Summary of Proceedings

New Albany Board of Public Works & Safety Meeting - October 27, 2026

The Board of Public Works & Safety met on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. in Room 100 of New Albany City Hall. The meeting covered unfinished business regarding solicitor's permits, a grant easement approval for an animal care facility, and updates on several paving and infrastructure projects.

Unfinished Business

  • Justin Clowdus, High Impact Solutions (Authorized AT&T Dealer) – Solicitor's Permits: The item was previously tabled pending the applicant providing information to the clerk's office. The board discussed whether to keep it on unfinished business or remove it until the information is received. No decision was recorded; the matter appears to have been deferred.

New Business / Grant Easement

  • Grant Easement to Park County RAEC for Animal Care Facility: A representative presented a request for a grant easement to allow Park County RAEC temporary access to the main access road for the animal care facility, which recently broke ground. The board moved and seconded a motion to approve the execution of the grant easement. The motion passed unanimously, and the president's signature was to be obtained after the meeting.

City Officials' Communications – Infrastructure Updates

  • Paving Projects: The concrete subcontractor is finishing concrete work along Edgemont Drive and Chadwood Drive. Milling has started on Greenview Drive, Jaffrey Drive, Farrington Drive, Sydney Court, Ashley Court, Wellington, and Edgemont. The concrete subcontractor will then move to Greenaway Place for sidewalk work in advance of paving.
  • Trail Improvements: Crews are pouring concrete curb for landscaping and sidewalk between Elm and Oak Street, and finishing the installation of the HAWK signal at Fourth and Main on the trail.
  • Oak Street Reconstruction: The contractor plans to complete relocation of the water main along Oak Street, which will allow resumption of sanitary and stormwater construction that was on hold due to issues with the water company.
  • Charlestown Road / Slate Run Road Signal: The part needed for traffic control is scheduled to arrive by the end of the week, with installation and striping expected by week's end.

Approval of Minutes

  • The regular meeting minutes for October 20, 2026, were approved by a voice vote (all in favor).

Key Outcomes

  • Grant easement approved for Park County RAEC to support the animal care facility construction.
  • Infrastructure updates noted with no further action required.
  • Minutes of October 20, 2026, approved.
  • Unfinished business regarding solicitor's permits remained pending pending receipt of information from the applicant.
  • The meeting adjourned after a brief exchange.
