The Village of Bellevue is proud to present our municipal budget to the Bellevue community. This fiscally responsible 2026 funding plan
provides a continuation of the programs this community has come to enjoy. The budget will support our continued desire to provide all
essential and as many discretionary services as possible in a fiscally responsible manner. The Village budget represents continued
investments in public infrastructure, community parks & open space, continued investment in our Public Safety Departments and the
equipment necessary to ensure success. 2025 represented a new chapter for Bellevue. Over the last year the Board and Staff
successfully negotiated the riggers of facility expansion while maintaining all services. Our new Village Hall facility is a testament to
the drive and ambition of a community that is just over 50% built out. New staff have enhanced our programs and gave a little breathing
room for existing players. 2026 will continue that trend with the funding of a new full-time employee that will replace an existing part-
time position (DPW Admin Assistant). This budget will also benefit from the necessary water and sewer utility rate adjustments. These
revenues will firm up the utilities and allow a more predictable annual rate adjustment tied to inflationary increases. More funding is
likely in years to come, but this budget sets the tone for future opportunities.
The complete $26.4 million budget provides the necessary financial resources to staff and operate six primary departments comprising
26 individual branches. This budget reflects a $0.73 decrease in the tax mill rate from $3.29 on the 2024 tax bill to an estimated $2.56 on
the 2025 bill (revenue for 2026). Decreases in the mill rate are directly tied to previously approved revaluation and increased GO borrow
measures for municipal projects funded by levy supported debt. Though the mill rate is decreasing, the Village is collecting more taxes
than prior years. The increase in individual property owners assessed valuation due to the mandated 2025 revaluation will cause many
property owners to see a manageable increase in overall local property tax expenses.
Overall Board guidance is derived from current trends and Bellevue’s Strategic Plan. Village leadership and Staff are focused on
creating a culture based on our values and working toward achieving our goals in the following five strategic areas:
As a Village organization, we continue to work towards achieving the objectives and actions within these strategic areas. The 2026
Budget supports these desires through responsible fiscally justified management.

GENERAL BUDGET SUMMARY
TAX RATE
The 2026 budget reflects a decrease of 73 cents in mill rate
from $3.29 on the 2024 tax bill to an estimated $2.56 on the 2025
bill. This mill rate should be used with a bit of caution due to
the recent revaluation Bellevue undertook in 2025. A
revaluation is a State of Wisconsin required recalculation
when the equalized value (total market value of the
community) and the assessed value (the taxable value of the
community) are brought back to equal. When a revaluation
occurs, the Village’s assessed value is corrected to match the
equalized value. In response, Bellevue’s assessed value
increased by over $732 million. Bellevue doesn’t collect more
revenue instead the mill rate is adjusted down. The opposite
would be true if the assessed value were to decrease (mill
rate would then go up). Because the mill rate when down does
not mean a property pays less in taxes. This is very important
to recognize as many figures including value of property, other
taxing agency budgets and the Village’s own budget all weigh
heavily into the final amount each property is responsible for.
This mill rate is then used to figure what each property is
responsible on the annual tax statements by multiplying the
rate times the value of each property per thousand dollars. For
example, a $365,000 dollar property (365 units of $1,000) would
be responsible for $934.40 in local property tax. This figure
does not include any other taxing agency’s expense, special
charge or credit.
Each 2025 tax bill (distributed in December 2025) is used to
fund 2026 budget operations. The following chart outlines the
individual property tax buckets for the Village. The mill rate
including proposed has a ten-year average of $2.93 per
thousand in value.

Bellevue continues to use three different taxation categories;
General Fund Tax, Debt Tax and Capital Tax. For the 2025 tax
statement, only the General Fund Tax (68.36% of local rate)
and Debt Tax (31.64% of local) are authorized. Capital Tax Rate
is not needed for 2025 tax rate and is only allowable for certain
infrastructure-related projects. In December, all properties
receive the annual tax statement. This invoice is used to help

The General Fund Levy for 2026 operations increased by
$63,075 over 2025. This is allowable thanks to limited Village
growth in valuation attributed to net new construction. The
Debt Service Levy needed to meet required debt obligations in
2026 has increased by $475,235 over 2025.This increase is in
direct response to the Village Board’s commitment to
continued infrastructure and maintenance projects outlined in
the five-year CIP.

The following reports and attachments provide a more
detailed analysis of the proposed 2024 budget including
categorical revenues and expenses. This proposal allows for
the Village to maintain basic core services. Additional
considerations may be needed in future years to address long-
term funding needs in core services, illustrative projects and
future service requirements. Note that all these calculations
are impacted by rounding and how many digits are used by
the County to calculate tax bills and percentages may vary
slightly.
ALL FUND REVENUES & EXPENDITURES SUMMARY
Overall Proposed 2026 Revenues
The following table indicates the overall breakdown of overall Village Operating Revenues. An overall increase of 8.41% is anticipated
for 2025. An overall increase in funds of $2,157,811 is realized over the current year. The major changes are related to and increase in
Capital Projects Fund (already funded), decrease in Debt Service Fund (existing debt proceeds) and increases in Enterprise Fund
revenues. An increase in Internal Service Fund (VOM) is thanks to the final allocation of ARPA funding.

Overall Proposed 2026 Expenses
The following table indicates the change in Proposed Village Operating Expenses for each category. An overall decrease in Expenses
of $5,438,153 (-17.05%) in 2026. The majority of this reduction is attributed to Capital Projects and how Bellevue funds project though
alternating year priorities. General Fund initiatives (general government) continue to remain stable with available revenues helping to
offset expenses. Water and Sewer Utility expenses are now managed thanks to newly adjusted utility rates. Stormwater and Sanitation
Funds will likely have 2026 rate adjustments in order to keep up with current and projected expenses.

General Fund Revenues by Source
The following chart details the Village’s total General Fund revenues by source. The General Fund, or taxes, is approximately 56.77% of
total revenues for the Village’s general operations (decrease of 0.10% over 2024). Intergovernmental revenues are the second greatest
revenue source (20.64%) largely due to increases in shared revenue categories.
The Village’s property tax levy for the General Fund continues
to be a significant portion of the Village’s total revenue.
Though not all, taxes account for 54.19% of revenues. General
Fund revenues are proposed at $7,977,807 represents a 6.10%
increase over 2025. Revenues saw varied levels of change
over 2025 budget. Miscellaneous revenues represent the
largest categorical increase thanks to robust interest earnings
on Village assets. Sales tax support through State Shared
Revenue as well as General Transportation Aids are
supporting the Village but are not enough to manage long-
term obligations alone. The Village Board continue to take a
balanced and thoughtful approach with a focus on justified
increases in revenues that align with direct community
benefits.

With the exception of Other Financial Uses, all other funds experienced an increase in funding. Individual highlights can be found in the
individual budget document sheets. Larger bucket categories listed below provide an outline of expenses related to the chart above.
Limited revenue increases coupled with contractual expenses are continuing to make annual budgeting difficult. The substantial
increase in negotiated contract rates with Brown County Sheriff and Green Bay Metro Fire Department will continue as outside agency
needs are accounted for.

FUND BALANCE REVIEW
All Village funds continue to remain in a strong position. December 31, 2025 projected fund balance for the general fund is $3,348,632
which is approximately 45.4% of the 2025 general fund budgeted expenditures (estimate only and dependent upon annual financial
audit). This figure will be reduced once restricted and committed general funds are removed. Per the Village’s General Fund Policy, the
Village will maintain a minimum general fund balance of 30%. The Village’s Fund Balance Policy also establishes that fund balance in
excess of 30% is prohibited from being used for ongoing recurring expenditures and directs fund balance in excess of 30% to 1) village
revaluation (target balance of $70,000); 2) buildings and grounds capital projects (75% of remainder after #1), and information
technology capital reserves (25% of remainder after #1). Upon CY 2025 completion, staff will provide recommendations on reallocating
any appropriate unrestricted fund balance. The adjacent chart highlights the fund balances for each Village Fund. Total end of 2026
assets are expected to increase by $2,153,701 or 3.7%. Most funds will see a modest increase with General and Debt remaining stable.
Stormwater utility and VOM are expected to see decreases in assets primarily related to low rate revenues for storm and larger
planned purchases for VOM. Village assets continue to remain strong.

BALANCED BUDGET
The 2026 budget as presented for the general fund is a balanced budget, which means that total expenditures do not exceed total
revenues for the fiscal year. Overall budget is supplemented by design using utility fund balances and available debt supported levies.
Long-term utility rate adjustments will be necessary to ensure continue financial stability.
VILLAGE UTILITIES SUMMARY – ENTERPRISE FUNDS
Sanitary Sewer Utility
Village sewer utility rates were
increased on newly adjusted in
2025. The sewer utility rates will
Fiscal year 2025 is expected to
end with an overall utility loss of (-$138,776) which is lower than
what was originally anticipated (-$589,326). The Village
anticipates significant future capital and operating
expenditures to achieve compliance with the Lower Fox River
Basin Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and the Wisconsin
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) continue to be
monitored closely along with charges to the Village by NEW
Water (Green Bay Metropolitan Sewage District). The Village
has projected an increase in NEW Water charges of 4.57% (+
$123,035) over 2026. This increase in bulk wastewater treatment
is related to increased residential and commercial demand as
well as an increase in NEW Water rates. The Village is
continuing to develop infrastructure projects and initiatives to
decrease any unbillable expenses for the sewer utility.
Stormwater Management Utility
The stormwater utility rate was increased in 2020 (from $4 to $6
monthly ERU) for the first time since the fund was created in
2002. The Village also passed a 6-month moratorium on issuing
new stormwater credits until further analysis is completed. A
rate study for storm will be proposed for 2026. The utility is
functioning as designed, but is not able to weather the increase
in expenses nor any increase in services and compliance
projects. Operationally, the utility will see a modest 2026 surplus
of $11,436. The overall assets of the utility are projected to
decrease by -$718,564 (-4.7%) over the course of 2026. This
reduction in assets is directly tied to a reduction in overall
unrestricted reserve due to capital projects or compliance
programs. An early 2026 rate case that adjusts the revenue up
will impact this reduction.
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit
requirements. Staff continue to enhance an urban storm water
management plan thanks to 2022 and 2024 grants. These
projects will help support village wide runoff treatment and
both have 2025 completion dates.
Village of Bellevue - Operating Budget 2026
Page 1.7
Water Utility
The Village continues
replacing waterlines and
repairing leaks to reduce
operational costs. The budget
includes continued funding for leak and water tower
inspections, cleaning, and repairs.
The Village has been a community partner with the Central
Brown County Water Authority (CBCWA) since October 2007.
Water sales are projected to increase due to added growth.
Increased water demand in residential and commercial
sectors is driving a decrease in bulk water purchase (-$4,760
of 0.23%). The increase in demand a decrease in purchase
cost is a bit of a paradox, though it is explained thanks to
increased cost share of fixed costs passed down by CBCWA.
The more all communities grow in the CBCWA service area,
the less each property has to pay per volume of water.
Similar to the Sewer Utility, Board approved a rate case in
anticipation of a 2025 rate adjustment. Due to PSC delays and
process, the rate is not likely to take affect until 2026. Total
2026 water utility expenditures will decrease by $103,103.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND – 2026 PROJECTS
A five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is included as part of this budget report. Capital projects are defined as equipment or other
assets with a useful life of ten years or more and/or which involve amounts more than $10,000. The following projects provide a brief
snapshot of Village initiatives. A complete breakdown is available in the five-year CIP.
Of the 63 total projects proposed in the next five years, 20 projects are scheduled to continue or begin in 2026, including:
INFORMATION & TECHNOLOGY
IT55 Agenda and Meeting Management: Village records
retention and meeting postings are two key priorities for an
open and transparent government. The addition of software
will allow us to better notify our community for upcoming or
past meetings. ($20,000)
IT36 Document Digitizing: Anticipated to stop in 2027, this multi-
year program has taken much of the Village’s paper documents
and made them digital. Digitizing has allowed staff to streamline
work and create a stronger records retention program.
($20,000)
IT45 Village Website Redevelopment: The Village’s website is
out of date and has certain compliance requirements that will
need to be addressed. ($30,000)
IT58 Westminster Trailhead Surveillance: The Village desires
to improve awareness and safety at the Westminster Trailhead
of the East River Trail. The primary purpose of this proposed
improvement is to establish a safe location for the region as
well as a set of eyes on a portion of the East River that has
fewer public access points. ($15,000)
PARKS, RECREATION & FORESTRY
PRF37 Baseball Field Mix Addition at Debroux and Josten:
Proposed work includes the complete replacement of infield
playing surfaces at the north baseball field at Josten Park.
Work at Debroux Park was completed in 2024. ($13,800)
PRF34 Ontario – Huron Pedestrian Trail: The Village secured a
$410,933 State grant to construct a new pedestrian trail to connect
neighborhoods to local businesses, recreation areas, and
industries. The project will be conducted over multiple years.
($7,800 in 2026, $513,667 in 2027)
PUBLIC WORKS
PW23-04 Hoffman Road Reconstruction: Bellevue received a
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant totaling $1,372,596 in
funding to help support the complete reconstruction and
upgrade of Hoffman Road. Once complete, the road will have
improved safety features, pedestrian accommodations, and a
repaired driving surface. ($1,865,911)
PW23-05 Ontario Road Reconstruction: Like PW23-04,
Bellevue received a Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) grant
of $750,979 to support the reconstruction of Ontario Road
(Eaton Road to Green Bay), which will significantly reduce the
local impact from the related construction cost estimate.
(1,020,799)
PW20-08 Village Street Resurfacing Program 2027: The Village
participates in bi-annual paving projects to rehabilitate
existing roadways. PW20-08 includes 3.66 miles of road work
and will continue a new paving method to save a projected
40% overall billable expense. ($181,490 in 2026, $3,316,878 in
2027)
SANITARY
SS20-01 Sanitary Lining Project: The Village is making positive
progress in controlling inflow and infiltration (I&I) issues in
sanitary sewer mains through an annual program designed to
locate, design, and install sanitary sewer improvements
focused on preventing groundwater penetration. ($17,000)
SS24-03 Sanitary Sewer Extension (P.O.P. Church to Erie Rd):
This parallel project to PW19-03 will install new sanitary
sewers and further allow for the development of future growth
areas. Once completed, this section of sanitary sewer will
align with existing water mains currently installed along the
corridor. ($95,900 in 2025 & $762,600 in 2026)

STORM
ST20-02 Fire Lane Pond Revisions: Bellevue continues to
make positive strides in capturing, treating, and releasing
stormwater after rain events. This is a multi-year project is
beginning with design in 2025. ($78,000 in 2026 & $258,300 in
2027)
ST23-07 Stormwater Management Project: This annually
funded project will continue to provide limited projects for
small-scope improvements to the Village’s overall stormwater
needs. Projects can include, but are not limited to, ditch work,
matching grants, educational opportunities, and other
residential storm concepts. ($50,000)
WATER
W20-03 Green Bay Interconnect: Bellevue Water Utility will be
exploring a cross jurisdictional partnership with the City of
Green Bay where emergency water can be shared in the
event of a catastrophic loss of water. This is a multi-year
design/build program that will likely align with other
infrastructure improvements along the Huron Road Corridor.
($15,000 in 2026, $54,000 in 2027)
TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT
TID #2-003 Essen Road Structure: Growth to the east along
Essen Road has reached a point where a bridge structure is
necessary to span a large intermittent stream. As proposed,
this multi-year design-build project will tackle this bridge
crossing. ($102,000 in 2026, $589,000 in 2027)
TID #2-002 Sanitary Sewer Extension – Warm Springs to
Huron: TID #2 has implementation dollars set aside to help
support the extension of deep sewer along the Egan Lane
corridor. This extension is viewed as development necessary
due to the location and the end goal of reaching the east side
of Huron Road at some point in time. ($538,916)
VEHICLES, OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE (VOM)
VOM 24-01 2011 Backhoe Replacement – Wheel Loader: An
important piece of Village equipment has reached the end of
its reasonable life. The Board, in 2025, preauthorized the
purchase of this 2026 equipment with the intent to utilize it for
seasonal snow plowing support and all season road and
compost uses. ($350,000)
VOM 14-001 Pickup Truck Replacements: This regular
equipment purchase line provides for new fleet vehicles when
a vehicle is due for replacement. ($62,000)
VOM 25-01 Rear Load Garbage Truck – Leaf Collection: The
Village Board has directed staff to implement a limited bag
style leaf/fall waste pickup program in 2027. As part of this
program, staff will seek 2026 approval of the necessary
equipment. This equipment is also in alignment with additional
staffing considerations in 2027. ($340,000)
PUBLIC SAFETY
PS24-01 Police Fleet Vehicles: To accurately represent all
capital expenses, the Village has a Public Safety component
to the annual CIP. This item represents the yearly allocation of
squad car replacements. Fiscal Years 2026-2030 highlight the
purchase of one fleet vehicle each year. ($59,500 in 2026)

DEMOGRAPHICS
LOCAL ECONOMY
The Village is ideally located in Northeastern Wisconsin, in an area called the Great Lakes Economic Region. This is an industrial area
of highly skilled labor, centers of business and commerce and very profitable consumer markets. Bellevue is bordered on the north by
the City of Green Bay, to the west is the Village of Allouez, to the south is the Town of Ledgeview and to the east is the Town of Eaton.
The Village is approximately 109 miles north of Milwaukee, 146 miles northeast of Madison, 199 miles north of Chicago, 285 miles east of
Minneapolis/St. Paul and 382 miles northwest of Indianapolis.
The economic condition of the Northeastern Wisconsin area remains strong as noted by the residential and commercial development
within the Village over the last decade.
Village of Bellevue - Operating Budget 2026
Page 2.7
VILLAGE POPULATION
The Village has experienced moderate population growth of 12.4% over the past decade (2016-25) and 1,534 or 9.8% since 2020. Brown
County’s population growth was closer to 6% for the same period. The Village’s estimated population for 2025 is 17,240, an increase of
255 (1.5%) from 2024. This rate of growth is lower than last year (+270), but still represents continued growth. Population projections
estimate the Village will have a population of 19,140 by 2030 and a population of 20,780 by 2040.
Source: Wisconsin Department of Administration, Demographic Services Center
RESIDENTIAL PERMITS (SINGLE OR TWO-FAMILY HOMES)
Monitoring the amount of new residential permitting occurring in the Village is a key indicator of growth and the planning necessary to
meet new demands on the Village for services.
* 2025 represents single or two-family permits through 08-31-2025. End of year projected is 60 permits.
As shown in the chart, the number of new single or two-family home permits issued between 2018 and 2025 in the Village has increased
and then stabilized at a higher rate since lows in 2012 through 2016. Under direction of the Village Board, the community has taken
proactive steps to utilize tools such as Tax Incremental Financing as well as the Village Residential Infrastructure Policy to address the
shortage of available lots. These initiatives have paid off with several new subdivision phases setting the stages for continued single-
family unit growth that will continue into 2026 with continued home starts and new lots coming online in the Bedford Heights, Willow
Glen and Willow Grove subdivisions. Bellevue is also benefiting from continued development with several new subdivision
developments under review or proposed.
Year-end projections for 2025 sit at 60 homes. This would represent a 7.7% decrease over 2024 and yet a dozen units above the average
of single or two-family permits issued for the previous decade (average of 48).

ASSESSED VALUE
The assessed value of the Village, or often considered the value of the tax base, is an important figure in determining the Village’s tax
levy mill rate and overall growth. Assessed value is determined by the Village Assessor, except for manufacturing properties which are
assessed by the State. Assessed values for the Village (not including tax incremental districts) are shown in the following table. 2025
included a Wisconsin mandated revaluation where local assessed valuations are adjusted to match state provided equalized values.
Each revaluation adjusts the local mill rate to match market trends but has no bearing on the overall volume of tax revenue collected.
Instead, it impacts the volume of what a property pays in annual taxes.

BUDGET ADOPTION & CALENDAR
The proposed draft budget is provided to village board annually in September. In October budget work sessions are held, which are
open to the public. The Village Board finalizes the budget and works with staff throughout the month of October. The proposed budget
is then forwarded to a Public Hearing typically held on the second Wednesday of November. Any final edits to the budget are made at
that meeting and then it is adopted, and a final budget document is prepared. Approval is required in November to allow for necessary
time to coordinate with the Brown County Treasurer to calculate, print and mail property tax bills by mid-December.
The budget calendar as shown below reflects the annual timeline in guiding the process of budget adoption. Staff utilizes an on-line
project management portal to work through the process and ensure all staff involved is fully apprised of deadlines and responsibilities.

BALANCED BUDGET
When preparing the annual budget, a balance budget refers to the total of all revenues and other financing sources within a fund, shall
be equal to all expenditures and other financing sources.
During the year, formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device for the general fund, special revenue funds
and debt service funds. Management control for the capital projects funds is achieved through product authorizations included in debt
issue resolutions.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS
Expenditures may not exceed appropriations provided in detailed budget accounts maintained by each activity or department of the
Village. Amendments may occur during the year to modify the adopted budget. The following are some examples of changes to the
budget:
• Receipt of grant money;
• Funding of expenditures are projected to exceed budget amounts;
• Transfer of appropriations from one fund to another
Amendments to the budget during the year require initial approval by management and are subsequently approved by the Village Board
with a two-thirds vote. The amendments must be published as a class one notice within 15 days of approval.

BUDGET POLICIES
The Village of Bellevue’s financial policies set forth the basic framework for the overall fiscal management of the Village. Policies serve
as a guide to assist in Village Board financial decisions and to guide Village staff on making recommendations to the Board. Policies
are updated and reviewed as necessary to adjust for changing conditions, to incorporate new mandates or regulations and to remain
current with recommendations from Village consultants and the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) or Government
Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
The Village currently operates under the following Budget and fiscal policies. A summary of each is provided below. Full copies of any
policy is available at Village administration office.
• Capital Improvement Policy
• Debt Management Policy
• Fund Balance Reserve Policy
• Investment Policy
• Purchasing Policy
• Year-End Closeout Policy
POLICY SUMMARIES
Capital Improvement Policy
The Village has a substantial investment in buildings, equipment, parks and public infrastructure including its utilities. Prudent
management of these investments is the responsibility of Village government. To fulfill this responsibility, but remain within fiscally
prudent parameters, the Village has enacted this policy for development of the capital improvement budget. This policy applies to all
capital budgets of the Village, including general Village functions (tax-funded debt) and utility funds. A five-year plan shall be
developed. A capital expenditure is defined as any amounts expended for equipment or other assets with a useful life of ten years or
more and/or which involve amounts more than $10,000.
Debt Management Policy
The debt management policy sets forth the parameters for issuing debt, managing outstanding debt and provides guidance to decision
makers regarding the timing and purpose for which debt may be issued, types and amounts of permissible debt, method of sales that
may be used and structural features that may be incorporated. The debt policy recognizes a binding commitment to full and timely
repayment of all debt as an essential requirement for entry in the capital markets. Adherence to the debt policy helps the Village to
maintain a sound debt position and protect its credit quality.
Fund Balance Reserve Policy
The fund balance is the resources remaining from prior years and which are available to be budgeted in the current year. There are
five fund balance classifications; they are 1) non-spendable, 2) restricted, 3) committed, 4) assigned and 5) unassigned fund balance.
An order of fund balance spend-down is detailed within the policy. This order will be used for purpose of reporting fund balance. The
Village also is ordered to maintain sufficient cash reserves for working capital and emergency expenditures; the Village maintains a
minimum general fund balance of 30% of actual current year general fund expenditures (combination of committed, assigned and
unassigned fund balance). Funds more than 30% cannot be used for ongoing recurring expenditures and are directed for village
revaluation (target balance of $70K), buildings and grounds capital projects fund (75%) and information technology capital expenditure
reserve fund (25%).
Investment Policy
The Village’s daily investment activities are guided by this policy. Public deposits are done at designated financial institutions.
Withdrawals are authorized by the Finance Director/Clerk-Treasurer and State Statute 66.0607. Investments of funds that are not
immediately needed are invested in funds that the Finance Director/Clerk-Treasurer deems appropriate, and these funds are
accounted for in the Financial Statements of the Annual Auditor’s Report. Safety, liquidity and return on investment are the three
primary objectives of the Village Board, Village Administrator and Village Finance Director/Clerk-Treasurer in determining investments.
Village of Bellevue - Operating Budget 2026
Page 2.12
Purchasing Policy
This policy provides guidance and procedures to be followed for the procurement of goods and services for all departments and to
provide safeguards for maintaining a procurement system of quality and integrity. The objective of the policy is to ensure that materials,
equipment and services are purchased at the lowest overall, long-term cost consistent with quality and performance to achieve the
best value. To provide adequate controls over Village expenditures and financial commitments with proper documentation. To obtain
quality goods required by Village departments and to provide a standardized system of purchasing for use by all Village departments.
The Village Board has approved the Village Administrator and Village Finance Director/Clerk-Treasurer to pay bills in the interim prior
to the regular Village Board meetings. However, a report will be submitted at the next regularly scheduled Village Board meeting for
Board review.
Year-End Closeout Policy
The policy is maintained to monitor expenditures and revenues on an annual basis and ensure that all transactions are recorded in the
proper fiscal year. The Village’s fiscal year runs from January 1 through December 31. Accounting, accounts payable and payroll are
all documented. The prior-year encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods and services and
will be recorded when incurred. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end will be reported as reservations of fund balance.
• Year-End Carryover Requests
o Department Heads year-end carryover request will need to be submitted by February 5
th
on the Village’s Year-End Encumbrances Request Form.
o If approved, by the Village Administrator, the Year-End Encumbrances will be submitted
to the Village Board for approval at the 1st meeting in April.

The fund balance indicated above represents the unassigned general fund balance. This represents fund balance that is not
appropriated or committed to a particular project. The unassigned fund balance is needed to help pay for unexpected expenditures
such as abnormally high snow removal costs or unexpected capital outlay.
The Village of Bellevue adopted policy titled, “Fund Balance Reserve Policy,” requires minimum reserves to be 30% of current year
general fund expenditures with amounts committed to (a) long-term receivables, and (b) monies committed for sick leave. After
considering the two categories of fund balance listed above, any monies needed to reach the 30% minimum reserve level shall be
placed into an undesignated reserve. The Village’s Fund Balance Policy also establishes that fund balance in excess of 30% is
prohibited from being used for ongoing recurring expenditures and directs fund balance in excess of 30% to village revaluation,
Buildings and Grounds capital projects, and Information Technology capital reserves.
The Village is anticipating ongoing compliance with the minimum General Fund reserve requirement for the year that will end
December 31, 2025 as shown in the chart above. Per policy, necessary adjustments are made after current year audit is completed.

GENERAL REVENUES: TAXES
DESCRIPTION
The General Revenues (Taxes) account is the Village's general-purpose tax levy. The levy is determined by taking the difference
between total General Fund budget expenditures and all other General Fund revenue sources. The levy determines the tax rate, which
is equal to the total levy amount divided by the total assessed value of all property in the Village, divided by 1,000.The resultant figure is
the tax rate per $1,000 of assessed property value.
Mobi
le Home Taxes are property taxes assessed against homes in the Parkview and Perret Village mobile home parks. This revenue is
segregated into a separate account as property taxes on mobile homes are calculated in a different manner than other real property.
The M
anagement Forestland account is taxes paid on land in the Village participating in a State of Wisconsin forestland preservation
program.
The H
otel Room Tax is a tax imposed on customers, by property owners, for rooms or lodging. These revenues support tourism
marketing and tourism related facilities in Brown County.
Wat
er Utility Taxes are taxes paid by the Bellevue Water Utility to the municipality .The tax calculation is determined pursuant to Wis.
Stats. 66.0811(2).
Del
inquent Personal Property Tax is interest penalties due to late payment of personal property taxes. However, this tax was
discontinued in 2025.
The A
gricultural Use Penalty is a charge that is applied upon the conversion of agriculturally assessed property to more intensive use.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
• + $46,001 Increase in 2025 General Property Taxes from 2024 taxes.
• + $17,743 Estimated increase in Mobile Home Taxes to be collected.
• - $9,131 Decrease in Ag Use Penalties estimated to be collected in 2026 due to reduced development being planned in the
more rural areas of the Village which would require land use conversion.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL REVENUES
DESCRIPTION
Intergovernmental revenues are payments by other governmental bodies to the Village of Bellevue. Historically, it has been one of the
largest sources of revenue. State shared revenues and transportation aids make up the greatest proportion of such state aids.
Fire insurance tax payments were eliminated due to the Fire Department consolidation agreement between the Village of Bellevue and
the City of Green Bay. Although once the amount budgeted for 2026 is received, it is immediately passed on to the City of Green Bay.
Exempt computer aids are payments by the State to compensate for loss of revenue resulting from a 1999 change allowing companies
to remove computers from their personal property tax rolls.
Exempt personal property aids are payments by the State to reimburse municipalities for lost personal property tax revenue. The first
personal property aid payment was made to municipalities in May 2019.The 2017-2019 state budget (2017 Act 59) exempted machinery,
tools, and patterns, in addition to manufacturing items already exempt by prior law, effective January 1, 2018.In 2025, personal property
tax collection was discontinued altogether.
State transportation aids are payments by the State to fund highway maintenance operations. Aids are calculated based on a formula
that includes historical Village transportation spending.
Forest cropland funds are subsidies paid by the Department of Natural Resources for local properties participating in the forestland
preservation program.
Other state payments are funds that were received from the COVID Routes to Recovery Grant Program, including ARPA.
Transit Revenues are the Village's share of fares and aids collected by the Green Bay Transit System's bus routes operating in
Bellevue.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

SANITARY SEWER UTILITY
GOAL
To provide Bellevue residents with uninterrupted sanitary service at a reasonable rate.
OBJECTIVES
• To provide annual maintenance of the sanitary system pump stations, mains and manholes.
• To maintain system integrity through inspection and cleaning of mains and manholes.
• To provide prompt and efficient service response to Village residents.
• To control infiltration and inflow by implementing an inspection program and creating a 5-year capital program to address
the needs of the system.
PROGRAM ACTIVITY STATEMENT
The sanitary sewer utility is responsible for the maintenance, repair, replacement and operating services for the Village’s sanitary
sewer system. The Village ensures that the 81.9 miles of mains, five lift stations and 1,637 manholes remain clear of obstructions and

the inspection/repair program.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY
GOAL
To provide Bellevue residents with cost effective environmentally sensitive storm water management programs and to ensure the
continued viability of the urban forest through programs that maintain a healthy, diverse and sustainable tree canopy.
OBJECTIVES
• To provide annual maintenance of the storm water infrastructure including pipes, ponds and streams.
• Integrate storm water environmental mandates into new developments as they occur.
• Create a 5-year capital program to address storm water quality/quantity issues.
• Improve storm water runoff quality to surface waters.
• Reduce flooding.
• To provide prompt and efficient service response to Village residents.
• Ensure village trees are maintained at optimum levels of stocking, health, age, species diversity and are appropriate for the site.
• Ensure that residents are knowledgeable about proper tree planting and care.
• Make trees an integral part of community planning decisions.
PROGRAM ACTIVITY STATEMENT
The Storm Water Utility operates as an enterprise fund to plan construct, operate and maintain the Village’s storm water system
including storm sewers, creeks, streams, drainage ditches and ponds. The objectives of the utility are to achieve and maintain
compliance with federal and state water quality regulations, to protect wildlife and protect private property through erosion control
efforts and floodplain management. These objectives are achieved through planning, ordinance enforcement, construction of storm
water management facilities and maintenance of existing systems. The Village maintains approximately 66 miles of storm sewer mains,
1,073 manholes, 96 outfalls and 18 municipal ponds. Each year the Village cleans catch basins, inspects outfalls and makes repairs to
the system. The Village sweeps approximately 120 curb miles of streets once per month between April and November.
The U
rban Forestry Division is responsible for the planting and maintenance of trees in the street right-of-way, Village parks and all
other Village-owned properties. Trees in the Village's right-of-way are property of the Village and permission is required before
residents prune, remove, or perform any maintenance. The Village maintains over 4,300 public trees. An emphasis on the management
of the urban forest continues and is aided by planning provided in the Village’s Urban Forestry Management Plan 2024-2028 and
Arboricultural Specifications manual.
The d
ivision offers a voluntary, residential neighborhood tree planting program in the fall for tree plantings in the terrace. Resident
cover the wholesale costs of the tree and labor. The division also manages street trees for all new subdivisions in the Village. A linear
curb fee is charged per a developer agreement, collected and placed in an escrow account for trees. After occupancy permits have
been issued for a property and a lawn established, trees are selected and planted in the terrace. The number and location of each tree,
species and size are determined by the village forester.

SIGNIFICANT EXPENDITURE, STAFFING & PROGRAM CHANGES
• An overall increase to Stormwater utility revenues of + $74,000 over the 2025 budget.
• Increased State and Federal requirements in addition to local best practices are continuing to put a larger emphasis on the
Stormwater Utility. Substantial grant support (nearly $400,000 in construction funds) is offsetting capital needs, but other operating
and maintenance expenses continue to impact the utility. Rate review is planned for 2026 (much easier process than sewer and
water) and likely done internally with limited auditor support.
• An overall increase to the Stormwater Utility expenses of + $324,589 over the 2025 budget primarily related to capital transfer
to VOM. The planned purchase of $340,000 for a rear-load garbage truck to implement a bagged leaf collection program
accounts for the increase to the expenses in Stormwater Utility for the 2026 budget year.
