During a relatively routine meeting on Tuesday night, the City of Sturgeon Bay moved forward on several recommendations by the Finance/Purchasing & Building Committee. Council President Dan Williams filled in for Mayor David Ward to preside over the regular meeting, which took about 35 minutes. He says the first piece of business was the approval of a first reading of an alteration to the Municipal Code to make the wording clearer on the Tourist Rooming House ordinance.
The council then approved the contract with Flock Safety to install a license plate reader camera system for $31,500 with a recurring cost of $30,000 annually. Williams says the system will only be used in Sturgeon Bay as an investigative tool for situations like Amber or Silver Alerts that have been issued.
Other recommendations approved Tuesday included the purchase of a new Volvo L90H rubber tire loader and resurfacing the Safe Boat.
After the regular meeting, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council went into a closed session and discussed a property purchase on Division Road but did not take action after deliberating for about 30 minutes.
