Shell Lake council refers handicap‑parking and squad‑car purchases back to Public Works committee
Summary
Following a Public Works report, the council referred a proposed handicap parking location on Main Street and a potential squad‑car purchase back to the Public Works committee for further review; staff noted occasional days without lifeguards due to availability or illness.
Public Works Director Mitch Brown told the council he had met with Fahrner to review potential handicap parking on Main Street; while the spot in front of Hearts of Gold seemed acceptable, another proposed spot near an ATM entrance was judged unsuitable. The council voted to send the matter back to the Public Works committee for further consideration.
Schultz also moved to send the question of purchasing a new squad car back to the Public Works committee for additional review. The minutes record no final decision on funding or timing. Brown also reported the new park custodian, Andrea Miller, was doing an "excellent job," and council member Tom Rasmussen noted there had been several days with no lifeguards on duty; Andy Eiche explained such gaps can happen because of staff availability and illness.
