Work: ih 11q� OSHKOSH Mr. Mark Rohloff City Manager City of Oshkosh 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, WI 54903 -1130 Dear Mr. Rohloff, TM I am writing to request city services for an event to be held on Saturday, October 17, 2009 in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh's Homecoming celebration. A new Tour de Titan bike ride open to the community will replace the University's traditional Homecoming parade. We are envisioning an approximately 60 minute ride through the city in two by two formation departing at 10 a.m. from the UW Oshkosh Student Recreation and Wellness Center (SRWC) and ending at our Tent City pregame festival, south of the Oshkosh Sports Complex on Josslyn Street. We want to ensure a safe and successful event which is why we are requesting city assistance. Tour de Titan organizers believe the purpose of the ride ties nicely to results of the Oshkosh vision survey, specifically the fact that the majority of participants indicated they want to see the creation of a more bicycle - friendly Oshkosh, adopt initiatives that promote healthy choices for residents and pursue sustainability efforts. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached at (920) 424 -0625 or via e -mail at gantnerguwosh.edu Many thanks for your consideration. Sincerely Christine Gantner Director of Alumni Relations We are tentatively considering the following bike route departing from the UW Oshkosh Student Recreation and Wellness Center: Pearl to Rockwell to High to Main to 9th to Koeller to Witzel to Wisconsin to Pearl (stopping at the SRWC to pick up families and novice riders) and then Pearl to Wisconsin to Witzel to Josslyn ending at Tent City, our Homecoming pregame celebration. We are not envisioning that any streets would need to be closed but rather will potentially need police escorts (perhaps police bicycle fleet). We can also modify this proposed route, if necessary. ,- --/ - -- - --- - ku, , / v - FMA (y2U) 424 - N10 • E-MAIL alumni(guwosh.edu An Equal Opportunity /Affirmative Action Institution • www.uwosh.edu Special Olympics Wisconsin Fox Valley Area March 30, 2009 Oshkosh Parks Department Attn: Trish 215 Church Ave. Oshkosh, WI 54901 Dear Oshkosh City Council: Special Olympics Wisconsin — Fox Valley Area would like to request the use of Menominee Park — Millers Bay area for our annual Polar Plunge event to be held on Saturday, February 20, 2010.

Over 1600 individuals took the Polar Plunge, an increase of over 500 Plungers from 2008. The event continues to grow and Menominee Park proved to be the perfect location to accommodate the layout of the event. The Polar Plunge will celebrate its 10` anniversary in 2010 and Special Olympics plans to celebrate by adding a larger family entertainment tent with more focus on new activities for children and families. Set -up for the event would begin on Wednesday, February 17` with 4 -5 tents to be set up of various sizes.
