DOWNTOWN OSHKOSH BID BOARD MINUTES May 15, 2007 2 PARKING ENFORCEMENT 2-5 AM There was no discussion on this item. 400 EAST PARKING LOT It appears that in order to secure additional
funding for this project, staff will have to get a firm price from a consultant, so the RFP will have to happen before the funding can be secured. Staff is working on the RFP for this
purpose. DISPOSITION OF GOLF CART Based on the information Jim Stapel’s employee provided, Jim Stapel moved that the golf cart be sold by sealed bid with a minimum price of $1,600. Mark
Bohrnstedt seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Following discussion of the use of the cart by OAEDC, Dave Sparr moved that OAEDC be permitted to use the cart for Live at Lunch
and Waterfest until it is sold with the condition that OAEDC will not pay rent but will be responsible for repairs during that time. Jim Stapel seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
CHANGE OF MEETING SCHEDULE Staff reported that a schedule change at this time would be complicated by the fact that the meeting times for the year have been printed in the City calendar.
Commissioners agreed to discuss this in September and if a change is to be made, it can be made prior to printing next years calendar. 20TH ANNIVERSARY PARTY Dave Sparr asked Megan Hoopman
to approach the Marketing Consortium to see if they would be interested in planning and organizing this event. AGENDA ITEMS FOR MAY MEETING No items were suggested. ADJOURNMENT There
being no further business, Jim Stapel moved the meeting be adjourned. Mark Bohrnstedt seconded the motion which passed unanimously. Respectfully Submitted Susan Kepplinger Planning Services
