E PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OCTOBER 13, 2009 Mr. Koeppler explained that Mr. Guenther was present at the Plan Commission and was the only resident that voiced an objection. He stated that Mr. Guenther implied that it was the consensus of the neighborhood to reject the original plan and approve the changes.

Mayor Esslinger stated that the revised plan needed to be reviewed by the Plan Commission. He questioned if the Plan Commission did not have a quorum what was the next step. Ms. Lorenson explained that it would come back to Council at the suggested date with a memo that the Plan Commission did not meet. 5 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OCTOBER 13, 2009 Council Member McHugh stated that the plan was improved and did not understand why it would not be supported. He stated that he would not support a layover due to the delay for the developer. Council Member Tower stated that he opposed the layover motion due to the Plan Commission vote on the original plan was four to three. He explained that all of the issues for the denial had been changed and the delay was not beneficial to the developer. Deputy Mayor Palmeri stated that if Council approved the proposal it would set precedence. He explained that Council would be voting on a proposal without recommendation as the Plan Commission had not reviewed the revised plan. Mayor Esslinger stated that he would support a layover due to the changes in the proposal and the importance for the residents to review the new plan. Resolution 09 -392 Direct the City Manager to Continue to Pursue Options for City use of Westhaven Golf Course for Storm Water Management Purposes MOTION: ADOPT (King; second, Tower) LOST: Noes (7) Palmeri, King, Poeschl, Tower, McHugh, Buchholz, Mayor Esslinger Ron Akin, 2451 Newport Court, showed Council pictures of his neighborhood and that area flooded in June 2008. He stated that they were flooded in 2004 and 2008. He reminded Council that their concern was for the safety of the citizens of the City. He explained that there needed to be larger storm water pipes installed and improve the water flow in the Campbell Creek and Sawyer Creek water sheds. He stated that due to the flooding; property values had decreased and insurance policies had increases or been denied. He stated that in 2000 engineers were hired and advised water detention ponds be installed west of South Oakwood Road and the City had not moved forward. He urged for installation of storm water pumps to remove storm water from rain falls and recommended drawing down the lake in March or April for spring run off; penalties for residents that rake leaves into the roads and gutters and stop residents from emptying sump pumps into the sanitary sewers. He stated that the retention ponds were needed on the golf course and would improve the beauty and esthetics. Rob Hartley, 1711 Punhoqua Street, stated that he had been a resident of Oshkosh for forty plus years and if Westhaven was the only choice, the City should make it the greenest, eco friendly and most beautiful park in the state of Wisconsin. He stated that a golf course operated by the City should be on the water as the slogan states "Oshkosh on the Water" and questioned why Lakeshore Golf Course was not promoted better. Pete Kersztyn, 271 Greenfield Trail, questioned if a wet retention pond could be changed to a dry retention pond. He stated that a dry retention pond would be adequate for the golf course. He questioned the capacity a wet retention pond could detain and if it was a hazard. He urged the Council to work with the Department of Natural Resources in obtaining a permit for work on Sawyer Creek. He questioned if Sawyer Creek could be cleaned and pave the walls with rocks. Il PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OCTOBER 13, 2009 Terri Brath, 2504 Village Lane, stated her concerns with the safety of children regarding the ponds, the pollution that would be pumped out would go in her back yard and who would be responsible if her backyard flooded due to the ponds overflowing. She explained if the course changed colleges and high schools would no longer be allowed to golf on the course due to their regulation of the number of par threes. Kaye Watkins, 1521 Westhaven Circle, urged the City to stop with the golf course detention ponds project for several reasons. Deputy Mayor Palmeri questioned the name of the advocate for smaller ponds was that she had spoken to regarding her concerns. Ms. Watkins stated that it was the Director of the North Central Wisconsin Planning Commission, located in Menasha. Jean Neitzel, 2530 Village Lane, explained that as a golfer a course she had never played or seen a course that had ten par threes in eighteen holes and did not anticipate that it would be profitable. She stated that she had purchased a condo on the course for that reason and did not want it changed. She stated that her concerns with the detention ponds and urged the City to seek other options. Lyle Hintz, 1225 Maricopa Drive, stated that the ponds would not stop the flooding, there needed to be larger storm sewers and property taxes would decrease if the ponds were constructed in that area. Jerry Charapata, 1635 Maricopa Drive, stated his concerns regarding feasibility and sustainability of a second owned City golf course. He urged the City to construct the ponds at the source of the problem, south and west of Westhaven. Maureen Muldoon, 919 Merritt Avenue, stated that she was a member of the Citizens Storm Water Utility Board. She explained that the Board recommended continuing consideration of the golf course option. Mary Jane Drexler, 1525 Maricopa Drive, stated that she did not support the proposal for detention ponds on the golf course for many reasons. She stated that it was less cost to construct ponds in an undeveloped area. She urged the City to widen Campbell and Sawyer Creek with grant funds and alternatives to cease flooding. Charlie Pawlosky, 1359 Maricopa Drive, stated his concerns of how the residents of Westhaven had been approached regarding the detention pond plan at the course. He urged the City to seek alternative areas for the detention ponds and showed photos of the suggested available parcels. He explained that the sale of homes on the golf course had diminished do to the unknown issues pending. Randy Husman, 1371 Maricopa Drive, stated that he has lived on the golf course for over thirty years. He stated that he had concerns with the process of the proposal regarding the ponds on the golf course and the loss of valuation for taxes. He explained that there was a 7 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OCTOBER 13, 2009 review completed by a qualified engineer and the engineer stated that the golf course was a poor choice for detention or retention ponds due to the changes in elevation. He urged the City to deny building of homes or businesses in flood plains. Deputy Mayor Palmeri stated that he would not support the resolution. He explained that in the strategic planning meetings it was suggested to adopt that citizens should be involved in planning. Council Member Tower stated that he would not support the resolution due to other alternatives needed to be reviewed to alleviate flooding problems. He stated that the golf course option could be reviewed at a later time after other options were reviewed. He stated that from an engineering view Westhaven was a good option; however, the land use option was difficult. Mr. Rohloff stated that misinformation was provided. He explained that the plan was a conceptual design and it was not the final plan. He stated that the staff would follow direction provided by Council. Council Member Buchholz stated that he would not support the resolution and urged staff to review other options. He stated that if Westhaven was the only option viable then it would be reviewed again. Council Member McHugh stated that he would not support the resolution as he felt other options needed to be investigated. He explained that after all options were exhausted and Westhaven was the best option he would then support it. Council Member King stated that she would not support the resolution and the Council needed to provide staff with direction regarding other options. Council Member Poeschl stated that he would not support the resolution and urged staff to pursue alternate solutions for flooding and total suspended solids. Mayor Esslinger stated that he was concerned that this proposal may come back. He questioned the meaning of the resolution from the City's standpoint and if they intended bringing the proposal back after there was a new Council. Mr. Rohloff explained that the Council's role was to be policy makers and if the Council's wish was to pursue other options other than the golf course then staff would proceed in that direction. He stated that if the resolution was not supported he would not bring it back at a later time. Council Member Tower stated that in the immediate future Westhaven was not an option; however, the future could not be guaranteed. Mayor Esslinger stated that he would not support the resolution. He explained that the best case scenario has changed over time and it was not in the City's best interest to own another golf course. He clarified that the Lakeshore Municipal Golf Course was not tied to the resolution in any way. 3 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OCTOBER 13, 2009 Council took a ten minute break.

Mr. Rohloff stated that the contract was open as it did not have a specific target number and the City could cease the contract at anytime. Council Member Buchholz stated that he would support the decision that the previous Council had executed. Council Member Tower explained that a significant reduction in the herd was the expectation. Council Member Poeschl questioned if the contract had a stipulation regarding the amount of funds spent on the culling. Mr. Rohloff explained that there was a grant received from the DNR; therefore if the City exceeded that amount they would have been responsible for the remaining cost. Mayor Esslinger clarified that the Urban Wildlife Committee did not pertain only to deer and that the Committee was not eliminating the culling efforts.
