Regional Prosperity Hub Addressing Complex Challenges Together Current State Several factors make this moment important:  Regional economic momentum  Opportunity for regional alignment and partnership  Clear housing, workforce and community health challenges  Staffing capacity and financial sustainability risks  Proven national models for regional collaboration The Opportunity: Regional Prosperity Hub Partnering with the Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation; a backbone organization that sharpens focus on top priorities, aligns people and resources through collaboration and ensures disciplined, data-driven action to achieve real results. Regional Challenges Call For Regional Solutions The issues shaping our future do not stop at municipal or county lines:  Housing shortages  Workforce participation and availability  Leadership capacity and development  Community competitiveness  Business competitiveness  Household financial stability  Declining youth wellbeing and future-readiness No single organization or community can solve these alone Building On What Already Works Greater Watertown Community Health Foundation Thrive Economic Development  Proven record of business attraction and retention expertise  Productive industry relationships (utilities, economic development orgs, federal agencies)  Trusted partner to site selectors and developers  Strong working relationship with municipalities  Established subject matter experts on housing  Proven convener  Proven force multiplier and convener  Ability to quickly deploy resources  Strong working relationships in philanthropic sector WHAT THIS MEANS FOR OUR PARTNERSWhat Will Change What Will Not Change Increased financial stability Through increased Foundation support, ThriveED will gain greater staffing, infrastructure and resources. ThriveED remains a separate nonprofit The proposal is not a merger or takeover. Expanded staff capacity Municipalities would have access to more specialized expertise and support. ThriveED’s Board retains authority The Board would continue to govern strategy and priorities. Foundation-employed staff The Foundation would serve as employer of record and provide HR, payroll, benefits. Municipal participation remains essential Foundation support would complement, not replace, local involvement. Shared operational support Accounting, technology, administrative assistance and other internal functions strengthened. Local priorities still guide the work Communities would continue to shape programs and initiatives. Updated committee structure A new Public Sector Committee will create a forum for municipal input. Core services continue Business retention, attraction, expansion and community development remain central. A broader regional service model Upon approval, ThriveED’s work would expand from its current Jefferson County-centered structure toward a regional model serving Jefferson and Dodge counties. The intent is to create greater capacity, expertise and influence while continuing to provide community-level economic development support. Existing resources will not be redirected elsewhere The purpose of adding regional capacity is to expand the total resources available, not to shift existing Jefferson County service to another county. Expectations for each participating county and municipality will be clearly defined. The goal is to change how ThriveED is supported, not why ThriveED exists What This Means for our Partners Organizational Chart: ThriveED Staffing Structure ThriveED Letter of Support “This proposal is intended to continue and strengthen the public-private partnership model that has been highly regarded and central to ThriveED’s success over the past decade. The collaboration among municipalities, Jefferson County, private investors and economic development professionals has created shared ownership, credibility and results. A partnership with the Foundation would add capacity and stability to that existing model, not replace it with a different one. ” - ThriveED Board of Directors • Counties continue to participate at $1.50 per resident. • Municipalities participate at a reduced rate of $1.00 per resident. • Shift to a Fee-for-Service Model for nontraditional services.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Common Council of the City of Waterloo, Wisconsin, as follows: Section 1. Establishment of Infrastructure Reserve Fund There is hereby established a dedicated Infrastructure Reserve Fund of the City of Waterloo, Wisconsin, which shall be maintained as a separate municipal fund or assigned reserve account as determined appropriate by the City Treasurer-Deputy Clerk and consistent with generally accepted governmental accounting practices and applicable Wisconsin law. The fund shall be designated for the purpose of accumulating resources for significant, long-term infrastructure projects and capital improvements. Section 2.

Relationship to Capital Improvement Planning The Infrastructure Reserve Fund shall be incorporated into the City's long-range capital improvement planning process. When preparing or updating the City's Capital Improvement Plan, City staff shall identify anticipated infrastructure projects and may identify the Infrastructure Reserve Fund as a potential funding source. The existence of funds in the Infrastructure Reserve Fund shall not obligate the City to undertake any particular project. Section 7. Investment of Funds Funds held in the Infrastructure Reserve Fund shall be invested in accordance with the City's investment policies and applicable Wisconsin law. Any interest or investment earnings attributable to the Infrastructure Reserve Fund shall remain in the fund unless otherwise directed by the Common Council. Section 8.

The Infrastructure Reserve Fund shall be reported separately or otherwise clearly identified in the City's financial records and annual financial reporting. Section 9. No Automatic Expenditure Authority Establishment of the Infrastructure Reserve Fund does not constitute authorization to spend the funds contained therein. All expenditures shall remain subject to the City's annual budget, applicable budget amendments, purchasing requirements, and approval requirements established by Wisconsin law and City ordinance or policy. Section 10. Review of Policy The Common Council shall review the Infrastructure Reserve Fund policy periodically, and at least every five years, to determine whether the funding mechanism, reserve target, eligible uses, and transfer procedures remain appropriate for the City's financial condition and infrastructure needs.

Jensen will complete the project as soon as possible but no later than one year from the date of acceptance by the customer of this proposal (“Acceptance Date”). Upon acceptance by the customer, the proposal becomes an enforceable agreement. If the project is not completed within one year of the Acceptance Date due to customer delays, Jensen will charge the customer a 2% monthly fee based on the “Balance Due” amount to be paid upon completion of the project for the storage of products held. 3. Material Selection: Materials used in the project will be specified in this proposal and, if not specified, the assigned technician will select the materials to be used. 4. Special Order Items: Special order items are non-refundable and non-returnable. The customer is responsible for full payment of these items at the time of the Acceptance Date. If the project is canceled, the customer will need to pick-up the special-order item within 15 business days, or Jensen will dispose of it. 5. Scope of Work and Change Orders: The scope of work is set forth as detailed in this proposal. Any additional work requested by the customer outside the scope of work will be set forth in a written change order signed by the customer, and the change order shall list the additional work, materials, and corresponding charges. 6. Downpayment: Customer shall pay to Jensen the down payment according to the payment terms as described in this proposal. Jensen will not order materials or schedule work until the downpayment amount is paid. Customers may choose to pay more than required downpayment of the proposal amount at their discretion. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the work, unless otherwise specified in writing. If, upon customer request, the project is delayed beyond 120 days after the proposed start date, payment terms will convert to progressive billing, requiring payments as work progresses. 7. Overdue Payments and Enforcement: All outstanding payments are due at project completion, unless otherwise specified in the proposal or an invoice. All overdue balances will incur monthly interest at the rate of 1.5%. In the event Jensen retains legal counsel to enforce the terms and conditions of the accepted proposal, customer shall reimburse Jensen for the actual attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in pursuing such enforcement. 8. Price Validity: Due to fluctuations in the prices of materials and other market conditions, all pricing outlined in this proposal is valid for fourteen (14) days after the proposal date. If the signed proposal and downpayment are not received by Jensen within the 14-day period, this proposal is deemed void. 9. Restocking Fee: A 30% restocking fee applies to cancellations of non-special order materials if customer cancels 30 days after the Acceptance Date. 10. Customer-Supplied Materials: Materials provided by the customer or third parties are not covered under Jensen's warranty. 11. Lien Rights: Customer may request lien waivers from Jensen at, or prior to, the time any payment is made under this proposal. As required by the Wisconsin construction lien law, claimant hereby notifies owner that persons or companies performing, furnishing, or procuring labor, services, materials, plans, or specifications for the  onstruction on owner’s land may have lien rights on owner’s land and buildings if not paid. Those entitled to lien rights, in addition to the undersigned claimant, are those who contract directly with the owner or those who give the owner notice within 60 days after they first perform, furnish, or procure labor, services, materials, plans or  pecifications for the construction. Accordingly, owner probably will receive notices from those who perform, furnish, or procure labor, services, materials, plans, or specifications for the construction, and should give a copy of each notice received to the mortgage lender, if any. Claimant agrees to cooperate with the owner and the owner’s lender, if any, to see that all potential lien claimants are duly paid. 12. Workmanship Guarantee: Jensen guarantees that all work performed will be in a workmanlike manner. 13. Business Hours: All work will be conducted during regular business hours of 7 AM to 4 PM, Monday through Friday (excluding observed Holidays). Additional charges may apply for work performed outside these hours. 14. Delays: Jensen is not liable for delays caused by events beyond its control, including strikes, natural disasters, supply chain issues, and supply shortages. 15. Insurance: The customer is responsible for maintaining appropriate insurance coverage for their property during the project. 16. Time and Material Rate: Time and Material hourly rate is $192, per technician plus any materials used. (Time and Material rates are subject to change without notice) (Example: If concrete is over 4 inches thick or contains re-bar or wire mesh, removal will be billed on a time and material basis.) 17. Right to Cancel: JENSEN PLUMBING HEATING AND AIR, INC. RESERVES THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THIS PROPOSAL AT ANYTIME PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF THE ACCEPTED PROPOSAL. 18.

Freeze Damage and Neglect Exclusion: Damage resulting from freezing conditions, lack of heat, power outages, improper winterization, failure to perform required maintenance, or customer neglect is not covered under the workmanship guarantee or manufacturer warranties. Customer is responsible for proper operation, required maintenance, maintaining adequate heat, and proper winterization at all times, including during periods of vacancy or power interruption. 21. Access and Site Conditions: Customer shall provide safe, unobstructed access to all work areas. Jensen is not responsible for delays, additional charges, or damages resulting from unsafe, restricted, or undisclosed site conditions, including pets, hazardous materials, confined spaces, or structural deficiencies. 22.

Bills outstanding for more than thirty (30) days shall accrue interest at the rate of 1 and 1/2 percent (1.5%) per month.

In order to induce the Developer to undertake the Development on the Development Parcel, the City shall provide to the Developer the following assistance pursuant to section 66.1105 of the Wisconsin Statutes. a. Municipal Revenue Obligation. The City shall provide the Developer with a municipal revenue obligation bond (hereinafter referred to as the “Municipal Revenue Obligation”). Upon completion of the Public Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, an issuance of a certificate of occupancy for all buildings of the Development, the Development Parcel being assessed by the City Assessor at an assessed improvement value for property tax purposes greater than its improvement value as of January 1, 2027, and within forty-five (45) days after Developer’s submittal of a written request to the City for issuance of the Municipal Revenue Obligation, the City shall issue a Municipal Revenue Obligation to the Developer as a development incentive. The Municipal Revenue Obligation shall be payable to Developer in annual installments and solely from tax increment, as that term is defined in Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(2)(h)1, generated by the Development as determined by the City in accordance with Wis. Stat. § 66.1105, (hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Tax Increment”). The Municipal Revenue Obligation shall be in the form incorporated herein as Exhibit C. The City’s obligations under this Section shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: i. The City has no obligation to provide a Municipal Revenue Obligation to Developer unless the Developer has constructed no fewer than ninety-six (96) units of market-rate housing, as described in Exhibit B of this Agreement. ii. The Municipal Revenue Obligation shall provide for payments to the Developer from the City in an amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Excess Tax Increment received by the City for each year in which the Development generates Excess Tax Increment; and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Tax Increment shall be retained by the City. The total cumulative Municipal Revenue Obligation provided by the City as a development incentive to the Developer shall not exceed Two Million Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Five and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($2,470,795.00). Once the City’s cumulative twenty-five percent (25%) share of Excess Tax Increment generates an amount in excess of the City Administrative Costs described in Section 2.a, the City Administrative Costs shall be deemed reimbursed from that share of the Excess Tax Increment and the City will no longer bill the Developer for reimbursement of the City’s Administrative Costs. iii. Any payment on the Municipal Revenue Obligation shall be payable solely from and only to the extent that the City has received, as of such Payment Date (as defined below) and after the date of issuance of the Municipal Revenue Obligation, Excess Tax Increment. Any such Excess Tax Increment shall be appropriated by the City Common Council to payment of the Municipal Revenue Obligation until the earlier of full payment of the Municipal Revenue Obligation or the date upon which the TID is required to terminate in accordance with the Page 4 of 22 Wisconsin Tax Incremental Finance Law (section 66.1105, Wis. Stats.) (hereinafter referred to as the “TID Closure Date”). iv. For purposes of the Municipal Revenue Obligation, a “Payment Date” shall mean November 1 of each year until the earlier of full payment of the Municipal Revenue Obligation or November 1, 2040, which is the final scheduled Payment Date. On each Payment Date, the City shall make a payment on the Municipal Revenue Obligation. In the event that there is no Excess Tax Increment to make a Municipal Revenue Obligation payment to the Developer in any year, it shall not be a default by the City. The City shall have no further obligations to make payments hereunder or under the Municipal Revenue Obligations after the earlier of full payment of the Municipal Revenue Obligation or November 1, 2040, which is the final scheduled Payment Date. v. The City covenants and agrees that the portion of the Excess Tax Increment to be paid to the Developer pursuant to section 3.a.ii. above and held by the City as of a given Payment Date shall not be appropriated for any other use or purpose, if not appropriated for the Municipal Revenue Obligation due as of such Payment Date. The City shall not take any unilateral action to close the TID prior to the TID Closure Date unless the Municipal Revenue Obligation has been paid in full to the Developer. vi. The Developer’s lender may require the Developer to execute a collateral assignment of this Agreement. Such assignment shall require the consent of the City, and the City’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. vii. Neither the Municipal Revenue Obligation nor the Excess Tax Increment shall be used or applied, in whole or in part, to the payment or reimbursement of any real, personal or other property taxes. viii. The Municipal Revenue Obligation payments shall not be included in the computation of the City’s constitutional debt limitation, because the Municipal Revenue Obligation payments are limited and conditional, and no taxes have been or will be levied for its payment or Excess Tax Increment or other taxes pledged to its payment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to change the nature of City’s obligation from a limited and conditional obligation to a general obligation. ix. The City may withhold any disbursements at any time the Developer is not in compliance with any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any amounts withheld by City shall be paid to the Developer at such time as the Developer has come into full compliance with the applicable obligation. 4. Developer Obligations. In addition to the other obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Developer shall be subject to the following obligations: a. Taxes. Upon obtaining possession of the Development Parcel, the Developer shall pay when due, all federal, state and local taxes in connection with the Development Parcel.

Page 5 of 22 c. Tax Status of the Development Parcel. The Development Parcel shall be subject to property taxation and shall not be exempt from property taxation, in full or in part. The Developer shall take all reasonable actions to assure that the Development Parcel shall not be exempt from property taxation, in full or in part, except as required by law. The Developer shall not submit any request or application for property tax exemption of the Development Parcel, in full or in part, challenge the status of the Development Parcel as fully subject to property taxation, or seek any ruling by a court or any statutory change that would entitle the Development Parcel to exemption, in full or in part. Nothing herein shall be construed as preventing the Developer from challenging the Development Parcel’s assessed value, provided the assessed value is equal to or greater than the Required Value. The Developer shall not knowingly sell, transfer, or assign all or any part of its interest in the Development Parcel, or any portion thereof, to an entity exempt from payment of property taxes under Wisconsin law. The obligations set forth in this Section shall run with the land and be binding upon all successors and assigns, and remain in effect until the TID expires or is terminated, notwithstanding the earlier termination or expiration of this Agreement. 5. Indemnification. The Developer releases from , and covenants and agrees that the City, its governing body members, officers, agents, including the independent contractors, consultants and legal counsel, servants and employees thereof (hereinafter, for purposes of this Section, collectively the “Indemnified Parties”) shall not be liable for, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against any loss or damage to property or any injury to or death of any person occurring at or about or resulting from any defect in the Development or any environmental condition(s) on, in or under the Development Parcel (including but not limited to the presence or release of any hazardous substance or material) or any investigation, monitoring or remediation performed in connection therewith, provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not be effective for any actions of the Indemnified Parties that are not contemplated by this Agreement or which result from negligent or willful acts of the Indemnified Parties in fulfilling the obligations of the City or its agents as set forth under this Agreement.

Assignment of Agreement. T he Developer may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior consent of the City, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
