1. PUBLIC COMMENTS – The City Council will receive public comments on any
issue(s) not related to agenda items. Limited discussion by the City Council may take
place; however, no action will be taken on any items. This includes receiving written
requests or documentation and possible action at a future meeting.
There were no public comments.
2 Consideration of Ordinance 04-26, An Ordinance Adopting the “City of Prescott
Comprehensive Plan 2026-2046”
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented the proposed City of Prescott
Comprehensive Plan 2026-2046. Since February 2025, the Plan Commission has
reviewed and updated each chapter of the City’s Comprehensive Plan in accordance
with Wisconsin Statutes § 66.1001(2). The review included the following: Issues and
Opportunities; Housing; Transportation; Utilities and Community Facilities;
Agricultural, Natural, and Cultural Resources; Economic Development;
Intergovernmental Cooperation; Land Use; and Implementation. The Plan
Commission incorporated feedback received from residents through the 2025
community survey. A public hearing was held on June 1, 2026, as per WI State
Statute § 66.1001(4)(d). No comments or feedback were received during the hearing.
Therefore, the final step in the adoption process is approval by the City Council.
Otwell/Hintz motioned to approve Ordinance 04-26, An Ordinance Adopting the
“City of Prescott Comprehensive Plan 2026-2046.” Alderperson Otwell noted an
interesting shift in the plan's direction, moving from preserving agricultural
land toward supporting a farm-to-table approach. She asked whether there was
any discussion during the planning process about the city acquiring additional
agricultural land. She noted that, aside from Borner Farms, there are limited
agricultural resources within the city. While farms located near residential
areas can sometimes generate concerns from residents, she expressed support
for expanding agricultural initiatives, such as community gardens. There was
no further discussion on the motion. Motion passed without a negative voice
vote.
3. Resolution 27-26 Approving the Change Order No. 2 for the Magee Park
Improvements Project
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented Change Order No. 2 for the Magee Park
Improvement Project. The change order includes: locating and excavating
undocumented storm sewer line and outfall; remove and replace portions of existing
12-inch and 18-inch reinforced concrete storm sewer pipe; adjusting an existing storm
sewer manhole, including installation of extension rings and a new concrete base;
excavating and restoring the existing storm sewer outfall pipe leading to the
stormwater pond; and flush and clean the storm sewer system and install additional
riprap protection at the outfall. Cedar Corporation reviewed the change order and
determined that the cost is reasonable and necessary to complete the project. The
change order increases the overall construction contract from $509,569.66 to
$515,696.14. Because the additional work was directly related to the installation of
the new water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, staff recommended funding the
change order equally between the Water Utility Fund and the Sewer Utility Fund. If
approved, the final payment will be made to Total Excavating LLC, and the Magee
Park improvements project will be considered substantially complete. Following the
project closeout and final review by the WI DNR, the city will be eligible to receive
the remaining reimbursement of $140,181.25 from the WI DNR Knowles-Nelson
Stewardship Program. Mayor Gerke asked whether the grant reimbursement would
be used to pay off the city’s loan for the project. Wolf explained that Capital Funds
were used to pay for the project and that any reimbursement would be returned to
Capital Funds. Hintz/Sorenson motioned to approve Resolution 27-26 Approving
Change Order No. 2 for the Magee Park Improvements Project. Motion passed
without a negative voice vote.
4. Resolution 28-26 Adopting Amendments to the City of Prescott Employee Handbook
City Administrator Matt Wolf reviewed proposed amendments to the City of Prescott
Employee Handbook. On May 6, 2026, the Personnel Committee voted to
recommend three amendments to the city’s employee handbook for the City
Council’s consideration. 1. Compensatory Time, 2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use
Policy, and 3. Compensation Plan, Performance Evaluations, and Wage Scale. The
proposed amendments formally incorporate annual wage scale adoption into the
budget process and provide employees with a clear understanding of the city’s
compensation philosophy. Alderperson Sorenson asked which AI applications staff
currently use. Wolf stated that staff primarily use ChatGPT to assist with drafting
memos and resolutions to improve accuracy and avoid grammatical errors.
Hintz/Otwell motioned to approve Resolution 28-26 Adopting Amendments to
the City of Prescott Employee Handbook. There was no further discussion.
Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
5. Approval of the Mercord Mill Parking Lot to an Overnight Lot and Replacement of
Signs
City Administrator Matt Wolf provided an overview of the city’s municipal parking
lots. The city operates three municipal parking lots in the downtown area for public
use, excluding the boat launch parking lot and on-street parking stalls. These lots are
located on Orange Street, Cherry Street, and Mercord Mill. Currently, overnight
parking is permitted in the Orange Street and Cherry Street lots, while the Mercord
Mill lot is posted as no overnight parking. As part of the Riverfront Phase 2 project,
the city repaved and restriped the Mercord Mill parking lot, installed new signage,
and added signs prohibiting overnight parking. Since the installation of the new
signs, several individuals have contacted the city stating that they had previously
parked overnight in the lot without issue and requested that overnight parking be
permitted. In discussions with Chief Michaels, staff determined that the overnight
parking restriction has generally not been enforced because enforcement would
require officers to document vehicles parked overnight and verify their continued
presence the following morning, making enforcement difficult and resource-
intensive. Allowing overnight parking at the Mercord Mill lot would create
consistency among all three municipal parking lots. Regardless of whether overnight
parking is permitted, all municipal parking lots will remain subject to City Code §
545-13.A, regarding parking restrictions and posted limitations. Hintz/Bettis
motioned to approve the Approval of the Mercord Mill Parking Lot to an
Overnight Lot and Replacement of Signs. There was no discussion on the
motion. Motion passed without a negative voice vote.
6. Approval of the Memorandum of Understanding for Use and Cost Sharing Between
the City of Prescott and the Prescott Library Board
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented a proposed Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) between the City of Prescott and the Prescott Public Library. Since the city
and the library share the municipal facility located at 800 Borner Street,
responsibilities for building operations and maintenance have historically been
shared; however, no formal written agreement has existed outlining each party’s
obligations. The proposed MOU establishes a framework for the ownership,
operation, maintenance, repair, replacement, and cost-sharing responsibilities
associated with the building and grounds. Key provisions of the agreement include:
The city retains ownership of the building and grounds; The Library Board maintains
responsibility and control for the Library portion of the building; Utility costs,
custodial services, and HVAC maintenance will be shared based on the agreed-upon
allocation; The city will be responsible for exterior building maintenance, grounds
maintenance, parking lots, sidewalks, security systems, fire alarm systems, and future
building additions or expansions; and The Library will be responsible for equipment,
furnishings, and interior maintenance within the Library portion of the building;
Shared spaces will generally be maintained through a 50/50 cost-sharing
arrangement; Capital Improvement requests exceeding $10,000 with a useful life
greater than five years will continue to be submitted through the City’s Capital
Improvement Plan process; and the agreement establishes procedures for handling
unexpected repairs and replacements that may impact library operations of public
safety. The MOU provides a framework that will assist both the city and the Library
Board with future budgeting, capital planning, and facility management.
Hintz/Granquist motion to approve the Memorandum of Understanding for Use
and Cost Sharing Between the City of Prescott and the Prescott Public Library
Board. There was no discussion on the motion. Motion passed without a
negative voice vote.
8. OTHER BUSINESS
There was no other business.
9. CLOSED SESSION
1. Closed session per Wisconsin State Statute 19.85 (1)(c) “Considering employment,
promotion, compensation, or performance evaluation data of any public employee
over which the governmental body has jurisdiction or exercises responsibility.” –

Hintz motioned to approve the minutes for April 20th. Bettis seconded; motion passed
without a negative voice (3-0).
2. Non-Motorized Boat Launch – Repair and Maintenance Items
City Administrator Wolf presented items related to repairs and maintenance at the Prescott
Non-Motorized Boat Launch. Staff noted that a second quote was previously pursued, but
no additional contractors expressed interest in completing the work.
Franz Altpeter, 1110 Lake St, stated he was surprised by the current condition of the boat
launch and commented that the stairs were in poor condition. He supported making
improvements, including the addition of railings, and noted that the park is well used.
Kris Sampson agreed the launch receives frequent use and commented that accessibility
improvements for visitors and kayakers should be considered. Sampson also suggested
adding garbage cans near the beach area.
Committee Member Bettis suggested evaluating whether replacing the stairs entirely with a
ramp may be a better long-term option and encouraged reviewing different improvement
alternatives for the site.
Committee Member Hintz supported addressing safety concerns promptly, particularly the
stairs and potential installation of railings, and suggested larger improvements could be
planned in phases.
Committee Member Sorenson directed staff to obtain an updated quote from Luke Busker
Masonry and bring the item back to the Parks & Public Works Committee for further
discussion and direction on next steps.
Review and Discussion on Magee Park Sign Layout
City Planner Luke Wiese presented the Magee Park Sign Layout map. The map identifies
proposed signage locations throughout the park and shows different sign types including
informational, safety, directional, trail marker, and boundary signs.
Kris Sampson, 611 Lake St, commented on including signs that identify park rules and
permitted uses. Sampson also suggested considering the multiple transportation and
recreational uses accommodated on the trail system.
The Committee agreed that incorporating rules and using information into the signage plan
would be beneficial.
Discussion on Transportation Resolution Requested from the League of Wisconsin
Municipalities
City Administrator Wolf presented information from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities
regarding a proposed transportation funding resolution. The resolution is intended to
advocate for a long-term transportation funding solution at the State level ahead of
development of the 2027–2029 biennial budget.
Discussion included increasing transportation costs, transportation aid not keeping pace
with inflation, and the impacts these funding trends have on local roadway maintenance
and infrastructure responsibilities.
Committee member Sorenson made a recommendation to the City Council to adopt
the resolution provided by the League of Wisconsin Municipalities, Bettis seconded;
motion passed without a negative voice (2-0).
3. Other Business
City Administrator Wolf explained that the motorized boat launch has gotten repeatedly hit
this spring. The rubber rail along the dock has been ripped off multiple times by passing
boats.
Committee member Bettis attested to this happening and suggesting getting better
material to prevent it from getting ripped off. The dock will have continual issues if the issue
is not addressed properly. Committee member Bettis told staff he would provide an
example of a product that could help.
Kris Sampson explained that with the parks in Prescott it would be nice to have a cohesive
opening date so the public could be more informed on when the parks will be fully opened.
Sampson also had additional feedback on garbage in the parks and irrigation along the
boat launch.
Commissioner Bettis motioned to adjourn. Sorenson seconded; motion passed
without a negative voice (2-0). The meeting was adjourned at 5:58 PM.
The next Parks & Public Works Committee will be June 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM.

Subject: Sidewalk Café Applications for Twisted Oak Coffee Shop and The Corner Italian
Discussion
Each year, businesses located within commercially zoned properties in downtown Prescott may
apply for a Sidewalk Café License. These licenses are valid from July 1st until June 30th of the
following year. The purpose of this license is to support the vitality and revitalization of
downtown Prescott by allowing seasonal use of public sidewalks adjacent to food-serving
establishments. When operated in compliance with the limitations outlined in City Ordinance §
506-10, sidewalk cafes generally have minimal impacts on parking availability and pedestrian
traffic.
A Sidewalk Café is defined as a group of tables, chairs, and related decorative or accessory
items situated and maintained upon the public sidewalk for use in connection with the
consumption of food and/or beverages sold to the public by an adjoining food establishment.
When only food and non-alcoholic beverages are served, clearly delineated areas are not
required, although they can be beneficial in defining the café area and directing pedestrian
traffic. However, if alcoholic beverages are served, a stanchion barrier is required pursuant to
City Ordinance § 506-10.I(2), which states:
The area in which the sidewalk cafe is authorized is clearly delineated and separated
from the areas of the sidewalk by a stanchion barrier at a prescribed barrier height of
three feet. The stanchions are to have manufactured weighted bases with the base edge
placed so that the designated pedestrian walkway is not impeded. Stanchion barriers
shall be secured with a base approved by the Director of Public Works.
Over the past week, the city has received complaints regarding the sidewalk café area located
at 202 Broad Street. Staff received separate sidewalk café plans from each establishment that
do not coordinate with one another and appear to propose overlapping use of the same
sidewalk space. The current table and chair configurations impede the pedestrian walkway and
measure less than the width required by Section 506-10.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the sidewalk café applications submitted by Twisted Oak and The
Corner Italian’s Sidewalk Café applications until both parties can reach an agreement and
submit coordinated plans that comply with the requirements of Section 506-10.

Subject: 2026A Borrowing
Background
As part of the City's 2025–2031 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the City has identified several
capital projects requiring borrowing, including the mill and overlay of Orrin Road, pedestrian
improvements along U.S. Highway 10, and the purchase of a new fire engine. The proposed
2026A borrowing combines these projects into a single General Obligation Promissory Note
issuance to reduce overall issuance costs.
The Fire Association members from Prescott, Oak Grove, and Clifton held a joint meeting on
January 14, 2026, and agreed to move forward with the prepayment of Fire Engine #2 from
Reliant Fire Apparatus, Inc. Prepayment of the apparatus resulted in total savings of
approximately $147,730 for the Association members, with $83,910 attributable to the City of
Prescott. Including accessory costs, the City's share of the fire engine project totals $836,692.
The City's original Capital Improvement Plan included reconstruction of Orrin Road and the
addition of a pedestrian trail. Following completion of the Transportation Alternatives Program
(TAP) planning grant with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), the City
Council approved a concept plan for pedestrian improvements along U.S. Highway 10 (see
attached). The City subsequently applied for TAP grant funding for design and construction of
the plans in October 2025. In May 2026, WisDOT notified the City that it had been awarded
construction funding only, meaning the City would be responsible for 100% of the design costs.
Because WisDOT currently anticipates construction occurring in 2030, the City must
separately finance the design phase and delay borrowing for the local share of construction
costs to comply with federal arbitrage requirements.
Discussion
On Wednesday, May 27 the City held a Council Workshop to discuss the TAP grant project.
As part of that workshop the Council agreed to move forward with the TAP grant with the City
taking on full design costs.
As part of the May 27 meeting the Council also agreed to include costs designing a future
street and storm sewer layout for Campbell Street. This will ensure that the TAP pedestrian
improvements align any future street improvements in a coordinated manner to avoid any
unnecessary reconstruction. The full project list with costs is below:
Item Timeline Total City Cost
TAP Grant Engineering and Design 2027-2029 $ 580,000
Orrin Road 2027 Mill and Overlay 2027 $ 457,627
Campbell Street Design (Street and Storm) 2027-2029 $ 108,000
Fire Engine Purchase 2027 $836, 692
$ 1,982,319
The estimated City share for the construction phase of the TAP project is approximately
$1,391,860. Because construction is not expected until 2030, borrowing for these costs at this
time would exceed the normal expenditure period associated with tax-exempt borrowing.
Therefore, these costs will be incorporated into the City's anticipated 2028 or 2029 borrowing.
Staff will update the Capital Improvement Plan later this year to reflect the revised timing and
financing assumptions associated with the TAP project.
Financing
The proposed borrowing will be issued as General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A
with a total borrowing cost of $2,075,000. Based on information provided by Ehlers &
Associates, the financing assumptions include:
• Additional $25,928 included in Underwriting Costs
• Costs Related to Issuance (i.e. Attorney, Bond Counsel, Financial Advisor) include
$65,350
• 20-year General Obligation Promissory Notes;
• Level annual debt service payments;
• 100 percent debt levy support;
• Continued maintenance of substantial remaining debt capacity. The City's General
Obligation debt remains well below the statutory debt limit, leaving significant capacity
for future capital projects.
The City met with Moody’s Ratings on June 17, which once again assigned the City a Aa3
Issuer Rating (see attached Moody’s Press Release). The sale of the bonds are to be
completed Monday, June 22, at 10:00 am, which Ehlers will present at the meeting. A draft
resolution is included, and the completed resolution will be available for Council at the meeting
with the lowest bid.
Recommendation
1. Review the Results of the 2026A Bond Sale with the City’s Financial Advisors,
Ehlers
2. Consider Approval of Resolution 29-26 A Resolution Providing for the Issuance,
Sale, and Delivery of $2,075,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series
2026A.

Constitution and laws of the State of Wisconsin to be done and to exist precedent to and
in the issuance of this Note, in order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of
the City in accordance with its terms, have been done and do exist in form, time and

considered as separate and distinct accounts within the Debt Service Fund. There shall be
maintained in the Debt Service Fund a separat e account, to be designated the 2026A Promissory
Notes Debt Service Account.
4.03 2026A Promissory Notes Debt Service Account. To the 2026A Promissory Notes
Debt Service Account (“Debt Service Account”) there is hereby pledged and irrevocably

11
shall be used to reduce the amount of taxes levied herein. No money shall be withdrawn from the
Debt Service Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes until all such principal and interest ha s been paid in full and canceled;
provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Notes prior
to the scheduled receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct
obligations of the Unit ed States of America maturing in time to make such payme nts when they
are due; and (ii) any funds over and above the amount of such principal and interest payments on
the Notes may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or may, at the option of the City, be
invested by purchasing the Notes as permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin
Statutes, in interest bearing obligations of the United States of America, or in other obligations of
the City, which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Account. When all of
the Notes have been paid in full and cancelled, and all permitted investments disposed of, any
money remaining in the Debt Service Account shall be deposited in the general fund of the City ,
unless the Common Council directs otherwise.
4.04 Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and interest on the Notes as
the same become due, the full faith, credit and resources of the City are hereby irrevocably pledged
and there hereby is levied on all the taxable property in the City a direct, annual, irrepealable tax
in such years and in such amounts as are sufficient to meet such principal and interest payments
when due; said tax is hereby levied in the years and in the minimum amounts shown on Exhibit A
hereto, which is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein. The City shall be and
continue to be without power to repeal such levy or obstruct the collection of said tax until all such
payments have been made or provided for. After the issuance of the Notes, said tax shall be, from
year to year, carried into the tax rolls of the City and collected as other taxes are collected, provided
that the amount of tax carried into said tax rolls may be reduced in any year by the amount of any
surplus money in the Debt Service Account created in Section 4.02 hereof.
4.05 The City authorizes the Purchaser to forward $________________ of proceeds of
the Notes allocable to the payment of issuance expenses to Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, Minneapolis, Minnesota , on the date of closing and delivery of the Notes (the

Section 6. Tax Covenants.
6.01 The City covenants and agrees with the holders of t he Notes that the City will
(i) take all action on its part necessary to cause the interest on the Notes to be exempt from federal
income taxes including, without limitation, restricting, to the extent necessary, the yield on
investments made with the proceeds of the Notes and investment earnings thereon, making
required payments to the federal government, if any, and maintaining books and records in a
specified manner, where appropriate, and (ii) ref rain from taking any action which would cause
interest on the Notes to be subject to federal income taxes, including, without limitation, refraining
from spending the proceeds of the Notes and investment earnings thereon on certain specified
purposes.
6.02 A. No portion of the proceeds of the Notes shall be used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which were used directly or indirectly to
acquire higher yielding investments, except (i) for a reasonable temporary period until such
proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Notes were issued; and (ii) in addition to the
above, an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Notes or
$100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Notes and any sums from time to time held in the
Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal and interest
to become due on the Notes) in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage
13
regulations may be invested without regard as to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of
the applicable yield restrictions imposed by the arbitrage regulations on such investments after
taking into account any applicable temporary periods or mi nor portion made available under the
federal arbitrage regulations.
B. The proceeds of the Notes and money in the Debt Service Account shall not be
invested in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or insured by the United States or any
agency or instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such investment would cause the Notes
to be federally guaranteed within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”).
C. The City hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Notes, or to cause or
permit them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Notes to be “private activity bonds” within
the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.
6.03 A. The Common Council covenants and certifies to and for the benefit of the
owners of the Notes that no use will be made of the proceeds of the Notes which will cause the
Notes to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to such covenant, unless the Notes qualify under
one or more of the arbitrage rebate exceptions, the Common Council hereby agrees to comply
throughout the term of the Notes with the requirements of Section 148 of the Code and any
Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; to this end, the City shall:
(1) maintain records identifying all “gross proceeds” (as defined in Section
148(f)(6)(B) of the Code) attributable to the Notes, the yield at which such gross proceeds
are invested, any arbitrage profit derived therefrom (earnings in excess of the yield on the
Notes) and any earnings derived from the investment of such arbitrage profit;
(2) make, or cause to be made as of the end of each Bond Year, the annual
determinations of the amount, if any, of excess arbitrage required to be paid to the United
States by the City (hereinafter, the “Rebate Amount”);
(3) pay, or cause to be paid, to the United States at least once every five Bond
Years the amount, if any, which is required to be paid to the United States, including the
last installment which shall be made no later than 60 days after the day on which the Notes
are paid in full;
(4) not invest, or permit to be invested, “gross proceeds” in any acquired non -
purpose obligations so as to deflect arbitrage otherwise payable to the United States as a
“prohibited payment” to a third party;
(5) retain all records of the annual determinations of the foregoing amounts
until six years after the Notes have been fully paid; and
(6) in order to comply with the foregoing paragraph, the Common Council shall
determine the Rebate Amount within 30 days after the close of each Bond Year and upon
14
payment in full of the Notes ; upon each such determination, the Common Council shall
deposit in the Rebate Fund the Rebate Amount so determined; the Common Council shall
separately account for the earnings from the investment of the Rebate Amount and such
earnings shall become part of the Rebate Amount.
B. For purposes of this Section, “Bond Year” shall mean the 12- month period
beginning on the date of issuance of the Notes or such other 12 -month period designated by the
Common Council which is permitted by the Code or any Treasury Regulation promulgated
thereunder.
C. The City shall use its best efforts to comply with any f ederal procedural
requirements which may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this section.
6.04. In o rder to qualify the Notes as “qualified tax -exempt obligations” within the
meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code, the City hereby makes the following factual statements
and representations:
(1) the Notes are not “private activity bonds” as defined in Section 141 of the
Code;
(2) the City hereby designates the Notes as “qualified tax-exempt obligations”
for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(3) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax- exempt obligations (other than
private activity bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity
bonds) which will be issued by the City (and all entities whose obligations will be
aggregated with those of the City) during the calendar year in which the Notes were issued
will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(4) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the City during the
calendar year in which the Notes were issued have been designated for the purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
Section 7. Continuing Disclosure. The City acknowledges that the Notes are subject
to the continuing disclosure requirements of Rule 15c2- 12 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (the
“Rule”). The Rule governs the obligations of certain underwriters to require that issuers of
municipal bonds enter into agreements for the benefit of the bondholders to provide continuing
disclosure with respect to such bonds. To provide for the public availability of certain information
relating to the Notes and the security therefor and to permit underwriters of the Notes to comply
with the Rule, which will enhance the marketability of the Notes, the Mayor and the City Clerk
are hereby authorized and directed to execute a Continuing Disclosure Certificate substantially in
the form of the Certificate currently on file in the office of the City.
Section 8. Post-Issuance Tax Compliance. The Common Council has previously
approved a Post -Issuance Debt Compliance Policy and Post -Issuance Debt Compliance
15
Procedures which applies to qualifying obligations to provide for compliance with all applicable
federal regulations for tax -exempt obligations or tax- advantaged obligations (collectively, the
“Policy and Procedures”). The Common Council hereby approves the Policy and Procedures for
the Notes. The City Administrator continues to be designated to be responsible for post-issuance
compliance in accordance with the Policy and Procedures.

Moody's Ratings assigns Aa3 to City of Prescott, WI's GO
notes
Moody's Ratings (Moody's) has assigned a Aa3 to the City of Prescott, WI's General Obligation
Promissory Notes, Series 2026A with a proposed par amount of about $2.1 million. We
maintain the city's Aa3 issuer rating and the Aa3 ratings on its outstanding general obligation
unlimited tax (GOULT) debt. Following the sale, the city will have roughly $13 million in total
debt outstanding.
RATINGS RATIONALE
The Aa3 issuer rating balances the city’s solid local economy and robust financial ratios against
its smaller operating size and lower resident income ratio. The city is located on the outer edge
of the Twin Cities metro area and its local economy benefits from tourism activity, which
supports its full value per capita of $150,000 and helps offset its lower resident income ratio of
only 88%. Finances are strong; with available fund balance and liquidity ratios around 120%
and 155% in fiscal 2024 (year-end December 31), respectively. The city’s scale of operations is
relatively small, with total revenue of only about $8.7 million. Preliminary financial results for
fiscal year 2025 (unaudited) indicate balanced results, and the city’s fiscal year 2026 budget
projects continued stability driven by continued economic development and steady population
increases. Following this sale, the city’s long-term liabilities ratio will be around 170%. Leverage
should remain moderate as the city borrows regularly for capital needs.
The Aa3 rating on the GOULT bonds is at the same level as the Aa3 issuer rating because of the
town's full faith and credit pledge and the authority to levy a dedicated property tax unlimited
as to rate and amount to pay the bonds.
RATING OUTLOOK
We do not assign outlooks to local governments with this amount of debt.
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO AN UPGRADE OF THE RATINGS
• Economic growth that drives growth in the resident income ratio and full value per
capita or revenue growth that drives growth in size of operations closer to $10 million
annually
• Long-term liabilities ratio declining below 120%

Press Release
DRAFT – CONFIDENTIAL 2
FACTORS THAT COULD LEAD TO A DOWNGRADE OF THE RATINGS
• Deterioration of fund balance below 35%
• Growth in long-term liabilities above 250%
PROFILE
The city of Prescott is located on the border between the states of Minnesota (Aaa stable) and
Wisconsin (Aa1 stable). The city provides public safety, public works, utility and recreation
services to a population of around 4,500 residents.

To: Mayor and Council
From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator
Date: June 18, 2026
Subject: Well #4 Reimbursement Resolution
Background
On April 10, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released new drinking water
regulations requiring the City of Prescott to address PFAS contamination within its municipal water
system. In response, the City engaged CBS Squared to evaluate long-term alternatives for Wells #2
and #4 and to develop a strategy to maintain regulatory compliance. The Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) is expected to fully implement the standards over a three-year period, after
which the City will have up to two additional years to comply.
Following completion of the Water Supply and Treatment Engineering Report, the Common Council
held a workshop to review alternatives and ultimately favored treatment of Well #4. On August 11,
2025, the Council adopted Resolution 45-25 approving a Professional Services Agreement with CBS
Squared for engineering and related services associated with PFAS treatment, future water supply
improvements, and State Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) funding applications. The
agreement included engineering services for the Well #4 Water Treatment Plant, Well #5 test well,
and watermain looping improvements.
CBS Squared has since completed the preliminary design and developed an estimate of probable
costs for the Well #4 Water Treatment Plant Upgrade (see attached) through Anion Exchange
Treatment. The current project estimate is approximately $4,427,000, including construction,
contingency, engineering, legal expenses, interim interest, bonding costs, and financial advisor
services.
Discussion
The City intends to finance the Well #4 Water Treatment Plant project through the Wisconsin Safe
Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) just as we did with the Well #3 improvements. Because
project expenditures may occur prior to receiving loan proceeds, the City is required to adopt a
reimbursement resolution declaring its official intent to reimburse expenditures from future
borrowing proceeds. The proposed resolution establishes a maximum reimbursement amount of
$5,000,000. While the current estimated project cost is approximately $4.43 million, the
reimbursement amount has been rounded upward to provide flexibility should construction bids
exceed estimates or additional project modifications become necessary. The proposed resolution
authorizes reimbursement from future SDWLP borrowing and establishes the City's intent under
Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.
Staff continues to work with the Wisconsin DNR and the SDWLP program to determine the amount
of principal forgiveness that may be available for the project. Based on current guidance from Noah
Balgooyen, SDWLP Program Coordinator, the project may qualify for up to 70 percent principal
forgiveness.
In addition to pursuing SDWLP assistance, the City has sought Congressional Discretionary Spending
support through Congressman Van Orden’s and Senator Baldwin’s office. The latest update is that
the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies recently
completed its initial markup of the appropriations bill, and the City of Prescott's Well #4 project was
included in the bill at a funding level of $700,000. However, any Congressional Discretionary
Spending (CDS) funding received for the same project would reduce the amount of principal
forgiveness awarded through the SDWLP.
As explained by the SDWLP Program Coordinator, an example project with estimated costs of
$4,427,200 and an initial principal forgiveness award of 70 percent ($3,098,900) would see that
amount reduced by any CDS award received. Assuming a $700,000 CDS award, the revised principal
forgiveness amount would be approximately $2,398,900, representing approximately 54.2 percent of
total project costs. The City is asking for clarification from the DNR on how this funding arrangement
would work.
Adoption of the reimbursement resolution does not obligate the City to borrow the full $5,000,000
amount. Rather, it preserves the City's ability to reimburse eligible project costs with future
borrowing proceeds and ensures compliance with federal tax regulations associated with the Safe
Drinking Water Loan Program. The full application to the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program is due at
the end of June with the DNR making final funding decisions later this year.

To: Mayor and Council
From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator
Date: June 11, 2026
Subject: Non-Motorized Boat Launch Repairs and Maintenance
Background
At its June 15, 2026 meeting, the Parks and Public Works Committee reviewed an updated quote for
repairs and maintenance to the non-motorized boat launch located at the end of Lake Street. The
original proposal totaled $72,375 and included the following work:
• Demolition and replacement of existing sidewalks and concrete stairs;
• Concrete pumping;
• Removal of existing mortar and tuckpointing of fieldstone stairway walls;
• Fabrication and installation of new stone plinths for the planter bowls;
• Tuckpointing and resetting limestone wall stones along the existing retaining walls;
• Restoration and recoating of bench seats;
• Removal and restoration of cast iron bowls and concrete stands; and
• Mobilization and delivery costs.
During the meeting, the Committee directed staff to remove several items from the project in order
to preserve funding for future park maintenance needs. The following items were removed from the
scope of work:
1. Fabrication and installation of new stone plinths for the planter bowls. City staff will remove
the existing plinths and planter bowls prior to repairs.
2. Restoration and recoating of the bench seats. City staff will remove the benches prior to
repairs.
3. Removal and restoration of the cast iron bowls and concrete stands. City staff will remove the
cast iron bowls prior to repairs.
The Committee also requested pricing for the addition of a handrail at the non-motorized boat
launch.
Discussion
Luke Busker Masonry has provided an updated proposal totaling $62,052 after removing the items
identified by the Parks and Public Works Committee.
In addition, after reviewing the site on June 15, 2026, Luke Busker Masonry provided a separate
proposal for additional improvements. These improvements include shoreline stabilization with
boulders and the construction of a ramp to provide easier access to the water for kayakers. The
proposal for these improvements is attached and totals $69,600.
Financing
After reviewing the scope of work, staff recommends proceeding with the $62,052 repair and
maintenance project.
The City previously loaned $105,000 from the Capital Fund to Tax Increment District No. 4. These
funds are scheduled to be repaid to the Capital Fund this year and are intended to be used for future
one-time capital expenditures. Staff recommends utilizing these repaid Capital Fund dollars to
finance the proposed repairs.
With this approach, the second phase of improvements could be reviewed later this year as part of
the Capital Improvement Plan process. Delaying the additional improvements would also allow staff
to determine how much funding remains in the 2026 Parks Escrow budget line item and whether any
remaining balance should be transferred to the Parks Improvement Fund to support future park
projects and maintenance needs.
Recommendation
Consider Approval of Resolution 31-26 Approving Repairs and Maintenance to the Non-Motorized
Boat Launch for a Total Cost of $62,052 from Luke Busker Masonry

Subject: Prescott Wastewater Treatment Facility CMAR 2025
Discussion
Every year, the City of Prescott is required by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
to complete a Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) for the City's wastewater treatment
facility. The report is completed for Prescott's Wastewater Treatment Facility under WPDES Permit
No. 0022403 and serves as a self-audit of the overall performance of the wastewater system. In
essence, the CMAR functions as a report card for the City's wastewater operations.
The report includes monthly flow data and sampling results for both influent and effluent
wastewater quality. Monthly averages and laboratory testing results are evaluated to determine how
effectively the treatment facility is operating and to identify areas that may require additional
attention. Performance measures, including Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended
Solids (TSS), phosphorus removal, and energy consumption, are used to calculate the overall
treatment efficiency of the facility.
The full 2025 CMAR can be found at:
https://www.prescottwi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1127/2025-CMAR-Report
Prescott's Wastewater Treatment Facility received an overall score of 2.34 out of 4.00 in 2025,
compared to a score of 3.66 out of 4.00 in 2024. The primary reason for the decrease was the high-
strength wastewater discharges from SV Labs between July and September 2025. These discharges
resulted in a grade of D for BOD/COD, a grade of B for Total Suspended Solids (TSS), and a grade of F
for phosphorus removal for the year.
As a result of these elevated discharges, the City approved Resolution 53-25 in October 2025,
authorizing staff to discontinue sewer service to SV Labs if the company failed to achieve compliance.
Since that time, SV Labs has taken corrective actions and has returned to compliance. However, the
impacts from the 2025 discharges are reflected in the lower overall CMAR score for the year.
Should similar issues occur in the future, the City will work promptly to address them using the
enforcement measures authorized by the Common Council through Resolution 53-25.

Approve Resolution 32-26 Informing the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on the Prescott
Wastewater Treatment Plant

2. Set forth the following actions necessary to maintain effluent requirements
contained in the WPDES Permit:
(a) Continued education of staff
(b) Continued compliance according to operation and maintenance manuals
(c) Continued evaluation of facility and efficiency of plant in relation to
service area and future growth patterns
(d) Continue to work on phosphorous reduction on effluent discharge

Subject: Approving Professional Services Agreement with Ayers Associates for Prescott
Business Park Concept Master Planning from TID #6
Background
At its March 23, 2026 meeting, the City approved an agreement with IAG Commercial to
provide brokerage services for the marketing and promotion of the approximately 150-
acre Prescott Business Park. During discussions with IAG regarding strategies to
improve the marketability of the property, it was recommended that the City consider
preparing a master planning document and conceptual site layout to provide
prospective developers and businesses with a clearer vision of the type of development
and long-term character desired in the Business Park and along the USH 10 corridor.
Staff subsequently requested proposals from ISG and Ayres Associates for preparation
of a conceptual master plan for the Business Park. These proposals were reviewed by
the City Council at a workshop held on May 27, 2026.
Discussion
Ayres Associates submitted an updated proposal dated June 18, 2026, which focuses
on creating a three-dimensional model and visualization package for Prescott Business
Park. With the intent to provide realistic, market-ready images that can be used for
economic development, marketing, recruitment, and funding discussions.
The proposal would utilize the preferred site concept and existing CAD information to
develop a detailed 3D model showing roadways, parcels, grading, and stormwater
features. The model would also incorporate surrounding topography and adjacent land
uses to provide context and scale. Ayres would create realistic development scenarios
with representative buildings, vehicles, landscaping, and other site features intended to
demonstrate how the Business Park could develop over time.
The scope of services includes:
• Development of a complete three-dimensional digital model of the preferred
concept.
• Creation of targeted visual perspectives illustrating market-ready development
scenarios.
• Production of approximately 10 to 20 high-quality rendered images suitable for
presentations and marketing materials.
• Up to two virtual review meetings with City staff and the project team.
• Refinement of the model and renderings based upon feedback received during
the review process.
Ayres anticipates completing the work within approximately three months following
authorization to proceed. The proposed lump sum fee for the work is $11,000. The
financing for this work would come from Tax Increment District No. 6, which will have
$16,747 in funding for 2026 to cover the costs.
The final product will provide the City and IAG Commercial with better marketing
materials to help prospective developers and industries understand the vision of the
Prescott Business Park. In addition, the rendering visuals can be used for any potential
presentations, grant applications, and future infrastructure improvements/site
development.

Re: Prescott Industrial Park Proposal
Dear Luke:
This effort is focused on helping the City of Prescott clearly visualize the future of its industrial park through
high-quality 3D modeling and visualization. Using base linework prepared by others, our team will translate the
preferred site concept into a realistic, buildable vision that communicates how the park can function, grow, and
compete in the market.
In our experience working across a wide range of projects—from community parks and public spaces to private
and industrial developments—3D modeling and visualization consistently helps move projects to the next level.
It takes ideas off the page and turns them into something people can understand, react to, and get behind.
More than just a graphic exercise, it becomes a tool for decision-making, alignment, and momentum.
Our integrated team of landscape architects and engineers will build and test a variety of development
scenarios within the model, helping the City explore how the site can perform under different conditions and
uses. This process not only strengthens the preferred concept, but also helps identify opportunities and
refinements that may not be apparent in traditional plan drawings alone. We will look beyond simply producing
images to ensuring the model adds real value—highlighting opportunities, supporting conversations, and
helping position the park for successful implementation.
We appreciate the opportunity to support the City in advancing this vision.
Sincerely,
Ayres Associates Inc.

Brillion, WI
The Brillion Iron Works redevelopment presents a vivid example of Ayres’ innovation and problem-solving on a 145-acre
abandoned foundry on the edge of a small Wisconsin city with a population of only 3,100.
Our strategic alliance of professionals has orchestrated an inspiring redevelopment vision, channeling inspiration from the
innovators at Ariens’ Corporation. The future of the site includes repurposing portions of the campus for a STEM park, encouraging
kids to explore nature and interactive installations that demonstrate science and technology principles. This activity reflects the
uses envisioned for the repurposed foundry – slated for repositioning as an innovation center and maker’s space. New residential
and mixed-use commercial offerings are benefited by proximity to natural amenities, including a daylighted streambed, walking
paths, playground and recreation fields. Quality of life amenities will support quality of business as Brillion competes to attract
families and talented new employees. We’re reviewing financial projections to ensure a profitable land use mix, while seeking
opportunities to leverage grant awards with tax increment financing. Our creative experts will be launching into branding to help
tell the story of the project to help entice investors and corporations to join the movement.
Ayres’ innovation is rooted in the history of the place, tapping into the heritage of ingenuity to create a new economic driver for
the City of Brillion. From urban design to park features and future land uses, we appreciate how authentic local solutions can
propel community investment. This ingenuity is reflected
in the seamless integration of Ayres’ services in reimagining
Brillion Iron Works.

The report recommended a 200,000-square-foot building with
no fewer than 150 residential units and roughly 5,000 square
feet of commercial space.
The report recognized the challenges with new development
in this market and recommended a number of creative options
including ground floor live/work units to all for greater flexibility
in use. We also included smaller flexible commercial spaces that
recognize the current market challenges. The recommendations
were accepted by the City and are currently the basis for a
Request for Proposals for a developer.
Eau Claire, WI
Ayres was hired by the City of Eau Claire to perform
a development analysis of the Block 7 property in
downtown Eau Claire for the purpose of positioning the
property for redevelopment. The team generated a report
that identified a development scenario for the project to
attract a private developer.
The financial analysis includes:
• A financial review and real estate development
proforma
• A review of the potential tax increment impact
• Recommendations on next steps
The financial review provided a rough estimate of the
project cost that used conservative assumptions regard-
ing construction costs and revenue expectations.

Peshtigo, WI
Ayres led a reuse concept planning effort for the
Landmark property at 310 Oconto Avenue in Peshtigo,
Wisconsin, in partnership with the Wisconsin DNR and
the City of Peshtigo. The work focused on rethinking
a vacant and deteriorated site into a place that could
meaningfully support community vitality, economic
reinvestment, and environmental responsibility. From
the beginning, the project emphasized understanding
local context and aspirations to ensure redevelopment
ideas were grounded in what mattered most to the
community.
A core component of the planning effort was a
deliberately collaborative process that paired technical
analysis with deep community listening. Ayres
completed a market and infrastructure evaluation to
test the feasibility of potential reuse scenarios while
leading a robust engagement program that included
workshops, surveys, and interactive charrette sessions.
Community input gathered through these efforts
directly shaped how reuse options were framed,
ensuring the resulting concepts felt authentic, locally
informed, and achievable rather than generic or
prescriptive.
The planning process concluded with a final
presentation and strategy prepared for City Council
consideration, providing Peshtigo with a clear,
community-supported framework for moving
redevelopment forward. Ayres delivered integrated
services including community planning, economic
analysis, environmental review, landscape architecture,
and funding strategy to support long-term project
success.

Fitchburg, WI
Located behind an existing strip mall and in the middle
of mixed-density housing, the Fitchburg Hub is an
iconic gathering space for the community. By expanding
on the existing program and improving the existing
amenities, this community space will be transformed
into a space that, through thoughtful design, will
generate user experiences that will leave lasting
impressions.
The Hub is part community park, part neighborhood
park that incorporates an ambitious and robust
program. The park programming that focuses on
neighborhood user experience will allow local residents
to play, exercise, gather, and connect. During the
design process, careful consideration was given to the
proximity and location of programming to allow for
flexibility of use but also the efficient layout of major
elements.
The community park side is an adaptable space that
can scale depending on the level of the event. From
farmers’ markets being held under the community
building to regular events at the community building,
the community side of this park will ensure a steady
stream of people and promote a high level of use.
Understanding the end use and the specific need for
various park elements allowed our team to thoughtfully
phase the project. The end result of this project will
capture the culture and promote the identity of its
community.

Project Understanding
Text Column Text Column
The City of Prescott is advancing a preferred
concept for the Ryden Road Industrial Park
expansion and requires clear, compelling visual tools
to communicate the vision to stakeholders, decision-
makers, and potential investors. Traditional plan
drawings alone can limit understanding of scale,
character, and development potential—particularly
for audiences outside the technical design team.
Three-dimensional visualization will bridge that gap
by translating the preferred concept into a realistic
and accessible representation. These visualizations
will help the City and its partners quickly grasp how
the site can develop, how infrastructure supports
growth, and how the park may function and look over
time. Just as importantly, they will serve as a tool for
economic development—supporting marketing,
recruitment, and funding discussions.
Project Approach
Our approach focuses on building a clear, credible,
and market-ready visual story of the preferred
concept—grounded in the design while allowing
flexibility to communicate development potential.
1. Model Development Grounded in Design
We will translate the preferred concept plan into a
coordinated 3D model that reflects the intended site
organization, including roadways, parcels, grading,
and stormwater features. This ensures the visuals
remain accurate and aligned with the underlying
design work.
2. Context and Scale Definition
To make the model meaningful, we will incorporate
surrounding context such as adjacent land uses,
topography, and key site edges. This helps viewers
understand how the industrial park fits within the
broader landscape and reinforces a sense of scale.
3. Market-Aware Visualization
Rather than generic imagery, we will populate the
model with building types, site elements, and activity
that reflect realistic industrial users and development
scenarios. This positions the park as “ready for
investment” rather than abstract or conceptual.
4. Placemaking and Storytelling
Targeted vignettes will be developed to illustrate key
moments—such as site entries, internal road
corridors, and representative development parcels.
These views will highlight functionality, identity, and
development potential in a way that resonates with
both technical and non-technical audiences.
5. Iterative Refinement
We will present initial visualizations to the project
team and use feedback to refine both the model and
the final imagery. This ensures that the visuals
accurately reflect the City’s priorities and messaging
goals.
6. Deliverables for Decision-Making and Marketing
Final renderings will be produced at a quality and
format suitable for presentations, public engagement,
and economic development materials—giving the City
a versatile toolset for ongoing use beyond the
planning process.

Scope of Services
3D Modeling & Visualization of Preferred Concept
Three-dimensional visualization will support design understanding, stakeholder communication, and decision-
making by allowing the City to experience the proposed industrial park in a realistic and intuitive way. These
visual tools help convey scale, character, and development potential of the preferred concept.
Scope of Services
• Review provided CAD files (provided by others) for completeness, accuracy, and coordination
(alignment, scale, and layering) prior to modeling
• Clean and organize base plan linework (by others), including removal of redundant elements and
consolidation of layers for efficient 3D translation
• Identify and communicate any gaps or inconsistencies in provided base information that may impact
model accuracy
• Build a 3D digital model of the preferred site concept based on provided plan information
• Develop a detailed site model representing grading, roadways, parcels, and stormwater features
• Incorporate contextual elements (adjacent properties, topography, and key surroundings) to ground the
model
• Populate the model with appropriate industry-standard entourage (buildings, vehicles, landscaping, and
site features) to illustrate intended character and use
• Create targeted placemaking vignettes to communicate market-ready development scenarios
• Produce a series of high-quality rendered views (10–20 images) illustrating key perspectives and
development opportunities
• Participate in up to two (2) virtual review meetings with the project team to present visualizations and
gather feedback
• Refine the model and rendered images based on project team input
Deliverables
• One (1) complete 3D model of the preferred concept
• 10–20 high-resolution rendered images suitable for presentations, stakeholder engagement, and
marketing materials
If you want, I can push this one step further and tailor the language toward economic development / site
marketing (which would resonate with Prescott’s goals).
