Shelby council moves to amend tree-planting rules, approves bids and fund transfers
Summary
The Shelby City Council agreed to move forward with amending its tree-planting ordinance in public rights-of-way and approved several procurement bids, a resolution authorizing fund transfers and a conditional hire for the fire department during its July 16 special session.
The Shelby City Council voted July 16 to begin amending its ordinance on tree planting in parking areas and public rights-of-way and approved several municipal purchases and transfers.
Council member Todd Frank moved to proceed with the tree-planting ordinance amendment; Council member Traci True seconded the motion. The council recorded a 3–1 vote: Pat Honeywell opposed, and Karen Schlueter (participating by phone) joined Frank and True in supporting the motion. The Council instructed city staff and legal counsel to draft the proposed ordinance language for a future meeting and public process.
The Council approved the purchase of a new locater and geographic information software from Subsurface Solutions for $14,824.00 on a motion by Frank and a second from Honeywell; the roll call was recorded as all ayes. It also accepted a $13,180.00 bid from Quality Control to bore under the highway for a power connection to a new housing addition, on a motion by Honeywell seconded by Frank (roll call: all ayes).
On a separate motion by Pat Honeywell and seconded by Todd Frank, the Council adopted Resolution 7-16-24, which approves various fund transfers; roll call recorded Honeywell—yes, Frank—yes and True—yes, and the motion carried. The transcript does not specify amounts or line items for those transfers.
The Council approved the application of Wyatt Evans to the Shelby Fire Department, pending a drug screening and background check, on a motion by Honeywell and seconded by True; roll call was all ayes. Council members also approved the July 16, 2024 claims list by roll call (all ayes).
Council members discussed outstanding tree-service bids and agreed to leave the solicitation open until the next meeting to allow more bids to be submitted. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.
