Mr. Terry Johnson of 290 Baker Lane requested that he would like to have his meeting scheduled that was promised to him. Mr. Johnson stated if it is a problem getting everyone here we could hold the meeting after the next council meeting. Mayor asked Mrs. Callahan if that would be possible then council could decide whether to stay or not.
Mr. Winkler stated he had called Mrs. Callahan last week when there was a meeting scheduled and told her he was running late but was on his way. Mrs. Callahan, Chief Bruck, Lt. Sylder were in attendance and I (Mr. Winkler) was on my way. Mrs. Callahan called Mr. Winkler back and told him not to come that Mr. Johnson and his brother had left. Mr. Johnson stated and “wanted to reschedule.” Mr. Johnson stated the way the meeting came about was that Mr. Johnson showed up and talked with Mrs. Callahan and she said she would let me know about the meeting. I had a job two hours away pouring a slab that I was committed to. Mr. Johnson called Mr. Green and gave him his phone number and told him that he may be out of range but would be able to receive his message in a few hours. Mr. Green told Mr. Johnson that if he heard anything he would let me know. I didn’t hear anything Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Mr. Johnson stated he started pouring concrete at 8AM on Monday, received a message from Mrs. Callahan at 8:12am calling to schedule a meeting at 6PM Monday evening. Mr. Johnson stated in the meeting last week Mrs. Callahan said she wanted the new councilmembers to hear this for the first time and so I rushed home and called Fred and we came to the meeting, not one council member was there, not one. Mrs. Long stated she did not understanding what Mr. Johnson is wanting. Mrs. Long asked Mr. Johnson, you want all of council to be there? Mr. Johnson stated that is what she told me I could have. Mrs. Long stated we all cannot meet with you without having a scheduled meeting that is against our rules. We cannot do that.

Mr. Green stated he had called Mrs. Callahan and said he was not available for the Monday night meeting. Mrs. Callahan had not heard from Mr. Boschert other than if he could not make
it he would contact Mr. Johnson personally and that is what Mr. Boschert did. Mr. Green stated to Mr. Johnson if you are wanting this large number of people together whether its council members or some composite of it that Mr. Johnson, you would need to be flexible as far as time goes because getting all those people together is going to be a bear. Mr. Green stated he guessed the offer is, in order to make the meeting we would need to find a time available for everyone. Mr. Green stated he knew he was available on Tuesday evening. Mrs. Callahan stated, I don’t know if my staff is available that late at night. That is the reason I tried to do it last week, that was the only time Lt. Slyder was available that is why we did it on Monday. Mrs. Callahan stated she had spoken with Mr. Boschert on Friday morning and he told her that if he (Mr. Boschert) was not able to make it he would call Mr. Johnson. Mrs. Callahan stated she e-mailed everyone again and the only persons she thought was coming was Mr. Green and Mr. Green let Mrs. Callahan know around 1PM by e-mail on Monday that he was sorry but something came up and he could not attend the meeting. Mrs. Callahan stated she knew that much, she did not know at that time about Mr. Boschert whether he was or not attending the meeting. Mr. Winkler had the time before indicated he would like to be here, so I knew possibly Mr. Green, Mr. Boschert interrupted and stated he had called Mr. Johnson but had not informed Mrs. Callahan about not being able to make the meeting. Mrs. Callahan stated she saw Chad Johnson that day because he happened to be in the office for another reason and he said he wasn’t coming tonight. Mrs. Callahan stated she wasn’t expecting him but thanked him for letting her know, because you (Mr. Green) had said something to Mr. Boschert that this is your ward at a previous council meeting so I expected you two and I knew that from last time that Mr. Winkler was interested those are the only three I expected because I could only have three at a time. Mrs. Callahan stated she confirmed as soon as she could confirm with Mr. Johnson as soon as she knew Mr. Winkler was coming, she didn’t know if Mr. Boschert was or wasn’t but assumed he was and she knew Mr. Green wasn’t later that day. Mrs. Callahan stated she could not wait any longer not to confirm with you. Mr. Boschert stated that basically he did not want to be the holdup and Mr. Boschert stated he would get a hold of Mr. Johnson if he (Mr. Boschert) could not make the meeting, which he did. Mr. Boschert stated because he wanted Mr. Johnson to have his meeting.

Mrs. Callahan stated that Lt. Slyder was there, Chief Bruck was there and the Chief has offered twice to meet with you one on one. Chief Bruck is new and I wanted him to hear your side of the story. Chief Bruck has offered twice to meet with you and you told him no, the last time he asked you if you wanted to meet with him one on one, this was on Monday night and you stated no and you and your brother left. So he said fine if you change your mind give him a call. Mrs. Callahan stated she knows he’s called at least once prior to that to try and set a meeting up. Mr. Terry Johnson stated he’s never called me, but I got the word that he’d talk with me. That’s not it I was told I would have this meeting and that’s what I want to have.
Mr. Green asked Mr. Johnson if there were any days throughout the middle of the day that your available and is that a option for you? Mr. Johnson stated yes. Mrs. Callahan stated during regular business hours is fine. Mrs. Callahan stated if Mr. Johnson would call Flo with what dates/times during regular business hours he’s available then she could contact Council
and try and set the meeting up. Mr. Boschert commented would be better mid day or afternoon.
Mr. Martin Neal of 436 W. Lomar stated he has listened to the same request three different times from Mr. Terry Johnson. Mr. Neal stated his personal belief is that we have a strong City Manager Government. Mr. Neal said if he came to council with a request and asking for a special meeting with council to discuss a private grievance that you would turn him down flat. Thank you.

Council Report:
Mrs. Long stated that at the meeting before there had been dates associated with Mr. White attending a council meeting and Mrs. Long moved to have an open invite whenever he is available to attend a council meeting. Mr. Winker commented that he thought Mrs. Callahan had stated that Mr. White was not available during the month of March but would confirm when he would be. Mrs. Callahan commented that Mr. White said he might be available April 13th but he has not confirmed. Mrs. Long stated she just wanted this to be an open invite whenever he is available.
Mr. Winkler stated he received a phone call from a lady who visits Roscoe Roof Park on a daily basis and she has observed that people walking their dogs are not cleaning up after them. Mr. Winkler asked if you’re going to walk your dog in the park please clean up after them. Also the lady witnessed a dog running free and jumped upon a lady and knocked her down. The dog was friendly and the lady was not hurt, but the city does have a leach law and people should abide by this and keep their dogs on leaches.
Mr. Green welcomed everyone who came out this evening. Mr. Green commented that he spoke with Tony Carpenter, owner of Beyond the Green House, regarding the War Memorial.
Mr. Green encouraged Mr. Carpenter to submit a proposal and Mr. Green offered an invitation for him to meet with Council. Mr. Carpenter felt he could propose a way to enhance other services so that there would be no or little cost to the city. Mr. Carpenter stated he would show a preliminary as well as a finished sketch. Mr. Carpenter is an architect in landscaping, and would not charge for his drawings. Mrs. Callahan suggested that Mr. Carpenter should present his presentation to the Park Board first and get their opinions and then bring to the Council. Mr. Green stated this is mostly labor enhanced and should be completed by Memorial Day. Mrs. Callahan stated she would ask Mr. Casson to spray paint the right of way.
Mr. Boschert announced that the JEMS Board met last Monday. Mr. Boschert stated he was not aware that while the chassis is being worked on the company gave JEMS a loaner to use so that we were not down one vehicle.
Mr. Boschert reminded everyone that the Census forms are out. Mrs. Long asked if there were blank forms here at Town Hall in case someone does not receive a form. Mrs. Callahan stated yes. Located in the hall way. Mr. Boschert asked Mrs. Callahan about the big chunks of rock
out on Park Drive, that were left behind from CSX when leaving their project. Mrs. Callahan stated would contact someone about cleaning up their mess when leaving.
Mr. Johnson commented that he has received a couple of phone calls regarding the rocks also. Mr. Johnson state he brought up an idea a few weeks back regarding a policy for open bid request. When the city has a project not above or greater than $500 for bid, would be nice if the Area Chamber of Commerce could post on their website so that our smaller business would be aware of the project. Mrs. Callahan stated that Miamisburg has something already in place and will check into this to see what it entails and tweak to our needs, and will be sure Christine Brown receives a copy for the Chamber Website.
Mrs. Callahan wanted to clarify, bid. When we bid it is a formal bid and it’s has to be advertised. I think what we are talking about are quotes and proposals. Mr. Johnson stated that was correct.
Mr. Lickliter stated he appreciated how the weekend was handled regarding the train fire on Saturday morning. Mr. Lickliter felt that everyone that was there did a good job in handling it, and keeping us safe. The other thing, Mr. Lickliter wanted to thank Mrs. Callahan for the call early in the morning to inform us on what had developed in the city. Mr. Green stated he was grateful also, but was wondering if this would have fallen under the Code Red system. Mrs. Callahan stated if this had been hazardous material involved, it would have. We don’t want to overuse the system because we really want people to listen when we have to use it.

This week there has been some articles written that Ed Richter has published with the Middletown Journal.  I swear the City of Carlisle is keeping this man in business.  He is staying busy covering all the mishaps and issues going on in Carlisle.  This week he has tossed up completion  on one subject and a continuing desire to report on the other.  He has probably seen a small little notch in his traffic from our Carlisle Daily site, as well.

The completion of one subject this week is, Carlisle Police Chief Tim Boggess has resigned.  Richter claims there are many stipulations to his resignation.  You can read those by clicking here to his story.  I will try to see if I can get any more details of what is going on and report at a later time.

Then there is the continued desire to follow Tim Humphries.  Now a small percentage of our community truly thought this site was being done by our Mayor and that if he wasn't doing it then he had someone doing it for him.  Not sure their reasoning.  I have been accused of being in the Mayor's back pocket.  If there is anyone in our Mayor's back pocket right now it is Ed Richter.  He has reported from our last City Council meeting that Mayor Tim Humphries has asked for his computer that was seized by authorities awhile back.  Richter was able to capture the ambiance of the Council Meeting and I will, as the poor blogger, try to obtain more facts and give you something later this weekend.  If you want to read Richter's story about our Mayor click here!

Last night City of Carlisle's City Council meeting, Law Director David Chicarelli was prepared to report on the findings on the Mayor's work computer that was confiscated back late last year.  Instead, Council voted 4-3 to delay the report because it seems they were not notified that the report would be read in the open session of last night's City Council meeting.  The vote also was cast to give Council and the Mayor time to prepare properly for the conclusion of the report.

The report has been delayed till the next City Council meeting on February 23rd.

 Meet Sharon Shelton, Ward 2 City Council Candidate.  Carrie Branson did not choose to run for re-election this term and has left the race to Sharon Shelton and Scott Boschert.

I was born on a farm in Blue Stone, Kentucky just outside of Morehead on July 20, 1954 to Russell Howard and Betty Jane Bowles. In 1955, my parents, two older siblings, and I moved to just outside of Carlisle, Ohio in Franklin Township when my father obtained a job with Armco Steel (now AK Steel) in Middletown where he worked until his retirement in 1985. Over the years my 5 siblings and I attended Carlisle Local Schools where I ran cross country track. In 1972, I graduated in the last graduating class in the old high school (now Chamberlain Middle School). 

After high school, I began classes at Miami University of Middletown where I studied Business Management. In addition, I began work with Sears & Roebucks in downtown Middletown. In 1975, I married my wife of 34 years Melissa Garrett. In 1976, my wife and I moved to Urbana, Ohio where I worked as Manager of Clancy's Restraunt. In 1977, we moved to Tipp City, Ohio when I was transferred to the restraunt in Tipp City. Also, in 1977, my wife gave birth to our first child and only daughter Shawna.

In 1978, we moved back home to Franklin Township on Martz-Paulin Road when I began work for Rainbow Bread Bakery in Dayton, Ohio. In 1980, my wife and I had our second child Jeremy. In 1982, we moved into our new home on Nikki Court in Carlisle, Ohio where I still live today. In 1984, I began work with Sysco Foods Inc. in Cincinnati, Ohio where I still work to this day. In addition, I volunteered as a Fire Fighter with the Carlisle Fire Department where I eventually became Lieutenant. In 1985, my wife gave birth to our third and last child Andrew. In 1994, I was elected to my first term to City Council as an At-Large Council Member where I still serve.
Over the years, my wife and I have volunteered in many capacities within the community. Mainly activities that our children where involved in while attending Carlisle Local Schools. All three of my children graduated from Carlisle High School and my daughter Shawna and son Andrew both attended the Miami Valley Career Technology Center. Some of the activities that I participated in was the Carlisle Charter Committee, the SAY Soccer Association, the Pee Wee Football Association, the Boy Scouts of America, the Carlisle Fire Explorers, Carlisle Police Explorers, and the Carlisle High School Marching Band. 

Both my wife and I are graduates of the first Carlisle Citizens Police Academy and have volunteered with both the Carlisle Fire and Police Departments. In addition, my wife and I are active members with the Franklin First Baptist Church in downtown Franklin. In 1996, my daughter Shawna married Brian Newkirk of Franklin Township. In 1997, my daughter gave birth to my grandson Dylan and in 2001 gave birth to my granddaughter Bailey. Both of my grandchildren like my children are very active in many local and Carlisle School activities. All three of my children still live in Carlisle to this day.
