Key actions recorded in the meeting record:
- Resolution authorizing filing of 2023 delinquent tax bills for collection: approved by roll call. Staff reminded the public the deadline to pay 2023 delinquent taxes to avoid transfer to collection was Wednesday, March 26 at 4 p.m.
- Resolution authorizing annual grant contract with Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security for a $25,000 Tennessee Highway Safety Office award: approved by roll call.
- Business item: authorization for the mayor to sign a grant-contract extension for a taxiway and hangar design project (an ARP grant). Staff said the extension adjusts time only, with no additional funds; the total ARP grant amount is $65,000. Council authorized the mayor to sign the extension.
- Purchasing: approved an additional Roadsoft purchase for public works, funded from State Street Aid fund balance; city staff stated the added amount was $20,000 (the motion amends the budget from that fund balance).

Why this matters: These routine measures advance procurement, grant management and tax-collection actions that affect city operations and funding flows. The delinquent-tax resolution also creates a near-term deadline for taxpayers to pay before collections begin.

Next steps: Staff will execute the grant extension and the Roadsoft purchase, publish the finalized grant documents, and proceed with delinquent-tax collection procedures after the payment deadline.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Regular Session - March 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Shelbyville council authorized delinquent-tax collections, accepted a $25,000 Tennessee Highway Safety Office grant, authorized the mayor to sign a $65,000 ARP grant contract extension for airport taxiway/hangar design, and approved an additional $20,000 purchase of Roadsoft for public works.","taxTitle","City Council Meetings, Shelbyville, Bedford County, Tennessee","taxId",70967,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277472,"Council raises daily pass fee for recreation center to $5, approves 60-day grace period",123,1761000,1884000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6&start=1761&end=1884","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6/thumbnail_1761000.jpg","/articles/6277472/Tennessee/Council-raises-daily-pass-fee-for-recreation-center-to-5-approves-60-day-grace-period","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277472-46ade598f330d67c11a8ae5a70712833/orig.mp4?Expires=1776239124&Signature=MRqb34zff5HgjpJNJZoe4COZgxRYoHqFLbnEzhIng-pLHqZzuBCP4i6N3p~Fum3kdUZ6Ie6E0~SbGKtg-ruphIPZa0LkDR~C4~8kR7lGnTt2aTJwMJ5~868m3Rzhhl1JSxXbXYLZn7UrXS7BF1~2u56UgLIMQNzmwjviIDf2BBrLKKSvCEorjxrj~YoNvOFdBTxB28tdF6NFGOUFzMPEL6JTrZX74zlU1VK4mLwOSNVi8skdVvH4HkgvfLVyhSorS8y6iXYDCfnbud-QPbL0EMQK3A9oRg8ZZG3bYYGme0JJ07Ot0RFLJZm9hWljkH90Y~3XFHcH-1mRiRmI7BN3fw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville Mayor and City Council approved a resolution setting the Shelbyville Recreation Center daily pass fee at $5.

Parks and Recreation Director Trevor had previously briefed the council on proposed fee changes. Council members discussed figures referenced during the meeting and asked for a short delay before the new rate takes effect; the council agreed informally in the meeting to a 60-day grace period.

Why this matters: The daily pass rate change affects residents who use the recreation center; the grace period is intended to allow patrons and staff to prepare for the increase.

Next steps: Staff will finalize the effective date after the 60-day transition and return any necessary administrative updates to the council if required.","By resolution the council set the Shelbyville Recreation Center daily pass fee to $5, with the council agreeing to a 60-day grace period before implementation to allow outreach and transition.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277477,"Council approves additional legal fees for local-option sales tax lawsuit",115,2095000,2210000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6&start=2095&end=2210","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6/thumbnail_2095000.jpg","/articles/6277477/Tennessee/Council-approves-additional-legal-fees-for-local-option-sales-tax-lawsuit","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277477-126cc157618fd5c867761a9daba72062/orig.mp4?Expires=1776239124&Signature=WUL7IOKX80I-rbPpgkDgJSNeT9H~iUm6eJ7S7o9Vk4-uazuI2-za~fdBhy~IwVolVVYE2a0kxj6EltYcLmu3feLqsAtBXMiaFHlRd4gzWsYSFxRbi~RE2g4IHJKuCpbhp63chd~lPxtwwrrmm5eADykYiFyIYRZTReFdhgfTZipSf2I1zyi3684Iny-TeVYLagDAZtXHecP~mGmgjr5hpdUCbCqe90kfUcrcEsomo19dOGlWu7L0Xin6u4XlcSUH2hseerZQm4V9xux~0VFdVPOEDj-~UXK-Ik2TlokDWyrmhP8mtd6oC4AMAtcn49dZBZa93VXPGhadD~RUd~J9vg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville Mayor and City Council voted to approve additional attorney fees for the city's local-option sales tax lawsuit. Council members discussed the timing of hearings and the need to move the case toward resolution after prior scheduling delays.

Council recorded discussion that a special-judge hearing had been scheduled for April 22 and that the expense was intended to carry the litigation through that process. During debate some members expressed frustration about repeated schedule changes and urged concluding the matter. The motion to approve the additional attorney fees carried in a roll-call vote recorded in the meeting minutes.

Why this matters: The lawsuit concerns local-option sales tax collections and the city\u000budgetary exposure to the dispute could be significant; attorney-fee approvals move the case forward toward adjudication.

Next steps: The city will continue to fund litigation through the April hearing and report back to council as the special-judge process proceeds.","Shelbyville council approved additional attorney fees related to a local-option sales tax lawsuit; council discussion noted the fees would support a special-judge hearing scheduled in April.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6277482,"Council recommends three-year PILOT offer for Century Mold, asks attorney to include clawback language",924,2231000,3155000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6&start=2231&end=3155","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2654409-91abca3ec3ce584782ea6d4556c45ba6/thumbnail_2231000.jpg","/articles/6277482/Tennessee/Council-recommends-three-year-PILOT-offer-for-Century-Mold-asks-attorney-to-include-clawback-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6277482-cc7d34dcad41e8139fe3e8d33bd99ca6/orig.mp4?Expires=1776239124&Signature=nADU7nr6DQzft4yuYgDOrMKwqbaVTticl9ZOOjYG1JRapyD8-1qpxB-C4U~un0wrKpKFebh1Beb9hWSIyyhKmj1t65iRpFTu-L1kXSQWWHkSni0yTAauvl1SF45J3NFuEkF81VTkS8PdoZZoiQ3p0Ew2dhPFSwBvEhJTPMFhm7x9ioHxjV4mCKAY5IFRTsFuiuUSu3VDcYv-whQxDq3p6bUuAL2~zX5FU3icYiKtFXv1b3ZzJwffLVn341VHwQHlZIKBo0Z3CWOsuRMqTbv7lPV2LsH~g0hPsk8q11fGbtJyM2YSyOczBs5U8Xn1mnl4P8I7G1IiZ-ep4xdhpR2sMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville Mayor and City Council on March directed staff and the local Industrial Development Board
ttorney to pursue a three-year PILOT offer for Century Mold's proposed $6 million machinery and equipment purchase and to include clawback language in any agreement.

Council discussion noted Century Mold already participates in four existing pilot agreements with the city and that the company currently employs about 87 people (as stated during the meeting). Council members and staff debated the appropriate length of PILOT terms, with some members preferring three years and others suggesting longer terms (five to seven years) tied to depreciation schedules and job protections.

Finance and tax staff described uncertainties that affect the calculation of tax savings, including the exact equipment categories, depreciation schedules and future tax rates; staff said figures presented were estimates. Council members asked for protections if the company laid off workers or closed during the PILOT period; staff and council referenced standard clawback provisions that would require repayment in such cases.

After discussion, the council voted to ask the IDB attorney to negotiate a three-year PILOT proposal and to include clawback language and reporting requirements. Council members also asked staff to develop a standardized matrix for future PILOT requests so the council could evaluate proposals consistently.

Why this matters: PILOTs reduce short-term tax bills to incentivize investment and retention of local businesses. The length and structure of a PILOT affect potential city revenue and the incentive a company receives, and clawback language protects the city if promised employment or investment does not materialize.

Next steps: Staff will provide a formal recommendation to the IDB attorney reflecting the council\rirection (three-year structure with clawback). The council also signaled intent to develop a standardized evaluation matrix for future PILOT requests.

City leaders said the package of ordinance changes updates Section 2.2 (definitions), adds section 6.4(y) (supplementary regulations for transfer stations) and revises portions of Article 5 governing R3a and R4 residential districts to set a 30% gross project-area open-space target and adjust the active-open-space percentage. City recorder Lisa Smith read the ordinances aloud at the meeting after the council voted to allow captions-only readings.

Council members discussed several related zoning map items. Two rezoning requests filed by a property owner for parcels on McDowell Lane and State Route 437 were moved to defer for 30 days so council members could review corridor-access materials and constituent concerns related to development along the bypass. Council members said they wanted input from an upcoming corridor-access meeting before taking final votes on those rezoning petitions.

The council adopted the ordinance updates to definitions, site-plan procedures and the R3a/R4 district standards after motions and roll-call votes. During discussion, planning staff and council members emphasized the changes do not retroactively affect approved developments that have already applied for permits or final plats.

The ordinance package and the deferred rezoning items proceeded as follows:
- Ordinance to amend Article 2 (definitions), Article 6 (supplementary regulations) and Appendix 1 (table of uses), including a new section 6.4(y) for transfer stations: approved (second and final reading). Vote: recorded roll call with Blevins, Turnbull, Bellhouse, Ewing and Noel voting yes.
- Ordinance to amend Shelbyville zoning map for ~8.75 acres at 138 McDowell Lane (R2 to R4): deferred 30 days (motion and second; unanimous roll call in favor).
- Ordinance to amend Shelbyville zoning map for ~4.6 acres on State Route 437 (R2 to C2): deferred 30 days (motion and second; unanimous roll call in favor).
- Ordinance to update site-plan procedures (Article 3) and definitions (Article 2): approved (first reading motions carried by roll call).
- Ordinance amending R3a/R4 open-space and density provisions to reflect 30% gross project-area open space and corresponding changes to active-open-space percentages: approved (vote recorded by roll call).

Why this matters: zoning-text changes determine what uses are allowed in Shelbyville and the standards developers must meet for new housing and commercial projects. The deferrals show the council is seeking additional study and public input before rezoning land adjacent to the bypass.

Next steps: The rezoning items were deferred to the council's next regular meeting for additional review and for consideration after the March corridor-access meeting. Staff said previously submitted planning approvals will not be affected if an application is already vested.
