Meetings

The Library Board is scheduled to vote on its 2026/27 leadership slate, with the rest of the agenda mostly routine reports. If you care about how the board sets priorities and runs meetings, this is the one item that actually changes anything.

Two Rivers’ Plan Commission signed off on four site plans—two apartment buildings on Forest Ave, a new Renee’s Popcorn facility, a Lakeshore Humane Society relocation, and a Vietnam Park baseball diamond rebuild. They also hit pause on a downtown/waterfront setback rule change after saying the draft language was unclear.

Two Rivers council approved a 3% raise for the city manager on a split vote after a closed session, and also signed off on new fees and spending tied to sidewalks, utilities, and downtown/tourism-facing projects. The meeting also included a low-drama public hearing to tighten rules on contractor signs, with no one speaking.

Two Rivers’ Public Utilities Committee got a blunt look at spring shutoffs: 948 utility accounts are past due, with disconnections scheduled to start April 15. The committee also flagged a looming equipment decision after the sewer camera failed again, with repair or replacement costs now in the $8,000–$24,000 range.

The Committee on Aging got a broad update on major city planning and parks projects, including the Hamilton “visioning” work and what’s next at Neshotah Park. Most of the meeting was informational, with no policy votes beyond routine approval of prior minutes.

The Public Works Committee approved a 2026 pilot deal with Safe Step LLC to expand sidewalk inspections and lower-cost repairs. It also cut a private snow-removal bill in half for a Mishicot Road business and flagged that the city’s sidewalk-repair rules may need a rewrite.

Two Rivers councilmembers advanced a three-year harbor project “intentions” plan to keep the City eligible for state harbor money, and spent most of the night wrestling with how (and whether) to police council behavior through a rewritten Code of Conduct.
