Summary

Council agreed to have Emily Burner serve as acting clerk and indicated they will draft an ordinance to establish pay at $50 per meeting; council voted to accept the proposal pending formal ordinance.

City of New Carlisle council members agreed to bring back former clerk Emily Burner as the acting clerk of council and asked the city manager to draft an ordinance to formalize compensation.

During communications the mayor noted an application from Emily Burner to serve as acting clerk. City Manager Jake Kitko said he had contacted Burner and recommended she serve as backup to current clerk Chris, with Burner to hand off duties to Chris for minutes and related tasks. Kitko said pay for clerks must be established by ordinance and that he would bring an ordinance to the next meeting.

Kitko told council the suggested pay would be $50 per meeting for the acting clerk role. Council moved and held a roll-call vote accepting the arrangement; council members indicated support and manager confirmed an ordinance will be drafted to codify compensation.

No formal ordinance was adopted at the meeting; the matter will return for introduction and vote once the ordinance language is drafted.
