Sturgeon Bay passes COVID-19 compensation for part-time firefighters

The City of Sturgeon Bay took action Tuesday evening to protect part-time firefighters from lost wages in case they would contract the coronavirus working for the fire department.  The Personnel Committee recommended to the city council to approve the coordination of compensation for the firefighters for qualifying COVID-19 conditions.  Councilmember and committee chair Dan Williams explained the reason for the provision. 

 

 

Williams added that the reimbursement of lost wages would be based on the part-time firefighter’s hourly rate for a fire call and would be comparable to workman’s compensation.  The motion passed unanimously by a 6-0 vote.  In other business, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council also unanimously approved the second reading of the ordinance regarding the zoning code amendment pertaining to height and area regulations of buildings.
