He opposed the resolution as he felt properties on Church Avenue were being assessed unfairly as a "local" street.

Mr. Rohloff explained properties were assessed on how they were zoned; with residential properties being assessed at a lower rate than commercial properties.

She explained to address the safety concerns of neighboring property owners; a twenty six foot wide right -of- way area would be included for police and fire vehicles to get through if necessary. PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Quinn (no last name given), 780 High Avenue, was a student and elected senator with the Oshkosh Student Association at the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. He explained being vision impaired he found it difficult to cross Elmwood Avenue as there were no curb cuts at the cross walks. Aaron Campbell, 424 Wisconsin Street, was an elected senator with the Oshkosh Student Association at the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh. The Oshkosh Student Association supported closing Elmwood Avenue to create a pedestrian mall. He explained there were three dormitories which housed approximately one thousand students on the north side of Elmwood Avenue. All academic buildings, the commons, and other student facilities were located on the south side of Elmwood Avenue. He explained it was not uncommon for the students living in those dormitories to have to cross Elmwood Avenue five or six times a day. He was concerned about the near misses between vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists on Elmwood Avenue. Patricia Diener, 1316 Broad Street, stated she did not support of the ordinance explaining there were safety concerns all over the city and not just in the university area. Bernie Pitz, 617 W. Irving Avenue, opposed the ordinance as he felt it would create more traffic on Wisconsin Street, Irving Avenue and various other side streets in the neighborhood. Rick Wells, 1423 Congress Avenue, Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, explained the plan to close approximately four hundred feet of Elmwood Avenue for a pedestrian mall had been in the university's plan for ten years. He stated he felt the university was a good neighbor and that the pedestrian mall was a reasonable request to ensure the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic around the university. Robert Gluth, 1628 River Mill Road, stated if the City was going to give the university four hundred feet of street, the university should relax the parking restrictions or make more parking available to citizens who wished to attend arts and cultural events at the university. Council Member Herman stated he supported the ordinance and he was comfortable with the traffic changes with the fact that the police and fire vehicles could cut through the pedestrian mall if needed. Also, he explained there was no financial impact to the City. Council Member Palmeri asked the Transportation Director Strong for his view on the impact the pedestrian mall would have on the City. Mr. Strong indicated from a traffic control standpoint there would be no need to add stop signs, traffic signals or to restrict parking. Council Member Palmeri asked Fire Chief Franz what, if any, concerns the Fire Department had regarding the pedestrian mall. 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Chief Franz stated his initial concern was access to the neighborhoods to the north and east of the university. He was happy with the compromise that there would be a right -of -way to allow police and fire vehicles to cut through the pedestrian mall if necessary. Council Member Palmeri supported the ordinance based on the criteria that it was supported by the police and fire departments and could be rescinded if unforeseen problems arose. He explained the pedestrian mall could be converted back to a street if necessary. Council Member Tower supported the ordinance due to the campus growing to the north and the vast majority of the neighborhood being students. Mayor Esslinger stated when he met with Chancellor Wells regarding the pedestrian mall; the Chancellor explained in the future creating a by -pass of the university using Pearl Avenue. He requested the Chancellor to expand on that idea. Chancellor Wells indicated the overall plan was to initially make Pearl Avenue a four lane boulevard around the outside of the university in order to calm the traffic on Algoma Boulevard. Once that took place, the university would ask to close Algoma Boulevard from Dempsey Hall to Wisconsin Street. He also indicated that parking at the university was being reviewed.

He explained there were no extraordinary fees when the farmers market was held in the parking lot at City Hall. Ordinance 11 -91 Approval of Waiver of Fees for Extraordinary Services for Special Event / Oshkosh Sawdust Days - June 30, July 1, 2, 3 & 4, 2011 ($21,641.80) (Staff Recommends Approval of Waiver) MOTION: ADOPT (Palmeri; second, Tower) CARRIED: Ayes (6) King, Herman, Poeschl, Tower, Palmeri, Mayor Esslinger Ellen Schmidt, 4303 Swallow Banks Lane, represented Oshkosh Sawdust Days, stated the reason Oshkosh Sawdust Days would like the extraordinary fees waived was due to the free festival being put on for thirty nine years for the community. The festival included the Fourth of July fireworks put on by a sponsor (not the City) and the Fourth of July Parade. Oshkosh Sawdust Days was a not for profit organization that brought many dollars and publicity to Oshkosh. She explained in 2010 it was estimated by the Convention and Visitor's Bureau that the festival brought in $12,000,000 directly to the City of Oshkosh through hotels, restaurants, etc. She stated the individuals who put on Sawdust Days were unpaid volunteers who donated a tremendous amount of time, energy, and management expertise for the benefit of the City and the merchants. She explained that Sawdust days did not profit from the festival, money was used to pay for non sponsored items such as toilets, insurance, park help, and clean up. She stated Sawdust Days felt obligated to pay for the expense of park workers ($2,380), additional extraordinary expenses would seriously impact the thin budget of Sawdust Days. She explained that Sawdust Days was also an opportunity for community non profit organizations to raise money, as was the original premise for the festival. Council Member Poeschl questioned if Ms. Schmidt was asking for a partial waiver of extraordinary fees. Ms. Schmidt clarified she did not include the $2,380 for park workers as Sawdust Days felt that was a normal, necessary fee. 1.1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Council Member Palmeri supported waiving the fees for Oshkosh Sawdust Days, however he felt going forward there should be a determination of how many of the ten criteria for waiving the fees should be met when considering the waiving of extraordinary fees for special events. Ordinance 11 -92 Approval of Gift Policy MOTION: LAY OVER UNTIL MARCH 8, 2011 MEETING (King; second, Palmeri) CARRIED: Ayes (6) King, Herman, Poeschl, Tower, Palmeri, Mayor Esslinger Ordinance 11 -93 Approve Privilege in Street to UW- Oshkosh to Allow Improvements Within a Pedestrian Mall on Elmwood Avenue Between Lincoln Avenue & Irving Avenue MOTION: ADOPT (Tower; second, Herman) CARRIED: Ayes (6) King, Herman, Poeschl, Tower, Palmeri, Mayor Esslinger Bernie Pitz, 617 W. Irving Avenue, did not believe the proposed pedestrian mall met the State Statutes as he understood them. Tom Sonnleitner, 800 Algoma Boulevard, represented the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, reiterated that the university would work closely with the City in creating the pedestrian mall so as to meet all State Statutes and ordinance requirements. Resolution 11 -94 Opposing Provisions of the Budget Repair Bill Proposed by Governor Walker (Submitted by Deputy Mayor King) MOTION: ADOPT (King; second, Poeschl) CARRIED: Ayes (5) King, Herman, Poeschl, Tower, Palmeri; Noes (1) Mayor Esslinger The following individuals supported the resolution: Larry Lautenschlager, 1215 Carr Place Orlee Hauser, 1321 Punhoqua Street Paulette Feld, 416 W 5 th Avenue Leonard Herricks, 1960 Cliffview Court Wendy Raygor, 214 E.

Council Member Tower thought it was important to clarify that the resolution only dealt with the issue of taking away collective bargaining from public employees. He supported the resolution as he felt revoking collective bargaining from public employees was inappropriate. Council Member Palmeri asked the Director of Administration Fitzpatrick, if the Budget Repair Bill gave the City the tools it needed to balance its budget as was suggested by Governor Walker. Mr. Fitzpatrick stated it was difficult to say as not enough information had been provided relative to cuts in shared revenue that the City faced. Council Member Palmeri questioned Mr. Fitzpatrick if removing collective bargaining would be an effective tool in balancing the budget. Mr. Fitzpatrick replied he did not feel eliminating collective bargaining would be an effective tool to balance the budget. He explained he felt even in years of difficult circumstances the City had a successful relationship with unions and non union employees and also the Councils. He stated that it was a unique time in history and the City may need to ask its employees for concessions they had never asked for before. He stated without knowing what the shared revenue cuts to the City would be he could not say what those concessions would be, however eliminating collective bargaining would not be one of them. Council Member Palmeri explained the state and local budgets were complex entities that could not be solved by one swing with a "sledge hammer ", but by using skill and patience to reform. He stated he felt the Governor should ask the municipalities what tools they need to balance their budgets and felt the tools in the Budget Repair Bill were not what municipalities needed. Deputy Mayor King explained that she felt the Budget Repair Bill should wait until the state budget was revealed. Council Member Herman stated his supported for the resolution and he felt there should be more transparency at the state government level. Council Member Poeschl stated his supported for the resolution and felt municipalities should be asked what tools they need to balance their budgets. He also felt it would be a step backward for the State of Wisconsin if public employees were stripped of their bargaining rights. 10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Mayor Esslinger explained he did not support the resolution, and prefaced his comments did not pertain to state workers; however, to City employees and employees at the school board level. He stated he did not believe the negotiating process for these employees was sustainable given the deficit. He challenged those who opposed the Budget Repair Bill to offer solutions on how to fix the budget. COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER & FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Council Member Herman would like a future discussion on the possibility of having boards and commissions review special events prior to them being approved by Council. Council Member Palmeri wanted to remove the discussion of James Road Water Detention Basin from the agenda and place it on the March 8 th meeting agenda. Mr. Rohloff stated there would be a workshop on March 8 th regarding the Canadian Railroad proposal to relocate the swing bridge. Mayor Esslinger wanted to know if the Budget Repair Bill was approved, would the rules pertaining to collective bargaining remain the same regarding a council member being part of negotiations. Ms. Lorenson explained it would depend on what the final bill said. Council Member Herman explained he was approached by Habitat for Humanity to see if the City would allow them to salvage items from City owned properties that would be demolished to be sold at the Habitat for Humanity Restore. John Murelli, a representative from Habitat for Humanity stated they would salvage items such as kitchen sinks, counter tops, cabinets, doors, trim, molding, and windows. He explained the concept of the restore was to salvage items, clean them up and sell them to the general public to use. The money from the sale of salvaged items went to the affiliate Habitat for Humanity to be used to build more homes in the City of Oshkosh. Mr. Rohloff stated although it was a worthy plan, the process would have to be approved as an exception to City policy by the Council. Council Member Palmeri stated residents in the River Mill area were concerned about American Transmission Company's (ATC) plan to place metal power poles along the east side of the Fox River. Jim Storm, 1545 Arboretum Drive, explained ATC would be increasing the amount poles that already existed and placing them closer to the residences along the Fox River from the Sunset substation to the Pearl Avenue substation. He considered this to be blight on the shoreline and thought it should be brought to the attention of the Council. He also had concerns that the electromagnetic fields emitted would interfere with residents' wireless or hardwired devices. 11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL — FEBRUARY 22, 2011 Don Hansen, 1545 Arboretum Drive, was concerned about residents losing property value which would result in a loss on the tax base. He explained the metal poles would create a blight to boaters entering the water gateway to the City of Oshkosh. Jeff Mutz, 1545 Arboretum Drive, was a member of the Board of Directors for the River Mill Condominiums. He stated he felt ATC was not forthcoming or transparent with information regarding the power poles. He explained there were seventy seven different property owners in the River Mill Condominiums from all different perspectives. some hired their own attorneys, while others did their own research and he felt everyone was not on the same page as there was not a unified representation. He hoped the Council could help get them solid information as to what exactly ATC was proposing. Mr. Rohloff stated ATC was a state regulated utility and the City had no jurisdiction over them. Council Member Palmeri directed the City Manager to meet with ATC to discuss the concerns of the residents of River Mill Condominiums. CITIZEN STATEMENTS There were no citizen statements. CITY MANAGER ANNOUNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS Mr. Rohloff updated the Council on the Urban Chicken ordinance, he explained the ordinance was currently being reviewed by the Sustainability Advisory Board. He also gave an update regarding the Canadian National Rail Line Relocation, utilities would be moved at the expense of Canadian Railroad, more details would be available at the upcoming workshop.
