WATER:
The Rate of Return increased from 1.71% to 1.96% from 2024 to 2025. Still under 2%
which is pretty low. Our Rate of Return was set by the PSC at 4.90%. The PSC is
currently setting new rates at 6 to 6.5% Rate of Return when authorizing new rates.
Operating revenues have consistently been above the operating expenses, but the
margin closed some between 2023-24 and stayed consistent.
Unrestricted cash reserves in 2023 we had 10 months cash on hand. Now the utility is
at 5 months cash on hand. The minimum the GFO requires is 3 months cash on hand.
We are meeting our debt coverage, required is 1.10 and we are at 1.84 for 2025.
Only 19% is financed through outstanding debt. Leaving the utility with 81% equity.
SEWER:
We don't have a Rate of Return for the Sewer Utility because it is not governed by the
PSC.
Operating revenues are exceeding operating expenses.
Unrestricted reserves has 6 months of cash on hand.
Debt coverage requirement is 1.25 and it is at 1.37. Dropped some from previous year.
Outstanding debt is at 36%. Equity is at 64%.
STORM:
Operating revenues are exceeding operating expenses but the margin has been
shrinking over the years. This needs to be monitored.
Unrestricted Cash Reserves are strong with 9.62 months of cash on hand.
Debt coverage did drop below 1.25 and is at 1.20; the required is 1.10.
Outstanding debt is at 33% and equity 67%.
FIBER:
Newest utility and the last three years have been relatively stable. Operating expenses
slightly increased. Might be time to re-evaluate the level of revenue coming in.
Very strong cash balance.
No outstanding debt.
Motion made by Jeff Bushman, seconded by Carl Rasmussen to approve the 2025
Audit completed by Baker Tilly.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
5. Water Supply and Distribution Reports - Eric Southworth
Eric stated they are currently working on the tri-annual lead and copper sampling for the
DNR. Well 12 Project and upgrades to Well 4 Treatment Plant should be out for bid
later this month and awarded in September.
6. Replacement of unit water heaters - Joel Lemke
Joel summarized Chris's letter explaining one of the tankless water heaters failed last
month. Utililzing hot water for diluting and mixing polymer in our dewatering process
reduces our polymer use by approximately 50% over cold water. Joel recommends the
replacement of the unit water heaters.
Page 19 of 142
Motion made by Ray Schmidt, seconded by Jeff Bushman to approve the replacement
of unit water heaters in an amount not to exceed $26,500.00.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
7. Sewage Treatment Operations Report - Chris Lefebvre
Chris stated all permit limits were met for the months of June and July.
8. Construction and Maintenance Report - Shane Kohnen
Shane had nothing to add to the reports included in the Commission packets.
9. Directors Report - Joel Lemke
Joel stated next month there will be broader conversation about rates. PSC information
has been returned in regard to rates and there is a public hearing scheduled for
September 8, 2026. Following the public hearing we will be proposing rate increases for
all three utilities. Paul asked if this would be an agenda item next month. Joel stated
that it would be. Paul stated we will have a matrix of how our rates compare to other
municipalities in the area.

Discussion and Possible Action on:
1. Roll Call.
Present: Paul Adamski, Carl Rasmussen, Jeff Bushman and Ray Schmidt
Excused Absence: Anna Haines
Also Present: Joel Lemke, Ald. Christianson, Chris Lefebvre, Eric Southworth, Shane
Kohnen, Jaime Zdroik, Ald. Shuda and Jodi Dobson-Baker Tilly.
2. Approval of Minutes
Motion made by Jeff Bushman, seconded by Ray Schmidt to approve the June 8, 2026
meeting minutes of the Airport Commission.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
3. Approval of Department Claims
Motion made by Jeff Bushman, seconded by Carl Rasmussen to approve the claims
for the months of June and July as audited and read.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
4. Audit presentation by Baker Tilly - Joel Lemke
Jodi Dobson of Baker Tilly presented the 2025 Audit.
A five-year trend for operating revenues and expenses was presented to the
Commission. Operating revenues show a decrease in total revenues from 2024-2025.
The decrease in operating revenues was primarily due to third parties such as the City
and other local subsidies were picking up a larger portion of the total costs.
Page 34 of 142
Operating expenses have been relatively stable, especially the last three years. Total
expenditures are exceeding the total revenues. Need to look into ongoing revenue
streams.
Joel stated that the tax levy contribution is small, the smallest in all the City. Trying to
maintain a low levy need. Also, getting to a point of knowing that this is not sustainable.
We do recognize there is a shortfall in the Airport.
Jodi stated having an airport benefits the community, so there is justification for with
transfer from the tax levy.
Motion made by Jeff Bushman, seconded by Carl Rasmussen to approve the 2025
Audit presented by Baker Tilly.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.
5. Petition update - Joel Lemke
Joel explained that the Commission will see a public notice in the paper on Thursday
that says that the City of Stevens Point is going to petition the State. To use the monies
from State and Federal sources we need to go through this process and part is the
public notice/petition. The petition lists the projects. This year the petition only has two
items because we reorganized our capital expenditure requests. There will be a Public
Hearing on August 24th, 2026. So we can get the petition update filed.
6. Written/Verbal Report - Jason Draheim
The Commission reviewed the monthly reports in the packets.
Jeff questioned if building additional hangars and leasing them out would help bring in
more revenue. Joel explained the costs involved with building hangars etc.
7. Adjournment.
Motion made by Ray Schmidt to adjourn the meeting.
Ayes all. Nays none. Motion carried.

Subject: Re: James Smith claim
Date: Monday, July 20, 2026 12:31:05 PM
Hi Corey,
I am in receipt of the above claim that has been filed by James Smith against the City of Stevens
Point, for damage to a vehicle that was struck by a fallen tree on 6/5/2026. As you are aware, the City
of Stevens Point is self-insured for claims up to $50,000, and should the city decide to settle this
matter, the settlement would come from city funds.
I believe this claim should be denied for a variety of reasons:
1. Discretionary immunity: when and how a municipality inspects its trees is a discretionary
action, and municipalities have immunity for discretionary actions under
Wis. Stat. 893.80 (4).
2. Standard of reasonable care: It is my understanding that the city does take corrective action
when they are made aware of known problems. I have confirmed that the city had no actual or
constructive notice that this tree was in any dangerous or defective condition prior to the loss. Since
the city had no prior notice of any issue with the tree, it is my opinion that the city is meeting the
standard of reasonable care, which is the standard that municipalities are held to.
3. Act of Nature: Weather records indicate heavy storms with wind gusts up to 31 MPH on the
date and time of loss. Heavy storms and wind could not be foreseen by the city, and accordingly, this
claim can also be denied for Act of Nature.
Based on the fact that the city is immune from liability and there is no negligence on the part of the
city, it would be my recommendation that this claim be denied.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you!

Hi Corey,
I received your request for recommendation on the James Smith claim.
Just a few questions:
Does the City have a maintenance plan in place for City trees? If so, is the plan being followed?
Was there any complaint of a dangerous condition with the subject tree prior to the date of
loss?
Thanks!

Subject: Winkelman v City of Stevens Point
Date: Monday, July 27, 2026 5:02:24 PM
Hi Corey,
I am in receipt of the claim that has been filed by Nicole Winkelman against the City of Stevens Point,
in the amount of $1,318.25 for damage incurred as the result of her vehicle striking a loose manhole
cover on 6/10/2026. As you are aware, the city is self-insured for claims up to $50,0000, and should
the city decide to settle this claim, any settlement would come from city funds.
Based on the information that I have received, it is my understanding that the city does take
corrective action to repair defects in city streets when they are made aware of known problems. In
this case, I have confirmed that the city had no prior notice of any dangerous or unsafe condition with
any manhole covers in this area. Based on this information, it is my opinion that the city is meeting the
standard of reasonable care, which is the standard that municipalities are held to.
In addition, it is my opinion that the city would be immune from liability under Wis. Stat. 893.80 (4),
which provides immunity for discretionary actions by municipalities. It is my opinion that when and
how often a municipality inspects and maintains their streets is a discretionary decision, for which
the city would have immunity based on the above statute.
Additionally, weather records indicate heavy storms on the date of loss. Heavy rainfall, which likely
caused the covers to become displaced , could not be foreseen by the city. Accordingly, this claim
can also be denied for Act of Nature.
Based on all of the above, it would be my recommendation that this claim be denied.
Should you have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you!

To Whom It May Concern,
I am submitting this letter to request reimbursement for vehicle damages from a displaced
manhole cover near the intersection of Dixon & Gilkay Street in Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
on June 10, 2026.
On June 10, rainfall caused flooding at the Church Street bridge underpass, while some
traffic continued under the bridge, others diverted through nearby industrial streets. As a
result, I ended on Dixon Street in the area of the Sentry building.
While driving on Dixon Street, I struck a manhole cover that was not properly seated. The
impact was extremely Loud and forceful. Concerned about what I had hit, I pulled over and
drove back around the block to inspect the area.
Upon returning, I spoke with a young man who had stopped at the intersection of Dixon
Street and Gilkey Street and had also observed the situation. Stevens Point Police Officer
Marcus Sowa was directly behind the gentleman that stopped to help. We discussed what
had occurred, and Officer Sowa took my information. At that time, he indicated that there
was likely nothing that could be done because the condition may have been caused by the
environment".
After leaving the scene, I continued north on Dixon Street and observed a second displaced
manhole cover farther up the roadway. Continuing farther, I observed a third manhole cover
that was also out of position on the same street. I then returned to speak with Officer Sowa
again. Upon my return, Officer Sowa was placing traffic cones around the manhole cover
that I had struck.
During our discussion, we talked about the fact that three separate manhole covers on
Dixon Street appeared to be displaced and all in the same condition. Based on these
observations, I do not believe the damage to my vehicle was solely the result of an
unavoidable environmental condition. Rather, it appears that multiple manhole covers on
the same roadway were not adequately secured.
On the morning following the incident, at approximately 7: 00 a. m., I returned to the
Location on Dixon Street. At that time, all of the previously unsecured manhole covers had
been properly seated and secured.
While I was at the scene, I spoke with Shane from the Stevens Point Utility Department,
who happened to be driving by.
Page 98 of 142
After researching the issue, I learned that manhole covers typically weigh between 100 and
200 pounds and are not easily displaced under normal conditions. During the time the
responding police officer and I were at the scene, there was no standing water on the
roadway, no water surfacing from any of the manholes, and no visible evidence that
hydraulic pressure from stormwater or flooding had lifted the covers.
The fact that multiple manhole covers along the same stretch of roadway were unsecured
at the same time, and were secured by the following morning, suggests that the condition
was corrected shortly after the incident.
The displaced manhole cover caused damage to my 2026 Honda CR-V, including:
Damage to the passenger - side rear lower body ground effect panel
Damage to the passenger - side front lower body ground effect panel
Associated mounting hardware and trim damage
I have obtained a repair estimate from Len Dudas Motors in Stevens Point and have
attached the estimate for you to review.
Given the circumstances, including the presence of multiple displaced manhole covers on
the same street and the fact that the area was subsequently marked with traffic cones by
Law enforcement, I respectfully request that the City reimburse me in full for the repair
costs associated with this incident.
I have attached photographs and repair estimates as evidence.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Nicole Winkelman

Summary
Request for City of Stevens Point, Wisconsin to Serve as Conduit Issuer
for
Not to Exceed $10,000,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds
to Benefit Firecrest Aerospace, Inc. Project
This will summarize the request of Firecrest Aerospace, Inc., and/or a related entity, and/or
a limited liability entity to be formed (collectively, the “Company”), asking that the City of Stevens
Point, Wisconsin (the “City”) consider an Initial Resolution to benefit the Company through the
conduit issuance of industrial development revenue bonds (“IRBs”) to finance a project located in
the City consisting of financing the (i) acquisition and rehabilitation of a facility comprising
approximately 38,000 square feet located at 4848 Industrial Park Road in the City of Stevens Point,
Wisconsin (the “Facility”), which Facility is to manufacture micro turbo jet and turbo fan engines
for unmanned aerial and aerospace applications, (ii) acquisition and installation of equipment to
be owned by the Borrower and used by the Borrower in its manufacturing activities at the Facility
and (iii) payment of professional fees and costs of issuance (collectively, the “Project”). Small
issue manufacturing IRBs must comply with both Federal (Sec. 144 of Internal Revenue Code)
and State (66.1103 Wis. Stats.) laws. In an IRB transaction, a state or local governmental entity
issues bonds and loans the proceeds from the sale of the bonds to a private entity for an authorized
project. In Wisconsin, cities, villages and towns, as well as duly constituted redevelopment
authorities and community development authorities may issue IRBs.
Prior to the Tax Act of 1986, the Tax Code permitted the issuance of tax-exempt IRBs for
many types of projects including manufacturing, commercial, and wholesale and distribution
facilities, among others. Section 144 of the Tax Code only permits the issuance of qualified small
issues for manufacturing facilities. A “manufacturing facility” means any facility used in the
manufacturing or production of tangible personal property (including processing resulting in a
change in the condition of such property). A manufacturing facility includes facilities, which are
directly related to and ancillary to a manufacturing facility, if such facilities are located on the
same site as the manufacturing facility, and not more than 25% of the net proceeds of the issue are
used to provide such facilities.
These IRBs are municipal bonds; however, they are not general obligations of the City. If
the City agrees to issue bonds to benefit the proposed Project:
1. The City will not be liable for payment of the principal and interest on the bonds;
2. The City will not have ongoing responsibilities of monitoring or reporting with
regard to the bonds or the Project.
3. The bonds do not count against the City’s borrowing capacity. The City will not
levy a tax for payment of the bonds.
4. The City will be reimbursed for all fees and costs incurred because of the IRB.
The City acts strictly as a conduit, which enables the Company to borrow at a lower rate
of interest.
Page 103 of 142
QB\103485648.1
Because the bonds are issued by a governmental entity, the holder of the bond may exclude
the interest on the bonds from gross income for federal tax purposes.
Inducement/Reimbursement
Companies considering IRB financing must obtain an Initial Resolution, also sometimes
referred to as an “inducement resolution” or “qualified reimbursement resolution” from the
municipality in which the Project being financed is located in order to preserve the option to use
IRBs. The Initial Resolution is preliminary approval only and is non-binding as to the City or the
Company but is required by Federal tax law and State law. If the Initial Resolution is adopted by
the City, this will assure that when and if bonds are issued, all eligible project costs incurred no
more than 60 days prior to the date of the Initial Resolution (including reimbursement of equity
contributions or refunding of conventional financing), may be included in the ultimate IRB
financing. Failure to have a qualified resolution may result in disqualifying certain costs.
By acting as the conduit issuer, the City can grant the Company a significant monetary
benefit, at no cost to the City, because the Company will enjoy a lower interest rate as a result of
using a bond structure. A lending institution will directly purchase the bonds. The lender for the
bonds will look solely to the Company for repayment. Bondholders will not look to the City for
payment. The City will assign all of its rights, liability and responsibilities under the bonds to the
lender as the bondholder. The Company will be fully responsible for repaying the loan and must
make the arrangements with the lender for the payment on the bonds. If the Company is not able
to meet its payment obligations, the lender will realize on its collateral and enforce its rights against
the Company. The City is not liable for payment.
The foregoing is just a brief discussion of tax-exempt financing. By issuing the bonds, the
City will give the Company an interest rate benefit because the tax-exempt bonds will be tax-
exempt in the hands of the bondholders and, therefore, the cost savings passed along to the
Company. It must be emphasized that the City will not be liable in any way on the bonds; the
bonds are special, limited obligations of the City.
The Company respectfully requests that the City consider the revised Initial Resolution at
the Common Council on August 17, 2026. For agenda purposes, the City should please describe
the Initial Resolution as follows:
“Consideration of Resolution Amending Initial Resolution Regarding Industrial
Development Revenue Bond Financing for Firecrest Aerospace, Inc. Project. Information with
respect to the job impact of the project will be available at the time of consideration of the Initial
Resolution.”
A representative of the Company will attend the Common Council meeting on August 17,
2026 to answer any questions regarding the proposed Project.

Subject: Adjustment to Cat License Fees
The Finance Committee voted to increase cat license fees to $14.00 for spayed
or neutered, and $24.00 for cats that are not spayed or neutered, for the 2027
licensing year. This matches the fees for licensing dogs, which adds an
additional element to consider.
Currently, the City offers a multiple dog license, which allows the licensing of up
to 12 dogs for a flat $90.00. If someone has more than 12 dogs, the extra dogs
are an additional $14.00 spayed or neutered and $24.00 not spayed or
neutered. If we want to be consistent with the licensing of cats and the
licensing of dogs, then we should consider adding a multiple cat license as well.
However, we do need to make sure that we are able to implement this in our
licensing software before moving forward. Therefore, I am recommending that
we delay final action on this for a month while that feasibility is evaluated.

Page 128 of 142

In the event the City proposes to convey any portion of its property, the
purchase price to the MSTC under its right of first refusal shall be the total of the following:
1) $1.00 for the real property to be conveyed, without inclusion of the Shared Facility or
any other buildings, structures, appurtenances, improvements or other fixtures on said real
property; and 2) the fair market value of the portion of the Shared Facility and the other

the event the City proposes to convey that portion of its property which includes the Shared
Facility or related buildings, or the City proposes to convey any portion of its property, an
appraisal shall be undertaken. The appraisal shall be a full narrative appraisal performed
for the purpose of determining the value of the property involved and shall be made by an

appraisal shall be assumed and paid for by the Party requesting the appraisal. The appraiser
or appraisers engaged to conduct such second appraisal or appraisals shall not be aware of

the first two appraisals in connection with making an evaluation. The evaluation made by
the third appraiser shall be final and binding on the Parties.

receipt of notice from the Party desiring to acquire the property under this right of first
refusal, unless extended by mutual agreement of the Parties. The time and date of closing
shall be determined by the Party receiving notice, and written notice thereof shall be given
to other Party at least 10 days prior to the date of closing. The place of closing shall be at
City Hall, Stevens Point, Wisconsin, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The
effective date of said conveyance shall be the date of closing.
The City shall make the conveyance as provided herein by warranty deed,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting: municipal and zoning ordinances,

i. The funds necessary to pay any real estate transfer fee, if any.
ii. A properly completed Wisconsin Real Estate Transfer Return,
if required.

appropriate to effect the consummation of the transaction.

closing, the City shall furnish to MSTC an abstract of title covering title to the property,
continued to a current date. MSTC shall be allowed 20 days after receipt of the abstract of
title to make objections as to any liens or other encumbrances thereto, and notify the City
in writing of the nature of such objections. If no such objections are made and the City
notified, such objections shall be deemed waived. If any objections are made and the City
is notified, the City shall be allowed up to 60 days to cure such objections. If any objections
to title are made and such objections are not cured within the said 60 days, MSTC may, in
addition to any other remedies available to it:
i. Elect to rescind its notice to acquire, in which event the City
shall not be required to convey the Property to MSTC and shall
be authorized to convey the Property to any other person or
entity; or
ii. Consummate the transaction in the same manner as if there had
been no title objection, in which event the transaction shall be
consummated on the date of closing, and the City making the
conveyance shall thereafter cure the title objections; or
iii. Postpone the date of closing until all title objections have been
cured.
As an alternative to providing a title opinion, the City shall, if required by
MSTC, furnish to the City a policy of title insurance, issued by a company licensed to

merchantable title in the City. Such policy of title insurance shall be provided at the
expense of the City.
Upon consummation of the purchase as provided herein, the City shall
deliver possession of the property to MSTC as of the date of closing.
Upon the consummation of the purchase, the City shall pay real estate taxes,

the parties that the property will be exempt from property taxation). Real estate taxes levied
Page 130 of 142

against the property which are attributable to the year of closing and payable in the
following year shall be prorated between the Parties as of the date of closing. If, on the
date of closing, information regarding such real estate taxes is not available, the proration
shall be performed according to the most current known real estate taxes and, within 10
days after the date when the taxes attributable to the year of closing are known, the
proration shall be recalculated based upon the actual amount of such real estate taxes and
any additional amounts owed by either party to the other shall be paid upon demand. On

prior to the date of closing which relate to work commenced prior to the date of closing.
