The Sturgeon Bay Common Council completed their business on Tuesday in relatively quick order as major fiscal items were approved regarding contractors' asphalt and concrete bids.  The city approved Martell Construction's bid of $298,222.25 for the Concrete Replacement Program.  The only bid received for the paving work was Northeast Asphalt's bid of $846,620.22.  Mayor David Ward shares those details and other actions taken on Tuesday evening.

The city imposed a new ordinance on fencing setbacks and heights in other business.  In the final resolution taken on Tuesday, the council passed a resolution to move forward on eminent domain to extend Grant Avenue after failing to purchase about 36-acres of land over the past two years from Timothy Ruenger.  The 66-foot wide right-of-way strip that would connect South Grant Avenue to Sawyer Drive on the west side now will fall into a Relocation Order and Declaration of Necessity.  Mayor Ward credits the work done at the committee level to allow for a smoother approval process for all business done at the council meetings in the past year.
