INTRODUCTION The following represents the Proposed Operating Plan for the Business Improvement District in the City of Black River Falls, Wisconsin ("City") for the calendar year 2027. The proposed operating plan has been prepared to define the activities of this Business Improvement District. This operating plan complies with the requirements of §66.1109, Wis. Stats., (2015-16) ("BID Statute") which enables the creation and continuation of Business Improvement Districts. It provides a mechanism to assess property owners in the designated area to develop, manage and promote such district. The fiscal year for the BID coincides with the calendar year. This BID Plan was adopted by the City Council of the City, in accordance with the BID Statute. SECTION II. PURPOSE The purpose of this Business Improvement District is to promote the development, redevelopment, maintenance, operation and promotion of the BID, for the economic benefit of all businesses and property owners within the BID, and to continue an organization dedicated to supporting, marketing and developing the City's Downtown Business District. The BID has been created, and this Business Improvement District Plan ("BID Plan"), as a private sector initiative for implementing business recruitment and redevelopment opportunities, to promote the orderly development of the City, and to carry out the economic development strategies in the City's Comprehensive Plan which was adopted May 6, 2025. Carrying out this purpose, and the goals set forth below, shall assist in the overall economic development strategy of the City as identified in such plans. Revitalization and redevelopment in the BID is a key component to the overall master planning and development of the City. SECTION III. GOALS The purpose defined above will be carried out by the BLACK RIVER AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE in accordance with the annual BID — Chamber Downtown Business Partnership Program approved by the BID Board on September 17, 2026, achieving the following objectives: A. Market downtown businesses through sufficiently funded and coordinated programs including, but not limited to, cooperative advertising program or Joint Effort Marketing (JEM) through the Wisconsin Department of Tourism. Approved by Common Council: / /2026 Page 2 of 6 B. Support and build upon programs and activities which encourage people to shop Downtown. C. Develop informational and professional assistance to aid existing downtown businesses and to recruit new businesses. D. Work with the City, the County, other governmental units and private agencies in seeking new programs and grants aimed at strengthening the downtown business community. E. Reevaluate the BID Plan on an annual basis to determine if the goals of the current year's BID Plan were met and whether or not the BID should be continued for the next calendar year. F. Take the assessments identified herein and collected by the City, and apply them to the costs of carrying out this BID Plan. G. Take all further actions needed to carry out the general purposes of this BID Plan as are allowed by the BID Statute. The BID funds will be maintained and controlled by the BID Board which has all powers necessary or convenient to implement this BID Plan. H. Identify and seek grants, low interest loans and/or donations for additional financial support for BID projects and activities. SECION IV. 2027 PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE BID A. Maintain a BID Board to implement this Operating Plan and budget for the BID, or designate the implementation to a responsible organization. B. To identify to the City, and have the City collect, the assessments identified herein, in the manner identified herein, and to maintain records of any expenditures within the District as required by the BID Statute. C. To conduct all activities necessary to carry out the goals identified in this BID Plan, or designate this to a responsible organization. D. To receive a contribution from the City, and from other interested parties, in the amounts shown in Section VI, below, and apply them to carrying out this BID Plan, or disperse those funds to a designated responsible organization. E. To maintain committees as deemed necessary by the BID Board to carry out the BID Plan. Approved by Common Council: / /2026 Page 3 of 6 SECTION V. BID BOARD The BID Board shall consist of 5 members, the majority of which own or occupy real property in the BID. The property owners in the BID may suggest members to the Mayor. The Board members shall be appointed by the Mayor of the City, and confirmed by the City Council, before January 1 of the calendar year for which this Plan is adopted. The duty of the Board shall be to implement the current year's BID Plan. The Board shall fulfill the duties and responsibilities outlined in §66.1109 and comply with all applicable Open Meeting Laws and Open Records Laws. Any member resigning shall be replaced by the Mayor within 60 days of notice from the BID Board, in the same manner as identified above for appointment of members. SECTION VI. METHOD OF FINANCING 2027 OPERATING PLAN AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT METHOD The projects proposed in the 2027 Operating Plan will be funded during the calendar year 2027 through the following: a) The payment of all funds generated by the special assessment process defined in the BID Statute, as applied below (the "BID Assessment") (Approximately $28,000); b) The payment of $7,500.00 from the interest generated from the City's Economic Development Fund, which the City commits to and allocates by adoption of this BID Plan, to be paid by the City to the BID Fund, on or before March 15, 2027, to be applied to the expenditures identified in Section VII, below; c) By application of any other contributions received by the BID Board, and the proceeds of any special grants, or special financing discovered by the BID Board, to the items identified on Exhibit A as "Contingent Expenditures". The BID Assessment is hereby levied by the City, which shall be a lien against each of the tax parcels of real property contained in the BID, unless exempted as identified herein, under the power of §66.0717, Wis. Stats., (2015-16), calculated as follows. The current year's BID Assessment for each parcel of real estate in the BID is as shown on Exhibit B. The BID is divided into Zones as defined below. The BID Assessment was calculated by multiplying the assessed value of each tax parcel of real property, as shown in the official records of the City Assessor on January 1 of the previous year for which the BID Plan is adopted, by the following rates per thousand dollars of valuation, subject to the minimums and caps defined below: A. For Zone 1 $2.50 B. For Zone 2 $2.25 C. For Zone 3 $2.00 D. For Zone 4 $0.00 Approved by Common Council: / /2026 Page 4 of 6 Zone 1 consists of all tax parcels of real estate bordering Main Street. Zone 2 consists of all tax parcels of real estate not bordering on Main Street, but bordering on a street, which intersects and is adjacent to Main Street. Zone 4 consists of lots that are used solely for residential purposes, vacant lots and parking lots within the BID. Zone 3 consists of all tax parcels in the BID, which is not in Zone 1, Zone 2, or Zone 4. The definition of a tax parcel shall be a parcel of real estate with a separate tax key number on January 1 of the year for which the BID Plan was adopted. The calculation of the assessment, using this per thousand formula, was further adjusted as follows, to acknowledge the differing benefit conferred on each such parcel. Each parcel in Zone 1 has a minimum assessment of $250.00 and a cap of $1500.00 per year. Each parcel in Zone 2 has a minimum assessment of $200.00 and a cap of $1,000.00 per year. Each parcel in Zone 3 has a minimum assessment of $150.00 and a cap of $750.00 per year. The calculation of the assessment was further adjusted for the Cap formula, which follows, to acknowledge the differing benefit conferred on each such parcel. If the calculation of the special assessment using this formula would result in an assessment of more than $1,500.00 ("Cap") for any one tax key number in Zone 1, then the assessment for such tax key number was calculated to be $1,500.00. If the calculation of the special assessment using this formula would result in an assessment of more than $1,000.00 ("Cap") for any one tax key number in Zone 2, then the assessment for such tax key number was calculated to be $1,000.00. If the calculation of the special assessment using this formula would result in an assessment of more then $750.00 ("Cap") for any one tax key number in Zone 3, then the assessment for such tax key number was calculated to be $750.00 If more than one tax key number is owned by the identical entity or person, and is used as one functional unit, the owner of such parcels may apply to the BID Board for a determination that such parcels are effectively one economic unit, and the Cap formula shall apply to such parcels as if they were one tax parcel with one tax key number. Such BID Assessments are special assessments, which are hereby levied by the City by adoption of this BID Plan. The amount of the BID Assessment shall be given to the City at least 90 days before the commencement of the year for which the new BID Plan is adopted, and the City shall insert the amount of the BID Assessment on the tax bill for each tax parcel in the BID. The BID Assessment shall then be due with the first installment of real estate taxes, and shall carry the same penalties and interest if not so paid. The City shall collect such BID Assessments. While the City is holding such BID Assessment funds, they shall be held in a segregated account. The City shall release funds as approved by the BID Board. Approved by Common Council: / /2026 Page 5 of 6 BID Assessments will be levied against all parcels of real property in the BID, except that property used exclusively for residential purposes shall not be assessed. All parcels of real property within the BID are located within the City's boundaries. Property used exclusively for manufacturing purposes will be subject to BID Assessments. All interest earned by virtue of temporary investment of funds in the City's BID account, shall remain in the account for activities delineated on the approved BID Operating Plan. SECTION VII. EXPENDITURES -2027 The expenditures presented in this 2027 operating plan, all of which will occur in 2027, and in, or for the benefit of the BID, are as shown on Exhibit A. Certain of those expenditures are defined as "Contingent Expenditures" which shall only be incurred if funds are received by the BID Board as defined in paragraph c of Section VI, above. SECTION VIII. GENERAL The BID is within the City, and is composed of contiguous parcels subject to general real estate taxes. Parcels of property located within the boundaries of the BID not subject to general real estate taxes, on January 1 of the previous year for which the BID Plan is adopted by the City Council are hereby excluded from the BID by definition, and are not assessed. The BID Board, or designated organization, shall prepare and present to the Common Council each year, as required by the BID Statute and no later than October 1St, an annual report describing the current status of the BID, including the following: current year-to- date expenditures and revenues, an accounting of funds previously expended, a reviewed financial statement for the most recently completed fiscal year which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include a review of the financial statement by an independent certified public accountant, a proposed budget and Operating Plan for the following calendar year containing such amendments as they feel are proper, and recommendations for any seats on the BID Board becoming vacant. Approved by Common Council: _/ /2026 Page 6 of 6 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP BLACK RIVER AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE BID-Chamber Downtown Business Partnership One -Year Pilot Proposal for Downtown Business Membership and Services Presented to Presented by Proposed term Annual request (Approx) City of Black River Falls Business Improvement District Board Black River Area Chamber of Commerce One-year pilot beginning in 2027 $14,875 for 65 identified BID businesses Recommendation: Approve development of a one-year service agreement under which the BID funds standard Chamber memberships for all eligible businesses physically located within the district, including businesses that are already members. Executive Summary The Black River Area Chamber of Commerce proposes an annual partnership with the City of Black River Falls Business Improvement District (BID) that would extend Chamber membership and defined business-support services to every eligible business physically located within the BID boundaries. The reconciled BID roster identifies 65 business memberships. Eighteen are current Chamber members with annual dues totaling $4,765. Providing standard memberships to all 65 businesses would cost $14,875 per year. The expansion therefore adds 47 memberships and $10,110 beyond the value of the memberships already being purchased independently. The proposal is best structured as a Downtown Business Services / Chamber Partnership rather than as a simple reimbursement of dues. The BID would purchase a defined package of membership access, communications, business engagement, downtown committee support and annual reporting. The BID Board would retain authority over BID priorities and funding. Black River Area Chamber of Commerce I 1 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP The Opportunity Since the former downtown association dissolved, downtown businesses have lacked a dedicated organization that consistently connects merchants, service businesses, property stakeholders, the BID Board, City government and the wider business community. Creating another standalone organization would require new administration, finances, insurance, governance, communications and volunteer capacity. The Chamber already maintains the business network, staff support, directory, newsletters, events, referral activity, Chamber Bucks program and promotional infrastructure needed to serve these businesses. A service partnership would put that existing capacity to work for the district while creating a structured downtown voice through a Chamber-supported Downtown Business Committee. Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation guidance recognizes a contract -for -service model in which a BID contracts with an outside organization, including a chamber of commerce, to carry out parts of its operating plan. This proposal follows that practical model while keeping policymaking and BID fund approval with the BID Board. Verified Membership and Cost Analysis The figures below are based on the BID property/membership workbook and the Chamber's 2026 membership form. The workbook's Full column was used as the controlling scenario, consistent with the requested approach. Measure Businesses Annual cost Interpretation Existing annual Current Chamber membership 18 $4,765 membership value Total annual Full BID-wide membership 65 $14,875 partnership request New coverage Expansion +47 +$10,110 created by the partnership Blended annual cost Average across all businesses 65 $228.85 per business Black River Area Chamber of Commerce I 2 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP Budget framing: The proposed annual BID line item is $14,875, not merely the $10,110 incremental amount. Including the 18 current members avoids penalizing businesses that already support the Chamber and gives the BID a complete, equitable district-wide program. The 2026 rate schedule used in the roster includes $215 for Division 1 businesses, $550 for Division 2 institutions, $105 for nonprofit/service organizations and $110 for qualifying secondary businesses. The Full-column calculation applies the standard membership classifications assigned in the workbook. Proposed Partnership Structure 1. Eligibility Membership would be provided to active businesses physically located within the established BID boundaries. Vacant properties would not receive a membership. When multiple active businesses occupy one property, each eligible business would receive the membership level assigned under the Chamber's normal structure. 2. Equal Treatment of Current Members The BID-sponsored program would include the 18 businesses that already belong to the Chamber. Their next membership term would be paid through the partnership rather than billed again. No business would be double billed, and no existing member would be disadvantaged for having joined earlier. 3. Services Every participating business would receive the same core membership benefits available to comparable Chamber members, including: • A business listing and appropriate links in the Chamber's online directory and promotional resources. • Business referrals, advocacy information and access to Chamber communications. • Networking through Business After 5 and other Chamber activities. • Opportunities to submit business news and promotions for Chamber newsletters. • Eligibility to participate in Chamber Bucks, subject to program requirements. • Conference room access, ribbon-cutting support and Ambassador engagement when applicable. • Inclusion in visitor-facing promotional opportunities available to members. Black River Area Chamber of Commerce 1 3 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP 4. Downtown Business Committee The Chamber would organize a Downtown Business Committee open to participating BID businesses, with a BID Board liaison encouraged. The committee would be advisory and could develop recommendations related to downtown promotions, events, beautification, business recruitment, vacancies, signage, customer experience and seasonal activities. Any recommendation requiring BID funding would return to the BID Board for approval. 5. Administration and Reporting The Chamber and BID would reconcile the eligible roster before the agreement begins and establish a process for openings, closures, relocations and ownership changes. The Chamber would provide a year- end report documenting membership coverage, communications, committee activity, participation and defined services delivered. Benefits to the BID • Direct district -wide value. Every active business receives access to a consistent package of business services. • Professional capacity. The BID gains staff support and established systems without creating another organization. • Stronger communication. The partnership creates a dependable channel among downtown businesses, the BID, the City and the wider business community. • Marketing reach. Downtown businesses gain access to existing Chamber directory, newsletter, referral and visitor -facing channels. • Business retention and recruitment. Membership becomes a tangible benefit of locating in the district and connects new businesses quickly. • Accountability. A written agreement and annual report give the Board measurable information before renewal. Benefits to Downtown Businesses • Membership cost is removed as a barrier to participation. • Businesses gain visibility, referrals, communications, networking and promotional opportunities. • Merchants and service businesses receive an organized forum for discussing shared downtown needs. • New and less-connected businesses gain an immediate entry point into the broader business community. • Participation remains voluntary; each business chooses how actively to use the available benefits. Black River Area Chamber of Commerce 14 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP Benefits to the Chamber • More complete representation of the businesses operating in the community's central commercial district. • More accurate business contact information, listings, hours and promotional content. • Greater participation in Chamber programs, events and committees. • A stronger connection between downtown retailers, restaurants and service businesses and the region's financial, industrial, nonprofit, healthcare, lodging and professional sectors. Fairness and Governance This partnership would not give downtown businesses preferential Chamber treatment over members outside the district. The BID would be purchasing services for businesses within its legally established boundaries using funds intended to benefit that district. Businesses outside the BID would continue to purchase membership through the normal structure, and all comparable members would receive the same standard benefits. The Downtown Business Committee would not control BID funds or replace the BID Board. The Board would approve the agreement, annual allocation and any additional projects. City administration and, as appropriate, the City Attorney should review the final agreement and its treatment in the BID operating plan. Recommended One-Year Pilot and Measures A one-year pilot beginning in 2027 would allow the parties to test participation and value before making a longer commitment. Recommended measures include: • 65 eligible memberships activated or updated at the start of the term, subject to final roster verification. • Percentage of BID businesses with complete directory listings and current contact information. • Number of targeted BID communications distributed and businesses reached. • Number of Downtown Business Committee meetings, participating businesses and recommendations advanced. • Participation in Chamber events, newsletters, Chamber Bucks and other programs where measurable. • Business feedback collected near year-end and summarized for the BID Board. Black River Area Chamber of Commerce 1 5 BID-CHAMBER DOWNTOWN BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP Requested Board Action The Black River Area Chamber of Commerce respectfully requests that the BID Board: • Approve the partnership concept for development as a one-year pilot. • Include a $14,875 Downtown Business Services / Chamber Partnership line item in the applicable annual BID operating plan and budget. • Authorize the Chamber, BID representatives and City administration to finalize the eligible business roster and a written service agreement. • Appoint or invite a BID liaison to participate with the Downtown Business Committee. • Review results before deciding whether to renew, modify or discontinue the partnership. Conclusion The BID and Chamber have complementary roles. The BID is focused on the economic vitality and promotion of the district; the Chamber already has the staff, communications, marketing channels and business network needed to support the businesses operating there. For $14,875 annually, the partnership would preserve $4,765 in coverage already valued by 18 current members and extend that coverage to 47 additional businesses. It would give all 65 identified downtown businesses a common connection to business services and a structured downtown forum, while keeping funding authority with the BID Board. This is a practical way to move from isolated downtown projects toward an ongoing system of engagement, communication and business support without recreating a separate downtown organization.
