PLAN COMMISSION/COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: CONSIDERATION: RESOLUTION 17-24/APPROVING TERRITORY AND PROJECT PLAN AMENDMENT #1 OF TIF DISTRICT NO. 4: [Trustee Thoemke joined the meeting]. Administrator Gadow review with the Board his memo regarding TID#3 and #4 Amendment recommendations. The amendments are 1) an amendment to TID#4 (Backtown area) to amend the district boundaries to add in forty (40) additional downtown properties into the District; and 2) an Allocation Amendment between TIDs #3 and #4 that would allow the Village the ability (but would not obligate it) to transfer/”donate” excess TID increment from TID#3 to TID#4.

Administrator Gadow reported that both the CDA and the Plan Commission have reviewed the proposed amendments and at their separate meetings and are recommending the following amendments for TID#4:

1) The addition of forty (40) parcels to TID#4 bringing the Village’s total assessed value percentage to 10.9% of the State’s 12% limit. This would make those additional project eligible for possible TID funding for projects.

2) Amending the TID#4 Project Plan to include three (3) additional specific project costs: Lighting on the existing trail and Backtown proposed trail Sugar River Trail crossing enhancements (e.g. Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons at

6th Avenue and STH 69) Dog Park facilities (fencing, etc., with the District boundaries).

The Board discussed the importance of including the additional parcels in anticipation of future projects, noting any TID assistance would need to be provided by the Board on a case-by-case basis. They also confirmed that the list of specific projects would need Board approval in order for the project(s) to proceed. Trustee Thoemke noted that while it seems the TID assessed values are close to the State’s limit at this time, that percentage will drop as assessed values increase over time. The Joint Review Board met on June 29, 2017 to discuss the amendments and have scheduled a meeting for July 26, 2017 to make a determination on the amendment. Village staff is recommending approval of the amendments as well as a recommendation for approval to the Joint Review Board. Motion by Barb Anderson, second by Denise Anton Wright to approve Resolution 17-24. Motion carried (6-0). CONSIDERATION: RESOLUTION 17-25/APPROVING PROJECT PLAN AMENDMENT #1 OF TIF DISTRICT NO. 3: Administrator Gadow reported the amendment to TID#3 creates an Allocation Agreement Amendment that would allow the Village to transfer excess increment from TID#3 to TID#4, to assist with additional opportunities for redevelopment in TID#4. At present, it is anticipated TID#3 could generate excess revenue of approximately $1.1 to $1.3 million. Administrator Gadow informed the Board that this amendment does not obligate the Village to transfer funds, but rather


provides the opportunity for the Village should TID#4 projects and the Village benefit from such a transfer and that amount of transfer could be anything, up to the maximum allowed by the amendment. He further noted the pro of the amendment is allowing the Village additional options for funding TID#4 project, whereas; the con to the overlying taxing jurisdictions is a possible early closing of TID#3 with excess revenue to be split among all jurisdictions. The Board discussed the opportunities provided to the Village by having the ability to transfer excess TID#3 funds for use in TID#4. Motion by Peggy Kruse, second by Barb Anderson to approve Resolution 17-25. Motion carried (6-0). PUBLIC WORKS/PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE: UPDATE/DISCUSSION: PHOSPHORUS OPERATIONAL EVALUATION STUDY UPDATE: Administrator Gadow updated the Board on the work of Staff in cooperation with Strand Associates in preparation of the new DNR rules pertaining to phosphorus effluent limits. Public Works Director Scott Jelle reviewed the June 27, 2017 letter from Strand with the Board noting the current monthly average phosphorus concentration for the WWTP is 1.4 mg/L whereas the six-month average under the new rules will be to maintain a level lower than .12 mg/L. Director Jelle noted the Village will need to meet these new stricter rules with the renewal of the WWTP permit which will occur in four (4) years, emphasizing the importance of determining a plan for moving forward. He noted the following options:

1) Pay a designated amount, set by the DNR, to other entities doing improvements to their facilities.

2) Pay for projects upstream/downstream from WWTP to control phosphorus levels coming into the Sugar River, i.e. farm fields.

3) Pay for mechanical improvements to WWTP to help reduce phosphorus. Director Jelle went on to explain an Advanced Biological Nutrient Recovery system using algae that the Village of Monticello is currently testing with positive results. The Board discussed the possible options indicating an interest in the Advanced Biological Nutrient Recovery. Director Jelle noted the City of Milton is currently using the system. He added that implementation of a system for the Village of New Glarus would most likely require a new building which would take approximately 2 ½ to 3 years to complete. The Board further discussed the cost and funding along with availability of land for a possible new building/process for the phosphorus removal as well as the need for a sewer rate increase. UPDATE/DISCUSSION: ALLIANT ENERGY SUBSTATION PROJECT UPDATE: Public Works Director Scott Jelle updated the Board on recent discussions with Alliant Energy for New Glarus to retire the existing electric Substation on Railroad Street. Administrator Gadow noted previous discussion on this topic over the past year with staff anticipating bringing this item to the Board for formal consideration and action in early fall. Director Jelle referred the Board to an outline of options for wholesale power delivery for New Glarus Utilities, indicating staff recommendation for scenario #2 which would retire the substation on Railroad Street that would be rebuilt by the Village utility on property currently owned by the Village south of the WWTP. It would also include an agreement with Alliant for land at the same site to build a sub-station that would replace the existing sub-station on Airport Road and serve the Monticello/Belleville area in addition to New Glarus. This option would benefit both New Glarus Utility and Alliant as it would allow for each system to have a backup readily available. The anticipated cost of the project would be approximately $2,035,000. Director Jelle noted the increase value to the electric equipment would result in an increase in the payment in lieu of taxes


to the Village as well. Director Jelle is beginning the necessary paperwork for filing with American Transmission Company (ATC) to keep the project moving forward. ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: UPDATE: HABITAT FOR HUMANITY PROJECT AT 100 1ST STREET: Village Staff is in the process of finalizing the acceptance of the 100 1st Street property (the “Wray Property”) from Green County, in order to transfer to the property to Habitat for Humanity, per the Board’s direction of July 2016 and February 2017. On July 21st, the County will transfer the property to the Village via tax deed, at which time the Village will deed the property to Habitat. Habitat will be responsible for payment of the back taxes and demolition and removal of the existing structure on the property. The Village will also be entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Habitat for Humanity of Green County regarding the demolition of the building, costs and liability. Habitat is planning to begin work on Saturday, July 22nd. Administrator Gadow informed the Board he will be attending Government Finance Officer training the next two days. ADJOURN: Being no further business before the Board, President Truttmann adjourned the meeting at 7:53 p.m.

Schenck SC

August 1, 2017

Members of the Village Board Village of New Glarus We have completed the rate analysis and application to increase water rates, using a 2017 test year and will walk through the application and observation on August 1st. We have attached some summary data to illustrate the need for the increase, and its impact on your customers. Key Observations:

The water utilities rate of return has decreased from 4.48% in 2012 to 1.30% for 2016.

The decrease in rate of return is attributable o Relatively stable operating revenues (increased less than $10,000 in 5 years). o Inflationary pressures on operating and maintenance expenses since the last rate

application. o Increasing capital improvements have resulted in higher capital related costs

(borrowing, depreciation, etc.) Recommendations:

The PSC generally allows rate increases up to 6% in certain instances. We are recommending the Village apply for an increase of 5% to 5.5%, resulting in an increase between 32% and 36%.

The Village should evaluate placing all of the public fire protection as a customer charge. Our analysis forecasts the impact of making the change on the average customers.

Sincerely,

Schenck SC

New Glarus Water Utility - Public Fire Protection

Under Wis. Stat. § 196.03(3)(b), the municipality has chosen to have the utility bill the retail generalservice customers for public fire protection service.

The Village has elected in the past to allocate a portion of the public fire protection to water customers, with the Village's general fund absorbing the remaining balance. As part of this rate application, we analyzed the impact of allocating 100% of the public fire protection charge to customers.

MINUTES OF THE VILLAGE OF NEW GLARUS

JOINT REVIEW BOARD 7/26/17

CALL TO ORDER: Chair Dave Wyttenbach called the meeting to order at 5:07 p.m. PRESENT: Sherri Hawkins (Green County representative), Travis Zimmerman (School District representative), Dave Wyttenbach (Village representative), Tim Casper (Madison Area Technical College representative), Andrew Bremer (MSA Professional Services), Greg Thoemke (Village Trustee), and Administrator Bryan Gadow. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF JUNE 29, 2017: Travis Zimmerman moved to approve the June 29, 2017 Meeting Minutes, second by Dave Wyttenbach. Motion carried. DISCUSSION OF PROJECT PLAN TO AMEND TID#3 TO ESTABLISH TID#3 AS A “DONOR TID” TO TID#4 “RECIPIENT TID”: Andrew Bremer reviewed the proposed amendment to TID#3, which would set up an allocation agreement between TIDs #3 and #4 that would allow the Village to transfer up to $1.3 to $1.6 million in excess TID increment from TID#3 to TID#4. He noted that the purpose of this amendment was to provide the Village with an additional tool to jump start redevelopment opportunities in TID#4, with the excess increment from the successful TID#3.
