1.Consider request for tobacco-free parks ordinance from Winnebago County re!THINK Youth
Coalition
Members of the Winnebago County re!THINK Youth Coalition have been following and
reviewing other Wisconsin municipalities that have recently adopted tobacco-free or no
smoking parks ordinances. They are requesting that the City of Oshkosh consider a tobacco-
free parks ordinance. Police Chief Smith and I have met with Youth Coalition representatives
over the past few months with questions and concerns we had with the proposal. Youth
Coalition representatives presented to the Common Council a few months back and the
Common Council suggested that the Advisory Parks Board review this item. Included in your
packet are examples of ordinances from other municipalities. Youth Coalition representatives
will be in attendance at the meeting.
2.Consider 3-year extension of Menominee Park Shoreland Restoration Project and
maintenance plan
The Board will consider an extension of the shoreline project and maintenance plan as drafted
by the project group and Bill Sturm, Landscape Operations Manager.

Staff will provide an update to the Board regarding activities and facilities utilized in and
around the city for winter recreation.
