Upon hearing resident Barry Brown’s speech during the city council meeting of March 23, 2026 we requested Mr. Brown to provide his documentation to SCA for a follow-up story.
Here’s what you need to know, in his words:
Long time Shorewood resident Greg Larson raises concerns about the significant amount of money Shorewood spends for engineering consultants.
This topic will be discussed at a council work session at 6:00 on Monday, Mar. 23, at Shorewood City Hall.
Based on Shorewood’s 2025 Long Range Financial Plan and 10 Year Capital Improvement Plan , over the next 6 years, the estimated charges from engineering firm Bolton & Menk are projected to total $7.5M.
Or, Shorewood could hire four internal staff engineers and save taxpayers $600k per year.
