The City of Sturgeon Bay received good news on its financial fitness.  At the second meeting of the Common Council on Tuesday night, the 2023 financial audit report was placed on file, accepting the Finance/Purchasing and Building Committee's recommendation to accept the WIPFLi CPAs and Consultants review.  Mayor David Ward says the audit is an important process and document that was clean again this year.

The City of Sturgeon Bay received an upgrade last year to a "Double A" bond rating that helps to lower interest rates and is reflected in the financial audit. In other business, the Common Council approved two second readings regarding rezoning an ordinance at 148 N. Eighth Place and a portable fueling of watercraft—that ordinance aimed at how boaters safely refuel their vessels while on the water. The ordinance revision focuses on the types of containers that can be used and the procedures that must be followed when doing portable fueling.
