When the Sturgeon Bay Common Council meets Tuesday night, the agenda will include a proposed purchase of property to help with water runoff on the east side.  The city is looking to purchase a lot (.62 acres) on 3.8 acres of land owned by Tom Kriedeman of BOC Partnership, LLP, between North 4th and North 5th Avenues to the south of Alabama Street.  The area would be used to detain and manage stormwater from the overall drainage area if acquired. The Finance/Purchasing and Building Committee recommends accepting a proposal of $18,500 to buy the parcel of land that grants a 35-foot right-of-way for Alabama Street and restricts Kriedeman from dividing the remaining four lots.

The Council will also take up the Municipal Code, addressing the allowable amount of “transfer of funds” by the city as a reallocation that does not impact the annual budget number. 

The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall in Council Chambers.
