VIII. BID Manager and BID Committee Reports
Events
MemberCO
Beautification
Marketing & Communications
Meidl provided her management and committee report as presented in the packet and offered an
update of her activities during the past month. She reported the number of Instagram followers for
Downtown Oshkosh has doubled since the beginning of her tenure and explained the detail of the
upcoming Titantown event on September 3.
Meidl explained the electrical box wrap pilot program is set to move forward. Nieforth indicated the
city will not allow any manner of sponsorship recognition on the wraps in accordance with the city’s
policy on advertising within the right of way. Members questioned the city policy and cited other
examples in which sponsorship recognition has been provided for items within the right of way.
Nieforth discussed the flower pot pilot program and clarified the city code requires a 5-foot walking
path clear of any obstructions. She said starting the pilot program this fall would allow the city and the
BID to identify any issues which might preclude potentially expanding the program as a permanent
ordinance following this one-year trial period. Each participating individual business owner or
building owner will need to sign an encroachment agreement with the city as part of this pilot
program. There was additional discussion among members regarding federal Americans with
Disability Act accessibility guidelines.
Chanda Anderson has been moving forward on a blade sign outside her shop. Business owners along
Waugoo Avenue are also collaborating to design and install blade signs for their storefronts.
Meidl reported the Chalk Walk event held August 7, 2021 had a record number of votes cast, despite
the event ending early due to rain. She indicated Jazz in the Square will begin on August 25, and
mentioned ticket sales for WineWalk have sold well within the first four days of availability.
IX. Other Business (Items not listed on the BID Board meeting agenda)
Nieforth reported the city has restored its mask requirement in all city-owned buildings through at
least October 1, 2021.
X. Identification of Agenda Items for the September 21, 2021 Meeting
Chanda Anderson requested having some discussion about a “Welcome to Downtown Oshkosh”
mural in the central city. Members indicated a more robust discussion about murals in general would
be in order.
Lang asked for some discussion requesting a grant to finance the electrical box wrap pilot program.
Lang also requested an item to further discuss code enforcement issues downtown, particularly in
regard to logos and sponsorship in the right of way as well as federal ADA guidelines.
Chanda Anderson also asked the board or budget committee to hold an upcoming conversation
regarding additional staffing for the organization. Lang said staffing issues are attempting to be
addressed through the collaboration with Oshkosh Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the CVB staff
could provide an update on its staffing initiatives in September.
XI. Adjournment
Motion to adjourn by Stapel at 9:07 a.m., second by Larson. Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully Submitted,
