Here is a brief recap of last night’s council meeting. You can watch the full meeting below from Oshkosh Media.

➡️ Council discussed and had staff clarify and explain a recent announcement regarding the future of Oshkosh Media. I want to thank everyone who attended the meeting and spoke on this topic. I believe the leaders at OCM provided very reasonable requests for the invaluable service they give to this community.

Council has to have discussions and deliberate before a decision of this magnitude is taken. It's my hope that council is able to have those conversations with staff and OCM leaders soon before any decision on the future of OCM is decided.

➡️ Res 26-100, final resolution for partial right-of-way vacation of Eichstadt Rd, 135 feet south of Freedom Avenue, was approved.

➡️ Council discussed and instructed staff to draft changes for adoption on how council fills vacancies for council members and the mayor. Proposed changes include:
-Shortening the window for applications
