They also presented ideas and four concepts they had been working on for a branding campaign for the city which included options for elegant, historic and outdoors, simple and modern, and very historic. The committee liked the typography, some of the fonts presented, the use of a feather to represent Native American heritage and had open discussion on the various aspects and expressed the need to preserve the historic value of the community while also bringing our image in to the 21st century. 4. The Committee agreed to continue pursuing the distinctive "B" logo option. There was some concern as to how it would replicate in embroidery so everything could be identified. The Stillings will work on different variations of the logo and present images of how it would look on different applications such as shirts, letterhead, and billboards. There is a process for fine tuning the details of the larger logo when converting it to a smaller graphic for smaller applications while maintaining the integrity of the logo. The logo needs to appeal to young families moving in to the community, to former residents moving back in to the community, and to make current residents proud. 5. The Stillings will work on implementing the ideas discussed at today's meeting and present them at the next meeting. 6. Next meeting was set for Monday, September 15th at 2:00pm. 7.

Commissioners in attendance were Justin Dougherty and Don Mathews. Commissioners Jeff Amo and Jay Eddy were excused. Also present were General Manager Casey Engebretson and Garrett Aleckson (Banner Journal). A motion was made by Commissioner Mathews and seconded by Commissioner Dougherty to approve the minutes from the July 28, 2025 regular meeting. Aye: Lund, Dougherty, and Mathews Motion carried. A motion was made by Commissioner Mathews and seconded by Commissioner Dougherty to approve the accounts payable vouchers; VC #43072; CK #43073 — 43146; EP #100942 — 100945 and #100947 - 100949—Totaling $625,141.72. Aye: Lund, Dougherty, and Mathews Motion Carried. The Commission reviewed the July 2025 arrears. The Commission reviewed the draft electric, water, and sewer budgets. Casey Engebretson stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for contracts effective 1/1/2026 is 2.64%. Other notable items built into the budget were substation/relay testing, engineering, well rehab, UV tank maintenance, and aeration tank cleaning. Casey Engebretson stated that he had a meeting with SEH regarding constructing a well versus a tower. Casey requested a memo from SEH outlining the pros and cons of each and included the memo in the packet. With Commissioners Amo and Eddy being absent from the meeting, Casey suggested this item be tabled so the discussion could take place at a later meeting with all Commissioners present. Casey Engebretson stated that the WVVTP has experienced periodic issues with the standby generator at the plant since it was installed in 2007. An electrical contractor has seen a number of issues with this brand of switchgear and believes changing out the switchgear and reprogramming may fix the issues. A number pieces of equipment have failed over the years due to the generator issue. Casey has asked VVWTP staff to get pricing on replacing the switchgear. Casey Engebretson informed the Commission that new batteries and charger were installed at German Hill substation. The line crew has completed the installation of grounding wires and cable trays. Staff is waiting on delivery of the insulators. Once the insulators are received, staff will install the insulators, bussing, and cabling from the regulators to the subhouse. Casey Engebretson informed the Commission that the power transformers for the Lincoln substation upgrade will likely not be available until Spring of 2026. Staff is working with the engineer to design and construct a storage pad adjacent to Lincoln substation, which will prevent the need to pay for additional crane when the substation project proceeds. Casey Engebretson informed the Commission that the rubber roof on Hydro 3 became detached. An insurance claim has been filed. The insurance company sent an engineer to inspect the roof and are waiting to receive the report. BRFMU IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER Casey Engebretson presented a contribution request from the BRF Rotary Club to the Commission.

Next Meeting: September 29, 2025 @ 3:30 p.m. A motion was made by Commissioner Mathews and seconded by Commissioner Dougherty to adjourn the meeting at 3:53 p.m. Aye: Lund, Dougherty, and Mathews Motion Carried. Casey Engebretson, General Manager comm.mtg.minutes.8.25.2025 BRFMU IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER CITY OF BLACK RIVER FALLS ORDINANCE NO. 897 AN ORDINANCE CREATING CHAPTER 21 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF BLACK RIVER FALLS, JACKSON COUNTY, WISCONSIN RELATING TO SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY The Common Council of the City of Black River Falls, Jackson County, Wisconsin do ordain as follows: Section 1. CHAPTER 21 in the Code of Ordinances of the City of Black River Falls is hereby created to read as follows: CHAPTER 21 21.01 Title. 21.02 Recitals. 21.03 Purpose. 21.04 Definitions. 21.05 Residency restriction. 21.06 Residency restriction exceptions. 21.07 Safety zones. 21.08 Safety zone exceptions. 21.09 Original residency restriction. 21.10 Sale or rental of property for use by sex offenders. 21.11 Enforcement. 21.12 Petition for exemption and appeals. 21.01 Title. This Ordinance shall be entitled the "Sex Offender Residency Ordinance." 21.02 Recitals. The Wisconsin Statutes, including Chapters 940, 944, and 948 thereof, govern the punishment of individuals who commit sex crimes. The Wisconsin Statutes also govern the release into the community of such individuals. The city is responsible to maintain the public health, safety, and welfare and finds that sex offenders have high recidivism rates that threaten the public health, safety, and welfare, especially that of children. The city council has reviewed findings in several studies related to recidivism and risk related to individuals who have committed sex crimes. Those studies include the following: • Center for Sex Offender Management Fact Sheet: What You Need to Know About Sex Offenders. This fact sheet provided information about sex offender recidivism, including that it is estimated that one in every five girls and one in every seven boys are sexually abused by the time they reach adulthood; that one in six adult women and one in 33 adult men experience an attempted or completed sexual assault; that approximately 67 percent of all victims of reported Page 1 of 9 sexual assaults are under age 18 and more than half are under age 12; and that about 12 to 24 percent of sex offenders will re-offend. • U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics—Recidivism of Sex Offenders Released from Prison in 1994. This study found that compared to non-sex offenders released form state prisons, released sex offenders were four times more likely to be re-arrested for a sex crime. • Correctional Service Canada—Forum on Corrections Research. This study of 178 sex offenders released from a maximum -security psychiatric facility found that after an average follow-up of 59 months, 27.5 percent of sex offenders in the study sexually recidivated and 40.4 percent of the sex offenders were arrested, convicted, or returned to a psychiatric facility for a violent offence. • California Research Bureau—The Impact of Residency Restrictions on Sex Offenders and Correctional Management: A Literature Review. This study found that at the time it was written 22 states had enacted some form of residency restriction that prohibits sex offenders from living within a certain distance of schools, daycare centers, or places where children congregate. The least restrictive among them was 500 feet, but distances from 1,000 to 2,500 feet were common. • National Bureau of Economic Research —There Goes the Neighborhood? Estimates of the Impact of Crime Risk on Property Values from Megan's Laws. This study found that the majority of both violent and non-violent offenses take place less than one mile from victims' homes. It also found that prices of homes near sex offenders declined considerably following an offender's arrival in the neighborhood. • An Evaluation of Sex Offender Residency Restrictions in Michigan and Missouri. This study found that while in Michigan, residency restrictions led to a slight increase in recidivism, in Missouri , the reconviction rate declined. • Whereas the Common Council acknowledges that literature on sex offender recidivism, sex offender desistance, and sex offender residency restrictions contains studies which report varying effectiveness of certain strategies. The Common Council intends to use these strategies and studies to best create a regulatory framework which protects the children of the City of Black River Falls yet allows for a constructive and safe assimilation of designated sex offenders into the community. • The Common Council finds that the risk of recidivism decreases over time from the date of the last conviction, especially in circumstances where offenders have community connections, goals, and employment. The Common Council is also aware that absent a domicile clause, the city would have open doors for nonresident sex offender residency when other communities have closed doors, inviting a substantial increase in child sex offender placements, thereby increasing potential negative impacts on the health, safety, welfare, and additional cost to the city and its residents. Studies show increased recidivism rates for offenders who frequently move or do not have established community networks. These studies support maintaining a domicile clause thereby limiting designated offenders with no tier to the community and increasing the likelihood that a designated offender implements appropriate and existing community support while allowing the community to remain intelligently attentive, aware, and provide adequate and appropriate intervention if needed. • The Common Council further acknowledges difficulties and risks associated with designated offenders who are left homeless if reasonable efforts and considerations are not made to enable said individuals to secure proper housing, as long as the need to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public is prioritized. Page 2 of 9 • Accordingly, the Common Council has created this regulatory measure designed to protect the health and safety of the children in the city against the threat posed by certain designated sex offenders. Sex offenders who prey on children represent a substantial danger to victims, target a particularly vulnerable group within the community who are less able to articulate or report abuse, and create a significant impact on law enforcement time and community resources to investigate abuses and mitigate risks. This chapter is also intended to demonstrate the city's resolute goal of protecting children in areas of potential vulnerability and impart the community's confidence by demonstrating safe, productive, and law-abiding behavior while residing within the city. It is the intent of the Common Council that this regulatory scheme is civil and nonpunitive to serve the city's compelling interest to promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and welfare of all citizens of the city. Based on the above studies and other information presented to the Common Council, the Council determines that the restrictions set forth in this section serve the purpose of protecting the public health, safety, and welfare from the risk of recidivism of sex offenders. The Council further determines that the intent and effect of this article is not to banish sex offenders from residing within the city, and careful attention has been given to ensure that there are ample locations for sex offenders to reside within the city in compliance with the requirements of this article. The Council further determines that the opportunity for individualized consideration of the risks and benefits of residency restrictions on a case-by-case basis is the best approach to achieve the purposes of this article and, to that end, this article establishes an "exemption" process by which a sex offender may seek an exemption from its residency restrictions by petition, which is further covered by an appeals process. 21.03 Purpose. The purpose of this article is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare in the City by regulating the residency of sex offenders. 21.04 Definitions. (a) Sex offender.

The designated offender must provide a copy of the signed conditional exemption to the City Administrator's office and the City of Black River Falls Police Department. The designated offender will have fourteen (14) days from the date the written conditional exemption is issued to accept and return a signed copy to the appropriate locations, or the conditional exemption will be deemed as void and the appeal denied by the board.

(h) An exemption or conditional exemption issued by the Chief of Police or his/her designee or the board may be revoked-by the Chief of Police or his/her designee if the designated offender is found to have violated the conditions or there is probable cause to believe the designated offender has committed (an) additional act(s), which had occurred either before or after the exemption or conditional exemption was issued, that would cause a person to be classified as a designated offender. The Chief of Police or his/her designee shall provide written notice to the designated offender that the exemption or conditional exemption has been revoked. This notice shall be deemed properly delivered if sent by either first class mail to the designated offender's last known address or if delivered in person to the designated offender's last known address.

Aptiv (720 Red Iron Road) 1.07 Policy Proposal Overview The Together for Jackson County Kids Coalition is proposing the addition of definitions for smoking and electronic smoking devices to the current city ordinance for Smoke-Free Air. This action will close an enforcement gap. The Problem Current city policy for indoor Smoke-Free air does not include language around vaping or e-cigarettes leaving that unenforceable. As nicotine products evolve, our policies must evolve too. E-cigarettes and vaping devices may look different from traditional tobacco, but they still pose serious health risks-especially when used indoors or around others. Reports show that the aerosol from e-cigarettes contains harmful chemicals like nicotine, ultrafine particles, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds. This is not simply water vapor. It is an aerosol that lingers in the air, affecting everyone nearby. Proposed Definitions Replace definition 15 of "Smoking": "Smoking" means inhaling, exhaling, burning, or carrying any lighted or heated, cigar, cigarette, or pipe, or any other lighted or heated tobacco, nicotine, or plant product intended for inhalation, including hookah and THC, whether natural or synthetic. "Smoking" also includes the use of an electronic smoking device. Add definition: "Electronic smoking device" means any device that may be used to deliver any aerosolized or vaporized substance to the person inhaling from the device, including, but not limited to, an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe, vape pen, or e-hookah. Youth Impact The most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) found that 16% of Jackson County High schoolers currently vape and 36% have ever tried vaping in their lifetime. Vaping is now the most commonly used tobacco product among middle and high school students. When youth see vaping in public places, it reinforces the idea that it is normal and harmless. Other Examples Other communities across the state have already taken this step, recognizing that vaping indoors poses many of the same risks and challenges as smoking. Many counties and municipalities surrounding Black River Falls have strengthened their ordinance, including the City of Eau Claire, City of Altoona, Onalaska, La Crosse County, and Marshfield. This is also in line with ordinance 11.06 prohibiting smoking and vaping in the All- Abilities Park. Relevant Resources American Lung Association. (2017).

The "Be Original" campaign included an opportunity for respondents to share how vaping or nicotine impacts their lives. Here are a few of the responses we received: "I personally do not do either vaping or use nicotine products but being around family can be cumbersome. I find myself avoiding them due to the smell of the products or the second hand effects It can have on my own health. People are getting away using nicotine products in public where smoking years ago was banned. It's become too accepted in buildings. If you don't smoke a cigarette in a building, you shouldn't vape." -Age 29 "Vape has not had a large impact on my life because I used to have a best friend who got into it. It started with vaping and ended with drug addiction. I miss my old friend." -Age 15 "It made me very sad and impacted my friendships and relationships with people." -Age 15 "My dad vapes nearly everywhere. I don't get to see him a lot, but when I do he's often more focused on hitting his vape then spending time with me and my brother." -Age 16 "It hasn't affected me however my mom and dad became addicted and spent a lot of money." - Age 17 "It ruined my friendships, my sports careers and made me depressed so I quit." - Age 19 "Vaping and nicotine impacts my everyday life" - Age 20 "It is something always being talked about from kids trying to get you to do it and from school trying to get it to stop. Vapes are something you see at a lot of stores so it is always being shown to get you even at a young age." - Age 14 wJACKSON COUNTY Together For Jackson County Kids, a county-wide partnership of youth- serving organizations, is committed to enhancing community wellness by promoting positive values and choices.
