Sustainability board hears farmers market feedback on lakeshore fishing access and cost-of-living concerns
Summary
At its Aug. 4 meeting, the Oshkosh Sustainability Advisory Board heard member-reported feedback from the summer farmers market about no-fishing signs on the lakeshore and broader cost-of-living concerns; members also coordinated volunteers for the next market.
The Sustainability Advisory Board met Aug. 4 and heard member-reported feedback from attendees at the summer farmers market about public access and local affordability. Board members said citizens flagged signs prohibiting fishing along the lakeshore as a public-access and sustainability concern, and multiple attendees raised cost-of-living pressures in the City of Oshkosh.
Those issues were raised in discussion rather than as formal agenda items. The board did not adopt a policy or vote on either lakeshore fishing access or affordability measures at the meeting; members discussed them as topics for future attention.
Board members confirmed volunteer coverage for the next farmers market, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 9 (the meeting noted “this Saturday, which is the ninth”). Members who said they would attend the market included Brad Spanbauer, Jaden Zern, Jacob Claymeier and Lisa Moore; one member said they might be tentative because of a family hospitalization. A board member said someone would need to pick up tents and materials at City Hall on the preceding Friday.
No public comment occurred at the meeting; the board opened the floor to public comment and recorded none. The board approved minutes from its July 7 meeting and adjourned the Aug. 4 session.
