WICK 1928 – 1997 KENT PITLIK Chairman of the Board BRIAN PITLIK President BRADLEY PITLIK Vice-President CAROLYN LURVEY Secretary SCOTT WICK Treasurer Page 1 of 6 Environmental Loans Program Process Improvements Proposal Background The Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources (DNR) and Administration (DOA) recognize the current funding process of the Clean Water Fund Program (CWFP) and the Safe Drinking Water Loan Program (SDWLP) can be lengthy and cumbersome for both the state administrators and the program applicants. The DNR and the DOA have identified opportunities to improve the funding process. Under the current process, the period between the start of the funding cycle to the latest possible loan closing date can extend to approximately 28 months (over two years), or even longer if the project is not competing for principal forgiveness. Goals • Reduce the overall timeframe between project identification and loan closing. • Increase the value of notice of intent to apply (ITA) submissions by requiring projects to be further through the planning and design process before entering the funding process. • Improve the ratio of ITAs that advance to complete loan applications, resulting in more accurate and meaningful project priority lists. • Reduce administrative workload for DNR staff, municipalities, and consulting engineers by eliminating repetitive annual submissions by allowing the ITA to remain valid over multiple years. • Publish the funding lists early enough so that projects can be bid at the time of year with the best pricing. • Distribute loan closings more evenly across the funding cycle to reduce the concentrated surge of closings typically seen at the end of the funding cycle. Key Differences from Current Funding Process The proposal requires projects to be further through the planning and design process before entering the funding process but aims to make funding available more quickly once that point is reached. The funding timeline and process described below are intended to create a consistent timeline between the CWFP and SDWLP. This proposal decreases the timeline from ITA to latest possible loan closing from 28 months, or 34 months for non-principal forgiveness CWFP projects, to approximately 23 months for all projects. Intent to Apply Submission • The due date has changed. • Plans and specifications are now required with the ITA. • Annual ITA resubmittal is not required, as long as the original ITA remains active. • The ITA will remain active for as long as the plans and specifications approval is valid. • The ITA system remains open year-round. Page 2 of 6 The ITA deadline will now be May 1. Approvable plans and specifications will now be required to be submitted with the ITA and submitted to the applicable DNR program (wastewater, public water system, or storm water) through the plan review process by the ITA deadline. For projects applying through the CWFP, an approved facility plan must also be obtained before submitting the ITA. The CWFP facility plan deadline will be dependent on project type. If the project is for the wastewater treatment plant, the facility plan submittal deadline will be Nov. 1. If the project is for the collection system, or is a storm water project, the facility plan submittal deadline will be Feb. 1. Additionally, applicants will no longer be required to submit the ITA annually. Instead, an eligible ITA will remain active for as long as the associated plan and specification approval is valid as specified in the approval letter. A new ITA is required only if the approval expires or if a new plan and specification approval is required. The May 1 deadline will provide sufficient time for the DNR to complete eligibility determinations before the subsequent application deadline, allowing eligible projects to be ranked in priority score order via the self-score. However, the online ITA system will remain open throughout the year, and ITAs, along with plans and specifications, may be submitted at any time. Applicants who miss the May 1 ITA deadline are not precluded from applying later. Applicants may still apply after the Aug. 1 application deadline (supplemental applications), provided all applicable eligibility requirements are met. This rolling submission approach allows applicants to enter the funding process year-round while ensuring projects submitted by May 1 remain eligible for initial ranking and consideration for yearly principal forgiveness and loan funding. (Refer to “Supplemental Applications” below.) The new online ITA system is anticipated to open early February 2027. (Refer to “One Online System” below.) Project Priority List • The project priority list (PPL) will be updated more frequently rather than being published annually. • The PPL will reflect self-scores and project eligibility. The PPL will be maintained as a living document and updated on a quarterly basis. Quarterly updates will include the addition of projects for which plans and specifications have been submitted, and the removal of projects whose plans and specifications approval have expired or if the project has been awarded CWFP or SDWLP funding. As long as the plans and specifications approval remains valid, the project will continue to appear on the PPL. Projects will not be removed from the PPL solely because a new state fiscal year has begun. The PPL will reflect the priority ranking and evaluation formula (PERF) self-score. To ensure the DNR has enough time for project eligibility determinations and PPL preparation, new ITAs must be submitted by May 1 each year to be eligible to compete for principal forgiveness (PF) and loan funding with the Aug. 1 application deadline. ITAs submitted after May 1 will get placed on subsequent PPLs and can either submit an application after the Aug. 1 deadline as a supplemental application or wait for the next funding cycle to apply as a competitive application. Page 3 of 6 Application • The due date has changed. • The CWFP and SDWLP application deadlines are now aligned. The CWFP and SDWLP application deadline will now be Aug. 1. A consistent timeline between the two programs will help projects that are receiving funding from both programs (especially for combined watermain and sanitary sewer projects). The loan application will be available for all projects with a valid ITA on the PPL, meaning the DNR has received approvable plans and specifications for an eligible project. Supplemental applications will still be allowed at any time during the year for projects not competing for principal forgiveness; however, applicants will continue to be encouraged to follow the application deadline to compete for funding in case of loan capacity limitations. Supplemental Applications A supplemental application is any CWFP or SDWLP application submitted after the program’s competitive application deadline (Aug. 1) for the current funding cycle. These applications can be accepted if there is funding available but will not be eligible for principal forgiveness. Supplemental applications are not ranked and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. A complete supplemental application must be submitted by the end of the state fiscal year—June 30, 2028, for the state fiscal year (SFY) 2028 funding cycle. Funding Lists • The draft funding list will be published in November and final funding list in December. • PERF scores will be reviewed for all projects submitting a loan application. The DNR plans to publish the funding lists in a timely manner to better align with bidding schedules, with a draft funding list published in November and a final funding list in December. PERF scores will be reviewed by the DNR after the application deadline. Applicants will have 15 days from the published draft funding list date to submit a priority score reevaluation request. Loan Closing • The deadline has changed. • Loan closing is based on the effective date of the construction contract. The loan closing deadline will now be based on the effective date of the construction contract. Loan closing will be required within nine months of the construction contract’s effective date, or if the effective date is prior to the publishing of the draft funding list, then loan closing will be required nine months after the date the draft funding list is published. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the forfeiture of any allocated funding. The applicant may reapply for funding in the following year. Page 4 of 6 For example, if the draft funding list is published on Nov. 1, 2027: • For construction contracts with an effective date prior to Nov. 1, 2027, the loan would need to close no later than Aug. 1, 2028. • For construction contracts with an effective date after Nov. 1, 2027, the loan would need to close within 9 months of the effective date. (Note the readiness-to-proceed deadline below.) The readiness-to-proceed deadline for all projects, including supplemental applications, will be July 1, meaning bidding must have been completed and construction contracts executed by that date. Planning and Design Loans • Create a planning and design loan program. • Subsidized loan. • Loan term: five years. The DNR is considering developing an optional planning and design loan program to assist applicants with getting projects started. Funding would be offered through a subsidized loan for a maximum loan term of five years. The application would be available year-round; therefore, no application deadline would be established. The DNR plans follow-up with another effort to gauge interest and solicit feedback. One Online System • Applicants will have project access in one online system. The ITA/PERF system will be merged with the application and loan document upload system. The updated online system is anticipated to open in February 2027. Page 5 of 6 Table 1. SFY 2028 loan funding cycle deadlines. Nov. 1, 2026 Deadline for submitting wastewater treatment plant facility plans to the DNR Water Quality Bureau for review for state fiscal year 2028 (SFY 28) projects.

(CWFP Only) May 1, 2027 SFY 28 notice of intent to apply (ITA) deadline. • Approvable plans and specifications must be uploaded to the online system and submitted to the relevant DNR plan review program by the ITA deadline: o DNR Bureau of Water Quality through the wastewater plan review process. o DNR Bureau of Drinking Water and Groundwater through the public water system plan review process. o DNR Storm Water Program by email to the DNR regional storm water engineer or to the DNR central office storm water engineer. • A facility plan approval letter must be uploaded to the online system for all CWFP projects. Online system anticipated to open February 2027. July 1, 2027 Project priority list (PPL) published (shows eligible projects in priority score order based on self-scores). • The PPL will be updated quarterly; however, the July PPL establishes the eligible projects that may submit an application for funding and compete for principal forgiveness and loan funding on the SFY 28 funding list. Aug. 1, 2027 SFY 28 application deadline if competing for principal forgiveness (PF) and loan funding. Nov. 1, 2027 SFY 28 draft funding list published (shows each eligible project’s allocation of funds and the DNR project priority score). • Submit a priority score reevaluation request within 15 days of published draft funding list. Dec. 15, 2027 SFY 28 final funding list published (shows each eligible project’s allocation of funds). July 1, 2028 SFY 28 readiness-to-proceed deadline for all projects. ALL required bid documentation, including executed construction contracts, are due. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the forfeiture of any allocated funding. The applicant may reapply for funding in the following year. *Loan closing is required within 9 months of the effective date of the construction contract, or if the effective date is prior to the publishing of the draft funding list, then loan closing will be required 9 months after the date the draft funding list is published..

Required for grade C, D, or F): Influent Flow and Loadings: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Influent flow and loadings below design. Effluent Quality: BOD: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Excellent EFF BOD quality. Effluent Quality: TSS: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Excellent EFF BOD quality. Effluent Quality: Phosphorus: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Excellent EFF Phosphorus quality. Biosolids Quality and Management: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Land spreading records and reporting is all acceptable and meeting NR 204 requirements. Staffing: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Staff prioritize maintenance and take great pride in their work. Please continue the excellent performance. Operator Certification: Grade = C Compliance Maintenance Annual Report Eagle River City Of Last Updated: Reporting For: 6/22/2026 2025 Permittee Response: Apparently our WWTP changed from Basic to Advanced for some reason. We thought it was going to stay at Basic. We will work with the DNR to resolve this problem as the Operator in Charge only has a Basic liscence. DNR Response: At some point, the facility was classified as advanced due to utilizing biological phosphorus removal (BNR). Following the November 2025 compliance inspection, it was determined that the selector tanks do not consistently, effectively perform BNR. If future upgrades or process changes allow the selector tanks to successfully perform biological nutrient removal (BNR) and consistently achieve nutrient removal without chemical assistance, the department shall be notified. Upon verification, the department will upgrade the facility classification from Basic to Advanced and adjust operator certification requirements accordingly. Therefore, the OIC is certified at the proper level and holds the necessary subclasses. Disregard the points. Financial Management: Grade = A Permittee Response: DNR Response: Sound financial situation. Collection Systems: Grade = A (Regardless of grade, response required for Collection Systems if SSOs were reported) Permittee Response: Regular cleaning of lines and make sure back up parts are in stock or shipped quickly. DNR Response: Thank you for performing the repairs as quickly as possible to correct the issue that caused the digestor to foam over.

City attorney, Steve Garbowicz, has recommended that the City not entertain any further rezoning requests on Riverside Park until the County Board has approved a motion determining the future use of that property. • December 4, 2025 – An application to rezone the property was submitted by Phil Kreisel of MSA on behalf of the Vilas County Board. • January 8, 2026 – The City Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed rezoning of the property to Single - and Two-Family Residential zoning. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve the proposed zoning change, and the recommendation was forwarded to the City Council for consideration. • January 13, 2026 – Motion by Schaffer, 2nd by Dumas to approve Resolution 1072, a Resolution approving a preliminary plat for 10 lots at Riverside Park with 2 out lots as presented. Carried on a roll call vote. Ayes: Schaffer, Dumas; Nays: Washelesky; Burkett abstained. • June 19, 2026 (approx.) – Chad Keranen, a representative of the Vilas County Forest and Recreation Department and Committee submitted a request to rezone the property back to Park/Recreation. Following a discussion with the City Attorney and the County Board Chair, because the request was submitted by a committee that did not have authorization from the County Board, the request was returned to the County. • As of September 2, 2026 – No additional rezoning request has been submitted to the City by the Vilas County Board. Depot Brick Repairs – The brick work at the Depot is complete. All loose brick was torn off and re-laid, and a significant portion of the building was tuckpointed. July 27th Storm Damage – The roof on the bathroom at Riverview Park has been replaced, and the damaged fencing has also been repaired. A representative from the Pickleball Club indicated that she does not believe the court surface requires repair, as the discoloration appears to b e primarily from sap left behind by the spruce tree that came down during the storm. The sign company the City typically uses will be in town the week of September 7 to assess the industrial park sign that was damaged during the storm at the corner of Railroad and Jack Frost Streets. The sign itself sustained little damage; however, the po sts broke off at ground level, and the structure will need to be re-installed. 2 | Page Becky continues to compile all expenses related to the storm damage for the FEMA grant reimbursement. The documentation will be submitted once all work has been completed and the associated invoices have been received. City Attorney – The meet and greet special session has been scheduled for September 9 at 4 pm. I’ve received the information requested from the firm and will distribute that to the Council ahead of the meeting. IT/Phones/Internet – IT Strategies has been working on implementing our remote cloud backup system. During the installation of the new software, we experienced a couple of days of server issues, but those issues have since been resolved. IT Strategies has confirmed that we are now receiving clean and complete backups. I have also discussed with IT Strategies the importance of having a redundant backup as part of our overall backup strategy. Relying on a single backup system could leave us vulnerable if that system were to fail at the same time we experienced a server is sue. IT Strategies is currently evaluating options for adding a redundant backup to provide an additional layer of protection for the City's data. Departments /Committees/Commissions Golf Course – The Greens crew put siding on the south side of the cart barn. This low- cost upgrade looks much better and more professional than the tarps we replaced every other year. For the 2027 season we will look at adding barn doors on the ends to help protect the carts a little better, specifically in the winter months. The restaurant has requested the season -end check list and the contacts for our service providers who generally perform our close-out/opening duties on the equipment. Every time I’ve been in the clubhouse, the bar and restaurant appear busy. This has been a great improvement over the past few years. I’ve heard no complaints from golfers or from the proprietors, so I believe everything has been going well this season. Planning Commission – The Planning Commission continued to address several zoning and development-related matters. At its September meeting, the Commission held a public hearing on proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance that would remove storage buildings from permitted uses in the Highway Commercial District and from permitted-by-right uses in the Industrial District, instead allowing them as a conditional use in the Industrial District. The Commission also continued its review of the proposed recreational trail easement for the River Trail, including questions regarding utility access and maintenance responsibilities. The Commission also reviewed a request from the SnoEagles for a new groomer shed at the City’s DPW property. The Commission continued its review of proposed stormwater management and drainage ordinance changes intended to provide clearer standards for managing runoff from development and land-disturbing activities. The proposed ordinance would address potential flooding, ponding, erosion, and drainage impacts on neighboring or downstream properties by establishing thresholds for when stormwater management requirements would apply. Typical 3 | Page one- and two-family residential construction involving less than one acre of land disturbance would generally be exempt, provided there is no adverse drainage impact. The ordinance also establishes maintenance and corrective -action requirements and incorpo rates applicable state stormwater and erosion-control standards. A public hearing was anticipated for later in the fall. The version presented to the Commission was only a first draft for discussion purposes. Public Works – The first employee who had been off work for medical reasons has returned to work. As of August 31, 2026, he was released from light duty and returned to his regular full - time duties. Another employee who was injured on the job has surgery scheduled for mi d- September. He anticipates being off work for approximately three weeks following surgery before returning on light duty. He expects to be able to resume regular duty by the start of the winter season. DPW report on the previous month’s activities attached to this report (Appendix A) 2026 Projects Hwy 45 Xing – The committee has continued to meet regularly to finalize the kiosk and map components of the project. Equipment is being purchased to fulfill the requirements of ERRP’s grant, and the committee anticipates that the kiosk will be installed later this year. The committee is also working to identify several project-related items that they would like to include in the City’s 2027 capital improvement bidding process. ERRP will reimburse the City for the associated costs. I will work with the committee to work through the details, with a formal proposal expected to be presented to the City Council for consideration in October or November. Dog Park – The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) has a signed offer to purchase the property at 1100 N. Railroad Street from Aspirus for development of a veterans ’ memorial park, with closing anticipated later this month. At the Council meeting, Denny Geiseman will provide additional information regarding the potential addition of a dog park to the property. Following the presentation, the Council can consider whether the City would like to partner with the VRC on this community amenity, or if they prefer one of the other locations presented at the last meeting. 2026 Street Project – Due to the delayed bidding process, which was necessary to allow time for the State -Municipal Agreement with WisDOT for the First Street project (and despite waiting, was still not received in time) , several of our projects are getting a later start than anticipated this year. As a result, the City’s chipsealing work will be postponed until spring 2027, and the contractor will honor the 2026 pricing. This will include the planned double - chipsealing of the parking lot behind BMO. Safe Streets 4 All Grant – Still waiting for the agreement from the Federal government. My point of contact indicated that the agreement is anticipated to be received by the end of the year. 4 | Page Appendix A – Public Works Department for the Previous Month Submitted by Brad Adamovich During the month of August, the DPW completed a variety of road maintenance tasks, including, but not limited to, storm debris clean up, ditch mowing, street sweeping, and road patching. DPW crew also attended the National Night Out event to engage with the community. DPW received very few sewer calls during the month.

Adopted this ___ day of __________, 2026. CITY OF EAGLE RIVER ____________________________________________________ Debra A Brown, Mayor ____________________________________________________ Becky Bolte, Clerk Option#1: We discovered that the City owns a 1.7 acre parcel at the end of Railroad Street on Fern Street. The area would require some fill in one lower lying area, which DPW has informed me is available in their yard. This area will provide a large dog park with two areas (small & large dog areas), and plenty of room for parking. A sand point hand-pump well can be installed to provide water for dogs. With the area being away from other parks and traffic, we may not need the coyote rollers, leaving more funding for the fencing and well. This will retain the field behind City Hall for the Lions future plans, the little league t-ball group that uses the backstop, and snow storage in the winter, plus all of the other activities and usage the field sees throughout the summer months. DOG PARK - LOCATION OPTIONS Option#2: Push the dog park back to the skating rink area and create two areas (small & large dog areas). Move skating rink to Silver Lake Beach. This will retain the field behind City Hall for the Lions future plans, the little league t-ball group that uses the backstop, and snow storage in the winter, plus all of the other activities and usage the field sees throughout the summer months Option#3: Miller Park on Minnesota Street is going to require some investment in the coming years on the aging playground equipment. There is enough space back there to move the playground equipment over and re-design the remaining .75 acres to put in two areas (small and large dogs). This will retain the field behind City Hall for the Lions future plans, the little league t-ball group that uses the backstop, and snow storage in the winter, plus all of the other activities and usage the field sees throughout the summer months Option #4 – This property is owned by Trackside. The owners would be willing to trade the City for the section of frontage (they currently rent from the City), in exchange for a one-acre parcel and naming rights on the dog park. This will retain the field behind City Hall for the Lions future plans, the little league t-ball group that uses the backstop, and snow storage in the winter, plus all of the other activities and usage the field sees throughout the summer months Option #5 – Indiana Street. The neighboring parcel to the north is also owned by the City, which could expand the available property to 1.62 acres; however , the attorney at Aspirus that I was working with to remove the deed restriction is no longer with Aspirus, and I’m trying to re-establish a connection with their legal department. This will retain the field behind City Hall for the Lions future plans, the little league t-ball group that uses the backstop, and snow storage in the winter, plus all of the other activities and usage the field sees throughout the summer months Option #6: Request a portion of Riverside Park to be used as a joint effort between Vilas County and Eagle River to be used as a dog park. This option will be brought up to the Vilas County Fairgrounds and Riverside Park Complex Committee. Option #7 – A group of private individuals is working to purchase the property along Bluebird and Airport Roads, where the self-storage facility has been proposed earlier this summer . They would like to erect a veterans memorial, but since the parcel is 2.75 acres, may also be open to sharing the property with a dog park. A representative from the Veterans Resource Center will be at the meeting to discuss the LARGE DOG AREAAPPROX. 0.76 ACRESMALLDOGAREASHELTERDOUBLE GATE ENTRYSEE DETAILSFUTURE E.R.

Each 6" Pickup would be approx. $1,000 per truck = $15,000 +/- per truck/year Other considerations: More Wear, Tear, Deterioration on machines More fatigue for employees Lowered safety due to increased crossing/driving on busy streets Delayed clearing of roads resulting in more disgruntled citizens Math used to calculate: Fuel Costs: Estimated at $150 per additional hour for 6 machines used for pickup (3 dump trucks, blower, loader, and grader) 1/3 of our snow loads go to City Hall field. Potential 50% reduction of capacity from dog park and inevitable park expansion 4" pickup = 120 truck loads total. Divided by 1/3 = 40 loads to city hall. 50% reduction of capacity means 20 loads will need to go 6 minutes round trip further = 120 additional minutes 6" pickup = 180 truck loads total. Divided by 1/3 = 60 loads to city hall. 50% reduction of capacity means 30 loads will need to go 6 minutes round trip further = 180 additional minutes 8" pickup = 240 truck loads total. Divided by 1/3 = 80 loads to city hall. 50% reduction of capacity means 40 loads will need to go 6 minutes round trip further = 240 additional minutes 10" pickup = 300 truck loads total. Divided by 1/3 = 100 loads to city hall. 50% reduction of capacity means 50 loads will need to go 6 minutes round trip further = 300 additional minutes 12" pickup = 360 truck loads total. Divided by 1/3 = 120 loads to city hall. 50% reduction of capacity means 60 loads will need to go 6 minutes round trip further = 360 additional minutes *Wage ranges are based on employee average of regular rate and OT rate-including fringe benefits. Each pickup typically includes a mix of both types of wages DPW input regarding implications and considerations for dog park location behind City Hall: • DPW currently uses 3 privately owned dump sites. Behind Trigs, Visner Parking Lot, and Track Side Lot. What if we lose any of these lots due to sale, construction, or just non - renewal of permission to dump snow on these lots. The city does not have any ad ditional cleared lots for snow removal. Where will we make up the additional snow dumping area? • Early winter and late winter, we need hard surfaces to dump snow as the ground is soft and we sink and get stuck on soft surfaces. We need the ability to dump snow on the asphalt driveway off 3 rd street as well as the graveled roadbed along the tree line of Silver Lake Rd. • Financial and safety considerations if we need to haul further to other dump sites: o More OT, more fuel, more wear/tear on trucks, longer hours for DPW. Depending on the added distance, this could add several hours to each pick up. This is a safety hazard as DPW staff already works extensive hours for any snowfall. Additionally, this would reduce the turn time for making all roads safe for the community during winter. o FYI, currently an 8” snowfall takes 8 -10 hours to pick up (200-250 truckloads of snow); this doesn’t include outline plowing which is usually another 6 -8 hours after pickup. Adding further distance to a dump site will result in additional time needed to haul each load, resulting in additional time needed to pick up or additional hiring of dump trucks needed to haul. o To push the snow up higher, to create more space to accommodate the dog park, a new piece of equipment would be required. The crew pushes the snow up as high as possible with existing equipment. • Approximately 1/3 of our loads get dumped behind City Hall (67-84 loads per 8” snowfall) • If an alternate dump site takes 4 minutes longer per round trip that is an increase of an average of 4.5 to 5.5 additional hours added to just the pick up portion of our job. This would delay additional outline plowing by that time as well, further fatigue of workers and drastically increase the risk of accidents occurring. • This could be mitigated by hiring outside truck drivers, however that would be at a substantial additional cost to the City. • Safety considerations for alternate snow sites: Crossing Pine Street or Bridge Street is significantly more dangerous for truck drivers who have limited visibility after being loaded with snow. • Safety consideration: Proximity to children’s park and loose dogs & wandering children to the dog area (fingers through fence).
