Summary
Council agreed to invite the county sheriff to the Feb. 3 meeting for a short presentation and set a separate deputies meet-and-greet for April 26 as part of outreach for a police levy on the ballot.
City of New Carlisle council voted to invite the county sheriff to the Feb. 3 council meeting for a brief appearance and continued planning for a deputies meet-and-greet on April 26 as part of outreach tied to a police levy.
The city manager said he spoke with the sheriff, who indicated availability for a short window on Feb. 3; council agreed to a 6:05–6:30 p.m. slot and moved to invite him. On a recorded vote the motion to have the sheriff attend the Feb. 3 council meeting passed; Mayor Cook recorded a “no” vote on the motion.

The manager said topics for the sheriff’s Feb. 3 appearance would include proposed staffing and enforcement priorities; council also discussed a request for 10-day deputy assignments to ensure continuity and training for deputies assigned to New Carlisle shifts.
