Shelby council approves emergency road-salt contract, advances water-rate ordinance and authorizes ORDC to apply for CHIP funds
Summary
Council passed Resolution 11-2026 to participate in 2026 ODOT road-salt contracts and declared an emergency, moved Ordinance 52026 to a second reading, and authorized Resolution 12-2026 for ORDC to administer and submit a 2026 CHIP housing application on Shelby's behalf.
The Shelby City Council considered and acted on several legislative items, including a vote to participate in 2026 ODOT road-salt contracts, an ordinance amending municipal water rules and rates, and authorization to pursue a CHIP housing grant application through the Ohio Regional Development Corporation (ORDC).
Council took up Ordinance No. 52026, an amendment to Chapter 10.40 (water rules, regulations and fixed charges) and related sections. A motion to pass Ordinance 52026 to a second reading was moved and seconded; after roll call the ordinance was advanced to a second reading (no final adoption recorded in the provided transcript).
Resolution No. 11-2026 would authorize the mayor, as director of public service, to participate in ODOT’s 2026 road-salt contracts and declared the matter an emergency. Council discussed contract volumes and winter-treatment approaches; a public-works speaker said the city "has been doing 800 tons with ODOT, 800 tons with [the] county," and staff explained that a previously trialed calcium-chloride (brine) spray was tried but not effective due to maintenance and application challenges. After roll call the resolution passed; roll-call responses in the transcript are recorded as affirmative for members present.
Resolution No. 12-2026 authorizes the mayor and director of public service to enter into a contract with Ohio Regional Development Corporation (ORDC) for administration of the 2026 Community Housing Impact and Preservation (CHIP) program and authorizes ORDC to submit the city's CHIP application. A council member noted the city will combine with the county for a joint application and that an RFP process is used roughly every other year. The motion for Resolution 12-2026 was moved, seconded and carried.
