Lake Shore: Area organizations' funding requests granted



The Lake Shore City Council donated funds to area organizations Monday.

The council agreed to give $1,000 to the Cass County Economic Development Authority, $150 to a Nisswa Elementary School fundraiser and $50 to the Cass County Historical Society.

The council also agreed to provide $150 to other area school districts for educational opportunities, if such funds are requested.

The Nisswa School donation is in response to a request to help fund the fourth annual Bloom Fool's Auction April 4 at Grand View Lodge to raise money for educational opportunities at the school.

Public safety

Police recorded 124 incidents from Jan. 1 to Feb. 22, including 59 traffic-related incidents and 65 miscellaneous incidents.

Traffic incidents included 18 miscellaneous traffic warnings, 10 speed warnings, six speed citations, six vehicles in the ditch, five property damage crashes, four motorist assists, three driving complaints and one DWI arrest.

Miscellaneous calls included 12 public assists, eight disturbance complaints, four suspicious activity, three alarms, two theft complaints, two property damage complaints, one snowmobile injury crash, one snowmobile through the ice and one underage alcohol consumption.

Lake Shore police assisted Nisswa 10 times, Cass County six times and Pequot Lakes once.

In other business Monday, the council:

  • Established a cartway on an existing road so Eveline Douglas can access her landlocked property via the driveway through David Neighbor's property. Both property owners now must negotiate how much Douglas will have to pay Neighbors in damages.

    Mayor John Terwilliger voted against this cartway option, speaking for another option that would include building another driveway as far south as possible from the existing driveway.

  • Learned the board of review will meet at 10 a.m. May 1 at city hall.
