Mayor Pro-tem Pat Honeywell presided over the Shelby City Council’s regular session on Dec. 16, 2025.
The council unanimously approved a $14,500 bid from Brockhoff Septic and Water to install storm sewer by the park. Councilmember Jackie Hursey moved to accept the bid; Councilmember Todd Frank seconded the motion and the roll-call vote was recorded as all ayes (Traci True, Pat Honeywell, Todd Frank, Jackie Hursey and Karen Schlueter).
A separate motion by Councilmember Jackie Hursey to accept a Brockhoff bid of $1,250 for a snow plow failed for lack of a second; no roll-call vote was recorded on that motion.

On a motion by Councilmember Todd Frank, seconded by Councilmember Karen Schlueter, the council approved a $15-per-month longevity pay increase for City Clerk Chris Martin for 20 years of service. The council made the adjustment retroactive; Martin will receive a $360 check covering 2024 and 2025. The motion carried on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The council tabled a housing application submitted by Spencer Petersen until the next meeting on Jan. 6, 2026, following a motion by Councilmember Todd Frank and a second from Councilmember Jackie Hursey.
The PCC contract for the Ambulance Billing Program was approved (motion recorded by Councilmember Todd Frank; roll call all ayes). The transcript records the contract’s approval but does not include contract terms or financial details.
