Council discussed amending this ordinance and discussed that the city attorney draft some options for the second reading amendment. Chief Smith also spoke about this ordinance and explained how potential citations would be written, and how an "escalator" clause would be beneficial.

Council suggested that making this fee zero dollars may not be ideal. There are costs associated with this permit (administrative fees etc…). Other council members mentioned that they believe a zero dollar amount is sufficient. Some council members believe that if there is no charge, citizens will be more apt to read and educate themselves on rules.

Council is very supportive of this resolution. This Tax Increment District will focus on the expansion of the City of Oshkosh and help create opportunities for development in the north coordinator. Ehlers representative Todd Taves spoke briefly about the creation of this TID and how it is unique and a healthy decision for Oshkosh.

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).

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.
