OSHKOSH, Wis–The Winnebago County Board signs off on an emergency order to staff and operate the Day by Day Warming Shelter in Oshkosh. County Executive Jon Doemel issued the order right before Christmas, after the shelter announced it was closing its doors for at least two weeks due to staffing issues.
Supervisor Steven Binder of Oshkosh says the shelter needs to stay open at this time of year.
Supervisor Paul Eisen of Menasha–while supporting the emergency order–questions if Day by Day can remain viable long term…………….
County Executive Jon Doemel says he has his own concerns about shelter operations.
Under the emergency order issued by Doemel, the county will operate the shelter through January 9th, but that could be extended all the way out to February 28th.
