Crystal Bay Township Meeting March 10: Residents Use Clair Nelson Intermodal Center

A legal notice published by the North Shore Journal on March 4, 2026 advises residents of Crystal Bay Township (Lake County) that the township’s Annual Town Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The notice is described as the official local announcement of the meet.

Prior-year notices and township web pages identify the meeting site as the Clair Nelson facility at 6866 Cramer Rd, Finland, MN 55603, alternately labeled in source documents as the Clair Nelson Intermodal Transportation Center and the Clair Nelson Community Center. The 2021, 2023 and 2024 annual-meeting postings each list that same address, with the 2021 and 2023 notices explicitly naming the Clair Nelson Intermodal Transportation Center and the 2024 notice using Clair Nelson Community Center.

The March 10 start time recorded in the March 4 legal notice differs from earlier practice: the 2021 Annual Town Meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, March 8, 2021, at 7:00pm; the 2023 Annual Town Meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at 7:00pm; and the 2024 meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, March 12, 2024, at 7:00pm. The source materials show the change in published start time for 2026 from 7:00pm in prior years to 6:00 p.m. in the March 4 notice; the sources do not provide an explanation for the difference.

Online participation was offered in the past: the 2021 Annual Meeting notice included Zoom login credentials, “Meeting ID: 897 5233 6100 Passcode: 827537,” and township pages display the instruction, “Scan with phone to join Meeting via Zoom.” The March 4, 2026 legal notice text provided in the materials is truncated and does not explicitly state whether a Zoom option will be available for the March 10 meeting.

Residents with questions or agenda requests can reach the town clerk at crystalbaytownship@gmail.com or by phone at 218-353-1236. The township website previously advised, “Please contact the Clerk to add an item to the prepared Agenda.” Downloadable files listed on township pages include 2023 Draft AgendaDownload, 2022-annual-meeting-minutesDownload, 2021 Annual Meeting MinutesDownload, 2023-voter-survey-resultsDownload and roadtournotice24Download.

The 2023 voting survey results posted on the township site draw three explicit conclusions: “Conclusion: Stay as mail in ballot Township Board Discretion to host a Registration Day and Shuttle Service Note: To vote same day: Vote at Two Harbors Court House during voting hours.” Those lines summarize the township’s recorded approach to voting logistics and remain part of the public record linked from township notices.

The North Shore Journal legal notice serves as the current official local announcement; residents who intend to attend the March 10 meeting should note the 6:00 p.m. start time and the Clair Nelson address at 6866 Cramer Rd, Finland, and may contact the clerk at crystalbaytownship@gmail.com or 218-353-1236 for confirmation, agenda additions and questions about remote access.
