Stampers Creek Township
Janice Newlin, Trustee
August 13, 2026
The Stampers Creek Township Board met at 6:00 p.m. on August 13, 2026, at the township office,
located at 1555 Millersburg Rego Road, Orleans, IN 47452, for the purpose of conducting a public
hearing on a proposed reduction in appropriations, which had been properly advertised on the
DLGF website.
Present were Trustee Janice Newlin and Township board members Cory Creceilius, Chris Burger
and Sarah Whiteman. Also in attendance was Consultant John F. Noblitt.
The first order of business was approval of January 21, 2026, minutes 3/0 on motion by Cory
Creceilius and second by Chris Burger.
After discussion and the public hearing, the reduction in appropriations ordinance was duly
approved as shown on the attached ordinance and as follows.
TOWNSHIP GENERAL FUND
309 Cemetery Care
440 Imp. To Township Buildings
441 Imp. To Township Property
TOTAL REDUCTION
($3,000)
($8,000)
($1,521)
($12,521)
In other business the 2027 township budgets were discussed and approved 3/0 for publishing on
motion by Cory Creceilius and second by Chris Burger.
Noblitt reported that the township was currently preparing for an upcoming 4-year audit by the
Indiana State Board of Accounts (SBOA).
Deb and Jerry Knight were present at the meeting to report on several items concerning the Lynd
School. Among those items were some deficiencies in the electrical wiring original part of the
building. They had contacted an electrician to make some emergency repairs, and he also
recommended a complete upgrade of the old wiring in that section of the building. He also declined
to charge anything for his work for the repairs. She also said that at a recent event, an individual had
approached her with a donation to go toward new wiring and the promise that if more was needed to
let them know. After discussion, it was decided by consensus for the Knights to seek quotes for the
new wiring and bring them back before the board for final approval. Some members of the board
were concerned about the contractor having liability insurance, and as the work would only be
repairs no permits would be needed.
In additional discussions, the board asked the Knights to seek quotes for a new kitchen window and
an air conditioner for the kitchen and present them to the board for consideration.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
