Common Council 3-17-2026

The City of Green Bay Common Council held a meeting on March 17, 2026, which included routine approvals of minutes and ordinances, as well as committee reports and public testimony. Key procurement-related discussions involved amendments to city ordinances, including adjustments to operating hours and alcohol possession limits within designated areas, reflecting collaboration with local business owners. The council also approved amendments to the city's personnel policy to allow relocation expense reimbursements up to $10,000 for candidates living more than 100 miles away, aimed at facilitating recruitment for hard-to-fill positions. This policy change was supported by staff and includes director discretion and reimbursement controls. Additionally, the council approved various committee reports and resolutions, including those related to redevelopment and finance, with some items handled separately. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were detailed in the transcript, but the personnel policy amendment could impact future hiring and associated procurement activities.
