6.PUBLIC HEARING

  1. A.26-029 Public Hearing on a Proposed Ordinance to Amend the Zoning Code to Re-Zone the Former Hamilton Property, from I-1 (Industrial) to B-1 (Business), Located at Parcel No. 053-000-052-030.05, Submitted by the City of Two Rivers, Currently Owned by Fischer Scientific INTL LLC

    Summary: This is a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the City’s Zoning Map to re-zone the former Hamilton property from I-1 Industrial to B-1 Business. The property, currently owned by Fischer Scientific International, is the subject of ongoing community visioning and strategic redevelopment planning efforts focused on positioning the site for long-term reinvestment.

    At its January 12, 2026 meeting, the Plan Commission unanimously recommended approval of the proposed re-zoning. The B-1 Business District allows a significantly broader range of by-right uses compared to I-1, including retail establishments, professional and medical offices, restaurants, personal services, and above-ground residential development. This proposed zoning change creates greater flexibility and market responsiveness while aligning the property with the City’s long-term redevelopment objectives.

    Recommended Action:
    Motion to waive reading and adopt the ordinance as recommended by the Plan Commission

11.CITY COUNCIL - FORMAL ITEMS

  1. A.26-033 Approval of Three-Year Professional Services Agreement with All-In Technology for Hybrid Service Model in the Amount of $79,600 Annually through March 2029

    Summary: The proposed contract approves a hybrid technology staffing model with All-In Technology, a Green Bay–based managed service provider. The contract partially outsources IT services to the private sector while retaining one full-time in-house IT professional with the City. The proposed three-year, flat-rate agreement is intended to strengthen cybersecurity and system resiliency, improve service responsiveness, and generate projected General Fund savings of at least $50,000 annually. Year 1 does include a one-time setup onboarding cost of $16,500 to cover the initial heavy lift of network and infrastructure assessments, documentation of existing architecture, identification of vulnerabilities, and the deployment of endpoint protection and monitoring tools.

    Recommended Action:
    Motion to approve contract as recommended by City staff

  2. B.26-034 An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 6-1 of the Municipal Code Regulating Fermented Malt Beverages and Intoxicating Liquors, and Chapter 7-1-13 Regulating Parks

    Summary: The proposed ordinance amends the City Code to establish a late fee for renewal of alcohol beverage licenses for applications submitted after May 1st. This fee was previously approved on the updated fee schedule at the December 16, 2025 Council meeting. This ordinance also authorizes the sale of fermented malt beverages by City personnel in City parks pursuant to Wisconsin Statues. In 2026, City staff intend to explore the flexibility offered by authorization to sell alcohol on a limited basis at public parks to help offset costs associated with beach maintenance and special events. 

    The Two Rivers Police Department does not oppose regulated alcohol sales at the beach or other public parks.  Alcohol consumption is already permitted in City parks and at the beach.  Purchasing alcoholic drinks instead of bringing them onto the beach is likely to reduce glass containers violations.  Regulated sales by responsible beverage operators will also reduce the number of overly intoxicated persons.

    Recommended Action:
    Motion to waive reading and adopt the ordinance
