PROPOSED OPERATING PLAN
BLACK RIVER FALLS BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
SECTION I. 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 2026.
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 September 7, 2010. 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 BID Board, or designated
organization, 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.
B. Support and build upon programs and activities which encourage people to shop
Downtown.

D. Work with the City, the County, other governmental units and private agencies in

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.

Page 3 of 6
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 2026 OPERATING PLAN AND
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT METHOD
The projects proposed in the 2026 Operating Plan will be funded during the calendar year
2026 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, 2026, 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: / /2025
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.
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
Approved by Common Council: / /2025
Page 5 of 6
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 -2026
The expenditures presented in this 2026 operating plan, all of which will occur in 2026,
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.

Subject: RE: I-94 Sign
Hi Rick
Yes, it is if they have a Historic District that is on the National Register. See the attached policy.
These are type I signs that would be installed on IH 94 and the cost is approximately $20,000 per sign. The City
would be responsible for those costs and maintenance costs.
IF they want to move forward, they would need to fill out the highlighted portions of the request form and section 2
of the STAR form and return those to me. Those forms are attached.
We will also need an official document affirming the National and State designations of the Historic District.
Once I receive these documents, I would contact BTO to start the process of ordering these signs.
