The current seats, as of November 11, 2026

VERIFIED AGAINST THE TOWN'S OWN SITE AND THE 2026 COUNTY AGENDAS

The town council that sits in November 2026 is a three-member body in the third year of a four-year term. The town's official Members page lists each man as a "Publicly Elected Official" serving a term commencing January 1, 2024, and ending December 31, 2027: Nicolas Hanlon, Council President — the town executive for 2026; Joseph Nehls, Council Vice President; and Peter Quist, Councilman. (The page's heading spells the president's first name "Nicolas"; the photograph file on the same page is named "Nicholas Hanlon" — both forms print, the town's own spelling in its text governing the body of this section.) The page gives no ward or at-large designations and no party affiliations, and no other reached source supplies them; a three-member town council elected for a single town-wide term is what the record shows, and the parties of the members are carried as not stated in the official record rather than guessed. The council's one named seat outside the Town Hall: the St. Joseph County Area Plan Commission's 2025 and 2026 agendas list DJ Tavernier as "Town Council Representative, Town of Osceola" — the council's representative on the county planning body, the seat the town holds as a member jurisdiction (its zoning ordinance was adopted into the county system by Ordinance No. 15-1996, December 16, 1996) — together with Lori L. Kelly on the Commission's Advisory Council on Town Affairs. The remaining current officers this section could verify are stated in their own entries: the Town Marshal, Thomas Hixon (police entry); the Street Supervisor, Greg Young (town hall and departments entry); and the clerk-treasurer, whose current holder the official record reached does not name — the vacancy of a name, not of the office, is told whole in the clerk's entry and carried as GAP-OSGOV-2. No town manager or administrator, no utility superintendent, and no town building official is named anywhere on the town's official site as crawled November 11, 2026; the town attorney appears in the record in January 2022 — Jamie C. Woods, named then as the town's attorney in the Indiana Courts notice of his appointment to the St. Joseph Superior Court — and no later holder of that retainer was found.
