Newnan City Council Meeting - October 13, 2026

The October 13, 2026, Newnan City Council meeting approved the 2027 employee benefits renewals, accepting MSI Benefits Group’s recommendation to retain Cigna for the self-funded health plan and Delta Dental. The health plan’s fixed premium increase was $78,469; projected total costs were expected to rise by about $300,000, with pharmacy rebates estimated at approximately $365,000. Delta Dental had proposed a 28% increase, but the city chose to remain with the incumbent; employees will see a slight increase in voluntary dental costs. Other listed benefits were to renew without changes. No vendor contract award amount was stated.

Council also approved a competitively bid Eastview Cemetery improvements contract, recommending Concrete Constructors, while asking staff to pursue a lower or modified wall design with the contractor to reduce the project’s height and potentially its cost; the bid amount was not stated. The council approved emergency-access easement and fence agreements associated with Windsor Newnan LLC, with no costs specified. It adopted the 2026 Capital Improvements Element and the 2026–2046 Comprehensive Plan; staff said impact-fee ordinance hearings and a proposed adoption would follow. A request to declare a city-owned lot surplus and authorize its sale was denied, and consideration of a new History Center lease was moved to the council retreat for further discussion.
