August 29th Fifth Tuesday Forum notes

The notes from the August 29th Fifth Tuesday Forum have been posted on my website. A limited number of copies will be available Thursday morning on the ledge inside the main entrance to City Hall. Please contact me if you have any questions.

The final Fifth Tuesday Forum of 2006 is scheduled for October 31st, however, that might be changed due to a council budget workshop. I will post the exact date, time and location here and on my website.

  • Thanks for publishing your notes Brian. You and others at the meeting obviously asked some pointed “tough” questions.

    I was disappointed, but not surprised at the responses that were given by City Department Supervisors. As a citizen, when I read the replies, all I come away with is arrogance and the desire to maintain their status-quo.

    I believe the only way you and your fellow city councilors will be able to serve the citizens of Oshkosh is to DEMAND, not ask, for method improvements.

    It appears none of the Supervisors are TEAM players. They clearly have self serving interest at the root of their decision making process. No improvements can occur until people start thinking “out-of-the box” with regard to cost savings, downsizing, consolidation and process improvement. These Supervisors and Managers are obviously not prepared for that challenge and I submit, they need to be taken to task by our City Council as there highest level Management body!

    The editorial in the 9-12-06 issue of the Northwestern was right on target Brian. People will not tolerate status quo any longer. You have the skills and knowledge to drive this change, people support you. Time to take off your kid gloves and get this job accomplished!
