Olive Township: trustee, board, and the assessor question

As of 11 November 2026

The township that holds the town is governed from 110 South Arch Street. Trustee: Will Miller, on the township's own site, with Clerk Tina Scott and Deputy Trustee Tom Keen. Township Board: Robert Middlebrook, Keith Batzel, and Tim Creason — corroborated by township letterhead and the board's 2024 minutes. In November 2026 Miller, a Republican, stood uncontested for trustee, and the board race was numerically three candidates for three seats — Middlebrook (D), Batzel (R), and Creason (R), the same three incumbents — so the township's government continues either way; the three take or retake office on 1 January 2027, a transition in form. Their vote totals were not reached; the settler is the County Clerk's precinct summary. No Olive Township assessor office or race exists in the 2026 record — the county's only township-assessor race in 2026 was Penn Township's — and Olive Township is accordingly stated, at that strength, to be assessed through the county assessor in 2026; the statutory citation itself was not pulled, and its settler is IC 36-6-5 and the county assessor's records. The township's own frame belongs to the Story of New Carlisle section's record: formed in 1832 — laid out at the March term in the 1875 atlas's account, formed 6 May 1832 in Howard's, both printed in the Story of New Carlisle section — and still the county's second township in size, exceeded only by Penn.
