About 70 residents of Sister Bay shared their thoughts on the future of the maintenance building and the Village Hall on Tuesday evening. The Village of Sister Bay heard public comments before their scheduled Parks, Property, and Street Committee meeting. Sister Bay Administrator Julie Schmelzer says the consensus was to tear down the current Parks Maintenance building and rebuild it at the sports complex or on some recently acquired land. She says the sentiment was to use the maintenance building site for parking and not to sell it for commercial purposes.

Schmelzer says the Village Hall discussion centered around the building being an icon and landmark that should be repaired and saved.

The Park, Property, and Street Committee will consider the public comments when they meet on Monday, September 12, before making a recommendation to the Village Board, which could take action at their meeting on September 20.
