Woodlawn council approves employee health plan and county-funded Marion Road improvements

The Village of Woodlawn council on Oct. 20, 2025, approved two resolutions: one authorizing the municipal manager to contract for employee health coverage through Sidecar Health and another authorizing an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners to contribute funds toward Marion Road improvements.

The law director told the council that the health-care resolution keeps the same insurer and employee/employer cost splits as last year. A motion to adopt Resolution 32-2025 was moved, and the clerk conducted a roll-call vote in which the announced members voted in favor. The resolution was adopted.

The next item, Resolution 33-2025, authorizes an intergovernmental agreement for Marion Road improvements and identifies $300,000 in municipal-road funds provided by the county. Council members asked whether the agreement text mistakenly said 'Marion Avenue'; the law director said that appears to be a scrivener’s error and can be corrected in the final document. A motion to adopt Resolution 33-2025 passed on a roll-call vote.

Votes at the roll calls were recorded in the transcript as "Aye" from the named members present. The clerk recorded approvals for both resolutions during the meeting.

What happens next: The municipal manager and law director will finalize agreement language to fix the road-name drafting error, and staff will proceed with the contract for employee coverage as authorized. No additional amendments or conditions were recorded on the floor.
