Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Green Bay public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
JBS Park sculpture purchase
A $90,000 lit seed-pod sculpture — part of the original publicly vetted JBS park design — will be purchased using developer art money and neighborhood enhancement funds rather than general tax dollars.
Porlier Pier removal
The long-delayed removal of the rotting, unsafe Porlier fishing pier finally got a contractor — $242,660.90 to Zenith Tech — with no replacement currently funded.
Badger Greenway site improvements contract
Northeast Asphalt, Inc. will build the Badger Greenway site improvements for $374,000.40, including the base bid and Alternate No. 2.
Badger Tracks neighborhood sign at Fireman's Park
A newly formed neighborhood association wants to place its sign on city-owned green space next to Fireman's Park. The association pays for and maintains the sign; city staff will pick the exact spot to protect mature trees and keep sightlines clear for drivers.
New CityDeck programming and downtown parking meters
A new "Rack on Deck" series starts Monday at CityDeck with partners like the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, and Mischief & Magic running roughly two nights a week. Officials also got an update on the paid parking lot compliance — improved signage is working, with a revenue/ticket report expected in a week or two.
Flags on the Fox public art initiative
The Path for Pause art project RFQ and the amended Arts Grant RFP were approved, moving public art and arts funding programs forward.
Fox River plein air painting event
A collaborative plein air event along the Fox River — led by De Pere artist Christine Steil with NWTC and the Neville Museum — is being planned for September, with possible PAC prize funds later.
