Council approves delinquent-tax collection resolution, $25,000 highway-safety grant, taxiway grant-extension and Roadsoft purchase
Summary
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.
At its March meeting the Shelbyville Mayor and City Council took multiple administrative actions: it authorized city staff to file 2023 delinquent tax bills for collection, approved an annual $25,000 highway-safety grant contract with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, authorized the mayor to sign an ARP grant contract extension for taxiway and hangar design at the Shelbyville Municipal Airport, and approved an additional purchase of Roadsoft software for public works funded from the State Street Aid Fund.
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.
