The City of Sturgeon Bay’s Common Council met on Wednesday due to the 4th of July holiday and took care of business in less than one-half hour.

After unanimously approving the purchase of new traffic lights for the Maple and Madison Street intersection, the council approved the second reading for amending the municipal code regarding property maintenance and natural landscaping.

Then the Sturgeon Bay Common Council approved a zoning map amendment and the rezoning of land on 1605 Shiloh Road from agricultural to light industrial.  The action will allow Mueller Trucking and Repair to erect commercial storage buildings for existing outdoor materials.

The final piece of business Wednesday had the council unanimously approving the transfer of $14,570 to cover additional project costs for heating and insulating for the cold storage building.  The city needs additional space for equipment that has to be stored in a climate-controlled setting.
