The Shelby City Council approved an amendment to the Purchase Agreement permitting contractors to access and grade the MK Purple Martin, LLC industrial site before the property’s formal closing during a special session June 26.
The amendment — described by the mayor and council as necessary to allow on-site grading and contractor work ahead of final closing on a previously approved purchase agreement (originally approved Jan. 13, 2026) — was adopted on a motion by Councilmember Todd Frank, seconded by Councilmember Karen Schlueter. In the roll call vote, Frank, Schlueter, Pat Honeywell and Jackie Hursey voted yes; Traci True voted no. The motion carried 4–1.
The transcript records that the council and mayor characterized the change as required to permit contractors on the industrial site prior to closing; the record does not specify additional terms of the amendment, the timing of contractor access, or any related escrow or insurance conditions.
