Carlisle council approves four ordinances to place gas and electric aggregation questions on county ballots
Summary
Council adopted Ordinances 11-24 through 14-24 directing Warren and Montgomery county boards to submit opt-out natural gas and electric aggregation ballot questions under Sections 4929.26 and 4928.20 of the Ohio Revised Code; roll calls were unanimous.
Carlisle City Council on June 25 adopted four ordinances directing county boards of elections to place opt-out aggregation questions on local ballots.
Ordinance 11-24 directs the Warren County Board of Elections to submit a governmental natural gas aggregation program question (opt-out) pursuant to Section 4929.26, Ohio Revised Code. Ordinance 12-24 does the same for Montgomery County. Ordinances 13-24 and 14-24 authorize similar action for electric aggregation under Section 4928.20, Ohio Revised Code (Warren and Montgomery counties, respectively).
Council discussed these items briefly as second and third readings and moved to adopt each ordinance. Motions and seconders were recorded for each item and roll-call votes were unanimous in favor (Council members William Bicknell, Debbie Kemper, Tim Humphries, Chris Stivers and Mayor Randy Winkler recorded aye votes on the record). The ordinances instruct the respective county boards to place the specified ballot questions before electors; transcript discussion does not include details of proposed supplier, expected rates, or the ballot language beyond the statutory authorization.
Separately, Mayor Winkler noted Ordinance 16-24 (declaring a Fire Department engine surplus and authorizing sale) will appear for a third reading at the July 9 meeting.
No amendments to the aggregation ordinances were recorded during the June 25 meeting, and council did not provide additional implementation details in the public discussion.
