Proposal to expand Parks & Recreation commission fails; council names liaison
Summary
The council allowed Ordinance 2025-46e — to increase Parks & Recreation Commission membership — to die for lack of a second, then appointed a council liaison to the Parks & Recreation Board after a volunteer stepped forward.
The City of New Carlisle City Council declined to advance Ordinance 2025-46e, which would have amended section 276.04 of the city codified ordinances to increase membership on the Parks & Recreation Commission. The ordinance was introduced and moved, but no second was recorded and the motion died.
Separately, the council addressed Parks & Recreation oversight by appointing a council liaison to the Parks & Recreation Board. During discussion, Councilwoman Wright volunteered to serve as liaison and a motion to appoint the liaison was made, seconded, and approved by the council. The motion was recorded and council members present voted in favor.
Council did not adopt the membership-change ordinance, so any change to the commission’s composition would require a future motion and, if reintroduced, a second and subsequent council action. The liaison appointment will provide a direct council contact for the Parks & Recreation Board going forward, but the transcript did not specify any additional duties or reporting requirements for the liaison role.
There was no public comment recorded on either item in the supplied transcript.
