Shell Lake council raises ATV/UTV speed limit to 30 mph on three lake drives
Summary
The Shell Lake City Council on Jan. 13 unanimously approved an ordinance amendment allowing ATV/UTV operation at up to 30 mph on North Lake Drive, South Lake Drive and East Lake Drive; the vote followed routine department reports and no public comments.
Mayor Rowie Hansberger and the Shell Lake City Council unanimously approved an ordinance amendment on Jan. 13 allowing all-terrain and utility task vehicle operation up to 30 miles per hour on North Lake Drive, South Lake Drive and East Lake Drive. Council member Ken Schultz moved the ordinance amendment and Mike Andrews seconded; the motion carried with no recorded opposition.
The change was approved during the General Administration portion of the meeting alongside routine department reports. Public Works Director Mitch Brown presented his monthly report; during that update Schultz asked about the city’s snowblower and a recently purchased dump trailer. Chief of Police Mike Jasczcak gave an overview of 2024 and highlighted officers Greisen and Kapanke for notable work.
Why it matters: the ordinance formally adjusts the allowed speed for recreational and utility vehicles on three residential lake drives, creating a clear regulatory maximum for operators and for local enforcement. The ordinance text and an effective date were not specified in the meeting record.
The council also conducted standard financial business and adjourned at 7:52 p.m.
