Carlisle council adopts emergency supplemental appropriation, approves then-and-now certificate and county tax rates
Summary
At its Sept. 23 meeting, Carlisle City Council approved Ordinance 14-25 (an emergency supplemental appropriation), a then-and-now certificate for city vendors (Resolution 20-25), and certified fiscal year 2025 tax rates for Montgomery and Warren counties (Resolutions 21-25 and 22-25). All votes recorded as unanimous.
Carlisle City Council on Sept. 23 approved an emergency supplemental appropriation, a then-and-now certificate for city vendors, and certified county tax rates for Montgomery and Warren counties.
Mayor Randy Winkler asked council to suspend the three-reading rule and treat Ordinance 14-25 (Supplement #3) as an emergency. William Bicknell moved to suspend the rule, Debbie Kemper seconded, and the motion carried. Jason Faulkner then moved to approve Ordinance 14-25 (reappropriation/supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2025); William Bicknell seconded. Roll call votes were recorded as: Faulkner yes; Bicknell yes; Humphries yes; Kemper yes; Kilpatrick yes; Stivers yes; Mayor Winkler yes. The ordinance was approved as presented.
Council also suspended the reading requirements for Resolution 20-25, a then-and-now certificate approving payments to city vendors, and approved it on a motion by Michael Kilpatrick, seconded by Debbie Kemper. The roll call recorded unanimous approval.
Separately, Council accepted the budget commission-determined amounts and rates for fiscal year 2025 for both Montgomery County (Resolution 21-25) and Warren County (Resolution 22-25), each read as an emergency and approved by unanimous roll call. The resolutions authorize necessary tax levies and certification of the rates to the respective county auditors.
The agenda also included a first reading of Ordinance 13-25, which would declare certain city-owned items surplus and authorize sale of a police cruiser; that item received its initial reading but was not adopted at the meeting.
The meeting record notes an audio equipment malfunction that prevented a full recording of the session; the Clerk of Council’s minutes capture the motions, roll-call votes and times. The council did not provide additional fiscal detail in the minutes for the supplemental appropriation beyond the ordinance title and emergency declaration.
What happens next: Ordinances and resolutions approved as emergencies take effect per council action; further budgetary detail may appear in fiscal records or future council reports.
