She explained it was her opinion that trying new things was worthwhile, and she believed the event would appeal to a wide range of citizens in the area. Council Member Mugerauer thanked the Oshkosh Rotary Club for collaborating to create a family friendly event. He stated be believed it was the right time for a small change. He explained discussion regarding whether or not it will be a permanent change would take place after the event. He stated the road construction on Hazel Street would result in far too many difficulties accessing Menominee Park. He explained previously there had been concerns about maintaining control over alcohol consumption, and the Leach Amphitheater provided an excellent location to do so. 7 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Council Member Herman requested an explanation of the event. Mr. Maurer stated the group who created the event, which was comprised of Oshkosh Rotary members, various local business representatives and members of the community had been meeting since Sawdust Days informed the City they discontinued their event. He explained there would be food trucks, face painting and a DJ behind the Convention Center. He stated music was planned throughout the day inside the Leach, including the Oshkosh Symphony and Corey Chisel, for a small entrance fee, used to defer costs. He explained the AmVets organization would work the concession stands at no cost, and would receive the profits from the sales. He stated the event was scheduled to end at 9:30 p.m. and the fireworks would follow. He explained due to the location change, themed music was planned to accompany the fireworks, which was why they had requested an extension in time for amplified music. Council Member Herman asked for an explanation of the plan for parking and what streets would be blocked off. Mr. Maurer stated a number of City owned parking lots in the downtown and South Main Street area were identified. He indicated the Fugleberg Park boat launch and the 241h Avenue boat launch would be optimal viewing locations for the fireworks. He explained Dean Smith, Chief of Police, recommended that Pioneer Drive be closed to vehicle traffic so pedestrians and families could utilize the space and set up chairs. He stated a number of businesses that previously closed during the 41h of July would stay open and encouraged citizens to use their parking lots. He explained that previously individuals would have to park quite a distance from Menominee Park and walk through residential neighborhoods to enter. He indicated that individuals could park further from the event and utilize the riverwalk. He stated City staff had reached out to the staff at the University of Oshkosh and because it will be a holiday, their lots will be open to the public. He explained he had also reached out to the Fox Valley Technical College and was waiting for a return phone call. He stated the Senior Center could be utilized for parking and access to the riverwalk. Council Member Krause asked for clarification on the request for an extension in time for amplified music as the resolution stated a different time than the actual application. Mr. Maurer explained when the group applied, they had requested 10:00 p.m., however, when it was decided to propose to move the fireworks it was amended in the resolution to 11:00 P.M. Council Member Poeschl stated he believed the event would be a great gift to the 8 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 community. He explained there were vacant lots located in the South Shore area and questioned if they would be utilized as spaces where citizens could watch the fireworks. Mr. Maurer questioned if Council Member Poeschl was referring to City owned parking lots. Council Member Poeschl stated they were not parking lots;they were vacant lots that the City owned. He explained he would save the discussion for the following resolution. Resolution 19-267 Approve Pioneer Island as the site for the July 41h 2019 Festival Foods Fireworks Show MOTION: ADOPT (Mugerauer; second, Poeschl) CARRIED: Ayes (6) Allison-Aasby, Herman, Krause, Mugerauer, Poeschl, Mayor Palmeri Council Member Poeschl questioned if the public would be able to utilize the vacant City owned lots along South Main Street as a viewing location for the fireworks. Mr. Maurer stated any vacant lots that were City owned would be open and available as public viewing spaces. Mr. Rohloff explained there were several accessible viewing sites and he anticipated more of the community to come forward with additional options closer to the event. Council Member Poeschl questioned if the Menominee Arena area would be a public location for the fireworks. Mr. Maurer stated the organizers of the event planned to approach the arena about either allowing the public to park at the location or holding an event with music. Mayor Palmeri explained she believed the event change was exciting for catalytic reasons in the Sawdust District and activating the riverwalk. She questioned if there was the potential for a park and ride opportunity with GO-Transit or Titan Transit. Mr. Rohloff stated he and Jim Collins, Director of Transportation, would look into the idea to see if it would be feasible. He explained they had discussed the idea in the past with Sawdust Days and there had not been much interest, however, with the change in location it was possible. He stated City staff would publicize the different parking and viewing areas, and he anticipated it would be a well-attended event. 9 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Mayor Palmeri stated she agreed a parking map would be an excellent visual resource for the public. Council Member Mugerauer thanked the current owners of the property for agreeing to host the fireworks and for working with the group organizing the event. He questioned if City staff was working with local fishing groups to help share information about the event to make sure that the waterways would be safe. Mr. Maurer stated that they would reach out to the various fishing and boating groups to share information. Council Member Allison-Aasby questioned if there would be a social media page or website where information would be shared with the public. Mr. Maurer stated he could not speak for the organization but suspected there would be. He explained the City website could also be used to share information. Resolution 19-268 Accept Donations & Approve Agreement with Oshkosh Area Community Foundation/CR Meyer for Eagle Exhibit at Menominee Park Zoo MOTION: ADOPT (Herman; second, Mugerauer) CARRIED: Ayes (6) Allison-Aasby, Herman, Krause, Mugerauer, Poeschl, Mayor Palmeri Council Member Herman asked for an update of the exhibit. Mr. Maurer presented a conceptual design of the exhibit created by FEH Design, who had assisted in creating the zoo master plan in 2014. He stated fundraising for the eagle exhibit had begun in 2015, and due to an increase in supply costs, the proposed cost for the project shifted from an original estimate of approximately $150,000 dollars to approximately$217,000 dollars, followed by another increase to approximately$228,000 dollars. He explained City staff had worked with the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and had achieved the fundraising goal thanks to their donation. He stated there were no City tax dollars contributing to the project. He explained CR Meyer would construct the project and donate their work to the City. Mayor Palmeri questioned what the future fiscal impact of maintenance and animal care would be. 10 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Mr. Maurer stated the exhibit was designed to house two eagles. He stated City staff was planning for one eagle, however, depending on where it came from, it may be paired with another eagle. He explained City staff estimated an annual cost of approximately $2,000 dollars per bird. Mayor Palmeri questioned where the eagle exhibit would be located. Mr. Maurer explained it would be located near the boardwalk by the wolf exhibit. COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER &FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Mayor Palmeri stated there was a request to allow a video presentation by an applicant for the vacant Common Council seat. Mr. Rohloff explained one of the applicants for the vacant Common Council seat indicated that she would not be available on May 141h and would like to submit a five minute video presentation. Council Member Krause stated he would support allowing the video, however, he questioned if it would be possible to get the individual's name so that questions could be emailed. Mr. Rohloff explained Council would receive the entire packet of applicant information on May 111h Council Member Krause questioned if the applicant would be out of the country at that point. Mr. Rohloff stated he was not certain. Council Member Krause explained that the people presenting in person would have an opportunity to answer questions and he wanted to give the video applicant the same right. Mr. Rohloff stated City staff could provide Council with the individual's information, and there may be additional individuals who wished to present via video, dependent on Council's direction. 11 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Council Member Herman explained he believed it was important that anyone interested in applying for the vacancy had an opportunity to do so. He stated he agreed there should be a way to ask questions. Council Member Allison-Aasby questioned if Council would be aware of the applicants as the applications came in, so that discussion could be initiated if the applicant planned to be out of the area on May 141h. She stated she was aware of an additional potential applicant who would be out of the country. Mr. Rohloff explained City staff would be able to provide Council with the names of the applicants. Mayor Palmeri questioned if Council Member Allison-Aasby was supportive of allowing a video presentation. Council Member Allison-Aasby stated yes. Council Member Poeschl questioned if the applicant would record a five minute presentation that would be aired during the May 141h Council meeting. Mr. Rohloff stated City staff would address the technology aspect as there were a couple options. Mayor Palmeri questioned if the video would be presented on May 141h during the other presentations or prior to that date. Mr. Rohloff explained the applicant would provide the video which would be presented during the May 141h Council meeting. Mayor Palmeri stated the five minute presentations were not required;they were allowed according to the ordinance. Council Member Poeschl explained he was concerned if the video applicant was provided questions in advance of the meeting that to remain fair the other applicants would need to be asked the same set of questions. Council Member Krause stated he did not believe there needed to be a specific set of questions for all the applicants. He explained questions may vary based on the applicants skill set, background and availability. He stated he did not believe it gave any kind of advantage to the applicant who would not appear in person. 12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Council Member Poeschl explained he had brought it up for discussion for Council to consider. Mr. Rohloff indicated the presentations were optional and he believed applicants appearing on May 141h had the expectation that Council would ask questions. He agreed that the amount and nature of the questions would be dependent on the applicant. Mayor Palmeri explained she believed there was a consensus that the video presentation would be permissible. She stated the Council seat would be a one year term and applications were due by May 91h at 10:00 a.m. She explained in addition to the Council meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month it was expected that a Council Member serve on at least two boards or commissions as a Council liaison, there were two full days of budget hearings and up to two days of strategic planning. She stated Council was looking forward to meeting the various applicants. CITIZEN STATEMENTS TO COUNCIL There were no citizen statements to Council. CO UNCIL MEMBER ANNO UNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS There were no Council Member announcements or statements. CITY MANAGER ANNO UNCEMENTS & STATEMENTS Mr. Rohloff explained the first quarter strategic plan update had been provided to Council and 77 percent of the items were on track. He stated key performance indicators had been established for each department, and the goal was to incorporate them into a format that Council could review by the second quarter. He explained the goals and performance indicators would also be posted to the City's website. Mayor Palmeri questioned if it would be presented in a format similar to a dashboard. Mr. Rohloff stated yes. He explained he was meeting with James Rabe, Director of Public Works, and the geographic information system (GIS) administrator to identify the applicable data necessary to create an alternative fee to replace special assessments. Council Member Herman questioned the timeline on the project. Mr. Rohloff explained he anticipated he would provide Council an update in May and action would be taken during a subsequent Council meeting. 13 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 Council Member Herman stated with street construction season approaching he imagined citizens would become concerned. Mr. Rohloff agreed and stated City staff was not able to promise anything to the citizens as it was a pending Council action item. Mayor Palmeri questioned when the draft would be available to Council. Mr. Rohloff stated the second meeting in May. He explained Jon Urben, General Services Manager, provided a memo as a follow-up to the Council workshop regarding the parks department operation facility. He explained barring any unforeseen maintenance issues, the anticipated cost ranged from$81,000 dollars to$225,000 dollars which did not include the cost of the roof. He stated the building was not designed for its current purpose and the project would depend on favorable economic conditions. He indicated the costs were necessary regardless of what was decided about renovating the facility. Mayor Palmeri explained there was video of the workshops Council held on both the parks facility and City hall available on the City's website. Council Member Mugerauer stated the costs would be incurred regardless if the parks facility was included in the 2021 or 2022 capital improvement project (CIP) as they were basic maintenance costs necessary to keep the building functional. He thanked City staff for putting the information together. He questioned when it was anticipated the project would be placed on the CIP. Mr. Rohloff stated it was dependent on favorable economic conditions that would allow the City to receive enough revenue to borrow funds for the cost of the facility. He explained while he could not give a specific year, the parks facility would be prioritized over other facility projects including City Hall, the police department and fire department. He stated the parks facility had legitimate safety concerns including the plumbing and electrical systems. Council Member Mugerauer explained he understood it may be difficult to know for certain which year the project would be put into the CIP, however, he did not believe it would be appropriate for City staff to 'spring' the project upon Council during budget season by requesting six million dollars for a new facility. Mr. Rohloff stated the project would require significant planning and he would anticipate the timeline to procced similar to the public works garage through phases. He explained the $81,000 dollars to $225,000 dollars was the cost anticipated in the near future, 14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL—APRIL 23, 2019 however, if a new facility was on the horizon, he would not want to spend that money. Council Member Herman stated he was concerned that spending those funds would be putting a band-aid on something that needed more serious attention. He explained there were three departments that worked out of the parks facility and it did not make sense to invest up to $225,000 dollars of taxpayer money as a temporary fix if a new facility would be constructed in three years. He stated the building was in poor condition and not worth investing in. Council Member Allison-Aasby explained when she first was elected to Council the city garage and the parks facility were in the same condition. She explained the city garage project was completed in phases over several years. She questioned if it was an item the long range finance committee should review, and consider reviewing the City's CIP and the potential to increase it. She stated she had served on the long range finance committee for a number of years, and although she would not serve on the committee this year, she would be willing to help or add insight. Mayor Palmeri explained she believed the topic should be brought back as an agenda item with additional detail. Mr. Rohloff stated the Oshkosh Corporation update was provided to Council and things were going well. He explained the date for the transition to monthly utility billing had changed and resulted in bills that reflected up to 108 days. He stated the actual cost had not increased, it was a difference in when the bills were paid. He explained City staff was on track for one month bills for May. He stated the project schedule for the Lakeshore Park master plan had been included in Council's packet. He explained there was an advisory parks board kickoff meeting scheduled for Monday, May 61h and the POLCO online questionnaire would open on May 171h and close on June 51h. He stated the results would be presented at a public visioning meeting on June 101h and a workshop regarding conceptual design with various boards and commissions along with the consultant on July 81h. He explained City staff would like to receive as much public input as possible. Mayor Palmeri stated a number of graduations would occur on June 101h during the scheduled public input session and questioned if there would be a second opportunity for public input. She questioned who citizens should email comments to if they were unable to attend a session. Mr. Maurer indicated all of the meetings would allow public input. He explained the meeting on June 101h would be a working meeting with a breakdown into smaller groups. 15 PROCEEDINGS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL-APRIL 23, 2019 He encouraged members of the public to come forward to any of the meetings with questions or ideas. He recommended the public email him with any questions or comments.
