As of November 2026
The county's officers are settled; which of their districts contains Liberty Township is not, and it is not settled here from geography. The Board of Commissioners, on the county's own 2025 agenda and its February 2025 boundary map: District 1, Carl H. Baxmeyer, president of the board, in the seat since August 2022; District 2, Rafael Morton; District 3, Anthony "Tony" Hazen. The County Council sits in nine districts lettered A through I, on the county's October 2025 district map: A, Joseph G. Thomas; B, Amy Drake; C, Daniel J. Schaetzle; D, Jennifer Shabazz; E, Diana L. Hess; F, Randall Figg; G, Mark A. Catanzarite; H, Bryan J. Tanner; I, Andy Rutten. Tanner, the District H incumbent, was elected the council's president in January 2026 by a 6–3 bipartisan vote — one aggregator styles him instead "President Pro-Tempore," a title variance printed and not resolved. Which commissioner district, and which council district, contains Liberty Township, the reached record does not establish: the county's district maps were reached only as documents whose text yields street names and officeholder labels, not township assignments, and no district description, sample ballot, or precinct list naming this township's districts was reached. The question stands as a named gap with three settlers: a Liberty Township precinct sample ballot or the Clerk's certified precinct summary, which prints exactly the district races this township votes; a visual read of the county's district boundary maps; and the Indiana Voters portal or county GIS district lookup for a North Liberty address. Its consequence is stated plainly in the next article, because the county's headline 2026 transition turns entirely on it.
