The Oshkosh Common Council meeting on September 9, 2025, featured a significant discussion regarding stormwater management related to local development projects. Council members expressed concerns about the responsibilities of managing stormwater runoff, particularly in relation to new developments.

During the meeting, a representative voiced strong opposition to the idea that existing residents, specifically those in the Oshkosh bridal residences, should bear the burden of stormwater issues arising from new developments. The representative emphasized that the responsibility for managing stormwater should fall on the city and the developers of the properties in question, rather than on current residents.

This discussion highlights ongoing challenges in urban planning and development in Oshkosh, as the council navigates the balance between growth and the needs of existing communities. The council's response to these concerns will be crucial in shaping future policies on development and environmental management in the city.

As the council continues to address these issues, residents will be watching closely to see how their concerns are integrated into future planning efforts.
