State Representative Palmeri honors Oshkosh City Manager Mark Roloff at farewell meeting

City Manager Mark Roloff was honored at the Oshkosh Common Council meeting on December 10, 2024, marking his final official meeting after a distinguished career spanning over 40 years in public service. Roloff, who has served as Oshkosh's city manager since February 2008, received a heartfelt tribute from State Representative Laurie Palmeri, who presented him with a citation from the Wisconsin State Legislature.

Palmeri, a former council member and mayor of Oshkosh, reflected on her own journey and the impact Roloff has had on the community. She highlighted his extensive experience, which includes roles in California and Colorado before his tenure in Wisconsin. Under Roloff's leadership, Oshkosh has seen significant improvements in service delivery and community engagement.

The citation acknowledged Roloff's contributions not only to Oshkosh but also to local governance across Wisconsin, including his involvement in the recent changes to the state's shared revenue program, which resulted in the largest increase in state support for local governments in history.

As the meeting concluded, council members and attendees expressed their gratitude for Roloff's dedication and leadership, wishing him well in his future endeavors. His departure marks the end of an era for Oshkosh, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to public service and community development.
