Parks board votes to recommend 2025–26 CIP priorities to Oshkosh city council

The Parks Advisory Board moved and voted to recommend its prioritized capital improvement program (CIP) for 2025–26 to the City of Oshkosh council after a presentation of citizen survey results and staff project proposals.

Staff framed the recommended two‑year window around near‑term needs such as restroom updates, park‑trail maintenance, court resurfacing with added pickleball courts, playground replacements and selected signage/LED upgrades at Leach Amphitheatre. For larger projects, staff proposed phasing and using the current $500,000 allotment to complete design work or to redo a single diamond at the REITs complex rather than requesting the full multi‑million‑dollar replacement at once.

The motion to recommend the CIP package was made, seconded and carried in a roll‑call/voice vote recorded in the transcript; the meeting chair announced the motion as passed. The transcript records the vote as carried; the board then proceeded with regular status reports and adjourned.
