The Town decided to revisit other areas for consideration as well as updating them to reflect amendments and clarifications to the Wisconsin impact fee laws and updated population projections. The Town hired Stantec to update the needs assessment and impact f ee to comply with current law and current population and growth projections. This data was used to calculate the maximum amount for impact fee rates for the Town. The Town Board, at their discretion, may adopt a lower amount than calculated. In the state of Wisconsin, impact fees can be used for the following public facilities: • Highways, as defined in s. 340.01 (22), • Facilities for collecting and treating sewage, • Facilities for collecting and treating storm and s urface waters, • Facilities for pumping, storing, and distributing water, • Parks, Playground and land for athletic fields • Solid waste and recycling facilities, • Fire protection facilities, • Law enforcement facilities • Emergency medical facilities, and • Libraries. This report updates the impact fees to satisfy the requirements of Wisconsin State Statute §66.0617. The calculations properly allocate the capital costs for the facilities between existing development and n ew development and used as the basis for the recommend ed impact fees. The impact fees imposed shall be increased annually by an inflationary factor to make the fees more equitable in that the amount paid by any new development is approximately equal to the a mount paid in any other year. Fees may be adjusted by the annual increase in an inflation index such as the U.S. Census Bureau Construction Price Index (CPI) for single-family houses under construction or the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index, for the twelve-month period of the prior year, with the adjustment effective January 1 of each year. Table 1: Recommended Impact Fees Recommended Impact Fee Public Works Impact Fee $7,500 Roadway Impact Fee $8,801 TOTAL $16,301 Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Introduction Project Number: 193807569 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction Impact fees are financial contributions imposed by communities to pay for capital improvements within the community, which are necessary to serve or accommod ate new development. State Statutes require that any municipality that imposes impact fees must have a sound basis of analy sis to support the imposed fee. This means that you have accurate data on the Town’s growth patterns and infrastructure needs due to development to provide the information necessary to support the final impact fees. State law requires that impact fees must bear a rational relationship to the need for new, expan ded or improved public facilities. This means that the amount of the impact fee should be based on a reasonable estimate of the demand that a new develo pment will create for public facilities. State law also dictates that impact fees cannot exceed the proportionate share of the capital costs required to serve new development as compared to ex isting development. Each facility must be analyzed to determine the share of the facility that is needed to provide the established service level to the existing development versus the excess facility space that is available to serve new development. The same service level should be applied to both existing and new development when determining if there is a portion of facilities that are needed to provide the desired service level to existing development. The Needs Assessment and associated impact fees mus t meet the following criteria: • Maintain a rational relationship to the need for n ew, expanded or improved public facilities that are required to serve land development. • Cannot exceed the proportionate share of the capit al costs that are required to serve land development, as compared to existing uses of land within the municipality. • Be based upon actual capital costs or reasonable e stimates of capital costs for new, expanded or improved public facilities. • Be reduced to compensate for other capital costs i mposed by the municipality with respect to land development to provide or pay for public facilities, including special assessments, special charges, land dedications or fees in lieu of land dedications under Ch. 236 or any other items of value. • Be reduced to compensate for monies received from the federal or state government specifically to provide or pay for the public facilities for which the impact fees are imposed. • Cannot include amounts necessary to address existi ng deficiencies in public facilities. • Be payable by the developer or the property owner to the municipality in full upon issuance of a building permit by the municipality. • May be held for 8 years after they are collected, or in the case of impact fees that are collected for capital costs related to lift stations or sewage treatment, 10 years from the time collected plus 3 years longer if the municipality finds due to extenuating circumstances or hardship a longer time to hold the impact fees is needed. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Introduction Project Number: 193807569 2 In the state of Wisconsin, impact fees can be used for the following public facilities: • Highways, as defined in s. 340.01 (22), • Facilities for collecting and treating sewage, • Facilities for collecting and treating storm and s urface waters, • Facilities for pumping, storing, and distributing water, • Parks, playgrounds and land for athletic fields, • Solid waste and recycling facilities, • Fire protection facilities, • Law enforcement facilities, • Emergency medical facilities, and • Libraries. 1.2 Background The Town of River Falls is expecting population growth and commercial and industrial development in th e future. The existing Needs Assessment was last updated in 2006 for the purpose of purchasing land for a new Town shop. This endeavor has been completed. Th e Town expects that growth pressures will continue given the proximity to the City of River Falls and the Twin Cities metropolitan area. This pattern of growth will continue to place additional stress on the existing town facilities, including the town shop (public works facility) and roadways. As the cost of providing services and infrastructure continues to increase along with the pressure to control property taxes, impact fees provide an equitable means for both existing and new development t o pay for portions of public infrastructure projects. Wisconsin Statutes 66.0617 with revisions from 20 05 Wisconsin Act 477, 2005 Wisconsin Act 203, and 2007 Wisconsin Act 44 allows local governments to charge impact fees for public improvements. These fees can be used to recover costs to construct, expand, or improve public facilities necessary to accommodate land development and to maintain current levels of service within the Town. The Town has retained Stantec to update the Public Facilities Needs Assessment and Impact Fees. The study included evaluating a Public Works Facility and Roadway impact fees. This report updates the impact fees to satisfy the requirements of Wisconsin State Statute §66.0617. The calculations properly allocate the capital costs for the facilities between existing development and n ew development and used as the basis for the recommend ed impact fees. 1.3 Summary Wisconsin impact fee law contains specific requirements for the process of adopting or amending an impact fee ordinance, for determining the amount that can be charged for an impact fee, and for managing and spending impact fee revenues. Impact f ees may only be used to fund capital costs of public facilities, which are defined as the cost to construct, expand or improve public facilities. Eligible costs may include land, legal, planning, engineering and design costs. The amounts calculated in this report are the maximum amounts that may be charged for impact fees. The Town Board, at their Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Introduction Project Number: 193807569 3 discretion, may adopt a lower amount than calculated. The impact fees imposed shall be increased annually by an inflationary factor to make the fees more equitable in that the amount paid by any new development is approximately equal to the amount pa id in any other year. Fees may be adjusted by the annual increase in an inflation index such as the U.S. Census Bureau Construction Price Index (CPI) fo r single-family houses under construction or the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index, for th e twelve-month period of the prior year, with the adjustment effective January 1 of each year. Impact fees may not be used for operation and maintenance costs or to correct existing deficiencies in the public facilities for which they are imposed. Existing deficiencies may include: • Facilities or portions of facilities that need to be replaced due to age or obsolescence. • Improvements made to existing facilities to meet s tate or federal requirements or utilize improved technology. • Facilities or portions of facilities that result i n an improved design standard, or the difference between the future design standard, as it would apply to current population, and the actual existing facility. The impact fee will be based on Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Thus, the fee relates to the “ impact ” each user has on the public infrastructure system. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Population and Projected Growth Analysis Project Number: 193807569 4 2 Population and Projected Growth Analysis 2.1 Introduction An important element in determining appropriate impact fees is projecting the amount of future development that will occur in the Town during the selected planning period. These projections are important for planning for the facilities needed to serve new development as well as calculating the proportionate cost of facilities per unit of development. The 2020 Census data and projection data through the Wisconsin Department of Administration (WiDOA) is available. This information will be used as a basis for the analysis; however, current population projection does not follow the trend seen in the final 2025 estimate and the number of building permits received by the Town over the past 5 years. We have found that state projections don’t always reflect what local knowledge might know. Table 2 shows popu lation and household population from the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau along with the 0.90% increase pe r the final 2025 estimate per the WiDOA. Table 2: Population and Housing Projections 2020 Population 2,215 2020 Households (Per Comp Plan 2021 Housing count) 864 2025 Final Estimate 1 2,235 2030 Projected Population 1 (With 0.90% increase) 2,255 2030 Projected Households 2 (With 0.90% increase) 881 2020-2030 Additional Population (2,255-2,215) 40 2020-2030 Additional Households (881-864) 17 2040 Projected Population (With 0.90% increase) 2,2 95 2040 Projected Households 2 (With 0.90% increase) 896 2020-2040 Additional Population (2,295-2,215) 80 2020-2040 Additional Households (896-864) 32 2050 Projected Population (With 0.90% increase) 2,3 35 2050 Projected Households 2 (With 0.90% increase) 912 2020-2050 Additional Population (2,335-2,215) 120 2020-2050 Additional Households (912-864) 48 1 The final 2025 estimate is a 0.90% increase vs. the calculated 4.7% decrease per Census estimates. 2 Housing projections calculated based on the estimation of 2.56 people per household as per current conditions; however, this is higher than the state average of 2.39 to 2.43 people per household. These projections are important for planning for the facilities needed to serve new development as well as calculating the proportionate cost of facilities per unit of development. Also important is anticipate d commercial/industrial development. Per the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, it does not identify any increas e in commercial/industrial property; however, there exists undeveloped commercial/industrial land. Given the unknown uses and timing, we have not factored i n these properties when performing our analysis. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Population and Projected Growth Analysis Project Number: 193807569 5 If commercial/industrial development including non-profit uses such as churches, schools, and government buildings, does occur, this development will be converted to Equivalent Residential Units (ERU’s) and impact fees should be imposed. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Public Works Facility Needs Assessment Project Number: 193807569 6 3 Public Works Facility Needs Assessment 3.1 Inventory of Existing Conditions and Identification of Future Needs The Town Public Works Department provides road main tenance services to all roads owned by the Town of River Falls. The current public works facility is overcapacity (i.e. equipment does not fit within the buildings) with the current inventory of equipment and vehicles as of 2025. Because there are no natio nal or industry standards for determining appropriate amounts of space for public works vehicles and equipment for a Town of this size, the expansion will be determined by the town. The current Public Works garage, salt shed, and cold storage is approximately 4,000 sf. The Town has started to plan for a public works facility that is anticipated to be 7,000 sf (estimating a 70’x100’ garage). A majority of the town’s public work’s operations will move to the proposed building; therefore, the cost attributed to new development will only be an increase in building size from the existing 4,000 sf to the proposed 7,000 sf. The allocation of future improvements between existing and future development is based on the difference between the current and projected future need. The existing facilities include a 1,550 square foot public works garage, a 950 square foot salt shed, and a 1,500 square foot cold storage building. The 4,000 square feet of existing transportation facilities were able to contain vehicles and equipment in 2020; however, all usable space being allocated towards serving the existing population per the 2020 census and no room for future growth. From 2020 to 2025, additional equipment was purchased and no longer fit within the existing facility. As future development occurs, new space will need to be provided to store the equipment necessary to service a larger area and population. The future facility will provide this space by creating 7,000 square feet of Town garage space. Because the existing population was served with the existing facility through 2020, the new additional space within the facility can be attributed to the needs of future development. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Public Works Facility Needs Assessment Project Number: 193807569 7 3.2 Public Works Facility Impact Fee Anticipating a 4,900 sf (70’x70’) building and the existing population’s need for 4,000 sf of space, the remaining 900 sf would be attributed to new development. The calculations below reflect the impact on new development. Total Size/Cost of the Public Works Facility: 7, 000 sf x $120/sf = $840,000 Minus Existing Population’s Portion: 4,000 sf x $120/sf = $480,000 TOTAL SIZE/COST ATTRIBUTED TO NEW DEVELOPMENT: 3 ,000 sf x $120/sf = $360,000 Table 3: Public Works Facility Impact Fee Total Estimated Expansion Cost $360 ,000 2020-2050 Additional Residential Units 48 Impact Fee per REU $ 7,500 The impact fee for the public works facility is $7,500 per residential unit. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Roadway Needs Assessment Project Number: 193807569 8 4 Roadway Needs Assessment 4.1 Inventory of Existing Conditions and Identification of Future Needs A transportation plan is incorporated into the Town of River Falls’s Comprehensive Plan. It shows all existing roads and their proposed functional classifications. The functional classification of a roadway is based on the standard guidelines of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Facilities Developmen t Manual (FDM). All roads within the town that are eligible for impact fees are currently classified as local roadways. To safely accommodate the projected increased traffic and provide a reasonable level of service, the roadways may need to be expanded in width, depth of road section or addition of turn lanes. The proposed roads are listed below; however, please no te that this list of roadways is not meant to be exclusive. Development may occur along other roadwa ys within the Town which may require the improvement of those roadways to accommodate new development. Any impact fees ultimately approved by ordinance passed by the Town Board based on this Needs Assessment shall therefore also apply to development along any such unlisted roadways. The p roposed roads are: • 690 th Avenue from CTH E to 950th St (1.97 miles) • 830 th Avenue from 850 th Street to 770 th St (0.84 miles) • 850 th Street from STH 29 to 830 th Ave (0.42 miles) Based on current traffic volumes, the existing Town roads are adequate to meet the current traffic levels. However, additional traffic generated by expected growth will affect the level of service and traffic patterns of these roadways. Therefore, improvements to these roadways will be necessary to adequately serve the increase in traffic caused by new development. For cost estimating purposes, we anticipated the widening of the roadways by 2 feet. This is consistent Trans 204 width requirement for increased traff ic. 4.2 Roadway Impact Fee Roadway impact fees for residential development are imposed on each new residential unit, or residential equivalent unit (REU) based on a typical trip generation rate for single family homes. If denser housing such as duplexes, townhomes, apartments, etc. or co mmercial/industrial development does occur, associated typical trip generation rates for each of those uses are assigned Cost estimates have been prepared to expand roads f rom current road width by 2 feet. Other improvements such as an increase in asphalt depth a nd/or turn lanes could also be considered when determining the correct application required. The cost estimates are based on recent bids for roadway reconstruction projects in western Wisconsin. The i mpact fees are spread over the anticipated life of 30- years for a roadway. The impact fee for roads is shown below. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Roadway Needs Assessment Project Number: 193807569 9 Table 4: Roadway Impact Fee Total Estimated Expansion Cost $422,491 2020-2050 Additional Residential Units 48 Impact Fee per REU $ 8,801 The impact fee for Roadways is recommended to be $8,801 per Residential ERU. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Recommended Fees and Implementation Project Number: 193807569 10 5 Recommended Fees and Implementation 5.1 Summary The purpose of this study was to analyze and update the impact fees for the Town of River Falls. The report fulfills the public facilities needs assessment procedural requirement under Wisconsin Statutes §66.0617. In order to determine the appropriate amount of the fees, the following analysis was carried out: • Population and housing projections were reviewed a nd determined based on the 2020 Census data and the 2025 Estimated Population along with Town knowledge of building permits over the past 5 years. • Existing Public Works Facility inventory and capac ity versus the proposed facility size erroring on the small size. • Review of roadway improvements where development i s anticipated. • Costs of recommended projects allocated to the pro portionate share of facilities that are needed to serve new development over a 30-year planning period. • Fees were calculated based on the analysis in the previous steps. 5.2 Recommended Impact Fee Schedule Based on the analyses described above, this study recommends that the Town revise its impact fee ordinance and impose impact fees for facilities as shown in the table below. These amounts recommend the maximum amount that the Town could impose, base d on the application of Wisconsin Statutes 66.0617. The Town may choose to impose a lesser amo unt as a matter of policy. Table 5: Recommended Impact Fees Equiv. Residential Unit (ERU) Public Works Facility Impact Fee $7,500 Roadway Impact Fee $8,801 TOTAL $16,301 Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Recommended Fees and Implementation Project Number: 193807569 11 5.3 Impact on the Availability of Affordable Housing One of the requirements of Wisconsin Statute §66.0617 is to estimate the cumulative effect of all proposed and existing impact fees on the availability of affordable housing within the municipality. Although the fees are similar to the fees from the previous needs assessment, they may have an effect on affordability to those in the low-income brackets. The Town may wish to reduce or waive the impact fees for those units that can prove low-income benefit. Per Table 5, the total impact fee for each REU is $16,301. The following table outlines the effect of this fee on affordable housing based on a mortgage for a median home value in River Falls of $375,000 and a median household income of $78,078, assuming the en tire cost of the fees is added to the home price. For a 30-year mortgage at 7.5% interest rate, adding the impact fee results in roughly 1.8 percent increase of household income that goes towards housing – from 52.2% of median household income to 54.0% of median household income. For lower cost h ousing and lower income households, the fees would be a proportionally larger share of the home price and the household income. See calculations i n the following table. Table 6: Effect of Impact Fee on Affordable Housing Median House Value $375 ,000 Median Household Income $78,078 Annual Cost of Housing: Annual Mortgage Payment $31, 752 30 years @ 7.5 % Estimated Property Taxes $7,000 Estimated Insurance $2, 000 Total Payment $40,752 Proposed Impact Fee $16,301 Median Housing Value + Impact Fee $391,301 Annual Mortgage Payment w/Impact Fee $33,132 30 years @ 7.5 % Total Payment incl taxes and insurance (T/I) $42,132 Mortgage Payment as % of Income 52.2 % Mortgage Payment + impact fee as % of income 54.0 % Increase in % of income for housing 1. 8% Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Recommended Fees and Implementation Project Number: 193807569 12 5.4 Enacting the Impact Fee Ordinance Prior to amending a local ordinance to update impact fees on new development, a municipality must comply with the following procedural requirements: 1. Prepare a needs assessment for the public facili ties for which it is anticipated that impact fees may be imposed. The public facilities needs assessm ent shall include the following: a. An inventory of existing public facilities, incl uding identification of any existing deficiencies in those public facilities, for which it is anticipated that an impact fee may be imposed. b. An identification of new, improved or expanded p ublic facilities that will be required because of new development, or the identification of excess capacity in existing public facilities that are used by new development. This shall be based upon an explicit level of service and standards. c. A detailed estimate of the capital costs of prov iding or constructing the new, improved or expanded public facilities, including an estimate of the cumulative effect of all proposed and existing impact fees on the availability of affordable housing within the municipality. 2. Hold a public hearing prior to enacting or amend ing an ordinance to impose impact fees. The public facilities needs assessment must be available for public review for at least 20 days before the date of the hearing. To implement the recommendations contained in this report and amend the impact fee ordinance in the Town of River Falls, the following remaining steps must be taken: • Present the findings of this report to the Town Bo ard. • Revise the existing impact fee ordinance to includ e the recommended changes to the impact fees. • Publish a Class 1 notice in the Town newspaper pri or to the public hearing as required under Wisconsin Statutes §66.0617(3). The needs assessmen t must be available for public inspection and copying at least 20 days prior to the public hearing as required under Wisconsin Statutes §66.0617(4)(b). • Conduct a public hearing prior to amending the imp act fee ordinance. • After the public hearing, the Town Board may adopt the amended impact fee ordinance as recommended or adopt it with additional amendments. 5.5 Imposition and Collection of Fees Impact fees may be imposed when a building permit is requested for developing land, where development is defined as the creation of additional residential dwelling units or nonresidential uses that create the need for new, expanded or improved public facilities. In other words, development can mean the construction of a new residential or nonresidential building, or the expansion or remodeling of an existing residential or non-residential building that results in a use that requires a higher demand for public services than the previous use. Needs Assessment and Impact Fee Update Recommended Fees and Implementation Project Number: 193807569 13 5.6 Managing Impact Fees Impact fees must be placed into segregated accounts, meaning each type of fee has its own account. The impact fees and any interest earned on the account balance must be expended only for the facilities for which the fees have been imposed. Impact fees may be used to pay directly for project costs or may be used to pay for the debt service on bonds issued to finance a capital project. To ensure that impact fees are not used to pay for more than the proportionate share of capital costs for facilities needed to serve new development, the pub lic facilities needs assessment should be referenced when determining the amount of impact fee revenues to apply to facility funding. If a project is modified from what is detailed in the needs assessment, it may be necessary to review and update the needs assessment and impact fee ordinance. Impact fees that are collected but are not used within 7 years after collection must be refunded to the property owner at the time of refund for which the impact fee was imposed. It is recommended that the Town continue to take the following steps to ensure that impact fees are expended within the statutory time limits and that fees are properly applied to the projects shown in the public facilities needs assessment: • Maintain a spreadsheet or other list of the amount s collected, showing the date paid, tax key, property owner, number of units, fee per unit, and total amount paid for each type of fee. • Maintain a spreadsheet showing the projects funded through impact fees, by type of fee. At a minimum, it should show the year of the project, a brief description, total cost (including construction and legal, engineering, etc), the amount cash financed from impact fees, the amount borrowed, a debt service schedule and the share of debt service to be paid from impact fees. Ideally, this spreadsheet would also be linked to a sheet showing the balance of impact fee funds by account, showing payments made from each impact fee fund for cash financing and debt service payments. 5.7 Periodic Review The impact fees imposed shall be increased annually by an inflationary factor to make the fees more equitable in that the amount paid by any new development is approximately equal to the amount paid in any other year. Fees may be adjusted by the annual increase in an inflation index such as the U.S. Census Bureau Construction Price Index (CPI) for single-family houses under construction or the Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index, fo r the twelve-month period of the prior year, with the adjustment effective January 1 of each year. The impact fees calculated in this report were based on numerous assumptions and forecasts about future development and service levels provided by the Town. The exact specifications of public facilities’ design and costs may vary from the estimates develo ped through the analysis of this report. Therefore, it is recommended that the impact fees be reviewed on a consistent basis to adjust for changes in inflation, development trends or major changes in project plans, ideally on a schedule of every three to five years.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. ** Hi Jason, I hope the following answers your question: The Fee Schedule is listed below. We know these fees are in the middle of the market. Please convey that these fees are the gross charges. In the medical billing world, we rarely collect our gross charge. Here is how our feed has added up. Through October, Allina has billed out $6,329,670 in charges, and those charges have been reduced by payors such as Medicare and Medicaid by $4,199,947, leaving $2,129,723 in net revenue. That is a 33.6-cent return for every dollar billed. Our net revenue was reduced further by $207,265 for bad debt. The revenue does not include the per capita fee, grant dollars, or some intercompany dollars we get for helping Hastings at Regina for Mutual Aid. Once all expenses have been taken, all our revenue is accounted for as of our October Close, the cost center is $23,581 in the positive. However, if we factor in the Capital spent in River Falls over 2025, we are below water by about $100k. This is much better than 2024, where the RF operation was over 500k below water. The per capita increase was essential to help offset these losses. I’m happy to answer any questions regarding our cost structure, wages, and spending. Allina EMS is not profiting from the activity. With the hospital in your community, we are a health system that looks at more than one area of performance to support our community. This is a strong level of support, and we are unwavering in that commitment. Ambulance fees: Emergency 911 paramedic level response and transport - $2,890. Mileage is $49.86. Average actual collection is $280–$490 for governmental payors (we can’t bill the patient for the remaining balance). Non-emergent paramedic level response and transport is $1,870. These would involve moving a patient requiring a higher level of care from River Falls Hospital to United Hospital or another definitive care location. Mileage charge is $ 27.54 I have a list of charges for other, less common services if you would like them, such as basic life support transport (two EMT staff, no paramedic), critical care, and high-acuity advanced-level treatments on a 911 call. What’s driving cost increases? Poor reimbursements across all areas of healthcare. Bad debt, capitated payments, mandatory write-offs, and high patient deductibles resulting in bad debt. A new, fully equipped ambulance costs $340k and is expensive to maintain. Benefit costs are an additional 30% over salaries, and we’re competing with the MN metro wage market. Our EMT and Paramedic staff are well paid! Regarding Troy, yes, we have a final document for them, and the per capita fee is $25. The number of those in the area has decreased since 2024, as the dividing line between our and Lakeview’s operations has changed. The document is awaiting final legal review. The document is identical to our agreement with River Falls. It does not change our operation in any manner as we operate today. We are not posting an ambulance in Troy; instead, we are operating the entire response area as one, just as we have today. I hope this helps answer your questions. Again, I would be happy to meet with any of your or the township's elected officials. Best wishes, Kevin Miller Director of Operations Allina Health, EMS 651-328-0071 Cell AGREEMENT FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE THIS AGREEMENT FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE (“Agreement”), is made and entered into effective the 1st day of January, 2026, by and between the City of River Falls, a Wisconsin municipal corporation (“City”), and the Town of River Falls, Wisconsin (“Town”). WHEREAS, the City, through the contracting of a non-governmental emergency medical services organization (“EMS Contractor”), provides an emergency medical ambulance service in the City; and WHEREAS, the Town wish es to contract with the City to ensure the provision of ambulance services to town residents; and WHEREAS, the Town is desirous of receiving emergency medical ambulance services during calendar years 2026-2030 and the Town has an obligation under Section 60.565, Wisconsin Statutes, to contract for or to operate ambulance service for its residents. Emergency medical ambulance service is understood to be the resources used to deliver medical care and transportation to those with an unpredicted immediate need outside a hospital or other medical facility. NOW, THEREFORE , it is mutually agreed between the parties to this A greement as follows: 1. The EMS Contractor shall, consistent with this Agreement and the agreement between the City and EMS Contractor, provide regular emergency medical ambulance services to the entire geographic area of the Town. 2. This Agreement is effective from the 1 st day of January 2026 through December 31, 2030 (the “Initial Term”). As used in this Agreement, January 1 of a calendar year through December 31 of a calendar year which is part of the Term shall be a “Term Year”. 3. The Agreement shall be automatically renewed between the City of River Falls and the Town, for two successive three-year periods (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), except as follows: a. On or before June 30 of the last year of the current Term , the City may provide notice to the Town of its intent not to renew this Agreement. Agreement for Ambulance Service-2026-2030 Page 2 of 5 b. On or before June 30 of the last year of the current Term, the Town may provide notice to the City of its intent not to renew this Agreement. 4. ASSESSMENTS. The Town agrees to assist in funding the ambulance service and agrees to pay an annual per capita assessment for this purpose. The annual per capita assessment shall be determined by the boundaries of the Town’s service area. a. In determining the population for a per capita assessment, annual per capita assessments for a Term Year shall be based upon the latest population estimates of the Town, as of June 1 of the year preceding the Term Year, from the Wisconsin Department of Administration Demographic Service Center, Madison, Wisconsin. Because the entire Town is included in the service area, the total population estimate for the preceding year shall be used in the assessment. b. The annual per capita assessment shall be paid in full on or before March 15 of each Term Year. Failure to pay the assessment in full by March 15 of each Term Year shall result in the assessment of a late payment penalty by the City. The penalty shall be in an amount or percentage established by the City to compensate for administrative and service costs associated with the late payment. The imposition of a penalty shall not relieve the Town of its obligation to pay the full per capita assessment. Continued failure to remit payment, including any penalty, within a reasonable time as determined by the City may result in additional penalties or other remedies available to the City under this Agreement or applicable law. 5. The per capita assessment rate for each Term Year of the Initial Term shall be as follows: a. 2026 Term Year - $16.00 per capita b. 2027 Term Year - $16.60 per capita c. 2028 Term Year - $17.20 per capita d. 2029 Term Year- $17.80 per capita e. 2030 Term Year - $18.40 per capita 6. Per capita rates for each Renewal Term will be provided to the Town prior to March 1 of the last year of the current Term . These rates shall be incorporated into this Agreement for Ambulance Service-2026-2030 Page 3 of 5 Agreement as an addendum. 7. In addition to the per capita assessment, a fee schedule for base runs, mileage, procedures and disposable supplies will be established from time to time by the EMS Contractor, as applicable. In accordance with this fee schedule, individual users of the service within each jurisdiction shall be billed separately for these fee schedule items. 8. All notices and other communications between the Town and the City related to this Agreement shall be in writing and may be given in any of the following ways: (i) by personal delivery, in which case the notice shall be deemed to be given on the date of personal delivery; (ii) by Federal Express or equivalent nationally or regionally recognized courier that issues receipts evidencing delivery, in which case the notice shall be deemed given one day following receipt of such notice by the courier; or (iii) by U.S. mail, in which case the notice shall be deemed given upon posting the notice in the mail .
