The Huber Heights City Council on Nov. 10 approved a slate of governance appointments, employee benefits and capital projects.

Appointments: Council confirmed or reappointed a number of residents to city boards and commissions (items 11a–11h). Examples include the appointment of Michelle Fisher to the Parks & Recreation Board (term to 03/31/2028) and reappointments to the Board of Zoning Appeals, the Citizens Water & Sewer Advisory Board, the Planning Commission and the Tax Review Board. Each appointment item was called, seconded and approved in separate roll-call votes; where votes were recorded they were unanimous (9–0).

Employee health insurance: Staff reported the city’s incumbent provider had proposed a 30% increase; after soliciting bids the city selected Cigna with a reported 5% increase. Council adopted the resolution authorizing purchase of FY2026 employee health insurance and waived competitive bidding (item 11p), with the motion carried 9–0. Council requested that staff provide premium schedules to members.

Capital projects and contract actions: Council authorized bid solicitation and contract awards or modifications on several projects: City Hall renovation (solicit bids), a water main improvement project at Walmack Street and Battle Court (engineering/bid award estimate referenced), a contract modification adding $46,950 for right‑of‑way acquisition for the Chambersburg Road West Improvements project, and a bid award for the Powell Road S‑curve realignment. Votes on those items were recorded as either 9–0 or 8–0 depending on member presence in the room at the time of the vote. Council also approved a park adoption agreement with the Huber Heights Rotary Club and formally named the site Monarch Park (ordinance and resolution adopted 9–0).

What’s next: For projects with contract awards or scope increases, staff will proceed with contracting, property‑acquisition steps and procurement as directed; Council asked staff to circulate premiums for health insurance and to follow up on resident flooding reports in the Taylorsville/Fishburg area.
