The first MARCS radios arrived in Shelby about three years ago.

Also, the Shelby City Health Department submitted a report by email and announced the upcoming cleanup days.

The special event is scheduled for June 8 (8 a.m.-5 p.m.), June 9 (8 a.m.-5 p.m.) to June 10 (8 a.m.-2 p.m.) through a Shelby drop-off site in the empty parking lot at the south end of High School Avenue near the fire department and police department.

The council also received word that Shelby Health received a grant for more than $11,000 for mosquito control and a separate workforce development grant.

The Ohio Department of Health workforce development grant is for $360,000, Mayor Steve Schag said later via email. The grant starts July 1 and concludes Nov. 30, 2027, he added.

In addition, Shelby’s

director of environmental health, Beth Conrad, informed the committee of her possible retirement between now and Jan. 3, 2024, Roberts said.

In other business at the full May 15 council meeting, members also held a second reading on legislation to all but eliminate the clerk of court’s pay through Ordinance No. 14-2023.

That ordinance seeks to amend Substitute Ordinance No. 1-2020 (establishing wages for department heads and other non-certified

employees) that listed the clerk of court’s maximum hourly wage and range at $33.

In an escalation of objections to Shelby Municipal Court’s financial practices, the legislative proposal before City Council would lower the court clerk’s annual salary to $1.

At the May 15 meeting, no comments were made on the legislation that had been formally introduced May 1. A third reading and a vote on the final passage could come as soon as the June 5 council meeting.
