Oshkosh sustainability board creates subcommittee to revise land‑use and economic development chapter
Summary
The Sustainability Advisory Board voted to form a three‑member subcommittee — appointing Lisa Moore and Alyssa Reinke alongside the appointing member — to work with staff and consultant Graef on the land‑use and economic development chapter, aiming to return draft comments within two weeks.
The Oshkosh Sustainability Advisory Board voted to create a three‑member subcommittee to review and refine the Land Use and Economic Development chapter of the city’s sustainability plan, the board decided at its Sept. 4 meeting.
Emma (city staff) told the board that the consultant Graef requested a single chapter to be finalized as a model before the consultant completes the rest of the plan. The board approved forming a core three‑person team to work with staff and the consultant and gave the subcommittee a two‑week timeline to produce edits the consultant can incorporate.
Board members moved and approved the formation of the subcommittee by voice vote without recorded roll-call names. The board chair (unnamed in the transcript) then appointed the three core members for the initial chapter: the chair themself; Lisa Moore; and Alyssa Reinke. The appointees agreed to participate and staff said they would coordinate scheduling. The board asked that the subcommittee aim to return draft input to staff by Sept. 22 so the consultant can incorporate it and provide a revised draft before the next full board meeting.
During the discussion, members noted scheduling constraints and agreed the subcommittee can meet separately and bring consolidated recommendations back to the full board. Emma and staff will join the subcommittee meetings as needed.
The board also noted upcoming community events and the next meeting date: the board set its next regular meeting for Monday, Oct. 6, and staff confirmed the farmers market date of Oct. 11 and a community bat event at Sheldon Nature Area on Oct. 3 organized with Urban Ecology Oshkosh.
Actions taken at the meeting included approval of the Aug. 4 minutes earlier in the session and the formal vote to create the subcommittee, both by voice vote. Board members were reminded to submit any sustainability plan comments to staff by the stated internal deadline so the consultant can finalize the chapter for board review and, ultimately, recommendation to council.
