With City Engineer Chad Shefchik leaving his post for a new role at Portside Builders next week, the City of Sturgeon Bay will be utilizing the experience it has on hand to reorganize the engineering department.  City Administrator Josh Van Lieshout says Shefchik did a marvelous job the past several years for Sturgeon Bay and that current Engineer Technician Brian Spetz will be stepping in as the new Senior Engineering Technician.  That position combines Spetz's current duties with the daily activities of the city engineer.  Van Lieshout explains why the move makes sense on several levels.

Shefchik says he has been happy to work through major projects with Door County and Sturgeon Bay Utilities over the years.  Another accomplishment was completing the infrastructure analysis and replacing enough roadways each year to maintain a reasonable schedule within the city.

Shefchik started with the City of Sturgeon Bay as the Municipal Services Crew Supervisor in 2013 before taking over for Tony Depies as the City Engineer in 2016.  He will be doing design and sales for remodeling projects at Portside when he leaves his engineering position with Sturgeon Bay on July 30.
