Roll Call. The meeting was called to order at approximately 8:05 a.m. Members present: Jeff Ramlow, Mike Trzinski, Chase Rettler, and Alderperson Joe Donahue. Excused: Heidi Charlesworth, Erik Carlson, and, Debra Marten. 2. General Reports and Updates A. City Staff Updates Deed Restrictions and Protective Covenants (DRPC) Work Group Update The work group has completed its review of all pages of the existing deed restrictions and protective covenants. Adam will compile edits and distribute a redlined document to the group. One additional work group meeting will be held before the final product comes to the full board. The one area requiring board input before edits are finalized is the buyback rules previously established by the county. Maps and the revised document will be distributed ahead of that meeting. Public Utilities Second Pressure Zone Project Update Joel Lemke presented a proposal to create a second water pressure zone serving the business park and areas to the east. Due to rising ground elevation, current pressure in the park (~50 psi) is significantly lower than downtown (~68–72 psi), which limits fire flow capacity and constrains future development. The proposal involves isolating the eastern distribution system at three points and constructing small pump stations at each, paired with a new water tower sited on the business park. This would raise pressure in the zone to approximately 80 psi. Each pump station would be a small utility building with two pumps and space for a third. Three pump station locations were identified: the retention pond (BID-owned), the Skyward/county-city parcel, and the County Highway HH corridor. No firm construction timeline exists — key triggers would be a major East Park development or a planned debt retirement around 2030–31. Joel will work with BID staff and individual property Page 38 of 45 owners on parcel needs, building dimensions, and aesthetics as planning advances. DRPC Work Group Update B. Executive Director Report Branding and Identity Nine members participated in the naming poll. Stevens Point Business Park was the clear top choice. East Point Business Park and Point Business Park tied for second. All three have been submitted to Avilla for logo development. A branding work group meeting will follow, with a final recommendation coming to the full board. Maintenance and Infrastructure Wetland Waters completed spring pond startup; most fountains are running. Two outstanding issues require repair: a corroded electrical panel and inoperable sprinkler system near the center area (Roberts Irrigation has provided an estimate), and a separate pump issue on another pond (Jay's Lawn Care estimate received). The access road serving the center area has significant potholes; the City confirmed it will not maintain it as it is not a public road. The gazebo needs a new roof, and the flagpole lacks functioning lighting. Chris Klesmith (City) flagged that the entire business park is eligible for a 40% federal tax credit for solar installations (rooftop, ground-mount, or parking canopy). Credits are set to expire end of year. The board discussed scheduling a North Wind Solar presentation at an upcoming meeting. Center Area Parcel The parcel near the GI/Oakwood Center — including the gazebo, small pond, and access road — warrants a dedicated future agenda discussion. Options include transferring ownership or easements to GI, or restructuring maintenance responsibilities. The board agreed to take a minimal-investment posture on this area until that discussion occurs. Branding Work Group Update C. Board Chair Report No report. D. Treasurer Report April expenses were on budget, including invoices from Jay's Lawn Care and Lake and Pond Solutions. The board is managing a backlog of deferred maintenance including fountains, trails and flags. Approximately $20,000 is budgeted for trail/pathway improvements that could be spent this year. Jay's has been asked to provide a 1- and 5-year maintenance outlook for the park to support future planning that should help with future planning and budgeting. Discussion and Possible Action on: 1.

Adjournment Page 40 of 45 Outlook RE: Solar Incentive Unique to Central WI FromChris Klesmith <cklesmith@stevenspoint.com> Date Wed 5/6/2026 11:24 AM To Karen Margelofsky <kmargelofsky@stevenspoint.com> Cc Jarod Kivela <jkivela@stevenspoint.com> I can touch base with Jarod, but all folks really need to know is that the entire business park is eligible for an additional 10% tax credit (40% total tax credit) to install solar on their facilities. This could include ground mount, parking lot covered, or roof-mounted systems. Northwind does a site assessment as a part of their process to recommend the best fitting system for their needs so they aren’t overproducing and get the best cost-benefit. I would highly encourage folks to reach out to Northwind or their solar installer of choice to take advantage of the credits because they expire at the end next year and they could potentially save a significant amount of funding and support local energy production / economic growth since power is a high-demand utility. We have historically had little interest. If folks are curious about how much power we can tap into now, we only have about ~5MVA or 5MW to tap into without big infrastructure improvements. A typical residential system produces 7 kW, whereas your typical commercial system produces anywhere between 50-500 kW, so there’s a lot more benefit to our commercial/industrial partners to make the jump. Again, I’d recommend they reach out directly to Northwind (our partner with Grow Solar: Central Wisconsin) or their contractor of choice to evaluate the proper system size and maximize their benefit.

It’s also of interest for the downtown, but the business park buildings, parking lots, and properties have much more space and could leverage the 10% bonus tax credit. Northwind Solar is the selected contractor for Grow Solar: Central Wisconsin and we’re hopeful that the program will generate some cost savings for our businesses and community partners. Cheers, Chris Klesmith (he/him) Neighborhood Planner / Economic Development Specialist City of Stevens Point 1515 Strongs Ave, Stevens Point WI O: (715) 341-4171 C: (715) 496-0164 From: Matt Rice <matt@northwindre.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2026 1:18 PM To: Jarod Kivela <jkivela@stevenspoint.com>; Chris Klesmith <cklesmith@stevenspoint.com> Subject: Solar Incentive Unique to Central WI Hi Jarod & Chris, I wanted to share something that may be useful for businesses and organizations in your network, as well as for the City of Stevens Point. As you may know, under the Inflation Reduction Act, commercial, non-profit, and municipal solar installations qualify for a 30% federal Investment Tax Credit. Somewhat uniquely, though, projects in designated "Energy Communities" can claim an additional 10% bonus, bringing the total to 40% of installed system cost. Based on the history of coal-fired power generation in our region, many businesses, organizations, and municipal properties in Stevens Point fall within qualifying census tracts and owners may not realize it. Page 42 of 45 The opportunity is available through the end of 2027, and awareness is the biggest barrier — most of the property owners in qualifying areas simply haven't heard about it. I've attached a short letter with more detail. If it prompts a question from anyone in your network, I'm happy to help. Or, if you're inclined to point folks to this related information from our website, please do so as you see fit. No obligation, we just want to make sure local businesses aren't leaving money on the table. Thanks for your time, and for the work you do supporting economic development in our communities.
