CITY OF SHELBY SIDEWALK PROGRAM 2010
WHAT IS THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM?
Voters in the City of Shelby passed an income tax in May of 2006. Parts of the funds collected by the tax are earmarked for sidewalk repair. Shelby City Council passed Resolution # 12-2010 on April 5, 2010 which established the criteria for the program. Residents must fill out an application with the City to participate in the program. Costs of replacing sidewalks will be shared based upon the following schedule:

WHO IS ELGIBLE FOR THE PROGRAM?
Residential properties only are eligible for this program. Rental properties in which the owner resides are eligible; however, costs sharing by the City will be prorated to that fraction representing the owner-occupied dwelling divided by the number of dwellings on that particular property. For example, with an owner-occupied duplex, half the total cost will be borne by the owner, while the other half will be shared by the owner and the City based upon income eligibility standards shown above. New sidewalk construction is not allowed.
WHEN WILL APPLICATIONS BE ACCEPTED?
Applications are now being accepted and can be turned in or mailed to Shelby City Hall, 43 West Main Street, Shelby, OH 44875.

AM I GUARANTEED TO GET INTO THE PROGRAM?
This is the third year of a 5 year program and there are limited funds. When all applications are received, the city administration will rank the sidewalks based on their condition. A project will be determined based upon the amount of money in the sidewalk fund. Applications of residents who are not in this year’s program, will be saved for priority in next year’s program.
