The Templeton City Council on Jan. 5 discussed the Carroll County Sheriff's proposed increase in contracted law-enforcement services and conducted a budget workshop before approving the consent agenda, which included minutes, a financial review and the November 2025 Treasurer's Report.
The minutes state the council discussed an increase in contract law-enforcement services from the Carroll County Sheriff's Department and that "the per capita rate increase will be 1.5% based on population county wide." The entry does not identify a particular speaker who raised the figure in the record, and no formal motion or vote on the law-enforcement contract is recorded in the minutes.
Council conducted a budget workshop during the meeting; the minutes do not record a formal outcome from the workshop. Mayor Behrens then asked for any comments on the consent agenda. On a motion by Cory Drees, seconded by Mark Bauer, the council approved the consent agenda. The November 2025 Treasurer's Report listed $51,285.75 in revenue, $35,741.24 in expenditures and $1,516,754.64 in total cash and investments. The minutes contain a detailed list of claims and payments, including payroll and bond interest disbursements, but do not tie each payment to follow-up actions.
By unanimous vote the council approved the consent agenda and moved on to maintenance and mayoral reports before adjourning at 8:03 p.m.
