Council members also amended two liquor-license resolutions to remove an internal checklist from the body of the resolution and to require that remaining required inspections and approvals be completed by June 2, 2025.

Key actions at a glance:

- Approved Ordinance 25-238: Amend parking-lot maps and related regulations in Appendix 27B for the 300 E slot and 300 W slot (Transportation Committee recommended approval). Vote: carried, 6-0.

- Approved Ordinance 25-239: Amend sections 27A-8 and 27A-10 to designate a yield/right-of-way intersection and stop control at Nevada Avenue and Oak Street (Oak Street to stop for Nevada). Vote: carried, 6-0.

- Approved Resolution 25-216: Special area design review and architectural building plan review for a new restaurant, restroom/waiting-area building and bus platform at 110 Pearl Avenue (Planning Commission recommended approval). One council member abstained, citing a conflict because 222 Pearl Avenue was the previous office of their employer; the resolution carried.

- Approved Resolution 25-217: Conditional use permit request for transit-center expansion at 110 Pearl Avenue and related Pearl/High Avenue properties (Planning Commission recommended approval). Vote: carried; one member recorded as present/abstaining.

- Approved Resolution 25-245 (amended): Issuance of a Combination Class B (beer & liquor) license for Golden Nest Pancake Cafe. The council voted to remove an internal completion checklist from the resolution and added language requiring that all required inspections and approvals be completed by June 2, 2025. Vote: carried.

- Approved Resolution 25-246 (amended): Conditional surrender and issuance of a Combination Class B license from Mile High Pub to 1890 Pub & Bistro; council removed the chart and added the same June 2, 2025 language. Vote: carried.

Procedural note on licenses: Council members discussed concerns about including a staff checklist inside a resolution when final inspections (health, fire) had not been completed. The council adopted an amendment removing the chart and adding a requirement that “all required inspections and approvals to be completed by 06/02/2025.” Staff said some final inspections (health department) were still pending and the fire marshal was on vacation and would follow up when back in the office.

How council voted: Roll-call votes were recorded for each item; the council's recorded voting members included Bulow, Stevenson, Larson, Spannbauer, Flom and Muggleauer (aye votes recorded in roll calls in the transcript). Where an abstention was recorded, the council member said they were abstaining because of a potential conflict tied to 222 Pearl Avenue and their employer.

What next: First readings were held for two ordinances (25-243 pedestrian mall code amendments and 25-244 alcohol-beverage license use amendments); both will return for action at a future meeting. Planning- and transportation-related items will follow standard implementation steps in staff departments.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Oshkosh Common Council 5/13/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Oshkosh Common Council on May 13, 2025 approved multiple ordinances and resolutions changing parking maps, traffic controls, zoning and liquor-license procedures, and amended liquor-license resolutions to require remaining inspections and approvals by June 2, 2025.","taxTitle","Oshkosh City, Winnebago County, Wisconsin","taxId",5129,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6557700,"Residents and business owners urge council to revisit Bay Street sidewalk plan",538,640000,1178000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3288450-d3cad741486609891740f63323489c04&start=640&end=1178","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3288450-d3cad741486609891740f63323489c04/thumbnail_640000.jpg","/articles/6557700/Oshkosh-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Residents-and-business-owners-urge-council-to-revisit-Bay-Street-sidewalk-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557700-e731802ec18915242abd8fa1c5266c9a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194626&Signature=Q9FmMLxYGE4E6cOxJ8qoqWJL6fkVhAmGlSqLVpnQgFLo7OpN4aaKKTb-HeuMpVbVBim6r2aja48gvk8SfMW4vOb0Q2Of92pfK~DSV8raWB6HEndgt5qhUFJrsn4vx0hi1sUxI5WAMbZJiKALpxZItZAvIQL6mODjvAJ~lZ81mrDGhyrHsyposCItOdz68DjMLs4GwwFzJ25OjqskIF9dCIhYI75FEj8pIdGJRC01miZ3bHosTaqYpAcXRTC-Nf~vel4OcQeiNzmbb7CFal~pObj2tL2IuMrjKuZR4iO20gSaY0J29aDrJ~5Zbp56EzoLG~6AYntnvfRH3o4E~xsknA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the May 13, 2025 meeting of the Oshkosh Common Council, two residents and business owners asked the council to rescind or modify a planned sidewalk and road-improvement plan for Bay Street between Bayshore and DeSalle, saying the designs would interfere with building access and remove parking.

Mike Morris, who identified himself as a member of the Midnight Club at 7 Bay Street, told the council he first learned of the sidewalks after the city approved the road improvement plan. \"The sidewalk will be on the inside of the electric poles as I'm guessing. They would greatly interfere with the apron and entrance to the gentleman's business on the corner,\" Morris said, adding that the sidewalk could force removal of a pine tree and an antenna pole and that \"part of our steps will be in the sidewalk area.\" He said the proposed sidewalk would end at building steps and could create hazards for people on bikes or walking.

Another nearby property owner, who gave his name as Mike Shuttle and said he lives at 62 Broad Street, told the council the sidewalk would eliminate a legally permitted parking spot in front of a garage apron that he uses and that he had heard — but staff had not confirmed — that no-parking restrictions might be posted on both sides of Bay Street after the work. \"If they put up no parking like that, can you tell me if they were planning on doing that, putting up the no parking on both sides of that street?\" Shuttle asked. He said losing on-street parking would hamper work and deliveries for the nearby storage and boat-related uses.

Council members did not debate or vote on the project. The council chair said state law prevents deliberation on items not on the published agenda and assured the speakers the matter would not be ignored. Council members directed staff to follow up: Public Works Director Robbie said staff would consult engineering and transportation staff and provide more information to council members, and the mayor's office said it would ensure staff reach out to affected property owners.

Why it matters: the street-improvement plan is a 2025 project and, as presented by residents, could reduce parking and change building access for small businesses and property owners along the water. The council did not take formal action at the meeting; any changes would require staff review and, if needed, later formal agenda action.

What happens next: Council members asked for a memo or email from Public Works/transportation staff with more information and for staff to contact the property owners who spoke. No timeline for that follow-up was given at the meeting.

Requests for further detail at the meeting included whether final parking restrictions would be posted and whether any final design would require removal of the antenna pole or steps; these questions were left for staff to answer in follow-up communications.","Two Bay Street property owners told the Oshkosh Common Council on May 13 that a planned sidewalk and related street work would block access, remove structures and reduce parking; council members directed staff to follow up and provide more information.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6557690,"Council approves purchase of Southwest Industrial Parkland to support Leeco Steel expansion",557,2393000,2950000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3288450-d3cad741486609891740f63323489c04&start=2393&end=2950","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3288450-d3cad741486609891740f63323489c04/thumbnail_2393000.jpg","/articles/6557690/Oshkosh-City/Winnebago-County/Wisconsin/Council-approves-purchase-of-Southwest-Industrial-Parkland-to-support-Leeco-Steel-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6557690-aeba91908795ed900df71122b947ebbb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771194626&Signature=de8oezgcX24e-HHzta~KQbqjagr9FqNxZGkmyJrLWCutsck5HYhAYNK9TQGYtQFCMHNdSkBu5ACJJTQO6Sr1GKvE323dVfMLTRYgosLH5WRZgMFQQODl8eznbWJwVVzWxkPhZArpgHgeaBIaXv1adG9VnvJUUX9nJv2E7acnvvVrf4ZfegjkrK4WRrehRmhs-ss4CkgVOS5OnUDF5AmqWzp3VXMdBXD2z9lhXcE1~JWL~qqaTIF5i2DGF-6gFGN9Uw74amIyE0v-1tq2Quf-u3yJ1pz62M9zx~84djiPdIP~gQ2VQTZN-HDi4anuBYVxHJg2SkbhRdb99wi0~VvFqw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oshkosh Common Council on May 13 approved an offer to purchase Southwest Industrial Parkland from Leeco Steel LLC for $249,776.80 to support a company expansion.

City staff introduced Resolution 25-247, and Leeco representatives described the firm's history in Oshkosh. Chad Shue (identified at the meeting as project manager for Leeco Steel) said Leeco built a 75,000-square-foot facility in 2006 in the South Industrial Park and is now planning additional work. \"Everybody that I've talked to, I've talked to a lot of people, and it's gone very well with the city staff and economic group, everyone. It's been real nice. We really appreciate you guys, having us here and listening to us,\" Shue said. Denton Norhues (spelled Norhues in the meeting record) also thanked the council for support.

Council members praised the company's commitment to expand and retain manufacturing jobs locally; one council member asked how many additional full-time equivalents the expansion would add, but Leeco did not provide a specific number at the meeting. A deputy mayor and several council members reiterated support for keeping manufacturing in the city.

The council approved the resolution by roll call; the clerk recorded the vote as carried. No conditions tying the purchase to specific job-creation numbers were stated during the meeting.

Why it matters: The sale secures land for a local manufacturer's planned expansion and signals municipal support for industrial retention. The purchase price recorded in the resolution is $249,776.80.

What next: City staff and Leeco will proceed with closing and site development steps according to the approved offer; the transcript shows staff will coordinate next steps but no firm schedule or job-count commitments were recorded at the meeting.","The Oshkosh Common Council on May 13 approved an offer to purchase land from Leeco Steel LLC for $249,776.80 to enable an expansion; company representatives described past investment in Oshkosh and the council praised the retention and expected growth of local manufacturing.","actionData","errors"]
