There was a strong desire / demand for a mountain bike facility / park in Ozaukee County during the development and adoption of the County Park and Open Space Plan (POSP). Project activities would include site planning in conjunction with organizations (e.g., Ozaukee County Mountain Bike Club (OCMBC), Wisconsin Off-Road Bike Association (WORBA)), and construction (likely completed by Ozaukee County Highway Department) would likely include excavation, grading, and restoration. There is a potential to get donations and grants to cover a portion of the development cost and also to cover the on-going operations and maintenance. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Mee-Kwon County Park road from Green Bay Road to Fromm Family Foods, Inc., needs repaving. The pavement has been in poor condition, as several portions are cracked and potholed and sinking/holding water, and the road has not been fully repaired in several years. This is also the main trucking route used by Fromm's Family Foods, Inc. Repaving the road would reduce required, ongoing maintenance. Repaving would be completed by the Highway Department and activities include excavation, pavement removals, grading, re-paving, and reshouldering. Paving from Boniwell Rd to the golf course parking lot has been paid for by fish passage grants and golf course enterprise funds. There is a possibility of cost sharing on this project with Fromm Family Foods, Inc and the golf course. This project includes paving the gravel north entrance and parking lot, which can get wet and muddy and the gravel tends to become potholed and hold water/ice, leading to potential safety concerns. The conditions can pose a potential issue for emergency (e.g., police and fire) response. Visitors have complained about the surface conditions, especially those visitors for weddings (7 in 2019) and other formal events. Covered Bridge County Park is a highly visited park in the Ozaukee County Park System, with approximately 44,551 total visits in 2025 with a daily average of 122 visits (though accurate counting is limited by the open access of the park). This project would compliment the new building and storage area project and new asphalt overlay on the south entrance for the park.This project would also improve the quality of Department service, reduce ongoing maintenance costs (currently requires regarding and graveling at least twice a year), and improve the visitors experience to this regional Park. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: OZAUKEE COUNTY 5 YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN This project includes construction of an open air pavilion in the west portion of Covered Bridge Park, for use as a rental area by the public. Covered Bridge County Park is a highly visited park in the Ozaukee County Park System, with approximately 44,551 total visits in 2025 with a daily average of 122 visits (though accurate counting is limited by the open access of the park). This project would compliment the new building and storage area project and new asphalt overlay on the south entrance for the park. This project would also improve the quality of Department service and improve the visitors experience to this regional Park. A secured Cedarburg Foundation grant ($10,000) will serve as partial funding. This project would pave the remaining park road and parking areas (north and middle) at Ehlers County Park. The remaining park road and parking areas (north and middle) is gravel, which can get wet/muddy. Visitors have complained about the surface conditions. Poor parking and road conditions do not provide a quality level of service to park users and poses a potential issue for emergency (e.g. fire and police) response. Water has ponded/froze in potholed sections, causing unsafe conditions and ongoing maintenance (regrading and graveling at least twice a year). Repaving would be completed by the Highway Department and activities include excavation, grading, and paving. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes new siding on the Covered Bridge at Covered Bridge Park. The siding is starting to show signs of deterioration and missing sheathing. Visitors have noted this deterioration, especially those visitors for weddings (7 in 2019) and other formal events. Covered Bridge County Park is a highly visited park in the Ozaukee County Park System, with approximately 44,551 total visits in 2025 with a daily average of 122 visits (though accurate counting is limited by the open access of the park). Covered Bridge is the primary attraction in the park. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes a full cedar shake shingle roof replacement on the Covered Bridge at Covered Bridge Park. The roof is showing signs of deterioration, leaking, and missing shake shingles. Visitors have noted this deterioration, especially those visitors for weddings (7 in 2019) and other formal events. Covered Bridge County Park is a highly visited park in the Ozaukee County Park System, with approximately 44,551 total visits in 2025 with a daily average of 122 visits (though accurate counting is limited by the open access of the park). Covered Bridge is the primary attraction in the park.

There is no playground equipment at Tendick Nature Park. Suggested facility development at the park per the POSP (p. 95) and several visioning sessions included playground facilities at Tendick Nature Park as a recommendation. Tendick Nature Park is a highly used Park in the Ozaukee County Park system, with approximately 40,325 total visits in 2025, with a daily average of 110 visits. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project includes construction of an external entry shower room and storage room on the existing bathroom/pavilion building and associated connection to the Fredonia WWTP through the existing grinder pump. The bathrooms and shower rooms would also serve the tennis courts as well the campsites. Camping at Waubedonia Park is an extremely popular activity, as the campsites are routinely reserved and the campgrounds are at capacity through most of the camping season. There are no current shower facilities in Waubedonia Park to serve campers and/or tennis players. In addition, the Department utilizes youth conservation corps assistance for support within the Parks system each year, and several conservation corps (e.g., WisCorps, AmeriCorps NCCC) require lodging with access to showers. With available showers, the camping rates could be increased and camping stays would likely be consistently longer Waubedonia County Park is a highly used Park in the Ozaukee County Park system with approximately 135 127 visits in 2025 with a daily average of PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes the engineering, design and construction of a handicapped accessable bota/fishing pier and launch (e.g., launching kayaks, canoes, etc) and construction of a self-serve rental station adjacent to the handicapped accessible boat/fishing pier and launch at Waubedonia County Park. There is no current handicapped accessibility to the Milwaukee River at Waubedonia County Park. The pier and launch concept would be to install a floating handicapped accessible pier (e.g. similar to those installed at Veterans Memorial Park in the Village of Grafton and at Village Park in the Village of Thiensville on the Milwaukee River) that could be taken out during the winter months and then re-installed by staff each spring/summer. The rental station concept is similar to a recently completed self-serve rental station at Veterans Memorial Park in the Village of Grafton. The Department would prep the site an install a concrete pad for a third party to construct and operate the self-serve rental station under an annual lease amount. A self service method is where users download an ap which provides a QR code to unlock the kayak or canoe, paddles and life vests. Once the user has completed the paddle, the equipment is returned to the station and the rental is closed out per the app. Return on investment from rental payments is expected to be 3-5 years. This would facilitate handicapped accessibility to the Milwaukee River, additional camping rentals and use of the Park, and connection to the canoe/kayak launch at the Town of Fredonia properties in Waubeka. Waubedonia County Park is a highly used Park in the Ozaukee County Park system, with approximately 135,127 visits in 2025, with a daily average f 370 i it A di Wi i E i D l t C ti (WEDC) Vib t S t ($25 000) ill h l t j t t This project would include construction of a multi-purpose building at Clay Bluffs Cedar Gorge Nature Preserve that would include storage and maintenance areas for Department staff and will include an open air pavilion, heated public bathrooms, National Marine Sanctuary Center / Nature Center / Welcome Center (unstaffed) and a kitchen, research/partner office/meeting rooms and storage space. This would serve as match to other large grants (WCMP, NOAA, WDNR Stewardship). PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project includes the design, engineering, and construction of approximately 1,200' of boardwalk at Tendick Nature Park across the long wetland area on the river parcel down to the archery range. This would connect the hiking trails on the main Tendick Nature Park parcel with the river parcel. Currently, there are no formal hiking trails on the river parcel as there is a large wetland complex between the road (and main parcel) and the archery range and Milwaukee River kayak/canoe access. The boardwalk would facilitate this connection and additional hiking trails at Tendick Nature Park. In addition, cross country run participants/spectators are required to park on the river parcel (available parking), so this boardwalk would facilitate the necessary trail connections between the park parcels for large events. Highway recently completed a crosswalk and signage on CTH O for connecting both parcels and the necessity of this critical boardwalk.Tendick Nature Park is a highly used Park in the Ozaukee County Park system, with approximately 40,325 total visits in 2025, with a daily average of 110 visits County funds would provide for critical required match for a pending WDNR Stewardship grant to support overall project activities Page 12 of 107 PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Clay Bluffs Cedar Gorge Nature Preserve - Public Access Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 250,000 250,000 Grants WDNR - Secured 501,799 501,799 Grants WCMP - Secured 166,700 166,700 Grants NFWF SOGL - Secured 500,000 500,000 Grants USFS - Secured 125,800 125,800 Grants USFWS - Secured 300,000 300,000 Grants WEF - Secured 5,000 5,000 Grants ATC - Secured 5,000 5,000 Grants L&W Soil Health - Secured 3,205 3,205 PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Ulao Creek Fish and Wildlife Nature Preserve – Public Access Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 25,000 25,000 Grants SEWISC - Secured 2,000 2,000 Grants WEF - Secured 5,000 5,000 PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Little Menomonee River Fish and Wildlife Preserve – Public Access Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 30,000 30,000 Grants WDNR - Secured 40,000 40,000 PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Ozaukee Interurban Trail Improvements Option 1 Improving Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 375,000 375,000 Other (explain in comments) - PRIORITY: Desired PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Ozaukee Interurban Trail Improvements – Repaving County - Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 50,000 50,000 Grants WisDOT - Secured 999,212 999,212 PRIORITY: Urgent PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Parks Division – Security Gates & Cameras (new) Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 200,000 200,000 - PRIORITY: Required This project request is to widen municipal owned sections of the trail that are currently out of compliance (approximately 3.7 miles - $375,000) to meet the minimum 10’ width requirements per the WisDOT Wisconsin Bicycle Facility Design Handbook. The design handbook requires most new trails be 10' in width to comply with ADA requirements. These funds would support widening current 8’ (noncompliant) sections within the City of Cedarburg and a portion of the Village of Grafton from North Ave to Interurban bridge over the Milwaukee River, as well as support the onging repaving effort for the entire Ozaukee Interurban Trail. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project request is to support additional, unanticapated charges associated with the ongoing OIT repaving project (County managed sections). Specifically, the Department secured all identified WisDOT and WDNR approvals for the repaving project in 2025, including permission from the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) to work in areas adjacent to or within their right-of-way. During the initial construction phase, UP recinded their original approvals and is now requiring a lengthy design and engineering and permit review process with signficant review fees along with requiring the services of a a third-party flagging company during times of active construction near the UP right of way. These funds would assist with these unanticipated UP fees. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Automated, electric gates and security cameras are needed at Covered Bridge Park (1), Clay Bluffs Cedar Gorge Nature Preserve (1) and the Ansay Family Nature Preserve (1). Manual gates are inneficient - Parks staff need to manually open/close each gate & bathroom each day at each park (Mar - Nov) coinciding with park hours (closed 9 pm-6 am). Staff are required to travel to each location in the early morning and evening, resulting in difficult hours to staff, travel time and associated fuel costs. When staffing is limited due to staff shortages and/or vacations/sick, completing the task becomes a burden on other PT/FT employees. In addition, only staff that have gate keys can open the gates, which also becomes an issue when other staff are assisting with these duties, or when emergency vehicles need access to the parks outside posted hrs/weekends. Each gate will include a security camera to deter vandalism and to follow up with fines for ordinance violations. Estimated costs include electric hook up fees based on recent bids and completed projects. Automatic gates and cameras are already installed under prior County funding at Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve (1), Tendick Nature Park (2), Virmond County Park (1) and Hawthorne Hills County Park (2). Visitation will be comparably high with these parks. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project would implement public access activities at the new Ulao Creek Nature Preserve, which would include a small parking lot at the southwest corner of the property, multi-use trail network, a bridge over Ulao Creek, boardwalks over wetland or potentially restorable wetland areas, bike racks, informational kiosk(s) and signage, benches, garbage and recycling cans, park entrance signs, trail directional signage, and picnic tables. Project costs are estimated from recent similar features implemented at Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve and a recent Highway Department estimate. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project would implement public access activities at the new Nature Preserve, which would include (as a priority) a paved multi-use trail network (Route of the Badger connection) with a new culvert, a multi-use bridge over the Little Menomonee River, boardwalks over wetland or potentially restorable wetland areas, bike racks, informational kiosk(s) and signage, benches, portable bathroom shelter, garbage and recycling cans, park entrance signs, trail directional signage, and picnic tables. Project costs are estimated from similar features implemented at Lion’s Den Nature Preserve. This funding will provide critical match for the secured and extended WDNR Stewardship Grant (2024 - $40,000) and the total project cost is $70,000. The bridge design is signficantly complete and the culvert design is in progress under an engineering contract. An existing PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project would support developing recreational amenities at Clay Bluffs Cedar Gorge Nature Preserve (e.g. paved parking, 6 and 10 foot wide multi-use trail system, boardwalks, overlook area, benches, informational kiosk, bike racks, gravel bike parking, trash and recycling receptacles, etc.), which includes design, engineering, lumber, asphalt, materials, and labor for installation (potentially with the support of a youth conservation corps - e.g., Wisconsin Youth Conservation Corps (WisCorps), AmeriCorps NCCC, Milwaukee Community Service Corps (MCSC), Great Lakes Community Conservation Corps (GLCCC)). In addition, this project would implement ecological restoration activities per the Master Plan, which includes cover crop, prairie/grassland restoration, woodland management (Emerald Ash Borer management and mitigation and reforestation), overall vegetation management, restoring Potentially Restorable Wetlands, restoration along the Clay Seepage Bluffs, and invasive species management. This will serve as critical match funding to already secured (WDNR, WCMP NFWF SOGL USFS WEF ATC L&W and USFWS) grants Page 13 of 107 PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve – High Bluff Drive Paving Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 47,500 47,500 Other (explain in commenT. of Grafton Impact Fee - Pending 47,500 47,500 PRIORITY: Desired PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Parks Division - Skid Steer Attachments Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 47,000 47,000 - PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Parks Division - New Trailers Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 40,000 40,000 - PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Parks Division -Shady Lane Parks Superintendent House Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 50,000 50,000 - PRIORITY: Desired PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Planning Division - SEWRPC Assistance Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 25,000 25,000 - PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Ansay Family Nature Preserve - Bathroom Pavilion Building Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) 600,000 600,000 - PRIORITY: Required PROJECT NAME STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE PRIMARY SOURCE OF FUNDING FUNDING SOURCE COMMENT 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 TOTAL Parks Division - Virmond Caretakers Residence Addition Develop Recreational and Cultural Destinations for Tourism, Residents, and Businesses Tax Levy (Budget Process) ###### 125,000 - PRIORITY: Desired This project includes repair/replacement of the siding at the Shady Lane Parks Superintendent residence. The existing brick and wood siding is crumbling/rotting/failing in several spots, requiring repairs or replacements. This project is consistent with the new metal roof installed at the residence in 2021. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes contracting with the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC) for assistance in redoing/updating shoreland floodplain mapping and comprehensive plan amendments (comprehensive plan updates are required by state law 66.1001 wis stats). PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Ansay Family Nature Preserve was acquired and incorporated into the County Park System in December 2024. The Nature Preserve is not open to the public as staff develop park master planning, conduct site restoration, and develop recreational amenities. Public access and bathrooms is a requirement of the Ansay Family donation and this request will support construction of bathroom pavilion building similar to the recent bathroom pavilion projects at Covered Bridge County Park and Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes an addition at the Virmond Park Caretakers residence to include a bathroom and additional bedrooms. The residence currently has one upstairs loft bedroom and a single bathroom downstairs, which does not support family use of the residence for the Caretaker. Costs were based on a recent quote. This project includes purchase of two new trailers for the Parks Division. The new excavator, skid loader, Kubota tractor, and other heavy equipment cannot safely be transported using existing trailers, which are smaller and do not have the required weight capacities. Additional trailers would enable Parks Staff to move multiple pieces of equipment at the same time to different locations, improving efficiency. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes purchase of skid steer attachments including a box snowplow and side arm brush cutter. A box plow attachment will provide staff with additional flexibility in clearing snow throughout the OIT and Parks system, especially during heavy snowfall where traditional vehicle/plow use can be limited, inefficient, and may damage existing equipment. The OIT can be very difficult and unsafe to plow at times due to heavy snow or ice and the box snowplow would greatly assist this effort particularly over the bridges on the OIT. WisDOT requires plowing of the OIT alongside the state trunk highway, and the Department does not currently own adequate equipment for this requirement. This attachment would be particularly helpful in larger parking lot areas including for the new parking lot at CBCGNP. The side arm brush cutter can cut both horizontally and vertically, providing additional flexibility for park and trail maintenance, as it is capable of going around sign posts, trimming vertically, and trimming along steep ditch lines. This piece of equipment also has particular applicability to maintaining the OIT and trails throughout the Park System (e.g. Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve), which currently require rental equipment or hand trimming (taking a significant amount of staff PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve has been a highly successful addition to the Ozaukee County Park System and is a highly used Park, with approximately 265,411 visits in 2025, with a daily average of 727 visits. High Bluff Drive needs repaving between Lakeshore Road and the Nature Preserve entrance, and the Town of Grafton has requested to cost share on paving. Total estimated costs are $95,000 based on similar recent projects. A pending Town of Grafton Impact Fee would support 50% of project construction.

This corridor also runs through the City of Cedarburg. This project will create approximately 8,525 linear feet of off-road, multi-use trail including 110 linear feet of boardwalk, and conversion and replacement of approximately 1,070 feet of sidewalk to a 10 ft multi-use trail. It will also utilize existing off-road trail segments in the Village of Grafton (1,600 ft at west limits) and Town of Cedarburg (west of Five Corners). These would match the awarded (2023) WisDOT TAP grant ($437 500) PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes purchase of a new 144" zero turn mower to replace a small 42" zero turn and older 60" grandmaster mower. The existing zero turn has limited use given the small deck size and inability to safely mow on inclines, and the grandmaster mower is over 20 years old and has required frequent repair and maintenance costs. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes replacement/reconstruction of the existing boardwalk along the Ozaukee Interurban Trail near Terminal Road in the Town of Grafton. The current boardwalk is significantly heaving and becoming unsafe for trail users. Possible replacement with a floating bridge (snowmobile type bridge) or reconstructed boardwalk with helical piers for the soft wetland soils. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes trade in of an existing existing Parks truck for purchase/lease of a new, similar truck for more efficient management of parks and natural areas. Specifically, replacement of Truck #6 (1FDWX37R98EE05523 2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty Dump Truck Diesel) with a Ford F350 4X4 extended cab with a pass through tool box, dump box, rollup tarp, salter and 10'-2" boss plow w/attachments. This truck would primarily support wood chipping duties and snowplowing. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will support completion of design and engineering for the restoration of a degraded 1,672-ft reach of Mole Creek and adjacent wetland restoration. This cost estimate was based on a recent proposal for this work from a qualified design and engineering consultant who has worked on several recent and ongoing habitat restoration projects for the Planning and Parks Department. This funding will support development of comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic models, geomorphic assessments, and the creation of detailed plansets at the 60%, 90% and final design stages and project permitting. Secured and pending grant funding from WDNR and NFWF SOGL will support construction activities. This project includes the design, engineering and installation of a handicapped accessible boat/fishing pier and launch (e.g. launching kayaks, canoes, etc) at the recently acquired properties in Waubeka in the Town of Fredonia. The concept would be to install a floating handicapped accessible pier (e.g. similar to the Village of Grafton and Village of Thiensville on the Milwaukee River) that could be taken out during the winter months and then re-installed by staff each spring/summer. This would facilitate handicapped accessibility to the Milwaukee River, additional camping rentals at Hawthorne Hills County Park and use of the new Park after site remediation supported by a pending WEDC Brownfields Site Assessment grant. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project includes purchase of a UTV skid steer for more efficient management of parks and natural areas, as it can accommodate multiple, interchangeable attachments. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Ansay Family Nature Preserve was acquired and incorporated into the County Park System in December 2024. The Nature Preserve is not open to the public as staff develop park master planning, conduct site restoration, and develop recreational amenities. Public access is a requirement of the Ansay Family donation and this request will support construction of a roadway and public parking lot at the Preserve. Costs are estimated based off recently completed, similar projects. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Page 15 of 107 Mission The mission of Ozaukee County LIS is to provide GIS service to internal county departments and external customers. Programs and Services  LIS manages and maintains the county’s geographic information systems, ensuring accurate and up-to-date maps and spatial data for alldepartments. It develops and integrates GIS software applications, maintains tax parcel maps, assigns new property addresses, and createscustomized maps for planning, zoning, and public services. The department also coordinates GIS content for agencies, including aerial imagery andgeospatial data, to support decision-making in areas like land use planning, infrastructure management, and emergency response. Budget Highlights The LIS Office budget is expected to increase tax levy by about $47,780 in 2027 budget.  This is primarily due to the staffing model and making anassumption to budget for health insurance plans.  As staff is finalized the budgeted amounts are subject to change in the next year or so.  Most ofthe operating expenses have been carried over and have not been adjusted until a new manager is hired.  Land Information Services (LIS) is now a separate standalone department. Prior to 2026 the department was combined with the ROD office.  Theexpenses and revenues for this area are presented in this new separate section. Expansion RequestsThe department is not requesting any expansion requests in 2027.

The intent of the planning process is to clarify the organization’s purpose and develop achievable steps to realize their vision. The Board President of Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc. contacted Paul to facilitate a process that would create a strategic plan for the organization. Festivals of Cedarburg “engages communities, non-profits, and businesses to create best-in-class festivals and events” in Cedarburg, WI. Since the organization’s previous strategic plan in 2021, Festivals of Cedarburg has a new executive director and several new board members. Through pre-planning discussion with board and staff, it was determined that a new strategic plan is needed to clarify the organization’s purpose and develop achievable steps to realize their vision. To achieve the planning objectives, Paul first engaged the organization’s staff and board with an online survey to solicit feedback on updating the organization’s mission, creating a vision statement, and identifying organizational values. Next, an external feedback survey was used to gain insight into how well the organization achieves its mission and to identify a vision for Festivals of Cedarburg. Then, Paul facilitated two strategic planning sessions attended by eleven board members and staff where we reviewed the responses from both surveys and updated the organization’s mission, created a vision statement, defined organizational values, created an identity statement, defined strategic priorities, and identified the next steps to accomplish these priorities. From evaluation (N=9), 100% of participants agreed that updating the mission statement helped clarify their role as an organization and creating a vision statement assisted them in understanding the general direction for their organization’s future. Additionally, 89% agreed that creating core values assisted in clarifying the guiding principles for the organization’s culture and 100% agreed that discussing the strategic action plan increased their ability to identify the next steps for future implementation. Participants evaluated Paul’s facilitation as a 5.0 on a 5-point Likert Scale (1=poor and 5=excellent). One participant commented that they were “very happy with the participation, honesty, and ideas shared.” Another commented on Paul’s facilitation by stating, “Appreciate your thoroughness, knowledge, and keeping us on task!” The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal laws. Page 43 of 107 AGRICULTURE Dairy Manuel Peña, Regional Dairy Educator A corn silage dry-down event for dairy farmers and forage growers in the region, where participating farmers from Ozaukee County can submit their corn samples to assess their dry matter content. This information helps determine the appropriate time to harvest their corn for silage and maximize forage quality. Dry matter (DM) data is important because it helps dairy farmers determine the appropriate harvest timing for corn silage. Harvesting at the proper DM content helps achieve good fermentation, preserve nutrients, reduce storage losses, and maintain consistent forage quality. To host an event as an opportunity to submit corn silage samples and assess their dry matter content. During three weeks, every Wednesday from Aug 26th to Sept 9th. The results provide participants with information to evaluate harvest timing and make more informed decisions to maximize corn silage quality and preserve nutrients. The work provides participants with timely dry matter data that helps them evaluate corn silage harvest timing. This information supports more informed harvest decisions, with the goal of maximizing corn silage quality and preserving nutrients for consequent dairy diet formulation. 4-H YOUTH DEVELOPMENT Abi Quinlan, 4-H Program Educator The County Board Exchange, a county government engagement event for youth and county board members, where 4-H members shared their projects, leadership experiences, and personal growth through 4-H. Through this effort, 11 youth strengthened communication and public speaking skills while fostering meaningful The University of Wisconsin-Madison Division of Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming in compliance with state and federal laws. Page 44 of 107 connections with county leaders, increasing awareness of youth contributions and the value of positive youth development within the community. Youth benefit from opportunities to develop communication, leadership, and civic engagement skills through authentic interactions with community decision-makers. At the same time, county board supervisors, particularly newly elected members, may have limited opportunities to engage directly with young people and learn about the impact of 4-H Youth Development programming. Creating spaces where youth and county leaders can build relationships helps increase understanding of local government, elevates youth voice, and strengthens community connections that support youth thriving and community well-being. The Ozaukee County 4-H program organized a County Board Exchange that brought together 4-H members and county board supervisors for meaningful dialogue and relationship building. Youth shared information about their projects, leadership experiences, community involvement, and the skills they have gained through 4-H participation. Members engaged in conversations with supervisors, answered questions, and practiced communicating their experiences to adult audiences in a professional setting. Following the exchange, the 4-H Educator provided a presentation to the county board highlighting local 4-H Youth Development programming, participation opportunities, and program outcomes. Youth actively participated in the presentation by sharing firsthand accounts of how 4-H has helped them develop leadership, confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging. The event created opportunities for county board members to hear directly from young people about their experiences and the ways they contribute to their communities through 4-H programming. The County Board Exchange engaged 11 youth members and 24 county board supervisors in meaningful conversations that strengthened connections between young people and local government. Youth increased their confidence in public speaking, communication, and sharing their experiences with adult audiences, while county board members gained a deeper understanding of the impact of 4-H Youth Development and the contributions youth make to their communities. By incorporating youth voices into both the exchange and county board presentation, the program fostered civic engagement, expanded relationships between youth and community leaders, and strengthened a network of adult allies who support youth as valued contributors to the future of Ozaukee County.

For example, is the project adjacent to documented fish spawning habitat, a sensitive area, or wildlife area? This project is likely to protect and restore habitat quality, integrity, and resilience by improving riparian conditions along a vulnerable reach of the Milwaukee River. Because the project area is directly adjacent to the river and is currently experiencing active bank erosion, the proposed planting will provide multiple ecological benefits. Establishing deep-rooted native vegetation will help stabilize the streambank, reduce soil loss, and limit sediment and phosphorus from entering the river. This will improve water quality and help protect aquatic habitat downstream by reducing turbidity and nutrient loading. In addition, the planting will create and enhance riparian habitat that can support wildlife movement, provide cover and foraging opportunities, and strengthen the overall ecological function of the river corridor. By reducing ongoing bank degradation and restoring vegetative cover in this sensitive river-adjacent area, the project will improve the long-term resilience of both the shoreline and the associated habitat. COMPLEMENTARY MANAGEMENT (2000 character limit) Describe how the project complements or builds upon other planning/management efforts, such as County Land and Water Resources Management Plans, Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) implementation plans, 9 key element plans or other prevention or implementation efforts. Has your organization or a partner completed a shoreline habitat assessment or complimentary outreach/ education efforts? This project directly complements and advances priorities identified in the County Land and Water Resources Management Plan and supports implementation of the Milwaukee River TMDL by addressing bank erosion, reducing sediment and phosphorus delivery, and improving riparian habitat along the river corridor. By establishing vegetation at an actively eroding site, the project contributes to broader local and watershed-scale efforts focused on water quality protection, nonpoint source pollution reduction, and resource conservation. Although our organization has not completed a formal shoreline habitat assessment for this location, this project is intended to serve as a visible demonstration site that can support future outreach and education efforts. We hope to use the site to promote the program, highlight the value of shoreline restoration practices, and encourage similar conservation actions by landowners and partners in the watershed. OTHER (2000 character limit) Please feel free to share any other motivations for participating in the Healthy Lakes and Rivers Program! Participating in this program would provide an opportunity to showcase the benefits of these practices to additional landowners, partners, and the broader community. By using this project as a demonstration and outreach site, we hope to build awareness of the program, encourage future participation, and support long-term stewardship of shoreline and riparian resources in Ozaukee County!

Agenda Item Information Sheet To: Natural Resources Committee From: Matt Aho, Program Manager Meeting Date: September 3, 2026 Department/Office: Planning & Parks Item Name: Bid and Contract for Playground Equipment to Replace Existing Playground Equipment at Waubedonia County Park Summary: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The current playground equipment and surrounds at Waubedonia County Park do not meet the new State law requirements for safety and accessibility (e.g., ADA) and is heavily used by children and families during gatherings using the rented shelters and tennis courts. Replacement equipment is needed to comply with the new State regulations and to provide a safe environment for children to play. On April 2, 2025, the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors passed Resolution 24-55 approving Project Fund awards to the Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department (Department) which included replacement playground equipment at Waubedonia County Park. An advertisement for bids was advertised and published in the Ozaukee Press on August 6 and 13, 2026 and directly sent to 13 playground equipment suppliers, and the full bid documents were available on the Ozaukee County bid postings page (https://www.ozaukeecounty.gov/Bids.aspx). The proposals listed major components of work including provision and installation of nature-based playground equipment, perimeter border and multiple optional items for maximum flexibility to meet project goals and budget. ANALYSIS: Two bids were received and a public bid opening was held on August 25, 2026 at the Ozaukee County Administration Center. The base bid required a nature based play structure with a crawl tube and/or bridge feature, overhead climber or hanger, climbing wall, multiple slides and a toddler swing set. Select optional items included a climbing boulder or log, wear mats, tower/roof feature and provision of processed wood mulch. Bids were received from Northland Recreation and Lee Recreation, LLC (LR) for the base bid and selected optional items (see attached bid tab). The LR base bid amount included a “Vero” play structure that was not a bid item and will be removed from the base bid amount for a $4,000 credit to offset a portion of the processed wood mulch, border timbers, and wear mat optional item costs. The LR bid also included a $8,700 optional climbing log. LR and the Department have discussed applying a $7,249 tariff credit from a previous LR order to offset the climbing log costs (to be only included in contract if credit tariff is received). The LR bid included a full roof feature (similar to the roof feature at the Virmond County Park playground) and LR clarified that the play structure will include a spiral slide (initial renderings showed a straight slide). Staff recommends approval of the responsive and responsible base bid and select optional items from LR, which best met all criteria (including a nature-based theme) as listed in the bid tab, at a total of $68,271. The Department has worked with Lee Recreation, LLC, in the past for provision of parks equipment including at Virmond County Park. The playground equipment cost is within the available total budget for this project, which includes the $65,000 County Project Fund award and Department operating budget.

Agenda Item Information Sheet To: Natural Resources Committee From: Matt Aho, Program Manager Meeting Date: September 3, 2026 Department/Office: Planning & Parks Item Name: Proposal and Contract for Professional Services for Environmental Site Assessments at Parcels 040281201000 and 040281201200 in the Town of Fredonia for Implementation of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Brownfield Site Assessment Grant Summary: BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On February 4, 2026, the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution 25-51 (Ayes – 21, Nays – 0, Absent – 4) for acceptance of a $142,800 Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) a Brownfield Site Assessment Grant (SAG) to support site assessments at parcels 040281201000 (Waubeka Mill) and 040281201200 (Button Factory) in Waubeka adjacent to Mill Street and the Milwaukee River in the Town of Fredonia (collectively, the “Property”, see attached map). On April 1, 2026 the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution 25-74 (Ayes – 23, Nays - 0, Absent – 2) for the 2026 Project Fund, and $40,000 in matching funds for the WEDC SAG grant was included as a recommended project. Finally, on August 5, 2026, the Ozaukee County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution 26-12 for an Intergovernmental Agreement / Memorandum of Understanding between the Town of Fredonia and Ozaukee County for the transfer of the Property to the Ozaukee County Park System (Ayes – 24, Nays – 0, Absent – 2) and approved Resolution 26-13 for acceptance of the titles to the Ozaukee County Park System (Ayes – 18, Nays – 6, Absent – 2). The Property presently poses a threat to public health, safety and welfare in that it contains dilapidated structures which are in serious disrepair and contain hazardous substances (including asbestos), making it a public nuisance. In addition, the structures are non-conforming structures since they are located in C-1 zoning (Lowland Conservancy District) of the Town of Fredonia which only allows the previous historic use of the properties, has been a discontinued use for more than 12 months, are located in a flood hazard zone (e.g. floodway of the Milwaukee River), do not meet road and riparian setback requirements, and given the structural repairs required could not be rebuilt per the County shoreland and floodplain zoning ordinances and the lots are not buildable for new construction. The WEDC SAG grant and matching Project Fund grant will support Phase I and II environmental site assessments, site investigation, asbestos and hazardous material inspections, demolition planning, permitting, building demolition as required for site investigations, soil and/or groundwater remedial action plans, and underground storage tank removal. ANALYSIS: Local force account support is not an eligible WEDC SAG grant activity. The WEDC SAG grant application required the submission of multiple consultant proposals to support the project budget. The Ozaukee County Planning and Parks Department (Department) received and submitted four consultant proposals to WEDC. The proposals represented a wide range of costs for the various project elements. WEDC ultimately finalized the SAG grant award amount based on eligible and complete proposal costs. LF Green Development, LLC (LF Green) submitted the only complete proposal within overall project budget that specifically addressed all required WEDC SAG grant activities, including proposed demolition costs. The LF Green proposal amount of $95,000 included the low end of possible demolition costs based on an initial visual site investigation and LF Green verbally noted that demolition costs could increase depending on findings of the initial assessments and associated remediation actions ultimately required. Therefore, staff recommends awarding a time and materials contract to LF Green with a $87,800 contingency for potential change orders or increased demolition costs for a total not-to-exceed sum of $182,800. This total contract amount is within the total WEDC and Project Fund project budget.
