The Main Street Four Points create a comprehensive framework for lasting community change and a thriving downtown. THE MAIN STREET APPROACH Both the Main Street and Connect Communities programs are centered on the Main Street America Four Point Approach to revitalization. By aligning revitalization efforts with the Four Points, participating programs incorporate initiatives that address each of the main drivers of downtown vitality, outlined below: » Organization  Promoting a strong organizational foundation that fosters a welcoming district with a proactive approach community engagement. » Design  Fostering a high-quality sense of place that reflects local history, is pedestrian friendly, welcoming, and visually appealing. » Economic Vitality  Supporting businesses and property owners to maximize economic opportunities and providing a supportive environment for private investment. » Promotion  Branding and marketing the district in the marketplace, telling the story of the district and its history and hosting events to draw consumers to the district. Municipal partners within participating communities, including staff, elected officials and committee members working on downtown-related initiatives are always welcome to take advantage of resources offered through our program.

However, the overarching goal of both programs is real and lasting economic growth. Despite a small geographic footprint, downtowns remain the economic engine of most Wisconsin communities. Additionally, downtowns provide several elements desired by local residents, including a welcoming space for locally-owned businesses, a physical sense of unique history and community, and a central location for gathering and events. Despite representing only 2% of land area, the average downtown includes 6% of property values, 27% of lodging rooms, 16% of businesses, and 21% of restaurant and bar traffic. The concentration of economic activity in a small area often means that a relatively small public investment can reap significant rewards – far greater than a comparable investment in a new development area. Participating districts track critical economic indicators to demonstrate success. - By year 3, 68% of programs achieve positive net business growth. By year 5, 85% of participants have achieved sustained positive business growth. - By year 5, participants report $16 in private spending for every $1 of public funds invested. By year 10, that ratio increases to $23 per public dollar. - In early years, communities average 500 annual hours of volunteer time, while established communities regularly exceed 1,500 annual volunteer hours, valued at nearly $50,000. As one of our longest-tenured programs, Downtown Beloit has witnessed tremendous success and yet continues to grow and evolve. 2352 S Park St Ste 303 Madison, Wisconsin 53713 608.210.6700 wedc.org BENEFITS FOR MUNICIPALITIES Municipalities benefit greatly from having an active revitalization organization operating in the community. Not only do they benefit from a district that boosts property values (and tax revenues), cultivates entrepreneurs that cater to local business needs, and support recruitment and retention of residents in workers, but they also directly benefit from program resources and requirements, including: - Ability to track and record economic, business and performance data over time for the district, including geofencing data and comparable community reports. - Increased presence of meaningful relationships with businesses and property owners, plus the ability to offer numerous tools and resources that directly support business growth, including technical and financial assistance. - Access to tools, resources and case studies related to municipal operations from state and national partners. Examples include ordinance language, policy examples, various program templates and manuals, capital stacks and more. - Eligibility for and data to support various unique grant and loan funding programs for revitalization initiatives. Past examples have included placemaking grants, small business lending programs, and accelerator/incubator funding. - Ability to nominate projects and be recognized for local success stories by WEDC and national partners. - Ability to demonstrate adherence to nationally proven model for revitalization, and potential to be nationally accredited by Main Street America, establishing organizational credibility. The average Main Street program accesses nearly $20,000 in direct services annually and established Connect Communities utilize assistance valued at nearly $10,000 per year.

MOMENT OF INSPIRATION Everyone finds themselves stuck in a rut from time to time. Fortunately, with over 35 years of program success, there are more than a few creative ideas, effective initiatives, and impactful projects to share. Feel free to borrow ideas from some of our past award-winners and grant recipients to bring home.

In some cases, municipalities (or committees) are leading the revitalization effort. In others, BIDs, Chambers, Merchant Groups or other Nonprofits are leading the charge. In either instance, key areas that require municipal support and engagement include: - Enact (and enforce) ordinances that support high quality design and support historic preservation, mixed-use infill development and accommodate public art and placemaking installations. - Invest in, maintain and program public places that make a district welcoming and engaging. Incorporate key pedestrian, bicycle and residential amenities. - Create/Utilize/Promote programs that promote renovation of existing structures to reduce vacancy and attract quality business and residential uses. - Provide supportive funding for revitalization initiatives through direct subsidy/hiring, leveraged private sector engagement or contracts for services. The average downtown organization receives $10,000 in direct support for downtown initiatives which support municipal objectives. - Explore strategies to encourage entrepreneurial and small business activity by providing clear and timely processes for permitting, creating loan and grant funds to incentivize needed investments, and accommodating innovative business models. - Encourage support of revitalization efforts by municipal departments, including valuable in-kind partnerships associated with events and beautification initiatives. Downtown Development staff are happy to chat with municipal staff or elected officials to identify strategies for improving the local business climate or addressing challenges in revitalization using examples from other successful communities. PUBLIC PRIVATE PARNTERSHIP Great places aren’t accidental, but the intentional result of a supportive government infrastructure, investment in quality public sector amenities, and an active private sector. Sheboygan’s Uptown Parklet converts an underutilized public street into a community gathering space. The Vibrant Spaces Grant is one way that WEDC actively supports communities that invest in their central commercial areas, introducing spaces for gathering and programming in locations that drive foot traffic to local small businesses. Business trends and consumer preferences are constantly shifting. A municipality that is open to new ideas and encourages createive thinking sets the stage for businesses to innovate and ultimately thrive in a changing environment. Unexpected sights and experiences make memorable districts that bring people back, and communities that can say ‘yes, if’ instead of ‘no, because’ create an atmosphere of innovation.

Main Street and Connect Communities Elected Official’s Guide AGENDA SUMMARY SHEET MEETING DATE: 7/28/26 TITLE: Memorandum of Agreement Between the City of Waupun and the WI Department of Transportation Regarding Changes in Access to STHH 26 in the City of Waupun AGENDA SECTION: CONSIDERATION-ACTION PRESENTER: Kathy Schlieve, Administrator DEPARTMENT GOAL(S) SUPPORTED (if applicable) FISCAL IMPACT SUMMARY: This has been an open item since creation of TID 4 (established around 2004) that we uncovered in 2017 when we extended infrastructure to open Heritage Ridge. At the time we realized there were a number of items in the draft agreement that were significantly restrictive. Staff have been in ongoing conversation with WI-DOT since that time and have been successful in addressing or gaining flexibility with a number of the items in the draft agreement. Staff will review the major requirements of the agreement. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approve agreement with a final request to reduce speed limit on STH26 near Heritage Ridge and Industrial park development. ATTACHMENTS: Memorandum of Agreement with WI DOT RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve the memorandum of agreement between the City of Waupun and the WI Department of Transportation regarding changes in access to STH26 in the City of Waupun with the recommendation that a resolution requesting reduction in speed along this roadway accompany the signed agreement to WI-DOT. Page 1 of 5 MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT between the City of Waupun and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation Regarding Changes in Access to STH 26 in the City of Waupun This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is entered into by and between the City of Waupun (the City) and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (the Department), each a party, together the parties, in order to facilitate a change in access on the east and west sides of STH 26 between USH 151 and Buwalda Drive in the City of Waupun (Access Area). The Access Area also includes the interchange ramps on USH151 to STH26. The Access Area changes are requested by the City in consideration of a proposed development composed of residential, manufacturing/industrial, and commercial lots (Development), and to provide authorization for a new public street connection, Shaler Drive, to STH 26 (Street Connection). This MOA is entered into under Wis. Stats. §§66.0301, 84.01, 84.09, 84.295, and 86.07. WHEREAS the Department manages access on state highways and is required to manage access as directed by state law; and WHEREAS no additional street connections are allowed within the Access Area under prior access purchase, authorizations, and covenant by and with the Department; and WHEREAS the access area is defined as the area from USH 151 to the northern line of section NESE Sec08 T13N R15E and NWSW Sec09 T13N R15E per Project F017-2(53); and WHEREAS access is statutorily controlled through Project 1392-03-29 to the south side of Buwalda Rd; and WHEREAS the City wants to change the current access to provide for additional and continued development adjacent to the Access Area; and WHEREAS the Department recognizes the potential for and probability of additional future subdividing and development of land near the Access Area; and WHEREAS in analyzing and allowing any access to a state highway, the Department must comply with its obligations to protect the safety of the travelling public and to protect the investment of the Department of Wisconsin in its highways; and WHEREAS the Department must determine an access change is in the public interest regarding support of economic development and continued management of access resulting in safe and operational highways; and WHEREAS an MOA between the City and the Department establishes requirements, commitments, and agreements for the requested street connection; and WHEREAS any changes in access require the City to follow applicable state procedures. Page 2 of 5 NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following: 1. Street Connections a. The City and the Department agree that certain changes to highway access are beneficial for orderly land development and are in harmony with protecting the safety of the traveling public and the investment of the State in its highways. The City and the Department agree to cooperate toward a long-term goal of relocating private access points within the Access Area to local public streets. b. Lands west of STH 26 (excluding Parcel 292-1315-0844-001) are located within the Town of Chester. The City hopes to annex and develop these lands in the future. c. As lands west of STH 26 are annexed into the City, Milligan Rd will be disconnected from STH 26, due to safety concerns and not meeting spacing guidelines from the USH151 interchange. d. The Department reserves the right to require the City to conduct, at its own expense and by a qualified engineering firm approved by the Department, periodic engineering studies of any of the City’s access points in the Access Area no more frequently than every two years. In addition, the Department will require the City to prepare an engineering study pursuant to this paragraph if: i. Crash rates associated with any access point within the Access Area approaches or meets statewide crash rates for this type of roadway facility as determined by the Department; or ii. Any access point in the Access Area regularly contributes to queuing of vehicles onto USH 151 ramps. iii. We have tried to get them to address speed in the area and they are not willing to bend outside their usual process. e. No additional street connections will be allowed within the STH 26 Access Area. 2. Costs a. The City shall be responsible for the following: i. Costs associated with preparing documents required to be submitted for any access change. ii. Costs associated with the construction of all required improvements within Access Area along STH 26 relating to the street connections, including those required to preserve safe and efficient travel along STH 26. b. Nothing in this MOA referencing or resulting in costs that may be incurred by the City is intended to limit the City’s ability to pass those costs on to any developer or other landowners through development agreements, land divisions, improvements, zoning approvals, special assessment proceedings, impact fees, or other legal means. 3. City Responsibilities a. Prior to approval of work within state right-of-way, the City shall provide the Department with a state-type plan set that conforms to state specifications. The City shall provide oversight of construction through a consultant who has previously done construction oversight for the Department. b. Prior to issuance of the work on right of way permit associated with any access change, preparation and execution of a Maintenance Agreement between the City and the Department will be required to account for all maintenance activities beyond regular roadway work caused by access improvements. c. The City and the Department agree to relocate private access along Access Control area as opportunities occur. Least restrictive draft we have had – prior drafts required this prior to development occurring. d. The City shall provide interconnectivity to nearby developments through local street connections or other means acceptable to the Department to provide reasonable alternative access in the Page 3 of 5 event the Department requires any access point to STH 26 be altered or closed. This will impact Milligan Road if we continue to develop to the south. e. Preparation and execution of a State Municipal Agreement (SMA) with the appropriate municipality is required to account for all costs associated with this MOA. 4. Zoning Changes The Access Area within City’s access jurisdiction includes multiple single family residential and commercial parcels. In addition to the subdivision approvals required under chapter 236 Wis. Stats., the City agrees that, in the event any of these parcels are re-zoned, they will notify the Department and will not make any access changes for those parcels unless the Department agrees to the same. 5. Additional Provisions a. Parties agree that additional improvements and agreements may be necessary based on further development in the area. The parties will cooperatively review any proposed development and associated traffic generating potential. b. All construction within state right-of-way shall conform to requirements set forth by the Department in the work on right-of-way and state highway connection permit approval process. No construction shall commence prior to issuance of required permits. c. This MOA is limited to the subject matter contained herein and shall not, without written amendment approved by signature of each party to this MOA, be altered or expanded. This MOA may be amended only by written agreement under signature of each party to this MOA. d. City agrees to provide the Department any request for additional development or land divisions prior to approval by City. – this is more favorable that what previously existed where specific timelines and access points were identified. e.

Waupun Utilities is working closely with our insurance company, equipment manufacturers, and engineering partners to determine the most effective and cost-efficient path forward. Our priority remains restoring long-term system reliability while minimizing impacts to our customers. Staff Meeting On June 24, Waupun Utilities staff gathered for a lunch meeting that included department updates, employee recognition, and team celebrations. The meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen communication and collaboration across departments while recognizing employee accomplishments and milestones. Main Street Alley Project The temporary water line is in service, and new electric infrastructure has been installed on the east side of the alley. Hiring Process The hiring process continues for two open positions at Waupun Utilities. Treatment Facilities Employee: First-round interviews were conducted on July 9. Second-round interviews are scheduled for the week of July 13–17. Apprentice Lineworker: First-round interviews are scheduled to begin during the week of July 13–17. These recruitments are an important part of maintaining adequate staffing levels and supporting the long-term operational needs of the utility. Performance Evaluations The Waupun Utilities leadership team has completed annual staff performance evaluations. The evaluation process provided an opportunity to recognize employee accomplishments, discuss individual goals and development opportunities, and reinforce performance expectations while supporting continued employee growth. American Public Power Association National Conference I received a scholarship to attend the American Public Power Association (APPA) National Conference in Boston, which brought together public power leaders from across the country to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the electric utility industry. The conference included educational sessions, industry updates, and networking opportunities focused on maintaining reliable, affordable, and sustainable electric service. Key topics included grid reliability and resiliency, resource adequacy, transmission planning, cybersecurity, load growth driven by large industrial customers and data centers, emerging technologies, and workforce development. Several sessions focused on the evolving energy landscape and strategies public power utilities are using to meet increasing demand while maintaining affordability and reliability. The conference also provided valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and best practices with other public power utilities facing many of the same operational and regulatory challenges as Waupun Utilities. These discussions with peers reinforced the importance of long-term infrastructure planning, investment in system resiliency, employee development, and adapting to changing industry conditions. Overall, the conference provided valuable insights that will help guide future planning and decision-making at Waupun Utilities while strengthening relationships within the national public power community. On July 1, Mike Peters, CEO of WPPI Energy, became Chairman of the American Public Power Association (APPA) Board of Directors. Mike will serve in this prestigious national leadership role for the next year, representing WPPI Energy and its member utilities while helping guide the direction of public power across the country. His appointment is a significant honor for WPPI Energy and its member communities, including Waupun Utilities. This concludes my report for July 2026.

The winds caused approximately 120 customers to lose power. Crews worked throughout the evening to restore power, and service was restored to all customers by approximately 6:30 PM. • On 6/12, at approximately 5:30 PM, the lineman on call responded to a branch on a wire at a residence in the 300-block of McKinley Street. The branch was removed, and the customer did not experience an outage. • On 6/13, at approximately 3:45 PM, the lineman on call responded to a branch on a wire at a residence in the 600-block of S.

No outages were caused by the damage. • On 6/26, at approximately 10:15 AM, the lineman on call responded to a damaged utility pedestal on the corner of Washington Avenue and Wilcox Street. The damage was to a communications company's pedestal, and the company was notified. • On 6/29, at approximately 1:05 PM, the electric crew responded to an outage affecting approximately 390 customers. After investigation, the cause of the outage was determined to have been the operation of the main breaker on the 4 kV side of the Main Substation. The crew restored power to all customers affected in less than 30 minutes. • On 7/7, at approximately 4:15 PM, a lineman was called in at the request of the WPD to investigate potential utility equipment damage resulting from a vehicle accident in the 400- block of E. Jefferson Street. The damage was determined to be to private electrical equipment, and no outages were caused. Development Planning • City of Waupun Alley Project o New poles have been installed in the 300- and 400-blocks. o New conductor has been installed. o The crew continues to coordinate customer cutovers to the new infrastructure. o All underground infrastructure will be installed immediately following the new sewer and water main installations.

Apprentice Position Posting • The position is critical for succession planning within the Electric Department. • Interviews are scheduled for the week of July 13. This concludes my report for the July 2026 WU Commission Meeting. Please contact me at 324-7920 or ovandekolk@waupunutilities.org with any questions or concerns. TO: Waupun Utilities Commissioners FROM: Darren Sytsma DATE: July 13, 2026 SUBJECT: Monthly Operation Report Water Treatment Facility: • Call-In Report A few call-ins relating to Tower #1 cleaning and inspection. • Operations Cummins service was onsite to perform contracted biannual service on the Water Plant generator. USG Water Solutions crew was onsite last week to perform interior cleaning and maintenance on Water Tower #1. Initial reports indicate the interior of Water Tower #1 is in good operating condition. The USG crew will return on July 28 to perform the same maintenance on Water Tower #2. Jeff and I met virtually with the EPA last week to finalize the Cybersecurity Assessment. A completed report is expected soon. Staff met with Strand Engineering to discuss potential siting locations and the future of Well #6 . Municipal Well has been contacted about inspections of Well #2 and #3. Wastewater Treatment Facility: • Call-In Report Several alarms pertaining to the ABNR membranes and operation. • Operations WPPI staff was onsite to install a new router and configure the Bug Tussel internet connection. Waupun Utilities now connects to the internet through two separate providers at two separate buildings. This redundancy ensures that if one provider experiences an outage, the other will keep operations online. Tank draining, cleaning, and inspection activities continue and have only been temporarily halted due to vac truck and personnel availability. Annual preventative maintenance tasks, including oil changes and equipment checks, were completed on key facility equipment to support reliability and longevity. Staff attempted to install replacement Digester #1 mixing pump; however, the crew was unable to isolate the pump due to leaking isolation valves. New valves will be ordered and replaced once the digester has been emptied. • Operations (continued) Interviews were held last week for two individuals for the Water/Wastewater Treatment Facilities Operator – Lead position. A second follow-up interview and final hiring decision are forthcoming. This concludes my report.

TO: Waupun Utilities Commissioners FROM: Matt Geschke DATE: July 13, 2026 SUBJECT: Monthly Operation Report Collection and Distribution Crew Call-In Report • Two call-ins to report this month: o Harris Lift Station: A pump failed and was removed for inspection. Staff found a rag wrapped around the impeller, restricting its operation. The rag was removed, and the pump was reinstalled and returned to normal service. o Customer Water Meter Leak: Staff responded to a reported leaking meter. Upon investigation, it was determined that the home's water piping was not properly secured to the ceiling, causing the weight of the piping to be supported by the meter. The customer was informed of the issue and advised to have the plumbing properly supported. Water Distribution Operations • The temporary water service for the east-side alley reconstruction project has been fully installed, pressure tested, disinfected, and placed into service. All affected customers have been transferred to the temporary water main and will remain on it until the contractor completes installation of the new permanent water main. The project start date has been pushed back to July 13, 2026. Sanitary Sewer Operations • Staff repaired a deteriorating brick sanitary manhole that had caused a sinkhole to develop in the roadway. A salvaged precast manhole from a previous project was installed, providing a cost-effective and permanent repair while restoring the integrity of the roadway. • Bi-annual slow sewer flushing and root cutting of identified sanitary sewer mains were completed. • Staff began the annual sanitary sewer line flushing program • Five trees were brought down by a storm at the wastewater treatment plant. Staff completed the cleanup and removed all storm debris. This concludes my report.

We anticipate the overall case closure rate to increase significantly once July data is complete. Several properties with substantial repair orders were provided up to three months to achieve compliance due to the scope of required work. As these compliance deadlines are reached and follow-up inspections are completed, a substantial number of cases are expected to be closed, resulting in a meaningful increase in the overall closure rate. We also opened new cases in June, which are expected to be closed in August or September.

TIMELINE WHO? • 8-12 Youth of Waupun in grades 9-12 interested in leadership, community service, and involvement in local government. • Either the mayor or administrator would appoint members. • Members will be appointed to one-year terms and may serve up to 4 terms while in high school. • There would be officer positions which would require an interview along with the application process. • There would be an adult present at each meeting. HOW? • The YAC would provide both Youth Recommendations and YAC updates • The YAC would run with a similar format to a Common Council meeting, with the option of public input. • A core value of the YAC is to follow the City of Waupun's ordinances to promote effective governance and long-term success. • The YAC would keep public records. • Funding would be supported by various fundraisers, like Seroogy chocolate bars. WHAT WE’RE ASKING FROM YOU • Approve the creation • Allow the YAC to present recommendations and an annual report to the Common Council • Recognize the YAC as an official advisory committee to the City.
