Shelby council approves EMT weekend pay, backs economic development steps and a small-business aid
Summary
At its April 4 meeting the Shelby City Council approved $250 weekend on-call pay for EMTs, authorized work on economic-development incentives for the industrial site, approved a small-business economic-development application for 514 East Street and adopted Resolution 04-23 renaming the industrial site.
The Shelby City Council on April 4 approved a package of routine motions that included $250 weekend on-call pay for local emergency medical technicians, authorization to pursue economic-development incentives for the industrial site, and approval of a small-business economic development application for a property at 514 East Street.
Council member Pat Honeywell moved and Jackie Hursey seconded the motion to authorize weekend on-call pay for EMTs in the amount of $250; the minutes state the motion carried by roll call (recorded as "All ayes") and that guidelines for on-call pay will be provided. Council member Karen Schlueter stated earlier in the meeting that she would recuse herself from the EMT weekend-pay vote; the meeting record nonetheless lists the roll call as all ayes.
The council also voted to move forward on working on incentives for economic development at the industrial site. That motion, made by Council member Pat Honeywell and seconded by Council member Karen Schlueter, was recorded as carried by roll call.
In a separate action, the council approved a Small Business Economic Development application for Cory Williams at 514 East Street. The motion was made by Council member Karen Schlueter and seconded by Council member Chris Evans; the minutes record the roll call as Honeywell—Yes, Hursey—Yes, Kiesel—No, Schlueter—Yes, and state the motion carried.
The council also adopted Resolution 04-23, "approving changing name back to City for Industrial Site," following a motion by Council member Karen Schlueter, seconded by Pat Honeywell; the roll call is recorded in the minutes as all ayes.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. and was recorded as adjourned at 8:40 p.m. The minutes list the following people as present at roll call: Chris Evans, Jackie Hursey, Karen Schlueter and Pat Honeywell; Rick Kiesel is listed as absent. Others present included Chad Gordon, Marlene Seitz, James Kaiser (identified in the record as "with Heartland Properties"), Clint Fichter and Deputy Hoss. City Clerk Chris Martin signed the minutes alongside Mayor Ron Kroll.
The meeting minutes contain a few inconsistencies that the council or clerk may wish to clarify in the official record: the roll-call listing shows Rick Kiesel as absent while a later vote record on the small-business application lists Kiesel as voting 'No'; the minutes record Council member Schlueter saying she would recuse from the EMT weekend-pay vote while the roll call is recorded as "All ayes;" and the approval of the agenda in the minutes references "March 07, 2022," although the meeting is dated April 4, 2023. The minutes reflect those entries as written; the council did not provide further on-record clarification during the session.
