Indiana Court of Appeals
City of New Albany v. Board of Commissioners of the County of Floyd, New Albany Floyd County Indiana Building Authority
18A-MI-1627
Miscellaneous. Reverses the Floyd Superior Court’s entry of judgment in favor of Floyd County against the New Albany Floyd County Indiana Building Authority and the City of New Albany. Finds the Building Authority lacked the statutory authority to agree to a turn-over provision in the 1992 lease, making it void. However, finds the county can still exercise a purchase option pursuant to the lease. Remands with instructions for the trial court to vacate the order granting title to the Criminal Justice Center in the County. Judge Elaine B. Brown concurs in part and dissent in part in a separate opinion.
