Meeting called to order at 7:48 am by Vice-Chair, Sue Vande berg.
Roll call taken. Members present include Vande berg, Ver Hage (online), DeJager, Drews (online), Daute. Absent
and excused, Mayor Bishop and Kunz. Also present, Administrator Schlieve, Assistant Administrator Langenfeld,

No person present for public comment.
Next regularly scheduled CDA meeting is April 21, 2026 at 7:45 am.
Motion DeJager, second Daute to approve Minutes from January 20, 2026 CDA meeting, January 2026 CDA
Financials and February CDA Financials as presented. No further discussion. Carried unanimously.
Motion DeJager, second Daute to extend deadline for 101 Fond du Lac Street (Waupun Taxi) application which has
been delayed by contractor and weather issues until May 31, 2026. Daute notes that the work is in process and it
is looking like a good improvement to the building. Carried unanimously.
Administrator Schlieve discusses the proposed project for 313 E Main Street, home to Radio Plus. Jeff Collien
worked with staff on the submitted application. He plans to replace windows, front door and will complete some
tuckpointing and paint the exterior. Motion DeJager, second VerHage to approve the application for a 50%
match, capped at $5,000. Discussion about the contributions made by Collien to the downtown and the
possibility of providing a larger grant was had. Administrator Schlieve points out that there are limited grant
funds available this year. No further discussion. Motion and second carried unanimously.
Melanie Williams is present as owner of 309 and 311 E Main Street. Melanie is the winner of the Main Street
Makeover Contest, which will provide $10,000 and technical assistance to support a façade makeover.
Administrator Schlieve notes that Melanie is working to secure matching funds right now through the BID and
CDA. Melanie’s project is in the design phase with WEDC and work will be completed over the summer. The
design as shown is an illustration of what Melanie hopes to accomplish with this makeover. Once the final design
is completed by WEDC partners, Willaims will return for final design review. Because this is two buildings, the
request is for $10,000 combined. Motion DeJager, second Daute to approve $10,000 combined for the project
with the contingency that the final design is presented to CDA prior to work commencing. Discussion on limiting
approval until design is approved was had but group consensus was that requiring design approval satisfies this
concern. Carried unanimously.
Administrator Schlieve reports that the Main Street group has determined that they will fully pursue Main St
designation. They will be working with the City on agreements for funding to better leverage BID as well as room
tax funds. Spring Wine Walk is May 1 and ticket sales are in process. The intern has created in-store signage with
QR Code linked to online ticket sales that will be distributed this week. Back Alley bids are due end of March and
the City has secured a majority of private property improvement commitments. Ribbon cutting for Carver Flats
will be held March 24, at 1 pm. FVSBank will host an Everyday AI for Small Business seminar at the Stayer center
on April 29, starting at 3 pm.
Motion Daute, second DeJager to adjourn at 8:07 am. Carried unanimously.
