At a glance: New Albany council adopts zoning, tax and events measures on July 2
Summary
Council adopted three ordinances (subdivision regulations, Village Center form‑based code changes and the tax budget) and two resolutions (Chamber services agreement and TIF revenue sharing) during the July 2 meeting; all recorded votes were unanimous where called.
At its July 2 meeting the New Albany City Council recorded a series of formal actions, summarized here for quick reference.
Ordinances adopted - O‑20‑2024 (amend subdivision regulations): Adopted after second reading; roll call 7–0. - O‑21‑2024 (amend Village Center form‑based code to clarify open‑space requirements): Adopted after second reading; roll call 7–0. - O‑20‑02‑2024 (tax budget for fiscal year ending 12/31/2025): Adopted after second reading; roll call 7–0.
Resolutions adopted - R‑28‑2024: Authorizes the city manager to execute a services agreement with the New Albany Chamber of Commerce for community events (4th of July, Oktoberfest). Council opened public hearing, received no public comment on the resolution and adopted it by roll call 7–0. Council and Chamber representatives discussed sponsorship, event planning cycles and potential future changes to event roles. - R‑30‑2024: Authorizes the finance director to make a retroactive payment and ongoing biannual TIF revenue sharing payments to Plain Township for fire and EMS related to Research & Technology and Blacklick‑2 (Bob Evans) TIFs. Adopted by roll call 7–0; finance staff to finalize retroactive calculation and implement distributions.
Other formal actions - Council voted to amend the meeting agenda to add a personnel executive session under ORC §121.22(G)(1); motion passed 7–0. - Council voted to adjourn to executive session later in the evening (personnel) and returned before adjourning at about 10:30 p.m.
Why this matters: the ordinances update local land‑use code and formalize the tax budget required by state and county processes; the Chamber agreement formalizes event management processes and the TIF sharing provides budgetary support to Plain Township for emergency services.
