Council approves CIP amendment for Lakeshore Drive, landscape contract and neighborhood grants; ordinance vote rescinded
Summary
The council approved three resolutions adding Lakeshore Drive reimagination to the CIP, awarding a landscape-architect contract and funding neighborhood capital projects; an ordinance vote on a zone change was rescinded and will be reintroduced on a future agenda.
The Oshkosh Common Council took several formal actions on ordinance and resolution items during the meeting. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda by roll call (Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow — all aye). No individual consent items were discussed at length.
- Ordinance 24-560 (zone change at 2875 Alice Avenue): The council initially moved and voted to approve ordinance 24-560 (roll call recorded as all ayes: Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow). After members noted procedural errors related to the motion and voting sequence, a motion to rescind that vote was made and carried by roll call (Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow — all aye). The council indicated the item will be placed on the next agenda for proper first reading.
- Resolution 24-561: The council approved amending the Capital Improvement Program to include Lakeshore Drive Reimagination in 2027. The roll-call vote was recorded as all ayes (Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow). The resolution adds planning resources for landscape and site improvements tied to the water filtration/clearwells replacement work and includes public-engagement requirements.
- Resolution 24-562: The council approved a professional services agreement with Seiki Design, Inc., for landscape architect services for Lakeshore Drive reimagination related to the water filtration/clearwells replacement project (roll-call vote: Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow — all aye). The contract includes public workshops, coordination with park and museum staff, and public-art considerations.
- Resolution 24-563: The council approved Neighborhoods Great Neighborhoods Capital Improvement Program funding in the amount of $72,500 (roll-call vote: Flom, Stevenson, Nichols, Larson, Eslinger, Bulow — all aye). The allocation funds neighborhood projects such as utility box wraps and other small-scale improvements.
The council also recorded a procedural motion to rescind the earlier ordinance vote and indicated the zoning ordinance will be brought back for formal first reading at the next meeting. Detailed vote tallies were captured on the public record by roll call for each item listed above.
