Adjourn Posted: July 23, 2026 The Common Council met at City Hall in the City of Black River Falls on July 7, 2026 at 6:00 P.M. Alderpersons Busse, Gearing-Lancaster, and Peloquin were present. Alderpersons M. Rave, Dougherty, Wussow, and Ammann attended remotely via Zoom meetings. Alderperson E. Rave was absent. Mayor J. Eddy presided. It was moved by Alderperson Gearing-Lancaster, seconded by Alderperson Wussow to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the June 17, 2026 Special Common Council meeting and approve as presented. Motion carried. CITIZENS IN ATTENDANCE There was one citizen in attendance for an agenda item. COMMITTEE REPORTS It was moved by Alderperson M. Rave, seconded by Alderperson Ammann to place on file the minutes of the June 29, 2026 Utility Commission meeting. Motion carried. Each Council member received a copy of the 2025 Audited Financial Statements, the Auditor's Reporting and Insights from the 2025 Audit, and the 2025 Report on Federal awards — Single Audit. A representative from Baker Tilly will make a presentation of the 2025 audit to the Committee of the Whole on July 15, 2026. Proposals for a Housing Market Study were presented to the Council. Three firms were solicited for a proposal and two responded and both were very comparable. There was a representative from Vierbicher in attendance and there was discussion that included: each proposal would include review and analysis of assisted living, memory care, and other senior living arrangements; review and analysis of homelessness was not included in the scope for this project; this study will be more detailed and in depth than the one completed in 2017 with local stakeholder input and focus groups; timeline would be July start with final presentation in February 2027; funding sources available would be identified; Vierbicher would also be able to potentially point the city to developers in those particular segments; in order to apply for many of the funding programs the City needs to have a housing study and an updated comprehensive plan; Sherri Larson was in attendance and inquired about low income and homeless, whether or not affordable housing or senior housing is being considered and also whether or not local coalitions would be invited to participate as stakeholders in the process; market rate housing is needed to open existing low income housing options in the community; you need the right mix of housing for the entire spectrum to support all levels of the communities demographics and all income ranges; most of Vierbichers' client base are municipalities with populations under 12,000 with many below 5,000 so Black River Falls would be considered an average size community in their client mix. It was moved by Alderperson Peloquin, seconded by Alderperson Busse to accept and approve the Housing Market Study proposal from Vierbicher Associates, Inc at a cost of $37,200.00 with funds to come from the Affordable Housing Fund. Motion carried. There was discussion on a proposal from Make My Move (MMM) for a talent recruitment pilot program that would utilize the work that had already been completed by MMM for the City in preparation for a grant application. The City was not awarded a grant from the WEDC. The discussion included: this would be a 12- month agreement renewable annually; the Black River Falls (BRF) page was built already under the previously approved conditional contract; MMM is offering to run the full talent recruitment program at a pilot rate of $20,000; the program aims to provide nationwide marketing, prove BRF can recruit out-of-state movers, MMM can help those people find BRF, apply, provide strong data points, and then have a strong leg to stand on to apply with the WEDC in their next grant cycle; the WEDC did not provide feedback on the reasons for the grant denial; 15 people have already applied to move through BRF's program on the MMM platform even with the page not being active; there are no caps in the agreement to how many people can move under the program; the process includes the City approving applicants so the City has control over how many incentives are paid out; Alderperson M. Rave raised concerns about justifying the cost per mover without knowing the economic impact and not knowing why we were denied on the grant application; the program will be able to provide ROI and annual economic impact data for the movers; and the incentives are not automatic — the city has to provide the mover with an offer and the mover needs to accept. It was moved by Alderperson Gearing-Lancaster, seconded by Alderperson Peloquin to approve the Service Agreement for a pilot program with Make My Move as presented in the amount of $20,000. Motion carried 6-1 with Alderperson M. Rave voting no. Page 1 of 2 It was moved by Alderperson Busse, seconded by Alderperson Gearing-Lancaster to approve the application for a Temporary Alcohol Beverage License from the Jackson County Ag Society for Wes Fest Fundraiser on July 18, 2026 at the 1400 Tyler Street Upper Shelter.

Any extension to the contract requires a resolution passed by the Utility Commission recommending the approval of the amendment to the City Council, a resolution passed by the City Council approving the amendment, and a legal opinion by the City Attorney stating the amendment to extend has been duly approved and executed on behalf of the member and is enforceable with its terms. WPPI members have extended their contracts multiple times since forming WPPI. The most recent amendment, approved by the City Council in 2015-16, extended BRFMU's member agreement by 18 years and brought the current contract end date to 2055. HISTORY OF WPPI In 1980, BRFMU and 22 other municipal electric utilities founded WPPI Energy to gain control over their power costs in response to rising wholesale rate increases from investor -owned energy suppliers. Today, there are 51 member -owners of WPPI located in Wisconsin, Iowa, and the U.P. of Michigan. These not-for-profit, locally owned utilities deliver meaningful benefits to their customers and communities. REASONS TO EXTEND THE LONG-TERM CONTRACT The revenues from members under the Long-Term Contracts are pledged to secure bonds issued to finance ownership of generating units and transmission assets. Additionally, WPPI routinely seeks other long-term contractual arrangements to allow WPPI to continue to reliably serve members with stable and competitive rates. With the current contract expiring in 2055, less than 30 years remain on these contracts today. Many cost- effective long-term resource planning, financing, and purchased power arrangements have terms exceeding 30 years or more. Extending the member contract end date before addressing long-term financial and contractual opportunities/commitments preserves WPPI's access to arrangements that support lower costs for members. VALUE TO BEING A MEMBER -OWNER OF WPPI In addition to providing BRFMU stable and competitive wholesale electric rates, WPPI advocates on our behalf to governmental and regulatory entities concerning electric industry issues and effective energy policy. Furthermore, WPPI offers industry leading support services to its members, many of which are utilized by BRFMU. The economies of scale through shared services, support, and resources provide exceptional financial and operational value to BRFMU and the customers we serve. For reference, I have included an informational packet on WPPI with this memo. Lastly, the BRFMU Commission passed their resolution at the July 27th meeting. For reference, i have included the executed Commission Resolution and the Common Council Resolution and Amendment for your consideration.

Your previous extension was also 18 years. What if a Member Does Not Extend? The existing agreement continues through 2055. The member would have no rights to WPPI's power supply or services beyond that term.

The first installment will be due upon pickup of the K-9 in late August 2026, allowing time for the handler and K-9 to begin the bonding and socialization process. The second installment will be paid upon successful completion of the three-week handler training course and certification of the K-9 team. The K-9 is a single -purpose narcotics detection dog trained to detect the odors of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl. The K-9 will not receive apprehension or bite training. Instead, the dog will be trained and socialized to interact safely and positively with the public. The handler and K-9 training course is scheduled to begin on September 14, 2026, with a projected completion date of October 2, 2026. The K-9 is a two -year-old Dutch Shepherd that is current on all required vaccinations and veterinary care. The certification course includes both classroom instruction for the handler and daily practical training with the K-9. The purchase and training costs will be paid entirely from existing K-9 program funds, with no impact on the City's general fund. The K-9's name is Kor, and we are excited to welcome Kor as the newest member of the Police Department. This addition will strengthen the department's narcotics detection capabilities while also providing opportunities for positive community engagement.
