The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Council Member Herman. PCC RESENTATION BY OUNCIL ANDIDATES Mayor Tower explained the process Council would use to appoint one of the six candidates seeking the council seat vacated by Jef Hall. The candidates’ names were randomly drawn to determine the order in which they would speak. Kyle Clark stated as a member of the Storm Water Utility Board he had developed knowledge of the Capital Improvement Plan, intergovernmental agreements, and the process of municipal finance. Infrastructure within the City of Oshkosh was a priority for him and he also felt that neighborhood revitalization was important for the City. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Clark why he did not seek to have his name appear on the Ballot in the April Election. Mr. Clark replied he did not seek to have his name appear on the ballot due to him not being in the position to fundraise should the campaign become competitive. He stressed that the votes he received as a write in candidate were the result of him going door to door and talking to citizens in the community. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Clark what he felt the Council’s priorities should be. Mr. Clark stated in talking with citizens of Oshkosh he found that economic development for the City should be a priority of the Council. Council Member Fitzgerald asked Mr. Clark what lessons he had learned from serving on the Stormwater Utility Board. 1 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Mr. Clark replied he had attended every meeting of the Stormwater Utility Board since his appointment to the board. Through attending meetings of the Stormwater Utility Board he had learned how different government entities worked together to achieve the same goal. He also developed an understanding of the bonding process in which to finance municipal projects. Council Member Herman asked Mr. Clark if he anticipated any trouble in attending bimonthly council meetings, boards and commissions meetings, or community events. Mr. Clark stated he was dedicated to his commitment to the community of Oshkosh. Mike Norton felt his thirteen years of service on the Winnebago County Board would be beneficial to the Council as he had experience with the budget process. Economic development and bringing new residents into the City of Oshkosh were important to him. Council Member Herman asked Mr. Norton if he would step down from the Winnebago County Board if he were appointed to the City Council. Mr. Norton stated he did not anticipate stepping down from the Winnebago County Board if he was appointed to the City Council, although he would reevaluate the question when his terms were up for reelection in December. Council Member Herman asked Mr. Norton if he felt there would be a conflict of interest if he served simultaneously on the Winnebago County Board and the Oshkosh Common Council. Mr. Norton did not believe there would be a conflict of interest if he served simultaneously on the Winnebago County Board and the Oshkosh Common Council. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Norton why he did not seek to have his name appear on the ballot for the April Election. Mr. Norton replied he thought about taking out candidacy papers for the April Election, however he had missed the deadline. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Norton what his priority would be for the Council. Mr. Norton replied his priority for the Council would be economic development. Andrew Sulewski was a lifelong resident of Oshkosh and a recent law school graduate who was eager to serve his community. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Sulewski why he did not seek to have his name appear on the ballot for the April Election. Mr. Sulewski stated he did not seek to have his name appear on the ballot for the April Election due to the fact that he had moved back to Oshkosh at the end of 2012 and needed 2 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL to establish himself. He saw the advertisement for the council seat in the newspaper and decided to apply. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Sulewski what his priority was for the Council. Mr. Sulewski stated he felt the focus of the Council should be to get citizens to move to Oshkosh. Brian Poeschl stated he was a former member of the Council and had served on many boards and commissions in the City of Oshkosh throughout his life. He felt his experience would benefit the Council. Council Member Fitzgerald asked Mr. Poeschl what lessons he had learned having served previously on the Council and subsequent boards and commissions. Mr. Poeschl stated during his term on the Council he had learned how the City operated. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Poeschl what his priority for the Council would be. Mr. Poeschl stated his priority for the Council would be to finish the riverwalk and to bring more people into the City of Oshkosh. Tom Willadsen felt that cities should be planned socially and culturally as well as for buildings, streets, and infrastructure. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Willadsen why he did not seek to have his name appear on the ballot for the April Election. Mr. Willadsen stated although he had been on the fence for years on whether or not to run for City Council, he did not seek to have his name put on the ballot for the April Election. After he wrote an article for the community column in the newspaper, a columnist for the newspaper wrote in an article that Tom Willadsen would make a great candidate for City Council. Upon reading that article he decided to run as a registered write in candidate. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Poeschl what his priority for the Council would be. Mr. Willadsen stated in addition to economic development, his priority for the Council would be to strengthen neighborhoods and build communities within neighborhoods. Teresa Thiel felt she had a clear understanding of what was involved in local public service through her serving on the Oshkosh School Board. She believed economic development was essential and wanted people who worked in Oshkosh to want to live in Oshkosh. Council Member Pech asked Ms. Thiel why she did not seek to have her name appear on the ballot for the April Election. 3 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Ms. Thiel stated she did not feel the opportunity was right for her to run as a candidate for the council until after the deadline had passed. Once she realized there were only two candidates on the ballot for three available seats she decided to run as a write in candidate. She did not receive enough votes for the open council position so she applied for the council seat vacated by Jef Hall. Council Member Pech asked Ms. Thiel what her priority for the Council would be. Ms. Thiel stated she thought economic development and the Strategic Plan were intertwined and that both were needed to keep the City moving forward. Council Member Cummings asked Ms. Thiel what her definition of economic development was. Ms. Thiel replied her definition of economic development was making the City of Oshkosh a place where businesses wanted to operate, and employees of those businesses choosing to live in Oshkosh. Council Member Fitzgerald asked Ms. Thiel what lessons she learned while serving on the Oshkosh School Board. Ms. Thiel stated her service to the Oshkosh School Board taught her about the various types of hearings of the school board, the budget process, and the meaningfulness of having separate boards and commissions within the school board. Steve Barney, 1335 Summit Avenue, endorsed Tom Willadsen to be appointed to the open council seat. The City Clerk polled members of the Council who responded by announcing the name of the applicant they would cast their vote for: Herman voted Clark Allison-Aasby voted Poeschl Fitzgerald voted Clark Pech voted Poeschl Cummings voted Clark Mayor Tower voted Thiel Council Member Fitzgerald asked Mr. Poeschl to explain why his signatures did not count which led to his name not appearing on the ballot for the April Election. Mr. Poeschl explained due to an issue with the dates on the signature pages that a person collected on his behalf, those signatures could not be counted. Mr. Poeschl had collected one hundred ninety four signatures himself, however since he could not get in touch with the person who had collected the other signatures to resolve the date issue it resulted in him being short of the two hundred signatures required to have his name appear on the ballot. Council Member Cummings asked Mr. Poeschl what the Council could do to be more effective. 4 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Mr. Poeschl felt the Council could do a better job communicating to the public what goes on behind the scenes. Council Member Cummings asked Mr. Clark what the Council could do to be more effective. Mr. Clark felt the Council should rely on the City’s boards and commissions and encourage communication with the citizens of Oshkosh in order to be efficient and effective leaders in the City. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Clark what the Council had done in the past year that he felt was a mistake or could have been done differently. Mr. Clark stated off the top of his head he could not name a specific instance when he concretely disagreed with a Council vote. Rather than focus on a single negative vote, he felt the Council should focus on they did well, which was putting together a strategic plan and capital improvement plan to move the City forward. Council Member Pech asked Mr. Poeschl what the Council had done in the past year that he felt was a mistake or could have been done differently. Mr. Poeschl stated although he thought Sawdust Days was a great event, if the organizers could not pay their bills, the Council should make some changes to the event. Perhaps the event should be shortened or held at a different time. Council Member Pech believed if Mr. Poeschl could have resolved the signature date issue and his name had appeared on the April Election ballot he would have won a seat on the Council. As a write in candidate Mr. Poeschl received the most votes out of the entire write in candidates with a total of 343 votes. Council Member Allison-Aasby agreed with Council Member Pech that there was a section of citizens that voted for Mr. Poeschl in the April Election. She chose Mr. Poeschl also for the fact that he had previous council experience which would help with the budget process. She liked the fact that whenever Mr. Poeschl came to Council meetings to speak about an issue he always offered one or two solutions to resolve it. Council Member Cummings felt Mr. Clark had a good grasp of the work of the Council. Council Member Fitzgerald endorsed Mr. Clark as he was impressed with his academic background and felt he had a theoretical understanding of how government worked. Council Member Herman liked Mr. Clark’s enthusiasm and the fact that he understood the importance of the City’s boards and commissions. Mayor Tower stated although Mr. Clark was not his initial choice, he would endorse Mr. Clark as he demonstrated good rationale. 5 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL The City Clerk again polled members of the Council who responded by announcing the name of the applicant they would cast their vote for: Herman voted Clark Allison-Aasby voted Poeschl Fitzgerald voted Clark Pech voted Poeschl Cummings voted Clark Mayor Tower voted Clark Resolution 13-184 Appointment of Kyle Clark to Fill Vacant Council Seat MOTION: APPOINT KYLE CLARK TO FILL VACANT SEAT ON COUNCIL (Pech; second, Allison-Aasby) CARRIED: Ayes (6) Herman, Fitzgerald, Cummings, Allison-Aasby, Pech, Mayor Tower NOTE: Newly appointed Council Member Kyle Clark, took his oath of office which was administered by the City Clerk.

He wanted to know why the Finance Department was not going back to the employees to ask them to cash their checks. Finance Director, Peggy Steeno, stated there were seven checks written to City employees that had not been cashed. She stated if the amount was over $100.00 the employee was contacted. Also, if a City employee check was presented to the Finance Department after it was cancelled, the City would still the honor the check. Resolution 13-190 Approval of 2012 Fund Transfers Mayor Tower asked for clarification on the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) transfer amount. He thought the amount was included in the budget. Ms. Steeno explained that the WRS would not have been included in the budget as the budget that was completed in 2011 for the calendar year 2012 assumed every employee would be paying the employee contribution. The Fire Department contract was not settled until November, 2012 and State Statutes did allow for estimates; the original budgeted amount for WRS had to be used. All of the fund transfers in the resolution were variations from the original budget.

He had invested time and money in his establishment as well as investing in the downtown area of the community. He did not feel it was appropriate to allow a street vendor who was not vested in the downtown area and did not pay property taxes to encroach on his business. April Chase, 515 N. Main Street, owned the Distillery Pub on North Main Street. She was opposed to allowing mobile vendors who did not pay property taxes, employees, workman’s compensation insurance, or overhead costs to sell the same type of food she sold within twenty five feet of her business. In her opinion mobile vendors should be kept one hundred feet from downtown businesses that held restaurant licenses. She also felt the mobile vendor license fee was too low at $50. Devon Burks, 9 Church Avenue, was concerned that allowing mobile vendors in the downtown area of Oshkosh would make it harder for downtown businesses to make money. He suggested the City allow mobile vendors on the riverwalk. Charlie Nichols owned a mobile vending business called Hot Dog Charlies. He did not feel keeping his vending cart one hundred feet away from downtown businesses was feasible. He also pointed out that he did not vend in the rain or during the winter months. th Phil Smith, 126 West 18 Avenue, owned a barbecue vending trailer in which he conducted business by rotating to private parking lots throughout the City. He felt the City should charge one flat license fee for the whole year. Currently he paid $75 for a Temporary Use Permit through the City of Oshkosh Planning and Zoning Department that was only good for seventy five days in a calendar year at one place. He also paid rent for the parking lots he used. He would be willing to pay $300.00 for an annual license that allowed him to conduct his barbecue business on any private parking lot. 10 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Council Member Herman wanted to know how wide North Main Street was and what the width of a parking stall was on North Main Street. Assistant Director of Public Works, Steve Gohde, stated Main Street, North of the Highway 45 area was thirty eight feet wide and the parking stalls were eight feet in wide. Council Member Cummings wanted to know who was responsible for the clean up around the mobile vendors. He also asked where the mobile vendors would be parking. Director of Community Development, Allen Davis, stated the mobile vendors would be parking their carts in parking stalls on the street. Council Member Cummings felt the mobile vendors should have to stop serving at the same time as the bars and restaurants. Mr. Davis said the reasoning behind allowing mobile vendors to serve until 2:30 a.m. was for them to be able to serve bar patrons on their way home. City Attorney, Lynn Lorenson added the City typically did not dictate when a business had to close unless there was a liquor license involved; then it had to abide by State Statute. Council Member Allison-Aasby was concerned that it would be disruptive to bar owners trying to get patrons out of the bar at closing time if mobile vendors were allowed to serve until 2:30 a.m. She also stated that after attending the mobile vendor meetings her understanding was that the distance in which a mobile vendor could be from a business with a restaurant license was fifty feet. She felt a mobile vendor ordinance was a good idea for the City but it had to be fair to the businesses on North Main Street who were still recovering from the closure of the street when it was reconstructed in 2009. Mr. Rohloff stressed to the Council the importance of adopting a mobile vending ordinance. Currently there was no regulation of mobile vending except for health codes and parking regulations. Council Member Pech felt it was important to have a mobile vending ordinance. Changes could be made to the ordinance in the future. He proposed an amendment to keep mobile vendors within thirty seven and one half feet from the customer entrances of businesses with restaurant licenses. Council Member Clark asked what the length of a parking stall on North Main Street was. Mr. Gohde replied the length of parallel parking stalls on North Main Street varied depending on location. Most parallel parking spaces on North Main Street were between twenty feet and twenty five feet in length. Council Member Fitzgerald wanted clarification that the Council could revise the ordinance if something was not working. 11 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Ms. Lorenson replied the Council could revise the ordinance at any time. She thought it would be a good idea to review the ordinance at the end of summer. Ms. Chase felt the distance between a mobile vendor and a business with a restaurant license should be one hundred feet. Mr. Burks felt the distance between a mobile vendor and a business with a restaurant license should be between fifty feet and one hundred feet. Mr. Koch preferred that mobile vendors were not permitted at all downtown, but supported a distance of one hundred feet or more from businesses with restaurant licenses. Mr. Nichols stated thirty seven and one half feet was a good compromise. He would like mobile vendors to be able to serve until 2:30 a.m. Council Member Herman asked for clarification that the ordinance was City wide and not just for the downtown area. Mr. Rohloff acknowledged that the ordinance included the entire City of Oshkosh. Council Member Cummings pointed out that the mobile vending ordinance included more than food vendors. Council Member Clark did not support the amendment to keep mobile vendors within thirty seven and one half feet from the customer entrances of businesses with restaurant licenses. He felt given the length of the parking stalls on North Main Street it would be too constrictive for the mobile vendors. Mr. Rohloff suggested that the Council make the mobile vending ordinance effective by Memorial Day. Council Member Pech proposed an amendment to increase the mobile vending license from $50.00 to $100.00. Ms. Chase felt the mobile vending license should be $500.00. Mr. Nichols stated a mobile vending license of $100.00 was acceptable to a food vendor, but to a balloon vendor or glow stick vendor a license fee of $100.00 could put them out of business. Council Member Fitzgerald asked how the $50.00 fee came about. Mr. Davis stated his staff chose a $50.00 fee for the mobile vendor license as that is what the fee was to have a sidewalk café. Council Member Herman proposed an amendment to change the time that mobile vendors must close from 2:30 a.m. to the same time as Class “B” Liquor License holders must close. 12 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Mr. Koch wanted to know whose liability it was if people were congregating on the streets after the bars closed. Ms. Lorenson stated Mr. Koch was only liable for things that happened on his property. The mobile vending carts would not be on his property. Mr. Nichols asked for clarification of when the bars had to close. Ms. Lorenson replied that bars had to close by 2:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and by 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Mr. Nichols felt it was a good idea to allow mobile vendors to serve food up to thirty minutes after bars closed. Ms. Chase supported requiring mobile vendors to close at the same time as businesses that held Class “B” Liquor Licenses. Council Member Herman proposed an amendment that upon passage of the mobile vending ordinance, the effective date of the mobile vending ordinance would be May 24, 2013. Ordinance 13-218 Approval of Changes in Permit Parking Enforcement, Permit Parking and Short-term Parking Areas in Washington Avenue Parking Lot FIRST READING; LAID OVER UNDER THE RULES Ordinance 13-219 Approval of Temporary Parking on the West Side of Summit Avenue During New York Avenue Street Construction Project FIRST READING; LAID OVER UNDER THE RULES Resolution 13-220 Dissolve Tax Incremental District #6 MOTION: ADOPT (Pech; second, Cummings) CARRIED: Ayes (7) Herman, Clark, Fitzgerald, Cummings, jAllison-Aasby, Pech, Mayor Tower Mr. Rohloff explained by State law there was a certain life of a Tax Incremental Finance District and then it had to be closed. The Tax Incremental Finance District should also be closed if it had met all of its obligations and fulfilled its plan. Tax Incremental District #6 had met all of its obligations therefore by State Statute it must be dissolved. Council Member Fitzgerald asked if the Long Range Finance Committee had discussed the possibility of using additional increments from successful tax incremental finance (TIF) districts and apply them to TIF districts that were not performing as well. 13 PCC–A23,2013 ROCEEDINGS OF THE OMMON OUNCIL PRIL Mr. Rohloff explained the issue of a “donor” TIF district was not the decision of the Long Range Finance Committee; it was the decision of the Joint Review Board. With respect to the TIF closure, what the City did with its money was the work of the Long Range Finance Committee. Resolution 13-221 Approve Variance to Close a Portion of Jackson Street from Algoma Boulevard to Church Avenue for Excavation Work / April 29, 2013 – May 3, 2013 MOTION: ADOPT (Allison-Aasby; second, Pech) CARRIED: Ayes (7) Herman, Clark, Fitzgerald, Cummings, Allison-Aasby, Pech, Mayor Tower Mr. Gohde explained due to inaccuracies in the maps submitted to the City regarding underground utilities, it was necessary to close Jackson Street between Algoma Boulevard and Church Avenue in order to lay the storm water sewer lateral needed for storm water to run from the detention basin under the City Hall parking lot to the Fox River. CD,DCM&FAI OUNCIL ISCUSSION IRECTION TO ITY ANAGER UTURE GENDA TEMS A workshop on new Council committee assignments and roles for boards and commissions would be held on May 14, 2013 after the council meeting. A workshop with the Winnebago Apartment Association would be held on May 28, 2013. Council Member Pech commented he heard from several people regarding the great job the Oshkosh Police Department did controlling the crowds in the downtown area relative to the pub crawl. CITIZEN STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL Mike Norton, 1029 South Main Street, requested that the agendas for committee meetings be placed on the City website and Oshkosh Community Media Services. Mr. Rohloff pointed out the agendas for boards and commissions were listed on the City website under the Government Tab. Charlie Nichols, was confused about amendments and asked that the Mayor read the amendments again. CMA&S ITY ANAGER NNOUNCEMENTS TATEMENTS Mr. Rohloff provided the Council with the Quarterly Strategic Plan Report.
