Sturgeon Bay City Hall looks to go half-days on Friday
If you hope to take care of some errands at Sturgeon Bay City Hall on an upcoming Friday afternoon, you may want to adjust those plans. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will weigh in on a proposal from the city’s management team to change its hours so they open an hour earlier and close at 11 a.m. on Fridays. Under the proposal, city hall would open at 7 a.m., allowing residents to care for their business before their work day begins. Since Friday afternoons have historically been a slow time at city hall and more residents are relying on the phone, internet, or mail to conduct their business with the city, the switch is believed not to have a big impact on the general public. Government operations for Door and Brown counties operate on a similar schedule. There would be exceptions to the new rule. Municipal services hours would remain the same, and the City Clerk’s office would have to remain open on Friday afternoons during the election cycle. The Sturgeon Bay Common Council will also look to approve an amendment to the Memorandum of Understanding for the Industrial Flex Building inside the Sturgeon Bay Industrial Park, set a date for its budget public hearing, and hear a presentation on the city’s proprietary and special revenue fund budgets when it meets on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
