At the Oct. 21 meeting the New Albany City Council approved several non-controversial land-use and finance items by roll-call vote.
Ordinance O 41-20-25: Planning staff presented the final plat for phase 2 of the Courtyards at Haines Creek (56 single-family lots on about 19.21 acres), noting two new roadways (Heidelberg Drive and Marietta Drive), extensions of existing streets and 30-foot tree preservation zones. With no public comment, the council adopted the final plat (Council member motion, seconded) by a 6–0 vote.
Resolution R 38-20-25: Staff described the city’s withdrawal from the cooperative (CUHCC) and proposed establishment of a city self-insured health benefit program for employees and elected officials for plan year 2026, selecting Jefferson Health Plan and related vendors (TPA/Rx vendors noted). Council adopted the resolution (6–0) to allow contracting and meet open-enrollment deadlines.
Resolution R 39-20-25: Finance staff explained a required resolution of intent to reimburse capital expenditure for the Market Street extension project (previous OPWC grant/loan).
