Guest Speakers –
a. Mark Rohloff, Oshkosh City Manager – partner on things that effect students if
you have taken local government essentially he is the chief exec hired by council
not elected. Council board of directors for city only on student government as an
elected position. Five priorities for the city - being accountable and have
dashboards strengthening neighborhoods qualify of life not every city has a
museum and a park system, diversity supporting thrive and move one,
infrastructure is very basic it is poor now 8 years it was worse. Algoma at least
you were here in 2008 had to put a lot of priority into infrastructure, we are at 2
still reporting streets, underneath is where you pay attention streets surrounding
sewers date backing to 1880. Guiding Principles: Can do Spirit, Accountable,
Transparent, Engaging, Economical, Responsive, Innovation, Equitable. Our

VIII.
from getting watered down that we could not have a program the purpose of rental
registry know who owns the proprieties so if problems can bring to the landlord
but did not want them to have the property and they did not want to get called
when be review documents even past the end of the school year to get an
understanding, the tenant has to let notifies us or we notify them that and how to
collaborate with students and show this is in their best interest not their parents,
we have a lot of lead pipes that is the property owners and here is what you look
for students to lead not your fault not helping us, if we can test for lead we have to
respect the right to not let people in their house, have an issue with, dent
government a pitch for local government local government and leave a legacy.
Schettle: thank you invite the city in why is it that way, the power to inform
tenants they are going on in 24 hours why is on the tenants only. Was not in our
AB 168 or 568 legislator it was written in there. Sparks: graduating in May lease
up in August, currently how does that work the rent closer to campus can get up
there and fixes have to be made and falls right back on the tenants. It is touch but
how do I let you know how to reach you. The River Walk is a project trying to
get a grant to work on the bridge, thinking of putting a grocery stop, Pick N Save

II.
Discussion –
a. Carter yields to guest: Was it hard to explain the expansion of alcohol to Reeve staff?
Chief of Staff not here today but Reeve staff did seem open to expanding. How will this
work if the Chancellor wants to move to dry campus? Answer: That would be a 180 that
was told to us so need to find out so more of a discussion with Reeve and their
administration and the Chancellor has authority to override it. Jordan is curious to see if
he changes his stance on it for the next two years.
b. grade policy 2008 policy passed not the percentages but we would have an A B C and
few administrators provide that grade in their class can always change that A- or B+ at
the conference it was brought up and discussed Dr. Karl get ideas go to the chairs first

time and will transfer on to those that will be here next year.
