The 30-second brief
9 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in City of Shell Lake's meetings, most in public safety and transportation. The latest, from Oct 12: At the October 12, 2026 meeting, Public Works said it would perform boring samples on South Lake Drive between Peeper's Pond and Rolph's Point. The goal is to see whether the section can be added to the 2027 road projects, and the council also discussed extending consideration to the first section of Rolph's Point up to Rolph's Point Spur. This is early-stage road planning before any construction decision. The next step is the boring work and follow-up review.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Public Safety and Public Works.
