B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh is a United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) designated
entitlement community and receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds annually.
Entitlement communities are cities with populations greater than 50,000 that can receive CDBG funding
each year based on congressional appropriations. The 2024 program year began May 1, 2024, and ends
April 30, 2025. Each year, the City prepares a CDBG Action Plan that indicates to HUD how federal funds
will be spent.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The CDBG entitlement allocation for 2024 is $801,434.00.
Staff is proposing 2024 entitlement allocations to the following projects:
1. $50,000 Housing Initiatives (varied regulations; each reference listed with corresponding activity
below)
Activities may include, but are not limited to, rehabilitation or improvements to a single-family

or installation of public facilities and improvements, except as provided in § 570.207(a), carried out
by the recipient or other public or private nonprofit entities.

However, if program income is received, the City will hold a public comment period on the proposed
activity at that time.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
While the CDBG program does not require leveraging, the program does leverage other resources. The
City allocates funding through the Capital Improvements Program and the Healthy Neighborhoods
Initiatives program for housing related activities, public improvements, landscaping, curb appeal
projects, and the acquisition of properties to eliminate slum and blight. These programs and activities
leverage additional tax dollars being brought into the City.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Common Council approves the submittal of the 2024 CDBG Action Plan to the
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Plan Commission made a
determination of consistency on June 4, 2024, that the proposed programs and activities in the 2024
CDBG Action Plan are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plans, official maps, or other planned
activities of the City. Please see the attached staff report for more information.

1. Introduction
Consultation on development of this Plan was achieved through interviews, e-mail correspondence and
public hearings. Efforts were made to consult agencies that provide a wide range of services so that a
clear picture of community needs would be available during development of the Plan. The City of
Oshkosh consulted with public and private agencies and organizations that provide assisted housing,
health services, and social services (including those focusing on services to children, elderly persons,
persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, homeless persons), community-
based and regionally-based organizations that represent protected class members, and organizations
that enforce fair housing laws.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(l))
The City's Community Development Department acts as the single point of contact to coordinate efforts
between public and assisted housing providers, as well as private and governmental health, mental
health, and social service agencies. The City works with the following agencies to enhance funding and
service allocations to address the housing and community development needs of the area:
City of Oshkosh Community Development Department - oversees the CDBG program.
Winnebago County Department of Human Services - provides care and protection to County
residents from infancy to old age, through consumer-focused programs designed to maintain
and improve the quality of life for consumers and their families.
Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority - manage the Public Housing and Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher Programs, create improvements to public housing communities, and
develop affordable housing.
Social Services Agencies - provides services to address the needs of low- and moderate-income
persons and those with special needs.
Housing Providers - rehabilitates and develops affordable housing for low- and moderate-
income families and individuals. Including Habitat for Humanity, Oshkosh Kid’s Foundation,
COTS, Northpointe Development Inc., Solutions Recovery and NeighborWorks Green Bay.
Winnebagoland Housing Coalition / CoC - oversees the Continuum of Care Network for the City
of Oshkosh and Winnebago County.
Local jurisdictions, agencies, and organizations will be invited to submit proposals/applications for CDBG
funds for eligible activities. These groups are welcome to participate in the planning process by
attending the public hearings, informational meetings, and through electronic updates. These groups
are notified through the City’s Community Development Department network of upcoming meetings

and funding opportunities. Also, the staff of the Community Development Department have proactively
been participating in additional community encounter opportunities and forming partnerships to
accomplish larger scale housing and community development activities.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The City of Oshkosh is a member of the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition, under the Wisconsin Balance
of State Continuum of Care (WIBOSCOC). Winnebagoland Housing Coalition meets quarterly to engage
in conversations regarding homeless issues, as well as coordinating the efforts of a variety of agencies
serving youth, families, and veterans experiencing homelessness. City of Oshkosh staff attends the local
CoC meetings and acts as the City's representative. The City coordinates its activities with the
Continuum of Care and supports its applications for funds. The City helps WIBOSCOC to address
homelessness by working together to develop a framework to deliver housing and supportive services to
the homeless and those at risk of homelessness.
The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition identifies regional and local homeless issues; coordinates regional
planning; identifies regional housing gaps and needs, strategies, and priorities; provides input for
Supportive Services for Veteran Families (SVF) and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) applications;
participates in completion of the CoC application; monitors Homeless Management Information Systems
(HMIS) participation and implementation; and coordinates and follows-up on the Point in Time (PIT)
count and Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR).
The Winnebagoland Housing Coalition has representation from multiple interest groups including: CDBG
Jurisdictions, Public Housing Authorities, domestic violence service providers, Veterans, youth service
providers, Community Action Partnerships, homeless service providers, and faith-based organizations.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
Most of WIBOSCOC ESG funding is allocated by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, Division of
Housing, Energy, and Community Resources (DEHCR). The CoC develops priorities, target populations,
outcome measures, and evaluation processes for ESG through an elected agency such as ADVOCAP,
including prioritizing Rapid ReHousing (RRH). The CoC decides on ESG funding ranking and project
scoring based on knowledge of projects, capacity of applicants and participation in CoC planning.
ADVOCAP, as the Collaborative Applicant and HMIS Lead, has access to the Point in Time and Homeless
Management Information System (HMIS) data.

The Winnebagoland CoC and the HMIS work together to assess data quality throughout the CoC. This
includes working on Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) submission, the PIT count, project
review/ranking, and working with individual programs while completing their Annual Performance
Reports (APRs). There are thirty-seven (37) beds at the Christine Ann Domestic Violence Shelter, fifty
(50) rooms at Father Carr’s. Lastly, the Day-by-Day Warming Shelter provides shelter and services 365
days of the year with a 50-bed capacity.
There are three (3) transitional housing projects within Winnebago County. COTS operates two
transitional housing shelters in Oshkosh, one eight (8) bed shelter for women and one ten (10) bed
shelter for men.
ADVOCAP also operates one scattered-site transitional housing project funded by the Department of
Justice. The DOJ-funded project can provide housing for approximately 35 individuals and ten (10)
families per year. ADVOCAP also operates a HUD-funded permanent supportive housing project, with
three (3) households within Oshkosh in scattered sites, and Rapid Re-Housing projects, with twelve (12)
households in Oshkosh. The number of units occupied are directly affected by the availability of
housing units at fair market rent, as there is an increasing number of people who need the homeless
programs.
There are zero Runaway or Homeless Youth beds being reported in Oshkosh or Winnebago County.
Additional outreach to volunteer and faith-based organizations will occur through the implementation
of coordinated entry. The CoC will work with Veterans to improve participation among VA-funded
projects.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how
matching requirements will be satisfied. While the CDBG program does not require leveraging, the program does leverage other resources.
The City budgets funds in its Capital Improvement Program for additional programs for housing related activities (i.e. acquisition, housing
rehabilitation), public facility improvements, landscaping, curb appeal projects, and acquisition of properties to eliminate slum and blight
through the Healthy Neighborhood funds. The City also is leveraging American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to fund public service and
infrastructure activities. The City leverages funds from tax increment financing (TIF) Districts as well.

All funding allocations are consistent with priority needs in the City of Oshkosh and align with the 2020-
2024 Consolidated Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, City Strategic Plan, the Oshkosh Housing Study, and
various other documents that guide staff during the allocation process. Every effort was made to ensure
that the most vulnerable citizens in Oshkosh are the beneficiaries of the Program Year 2024 CDBG

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and
minority concentration) where assistance will be directed
All programs, projects, and activities to be carried out under the 2024 Annual Action Plan will meet one
of the three National objectives of:
Benefit to low and moderate income (LMI) persons.
Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight.
Meet a need having a particular urgency.
Funds will be used to assist LMI persons and households on a city-wide basis or in neighborhoods with
approved associations, occur in and benefit LMI/LMA census tracts/block groups, or in spot blighted or
approved redevelopment areas. The City's neighborhood associations map will change as new
associations are recognized by the City, so for an updated map with low to moderate income census
block groups within the City’s approved neighborhood associations, please contact the City's Planning
Services Division at 920-236-5059, located in Room 204, City Hall, 215 Church Avenue.

Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Assistance will be directed primarily to LMI census tracts and block groups and recognized neighborhood
associations, as well as properties spot blighted or designated as redevelopment areas by the City, or on
a community wide basis to LMI income eligible persons. The majority of the LMI census tracts and block
groups are located within the oldest areas of the Central City, which are predominately single and two
family residential neighborhoods (though many have experienced inappropriate single family to multiple
family conversions), but also include a mix of commercial, industrial and institutional uses.
Residents in these areas have limited financial capacity to address housing and non-housing conditions,
as well as neighborhood revitalization efforts. The City’s 2024 CDBG Action Plan activities and programs
are intended to address these needs.

Introduction
The City of Oshkosh will provide funding to support the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority
and the local Habitat for Humanity’s homebuyers programs with homebuyer financial assistance loans
and rehabilitation as needed with unspent prior year CDBG funds.
The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority currently owns a handful of public housing
properties, in addition to a number of scattered sites.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The City of Oshkosh will collaborate with the Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority on projects
to further affordable housing for low- to moderate-income households and/or disabled households.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
Residents of the Oshkosh Housing Authority have an annual meeting with the Executive Director, as well
as bi-monthly meetings with property managers and social workers. Additionally, there is a tenant from
Raulf Place on the Housing Authority Board. The Housing Authority also sends out newsletters to
residents to keep them informed on Housing Authority activities and initiatives. In order to better serve
non-English speaking public housing residents, the Housing Authority has translators available for
residents. Additionally, the housing authority invites a guest speaker at an annual employee event, and
sends out monthly Fair Housing online newsletters to all staff.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
Not applicable; the Oshkosh Housing Authority and Winnebago County Housing Authority are not
designated as troubled.
Discussion
The City of Oshkosh has identified that there is a need for decent, safe and sanitary housing that is
affordable and accessible to address the households affected by housing problems, severe housing
problems, and housing cost burdens. The largest groups affected by housing problems are the extremely
low-income households and senior households. The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority is
an important part of the City's affordable housing strategy and the primary assisted housing provider of
housing for extremely low income, very low income, and lower income residents of the City of Oshkosh.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i)
Introduction
The Wisconsin Balance of State CoC (WIBOSCOC) serves a total of sixty-nine counties. The 69 counties
are organized into twenty-one geographically dispersed local homeless coalitions. The City of Oshkosh is
part of the Winnebagoland CoC. The region is made up of two counties which include: Fond du Lac
County and Winnebago County.
According to the WIBOSCOC governance charter, the purpose of the Wisconsin Balance of State CoC is
to lead and support the efforts of its members to end homelessness. The CoC works toward ending
homelessness by providing leadership to providers of homeless services and ensuring the efficient and
effective delivery of housing and supportive services to individuals and families experiencing
homelessness or at risk of homelessness. This includes strongly encouraging community-wide
commitment to ending homelessness, providing funding for efforts by nonprofit providers, and
promoting access to and effective use of mainstream programs by individuals and families experiencing
homelessness.
The City continues to collaborate with the Day by Day Warming Shelter and a permanent shelter facility
that will offer on-site services, additional resources and additional beds in Program Year 2024.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Homeless service providers maintain contact with other agencies that may not be active members of the
housing coalition to facilitate homeless participants accessing services in a timely manner or to assure
appropriate referral of persons by other agencies to the homeless service providers.
Also, ADVOCAP and the Day by Day Warming Shelter provides staff support to conduct point in time
surveys of homeless needs, prepare annual needs assessment and prioritization of unmet needs, and
write grants for joint homeless activities. The City will continue to participate as a member of the
Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and obtain input from organizations providing the
necessary services and assist with funding where possible.
The biggest risk factors of homelessness continued to be: 1) a person or family double-up with another
family, 2) being released from a psychiatric facility, 3) being released from a substance abuse treatment
facility, or 4) being released from a correctional facility.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
Page 33
Annual Action Plan
2024
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City of Oshkosh will continue to support the Day by Day Warming shelter that serves a small but
definite population of persons with limited shelter options in the community. The Day by Day Warming
Shelter adds an important level to the continuum of care in this area by providing a safe setting to a
vulnerable homeless population. Despite nearly 200 success stories of guests working toward self-
sufficiency at the shelter, the need for temporary overnight shelter continues to grow in Oshkosh.
Homelessness and the factors affecting it are increasing and the temporary local warming shelter has to
regularly turn people in need away.
Also, the Redevelopment Authority (RDA) of the City of Oshkosh has leased a single family house to
ADVOCAP for short term transitional housing.
The City has also provided support to COTs, Solutions Recovery and Christine Ann Domestic Abuse
Services, which are organizations in Oshkosh that have grown substantially over the past few years that
provide transitional housing services.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Using the HUD System Performance Measure Guidance, the HMIS Lead developed a CoC Performance
Report with metrics for “Length of Time Homeless” (LOTH) and reviewed this data with the CoC Data
Committee which meets quarterly to review CoC Performance and identify needed interventions. The
strategies to reduce the length of time of homelessness include: 1) Coordinated Entry through the
Vulnerability Index & Service Prioritization Decision Assistance Tool which included LOTH as a
prioritization factor; 2) the CoC adopted a protocol that mirrors CPD 14-012, “Notice on Prioritizing
Persons Experiencing Chronic Homelessness and Other Vulnerable Homeless Persons in Permanent
Supportive Housing and Recordkeeping Requirements for Documenting Chronic Homeless Status”,
which directs Permanent Supportive Housing resources to those with the greatest LOTH; 3) the CoC
increased its Rapid Rehousing inventory with the goal of housing people within 30 days of becoming
homeless; and 4) the Data Committee reviewed aggregate and project level performance data quarterly
to identify where LOTH was not decreasing.
Through the use of the VISPDAT, the CoC prioritizes the most vulnerable families. Rapid Rehousing (RRH)
programs, along with all project types, are expected to serve families based on their vulnerability score,
while utilizing a Housing First approach. The use of RRH has increased throughout the CoC. ESG funds
are prioritized for RRH over homeless prevention services. An increase in Supportive Services for
Page 34
Annual Action Plan
2024
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Veteran Families (SSVF) resources are being utilized to rapidly rehouse veteran families.
The CoC also aims to reduce the rate of individuals and families who return to homelessness. The
Wisconsin Balance of State CoC looks at reoccurrence rates as part of the project scoring for HUD
Competition each year. The WIBOSCOC looks at one and two-year returns. Winnebagoland CoC’s
Permanent Supportive Housing project has a 0% return, one Rapid Rehousing project has an 8% return,
and another RRH project has an 11% return.
The Center for Veteran’s Issues operates the HUD VASH project in Winnebago County. The Center does
not fall under direct control of a single governmental entity. It works as an independent provider and
servicer dedicated to ending Veteran homelessness in the state of Wisconsin.
The Oshkosh/Winnebago County Housing Authority administers the HUD-VASH program and prioritizes
veterans on their waiting list.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City will continue to participate on the Winnebagoland Housing Coalition to provide and obtain
input from organizations providing the necessary services and assist with funding where possible.
While City staff will not lead the effort to create a discharge policy, staff will participate in any efforts to
create such a policy.
Discussion
The City of Oshkosh does not receive any private funds to address homeless needs or to prevent
homelessness. There are a number of public and private organizations providing these homeless
services in the community and the City supports these agencies through funding public service agencies.
The City also allocated a portion of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support homelessness
initiatives. The Continuum of Care (CoC) in Oshkosh has a direct influence in addressing the needs of the
homeless, as well.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:
In 2020, the City of Oshkosh prepared an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (AI). The AI
identified local jurisdictional and regional collaborative actions the participants will undertake over the
next five years to address fair housing choice and housing affordability.
The City of Oshkosh Community Development staff respond to questions from City residents pertaining
to the Fair Housing Act and its provisions. City staff are familiar with local Ordinances and Federal laws
concerning fair housing that are designed to protect all residents of the community from discrimination.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The Oshkosh public transportation system, provides bus service to LMI households in Census Tracts 1, 2,
4, 5, 7, 8 , 11, 12, 14 and 15.
As City streets are resurfaced, they are designed to enable safe access for all users, including
pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and transit riders, that helps create a livable community for all citizens.
Also, there are a number of State and local regulations designed to promote the orderly development
and maintenance of safe, decent and sanitary housing in the community. To eliminate duplication, the
City uses the building codes established by the State for uniform construction standards. Consequently,
the City’s building codes do not appear to hinder the development or preservation of
affordable housing.
Likewise, the locally established Minimum Housing Code does not create a barrier for affordable
housing. These standards parallel the National Minimum Housing Code Standards and are minimum
requirements established to preserve and promote the public health, safety, comfort, personality and
general welfare of the people. Their enforcement is necessary to preserve and encourage the
private/public interests in housing and its maintenance.
Legal Action of Wisconsin (LAW) provides legal aid related to affordable housing, serving low-income
residents living in the City. LAW staff provides assistance to residents who face eviction, are denied
housing, or are forced to live in uninhabitable conditions. Information on foreclosures, consumer issues,
and fair housing is also provided to the residents. LAW policies and activities promote the awareness of
fair housing requirements. They provide consultation to developers and municipalities to ensure that
rental and for-sale units are marketed in accordance with the affirmative marketing rules of the U.S.
Page 36
Annual Action Plan
2024
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Department of Housing and Urban Development. LAW ensures that all housing programs and services
provided by the City, its municipalities, and LAW itself, are administered in a way that promotes fair
housing on the basis of race, national origin, religion, gender, disability, and familial status.
The City contracts with the Fair Housing Center of Northeastern Wisconsin (FHCNW), a satellite office of
the Metropolitan Milwaukee Fair Housing Council (MMFHC), for fair housing services. The FHCNW
Outreach & Education Program provides fair housing training for interested parties, fair housing
technical assistance for government agencies, development and distribution of fair housing educational
materials, and presentations to the general public. The mission of FHCNW is to promote fair housing
throughout the State of Wisconsin by combating illegal housing discrimination and by creating and
maintaining racially and economically integrated housing patterns.
The City made the following amendments to its Zoning Ordinance to allow for use of the Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADU) in residential zoning districts. ADUs are smaller, independent residential dwelling
units located on the same lot as a stand-alone (i.e., detached) single-family home. ADUs increase the
opportunities for affordable workforce housing in the City. Working in the coordination of reducing the
minimum lot width, increasing density, reducing parking requirements in multifamily development
districts, and eliminating the minimum dwelling size to free up lots that historically haven’t been able to
be developed for housing sites
All residential properties are assessed on a citywide basis using market sales data of comparable
properties in and around the immediate neighborhood. Citywide assessing ensures an equitable
treatment of residential property and provides an incentive to those who maintain and improve their
properties.
Discussion:
The City of Oshkosh will continue to monitor and review public policies for discriminatory practices,
and/or impacts on housing availability during this program year. In addition to the proclamation, the
City has completed the following activities to promote fair housing:
The City continues to contract with Milwaukee Fair Housing Council and has revised the Fair Housing
Ordinance to reflect the current structure for investigation and disposition of complaints through a
third-party contract (Fair Housing Council) as needed.
The City continues to administer a voluntary Residential Rental Registration and Inspection program.
The City-wide program is voluntary and provides for the registration and inspection of residential rental
dwelling units in the City to ensure units provide safe, decent, and sanitary living conditions for tenants
and to prevent further deterioration of those units.

The City will continue to comply with Title 24 Part 35: Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain
Residential Structures (Current Rule) for its Housing Rehabilitation Program. In order to meet the
requirements of the lead-based paint regulations, the City will take the following actions regarding
housing rehabilitation:
Applicants for rehabilitation funding receive the required lead-based paint information and
understand their responsibilities.
Staff properly determines whether proposed projects are exempt from some or all lead-based
paint requirements.
The level of Federal rehabilitation assistance is properly calculated and the applicable lead-

2024
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
and clearance services when required.
Required lead hazard reduction work and protective measures are incorporated into project
rehabilitation specifications.
Risk assessment, paint testing, lead hazard reduction, and clearance work are performed in
accordance with the applicable standards established in 24 CFR Part 35, Subpart R.
Required notices regarding lead-based paint evaluation, presumption, and hazard reduction are
provided to occupants and documented.
Program documents establish the rental property owner's responsibility to perform and
document ongoing lead-based paint maintenance activities, when applicable.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families
The City’s goal is to reduce the extent of poverty by actions the City can control and through work with
other agencies and organizations.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City's Community Development Staff will coordinate activities among the public and private
agencies and organizations in the City. This coordination will ensure that the goals outlined in the FY
2020-2024 Five-Year Consolidated Plan will be effectively addressed by more than one agency. The staff
of the Economic Development Division will facilitate and coordinate the linkage between these public
and private partnerships and develop new partnership opportunities in the City. This coordination and
collaboration between agencies is important to ensure that the needs of the residents of the City of
Oshkosh are being addressed.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City is committed to continuing its participation and coordination with social service agencies,
housing agencies, community and economic development agencies, City, county, federal, and state
agencies, as well as with the private and non-profit sectors, to serve the needs of target income
individuals and families in the City. The City accepts funding requests for CDBG funds annually. The
Economic Development Division staff provides help and technical assistance as needed to assist these
public agencies that receive CDBG funding.

Community For Hope
1. When working with citizens in Oshkosh, what has your organization identified as the
greatest need to effectively serve the citizens?
The greatest need we have, in order to provide adequate education related to mental health and
suicide prevention, is our lack of employees to increase the number of individuals served. There
is not any one part of the city, that would NOT benefit from our services, but we need to hire
additional staff.
2. What barriers is your organization facing when trying to help community members and meet
the goals of your organization?
Lack of capacity within our organization to serve the wide population of the city. We love
partnering with organizations, manufacturing companies, schools, businesses- to provide
evidence based education related to mental health and suicide prevention. However, we need
additional employees to do that, we need to add to our infrastructure. Additionally, finding
adequate meeting space that is accessible to all for any type of grief group, mental health group,
or educational group can be challenging.
3. Has your organization identified gaps in services that would positively impact the citizens in
Oshkosh but is currently not available?
Access to Mental Health services and mental health resources is lacking. If we were able to
provide more prevention education, reach more people, we believe that people would be less
likely to fall into crisis. Look at PREVENTION programs!
4. What is the number one issue you see when assisting community members?
Access to resources. The resources need to be where the people are- people are not going to seek
out the resources and services. We need to inbed the resources within the city. That is why we
are renting space at the Hyde Community Center. We are trying to be where the people in need
are.
The more employees we are able to hire, the more we can inbed our resources into the shelter,
the schools, Solutions, etc.

Oshkosh Kid’s Foundation
1. When working with citizens in Oshkosh, what has your organization identified as the
greatest need to effectively serve the citizens?
Livable low income housing for them to transition to, childcare, transportation ( hours of
buses, low amount of affordable used cars, affordable vehicle services), mental health services
2. What barriers is your organization facing when trying to help community members and meet
the goals of your organization?
Child care-availability, affordability, 2nd shift and weekends. Transportation to work.
3. Has your organization identified gaps in services that would positively impact the citizens in
Oshkosh but is currently not available?
Child care is our biggest challenge to allow our families to get living wage employment.
4. What is the number one issue you see when assisting community members?
Child care and mental health services.

Owner, Community & Nonprofit Leadership Consulting, LLC
1. When working with citizens in Oshkosh, what has your organization identified as the
greatest need to effectively serve the citizens?
Substance use treatment, sober living, affordable housing, affordable and flexible childcare,
access to food
2. What barriers is your organization facing when trying to help community members and meet
the goals of your organization?
People aren't able to find affordable housing, especially for people who may have eviction or
felony history, even if they're trying to start over or are in recovery. It is hard for people to have
jobs, especially mothers, if they aren't able to find affordable and flexible childcare. Families are
still greatly struggling with getting food, and even though we have an amazing community
pantry, it's hard for them to get there (with the times it's open or with transportation or with
trying to ride the bus and take care of young kids and hold their packages).
3. Has your organization identified gaps in services that would positively impact the citizens in
Oshkosh but is currently not available?
1. Substance use treatment
2. More community-wide childcare options
3. Increase in sober living or sober housing (after people have completed sober
living programs).
4. What is the number one issue you see when assisting community members?
Unfortunately, there is so much. This next year I want to focus on food insecurity since it seems
a lot easier to figure out then the rest. I hope the city can focus most on housing and childcare

Greater Oshkosh Economic Development Corporation
1. When working with citizens in Oshkosh, what has your organization identified as the
greatest need to effectively serve the citizens?
Our riders of Oshkosh are struggling to balance meeting their basic needs and maintaining
employment. Many of our riders have expressed their inability to purchase an affordable
car, maintain a safe car with low income, or secure any type of transportation services due to
their current situation of being homeless, just starting employment or in a recovery program.
The high costs of housing, food, clothing, and transportation are out of budget for a large
portion of our community members. When one basic need is not met, it disrupts all the other
basic needs. We collaborate with Lutheran Social Services and other social service programs to
help improve the lives of Oshkosh community members, through access to gainful
employment.
2. What barriers is your organization facing when trying to help community members and meet
the goals of your organization?
Barriers our organization is facing when trying to help community members and meet our goals
include the lack of priority given to transportation by additional community leaders, challenges
with federal and state funding such as reduced funding, and local businesses not engaging in
our program to alleviate costs for their employees. We rely on grants and local funds to operate
the program, but we have not found a sustainable long-term solution or program model for our
employment transportation program. Due to its constraints of limited funding sources and
declining transportation providers such as cab companies.
3. Has your organization identified gaps in services that would positively impact the citizens in
Oshkosh but are currently not available?
Our organization has identified gaps in services that could positively impact the citizens in
Oshkosh but are currently not available. We are a short-term solution with a limited budget
and are unable to service riders in the middle and high-income levels due to current grant
budgets and capacity. Additionally, we do not receive any investments from employers whose
employees use our program, which could significantly benefit both the businesses and our
program.
4. What is the number one issue you see when assisting community members?
The number one issue we see when assisting community members is the lack of financial
income and support, they have to provide their basic needs for themselves or their families.
Some have no income and rely on our program for transportation to their new jobs, while
others lack the necessary income or savings to purchase or repair their cars to get to work.

Comprehensive Plan 2040 (Plan Commission Recommends Approval)
CITIZEN STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL
Nate Gustafson (1820 County Road 27, Fox Crossing) introduced himself as the representative of
the 55th assembly. Gustafson noted that because of new redistricting, his district now hits south
Oshkosh. Mr. Gustafson wanted to introduce himself and reiterate to the Council how important
the reevaluation process is and to remind council to take a hard look at needs and wants
throughout the budget process.
Ashlee Hesse (4815 Plummers Point Road, Oshkosh) expressed his happiness regarding the housing
plan and presentation that was presented at today's meeting. Mr. Hesse went on to express an
interest in sharing a resource called the Area Deprivation Index. This is a good tool that can be
used by anyone. This index when broken down can look at group's labels as disadvantaged.
While looking at the data, Mr. Hesse saw that the City of Oshkosh scored high in the "negative
data". Mr. Hesse also wanted to promote a public forum that would address dyslexia and
literacy. This event is June 12 at Becketts and it is sponsored by the Learning Collaborative.
TJ Hobbs (520 High Avenue, Oshkosh) spoke briefly in regard to DEI's ability to review ARPA
applications. Hobbs noted that DEI was not given the opportunity to review all the applications.
Hobbs asked council to please follow up on the resolution while reviewing the applications.
Mr. William Rothy (862 W 10th, Oshkosh) Mr. Rothy spoke regarding a tax bill he received in the
mail and his displeasure with it. Rothy spoke of how this is a burden, as he is finding it hard to pay
the bills and medical expenses. Mr. Rothy was there to represent the older community. Rothy
then went on to read social media posts in regard to the assessments that were recently sent by
Oshkosh citizens.

Res 24-268 Approve Operator License - Whitcomb (Staff Recommends Denial)
Kesi Whitcomb (1431 Powers Street, Oshkosh) spoke regarding her appeal of the denial of the
bartender's license. Whitcomb referenced her letter of appeal that council received and asked
council to grant her the operator's license. Whitcomb noted that the findings from the police
department and all citations were dropped. Therefore, Ms. Whitcomb believes that she should be
eligible for an operator's license.
Council Member Buelow thanked Ms. Whitcomb for coming in and recognizing that being in the
hospitality business can be difficult. Buelow thanked her for the letter and noted that the letter
stated that she wanted to change her process for verifying identification. Council member
Buelow asked how she has changed her process.
Ms. Whitcomb replied that she is conscious of the mistake and does not want it to happen again.
Therefore, she thoroughly checks IDs, especially customers appearing under the age of 40.
Whitcomb noted that she does not want to make the mistake again.
Council Member Buelow recognizes that council is being asked to override the recommendation
of the Chief of Police. He also understands and appreciates the applicant for coming forward.
Council Member Nichols stated that he appreciated the applicant coming in and the letter that
the council received. Nichols went on to ask when the applicant served the underage person if a
penalty was assessed? The applicant replied that the penalty has not been paid yet, but it will be
taken care of.
Council Member Larson requested clarification of the process and if we often deny new
applicants/operator licenses.
City Attorney Lorenson reiterated that this application was not a renewal but a new application
for an operator's license.
Chief Smith explained the process that the police department does with applications. If there is
anything that the applicant has left off or forgot to include, the applicant is given the opportunity
through the clerk's office to amend and add any pertinent information. The police department
then reevaluates and reassesses the application.
Council Member Larson then questioned if council could approve a provisional or probational
bartender license with the stipulation that the applicant could lose their license if they did
something wrong.
Council Member Nichols then inquired about a rubric regarding the approval process.
Police Chief Smith noted there are so many different situations that a rubric would not fit. Chief
Smith also explained the list of checks that each applicant goes through in the process of
approval.
Council Member Nichols noted that if Council did/did not approve the license, the establishment
where the bartender is employed is ultimately responsible for hiring the individual operator.
Chief Smith said yes.
Ms. Whitcomb then stated that if she were to work without an operator's license, the
establishment would need to hire a licensed operator to be present when Whitcomb worked,
which would be an added cost for the establishment.
Council Member Larson inquired about a probationary license and if this was a possibility.....
Attorney Lorenson noted that regardless, a full revocation of the license would be necessary if
council wanted to take away any license.
Council Member Esslinger agreed with other council and is not sure that this rises to the level of
council denying her license.
Deputy Mayor Buelow reiterated that the establishment and the operator can be fined if the
operator breaks the law. Ultimately, the establishment must review the operator's performance.
Buelow then asked Ms. Whitcomb when she took the bartenders course, at which Whitcombe
stated that she took the course when she first applied for the license, in early December.
Chief Smith noted that the decision is ultimately up to council.
Council Member Floam appreciated the conversation and is inclined to support issuing the
operator's license.

Res 24-269 Approve Class "B" Beer License/ Combination Novelty Store and Tavern (CanCan, LLC)
Chandra Anderson (542 W 16th, Oshkosh) spoke in support of the new CanCan store, asked
Council to consider this new and exciting innovative idea, and asked that Council support the
application.
Kate Voss (584 N. Main Street, Oshkosh), owner of CanCan summarized information that was
provided to Council regarding the CanCan operating idea. Ms. Voss also spoke about her music
and producing information and how they came to Oshkosh and wanted to grow roots here and
bring something new and progressive to the area.
City Manager Rohloff spoke about how staff had worked with Ms. Voss regarding her
interpretation of a novelty store because this is the first in our area. It was important for staff and
Ms. Voss to work together to present the findings to Council.
Council Member Nichols agreed that this is a unique opportunity. Nichols asked about conditions
regarding issuing a liquor license, if this was done in the past, and some of the wording that was
presented for this particular application.
Council Member Floam stated that he believes the conditions seem redundant.
Council Member Buelow asked about underage patrons as he noted that it is an endearing
concept, just not for him, but that's OK. It doesn't have to be for him and thanked Ms. Voss for
coming and bringing this forward to council.
Council Member Larson reiterated the exemption and is grateful for their bringing this forward.
Larson is worried that future applicants may find it difficult to apply for a license in the City of
Oshkosh if they can only get one with stipulations.
Community Development Director Nieforth noted that the City of Oshkosh has many codes. The
zoning code for this particular building is good, but as the use code is affected, this needs to get
approved as an assembly. Community Development / Economic Development is very supportive
of this project just as long as the building is brought up to code.
Chief Building Official Fabish explained what an assembly definition falls under. Fabish noted that
an assembly is when people are gathering and especially if there is alcohol involved puts it under
the assembly umbrella.
Council Member Larson clarified that the ordinance that stipulates assembly, but noted that this is
not a large assembly location.
Chief Building Official Fabish stated that the bottom line is that this becomes an assembly use with
this application. People will be gathering in the space for longer period of time, and things need
to be brought up to code like, ADA accessibility, egress, fire codes etc. When the fire
department first looked at this, the business plan was for a mercantile/novelty store, not a tavern.
As a mercantile/store all codes were approved. Now that the applicant is applying for a liquor
license it changes the zoning and it needs to be up to standard for assembly/gathering. This is a
change of use.
Fire Chief Stanley confirmed that the initial fire inspection was done as the applicant stated the
business was for a novelty/mercantile store. Now, the applicant is looking to change the intended
use offering a place to come in and have a beverage stay longer than originally anticipated. This
now puts the business in a different category and needs approval from OFD. The building needs
more fire protection, added exit lighting, etc..... Ultimately, we want to make sure that we are
protecting the safety of the occupants.
City Manager Rohloff suggested amending the resolution to reflect the current wording on liquor
license applications.
Council Member Stephenson stated that they had been discussing semantics and wanted to
confirm that council is not giving anyone special treatment. Stephenson noted he did not want to
be seeing other stores selling Knick Knacks with alcohol in the back.
Council Member Larson agreed that the amendment should reflect the current wording used on
other liquor license applications, and this resolution should look like any other resolution for a liquor
license application.
Mayor Mugerauer noted that this same discussion came up with the Dora initiative. At that time
Council had noted that during discussions they agreed that alcohol would not be sold at
mercantile/regular stores, period. This discussion means that council is managing by exception
and council is treating this applicant differently. We are trying to be creative and promote
adaptability and visualize a vibrant downtown area. Mugerauer then asked the applicant. Why
do you need to sell alcohol to have such a vibrant space?
Ms. Voss went on to say that this was always part of her business plan. It was something unique
and different. The ability to offer a customer a beverage while they came into her store to
browse, look at art, possibly talk to others about local artists' products, etc... adding this element
will give her establishment more room to grow, expand, and get customers through the door.
Mayor Mugerauer noted that the state is not in support of this. He believes this will not be the only
application that we see of this type. That being said, if staff is comfortable with the changes and
amendments being proposed we can move forward. Mugerauer also stated that every time we
go against the recommendations of staff, council is opening itself to jeopardizing the safety and
health of the community Mugerauer reiterated that he believes this is a dangerous president that
council is setting
Council Member Esslinger believes that government puts up too many barriers, puts applicants
through hoops, and asks unnecessary questions. Esslinger believes that government should entice
people to come to a location and want to try new things. Council Member Esslinger is in favor of
the Amendment.

COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER & FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Overnight Parking Restrictions (Nichols)
Council Member Nichols voiced his concern regarding overnight parking restrictions. Nichols
believes there is not enough signage, it is confusing for some residents and visitors to the city.
Nichols also stated that there is inconsistency in parking enforcement. Nichols stated the city
should allow overnight street parking without restrictions unless clearly signed. The city should
use permanent and temporary signage, and allow overnight parking in city lots. Nichols
understands that these issues need to go to the staff and the transportation committee.
Council Member Nichols would like to see more education for the citizens regarding being
ticketed, and feels that since the city is enforcing the VRF and all city automobiles are paying
this fee, that parking should be allowed on all streets. Nichols would like the transportation
committee and staff to examine this and see how the city can improve parking.
Some constituents approached Council Member Floam regarding the confusing parking
ordinances. One citizen feels they are being double charged with the VRF and parking
citations. Floam would also like to see the transportation committee put something together
regarding the parking process.
Council Member Stephenson agrees with the other council members and would like to see
improvements to the parking process.
Council Member Larson understands what we have now but welcomes a discussion on how
we can make this process better, especially the restriction on overnight parking and city lots.
Council Member Esslinger is in favor of this discussion and brought this topic to the council
years ago. Esslinger wanted the other council members to know that this is a contentious
topic, and that we will be hearing strong arguments from both sides.
City Manager Rohloff stated that this direction will be brought to the Transportation
Committee/Department for recommendations and policy analysis.
Discussion on Implementation of the Vehicle Registration Fee (Esslinger)
Council Member Esslinger questioned why people were being charged the vehicle
registration fee in June when the implementation should have been in July.
Finance Director Julie Calmes explained that DOR charges in June for stickers that expired
June 30 and are effective July 1. In other words, the DOT did what was necessary to
implement the VRF in June for a July 1 effective date.
City Manager Mark Rohloff recapped that there will most likely be a reduction of vehicles
registered in Oshkosh once residents realize they are not in the City of Oshkosh. For example,
the Town of Black Wolf, Town of Omro, Town of Oshkosh, etc...
Priorities for ARPA Grant Applications
TJ Hobbs (address above) voiced their opinion and did not believe the ARPA application
process has been as transparent. Hobbs would like to know why Council is not seeing the
actual applications. Hobbs also questioned the resolution that stated that DEI has input
regarding the applications and asked the Council to review that resolution and follow its
guidance.
City Manager Rohloff supplied Council with a summary memo regarding the ARPA
applications and the scoring. Rohloff is looking for feedback and direction.
Council Member Esslinger does not believe that the City Manager should be making the final
decision for the ARPA applications. Esslinger would like to view all 51 applications. Esslinger
also believes that Council should tackle this and make a decision.
Council Member Floam agrees with Esslinger's statement. Floam suggests a workshop to see
the applications.
Council Member Nichols agrees with the other council members and believes the
applications should be available to the public.
City Manager Rohloff reiterated that technically these applications are public records. If
someone wanted to see something he would by law be required to show them. Rohloff has
held off of that decision as not to embarrass some applicants and their requests. City
Manager Rohloff stated that council makes the ultimate decision and council has awarded
them based on the staff's recommendation. The purpose of the memo tonight was to get
direction from council to narrow the recommendation list. If Council would like to review the
applications individually, please be aware that you will have applicants coming to council
meetings and pleading for the money.
Council Member Buelow feels DEI's input is important and would like DEI‘s input. Buelow
agrees that the City Manager should be reviewing the applications and making
recommendations to Council. Buelow also noted that if council reviewed all applications, it
would lead to lobbying from these applicants to specific council members to award the
ARPA funds. Buelow does not believe that council should be viewing all 51 applicants.
Council Member Larson agrees to all the points made by other council members but would
like to see all applications.
Council Member Stephenson agrees that staff should be giving the recommendations for
these applications. Stephenson also agrees that the four categories currently used as a
guideline are good. If Council wants to see all the applications by all means, let them look at
them, but noted that we should rely on staff for their recommendations. That is their job.
Mayor Mugerauer agrees with the four categories described as appropriate. Mugerauer
stated that it was never the intention that all applications would go to DEI. Specifically, DEI
would advise council in regard to equity concerns. Mugerauer also stated that it would be a
mistake if council went through the process of reviewing all applications.
Council Member Floam is not advocating for the process of all applicants appearing before
council but would welcome having an open discussion.
Council Member Nichols would like all applications to be reviewed along with the
recommendations from the City Manager to ensure that favored projects are not winning
over others.
Council Member Esslinger agrees with Nichols and Floam regarding reviewing applications. It
will not be easy, but it is our job stated Esslinger. The council has signed up for this, let's do our
job and get it done.
City Manager Rohloff reiterated the consensus he received as Council would like to see all
applicants sooner rather than later. Staff will put the applications on the website so council,
the public, and others can access them. Also, council would still like to see the
recommendations and scores from the City Manager. City Manager Rohloff plans to focus
on the four priority areas while recognizing that council has the final say and priority. If Council
would like DEI to weigh in on the applications, a special meeting will need to be called for
that board and commission because their next regularly scheduled meeting is Memorial Day.
Council Member Buelow recommends that a special meeting be called for DEI to take a
look at the applications.
Council Member Nichols would encourage DEI and other individuals to look at the
applications once they are posted on the website. Nicholas believes it is important for the
DEI committee to be specific as to what concerns they have.
Public Information Related to the Revaluation Process
City Manager Rohloff began this discussion by showing a short video of how the assessment
and tax formulas work/ are determined.
City Assessor Jodi Saint Charles summarized the current reevaluation process and what is
happening throughout the city regarding the reevaluation of properties. Saint Charles
reiterated that they are not setting the tax rate with this reevaluation. The tax rate is
dependent on other entities and our budget. This reevaluation process is required by state
law. Saint Charles noted that reevaluations should happen approximately every 5 years, but
the city is a little behind due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
City Manager Rohloff went on to explain that education is very important. Unfortunately,
most residents don't realize what is happening until they receive their assessment. Rohloff
went on to say that the tax rate depends on the budget, and as a suggestion to council,
Rohloff asked for direction as not to increase the budget higher than 4%. That amount would
give some dollar amount or figure to use in determining the tax rate.
Council Member Floam noted that a good guide for the council is, that we cannot control
what we cannot control, for example, the county, the school district, etc.... Keeping in mind
that everything is more expensive and everything is going up.
Council Member Nichols appreciated the effort that the assessor's office made regarding
public education. Nichols went on to suggest that maybe reevaluations should be done
sooner rather than later, and more frequently, so people can plan and build on that
expectation. Residents should get a better understanding of the process and how to dispute
their assessment.
City Assessor Saint Charles noted that if the reevaluation process was done every three
years, it would be an increased cost to taxpayers. St. Charles then went on to note that
property owners should contact the assessor's office if they have any questions or concerns
about the reevaluation process.
Mayor Mugerauer stated that the last reevaluation was done in 2017, and the one prior was
in 2005. The reason for the gap was a housing crisis and a global pandemic. Mugerauer
clarified that this reevaluation was not a surprise. The council has been talking about this for
the past four years. Mugerauer understands that many people do not watch the budget
process, but they can go back and watch the recorded videos. During every budget
process, this topic was brought up.
Council Member Esslinger thanked the assessor's office and wanted to note that these values
are not out of line. Esslinger reinstated that when the tax bill does go out, there are many
different entities that play a part in the tax rate and it is just not based entirely on the City of
Oshkosh. Citizens really need to pay attention, especially if the school district send through a
referendum. Citizens need to know what entities play a role and what percentage of taxes
go to them.

items marked with an asterisk (*) unless Council formally waives the rules.)
*Ord 24-288 Amend Chapter 2 Article II of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code Pertaining to
Election and Election Officials to Establish a Board of Absentee Ballot Canvassers
(Central Count Location for Absentee Ballots)
Mayor Mugerauer asked for clarification of what central count entailed.
City Clerk Bartlett responded that removing absentee ballot processing from polling
places to a centralized facility would make voting at the polling places more efficient
for citizens and poll workers. It will allow poll workers to be put into other positions to
serve the citizens voting in person at the polling place on Election Day. Bartlett also
confirmed that with a central count location, election data would remain within the
wards as voted.

Ord 24-290 Authorize Public Construction for Lake Butte des Morts Development, Phase 1; 3500
Block of Lake Butte des Morts Drive (Staff Recommends Waiving the Rules and
Adopting on First Reading)
Council Member Esslinger is not comfortable waiving the rules and adopting on
the first reading. Mr. Esslinger goes on to ask, from a staff perspective, is this
necessary to keep the project within the time line?
City Manager Rohloff explained that if you look at the agenda, there are many
items that are related to this subject. By waiving the rules, it would allow the
developers to move forward.
Community Developer Kelly Nieforth further explained when a developer is going
to be installing public improvements right away, they have to have all the items
included.
Council Member Esslinger asked if this couldn't have been handled earlier?
Mrs. Nieforth noted that certain parts of the contracts have to be met before
other parts can be determined. Also, staff prefers to keep all the components of
the contract on one agenda for the council to consider.
Director of Public Works James Rabe added they have been working with the
developer for several months to finalize the Developers Agreement.
Unfortunately, it has taken several months to get to this point.
Mayor Mugerauer agrees with council member Esslinger that there is a reason for
rules. Fortunately, these two items are regarding public construction and
establishing street grades, which he is confident to wave the rules and adopt.

Res 24-300 Direction to City Manager on the 2024 Property Tax Levy
Council Member Floam has concerns about moving the tax to 4%, especially
with the current cost of living. Floam would like the City Manager and Finance
Director to take a deeper dive on this year's budget and get more creative on
ways to lower the tax levy.
Deputy Mayor Buelow would like clarification from the City Manager before any
further discussion.
City Manager Rohloff said the purpose of this item on the agenda was not
necessarily for council to take action on this tonight, but it was to level the fears
of the community and get the discussion going. Once the re-evaluation and
budget hearings are complete, council will have more information.
Deputy Mayor Buelow clarified this would be serving as a cap, not a target, with
Mr. Rohloff agreeing.
Mayor Mugerauer explains this was a measure to calm the fears within the
public regarding the potential of their property tax increase and he wants to
assure that the council is not allowed an unlimited tax levy increase. He would
also like to thank the people who have put out some good reporting on this
topic. His suggestion is not to take any action on this item tonight.
Council Member Larson echoed everything that has been spoken and would
like to add he thinks the city staff has done a great job alleviating some of these
fears. He thinks they will work collectively as a group to get there.
Council Member Esslinger noted the council will have a better idea once
numbers come in and the council gets a clear indication of the budget and
what needs are necessary. Eslinger is not comfortable voting on this item tonight.
Council Member Floam sees the positives with this target and keeping the public
informed, though he does think it is too early to go in this direction.
The resolution was unanimously withdrawn.
Mr. Rohloff reminded council that commercial evaluations are scheduled to go
out on June 8th.
WITHDRAWN
COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER & FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
A. Update on 3rd Party Review of Municipal Ordinances for Building and Zoning
Codes
Community Development Director Kelly Nieforth provided information about
municipal ordinances for building and zoning codes that the city is required to
administer. By giving this information to council Ms. Nieforth believed that
providing this information to council would eliminate paying a 3rd party as
discussed in the April 23rd council meeting.
Council Member Nichols thanked Ms. Nieforth for sharing this information.
However, the information he would like to see is the metrics and data around
approvals and process failures. Nichols would like to see the numbers of permits
that are approved and the time it takes for those applications and inspections
to be approved. Council Member Nichols would like then to analyze what the
data shows. (is it really that difficult for residents and contractors to do business
with the city, or is that the perception). If the perception and data show the city
is doing really great, staff should work on a communication strategy.
Council Member Larson echoed Mr. Nichols statements. Mr. Larson noted that
using a third party was the direction for a starting point and would also take the
load off staff.
Mayor Mugerauer questioned when the latest strategic plan would be coming
out. Mugerauer feels this is important information that is needed by the council
for decision-making.
City Manager Rohloff stated the strategic plan should be available in June.
Rohloff goes on to say that he doesn't feel this is a building and zoning code
audit issue, but rather a problem with our processes. Since our processes have
not been updated in almost 15 years, they definitely need to be re-evaluated.
Council Member Floam stated that KPI's and processes are something that we
can control. Floam appreciates the work that has gone into this.
Mayor Mugerauer appreciates how staff is listening and working to meet the
expectations of the council.
Council Member Esslinger feels that most of the problems the city sees are due
to the interpretation of the rules. Esslinger would like to hear from city staff how
this can be handled.
Ms. Nieforth agreed with Mr. Esslinger and went on to say there are situations
where an architect or developer will interpret the code differently than staff.
Nieforth noted that the departments try to work together and compromise. The
staff understands that not every project will fit neatly into every code, and this is
going to be a continuous conversation.
City Manager Rohloff pointed out the city is faced with an issue about 5% of the
time. The city has fewer challenges going to the Board of Appeals because of
code improvements.
Planning Services Manager Mark Lions stated that prior to the zone code
update in 2017, the Board of Appeals was meeting twice a month, and people
were continuously asking for variances of the code. The last time the board met
was over a year ago. The 2017 update has been successful.
A. Undergrounding Utilities, date to be determined
COUNCIL MEMBER ANNOUNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS
Deputy Mayor Buelow shared a positive story of when talking with residents that
just moved to Oshkosh from North Carolina. The new residents moved into the
new development "The Wit" and loved it. They also recruited friends to move this
way from larger cities. As Mr. Buelow explained, the topic is always on
affordable living, which he is not denying, but also wanted to point out there is a
need for other options as well.
Mayor Mugerauer reminded residents the Menominee Zoo is open daily from 9-6
with free admission for all. The zoo has 8 acres, with 30 to 50 animals per season,
and sees over 100,000 visitors per year.

B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
Every three years, each self-insured political subdivision must provide the Wisconsin Department of
Workforce Development with a resolution, passed by the governing body that states its intent and
agreement to self-insure, in order to meet the requirements set forth in Wisconsin Administrative Code
DWD 80.60(3).
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Since the conversion from our fully insured plan to our partially self-insured plan, the City has realized
substantial savings. With this in mind, and in consideration of our current loss ratio, it would not be in the
City's best interest to pursue a change in worker's compensation funding methodology at this time.

B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The subject site is located at the northwest corner of West 17th Avenue and Oregon Street. The subject
parcel is about 6,750 sq. ft. in size and includes a residential unit in the upper level and an art studio in
one of the lower-level units. The site is surrounded by a mix of single-family and commercial uses. The site
went through a Conditional Use Permit approval for the current art studio in 2019, while the second lower-
level unit went through a Conditional Use Permit approval to be converted from a barber shop to a
coffee shop in 2022.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting approval of an Adaptive Reuse through a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
Amendment to establish a one-bedroom apartment in an existing lower-level unit that was previously
approved to be a coffee shop. According to the applicant, this unit never fully transitioned into a coffee
shop due to financial reasons and, therefore, that land use is no longer being considered.
The Adaptive Reuse approval is needed due to the ground floor area, as proposed for a residential use,
is 35%. The existing art studio and upper-level apartment are not changing. The parking area on the
property has 10 stalls that can be used for customer parking. There is also street parking available on
Oregon Street and West 17th Avenue. Although a slightly larger residential space for a mixed-use building
is proposed for the ground floor, Planning staff does not have concerns as the use of the property is
compatible with the surrounding commercial and residential uses.
The Inspection Services Department noted that the conversion from a commercial tenant space to an
apartment will likely require a sprinkler system to be installed and that all other building, HVAC, and
plumbing plans will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to building permit issuance.
Staff is supportive of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Amendment for an Adaptive Reuse as the
proposed overall Mixed-Use Building is an appropriate use for this site and should have a relatively low
impact on the surrounding area.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
Approval of this may result in a minor increase in the assessed property value for the site. The applicant is
anticipating spending approximately $10,000 on the proposed project.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested Conditional Use Permit Amendment for
the property at 1675 Oregon Street with the findings on June 4, 2024. Please see the attached staff report

ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is requesting approval of an Adaptive Reuse through a Conditional Use Permit
(CUP) Amendment to establish a one bedroom apartment in an existing lower level unit that was
previously approved to be a coffee shop. According to the applicant this unit never fully
transitioned into a coffee shop due to financial reasons, and therefore that land use is no longer
being considered.
Mixed use buildings can have no more than 30% of the ground floor for residential uses. The
Adaptive Reuse approval is needed due to the ground floor area, as proposed for a residential use,
is 35%. The existing art studio and upper level apartment are not changing. The parking area on
the property has 10 stalls that can be used for customer parking. There is also street parking
available on Oregon Street and West 17th Avenue. Although a slightly larger residential space for a
mixed use building is proposed for the ground floor, Planning Staff does not have concerns as the
use of the property is compatible with the surrounding commercial and residential uses.
The Inspection Services Department noted that the conversion from a commercial tenant space to
an apartment will likely require a sprinkler system to be installed and that all other building,
HVAC, and plumbing plans will need to be submitted for review and approval prior to building
permit issuance.
Staff is supportive of the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) Amendment for an Adaptive Reuse as the
proposed overall Mixed Use Building is an appropriate use for this site and should have a
relatively low impact on the surrounding area.

the criteria established by Chapter 30-382 (F)(3):
(1) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
(2) Would not result in a substantial or undue adverse impact on nearby property, the
character of the neighborhood, environmental factors, traffic factors, parking, public
improvements, public property or rights-of-way, or other matters affecting the public
health, safety, or general welfare.
(3) Maintains the desired consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and land use impacts
as related to the environs of the subject property.
(4) The conditional use is located in an area that will be adequately served by, and will not
impose an undue burden on, any of the improvements, facilities, utilities or services
provided by public or private agencies serving the subject property.
(5) The potential public benefits outweigh any potential adverse impacts of the proposed
conditional use, after taking into consideration the applicant’s proposal and any
requirements recommended by the applicant to ameliorate such impacts.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit Amendment for an Adaptive
Reuse as proposed with the findings listed above.

Mr. Perry opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Perry opened the public hearing and asked if the applicant wanted to make any statements.
Nilla Dee Oehlke, is the owner and instructor of the art studio at 1675 Oregon Street. I am looking
to keep the options open for local people to use the studio. I look to have people from across the
state. I want to be able to keep the studio open, and by having the apartment on the adjacent side,
it will substantiate having income coming in. Which will enable her to keep the art studio open. I
have worked with the Plan Commission before and they have been very agreeable and helpful. I
look to continue that relationship. I would appreciate your understanding in my wanting to keep
the studio open for the local community and beyond. Thank you very much.
Mr. Perry asked if other members of the public wished to speak.
Mr. Perry closed the public hearing.
There was no closing statement from the applicant.
Motion by Propp to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Kiefer.
Mr. Perry asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Motion carried 7-0.

The Existing Art Studio at 1677 Oregon is to remain as well as the single-unit apartment above the Art
Studio is also to remain. No Change with these to spaces.
The Proposed First Floor Apartment (1675 Oregon) previously was a Barber Shop (which was
transitioning into a coffee shop - but the owner decided against that idea due to financial reasons).
That is about it. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

ITEM: SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AMENDMENT FOR MONUMENT
SIGN AT 2130 SOUTH WASHBURN STREET
Plan Commission Meeting of June 4, 2024.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Signarama - Andy Wapneski
Owner: New Vision
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioner requests approval of a Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) amendment for a
monument sign at 2130 South Washburn Street.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information Property Location and Type:
The subject site is a 3.09-acre property located on the east side of South Washburn Street, south
of West 20th Avenue. The property is zoned Suburban Mixed-Use District with a Planned
Development Overlay (SMU-PD) and contains an office building. The surrounding area
consists of commercial uses to the south, industrial uses to the west, Highway 41 to the east,
and a cemetery to the north. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan recommends Interstate Commercial

ANALYSIS
Use
Plans were previously approved to convert the building to an optometry clinic (NEW Vision).
No changes are being proposed to the existing use of the site.
Site Design
No changes are being proposed to the existing site design.
Lighting
A photometric lighting plan has not been submitted with this request.
Signage
The applicant is proposing a new 10’ tall, 54 sq. ft. monument sign along South Washburn
Street, with a 10’ setback from the front property line. A base standard modification (BSM) is
required for reduced setback as 25’ setback is required for the SMU district. According to the
applicant, the reduced setback is needed as the existing parking lot is built out to the setback
line, restricting the ability to meet the setback requirement.
Submitted site plan
Staff is supportive of the requested BSM for reduced setback as it will be consistent with the
existing monument sign for the neighboring Fox World Travel site immediately to the south.
The Fox World Travel sign is 8’ tall, 56 sq. ft., and has a 6’ 6” front setback. Also, the proposed
sign is well under the maximum monument sign height of 15’ and maximum square footage of
1 sq. ft. per linear foot of street frontage (261 sq. ft.) for the SMU district.
Sign plan
Landscaping
A landscaping plan has not been provided. The approval of the Fox World Travel sign included
a condition that landscaping be planted around all sides of the monument sign and shall be
approved by the Department of Community Development. Staff is recommending that the
same condition be applied for the proposed monument sign to offset the BSM for reduced
setback.
Design Standards
No changes are being proposed to the existing building.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned
Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings
based on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6):
(a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose
and intent of this Chapter.
(b) The proposed architecture and character of the proposed Planned Development
project is compatible with adjacent/nearby development.
(c) The proposed Planned Development project will positively contribute to and not
detract from the physical appearance and functional arrangement of development in the
area.
Staff recommends approval of the Specific Implementation Plan amendment as proposed with
the findings listed above and the following conditions:
1. Base Standard Modification from the required 25’ sign front setback to 10’ for the
proposed monument sign.
2. Except as specifically modified by this Specific Implementation Plan Amendment, the
terms and conditions of the original Specific Implementation Plan dated January 23,
2018 (Resolution 18-62) and Specific Implementation Plan Amendment dated September
12, 2023 (Resolution 23-453) remain in full force and effect.
Plan Commission recommends approval of the Specific Implementation Plan
Amendment at 2130 South Washburn Street with the findings and conditions on June 4,
2024. The following is Plan Commission’s discussion on the item.

Mr. Perry opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Perry opened public comment and asked if the applicant wanted to make any statements.
Andy Wapneski, from Signarama, wants to know when the landscaping would need to be
completed. They are looking at completing in September or October, so would like to push the
landscaping to spring.
Mr. Lyons stated the ordinance would be set up to require planting in the following planting
season. So, if it is not completed until September or October, it would allow you to plant in the
spring. If you finish ahead of schedule, such as August, then you’d be required the plant this
fall.
Mr. Perry asked if any members of the public wished to speak.
Mr. Perry closed public comment.
There was no closing statement from the applicant.
Motion by Kiefer to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.

2130 S Washburn St
Oshkosh, WI 54904
Seeking a request to add a monument sign for New Vision. The current setback is set at 25’ from the
property line. If we were to go off this current setback, this would place the monument sign in the
parking lot. I have provided a site map and measurements as we are asking to reduce the setback on
this property. We are asking to be consistent with the placement of where Fox World Travel sign is
placed. From the map and measurements, it looks as if Fox World Travel is about 9’/10’ from their
property line. My proposal is that we would be 10’ from the property line of 2130 S. Washburn St. The
concession/compensation the client is giving up is square footage allowed for this sign on this side of the
building.

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 24-308 Authorize 2024 Grant Application -- Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Urban Forestry Grant
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has grant funds available in 2024 designated for urban
forestry projects. The City of Oshkosh meets several criteria for the grant and can receive funds from the
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) Urban Forestry Grant. These funds would be used to develop an urban forest
management plan for the City, complete an updated tree inventory, purchase and plant trees in the
public realm, and work with Oshkosh North High School to develop Akan Acres as an outdoor classroom.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The City of Oshkosh lags significantly behind its neighboring communities regarding tree canopy
coverage. For example, the City of Fond du Lac's tree canopy coverage is 17%, and the City of
Menasha's coverage is 19%, compared to the City of Oshkosh's tree canopy coverage of only 9%. In
addition to the low percentage of tree coverage, 55% of Oshkosh is considered disadvantaged as
determined in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Inflation Reduction Act Urban Forestry
eligibility map to apply for this funding. Developing an urban forestry management plan to address these
critical disparities is crucial to improving the conditions of the urban forest in Oshkosh.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
The requested grant amount is $387,200, and the funding is not contingent on providing any matching
funds.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION

B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The Common Council allocated $85,000.00 in the 2024 CIP for a step van vehicle for the General Services
Division. Due to extended ordering lead times for a step van, and in light of the increased and changing
responsibilities of Facilities Maintenance staff, it was determined that two pickup trucks would be a more
cost-effective solution to better meet the operational needs of the division.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Purchasing has confirmed that Ewald's Hartford Ford holds a State of Wisconsin cooperative contract for
Ford pickup trucks (contract #505ENT-M24-VEHICLES06). Utilizing this contract, the City will save
approximately 10.97% ($10,008.00) off of the list price for two pickup trucks. Purchasing has confirmed this
contract qualifies as cooperative purchasing exception to our purchasing ordinance.

B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The Fire Department has identified the need to replace its thermal imaging cameras (TICs). The Common
Council allocated $70,000.00 in the 2024 CIP for this project. At their May 28, 2024, meeting, the Common
Council approved waiving the purchasing requirements of Section 12-10 of the Oshkosh Municipal Code
as appropriate for staff to recommend TICs that are best suited to the operational needs and budgetary
requirements of the City.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Fire Department staff identified and researched companies that offer thermal imaging cameras,
including Mine Safety Appliance, FLIR, and Bullard. After a review comparing key criteria, including
performance during high heat conditions during fire conditions, and cooler temperatures during searches
of smoke-filled areas, staff concluded that the FLIR K65 cameras offer the best functions and features for
the operational needs of the department. Specifically, staff felt that the FLIR K65 offered a clearer picture
during all phases of fire operations, without the observed lag in some other brands, due to its rapid
processor speed, ability to switch between modes with gloved hands, photo and video recording
capabilities, and ergonomic design that staff found to be superior to all others.

2022 CIP, there was $20,000 of ARPA funds appropriated for this project. However, working with the

SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Res 24-314 Approve Purchase of Security Cameras from Hunter Security & Surveillance for
Public Museum ($38,682.58)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
Since 2016, the IT Division has been steadily standardizing all video surveillance hardware to be
compatible with the City's network video recording infrastructure. The infrastructure requires all cameras
to be manufactured by Axis Communications to ensure full compatibility and functionality. To date,
Hunter Security and Surveillance has designed and implemented security camera systems throughout a
variety of city facilities, including City Hall, the Safety Building, the Leach Amphitheatre, Pollack
Community Water Park, Menominee Park, the Parks Administration Building, the Field Operations Center,
the Fire Department, Transit Administration Building, Water Distribution, and both plants for Water Filtration
and Wastewater. The Common Council allocated $20,000 in the 2022 CIP to upgrade the video
surveillance hardware within the Oshkosh Public Museum.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Information Technology staff solicited a proposal from Hunter Security and Surveillance to upgrade the
Museum's camera system by using cameras compatible with the City's network video recording
infrastructure. As the City's value-added reseller (VAR) and authorized installer on record, Hunter Security
is able to obtain the best market pricing for Axis Communications compatible hardware. Since the
original project request several years ago, the surveillance industry has seen significant cost increases for
cameras and equipment, resulting in a higher project cost than initially anticipated. Purchasing has
confirmed this purchase qualifies as a standardization/compatibility exception to our purchasing
ordinance.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
The total fiscal impact of Hunter Security's proposal is $38,682.58. IT staff anticipates an additional
estimated $4,138.00 of network switches and fiber patch cables will need to be purchased to complete
this project, bringing the total fiscal impact of this project to $42,820.58. The 2022 CIP allocated $20,000.00
for this project, and Resolution 24-313 allocated an additional $23,000.00 in American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds for this project. This project would be charged to A/N#: 02241070 7214 15231 (Buildings and
Building Improvements- OPM Security System).
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code provides that, subject to approval of the City Manager, purchases
may be made without following a formal competitive bidding process when the purchase is from only
one source of supply or when standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration. In
accordance with Section 12-11 of the Municipal Code and with approval by the City Manager,
Purchasing recommends the Common Council approve this purchase from Hunter Security and
Surveillance, W7537 Molly Marie Court, Greenville, WI 54942 for the amount of $38,682.58. Please contact
me or IT Manager Tony Neumann if you have any questions concerning this agreement.

Election and Election Officials to Establish a Board of Absentee Ballot Canvassers (Central
Count Location for Absentee Ballots)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh has a proud tradition of citizens voting in large numbers. Historically, voter turnout in
the City exceeds the statewide average turnout for elections. More and more citizens are choosing to
vote absentee instead of voting at the polls in person.
Wisconsin law allows for citizens to vote absentee. Wisconsin has "no excuse" absentee voting, which
means a voter may cast an absentee ballot without providing a reason. The City has experienced an
increase in absentee voters and has had success with the new early absentee polling location at 19 E
Irving.
Currently, all absentee ballots are sorted by district/ward, and then delivered to the appropriate polling
locations on election day, at which time poll workers begin to process the absentee ballot. Two poll
workers are required to process every absentee ballot received at the polling place. The poll workers
must check the ballot envelope for defects, open the envelope, sort and organize the ballots, and
announce that they are placing absentee ballots into the tabulator. Poll workers often have to disrupt
voters who vote in person at the polls by creating lines at the check-in table and the tabulator.
The November General Election is expected to be very busy. In the last two presidential elections, the
City has had 8,813 (2016) and 18,035 (2020, during COVID-19 pandemic) absentee voters.
Wisconsin Statutes 7.52 and 7.53(2)(m) allow for the creation of a Board of Absentee Ballot Canvassers.
These individuals are appointed by the City Clerk to serve two-year terms. The Board of Absentee Ballot
Canvassers process all absentee ballots in the City at a central count location (CCL), regardless of ward.
To create a Board of Absentee Ballot Canvassers, the City Council must adopt an ordinance under State
Statutes 7.52 and 7.53(2)(m). The ordinance is required to be created at least 30 days prior to the election
for which it will be implemented.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
Removing absentee ballot processing from polling places to a centralized facility will make voting at the
polling places more efficient for citizens and poll workers. Chief Election Inspectors will no longer need to
dedicate two or more poll workers to process absentee ballots. This will allow those poll workers to be put
into other positions to serve the citizens voting in person at the polling place on Election Day.
Key benefits of establishing a central processing location include:
1. Res our c e O p t imiza t ionResource O p t imiza t ion : Establishing a CCL will provide relief for individual polling locations and their
respective poll workers. Poll workers will be able to focus on managing in-person voting, assisting
voters, and ensuring a smooth election-day experience without the added complexity of handling
and processing absentee ballots.
2. I mp roved E ffic ie ncyImproved E ffic ie ncy : Centralizing the processing of absentee ballots will help expedite the
verification and count process, and reduce delays at polling locations.
3. E nha nc e d Se c urit yEnhanced Se c ur it y : A designated central location will ensure enhanced security measures are in
place to safeguard the integrity of absentee ballots.
It is important to create a Board of Absentee Ballot Canvassers prior to the August Partisan Primary so
that the board can be appointed, trained, and have one election to work before the November
General Election.
Adoption of this Ordinance will allow for the Absentee Board of Canvassers to work the August Partisan
Primary and be better prepared for the November Presidential Election and all future elections in the City
of Oshkosh.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
The City recommends that the City Council adopt this ordinance creating a Board of Absentee Ballot
Canvassers.

Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD) for Properties Located at Jackson
Street South of Snell Road (Parcels 91250130000 & 91250130100) (Plan Commission
Recommends Approval)
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
The subject area included in the zone change request consists of two vacant parcels totaling 2.88 acres,
located on the west side of Jackson Street, south of West Snell Road. The surrounding area consists
primarily of commercial uses to the north, south, and east, along Jackson Street, with vacant/residential
uses to the west. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan recommends General Commercial land use for the
subject properties and adjoining parcels.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting this zone change to establish a Planned Development Overlay to provide
flexibility to the zoning ordinance for redevelopment of the subject property for a potential
industrial/storage land use. The applicant has submitted plans for potential contractor buildings, which
would not be permitted in the SMU district. In order to request a Base Standard Modification (BSM) to
allow the prohibited land use, the property must first be rezoned to include a Planned Development
Overlay. The applicant has not submitted an application for General Development Plan (GDP) or
Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) approval.
The conceptual site plan for contractor spaces was brought to a Plan Commission workshop on March
19, 2024. Plan Commission was open to the proposed use. The applicant intends to submit for GDP/SIP
review at a future date. It should be noted that this request is specifically for rezoning of the property
and does include review of the proposed future use or site design.
Staff is supportive of the proposed zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay as it may
serve to accommodate future development needs for the site. The Planned Development Overlay is also
beneficial as it will allow for further review of future plans to mitigate potential impacts on neighboring
residential properties to the west. The proposed SMU-PD zoning designation is also consistent with the
2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation (Interstate Commercial) as well as the neighboring
commercial land uses along Jackson Street.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
The Plan Commission recommended approval of the requested zone change for parcels 91250130000 &
91250130100 with findings on May 21, 2024. Please see the attached staff report and meeting minutes for

Plan Commission Meeting of May 21, 2024.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Barbara Young & James Darvin
Owner: Russ Young Properties LLC
Actions Requested:
The applicant requests a zone change from the existing Suburban Mixed Use District (SMU) to
Suburban Mixed Use District with a Planned Development Overlay (SMU-PD) for two
properties located at 0 Jackson Street (parcels 91250130000 & 91250130100).
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Zoning map amendment standards are found in Section 30-381 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information, Property Location and Type:
The subject area included in the zone change request consists of two vacant parcels totaling 2.88
acres, located on the west side of Jackson Street, south of West Snell Road. The surrounding
area consists primarily of commercial uses to the north, south, and east, along Jackson Street,
with vacant/residential uses to the west. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan recommends General
Commercial land use for the subject properties and adjoining parcels.

ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting this zone change to establish a Planned Development Overlay to
provide flexibility to the zoning ordinance for redevelopment of the subject property for a potential
industrial/storage land use. The applicant has submitted plans for potential contractor buildings,
which would not be permitted in the SMU district. In order to request a Base Standard
Modification (BSM) to allow the prohibited land use, the property must first be rezoned to include a
Planned Development Overlay. The applicant has not submitted an application for General
Development Plan (GDP) or Specific Implementation Plan (SIP) approval.
The conceptual site plan for contractor spaces was brought to a Plan Commission workshop on
March 19, 2024. Plan Commission was open to the proposed use. The applicant intends to submit
for GDP/SIP review at a future date. It should be noted that this request is specifically for rezoning
of the property and does include review of the proposed future use or site design.
Rezone to SMU-PD
Staff is supportive of the proposed zone change to include a Planned Development Overlay as it
may serve to accommodate future development needs for the site. The Planned Development
Overlay is also beneficial as it will allow for further review of future plans to mitigate potential
impacts on neighboring residential properties to the west. The proposed SMU-PD zoning
designation is also consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan recommendation
(Interstate Commercial) as well as the neighboring commercial land uses along Jackson Street.
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Zoning Map
amendment, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based on the
criteria established by Chapter 30-381 (D)(2):
(a) Advances the purposes of this Chapter as outlined in Section 30-03 and the
applicable rules of Wisconsin Department of Administration and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
(b) Is in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) Maintains the desired overall consistency of land uses, land use intensities, and
land use impacts within the pertinent zoning districts.
(d) Addresses any of the following factors that are not properly addressed on the
current Official Zoning Map:
(ii) Factors have changed (such as new data, infrastructure, market conditions,
development, annexation, or other zoning changes), making the subject
property more appropriate for a different zoning district.
Staff recommends approval of the zone change with the findings listed above.
Plan Commission recommends approval of the requested zone change at 0 Jackson Street
(parcels 91250130000 & 91250130100) with the findings and conditions on May 21, 2024. The

Authority of the City Attorney
B A C KGRO UN DBACKGROUND
Listservs are email-based groups that serve as a community forum for the discussion of specific topics.
Listservs have been in use for about 30 years.
In the legal realm, listservs allow attorneys to share information and to ask questions within a group of
other attorneys interested in the same topic. The City Attorney's office currently participates in several
listserv forums through the State Bar of Wisconsin, the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, and the
International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA). The listservs that the City Attorney's office uses are
subscription services that are limited to attorneys and, in the case of the League and IMLA, are limited to
attorneys who are currently practicing municipal law.
A recent ethics opinion of the American Bar Association (ABA) addressed the use of listservs in relation to
those situations where use by an attorney would result in a reasonable likelihood that the identity of the
attorney's client and information related to the representation of the client would be revealed. Even in
circumstances where the information may be generally known, the opinion questions the ability of the
attorney to speak in relation to the matter on a listserv without the informed consent of the client. The
opinion raises issues in relation to other contexts as well, including discussion at conferences, roundtable
discussions, consulting with our municipal counterparts individually on specific issues and topics, and in
relation to providing information to the League or other partners on matters.
In the past, we have used the listserv to connect with other municipalities that may be looking at similar
ordinances or already have an ordinance in place in relation to a topic we are currently reviewing.
During COVID, municipalities discussed various options for virtual meetings and best practices for
transitioning to virtual work when necessary. We have interacted with other municipal attorneys on a one-
on-one basis, as well as with other prosecutors on nuisance actions, OWI, and other prosecution topics
and have benefited from sharing motions and briefs. We have talked through elections and redistricting
issues, and we use forms that were developed collaboratively through the League listserv for police hiring.
These are just a few examples of how we have contributed to and benefited from the listservs.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
As city attorneys, our participation in nearly any discussion would likely result in the disclosure of the
identity of our client, given the fact that we have a single client: the City of Oshkosh. Participation in
listservs, as well as the weekly Wisconsin municipal attorney conference call, conference session
discussions, and roundtables, has kept us abreast of issues other municipalities may be facing and what
they may be doing in regard to certain issues. It has also allowed us to ask questions and share
information with other municipalities in relation to common issues or concerns, and share forms, pleadings,
and other information. The listserv has often connected us with other municipalities that are dealing with
the same issues and concerns, and made us aware of how other municipalities may be approaching
similar issues, as well as allowing us access to expertise. It has been an efficient, cost-saving tool for us to
connect and collaborate with other municipalities and to stay informed on municipal topics and litigation
on a statewide and national level. Separately, we may be aware that a certain municipality has dealt
with a specific issue in the past and directly contacted our counterparts to discuss that issue.
The recent ABA opinion has called into significant question the ability to use listservs, as well as to
generally exchange information with our counterparts and other attorneys and governmental resources.
The State Bar of Wisconsin Ethics Division was consulted by the League Municipal Attorneys Section and
indicated that one potential option for municipal attorneys would be to obtain informed consent to allow
the continued use of listservs and allow the municipality's attorneys to share information.
Without consent, the City Attorney's office will still attend conferences and monitor legislation and legal
topics, but will be limited in participation within the listserv, the weekly conference call, and other
discussions, which have provided valuable real-time information and input pertaining to current topics.
The likely result of this may be additional time spent on topics and issues, less information sharing with
other municipalities, and potentially needing to rely more heavily on paid outside counsel.
It should be noted that the consent sought is not unlimited. The ordinance as drafted recognizes,
consistent with our current practices, that certain items will still remain confidential and will require specific
consent for disclosure. Some examples of information that would remain confidential without specific
authority would include details of current or anticipated bargaining positions, or current or anticipated
litigation, disciplinary matters, and disputes with other municipalities that may also participate in the
discussion forum. The ordinance would authorize the City Manager to generally provide that consent
and, consistent with current practice, if there is a particular topic that may require additional thought or
direction, we would schedule a closed session and seek the consent of Common Council moving
forward.
In addition to this change, we are proposing to add specific language pertaining to assistant city
attorneys and include those attorneys within this authorization as well.
FI SC A L I M P A CTFISCAL I M P A C T
It would be difficult to estimate the exact fiscal impact in relation to the proposed ordinance. Approval
of the ordinance would maintain the status quo and would likely have no fiscal impact. Failure to
approve the ordinance may negatively affect the efficiency of the City Attorney's office by removing the
ability of the staff to easily communicate and collaborate with other attorneys and resources on
municipal matters, potentially resulting in additional time spent researching topics and potentially a
greater reliance on paid outside counsel.
REC O M M E N D A TI ONRECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance granting informed consent for collaboration with other
municipal attorneys and other attorneys and legal resources such as the State Bar of Wisconsin for the
benefit of the City of Oshkosh.

Commercial land use for the subject property and the adjoining parcels.
A N A L Y SI SANALYSIS
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and parking lot on the subject site for
development of a drive-through restaurant (Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers). The proposed drive-
through restaurant is permitted in the SMU district. The plans also include an outdoor seating area on the
front of the building, which is considered outdoor commercial entertainment and is permitted in the SMU
district. The proposed development will be accessed from a two-way entrance/exit to the site and will
utilize a shared two-way driveway to the north of the site. The site will also have shared driveway access
along the rear (west) property line.
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the site to discuss the project; however no neighbors
were in attendance. The applicant coordinated a second, in person/virtual, meeting where the plans
were discussed with the neighboring property owners who did not receive the first meeting invitation. The
applicant has provided a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed site design. According to the TIA,
repurposing the two existing driveways, which will access Freddy's, are expected to operate safely and
efficiently. The drive-through lane is not expected to back up beyond the available storage, as shown in
the site plan, based on other similar Freddy's restaurants in Wisconsin.

PLAN FOR A DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANT LOCATED AT 555 SOUTH
WASHBURN STREET
Plan Commission Meeting of June 4, 2024.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant: Ben Witt
Owner: Park Place Holdings LLC
Action(s) Requested:
The petitioner requests General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan approval
for a drive-through restaurant at 555 South Washburn Street.
Applicable Ordinance Provisions:
Planned Development standards are found in Section 30-387 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Background Information Property Location and Type:
The subject area included in this request consists of a 0.99-acre commercial property located on
the west side of South Washburn Street, north of West 9th Avenue. The site had previously been
utilized as a multi-tenant office building. The surrounding area consists primarily of commercial
uses along with a City water tower and fire station immediately to the south. The 2040
Comprehensive Plan recommends Interstate Commercial land use for the subject property and
the adjoining parcels.

ANALYSIS
Use
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and parking lot on the subject site
for development of a drive-through restaurant (Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers). The
proposed drive-through restaurant use is permitted in the SMU district. The plans also include
an outdoor seating area on the front of the building, which is considered outdoor commercial
entertainment and is permitted in the SMU district.
Site Design
Site Plan
The proposed development will be accessed from a two-way entrance/exit to the site and will also
utilize a shared two-way driveway to the north of the site. The site will also have shared
driveway access along the rear (west) property line. The applicant has provided an easement
document and stated that they have the ability to utilize the existing driveway. As this is a civil
matter regarding property access, the City does not have the ability to review or enforce the
provided easement document.
Staff has received concerns regarding the access to/from the drive-through from the neighboring
driveway to the north, as neighboring property owners had concerns regarding stacking and
congestion of the shared driveway. The applicant held a neighborhood meeting at the site to
discuss the project, however no neighbors were in attendance. Following the meeting, staff was
notified that some of the neighboring property owners did not receive the invitation. The
applicant coordinated a second, in person/virtual, meeting where the plans were discussed with
the neighboring property owners who did not receive the first meeting invitation.
The applicant has provided a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed site design.
According to the TIA, the repurpose of the two existing driveways, which will access Freddy’s,
are expected to operate safely and efficiently. The drive-through lane is not expected to back up
beyond the available storage, as shown in the site plan, based on other similar Freddy’s
restaurants in Wisconsin.
The applicant is requesting base standard modifications (BSM) for reduced front and rear yard
setbacks. As proposed, a portion of the parking lot will extend into the front yard to within 16’ of
the right-of-way line. The proposed refuse enclosure placement will have a 1’ setback from the
rear (west) property line. According to the applicant, the reduced setbacks are needed due to an
ANR pipeline easement running through property which prohibits permanent structures from
being placed within the easement.
Staff does not have concerns with the setback reductions as the ANR easement limits the
buildable area on the site. Also, the refuse enclosure will be abutting a neighboring parking area
with shared driveway access. The reduced parking setback is also needed to provide the
necessary parking for the site. The proposed setbacks will be consistent with reduced setbacks on
the existing site.
Required Provided
Front Setback (east) 25 ft. min. 16 ft.
Side Setback (north) 10 ft. min. 14 ft. (parking)
Side Setback (south) 10 ft. min. 10 ft. (parking)
Rear Setback (west) 25 ft. min. 1 ft. (pavement/refuse
enclosure)
Parking Min. 10 spaces
Max. 25 spaces 25 spaces
Impervious Surface 70% max. 54.5%
Provided parking for the site meets the code requirement of 1 parking space per 300 sq. ft. of
gross floor area for restaurant uses. The maximum number of parking stalls is 125% of the code
minimum. However, up to 25 parking spaces are permitted for smaller developments that would
have a maximum of less than 25 spaces. The applicant is proposing the maximum number of
stalls allowed (25). Staff has received concerns that parking on the site will be insufficient to meet
the needs of the restaurant and will result in overflow parking on the neighboring commercial
sites. Staff feels that the provided parking will be sufficient as it more than doubles the minimum
parking requirement per code.
The proposed site layout is meeting the drive-through stacking length requirements of 100 ft. in
front of each order station, 55 ft. between the order station and pick-up window, and 25 ft. after
the pick-up window. The total proposed impervious surface area for the site is under the
maximum of 70% for the SMU district.
Signage
The building elevations show wall signage on the front and side facades. Wall signage will be
limited to a maximum of 1 sq. ft. per linear foot of building frontage per the sign ordinance. The
applicant is proposing to remove the existing pylon sign and replace it with a new pylon sign.
The proposed sign placement is within the 10’ side yard setback, at 3’ from the south property
line.
The applicant is requesting a BSM for the reduced setback as site constraints related to the ANR
pipeline easement limit available area that meet setback requirements. Staff does not have
concerns with the proposed BSM as the parking lot will be built to the south side setback and the
sign placement will be consistent with that of the existing site. The side yard setback reduction
for the sign should not have a negative impact on the adjoining City-owned property to the
south. The sign will need to meet the front yard setback requirement and will be limited to 35’ in
height and 200 sq. ft. per SMU standards.
Lighting
The provided photometric plan meets minimum lighting levels of 0.4 fc for parking/drive areas
except for the western drive lane area. The applicant will need to verify that code-compliant
lighting is provided for this area, which can be addressed during Site Plan Review. Lighting
levels along the public right-of-way are under the maximum of 1.0 fc, but exceed the maximum of
0.5 fc along the north and south property lines. The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow
increased lighting to 0.75 fc along the north property line and 0.99 fc along the south property
line. According to the applicant, the increased lighting is needed due to limited available area for
light pole placement. Staff does not have concerns with the increased lighting level along the
north property line as it is adjacent to a shared driveway and is only minimally exceeding the
code maximum. Staff also does not have concerns with the increased lighting along the south
property line as it is adjacent to the Oshkosh Fire Dept. property. The Fire Dept. is supportive of
the increased lighting level at the property line. Light fixtures will be full cutoff fixtures mounted
at the maximum fixture height of 23’ (including 3’ high base) in the SMU district.
Storm Water Management
The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water
management for the site. Final storm water management plans will be reviewed during the Site
Plan Review process.
Landscaping
Landscaping is required for building foundations, paved areas, street frontage, and yards.
Landscape Plan
Building Foundation
The building foundation landscaping point requirement of 40 landscaping points per 100 linear
feet of building foundation is being met for the proposed building. The plan is meeting the
requirement that 50% of the required points be on the main entrance side of the building. The
applicant will need to relocate one of the medium evergreen shrubs to the street side of the
building to meet the requirement that 25% of required points be along the street facing side. This
can be addressed during Site Plan Review.
Paved Area
The paved area requirement of 50 landscaping points per 10 parking stalls or 10,000 sq. ft. of
paved area is being met. The plan is also meeting the requirement that 30% of all points will be
devoted to tall trees and 40% will be devoted to shrubs. Code also requires a shade tree at all
parking row ends, which has been provided with the exception of the parking row end at the
northeast corner of the site. This can also be addressed during Site Plan Review.
Street Frontage
Code requires 100 points per 100 feet of street frontage. The landscaping ordinance also specifies
that 50% of the required points must be devoted to medium trees. The landscaping plan is
meeting these requirements.
Yards
Code requires 20 landscaping points per 1,000 sq. ft. of gross floor area. The provided yard
landscaping points exceed this requirement.
The plan currently provides 117% of the required landscaping points. As multiple base standard
modifications are being requested, staff is recommending the applicant provide 125% of the
required landscaping to offset the BSMs. This would result in an additional 40 landscaping
points and would be consistent with the level of landscaping that has typically been
requested/approved to compensate for BSMs.
Building Facades
Section 30-243 of the zoning ordinance requires commercial buildings to be clad in 50% Class I
materials, with the rear façade being exempt from this requirement. The petitioner has provided
elevations for the building as well as a material list and material breakdown for the front and side
façades. The specific elevations breakdown is listed below. The elevations meet the 50% Class I
material requirement and substantially exceed the Class I requirement on the front facade. This
serves to offset requested BSMs. The proposed refuse enclosure will be clad in fiber cement
composite wood siding to match material used on the principal building.
East (front): Class I – 62.9% Class II & III – 37.1%
South (side): Class I – 50.7% Class II & III – 49.3%
North (side): Class I – 50.7% Class II & III – 49.3%
West (rear): Not provided
FINDINGS/RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS
In its review and recommendation to the Common Council on an application for a Planned
Development district, staff recommends the Plan Commission make the following findings based
on the criteria established by Chapter 30-387 (C)(6):
(a) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the overall purpose and
intent of this Chapter.
(b) The proposed Planned Development project is consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan and other area plans. (It is the responsibility of the City to determine
such consistency.)
(c) The proposed Planned Development project would maintain the desired relationships

where code requires a 10 ft. side yard setback.
4. A minimum of 125% of the required landscaping points shall be provided.
5. Base Standard Modification to allow increased lighting level to 0.75 fc at the north
property line and 0.99 fc at the south property line, where code allows a maximum
lighting level of 0.5 fc.
6. Final landscaping, lighting, and signage plans shall be reviewed and approved by the
Department of Community Development.
Plan Commission recommends approval of the General Development Plan and Specific
Implementation Plan for a drive-through restaurant with the findings and conditions on
June 4, 2024. The following is Plan Commission’s discussion on the item.
Site Inspections Report: Ms. Propp, Ms. Scheuermann, Ms. Davey, Mr. Ulrich, and Mr. Kiefer
reported visiting the site.
Staff report accepted as part of the record.
The petitioner requests General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan approval
for a drive-through restaurant at 555 South Washburn Street.
Mr. Slusarek presented the items and reviewed the site and surrounding area as well as the land
use and zoning classifications in this area. The subject area included in this request consists of a
0.99-acre commercial property located on the west side of South Washburn Street, north of West
9th Avenue. The site had previously been utilized as a multi-tenant office building. It is zoned
SMU District with a Planned Development Overlay.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and parking lot on the subject site
for development of a new drive-through restaurant (Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers).
The proposed drive-through restaurant use is permitted in the SMU district. The plans also
include an outdoor seating area on the front of the building, which is considered outdoor
commercial entertainment and is permitted in the SMU district.
The proposed development will be accessed from a two-way entrance/exit to the site and will also

notified that some of the neighboring property owners did not receive the invitation. The
applicant coordinated a second, in person/virtual, meeting where the plans were discussed with
the neighboring property owners who did not receive the first meeting invitation.
The applicant has provided a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed site design.
According to the TIA, the repurpose of the two existing driveways, which will access Freddy’s,
are expected to operate safely and efficiently. The drive-through lane is not expected to back up
beyond the available storage, as shown in the site plan, based on other similar Freddy’s
restaurants in Wisconsin.
The applicant is requesting base standard modifications (BSM) for reduced front and rear yard
setbacks. As proposed, a portion of the parking lot will extend into the front yard to within 16’ of

the pick-up window. The total proposed impervious surface area for the site is under the
maximum of 70% for the SMU district.
The building elevations show wall signage on the front and side facades. Wall signage will be
limited to a maximum of 1 sq. ft. per linear foot of building frontage per the sign ordinance. The
applicant is proposing to remove the existing pylon sign and replace it with a new pylon sign.
The proposed sign placement is within the 10’ side yard setback, at 3’ from the south property

for the sign should not have a negative impact on the adjoining City-owned property to the
south. The sign will need to meet the front yard setback requirement and will be limited to 35’ in
height and 200 sq. ft. per SMU standards.
The applicant is requesting a BSM to allow increased lighting to 0.75 fc along the north property

property. The Fire Dept. is supportive of the increased lighting level at the property line.
The applicant has been in contact with the Department of Public Works regarding storm water
management for the site. Final storm water management plans will be reviewed during the Site
Plan Review process.
The building foundation landscaping point requirement of 40 landscaping points per 100 linear

refuse enclosure will be clad in fiber cement composite wood siding to match material used on
the principal building.
Staff recommends approval of the General Development Plan and Specific Implementation Plan
with the findings and conditions listed in the staff report.
Mr. Perry opened up technical questions to staff.
Mr. Kiefer asked if the driveway goes all around the building to the west.
Mr. Lyons said the driveway loops around the building and heads back north. He also
mentioned there are shared access drives that go to the buildings behind it.
Ms. Scheuermann asked what the purpose of asking for 125% of landscaping points when they
have 117 already.
Mr. Lyons said that staff has consistently seen 125% as the standard for when there is reduction of
setbacks and increased BSMs that other developments have been held to.
Ms. Scheuermann asked if the Traffic Impact Analysis was something that the applicant did on
their own and not something that was required by the city.
Mr. Lyons said that the applicant did the TIA as a requirement of the city. Any time there is a
planned development, the city does have the ability to require a TIA. Given some of the feedback
and concerns that were brought up from adjoining property owners, staff felt that it was
warranted to require it in relation to how it would function for the north access drive.
Ms. Davey asked if there was a neighborhood meeting.
Mr. Lyons replied that there was an in-person meeting offered that was not attended possibly due
to miscommunication. There was a second virtual / in person meeting offered following that, and
it was attended.
Mr. Perry opened public comment and asked if the applicant wanted to make any statements.
Corey Vanevenhoven; Park Place Holdings LLC, 179 Marion Avenue. Mr. Vanevenhoven said
that they worked with civil engineering and did multiple revisions and the TIA. He believes that
they have resolved any issues that the neighbors might have had. The applicant is also willing to
assist more with the easement and share ongoing maintenance.
Mr. Perry asked if any members of the public wished to speak.
Chris Keller; ENT Specialists, 515 South Washburn Street. Mr. Keller said that building tenants
are looking forward to a drive-through restaurant joining the area. He said that Park Place
Holdings has been responsive to their concerns, and they are happy with the TIA that was
completed. He is support of this project and with the Plan Commission’s request for 125& points
of landscaping.
Mr. Perry closed public comment.
There was no closing statement from the applicant.
Motion by Scheuermann to adopt the findings and recommendation as stated in the staff report.
Seconded by Kiefer.
Mr. Perry asked if there was any discussion on the motion.
Ms. Propp said that this sounds like an excellent result based on the ability to get the neighbors
and developer together.
Mr. Ulrich said that he would appreciate more plantings.
Ms. Davey said that she appreciates the neighbor’s participation and coming to a resolution.
Motion carried 7-0.

Division of Roles, Municipality Magazine, June 2024
The Municipality - June 2024 | 9
Municipal elected officials and staff should understand and
respect their individual roles and boundaries regarding policy
development and implementation. In general, elected officials
collectively decide policy issues for the municipality. A key
word in the prior sentence is “collectively.” Individual trustees
and alderpersons are part of a multi-member governing body
that collectively makes policy decisions for the municipality.
Individual alderpersons and trustees have no power to instruct,
order, or give direction to staff unless the governing body has
delegated such authority to the individual.
Governing body approved policy directives are typically
communicated to the mayor, municipal manager, administrator,
or department heads, who then provide appropriate direction
to staff to follow up. Staff are responsible for implementing the
governing body’s policy direction.
While mayors, city and village managers, and municipal
administrators often prepare and propose policies, their basic
authority is to carry out the governing body’s directives and
to implement the policy adopted by councils and village
boards. They can have a strong influence on the policy-making
process. For example, they often propose budgets, oversee
the studies and analyses carried out by staff, and make policy
recommendations to governing bodies.
Policymaking activities typically performed by municipal
governing bodies include the development of a vision for the
community, the adoption of community goals and objectives,
the adoption of comprehensive plans, decisions about
which programs and services will be provided by the local
government, the adoption of budgets and capital improvement
plans, and the passage of health, safety, and general welfare
ordinances. Public policy determines what services will be
provided to residents, the level of those services, and how
those services will be paid for. It also refers to what kinds of
development will occur in the community, and it determines
the community’s future.
For local governments to function well, elected officials need
to receive high-quality policy advice from the administrator or
manager and other staff.
Likewise, while elected officials should not be engaged in
the day-to-day operations of government, their oversight
responsibilities and role in establishing the vision for the
community are critical for the success of the local government.
As the graphic below illustrates, there will always be some
overlap between policy and administration. The division
between policy formulation and implementation is not always
clear or precise. Therefore, open communication between
local elected officials and staff is critical. It is important for
executives, governing body members, and key staff to develop
ways to communicate and work together effectively.
A few best practices to guide elected officials working
with staff:
• Make it a point to get to know and trust key staff.
• Competent staff can be a tremendous help in developing
policy ideas, structuring good processes, and generally
keeping elected officials out of trouble.
• Treat staff respectfully, even when you are disappointed or
frustrated with performance.
• As a general matter, asking staff for special favors - even
those that do not benefit you personally - puts staff in an
awkward situation. Staff generally are dedicated to their
jobs and want to work with the elected officials to improve
their communities. Forcing them to choose between
doing something an elected official wants them to do and
established municipal practices, protocols, priorities, and
policy erodes that trust.
• W hile it is appropriate for governing body members to ask
staff questions or request information, frequent or time-

consuming inquiries unreasonably take staff away from their
day-to-day duties. Such inquiries may be better channeled
through the mayor, administrator, or a department head.
Local ordinances or policies may expressly prohibit governing
body members from interfering or harassing staff but are rare.
The City of Madison, for example, recently adopted a policy
that includes the following language:
Council members shall not attempt to unethically influence or coerce
City staff concerning either their actions or recommendations to
Council about personnel, purchasing, awarding contracts, selection
of consultants, processing of development applications, or the
granting of City licenses and permits.

The League/League Insurance Spring Conference was held in Wisconsin Dells in
April. We celebrated 40 years since the formation of the Insurance Trust. League
Mutual Insurance raffled off two $10,000 safety grants. Congratulations to our
winners, Watertown and Rhinelander!
League Mutual Insurance also distributed $1.5 million in dividends to member
policyholders. The annual dividend checks are funds being returned to the
League’s more than 500 policyholders. The dividends are the result of lower
claims and positive investment results. “The strength of League Mutual
Insurance will always be in the people and mission that drives us to be the
best insurance program for Wisconsin municipalities,” said League Insurance
President and City of Rice Lake Clerk/Treasurer Kathy Morse in the annual
report to policyholders.
The dividends are being distributed to policyholders now. Individual
dividend amounts are determined by a formula that takes into account each
policyholder’s overall premium payments and their claim experience. Being
able to return tens of millions of dollars to policyholders over the years, speaks
to the strength of League Insurance as a company, with a policyholder surplus
that exceeds $53 million. Policyholder surplus is an important protection
against major losses and is considered an important measure of a company.
“The League Insurance Company has been a tremendous success for
our members over the last 40 years,” said League Insurance CEO Matt
Becker. “With a board of directors made up of our members, we have a
program that exists solely for their benefit. Keeping our members as the
center of everything we do has been, and will always be, the key to our
collective success.”
League Insurance is a mutual insurance company established by the League
during a time when many for-profit insurance companies were turning their
backs on local governments, considering them too risky. League Mutual
Insurance provides workers’ compensation, liability, cyber, crime, and auto
insurance for members of the League of WI Municipalities, including special
districts and municipal utilities. League Insurance is also a one-third owner of
Municipal Property Insurance Company (MPIC), which insures the property of
most of Wisconsin’s cities and villages. Becker said both companies are focused
on long-term stability and meeting the unique needs of municipal government.
