Resident urges Menasha to avoid scheduling conflicts so constituents can attend meetings

Crystal Oakes, giving her name and address to the council, asked city officials to avoid scheduling important meetings on nights when other government bodies meet so constituents can attend and ask questions in person. "Could you please try to make meetings, particularly like the flood plain meeting? Try to make them on nights where other government bodies do not meet," Oakes said; she noted Winnebago County Supervisors were meeting next Tuesday and she would not be able to attend.

Oakes said she would watch the meeting afterward but emphasized that being present would allow her to ask constituents' questions directly. The council accepted the public comment during the designated public‑comment period and then moved on to other agenda items and adjournment.
