Shell Lake council approves grant resolution for shoreline native plantings
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting the Shell Lake City Council unanimously approved Resolution #6-2024 to pursue a grant for the “Shell Lake Shoreland Native Plantings” project and handled routine business including voucher approvals and department reports.
The Shell Lake City Council on Dec. 9 unanimously approved Resolution #6-2024, a grant project resolution to pursue funding for the “Shell Lake Shoreland Native Plantings” restoration effort. Council member Stephen Smith moved the resolution and Rob Anderson seconded; the motion carried without recorded opposition.
The resolution authorizes pursuit of grant funding and participation in a shoreline native-planting project described in the resolution as “Shell Lake Shoreland Native Plantings.” The meeting minutes do not specify the grant source, funding amount or implementation timeline.
The action was one of several routine votes at the meeting. Earlier, the council approved minutes from Nov. 12 and Dec. 5 after Ken Schultz moved and Rob Anderson seconded the motion. The council also approved vouchers numbered 1445–1567 on a motion by Stephen Smith, seconded by Ken Schultz.
Chief of Police Mike Jaszczak provided the council with an overview of events that took place at the local school earlier that afternoon; the minutes record council members’ and attendees’ appreciation for the response, but provide no further operational details.
Mayor Rowie Hansberger used the meeting to make several community announcements: she said Tom Rasmussen will run for the Ward 2 seat identified in the minutes as vacant following the retirement of Deb Nebel, reminded residents of a potluck at City Hall on Dec. 18 at noon, and announced a “Shell Lake Winter Fest” scheduled for Feb. 15, for which volunteers will be sought. The minutes also note Mayor Hansberger recited a holiday-themed rendition of “Twas the Night Before Christmas.”
The minutes contain an apparent inconsistency: Deb Nebel is listed among council members present at the start of the meeting, while the mayor later is recorded as saying the Ward 2 seat is vacant after Nebel’s retirement. The council minutes do not resolve that discrepancy.
The meeting adjourned at 7:38 p.m. on a motion by Mike Andrews, seconded by Terry Severson.
Votes at a glance: the minutes record unanimous approval for the minutes (Nov. 12 and Dec. 5), approval of vouchers 1445–1567, and approval of Resolution #6-2024; specific vote tallies or individual yes/no votes were not provided in the minutes.
