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.
