EyeOnOshkosh Oshkosh City Manager Mark Rohloff, taped 10-3-2024
On the most recent episode of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl Hentz discussed an array of issues with Oshkosh City Manager Mark Rohloff. Besides his plans for his impending retirement from the City, the two discussed his accomplishments and those things that were challenges and still not resolved, like homelessness and race issues.
They
spent a fair amount of time discussing revaluation of properties in the coming
year and the reasons why, especially when they were just done, and at what cost
for some. They also discussed the possible tax implications for people who saw a
big jump in the worth of their property, based on the revaluation done earlier
this year. Affordable housing was another big issue that rounded out the
discussion.

EyeOnOshkosh - Rebuilding Together Fox Valley and the Oshkosh Civility Project are featured on this episode
On the most recent edition of Eye on Oshkosh, host Cheryl
Hentz spends part of the hour with Chip Wood, executive director of Rebuilding
Together Fox Valley. This is a nonprofit program designed to make, free of
charge, critical and other safety repairs in homes owned by people who meet
certain income requirements and nonprofits in the region. Learn more about the
work this organization does and if you or someone you know qualifies.
In the second segment, Hentz talks with Sue Panek and Alex
Hummel from the Oshkosh Civility Project about what the project is and what it
was created to do. We live in a society where people are short-tempered, often frustrated
and not always polite. Sometimes that may come about from disagreements or misunderstandings,
but OCP tries to teach people how to find what they have in common with someone
as opposed to what they don’t have in common, and how to settle differences in
a way that leaves people feeling positive instead of tearing each other down to
feel better about themselves.
