Common Council 6-16-2026

The City of Green Bay Common Council held a meeting on June 16, 2026, where several procurement and policy-related matters were discussed. Key procurement-related topics included approval of a redevelopment agreement for a multi-family housing project at the corner of Elp and Locust, which involved pay-as-you-go Tax Increment Financing (TIF) assistance. The council also addressed the issue of vacant property management, debating a proposed vacant property registration and fee program aimed at discouraging long-term vacancies and covering public costs related to vacant buildings. After extensive discussion, the council voted 6-5 to refer the matter to staff for a memo rather than drafting an ordinance immediately, reflecting concerns about potential burdens on property owners and staff. Additionally, the council approved various committee reports, operator license renewals, and alcohol license renewals with conditions for correction meetings. No new fee structures or ordinances were enacted during this meeting, but the referral to staff indicates potential future procurement or regulatory activity related to vacant property management.
