The meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m. by Chairman Mark Harris.
Ms. Nieforth provided a brief overview of TID. No 34 noting that it is an industrial TID. Ms. Nieforth
noted that major project costs are for public infrastructure and the development incentives for Oshkosh
Corporation. Ms. Nieforth stated that N. Westfield and N. Koeller would be extended. Mr. Bunch
noted that some of the streets, trails, and riverwalk would be outside of district costs and explained
what those were. There was some discussion regarding the structure of the development incentives and
employment projections by Oshkosh Corporation. Mr. Rohloff stated that Oshkosh Corporation is
building to accommodate 650 persons and in the short term they are retaining and consolidating 40
locations into the new headquarters. There was a question about when construction would start on the
new headquarters and Ms. Nieforth stated that construction is anticipated to commence in May.
Motion by Mr. Rohloff and second by Ms. Kohn to approve the resolution creating TID No. 34.
Motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Burich provided a brief overview of the TID No. 35 Project Plan and boundaries noting that the
TID shares some similarities with TID No. 34 for infrastructure improvements. He also noted that
unlike TID No. 34 this district is being proposed as an "in need of rehabilitation or conservation
district" based on much of the area containing older residential and commercial structures that will
benefit by improvements in the district that will include creation of a facade/building improvement
grant or loan program. Mr. Tower inquired about assessments for the street improvements and Mr.
Rohloff stated that it was a Council decision at this point. Mr. Tower inquired if there were any
development incentives included in the Plan and Mr. Rohloff stated that unlike TID No. 34 there are no
development incentives listed as a project cost. Mr. Bunch explained that the Project Plan would have
to be amended for that to occur. Ms. Garner asked about the development assumptions to fund the
improvements and Mr. Burich explained that the assumptions were based on some preliminary
discussions staff has had with people potentially interested in developing in the area but that nothing
has been submitted or approved.
Motion by Ms. Garner and second by Mr. Tower to approve the resolution to create TID No. 35.
Motion passed unanimously.
Motion to adjourn the meeting made by Mr. Rohloff and second by Ms. Garner. Meeting adjourned at
10:05 am. Motion carried.
Respectfully Submitted,
Darryn Burich
Planning Director
