The Sturgeon Bay Common Council approved the purchase of maintenance equipment, floating docks, and a small piece of property for a stormwater detention area.
The purchase of zero-turn mower with attachments for $12,780 was unanimously approved in consent agenda items by the council, as well as a recommendation to direct $50,000 of the $100,000 from TID 10 for park improvements at the Sawyer School playground project.
A budget line transfer of $4400 was approved to purchase new floating docks from Pier and Waterfront Solutions for $84,400. Municipal Services Director Mike Barker announced that the city received a $40,000 grant from the Door County Community Foundation for the floating dock project.
A closed session was not held, as the council was able to openly discuss and ultimately unanimously approve the proposal to purchase a .62 acre area of land near Alabama Street from BOC Partnership, LLP. The accepted price was $18,500 with the restriction of the parcel to have no more than four lots and allowing for 35-feet of right-of-way for Alabama Street.
City Administrator Josh VanLieshout and Mayor David Ward concluded the 30-minute meeting by praising Barker and his crews on clearing the streets and removing the snow piles after the major storm last week.
