Shelby County United Fund For You (SCUFFY) is currently engaged in its annual fundraising drive.

To assist with the fundraising effort, Alecia Gross, Executive Director of SCUFFY, appeared before the Board of Works Tuesday morning at City Hall in downtown Shelbyville to ask permission to set up two collection sites on May 1.

The first location will be at the intersection of Colescott St. and S. Harrison St. in front of Mickey’s T-Mart, 748 S. Harrison St.

The second location will be at Progress Parkway and Lee Boulevard at Walmart, 2500 Progress Parkway.

Fundraising collection stations will operate from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 1.

The Board of Works approved the request.

Police chief Mark Weidner appeared before the board to present paperwork on the retirement of Joe Nolley from the police department after 20 years of service.

Nolley’s final day of employment was April 7. Mayor Tom DeBaun noted this was the third generation of Nolleys to retire from the police department.

City planning director Adam Rude brought five nuisance cases before the board and asked for orders to appear to be approved.

With “heavy trash” collection running the week of April 26, Rude agreed for the orders to appear be set for 30 days and the department would work with the residential owners to get their properties cleaned up.

The five properties in question are at 628 Shelby St., 236 E. Broadway, 1043 Meridian, 1047 Meridian, and 1417 S. Harrison St.
