The City Manager said Railroad Days is scheduled for Aug. 15–16 and staff is forming a committee with volunteers and past organizers to run the event in future years. The manager said the Warren County Foundation account will allow the city to accept donations and sponsorships without creating additional municipal appropriation steps.

Staff said they are developing a train-themed sponsorship structure and will contact past donors once the account is active. The manager said the township has pledged $500 and noted that the city has a $10,000 special-events line item that has not been fully used in recent years; council discussion included whether to appropriate city funds or move community development funds to support festival programming.

Staff said they will begin accepting vendor registrations and food-truck applications once sponsorships and the account are in place; the school superintendent and other community leaders will serve on the planning committee.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Carlisle OH, City Council Meeting 05/13/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council and staff said they will partner with festival organizers and the Warren County Foundation to establish a fund for Railroad Days, set a committee to manage planning and sponsorships, and consider a city donation from an existing events line item.","taxTitle","City of Carlisle, Warren County, Ohio","taxId",72280,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6052867,"City reports modest pressure gains after Lower Carlisle water-main tie to Franklin; pool-filling meter process simplified",552,1625000,2177000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3&start=1625&end=2177","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3/thumbnail_1625000.jpg","/articles/6052867/Ohio/City-reports-modest-pressure-gains-after-Lower-Carlisle-water-main-tie-to-Franklin-pool-filling-meter-process-simplified","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6052867-354854f2e409bc5805cb88b5a08835e1/orig.mp4?Expires=1773207472&Signature=Om9K2jUjSwbQ~BkhDpbdROViSk-0oQNnbsgrN~c9wbwcWmqzM9aPhANuOqEXm-SNy7cDcQO~utouBNjZmzH1g6nU6ds-WlzqJxDyLBoqUfB7EnF7q60b9mpdT6rf7ioatjR-IomQnJNwqW8GDsvuSUKl9kzLpTygFvoH8lXOGibIifWQhOn57zv1SlxgpeH5LNThjHr61QNZkRJjNj1AfwPPDm-Z~opDtkKDkRqtXaV1hnSM4FkEd~G~ieF5GLSSq4I9lWW~VI3clFaIUWaMBNMSXA50CO~8WaAOvetoS3vVQyy8ZyxP2GTZE1gfrnSS-jKOCP1dVmnAVA2KGMsvkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City of Carlisle staff reported on May 13 that a recent connection of the Lower Carlisle water main to the City of Franklin high-pressure system produced “very positive improvement” in residential water pressure and hydrant flows in tested areas.

Staff said flow testing by the fire and service departments showed increases of about 4 to 6 pounds per square inch in neighborhoods such as Indian Trace — roughly a 10–15% improvement in pressure — which provides a greater buffer for household flow and fire protection. Staff also said a long-term solution will require construction of a water tower.

The city manager said staff will collect additional “eco rich” (metering/flow) data for neighborhoods that asked the city to check pressure and would follow up with specific numbers.

Separately, the manager said the city has changed its pool-filling procedure: instead of loaning temporary meters, residents can schedule a meter reading before and after filling. Staff noted that many town meters are remote-read “smart meters,” making the new procedure easier for residents and staff.

No formal votes were required for the updates; staff said further work on a water tower and additional pressure testing will continue.","City staff reported a 4–6 psi improvement in some neighborhoods after connecting to the City of Franklin high-pressure system and said hydrant flows improved; staff also announced a new, meter-reading-based process for pool filling rather than loaning meters.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6052872,"Carlisle council declares necessity for street-lighting assessment as first step in assessment process",68,2516000,2584000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3&start=2516&end=2584","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3/thumbnail_2516000.jpg","/articles/6052872/Ohio/Carlisle-council-declares-necessity-for-street-lighting-assessment-as-first-step-in-assessment-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6052872-3ae662f8fe60b48dfdc57298b8ccec75/orig.mp4?Expires=1773207472&Signature=oHRx5FSwsuMRJinz381eeP~bWX4J0drs0NWI1y996zBS3PPTvJvpD6s3x9R9oarKR3A1q3ov3V9hVuE0gBAJ6EAys4w3P9no0KtN7v4peq8Mi1lPgCDRORygU8oufk-SFfYBQdntzZ6oDYLPlAentY81kjxXo4MlQNWGQy-zEevQiRhVqzgx7-Xjv1fXpnAJmKhk8IheK7aIrS4OXvTXQDMEr6TlIpPik18tuLMWDPhwqMsoQgo3ebOBZxslm8TdbzOUJOyBQwBTm74qPvFDLefsCBHvQUNkZxDLasM7-HdNWyeSIF51lM2DpwmBiPjTgsVehYW1qUD5snlbNhlN5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On May 13 the City of Carlisle council approved Resolution 15-25, a resolution of necessity beginning the statutory process to assess property owners for the cost of street lighting for 2024.

Staff described the vote as the first of three steps required by statute to meet the county deadline for submission in September. The council moved to suspend the three-reading rule and approved the resolution as a single reading.

During discussion council members asked about the city's annual electric costs. Staff said the municipality's electric bill is “somewhere in the sixties” and indicated a figure near $64,000 to $66,000 per year; staff also noted that Ohio law allows the city to assess up to 98% of the cost and that the city itself must pay a portion (one-fiftieth as described in discussion).

The resolution passed on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes. Councilmembers said further steps will follow to complete the assessment and submit required paperwork to the county.","Council approved Resolution 15-25, the statutory 'resolution of necessity' starting the multi-step process to assess property for street lighting costs; council members discussed the city's annual electric bill and how the Ohio Revised Code limits assessments.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6052877,"Carlisle council adopts emergency ordinance removing references to obsolete property maintenance board",100,2371000,2471000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3&start=2371&end=2471","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3/thumbnail_2371000.jpg","/articles/6052877/Ohio/Carlisle-council-adopts-emergency-ordinance-removing-references-to-obsolete-property-maintenance-board","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6052877-0f400630ce95662eabae46015a37b994/orig.mp4?Expires=1773207472&Signature=XSx5WVLqC-PvGbNeCxf4XUi5RrYfhnwK0MRmZ29R4CNqEbIgKf3-1YY09iwhhaM9mIFjtuWDjv81bInVmK-MHaxhFwj0gAXBuN2U88yqF4NF82obQZpaIcYjt2owxiPFMyabRsoieyoQiip6k77RKf8VVbPJMmt2ikIrL8N~GBcygt5ZlhVV6Z~xu9b0OZRGggEpZj5rmKg318cxBTkRju1ZRIFDeQvbOrTBN5DhR1EuNxJBSPkC~TkuzI~eLtsDn9479SQAobTVljpXBL5dN~Vx9-X3fc1BTbrfLYSv8cgWCV68nke1aWGsMcOzCRT~aPC~N6hVJ46z9MqXOj0C1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Carlisle council approved Ordinance 9-25 on May 13, amending Section 14.66 of the Carlisle Codified Ordinances to remove references to a now-defunct Property Maintenance Review Board and to clarify that appeals of property maintenance code violations go to the Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA).

City staff told council that the Property Maintenance Review Board was abolished in 2021 and that references to it remained in the code, creating inconsistency with current practice. The ordinance text replaces those references so the appeals process explicitly points to the BZA.

Council moved to suspend the three-reading rule, have a single reading by title and declare the ordinance an emergency so the changes would take effect immediately. The motion carried on a roll-call vote with all members present voting yes. The adoption motion and second were recorded as moved by Councilmember Bicknell and seconded by Councilmember Kilpatrick; the roll call recorded unanimous approval.

The law director and staff said the BZA has been processing appeals despite the outdated language and that the amendment is primarily to align the codified text with current administrative practice.","Council voted unanimously to amend the Carlisle codified ordinances to remove references to the defunct Property Maintenance Review Board and clarify that appeals go to the Board of Zoning Appeals; the council approved the change as an emergency to take effect immediately.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6052885,"Resident tells Carlisle council she was repeatedly contacted after asking councilor not to contact her",348,585000,933000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3&start=585&end=933","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3377659-ee39df7785031b18faea9f8b9a1098c3/thumbnail_585000.jpg","/articles/6052885/Ohio/Resident-tells-Carlisle-council-she-was-repeatedly-contacted-after-asking-councilor-not-to-contact-her","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6052885-75fc13d8540973336bb7d2f079590da9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773207472&Signature=Da97CPKTQ3fnnsP05q~aNztlfrAspyLtD-suchYdD-mAz0m0YB~AsIM2EmywTV1LaaS5rIG7aNtOtNWxpzgG2MrVMzsj6J0f97~xC8Vwezt2kKnfByeXa85RACjfZSVjqIzAN~L97JWSWR98GzrsVGKlrjzZyO26VB1RoOkO0FTPE7jlu1idl04AUbqopFIOn9jTRraeA63IgABeMIoHjah2TLLRigfp-G25sE41-Rqd5Pcl2eiIrSIT0EN800XUFWCUnDcWG3jEzCcWhSPDKXCrpA6VU-ALupRNmI9mSX-KHz2Ub7uehZVDKIQDMc2si~CvJZ5DYpFa-ngrz3~TpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the City of Carlisle council meeting on May 13, resident and Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation Board member Carrie Haggs told the council she has received repeated communications from people acting at the request of a council member after she asked that councilor not to contact her.

Haggs told the council, “I don't wanna be here right now and I wanna try to get through this without crying,” and described multiple contacts she said followed a private request to stop communication. She said one contact came “less than 4 days later” and that she had been chastised by the president of an unrelated association over the matter.

Haggs said she had raised the issue privately with a council member before the prior meeting and felt the response was inadequate. She told councilors she declined a proposed private meeting and that the ongoing contacts had made her fearful: “Now I'm so freaked out every time my ring doorbell camera goes off.”

Mayor Winkler thanked Haggs for speaking and for her service on city boards; no council action was taken on the complaint during the meeting. Haggs said she had told council members in private about the issue and that, if contacts continued, she would “make my complaints known in a very public forum and if I have to do that in a legal manner, I will do that also.”

The council did not place the matter on the agenda for discussion or take formal action at the meeting. Mayor Winkler closed the public forum after Haggs’s remarks and moved on to council reports.","At the City of Carlisle public forum, resident and Planning Commission member Carrie Haggs said she told a council member to stop contacting her about a personal matter but continued to receive outreach; she said the contacts have affected her service on another local board and warned she may pursue legal options if it continues.","actionData","errors"]
