The decision followed a period during the COVID-19 pandemic when the food bank was providing a disproportionate share of direct distributions, Irick said. He told council the mobile pantry at the community gardens served an average of about 50 people per distribution during the period he reviewed and that his data showed a high of 74 during the sample window. \"We serve on average about 50 people at community gardens in the pantry,\" Irick said.

Council members and residents said they observed larger lines and expressed concern about access for people who rely on the drive-through format or who cannot attend partner pantries during limited hours. Council discussion noted Bethel Church’s pantry on Pike Street, which Irick said serves between about 400 and 500 people on busier days according to PantryTrack records. Several speakers suggested increasing partner agency hours or adding a temporary truck during higher-demand months; Irick said Second Harvest is open to dialogue and possible pop-up distributions.

Irick described factors that informed the agency’s decision, including equity across the food bank’s three-county service area and cuts to federal programs that supply food. He said a federal program that subsidized local farmers will end in June and that the loss will reduce the food bank’s inflow (he described the contract value as roughly $450,000 per year for food to the three-county area, and said that he estimates pounds using an internal price-per-pound conversion). He also said donations from manufacturers and retailers and from USDA/TFAP and Ohio Food Producers are important to the food bank’s supply chain.

Irick said his organization is implementing a new process to map gaps in service by census tract and that the food bank will consider pop-up distributions, possible temporary returns to communities where need is demonstrated, and conversations with partner agencies. He offered to follow up with city officials and the local pantry contact to review the data and explore options.

Council members asked for specifics on eligibility and intake. Irick said clients self-attest to meet income guidelines in PantryTrack and that the program typically uses federal poverty guidelines (he said the operating threshold is a percentage above the poverty level but did not provide a single dollar figure at the meeting and offered to follow up with exact numbers).

The exchange concluded with officials and Irick agreeing to continue the conversation; Irick left his business cards and invited residents or pantry volunteers to contact him or his member engagement specialist, Austin Wilson, to discuss opening new partner sites or adjusting hours.

The council did not take a formal vote on this item; Irick’s appearance was listed under communications as an informational presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Council Meeting - March 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Andy Irick, executive director of Second Harvest Food Bank for Clark, Champaign and Logan counties, told the City of New Carlisle council on March 3 that the food bank discontinued its regular mobile pantry at the community gardens to refocus on supplying its 60 partner agencies.","taxTitle","City of New Carlisle, Clark County, Ohio","taxId",72343,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6120104,"Fire chief describes major fire response; two outside firefighters injured and crews used mutual aid",187,2203000,2390000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86&start=2203&end=2390","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86/thumbnail_2203000.jpg","/articles/6120104/Ohio/Fire-chief-describes-major-fire-response-two-outside-firefighters-injured-and-crews-used-mutual-aid","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120104-40f3a66369e9e34e1112b580f9b0abb2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135198&Signature=W~SYzdeEpQcYzXPgOkzJixxR0Q84dLbConA4MzD5PK8sCMxg9zL1wV-ndCbNqiAbCuBb2C3ibNG28mqc8qkerC08sm3zEKD~j4wRxJlCMTJxDf6MIwnTiB1AqIZO4BdIKGm9eEjKk~tC2zZmpOAS-OBGxw~xZPBLMbkK~uHWiLkfGd10HS50-O-0dNv5JPs6aKtZmoex4rVSXPETdBJvHNjo5uLh87BUZBuz6vvFg1f6wnpceh7QUnLJ5tarsaz-ExsIdmg92~0EcGkFJWcsQVU0iH2kPY1SeMlhBtZQYS7kjBqm1fc9vumciGaeS3DyBSLw2Vxb8E8-Q1Kgq~awTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The New Carlisle fire chief reported to the City Council on March 3 that the department responded to a substantial fire the prior Friday that required mutual aid, prolonged on-scene operations and produced injuries to two outside firefighters.

\"We were on scene for 12 hours. We were the first company on scene. We were the first ones through the door,\" the chief said. He described extreme heat that triggered thermal alarms in self-contained breathing apparatus and led him to order crews out of the structure. He said his helmet melted and bent in the heat.

A Huber Heights firefighter fell through a floor and suffered burns and was taken to the hospital for observation and returned to duty the same night, the chief said. Another firefighter from Wright-Patterson (Wright Patt) dislocated a shoulder while performing operations. The chief said teams quickly deployed ladders and extrication measures when the collapse occurred and that mutual-aid crews from multiple departments assisted.

The department reported using more than 100,000 gallons of water during the incident and received mutual aid from several neighboring departments. The chief said the department has used a critical-stress debriefing team and that mental-health debriefings have been called when needed; the department previously called the team after a child fatality earlier in the year. The council praised the chief and crews for their work and asked about firefighter support measures; the chief confirmed peer-support and debrief resources are available.

No formal council action was taken on the fire report; the item was informational and council members thanked the department for its response.","The New Carlisle fire chief reported a major structure fire that required mutual aid, resulted in two firefighter injuries and substantial water use; the department deployed critical-stress teams and continues to recover from the incident",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6120109,"Council approves increasing set‑asides for new city building and road improvements",529,3616000,4145000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86&start=3616&end=4145","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86/thumbnail_3616000.jpg","/articles/6120109/Ohio/Council-approves-increasing-setasides-for-new-city-building-and-road-improvements","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120109-51427f85aeca67f157631cafa6123a20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135198&Signature=Uh4lHpBdKqwjBR30Y-mMdNJI11oKjLkUKoNGq8vfVe~I~x6RCljqRu7S4o-UTdb16~8VWMvDnMjRYAJolNOysn7Jn9l5sh-kvoramUZ5k5CLrkbbmpxgDkGIbhqjYw1Xex8xDl0FXMHAxo6CWvAeE~Dwx68Vtb8NLU58NgihLdWsgPmzL50GqkvbCRQEkbqcgp-tSk03o5o3dPCZD8pXOKxSJKY0q-n-MOL19ZSzegA5KGsyKnsFC8d7WqAHSkfxjwJCNhOA0ofa0AWSxSZ7uFQRL5q4NvxrbtpS2JuOutk3YZqmRSQHcSvlnh-weAYXcN572MvyLwq6xrBoJiKACg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council members voted on a motion at the March 3 meeting to increase annual savings for a future city building and to add $100,000 for road improvements. The motion, described during the meeting as an increase of the city building set‑aside from $25,000 to $75,000 and an additional $100,000 for roads, passed on a roll call vote.

Council discussion focused on priorities for the additional road funding, with several members urging the funds be used for badly deteriorated downtown streets. City staff explained the money would move from the general fund into the street fund and remain available until the service director and engineering secure bids and grant matches. The city manager’s report noted the typical sequence: patching and grant coordination followed by full pavement projects when funding and schedules permit.

No specific construction contracts were awarded at the meeting. Council asked staff to target the extra road funds toward downtown reconstruction where feasible and to coordinate with planned utility work that could otherwise require redoing newly completed streets. The motion did not specify an immediate project list or deadlines beyond council discussion that the funds be made available within the coming months; staff indicated the appropriation would be held in the street fund until projects are ready.","The City of New Carlisle council approved a motion to increase annual set‑asides for a future city building from $25,000 to $75,000 and add $100,000 for roads; the council discussed timing and use for downtown streets and directed staff to hold the funds in the street fund until projects proceed",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6120114,"City council adopts 12‑month moratorium on new vape shops and a separate moratorium on cannabis operations",97,3511000,3608000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86&start=3511&end=3608","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2709333-b0cb3b005e1a3032d70dae19d6517c86/thumbnail_3511000.jpg","/articles/6120114/Ohio/City-council-adopts-12month-moratorium-on-new-vape-shops-and-a-separate-moratorium-on-cannabis-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6120114-e81ae6c8c000c07949e8fb004675a8a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135198&Signature=oTfwFb9~Hgeirz8K5Q5bvCS5b9nDtMCAu8DxyiWHeQCe0UIObxSL4hUcbss5xAknlAIwlXcrNO8HT7phl6l6hK9fpcKnMiknfk5-RDoCwDMvM6CCxNv48D7zUQSoWOlvlQXR-idd8EKSHX35imHkQYIynvVcLD7RmGthp3YfArcnBgI~X4raUCEfiV4ql-RX5MYhB1MCsnyFn7nMx~cl3stbjdRJFYp-mgjXDIwZjm3Xx5iMwptpQMTgwEIrB8Vq0VfUGwX1QQ12cQv5X288cFGzIApVR5K4E9gFgRBZNM8HVqiJKj4~43D65m4AfKA0fAGmuwnkf3~LtPQVNCZcjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of New Carlisle council voted on two moratorium ordinances at its March 3 meeting to give the city time to review local regulations.

Council adopted Ordinance 2025-11, establishing a moratorium of up to 12 months on new vape shops in the city. The ordinance passed on a 7–0 roll call.

The council then adopted Ordinance 2025-12, a moratorium on cannabis operations within the city. That motion passed on a 6–1 vote; Mayor Cook voted No and the remaining council members voted Yes.

Both measures were introduced with public hearing and action scheduled at the same meeting; the ordinances were passed by roll call ballots after motion and second. Council also introduced Ordinance 2025-13, a supplemental appropriations ordinance (public hearing and action set for April 7, 2025) and listed several upcoming intergovernmental and community events on the city calendar.

The moratoria will temporarily bar new vape-shop and cannabis retail operations while staff and council consider local zoning, licensing, and code updates. The council did not attach additional detail to the moratoria in the meeting record beyond the measures’ stated 12‑month maximum for the vape‑shop moratorium and the citywide pause on cannabis operations.","The City of New Carlisle council voted to place a 12‑month moratorium on new vape shops (7–0) and a separate moratorium on cannabis operations (6–1) to allow the city time to consider local regulations; council introduced a fiscal appropriation ordinance for later action","actionData","errors"]
