Hi, I’m Betsy Lecy, a reporter and publishing assistant at Door County Knock. Welcome to a new week on the peninsula. In today’s edition: Flock cameras up for renewal, zoning changes on historic properties and a new road closure.

The Agenda 

Upcoming items at local government meetings, sorted by issue

📷 Public Safety (Tuesday, 6 pm) 

The City of Sturgeon Bay will consider the renewal of the Flock Camera System for 21 months, extending through the end of 2027 during its Tuesday meeting at 6 pm. The Sturgeon Bay Police Department’s previous two-year agreement expired April 4, and officials are proposing a renewal costing more than $50,000, with $30,000 covered in the 2026 capital budget and the remainder covered by the 2027 budget. The system is primarily used for investigations. Read the agenda. 

🏠 Historic Preservation (Wednesday, 9 am)

The Village of Egg Harbor will discuss an amendment to zoning code that would remove the requirement for property owner consent when designating historic structures during its Wednesday meeting at 9 am. Read the agenda.

The Village of Sister Bay’s Parks, Property and Streets Committee will discuss a request from Peninsula Kayak Company to install a wooden storage shed at Sister Bay Beach to support a proposed e-bike rental concession at the committee meeting on Monday at 1 pm. The proposal includes a small, non-permanent shed to store and charge e-bikes, following prior committee and Plan Commission review and concerns about placement and maintenance. Read the agenda.
