Hello Council Members,
After talking with Mayor Tower and Karl Nollenberger from the PAR Group, I have been asked to schedule individual interviews with council members and Mr. Nollenberger on Thursday February 21, 2008. Karl is flexible and willing to accommodate day or evening appointments. Please call me to schedule.
I will certainly call to schedule. Are there questions or comments you would like me to forward on to Mr. Nollenberger? Post them here or email me at tpalmeri@ci.oshkosh.wi.us or call me at 235-1116.
