PAGE 11 Page 1 of 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Resolution 2026-10 DATE: September 15th 2026 BACKGROUND The Board is being asked tonight to approve Resolution 2026-10. The Village’s 2026 budget includes a $70,694 payment from the Ut ility to the General Fund (Payment in Lieu of Taxes or PILOT), which is required by the PSC. This amount is $118,000 less than the amount recommended in the annual audit. In the Village’s rate case ap plication, the Village asse rted that the reduced amount was approved by the Village Board in 2010. The Utility has paid less than the full PILOT ea ch year since that last rate case increase. As part of the current rate application, the PSC asked for the reso lution that would have been passed by the Village Board in 2010 to approve the PILOT reduction. A thorough search showed that no such resolution was acted upon by the Board, therefor e tonight we are asking the Board to approve a resolution, which should have been adopted 16 years a go. This will make the PILOT reduction compliant with the PSC’s requirements and request and follows the current practice. REQUESTED MOTION To approve Resolution 2026-10 (A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF HOBART, WISCONSIN, AUTHORIZING A LOWER PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (PILOT) FROM THE VILLAGE OF HOBART WATER UTILITY FOR THE 2026 FISCAL YEAR) PAGE 12 Resolution 2026-10 - Page 1 of 2 RESOLUTION 2026-10 A RESOLUTION OF THE VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF HOBART, WISCONSIN, AUTHORIZING A LOWER PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (PILOT) FROM THE VILLAGE OF HOBART WATER UTILITY BY THE VILLAGE BOARD OF THE VILLAGE OF HOBART, WISCONSIN: WHEREAS, the Village of Hobart, Brown Country, Wisconsin, owns and operates a municipal water utility known as the Village of Hobart Water Utility (the "Utility"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.0811(2) and Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSC) regulations, the Utility is permitted to pay a tax equivalent, also referred to as a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT), to the Village’s general fund; and WHEREAS, the maximum allowable PILOT payment is determined annually using a standardized formula established by the PSC, whic h is directly tied to the gross book value of t he Utility's local infrastructure and assets; and WHEREAS, due to recent infrastructure investments and rising asset values, the maximum allowable PILOT payment calculated for the 2027 fiscal year has increased to $195,286 , which represents a significant increase over the prior year's payment; and WHEREAS, the Village Board finds that collecting the full maximum allowable PILOT payment would place an unnecessary financial burden on the Utility, potentially forcing an escalation of utility rates for local residents and business owners; and WHEREAS, Wisconsin municipalities maintain the local authority to accept a lower or flat PILOT payment than the maximum amount permitted by the PSC formula via a formal governing body action; and WHEREAS, the Village Board determines it is in the best financial interest of the community and its utility customers to reduce the PILOT payment by $118,000 each year to minimize the financial impacts. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hobart, Brown County, Wisconsin, as follows: 1. Authorization of Lower PILOT: The Village hereby waives its right to collect the maximum calculated PSC tax equivalent and explicitly auth orizes a lower, fixed PILOT payment from the Utility as stated above. 2. Direction to Staff: The Village Administrato r, Clerk, Treasurer, and Utility staff are hereby authorized and directed to execute all necessa ry accounting adjustments and documentation required to reflect this reduced payment in the municipal and utility budgets. 3.

Pine Tree Rd Hobart, WI 54155 Dear Jerry Lancelle: An Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment (Reference Number 0000084814) for the Village of Hobart in the amount of $37,026.58 from the Wisconsin Disaster Fund will be deposited in the previously set up account through the State of Wisconsin’s Accounting System – STAR. The Village of Hobart documented the damages and the recovery costs for the Severe Snowstorm and Winds disaster event starting on 3/14/2026. The WDF Coordinator has verified that the cost of recovery efforts totaled $52,895.12 and finds the documentation from the local unit of government to be satisfactory. The WDF was created by order of the 2005 Wisconsin Act 269 and enacted April 5, 2006, to provide state disaster assistance to local governmental units. This assistance is in the form of reimbursement for 70% of the WDF eligible costs of completing recovery efforts after a major catastrophe when federal assistance is not available and WDF funds are available. If you have any questions about this award, please call Wisconsin Emergency Management at (608) 242-3259 or email us at widisasterfund@widma.gov. On behalf of the State of Wisconsin, thank you for your efforts.

The remaining funds are financed through a variety of sources. GENERAL GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS FUND Primary Funding Source (s) General (001) Property Tax Levy - Fees Water Utility (002) Water Charges Sanitary Sewer (003) Sewer Charges Capital Projects (004) Property Tax Levy Debt Service (005) Property Tax Levy K-9 (006) Donations Storm Water (007) Storm Water Charges Tax Increment District #1 (008) Property Tax Levy Tax Increment District #2 (009) Property Tax Levy Parks and Recreation (010) Park Fees and Rentals * ARPA (011) Federal Funds Fire Department (012) Donations Police Department (013) Donations Garbage and Recycling (014) Garbage Charges * - This was a one-time Fund created during the COVID pandemic following a Federal stimulus program and payment to municipalities and states. PROGRAM-BASED BUDGETING: WHY For the 2027 budget, I am proposing a change to use a Program-based budget. This would be in addition to our current fund-based budget format, by providing an additional method of viewing, analyzing and critiquing our annual fiscal perform ances and plans. A prog ram budget is meaningful to the Village board and the public because programs are directly relevant to how they experience Village services. A program budget is organized into service areas, rather than just departments, objects of expenditure, and line items. Budget discussions about police patrols and tree servic es, for example, are more meaningful than discussions about salary, benefit, and contractual se rvice costs in the budgets of the police and public works departments. Program-based budgets also clar ify trade-offs between different spending options. When there are no new revenues, if the budget for po lice patrols is to be incr eased, then the budget of PAGE 17 Page 2 of 3 another program, like the fire department, will need to be reduced. A program based budget will also more clearly illustrate where the tax levy, which is the most visible portion of the budget process, is allocated to certain service areas. The first place to begin in developing a program based budget is to create an inventory of all the Village’s programs. This clarifies exactly what we do as a local government. Consider when you ask for a menu at a restaurant. If a menu had just five words printed on it — appetizer, salad, entrée, dessert, and beverage — you would have a difficult time understanding what was being offered and whether or not you like the restaurant. Conversely, if the restau rant provides a long list of all the ingredients and recipes it uses, you would have too much information to decide if you would like to eat there. Similarly, in the current budget format, the information presented in the broad cat egories of “Police Department” or “Public Works Department” doesn’t give citizens a good understanding of what the department does, and the line items provide too much detail. This means that participants in the budget process have difficulty communicating, and citizens can’t see how their tax dollars are being used.

The facility should be designed to safely and efficiently serve both Hobart and Lawrence, with capacity for future staffing, technology, equipment, and operational needs without significant building modifications. VISION FOR THE NEW HOBART MUNICIPAL CENTER – LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSPECTIVE  Support long-term law enforcement operations and continued community growth.  Provide capacity for a future department of at least 30 sworn officers.  Improve operational efficiency, security, and employee safety.  Improve public access and customer service.  Provide appropriate space for evidence, equipment, vehicles, training, and technology.  Promote employee wellness, recruitment, and retention.  Maintain flexibility to accommodate future changes in policing and technology. COMMUNITY SNAPSHOT  Village of Hobart Population: 11,885  Town of Lawrence Population: 7,125  Combined 2026 Population: 19,010  Service Area: Approximately 50 Square Miles  Growth Outlook: Continued Residential, Commercial, and Population Growth Anticipated  Planning Horizon: 30-50 Years CURRENT STAFFING Full-Time  Chief of Police  Assistant Chief of Police  Lieutenants: 2  Investigator: 1  School Resource Officers: 2  Patrol Officers: 9  Administrative Assistant: 1 Part-Time  Lieutenants: 2  Records Clerk: 1 PAGE 30 12 HOBART MUNICIPAL CENTER Future Planning  Facility capacity for a minimum of 30 sworn officers  Flexible workspace for future civilian and specialized positions LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE EXISTING FACILITIES  Current facility is significantly undersized for modern professional police operations.  Insufficient private office space for command, supervisory, and investigative functions.  Limited to no patrol briefing, report-writing, and collaborative workspaces.  No locker, shower, changing, and employee wellness spaces.  Evidence processing and storage are separated from the primary Police Department facility. Additionally, evidence storage is not in one location.  Insufficient secure storage for equipment, supplies, records, and specialized equipment.  No dedicated secure booking, temporary holding, or appropriate interview areas.  Limited to no secure indoor vehicle and equipment storage.  Police functions have been adapted to available space rather than purpose-built workflows.  Limited to no ability to accommodate future staffing and operational growth. In June 2017, Bray Architects conducted a Police Department spac e needs assessment and concluded: “Current facilities do not meet the modern basic needs of an operational Police Force. A major lack of space drives the immediate need of a competent and efficient Police Department facility.” Since that assessment, the Department has grown significantly and has continually adapted its operations to available space. Those options have now largely been exhausted, with no practical means of further utilizing existing Police Department space or other Village- and Town-owned facilities without compromising operational efficiency, security, or increasing municipal risk.
