Shelby council approves alley and wage ordinances, ODOT signal agreement and chip-seal consent; moves to consider executive session
Summary
Shelby City Council passed an alley ordinance (No. 35 2025), suspended rules to pass a wage ordinance (Order No. 12026), approved ordinance No. 1 2026, approved a $609,000 ODOT traffic-signal project agreement (city's portion stated in the record as $135.03), and gave consent for state chip-seal work (Resolution No. 5 2026); council also moved to enter executive session to discuss public-employee compensation.
The Shelby City Council voted on several pieces of legislation during the meeting.
On third reading the council passed an ordinance described as making a portion of an alley between West Tucker Avenue and Earl Avenue part of the city (identified in the record as ordinance number 35 2025). The motion for passage was made by Mister Roberts and seconded by Mister Martin; the presiding officer announced the ordinance passed after a roll call.
Council then considered an amendment establishing wages for department heads and other non-certified employees (referred to as Order 38024 amendment / Order No. 12026). Council voted to suspend the rule requiring three readings (motion by Mister Roberts, second by Mister Martin). One member was recorded as abstaining during the suspension roll call; the motion to suspend passed and the ordinance was adopted as an emergency measure.
Separately the council passed ordinance number 1 2026, described in the meeting as a periodic housekeeping measure that adds a necessary buffer to avoid caps on certain percentage calculations.
On transportation matters the council approved Resolution 4 2026 authorizing the mayor to enter an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation for the South Campbell Street and West Tucker Avenue traffic-signal project. Meeting remarks described the overall project cost as $609,000 and stated the city's portion during the discussion as "$135.03" in the transcript; the amount as recorded in the meeting appears incomplete and should be verified with the city or ODOT for accuracy.
The council also approved Resolution 5 2026, giving consent or authorization to the state to complete chip-seal work within the city (the motion text refers to the state of Ohio and a transportation director; the transcript includes the word 'Shelbyville' in motion text but the council is the Shelby City Council). The motion for Resolution 5 2026 was made by Mister Roberts and seconded by Mister Martin and was recorded as passed.
Near the end of the meeting Mister Martin moved, with Mister Roberts seconding, to enter executive session to consider the compensation of public employees unless the employees request a public hearing; roll-call results for that motion were not captured within the provided transcript segment.
