New Carlisle council approves $30,000 emergency appropriation for rising insurance costs
Summary
The City of New Carlisle City Council approved Ordinance 2025-45e, an emergency supplemental appropriation that adds $30,000 to the general fund to cover an upcoming PEP insurance increase and adjusts the street levy fund to balance estimated resources.
The City of New Carlisle City Council voted to approve Ordinance 2025-45e, an emergency supplemental appropriation that adds $30,000 to the general fund to cover an increase in PEP insurance for the coming year.
City staff explained the ordinance supplements appropriations set in Ordinance 2024-66. "This will add $30,000 to pay this next year's PEP insurance increase," an administrative staff member said during the council presentation. The staff explanation said the ordinance also reduces appropriations in the street levy fund to balance with estimated resources and required certificates.
Council members moved the ordinance and conducted a roll-call style vote. Council members present recorded affirmative votes and the ordinance was approved. The transcript shows council members voting in favor in sequence; no 'No' or 'Abstain' votes were recorded in the meeting record supplied.
The ordinance is intended to ensure the general fund can absorb the higher insurance expense rather than leaving that cost unbudgeted into the next fiscal year. The staff presentation did not specify whether the $30,000 will be a one-time supplement or part of a recurring budget adjustment.
Next procedural steps were not detailed in the public portion of the meeting. The council moved on to other agenda items after the vote.
