Shelton trustees adopt Ordinance No. 877, assign new Walsh Add address and approve TextMyGov notification system
Summary
At their Oct. 9 meeting, the Shelton Village Board approved Ordinance No. 877 (final passage), reassigned addresses for two Walsh Addition lots to 508 E. Ayres, authorized a TextMyGov citizen-notification partnership, approved claims and postponed review of zoning procedures and the updated fee schedule to November.
The Village of Shelton Board of Trustees met Oct. 9, 2025, and approved several routine and administrative items, including final passage of Ordinance No. 877, a new street address assignment in the Walsh Addition and a memorandum of agreement to implement a TextMyGov citizen-notification system.
Chairman William C. Roe called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. in the community room of the Shelton Municipal Building. After the clerk called roll, the board approved the consent agenda — including the Sept. 11, 2025 minutes and the financial report — on a motion by Trustee Oberg, seconded by Trustee Rabbe; the vote was recorded in the minutes as AYES: Roe, Oberg and Rabbe.
Address assignment: The board voted unanimously to reassign the address for lots 14 and 15 and one-half of the alley abutting in Walsh Addition from 517 E. Second Street to 508 E. Ayres. Village Clerk Bonnie Doremus explained that the north half of the original parcel gained access only from E. Ayres after it was split, and county offices (deeds, assessor and election commissioner) require the village to certify such changes. Trustee Oberg moved and Trustee Rabbe seconded; the minutes record the vote as AYES: Roe, Oberg, Rabbe, Jensen and Keslar.
Ordinance No. 877 and staffing: The board considered Ordinance No. 877 in connection with adding a fourth full-time maintenance worker. Trustees moved to preserve and enter the ordinance record, then voted to suspend the statutory rules to allow introduction, second and final readings in the same meeting. After the reading by title, the ordinance was approved on final passage by roll call (AYES: Rabbe, Oberg, Keslar, Jensen and Roe). The board also voted to publish Ordinance No. 877 in pamphlet form.
TextMyGov resolution: The board approved Resolution No. 25-10-09B, authorizing a partner agreement with TextMyGov of Logan, Utah, for a citizen notification system and authorizing the chairman and village clerk to execute documents necessary to implement the agreement. Trustee Rabbe moved the resolution; Trustee Keslar seconded. The motion carried with all members voting AYE.
Other business: The board postponed action on proposed updates to the village fee schedule and agreed to defer any decision on zoning regulation procedures until the November meeting so the current zoning officer can review proposed procedures. Police Chief Clark and Utility Superintendent Gillming reported that options for security cameras at the park, pool and disposal site are under investigation and no contract was approved at the meeting. Utility Superintendent Gillming also reported a small additional charge for unforeseen work on the post office parking project; the minutes note the extra work but do not record a purchase approval.
Claims and adjournment: Trustees approved payment of presented claims on a motion by Trustee Keslar, seconded by Trustee Oberg. With all business concluded, the board adjourned at approximately 7:35 p.m.
Procedural notes and certification: Village Clerk Bonnie Doremus certified the minutes on Oct. 10, 2025 and documented that public notice was published Oct. 2, 2025 in the Shelton Clipper and posted Oct. 3, 2025 at five public locations (Village Office, Cornerstone Bank, Shelton Clipper, Post Office and Larry's Market). The minutes also note that Tyler Hillmer of Miller & Associates provided an emailed update on library ADA projects dated 10/3; the minutes list the year as '2035', a typographical error in the record that appears to refer to Oct. 3, 2025.
