The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Tyler Salvinski and was recited by all present. Roll Call: Kim Schaffer, Dan Dumas, and Jerry Burkett. Also in attendance: Robin Ginner, Becky Bolte, Cory Hoffmann, Brad Adamovich, Tyler Salvinski and Mike Sanborn. Absent Vic Washelesky Motion by Burkett, 2nd by Schaffer to approve the agenda in any order. Carried, all. Motion by Schaffer, 2nd by Dumas to approve the minutes of 2-10-2026 Finance Committee and Common Council meetings. Carried, all. a) Approval for a subcontractor to operate the concession stand at Silver Lake Beach, at no cost to the City of Eagle River: Ginner stated the Council had previously approved concession stand usage, but it never materialized. Mary Wick presented that she would like to sell pre-packaged items only (chips, soda, candy bars, ice cream, etc.) at the beach concession stand and would be the one to open and close the stand. Wick reported Chris Welcenbach would be running the stand. Wick stated having an adult set of extra eyes available at the beach was a great asset with the beach being unable to find staffing for lifeguards. Motion by Schaffer, 2nd by Burkett to approve subcontractor Mary Wick/Chris Welcenbach to operate the concession stand at Silver Lake Beach. City of Eagle River to absorb any additional utility costs. Carried on a roll call vote, all. b) MSA Monthly Updates: Phil Kriesel presented a written update including bid results for Sanitary Sewer Televising, Cleaning and Repair Services. c) E agle River Light & Water: Motion by Burkett, 2nd by Dumas to approve the presented Aqualis bid for annual cleaning/televising of the sanitary sewer system, $30,450 annually and going forward, with additional charges f or repairs as needed and authorized skipping the 2026 cleaning/televising of the sanitary sewer system to allow ERLW to rebuild reserves. Carried a roll call vote, all S anborn provided an update on sludge disposal. Multiple private fields are being investigated for possible sludge spreading however the DNR has multiple requirements that must be true/met before the land(s) could be used. Hauling to Medford was an option but cost prohibitive with 500,000 gallons currently costing $115,000 plus an estimated $100,000 in transport costs. Best option would be purchase our own property that meets all requirements for spreading. d) E agle River Department of Public Works: Elm Drive Stump Dump – No other feasible alternative options have been secured, Ginners composting requests went unanswered. Ginner recommended closing the Elm Drive Stump Dump to all private use and reconsidering the yard waste dumpster at the Public Works Shop on Bluebird. DPW Foreman Brad Adamovich presented purchasing of a dumpster to be housed and cameras at the DPW Shop on Bluebird for City of Eagle River resident usage for yard waste. Motion by Burkett, 2nd by Schaffer authorizing the purchase of a dumpster system to place at the Public Works Shop, 1020 Bluebird, for City of Eagle River residents use, for the disposal of yard waste, at a cost of up to $2,000.00.

Carried, all R equest for reconsideration of three-way stop at Sheridan and Silver Lake Roads: Ginner provided citizen comments with 83% supporting the installation of a three-way stop at Sheridan and Silver Lake Rd. Phil Kriesel of MSA submitted a statement that MSA was unaware of additional accidents in their February 18, 2026 opinion that the area did not meet the criteria for installation. Kriesel stated the City is the final authority on Page 4 th e installation and offered their services for an engineering review of the intersection if Council believed it would be warranted. Citizens that spoke in favor of stop sign installation: Jean Mraz -519 Hirzel, Steve Lucareli – 435 Sheridan, those who opposed: Eric Mallow -617 Hirzel, Mark Hella – 620 Bond St, and Kurt Schels -non City of Eagle River resident. Vic Washelesky submitted a written update that was read by Ginner into record, opposing the installation due to the following reasons: Chief Salvinski reporting no other accidents in the past 3-5 years, stating the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices spells out the warrants for all-way stop intersections which the intersection doesn’t meet any of the qualifications, reported reviewing a study of technical papers regarding residential all-way stop intersections that concluded: all way stops do not prevent speeding, stop compliance is poor at unwarranted all-way stop intersections, and pedestrian safety is decreased at unwarranted all-way stops. Washelesky favors radar speed signs and additional speed enforcement on Silver Lake Road. Schaffer stated Chief Dobbs did not report accidents and Schaffer questioned that additional enforcement had been done. Discussion on safety, enforcement, and alternatives. Burkett stated we have a traffic problem not a stop sign problem and turned the floor over to Police Chief Salvinski. Salvinski recommended placing radar speed signs and additional traffic/speed enforcement. In light of the presented 83% of respondents favoring the installation; Motion by Dumas to allow Police Chief ample time to start a traffic enforcement program including radar speed signs. Two calls for second, motion dies. Motion by Burkett, 2nd by Schaffer to install one additional stop sign at the intersection of Silver Lake Rd and Sheridan, going west from Silver Lake Beach, to stop the trucks going into town and to add speed enforcement as discussed. Carried on a roll call vote, all. e) E agle River Golf Course: Ginner presented that last season’s tenant at the golf course restaurant, Blaze Champeny, has a past due sum owed to the City of Eagle River for garbage service totaling $1,143.83. Discussion about the money still owed to the City of Eagle River by Blaze Champeny, DBA Turkey’s Clubhouse, including unpaid expenses for cleaning. Motion by Burkett to pursue Blaze Champeny, DBA Turkey’s Clubhouse, for an amount of $1,500.00 which includes the $1,143.83 in Republic Services bills for garbage service and ½ of the bill from Central Steam Cleaning and send Champeny to small claims to get the payment. Motion 2 nd by Schaffer for discussion. Carried on a roll call vote, all. Ayes: Burkett, Schaffer, Dumas Nays: None f ) Eagle River Fire Department: Jim Randall, Fire Chief, gave an update including data showing a large influx of calls, especially medical calls, due to the large influx of people in the area.

Burkett requested the Ambulance Commission meeting with Aspirus be scheduled. g ) Eagle River Police Department: Salvinski and Moran provided a written report of activity for February. Salvinski added he has received three applicants for officer job opening and that he is waiting for the COPS Grant to open to hire a second officer. h) C ity Administrator’s monthly update on activities of all departments: Ginner provided a written report. Ginner added that panic buttons have been installed. Ginner also added that the Assembly Bill that she provided testimony against in Madison, that would have restricted our extraterritorial jurisdiction, has died in committee. i ) Planning Commission: i. Lions Club request for final approval for municipal bathrooms at Gremban Park: Mike Sanborn of the Eagle River Lions Club presented plans for bathrooms at Gremban Park behind City Hall. Sanborn reported the following deviations from the presented plan: Gable ends will have siding – not block, Venting may change, Lions have received a request for possibly clear block for visibility for the PD to monitor when someone has tripped the motions sensors to turn on the lights with use, bathrooms will have magnetic locking doors with locking timers, the orientation of the restrooms would have the doors facing east as recommended by Police Chief Salvinski so doors would be visible by cameras located on the existing garage, stainless steel fixtures , a nd Sanborn reported Muskyland Plumbing would be installing all the plumbing. Schaffer presented a Page 5 r ecommendation for approval from the Planning Commission, reporting that no objections were heard at the Planning Commission meeting. This plan is very similar to the two stall public restroom at Riverview Park and neighbors on Third St have been approached with Sanborn receiving all positive responses to the addition of the restrooms. Council had previously approved water and electric service direct from city hall, and the sewer would come from 3rd Street at the expense of the Lions Club. Motion by Schaffer, 2nd by Dumas to accept the recommendation of Planning Commission and grant approval to the Lions Club for their municipal bathroom construction plan at Gremban Park behind City Hall. Carried on a roll call vote, all. i i. Comprehensive Plan: Schaffer presented Planning Commission recommendation.

City of Eagle River\2026 Update\4 14 26 Update.docx PROJECT UPDATE City of Eagle River April 14, 2026 near the swimming beach. Our estimate at the time of the bid was $670,244. The planned project is to include replacement of the pavement and provisions for a sidewalk on the south side of the project. Change Order #1 Added drainage corrections near the end of Mc Faul Lane. GIS UPDATE (R00088098) The City upgraded their GIS apps in 2025 to the latest version of ESRI software called ArcGIS Experience Builder. The City continues to utilize their GIS apps for viewing, tracking maintenance and keeping inventory of City owned streets and utilities. USER AGREEMENT WITH LANDFILL UPDATE (R00088141) MSA will continue to facilitate User Agreement talks between the City of Eagle River and Highway G Landfill. The discussions relating to updating the agreement have paused, because the City is no longer accepting the landfill’s leachate. Additional conversations are anticipated in the coming months. MSA has also periodically shared information with the landfill and their engineer regarding leachate pretreatment. GENERAL WASTEWATER ASSISTANCE UPDATE (R00088143) MSA has provided various technical assistance to the City of Eagle River in recent months:  Most recently we have assisted in evaluation of potential new sites for land application and contacted DNR for updates on permitted fields.  We have identified a backup plan for treating the sludge at a municipal WWTF approximately 1.25 hours away  We are working with staff to identify additional land application sites that might be suitable  We are assembling information pertaining to what steps are needed for getting new land application sites permitted through DNR. MSA and the City have both recently attended trainings and seminars that have provided beneficial information for evaluating new land application sites as well as getting them permitted/approved.  Assist with investigation and feasibility of setting up a temporary dewatering system this summer or fall, producing a cake biosolid, and then land application or landfilling. WDNR INTENT TO APPLY – CLEAN WATER FUND AND SAFE DRINKING WATER LOAN PROGRAMS An ITA was submitted for sewer lining that was part of the Spruce and Third Streets project. An ITA does not obligate the City to proceed with a project. There is no fee for this service. It is important to think about what possible projects could come up in the next year to apply for. This should be looked at like a wish list. Funding changes will happen over the next year, and this is the required first step in using DNR loan and grant programs.

Press releases will be sent to all area media (WRJO, WJFW, Vilas County News Review, Lakeland Times), and a copy will be sent to Pitlik. I will also call Pitlik to make sure they are noticing their truck drivers that a stop sign has been added to the route. See Appendix B for additional information and recommendations from Adam Grassl regarding the Silver Lake Road and Sheridan Street intersection. He completed a detailed assessment of the area, along with further recommendations outlined in the attached letter. Rotary Square – On April 2, Detective Ryan Rossing reported damage and graffiti in one of the bathrooms at Rotary Square. The door appears to have been kicked from the inside with enough force to misalign it, preventing it from closing properly. I asked Det. Rossing to yank the door shut and lock it . Jared from DPW was able to look at the door and seems to have gotten it fixed. Graffiti was also found on the sharps container and changing table. While some of the markings were successfully removed, the sharps container will need to be replaced due to permanent damage. A couple homeless individuals, who were present in the glass portion of the pavilion, were able to provide a general timeline indicating when the restroom was last observed without damage. Detective Rossing does not believe they were involved. He and Officer Ross are currently reviewing available camera footage from Rotary Square to try to identify the responsible party. IT/Phones/Internet – We are continuing to work through the system conversion. Frontier incorrectly configured our static IP addresses, which has delayed several installation components. IT Strategies is scheduled to return on -site April 15 –16 to complete the conversion. A Frontier technician will be present at that time to address any remaining configuration issues. We have also encountered delays with our current Microsoft provider in relinquishing administrative control of our licenses to IT Strategies. I have communicated with them multiple times and established a firm deadline of Friday, April 3 at 8:00 a.m. to complete the necessary actions. If that deadline is not met, we will pursue alternative options. While those options may be less streamlined, I have made it clear that we are prepared to escalate the matter to Microsoft if control of the licenses is not transferred promptly. Departments /Committees/Commissions Golf Course – The new coolers are fully installed. Camtech will meet with the Andersons later this month to walk through the equipment and make sure they know how to operate everything properly. Page 23 2 | Page The kitchen hood and Ansul system cleaning and recharge are scheduled and will be completed this month. Water was turned on in the Clubhouse on March 31. At this point, we’re just watching the weather. Kyle is aiming for an opening in the third week of April, but that will depend on conditions and whether the grounds crew has enough time to finish course cleanup. Planning Commission/Comprehensive Plan – Because of the ice/snow forecast on April 2nd, we cancelled the meeting and will address the items on the agenda in May. Police Department – The PD’s current union contract expires at the end of 2026. Our existing union coordinator, Randy Ingram, is re tiring on July 3 rd, so rather than work with a new rep, we are working on the 2027-2030 ahead of his retirement. Officer Jordan Brault has taken over as Union Rep for the department. I will work with Jordan and Chief Salvinski on a number of items we would like to have clarified in the contract language. We anticipate the new contract to be ready for Council approval no later than June. Public Works – The dumpster has been ordered for our yard waste disposal option. There is a four-week delivery estimate, so it should arrive sometime in April. The website has been updated to notify the public that yard waste dumping will be available May 1 through November 1 annually. With a “normal” winter under our belt, and higher than anticipated fuel prices, DPW has used up over half of its fuel budget for the year. Brad is already anticipating ordering a little less salt for the 2026-27 season, so we may be able to balance the fuel overage with the lower salt order expense. DPW report on the previous month’s activities attached to this report (Appendix A) River Trail Commission – The RTC requested that the WisDOT defer decisions on snow removal to the individual municipalities along the River Trail. They were having a bicycle/pedestrian coordinator’s meeting in late March where the issue was on the agenda. I have not yet received an update as a result of the meeting, and reached out to our contact, Richard Handrick, for an update. Room Tax Commission – The Room Tax Commission will be reviewing Tourism Promotion and Development Grant applications at the April 15 th meeting. We have a full budget of just over $100k to award for 2026, and quite a few applications to compete for funding. This grant program is a great opportunity to transfer some of that money right back into our community. 2026 Projects Ice Rink Shelter – It was noted that the little shelter by our ice rink (behind City Hall) is in need of repair. WPPI will be paying for the materials, and DPW will put in the labor to replace the roof and perform any additional repairs as needed this summer. Page 24 3 | Page MSA – Phil Kriesel has notified me that he will be retiring on May 8 th. Our likely on -site replacement will be John Promer, with whom we worked as the on-site for the Silver Lake Road project. Both Phil and John will be at the April meeting. Safe Streets 4 All Grant (SS4A) – With our lead engineer retiring and my MSA funding contact, Art Bahr, out on medic al leave for the foreseeable future, I felt it would be a good idea to attend an offered SS4A workshop so I can make sure to get the most out of this grant, and not make any mistakes on the process. The workshop wa s on April 7 th in downtown Chicago. I stayed with a relative, and the workshop registration was free. So, the only expense for me to attend this workshop is mileage, train/taxi fare and meals. I will be working with Diane Rowe from MSA on the SS4A grant until Art is back to full time with MSA. The workshop provided a good jump start on what needs to be completed to comply with the grant, and offered a number of resources and coaching options for us to tap into as needed. City Hall Sidewalk , Gutters – In 2024, when we repaved Maple Street, we also installed new curb, gutter and sidewalk. The salt from the winter pocked the new cement (but not the old, which leads me to believe there’s something from with the cement). I reached out to Phil at MSA, and apparently we’re not the only customer experiencing issues with the concrete. He’s reached out to Pitlik, and they will repair the cement this summer. Significant pocking is visible on the sidewalks and gutter. Chipsealing – I’ve released the RFB (request for bid) for the 2026 chipsealing work approved in our capital improvement plan. It will be posted in the newspaper for two weeks and is also posted on the City’s website. Bids are due May 8 th, and they will be on the May agenda for discussion and possible approval. 2026 Street Projects – Phil has notified me that the projects approved on our capital improvement plan for 2026 will be bid out in May. I will be meeting with Phil, John and Brad on April 14 th to review plans and start the process on this year’s street and alley projects. Page 25 4 | Page Appendix A – Public Works Department for March Submitted by Brad Adamovich The month of March brought a few large snowstorm events to the City which required constant monitoring of the streets and sidewalks. The types of precipitation and large temperature variations required utilization of several different techniques to maintain public safety within the City limits. DPW received several sewer calls during the month. Upon investigation and after running the city main sewer lines with the jetting machine, none of the sewer calls were a result of any issues with the municipal main lines. All issues were with privately owned laterals or private sewer systems. The DPW also ran several frozen storm sewer lines that were frozen and were not accepting snow melt/water runoff. Broad overview of DPW work activity during the month: • Maintenance and repairs on plows and snow removal equipment • Plowed and removed snow from roads • Snow blow and shovel the municipal owned sidewalks • Apply sand and salt to roads and sidewalks when necessary • Pushed up snow dump sites after storms • Widened alleyways • Pushed and hauled snow away from intersections for visibility • Widened roadways and intersections • Hauled snow out of municipal parking lots after storms • Sign repairs to damaged road signs; temporary signage installed as necessary • Maintenance on municipal buildings • Picked up animal road kills • Delivered and picked up signage and barricades for events held within the city • Maintenance on sewer jetting machine • Thawed frozen storm sewer lines with jetting machine • Continued trap, neuter, return program of the stray cats • Completed work at golf course clubhouse to help facilitate repairs and updating • Shoveled the roof at the golf course clubhouse • Opened up storm catch basins that were frozen shut to help with road drainage • Made substantial repairs to tandem dump truck suspension • Pushed up loads of road salt into salt shed that were delivered throughout the month • Painted benches from the beach • Installed communication radio in dump truck • Repaired broken ‘Welcome to Eagle River’ sign on 70 west • Began to patch potholes in roadways and sidewalks when weather permitted • Picked up paper products from City Hall and distributed through city owned bathrooms • Began steam cleaning of snowplows, trucks and snow removal equipment Page 26 5 | Page Appendix B – Response to Silver Lake Road Stop Sign (from Adam Grassl) Hi Robin, I believe that the necessity for additional stop signs on Silver Lake Rd - especially at Sheridan St - requires additional consideration. The additional patrolling of the area is very much appreciated (and seems to be somewhat effective), but the one addi tional sign authorized at the last Council meeting is concerning to me. Attached is a thorough assessment I drafted for the City Council to help educate and demonstrate need, should they view the matter as fit for further review. If they or anyone else has questions, I’d be happy to answer them or discuss further.

The damage happened to a pedestal owned by Charter by a snowplow while plowing snow during a large storm. Page 38 STATEMENTS On 2/21/26, I was notified by dispatch about a damage at 150 E Hospital Road in Eagle River, WI. I arrived at the location of the damage and was easily able to locate the damaged facility with the help of the Charter tech. I took photos of the damage and spoke with the Charter tech, who told me a snowplow had hit the ped. I called the Hospital and asked them who does the plowing for the roads and the parking lot in the area of 150 E Hospital Road. The Hospital staff told me the city of Eagle River does the snow removal in this area. I called the Eagle River Department of Public Works, where I spoke with Brad Adamovich, and he told me that, in fact, they do the snow removal for that area, but his guys did not report or were unaware of the damage. I called all other snow removal companies in Eagle River, and they all stated to me that the city does the snow removal in that area. DETERMINATION Based on all the facts gathered and information from the damaging party, I find the City of Eagle River liable for damage to the charter facilities on 150 E Hospital Road. ROOT CAUSE The facility was not properly protected while work was performed 182.0175 Damage to transmission facilities. -(2) Excavator and planner responsibilities. (2) Excavator and planner responsibilities. (a) Planning. Every person who is responsible for the preparation of plans and specifications for nonemergency excavation and every excavator shall do all of the following: 1. Take reasonable action to learn the location of any transmission facilities in and near the area where the excavation is to be conducted. 2. Plan the excavation to avoid to the extent possible interference with transmission facilities in and near the excavation area. (am) Excavation notice. An excavator shall do all of the following: 1. Provide advance notice not less than 3 working days before the start of nonemergency excavation to the one-call system. 2. In an emergency, take all reasonable precautions to avoid to the extent possible interference with existing transmission facilities in and near the excavation area and notify as promptly as possible the owners of transmission facilities which may be affected by the emergency Page 39 excavation. 3. Maintain an estimated minimum clearance of 18 inches between a marking for an unexposed underground transmission facility that is marked under sub. (2m) and the cutting edge or point of any power-operated excavating or earth moving equipment, except as is necessary at the beginning of the excavation process to penetrate and remove the surface layer of pavement. When the underground transmission facility becomes exposed or if the transmission facility is already exposed, the excavator may reduce the clearance to 2 times the known limit of control of the cutting edge or point of the equipment or 12 inches, whichever is greater. 4. Provide a repeat notice to the one-call system if marks are destroyed or covered by excavation site activities, if the excavation does not start within 10 days of the scheduled start date or if excavation is interrupted for more than 10 days.

The city hall clerk and Adam from the DPW even told me they did the snow removal there on the day of the damage."
