Shelby Council OKs up to $772,000 for Mickey Road reconstruction

The Shelby City Council on Feb. 2, 2026 approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter an amendment with the State of Ohio Department of Transportation to secure up to $772,000 for the Mickey Road reconstruction project.

Council discussion focused on the resolution language and a minor clerical change. A council member noted the funding amount in the title and asked for a typographical edit; the council removed a comma following 'not to exceed' and corrected spacing in the section text by unanimous consent.

Councilman Martin moved for passage, with a second recorded in the record. The resolution was discussed briefly with staff and then advanced without substantive change. A council member who had worked with engineering and public-service staff earlier in the day was mentioned as having been consulted on the sidewalk component tied to the project.

The resolution authorizes the mayor, as director of public service, to enter the agreement amendment with the State of Ohio Department of Transportation to accept federal/local program funds for project costs not to exceed $772,000. The measure was approved by the council during the meeting.

Next steps include execution of the agreement amendment and coordination between city public‑service staff and the Ohio Department of Transportation on project scheduling and use of the funds.
