The Oshkosh Common Council should:
1.) Reconsider the vote and close out the 4imprint TIF. Make sure the taxpaying public here hears and celebrates the job-growing success story we have seeded in our downtown. Return that TIF's taxable value to the property tax rolls. Our school district and county could use their shares sooner than later.
2.) As it reconsiders the vote, direct staff to make the first spans of Oshkosh river walk are a priority in the 2009 and 2010 capital improvement budgets and beyond. Oshkosh believes in that project and its unifying vision. So, let's pay for it the right way.

Instead of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
2 questions Tony:
In light of this weeks news that Funds for the riverwalk are available through the City of Oshkosh Redevelopment Authority;
can the TIF #15 discussion be brought back for reconsideration?
If the council declines to purchase of the Chamber building $450,000 would provide a very nice start for the riverwalk.
I support building "up"
NOT buying to tear down.
