					COUNCIL DISCUSSION, DIRECTION TO CITY MANAGER & FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
					Discussion and Direction to City Manager
					Direction from Council on Truck Route Changes as a Result of KL Engineering Study Presentation   Transportation Director Collins is looking to council for direction about changing the truck routes and the truck route presentation given two weeks ago. Transportation Director Collins and Public Works Director Rabe both agree that changing the truck route designation would be easier than changing the designated highway. At this time, staff recommends that council look at the ordinance, and any recommendations be made together (at a later date i.e. change the existing truck routes and the designation of highways).
					Disposition of Remaining Combination "Class B" Liquor Licenses (Larson) Council Member Larson and City Manager Rohloff discussed that there may be other mechanisms for issuing liquor licenses in the City of Oshkosh. But, these discussions cannot happen until all liquor licenses are distributed. Therefore, staff and council need to determine how to distribute the two combination “Class B” licenses that the city has available.
