The Shelby County Committee Meeting on April 30, 2025, focused on two significant resolutions concerning local infrastructure improvements and funding allocations.

The first item discussed was a resolution to accept public improvements and release a performance bond for the Cordova Ridge Planned Development. This project, which includes 51 lots, received a favorable recommendation from the committee after a motion by Commissioner Sugarman and a second by Commissioner Morrison. The resolution was approved with five affirmative votes from commissioners present.

The second item on the agenda involved a resolution to approve a contract with Abe's Contracting LLC for a Sewer Rehabilitation Project funded by the American Rescue Plan. The total contract amount is $1,316,000, which includes an extra work allowance. Chris Mason from Shelby County Engineering provided details about the project, noting that a 15% match was calculated based on the ability to pay index, but local funds had already covered a significant portion of the design and management services, negating the need for additional matching funds. The contractor is recognized as a minority business enterprise and a locally owned small business, which aligns with the county's commitment to supporting local and diverse businesses.

The committee moved forward with both resolutions, emphasizing the importance of infrastructure development and community support in Shelby County. Further discussions and questions from commissioners are expected as the projects progress.
