The City of Carlisle Special City Council met March 2, 2026, to review department budgets, the LOSST budget and other revenue options for the coming fiscal period. Mayor Dan Carver called the meeting to order at 6:03 P.M., and the minutes list elected officials present and several department heads and staff in attendance.
The minutes record that the council discussed questions on department budgets, the LOSST budget and other revenues and then considered “budget options moving forward.” The municipal minutes are summary-form and do not attribute specific comments or dollar figures to individual councilmembers or staff; therefore, the discussion below is reported without speaker-level attributions when the transcript does not provide them.
The council reviewed department budget questions but the minutes do not include line-item proposals or specific funding amounts. The minutes list LOSST as an agenda topic and note discussion of the LOSST budget, but do not record any motions to appropriate or reallocate LOSST funds. Similarly, the entry for “other revenues” indicates council consideration of additional revenue sources, but the minutes do not specify which sources or amounts were proposed.
The minutes state the council discussed options for moving the overall budget forward; no formal budget votes, adoptions, or ordinance readings appear in the record for this meeting. The only formal action recorded in the minutes was a motion to adjourn: Councilmember Tracey McAvoy moved to adjourn, Councilmember Rudy Cataldo seconded, and the motion passed by unanimous consent with a recorded tally of 4-0 at 9:01 P.M.
City staff and department heads listed as present in the minutes included City Administrator Deven Markley, City Clerk Shalee Crispen, Finance Manager Taheton Stephens, Parks and Recreation Supervisor Mason McMillen, Library Director Stacy Goodhue, Electric Supervisor Don Miller, Police Chief Matt Koch and Public Works Supervisor Tony Rhinehart. The minutes note that they attended the meeting; the document does not attribute particular budget recommendations or figures to those staff members.
The minutes also record a citizen participation item but do not provide content or identify participants. The document concludes with a certification block and a note that minutes are unofficial until approved by council and that final approval may include corrections. The council did not record any final budget decisions at this session; any formal actions on the budget would appear in subsequent minutes or a future meeting record.
