. (1) signed by the municipal executive and clerk;
2. (2) attested by the seal of the municipality; and
3. (3) recorded with the survey and plat in the office of the recorder of the county in which the municipality is located.
  The copy of the resolution must include a statement of the names of the persons voting for and against it.
