The Shelby City Council on Oct. 15 approved multiple consent items and directed staff to clarify city code language on curb stops.
Council members voted unanimously to approve the meeting agenda and then approved a proposal from Shriver Marketing & Designs for social media management at $500 per month and email marketing at $300 per month after a motion by Council member Pat Honeywell and a second from Council member Karen Schlueter. The roll call for the motion was recorded as all ayes and the motion carried.
The council also approved the 2025 Wellmark health insurance renewal on a motion by Council member Jackie Hursey, seconded by Honeywell; that motion likewise passed on a unanimous roll call. Later, on a motion by Honeywell and seconded by Todd Frank, members approved a new Sidewalk and Driveway Program. The Oct. 17 claims report was approved on a motion by Honeywell and seconded by Schlueter, again on an all-ayes roll call.
During discussion, the council identified ambiguous wording in the curb-stop ordinance regarding whether the city or a property owner owns and maintains the curb stop. City staff member Clint Fichter was directed to rewrite the ordinance language and bring a revised draft back to the council for consideration.
Council member Karen Schlueter also shared a flyer about Hometown Pride, a program intended to support economic development in small Iowa communities; Schlueter said she will gather more information for the council.
The meeting convened at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
