Thank you, Hannah Schultz PAGE 16 PAGE 17 Page 1 of 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Reimbursement Resolution DATE: July 21st 2026 BACKGROUND The Village is anticipating the borrowi ng for the proposed Hobart Municipal Center to occur sometime in early to mid-2028. It is reasonable to expect that ex penses will be incurred prior to the borrowing and/or actual construction (payments for design/build work, utilities, permitting, etc.). Those costs will need to be borne by the existing budgets and reserve accounts at that time prior to any bond proceeds being received. The Reimbursement Resolution before the Board tonigh t, required by the Dept. of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS), shows the Village’s intent to borrow at a future date to reimburse the general fund, or another fund, for project expenses paid prior to the bond proceeds being in hand and meets the requirements established in 26 CFR 1.150-2 (Proceeds of bonds used for reimbursement). RECOMMENDED MOTION * To approve Resolution 2026-09 (A RESOLUTION DECLARING OFFICIAL INTENT TO REIMBURSE EXPENDITURES FROM PROCEEDS OF BORROWING) PAGE 18 Resolution 2026-09 - Page 1 of 2 RESOLUTION 2026-09 A RESOLUTION DECLARING OFFICIAL INTENT TO REIMBURSE EXPENDITURES FROM PROCEEDS OF BORROWING BY THE VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF HOBART, WISCONSIN: WHEREAS, the Village of Hobart, Brown County, Wisconsin (the "Issuer") plans to acquire land and construct a municipal building thereon (the "Project"); WHEREAS, the Issuer expects to finance the Project on a long-term basis by issuing tax- exempt notes or other tax-exempt obligations (collectively, the "Notes"); WHEREAS, because the Notes will not be issued prior to commencement of the Project, the Issuer must provide interim financing to cover costs of the Project incurred prior to receipt of the proceeds of the Notes; and WHEREAS, the Village Board (the "Governing Body") of the Issuer deems it to be necessary, desirable, and in the best interests of the Issuer to advance moneys from its funds on hand on an interim basis to pay the costs of the Project until the Notes are issued. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hobart, Brown County, that: Section 1. Expenditure of Funds. The Issuer shall make expenditures as needed from its funds on hand to pay the cost of the Project until proceeds of the Notes become available. Section 2. Declaration of Official Intent. The Issuer hereby officially declares its intent under Treas. Reg. Section 1.150-2 to reimburse said expenditures with proceeds of the Notes, the principal amount of which is not expected to exceed $1,000,000. Section 3. Unavailability of Long-Term Funds. No funds for payment of the Project from sources other than the Notes are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set aside by the Issuer pursuant to its budget or financial policies. Section 4. Public Availability of Official Intent Resolution. The Resolution shall be made available for public inspection at the office of the Issuer's Clerk within 30 days after its approval in compliance with applicable State law governing the availability of records of official PAGE 19 Resolution 2026-09 - Page 2 of 2 acts including Subchapter II of Chapter 19, and shall remain available for public inspection until the Notes are issued.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Certificate in my official capacity on _______, 2026. (Seal) ________________________________ Lisa Vanden Heuvel, Village Clerk PAGE 63 Page 1 of 2 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Proposed Changes to Village Tree Ordinance (Chapter 255) DATE: July 21st 2026 BACKGROUND In our review of the Village’s Municipal Code, we have taken a closer lo ok at Chapter 255 (Trees). Last amended in 2015, the chapter created a Village Forester, as well as a Parks and Urban Forestry Committee, which had been in operation previously (late 1990s through the mid-2010s, but not continuous). The chapter also created a Forestry Maintenanc e Permit. A review of the Village’ s records and archiv es, it does not appear that a Forester was hire d, nor was a permit created. Ther e was a Parks and Urban Forestry Committee, but it does not appear to have met after the ordinance’s 2015 revision. Staff also has concerns that the current ordinance would create a situation where the Village is compelled to become involved in a civil matter between two neighboring properties. As a result, we are proposing the first comprehensive revision of the Village’s Tree ordinance in more than a decade. MAJOR REVISIONS TO CURRENT ORDINANCE The following sections of the current code are being recommended for removal: SECTION DESCRIPTION § 255-4 (Village Forester established) This section created the position of Village Forester, giving that position citation power. § 255-5 (Parks and Urban Forestry Committee established) There is no record that this committee, which was advisory only, met after 2016. Any tree-related issues could be handled directly by the Village Board or assigned to the Public Works and Utilities Advisory Committee. A third option would be the creation of a separate committee or merging the designated duties with the Park and Recreation Committee. § 255-6 (Forestry maintenance permit) There is no record of such a permit was ever created. § 255-7 (Maintenance permit revocation) The removal of section 6 would necessitate elimination of this section as well. § 255-8 (Public nuisances on private premises) The restrictions on trees are governed in § 207-4 (Public nuisances affecting peace and safety) E. All trees, hedges, billboards or other obstructions which prevent people driving vehicles on public streets, alleys, or highways from obtaining a cl ear view of traffic when approaching an intersection or pedestrian crosswalk. PAGE 64 Page 2 of 2 F. All limbs of trees which project over a public sidewalk, are less than eight feet above the su rface thereof or less than 14 feet over the surface of a public street. § 255-12 (Appeals) Due to the elimination of many of the punitive regulations in the current ordinance, an appeal process which differs from the current process would run counter to normal Village operations. § 255-14 (Fees) With the removal of the Forestry Maintenance Permit, there are no sections in the proposed ordinance which would require a permit be implemented. The following sections of the current code are being recommended for revisions or to remain essentially similar to the current code: SECTION DESCRIPTION § 255-1 (Purpose, intent and applicability) This section is being redefined in terms of the intent of the proposed ordinance. § 255-2 (Disclaimer of liability) This section will re main intact so as to not remove the liability of private property owners to maintain healthy trees and remove diseased and/or dead trees and create a shield from that liability in the Village Code. § 255-9 (Injury to trees prohibited) This section governs damage to trees on public property and will remain in effect. § 255-11 (Interference with Village) This section implies that Vill age staff would be involved in the removal or maintenance of trees on private property. The change would shift that involvement to public property only. There is one section of t he code (§ 255-8. Public nuisances on pr ivate premises) which will be separated into its own section – the transport of materials, specifically diseased and infected trees. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS * To direct staff to place the proposed ordinance on a future Board agenda for action, preferably in August. * To forward the proposed ordinance to the Public Works and Utilities Advisory Committee, or the Parks and Recreation Commission, for further discussion and a recommendation. PAGE 65 A. B. C. Village of Hobart, WI Monday, July 13, 2026 Chapter 255. Trees [HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of Hobart as § 2.2 of the 2000 Code. Amendments noted where applicable.] GENERAL REFERENCES Administration of government — See Ch. 5. Public property — See Ch. 227. Zoning — See Ch. 295. § 255-1. Purpose, intent and applicability. It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Village of Hobart to regulate trees in the Village in order to promote the public health, safety and welfare, prevent the spread of fire, prevent the spread of tree diseases, protect property values, enhance aesthetics and scenic viewsheds, balance the need for road safety while preserving the Village's rustic roads and maintaining trees planted close to the road, reduce the potential for trees becoming public nuisances and hazards, protect trees from loss during construction, encourage use of trees to conserve energy, encourage and maintain an optimal level of age and species diversity, provide specifications for planting, maintaining and removal of trees and provide that all such work (including utility maintenance) in any right-of-way be under permit and to provide a forum for conflict resolution. Trees are a valuable resource which enhance the aesthetics of the property, prevent soil erosion, filter airborne pollutants, reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, produce oxygen and ameliorate harsh climates, thereby reducing energy consumption. In addition, trees contribute significantly to property values and provide many other benefits from a local to a global aspect. This is to be balanced with the need for open space and farm fields which are important aspects in Hobart's landscape and provide habitat for wildlife. This chapter applies to all public land located on and within the boundaries of the Village of Hobart. § 255-2. Disclaimer of liability. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be deemed to impose any liability upon the Village, its officers or employees, nor to relieve the owner of any private property from the duty to keep any tree, shrub, or plant upon any road tree area abutting their property or under their control in such condition as to prevent it from constituting a hazard or an impediment to travel or vision upon any road, park, boulevard, alley, or public place within the Village. § 255-3.

The law bans disposal or incineration of certain rec yclable materials. It also requires every municipality in the state to operate a recycling program to manage those materials. Local units of government, called responsible units or RUs, implement and enforce munici pal recycling programs to ensure that residents, businesses and special event managers comply with state and local recycling requirements. Under Wisconsin's comprehensive recycling law, every citizen in Wisconsin must have residential recycling service or drop-off centers within easy access and should be provided with recycling information. In addition to ensuring provision of re cycling services to reside nts, the law delegates to RUs the responsibility of ensuring that nonresidential locations— including businesses, institutions, special events and construction sites—recycle materials banned from landfills. The law does not requi re RUs to provi de these services themselves. As of July 1, 2025, administrative code that oversees RU effective recycling programs and other aspects of Wisconsin’s recycling law has been revised. The DNR has produced resources to assist RUs with understanding these changes. In orde r to ensure our eligibility for the annual Recycling Grant, we must approve the proposed Ordinance and provide a signed copy to the Wisconsin DNR. The proposed Ordinance has been forwarded to the Wisconsin DNR in advance, and this was the response we received on July 15th: I reviewed the word document of the updated recycling ordinance. Overall, the updates look good and I have no suggestions for edits. Please send me the final signed recycling ordinance when you get the chance. Thanks! (Malena Grimm; Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources; Milwaukee Service Center – Southeast Region) A summary of the state revisions has been included with this memo, along with our current recycling ordinance.
