The City Council of New Franklin, Ohio, convened on March 19, 2025, to address several key agenda items, focusing on community development and employee health insurance.

The meeting commenced with a discussion on the renewal of the city's health insurance provider for employees. It was noted that there would be no increase in premiums, a positive development as the city has not experienced a premium increase since at least 2021. This update was well-received by council members, indicating a stable financial outlook for employee benefits.

Following this, the Community Development Committee was opened by Mr. Shaffer at 6:04 PM. The primary focus of this segment was on Resolution 25-R-22, which authorizes the city to enter into an agreement with Envision Group LLC. This firm will serve as a planning consultant for the Franklin and McLaren Emergency project. The mayor was invited to provide further insights on this resolution, highlighting the importance of the partnership for future community planning efforts.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to maintaining employee benefits while also advancing community development initiatives. Further discussions and decisions regarding these topics are expected in upcoming meetings.
