Mayor’s Report: Mayor Ellender announced that he had
received the ballot
language (1974 Liquor Ballot) from Montgomery County. There
were more no
votes than yes. It seems to have created a ban on hard
liquor which does not
effect the sale of beer or wine. The Law Director is
reviewing this and will
have an opinion by the next council meeting.
Mayor Ellender announced that there will be a Special Fire
Levy on the
ballot, February 7th . This means we would withdraw from
JEMS and have our
own combined fire and medical services. At this time we have
1.8 mil which
goes to JEMS and 2.0 mil for the Fire. 308 mil which is
really the same as
we have now but will take away from the JEMS and give to
Carlisle. This
will help our ISO rating which we are in jeopardy of losing.
If we lose our
ISO rating this could increase our home insurance by 18-20%.
Manager’s Report: Asked Clerk to check on schedules of
everyone for the
annual tour.
Mayor asked for a Finance Committee meeting at 6:30PM,
January 24th to be
held.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1423, SECTION 1423.01 OF THE
CODIFIED
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CARLISLE AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
Discussion: Ohio Building Code adopted in 2004 approved new
residential
building code, most of the code stayed the same except
changes for the
gasoline inspections. The inspections had been done by the
utility
companies. Then the OBOA code made the local building
departments
responsible for testing. The OBOA code is based on the
International Fuel
Gas Code, while Cinergy inspects to the National Fuel Gas
Code.
This ordinance is amending Chapter 1423 of the City Code to
delete section
G2417 (406) Inspection, Testing, and Purging of the OBOA
Residential Code.
By deleting the section, responsibility for inspections will
fall to the
local utility company utilizing their own set of standards
and
documentation.

the Ordinance to
be read on three separate occasions and have the ordinance
read by title
only. Seconded by Mrs. Thompson.
