The council reappointed five members to the Beer Board for one-year terms: Bridal Fisher, Joy Lamatina, Mark Ciccone, Roy Turner and Calvin Cannon. The council also ratified the mayoral appointment of Mister Kennedy to the Airport Authority for a five-year term and reappointed Mark McGee and Jennifer Templeton to three-year terms on the Library Board.

In business added to the agenda, the council voted to appoint one council member to the building task force (public safety building) and one council member to the senior citizens center building committee. Council members Lauren Noel and Mister Blevins volunteered for those assignments during the meeting.

Why it matters: Board appointments and council committee representatives determine who will make licensing, airport, library and building-facility recommendations and oversee ongoing work. The Airport Authority appointment is a five-year term; Beer Board terms are one year.

Details: The beer-board reappointments were approved by motion and unanimous voice vote. The Airport Authority appointment was ratified after the mayor presented Mister Kennedy and the council voted to confirm. The library reappointments were similarly ratified by motion and second. The two council volunteers for the building-related committees were accepted during a separately added business item.

Discussion vs. decision: The actions were formal ratifications and approvals.

Collins also reported that demolition work began last week on the Bacon Dairy Street project, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)–funded initiative. He said the project is moving forward in construction.

On economic development, Collins said the city had received two responses to a retail recruitment RFQ: Retail Coach and Retail Strategist. He said a review committee will meet in August to evaluate the proposals and that the firms offer retail recruitment services to help attract businesses to Shelbyville.

Why it matters: The soccer fields project and the Bacon Dairy CDBG project involve public land use and city capital or federal block-grant funds and will affect parks, neighborhoods and local contractors. The retail recruitment RFQ process could shape the city’s approach to attracting commercial investment.

Discussion vs. decision: The manager’s report was informational; the council did not take action to change the projects’ scopes during the meeting. Council members acknowledged the reports but did not ask for detailed amendments at this session.

Details: Collins described the soccer-fields timeline as “less than a two year project” but said weather and other factors could extend the schedule. He identified demolition as having started on the Bacon Dairy Street CDBG project the previous week and confirmed that all council members and staff had received copies of project materials and RFQ responses for review.","City Manager Scott Collins reported the soccer field project has entered design and environmental review, demolition has started on the Bacon Dairy CDBG project, and the city received two retail recruitment proposals that a review committee will consider in August.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":42,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6174574,"Shelbyville approves tourism grants for summer and Mule Day events",2152000,2238000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff&start=2152&end=2238","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff/thumbnail_2152000.jpg","/articles/6174574/Tennessee/Shelbyville-approves-tourism-grants-for-summer-and-Mule-Day-events","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174574-0ab68b3180e02eeaa57ff9854abe0e72/orig.mp4?Expires=1771041855&Signature=KQJDJU~ALS65HBUsIuTudiLoisdwb3BCeUlk1mFEx5A3ejLl1Rz2QfC357JntJaTLFwvDNKRV72Mlbno3mt~XzrUOJvOBDItoc4-8HuYdG~l-mRoQKJ0Vg-oF6UJHrTOXxVsHkPKV1m-qJ1LaalJWt~ArFIgnKeZSYWUxWOx-UONKgrVL0baSXudhzGogRiqemdMt3Usb7pjfeR~7kkXnE8P4O2uSI0r6qTUA9pvnc0iKKBW7rDpFPTqQfymE~LCeobmssAG7YkIGd4x1KSNUi0-UnU0sg5C-f-5BDC8l8gxCx~UFci55Clq~acPffkOv~5LGOp9TlrdcXTMgoizcw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville City Council approved two local tourism grants to support community events, authorizing funding from the fiscal-year-2026 hotel/motel budget allocated for tourism.

Council approved a $3,000 grant to Calvin Cannon to support a July 2025 summer event described in the agenda as a “southern summer” event. The council also approved a $5,000 grant to Marty Gordon for the annual Mule Day Festival in September 2025 to be held at the city’s celebration grounds.

Council members said the awards are based on anticipated “heads on beds” — an estimate of how many hotel nights an event will generate — and the expected visitor impact. One council member clarified that the Mule Day Festival historically brings more visitors and hotel stays, which informed the larger award.

Why it matters: Hotel/motel–tax–funded tourism grants are intended to boost visitor spending and support events that attract out-of-town visitors. The council’s approvals commit budgeted tourism funds to the listed events; final disbursement will follow city finance procedures.

Details: Both grants were approved by motion, second and roll-call vote. The transcript records the grant amounts and event months; the council identified the funding source as the fiscal-year-2026 hotel/motel budget appropriated for tourism.

Discussion vs. decision: The meeting contained brief discussion about allocation rationale (estimated lodging impact) but no public opposition recorded. The council approved both grants during the business portion of the meeting.","The council authorized hotel/motel tax–funded grants: $3,000 to Calvin Cannon for a summer event in July 2025 and $5,000 to Marty Gordon for the annual Mule Day Festival in September 2025.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6174579,"Shelbyville adopts physical, environmental security policy and authorizes grant participations",57,1976000,2033000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff&start=1976&end=2033","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff/thumbnail_1976000.jpg","/articles/6174579/Tennessee/Shelbyville-adopts-physical-environmental-security-policy-and-authorizes-grant-participations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174579-693963fa8c3f3c8d1c0220980695f2b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771041855&Signature=LzzF~f7uuA4tzRH~H9y-QP2CgUjAmpiIVN5BtxtXJm~3gm6kRzEMCgH~81bVLQSJHBBTjnjdOhzSE3u53fDfZ~Otx9EpmVEW6MxxWNGFijwPcxs~sfeFmg7QbZ0REiQHWF2PwAcbPyuN7Rp6iE1Kj95yeBpqhXkQjRimnEq-mzfqvQao7LnSd4bMOOPmcOCNI2zY0SW2EKjXbYSPzhlBkayNxUFEX-cI9L9RCgt164Zt1hpigerP1E-QSFnskC7qzqqNj6kifL8cYdm4ubNSBxqcnTQJAjPj4RoYS-fnC5yCmQgZiPB5l5SsKoVPm-vWcEFwr5wb7jF65aNyXxC~0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville City Council adopted a physical and environmental security policy for the city and authorized participation in several related grant programs for fiscal year 2026, including cybersecurity and property-conservation funding streams.

City Attorney Ginger Schauffer read the resolution adopting the “Physical and Environmental Security Policy for the City of Shelbyville, Tennessee.” The council then moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll-call vote.

The resolution also authorizes the city to participate in multiple grant programs during fiscal year 2026. The meeting record lists participation in a cybersecurity grant and a property-conservation grant tied to local projects; the resolution text in the meeting also referenced a program name and local projects (text in the transcript lists several grant program names and a local roadway reference). The resolution notes that some grant programs include a local match or maximum local share, and the city manager indicated matching requirements depend on the specific grant and the city budget.

Why it matters: Adopting a standalone security policy formalizes citywide approaches to physical and environmental security for municipal facilities and operations, and agreeing to participate in grant programs lets the city seek outside funding for facilities and cybersecurity improvements. Funding each grant will be subject to the city’s budgeting process and any matching requirements.

Details: The resolution was described in the meeting as covering participation in multiple fiscal-year-2026 grant opportunities; transcript text indicates the grants are matching programs and references a maximum local share of $5,000 for some grants, with final amounts dependent on coverage and budget availability.

Discussion vs. decision: Council members did not engage in extended debate on the content of the policy during the meeting; the council voted to adopt the policy and to authorize participation in the listed grant programs. The city manager later explained that local match obligations vary by grant and will depend on the budget.","The council adopted a new physical and environmental security policy and authorized participation in several grant programs, including cybersecurity and property/grant programs noted in the resolution.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6174584,"Shelbyville council approves rezoning of two city-owned parcels for industrial use",215,1725000,1940000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff&start=1725&end=1940","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5369769-9e30212394c6c53776bd3bd0df08deff/thumbnail_1725000.jpg","/articles/6174584/Tennessee/Shelbyville-council-approves-rezoning-of-two-city-owned-parcels-for-industrial-use","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174584-804399f90462876859c779b96882d50e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771041855&Signature=I28u5VfyfZHMdKOe-iVIpf1bS3PX--gAqVMrFkiW9esE0lC4yFecjq~PDqVLpr5fU5m9uG53wRY6qS5Fk0S0VCrtkjfWCL3CT1mGQfEt9FfAaRLbKisZFTyVoBZlkLJA~x7Ej5-BnrOWNpUnI5G82ymgMyFHPl4flksgbBKOxucmp7-11GhkZRlL2QVgR1Kbpz5-g7~2f5ONslgUag86VHoGTfYZjL6NMGNcAekUiAM1C4wHgIuZAbMEvszp7ztku19-27s0EB4C708DW91U~1FoSS1-52oTIn5CYa~dyA4tYfsH9hrdsl7foWqTqmvTtzDq60V80~3KyFuxglOIqA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Shelbyville City Council voted to rezone two city-owned properties on first reading, changing one small parcel on Eagle Boulevard from C-2 (General Business) to I-2 (General Industrial) and a larger parcel north of State Route 2764 from C-2 to I-1 (Light Industrial).

The first ordinance covered approximately 0.33 acre at 218 Eagle Boulevard and the second covered about 30.35 acres referenced as Tax Map 59, Parcel 14. City Attorney Ginger Schauffer read the ordinance captions before the council took separate votes approving each zoning change, after the planning commission’s favorable recommendation.

The rezoning of the Eagle Boulevard parcel passed on a roll-call vote; the council later approved the larger parcel’s rezoning on a separate roll-call vote. Both ordinances were introduced and approved on first reading; the council did not debate detailed project plans during the meeting.

Why it matters: Rezoning city-owned property from commercial to industrial authorizes different future uses and may enable light- or general-industrial development on those sites. The planning commission’s favorable recommendation cleared the items for council action, but any future development will require site-level approvals and permits.

Details: Ginger Schauffer read the legal descriptions and exhibits for both ordinances into the record. The first item was described as a rezoning of “approximately 0.33 plus or minus acres owned by the City of Shelbyville, Tennessee Industrial Development Board” from C-2 to I-2. The second ordinance referenced “approximately 30.35 plus or minus acres owned by the City of Shelbyville, Tennessee” and a survey attached as Exhibit B, changing C-2 to I-1.

Discussion vs. decision: The transcript records no substantive public input or council debate about development plans tied to either parcel at the meeting; both rezonings moved forward by formal motion, second and roll-call votes. Any future development proposals on these parcels will be subject to additional approvals and procedures required under city zoning and permitting rules.

What’s next: These ordinances were approved on first reading. Further hearings, administrative reviews or site-specific permits could follow depending on proposals for development on the parcels.","The Shelbyville City Council voted to rezone two city-owned properties — a 0.33-acre parcel on Eagle Boulevard and a 30.35-acre site on North 2764 — from commercial to industrial zoning districts, a change recommended by the planning commission.","actionData","errors"]
