Council adopts year‑end supplemental appropriation, approves emergency vendor payment and appoints JEMS representative
Summary
Carlisle City Council on Dec. 9 approved a year‑end supplemental appropriation as an emergency measure, voted to authorize a time‑sensitive $10,000 payment to vendor Civica, and appointed Councilmember Debbie Kemper as the city's JEMS Board representative effective Jan. 1.
Carlisle City Council voted Dec. 9 to adopt Ordinance 20‑25, a fourth supplemental appropriation for fiscal year 2025, after suspending the rule requiring three readings and declaring an emergency. The motion to suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance passed on a roll call vote with six members in favor and one abstention noted earlier on unrelated business.
Council also approved Resolution 27‑25, a then‑and‑now certificate authorizing a time‑sensitive $10,000 payment to vendor Civica. City Manager Chris Lohr told council the payment was necessary because of an approaching deadline and that the City expects to be reimbursed for the cost by the other contractor involved in the agreement.
Separately, council appointed Councilmember Debbie Kemper to serve as Carlisle's representative to the JEMS Board beginning Jan. 1 to replace outgoing Councilmember William Bicknell; the appointment carried on a unanimous roll call vote. Mayor Randy Winkler confirmed the start date and congratulated Kemper on the appointment.
Council held first readings of two additional items: Ordinance 19‑25, which would amend and repeal various codified sections related to petty cash and cash drawer practices and is scheduled for a second reading Jan. 13, 2026; and Resolution 28‑25, authorizing participation in the Warren County salt bid process for the 2026–2027 season, which also will return for a second reading on Jan. 13.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
