MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the o on Council
FROM: James Rabe, Director of Public Work
DATE: November 8, 2018
RE: Approve Transfer of Jurisdiction and Maintenance of Portions of Three Separate County
Highways from Winnebago County
BACKGROUND
As the City of Oshkosh has continued to expand, portions of the County Trunk Highway (CTH) system
have become completely surrounded by parcels that are within the City of Oshkosh corporate limits.
Over the years, Winnebago County has reconstructed these CTH's to conform to urban requirements.
Among other items, these urban requirements include concrete streets with curb and gutter, storm sewer,
and sidewalks. The Winnebago County Highway Department is not well situated to maintain urban
street sections. The vast majority of CTH's within the Highway Department's area of responsibility are
asphalt rural section roads, with shoulders and ditches.
State of Wisconsin Statute §83.025 enables counties and local municipalities to mutually agree to transfer
jurisdiction of roadways. The governing body of both entities must pass a resolution authorizing the
transfer of jurisdiction of the roadways. After both governing bodies authorize the transfer, the County
Highway Commissioner then prepares the appropriate paperwork to submit to the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation to approve the transfer.
The three (3) CTH segments in question for this jurisdictional transfer are:
• CTH I (Oregon Street) between West 24th Avenue and West Waukau Avenue, approximately
4,000'.
• CTH K (West 201h Avenue) between West South Park Avenue and South Oakwood Road,
approximately 7,600'.
• CTH E (Witzel Avenue) between South Koeller Street and South Westhaven Drive,
approximately 3,600'.

Transfer\ Winnebago Co Jurisdiction Transfer_11-8-18.docx Page 1 of 2
ANALYSIS
These CTH segments are completely within the City of Oshkosh corporate limits. Bringing these streets
under the jurisdiction of the City of Oshkosh will help reduce confusion on the part of residents,
developers, and private utility companies. Currently, individuals performing work come through the
City Site Plan Review Process, but then must also obtain permit approval from the Winnebago County
Highway Department for work within the right-of-way adjacent to their property. Bringing these
segments of street under the jurisdiction of the City of Oshkosh will reduce this confusion, and reduce
the number of entities that the development community will need to coordinate with.
Additionally, since all adjacent properties are now within the City of Oshkosh, the City's Special
Assessment Policy would apply to all adjacent properties for any street reconstruction work that would
occur in the future. There is currently no street reconstruction work planned for West 201h Avenue and
Witzel Avenue. Oregon Street is planned for reconstruction as far south as the Glatz Creek Bridge, just
south of West 25th Avenue. Beyond that, the sanitary sewer interceptor project will patch the street.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact of this jurisdictional transfer will be minimal. State of Wisconsin Statute §83.025 (2)
requires local municipalities to be responsible for construction and maintenance costs of CTH's that are
of a greater width within the local municipality than the CTH has outside the local municipality. Since
these portions of CTH being transferred are all four -lane roads, the City has already assumed much of
the maintenance responsibilities for these segments of streets, without them being considered a part of
our street mileage report with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend approving this resolution authorizing the jurisdictional transfer of these portions of CTH
from Winnebago County to the City of Oshkosh.
Approved:
Mark A. Rohloff
