The Sturgeon Bay Common Council held its first meeting since the April election.  All previous council members remained intact along with Mayor David Ward as a lengthy agenda of items were handled on Tuesday.  

After mayoral appointments to committees were unanimously approved, the council passed about $2,455,000 in General Obligation Promissory Notes that would be paid off within ten years.  

In other business, Commercial/Light Manufacturing (C-3) was rezoned to General commercial (C-1) for various parcels as well as the rezoning of property owned by Midwest Wire on Lansing Avenue from C-3 to Light Industrial ((I-1) after a second reading.  

Two housing projects planned for this summer are moving forward after second readings regarding rezoning a Planned Unit Development.  Cherry Point Investments is building a 68-unit multi-family residential complex on Egg Harbor Road, while another 26-unit apartment development by S.C. Swiderski, LLC is planned for the old Sunset School site on North Eighth Avenue.

The proposed Tax Incremental District #6 had boundaries established for multiple project types and received approval from the council.  Next Tuesday, it will go before the Joint Review Board for final approval to create a new TID that includes a large portion of Egg Harbor Road.

Before the business part of the meeting, Mayor David Ward presented Brian Stephens, the CEO of Door County Medical Center, with a plaque recognizing the efforts of DCMC during the COVID-19 pandemic.
