the zoning person about having 3 vehicles in her yard and she

for the ties.
Mrs. Long questioned if the asphalt could
be recycled when the street crews do the resurfacing. Mr.

this has all been talked over with the owners representative
in what direction they will be allowed. At this time no
drawings have been presented to zoning. The Ameristop was
the last new business to be grandfathered. The Bank sign was
a problem for sight and during the road project we removed the
tree at the corner of Park Drive and had the bank set their
sign back about 10 feet from the road.
Mayor announced the Finance Committee met
to review the 1st quarter results. Income Tax was
higher than last year. The balance has not changed due to
paying debt off. The Fire Fund is still struggling.
Depository Bids when out to 5 banks, recommended to renew with
Community National Bank as our depository. Saw no need to move
out of town at this time. Resolution will be presented to
council at the next council meeting.
Joint Fire Study: Franklin does not feel
the study will happen and that the Township is not co
operating. Franklin is looking at running their own fire and
EMS which they will remove themselves from JEMS. Question of
council at this time is. Will JEMS survive without the
funding of Franklin. Mr. Bowles stated yes. Still need to do
research. JEMS may have to do some down scaling but Mr. Bowles
feel they could survive. Council requested an analysis be done
so the City of Carlisle could be more advanced on what
decision they may have to make. Council made a formal
request to Mr. Bowles MS for a 2007 projection of expenses and
operating revenues. Council is requesting the break down by
next Council meeting.

Lukas, City Manager of Franklin; he stated they have
developed a proposal to the finance committee and expect
things to move quickly, may or may not do a levy. Their focus
is on what is best for Franklin.
