Summary

The Shell Lake City Council on Feb. 10 approved two separate agreements with the Northwest Regional Planning Commission (NRPC): one to administer the city’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Housing Rehabilitation Program for calendar years 2025–2027, and a second to assist the city in updating its comprehensive plan.
Ken Schultz moved, seconded by Mike Andrews, to approve the NRPC agreement to administer the CDBG Housing Rehabilitation Program; the motion carried unanimously after Andy Eiche described the program. The council then voted to approve an NRPC agreement to assist in updating the City of Shell Lake Comprehensive Plan. Council member Dan Harrington argued the need for a comprehensive plan during the discussion; Andy Eiche said the update was a requirement. Roll call recorded five yes votes and one no (Harrington), and the motion carried.
The transcript does not include details on the scope, timeline, or cost of either agreement beyond the council’s approval and Eiche’s statement that the comprehensive plan update is required. The council recorded its votes during the motion to approve the comprehensive plan assistance agreement.
