A relatively light agenda scheduled for the Sturgeon Bay Common Council meeting Tuesday evening will include a recommendation to approve a bid for shoreline restoration on a west side park.  The council will be considering a recommendation from the Finance Purchasing & Building Committee to accept the bid of $112,755 from Payne & Dolan for shoring up Bay View Park.  Sturgeon Bay Administrator Josh Van Lieshout says a lot of recent erosion precipitated the city to make adjustments to the budget earlier this year.

Payne & Dolan’s sealed bid came in over $40,000 less than the other seven received when they were opened earlier this month.  Van Lieshout expects the contract to be approved and that the contractors will begin construction once the proper permits are obtained.  Also on the meeting’s agenda is a consideration for the refinancing of outstanding general obligation loans and new debt for 2020 capital projects.  The City of Sturgeon Bay typically does one debt issuance every year and the refunding component will save the city about $25,000 in interest by refinancing, according to Van Lieshout.  The meeting will start at 7 pm Tuesday in Council Chambers at City Hall.
