Olive Branch to pay roughly $900,009.47 toward Stateline Road overlay under multi‑jurisdictional agreement
Summary
The Board approved participation in a Stateline Road overlay and improvement project led by Shelby County; the city will fund its share (recorded in the meeting as $900,009.47) while Shelby County will lead contracting and paving.
The Olive Branch Board of Aldermen approved participation in a multi‑jurisdictional Stateline Road overlay and improvement project that Shelby County will lead.
Mayor Ademann described the arrangement as a multi‑party agreement in which Shelby County will be the lead agency to procure the paving contract and perform the work, while Olive Branch will fund its portion. The mayor said the arrangement allows the city to take advantage of competitive bids Shelby County obtained.
At the meeting a numeric city share was given: the mayor said, “This is a $50.50 split with Olive Branch paying $900,009.47.” A representative in the discussion affirmed that figure as accurate and described high‑level cooperation with Shelby County and DeSoto County on the project.
The board moved and voted to approve the city's participation and funding commitment; the recorded words show affirmative votes and the motion carried. The city’s role is limited to funding its share while Shelby County will administer the contract and construction.
Next steps include county contract award and coordination between the city and Shelby County for funding transfers and project oversight.
