The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will look to pass a pair of resolutions aimed at helping local businesses get through another year of handling the pandemic.
One resolution would delay the payments for combination Class B Beer and Class B Liquor licenses. Instead of one lump sum fee, restaurants and bars would be able to spread out the cost over three different payments in June, August, and October.
The other resolution would waive sidewalk café fees for 2021. Restaurants and even non-food-related businesses could submit plans to move some of their operations. Both resolutions cite the current state of emergency and the financial fallout that comes with it as a part of their reasoning.
The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also weigh in on the proposed hike in room taxes and the annexation of land in the Town of Sturgeon Bay when it meets Tuesday at 6 p.m. in its chambers.
