NOW, THEREFORE, the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence, in consideraƟon of mutual promises, covenants, condiƟons and obligaƟons as set forth herein, do hereby enter into this intergovernmental cooperaƟon agreement as follows: ARTICLE I DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall be deﬁned as: A. MunicipaliƟes: The Village of Hobart (“Village”) and the Town of Lawrence (“Town”) may be jointly referred to as the “municipaliƟes.” It is understood that at any Ɵme during this agr eement either municipality can change their governmental structure and incorporate it into a Village, City, or any other form of government. Such a change by either municipality shall not have any impact or bearing on this agreement. PAGE 15 2 | Page B. Chief of Police: The Joint Police Commission shall appoint an individual to be the “Chief of Police” who shall hold his/her oﬃce during good behavior as outlined in §62.13(3). C. Police Services: Diverse acƟviƟes directed toward the aƩainment of the objecƟves of enforcing the law, prevenƟng and deterring crime, arresƟng criminal oﬀenders, maintaining public order, and providing service to the community. Such acƟviƟes include, but are not limited to: 1) ConducƟng criminal invesƟgaƟons of incidents of crime in order to arrest responsible person(s) for prosecuƟon; 2) DirecƟng and enforcing laws; 3) Responding to emergency and non-emergency calls for service; 4) ConducƟng ﬁeld interviews; 5) ArresƟng criminal oﬀenders; 6) DirecƟng and controlling traﬃc; 7) Issuing citaƟons and summons; 8) Appearing in court; and 9) Obtaining and maintaining evidence. These acƟviƟes consƟtute the comprehensive police services provided each day of the year, on a twenty-four (24) hour per day basis within the jurisdicƟonal boundaries of the municipaliƟes. ARTICLE II PUR POSE AND INTENT The purpose of this Agreement is to sustain public safety and protect life and property within the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence through enforcement of local, state and federal laws through the use of the joint police department services, for all persons and properƟes located within the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence and consistent with intergovernmental cooperaƟon as described in §66.0301, §61.65, and §60.56, Wis. Stats. It is the common belief of the Village of Hobart, and the Town of Lawrence that superior and more eﬀecƟve police services can be secured and promoted within the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence by the joint mutual cooperaƟon of the municipaliƟes. ARTICLE III SERVICE PROVISIONS During the term of this Agreement, including any extensions or renewals, the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence shall be regarded as equal and integral subdivisions within the general police jurisdicƟon. The department’s patrol division will operate with assigned sectors. As established in 2024 and currently in eﬀect at the Ɵme of this Agreement, the department will provide at least one squad car for police protecƟon and services in the North SecƟon and one squad car in the South SecƟon. One squad car will be regularly assigned to each secƟon to provide 24-hour coverage, seven (7) days a week. The assigned car to either secƟon is subject to temporary redeployment for police emergencies or oﬃcer PAGE 16 3 | Page safety consideraƟons to the other secƟon, or in response to a mutual aid request. An excepƟon to that requirement is when the department only has one (1) oﬃcer working due to vacaƟon leave, compensatory Ɵme oﬀ, sick leave, or other vacancy, which reduces the department to only a single patrol oﬃcer on duty. In those instances, the sole patrol oﬃcer on duty will use his or her discreƟon on where they will patrol; however, an eﬀort will be made to ensure they patrol both secƟons. The joint police department’s full- Ɵme administraƟve oﬃce shall be maintained in the Village of Hobart. A substaƟon shall be provided by the Town of Lawrence for oﬃcers to conduct police services and other community acƟviƟes. A workstaƟon with internet connecƟon will be placed in the Town substaƟon. All communicaƟons equipment in the squad car(s) and substaƟon shall be provided by the Village. The Village shall not provide any non-sworn clerical staﬀ at the Town substaƟon, and any and all costs and expenses associated with any non-sworn clerical staﬀ at the Town substaƟon shall be the sole responsibility of the Town. All markings and materials shall include references to both the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence by “Hobart-Lawrence” in menƟon of the joint police department. AddiƟonally, both parƟes agree to meet and discuss the potenƟal expansion of the joint police department should any other municipality express interest in joining. Such discussions shall consider the ﬁnancial, operaƟonal, and governance impacts of expansion, as well as the equitable distribuƟon of costs and resources. Any decision regarding expansion shall be made collaboraƟvely and in good faith, ensuring that the interests of exisƟng municipaliƟes and the eﬀecƟve provision of public safety services remain the top priority. ARTICLE IV A UTHORITY AND CONTROL OF PERSONNEL The Chief of Police will direct and manage the opera Ɵons of the department and supervise the delivery of police services understood in this Agreement. The Employee Agreement Police Chief for the Village of Hobart and Town of Lawrence outlines the overall structure of accountability for the Chief of Police. Sworn police oﬃcers shall take an oath in each municipality, which shall be administered by an oﬃcial authorized to administer oaths - ideally this will be done prior to undertaking law enforcement duƟes pursuant to this Agreement to enforce ordinances of either the Village or the Town. Every sworn police oﬃcer is deemed a sworn oﬃcer of each municipality while performing the services, duƟes, and responsibiliƟes hereunder and is vested with police powers that are necessary to provide police services within the scope of this Agreement regardless of what secƟon they are assigned to on a given day. Sworn police o ﬃcers and other assigned personnel shall be and hereby are vested with the addiƟonal power to enforce the applicable ordinances of the Village or the Town, to make arrests or issue citaƟons incident to the enforcement of the applicable Village and Town ordinances, and to perform other tasks as are reasonable and necessary in the exercise of their powers. This vesƟng of addiƟonal powers to enforce the applicable ordinances of the Village and Town is made for the sole and PAGE 17 4 | Page limited purpose of giving oﬃcial and lawful status to the performance of law enforcement services provided by sworn oﬃcers within the municipaliƟes. Sworn police o ﬃcers and other assigned personnel shall enforce applicable Village and Town ordinances and shall appear in the joint municipal court as necessary to prosecute cases made therein. All sworn o ﬃcers, as well as any other department personnel assigned under this Agreement are and will conƟnue to be employees of the Village for all purposes, including but not limited to the following: employee beneﬁts, grievances, payroll, pension, annual or sick leave, training, and workers compensaƟon. Nevertheless, upon terminaƟon of this Agreement, the iniƟaƟng municipality of the terminaƟon shall be solely responsible for and reimburse the other party for all employment related costs and expenses for all department personnel laid oﬀ. This shall be done unƟl the said Ɵme that the personnel are hired by any employer, are no longer receiving any employment-related compensaƟon or beneﬁts aƩributable to their employment with the department, or a period of one (1) year has passed from the date of the layoﬀ, whichever is ﬁrst. All sworn o ﬃcers, as well as any other personnel assigned under this Agreement are and will conƟnue to be part of the joint police department command structure. Police department personnel are under the supervision of the Chief of Police. ARTICLE V PAYMENT TERMS In considera Ɵon of these services and control mechanisms agreed to, the Town of Lawrence shall pay to the Village of Hobart a ﬁxed annual fee payable in 12 equal monthly installments. Payments will be made no later than the 10th day of each month. The term of the Agreement shall be for ten (10) years. The fee for years one (1) through ten (10) shall be as provided below. The understanding for this agreement is the current level of staﬀ and service that is provided to each municipality. This is eight (8) Patrol Oﬃcers, two (2) Full-Time Lieutenants, two (2) Part-Time Lieutenants, two (2) School Resource Oﬃcers, one (1) InvesƟgator, one (1) Captain, one (1) Chief of Police, one (1) Full-Time AdministraƟve Assistant and one (1) Part-Time Records Clerk. If the Town of Lawrence deems it necessary to add coverage to their secƟon an agreed upon increase reimbursement of services will be discussed by July’s 1st regular scheduled board meeƟng – Lawrence will be responsible for the enƟre costs of doing so. AddiƟonally, if the Village of Hobart deems it necessary to add coverage to their secƟon, they will be responsible for the enƟre costs of doing so – there will not be a corresponding increase to the annual fee to Lawrence. The excepƟon to this rule is the increase of the addiƟonal resources that would be uƟlized by both municipaliƟes (for example an addiƟonal invesƟgator posiƟon or records personnel are added). These increases for services will also be discussed by July’s 1st regular scheduled board meeƟng. A Ōer the year 2032 of this term, the Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence shall meet to discuss the joint agreement, update as necessary, and adjust the fee schedule. YEAR FEE 2025 $793,903.84 2026 $833,599.03 PAGE 18 5 | Page 2027 $875,278.98 2028 $919,042.93 2029 $964,995.08 2030 $1,013,244.83 2031 $1,063,907.07 2032 $1,117,102.42 2033 $1,172,957.54 2034 $1,231,605.42 2035 $1,293,185.69 If the formula agreed upon below indicates it is necessary to propose a fee exceeding the amount generated by the agreed upon fee schedule above, wriƩen noƟce must be provided to the Town of Lawrence prior to the ﬁrst regularly scheduled meeƟng in July. This noƟce will iniƟate a joint board meeƟng to discuss and take acƟon on the proposed increase for the following ﬁscal year. Increases to the agreed fee schedule are based on a formula trigger that factors in:  The ﬁve-year percentage of total police department Calls for Service (CFS)  The percentage of total Equalized ValuaƟon  The populaƟon of the municipaliƟes The formula is: X = (Average of CFS + Equalized ValuaƟon + PopulaƟon) × (General Fund + Capital Fund) An immediate trigger occurs if the ﬁve-year CFS percentage reaches 50-50. For other factors, each must independently reach 50-50 before being considered for triggering the formula. Conversely, in the event that overall cost savings occur due to environmental factors, staﬃng shortages, or other material changes impacƟng service levels, either party may request a review of the ﬁnancial impact for that year. If a demonstrable case can be made that service levels provided were measurably lower than the agreed-upon terms, a compensaƟon review will be conducted. The review shall consider unexpended funds, including but not limited to salary and beneﬁt savings resulƟng from prolonged staﬃng vacancies. Any reimbursement or ﬁnancial adjustment resulƟng from the review shall be calculated based on the original funding structure of one-third (1/3) and two- thirds (2/3) as outlined in the iniƟal agreement. Requests for such a review must be made in wriƟng and supported by relevant ﬁnancial and operaƟonal data. If an adjustment is warranted, the parƟes shall meet in good faith to determine the appropriate reimbursement or allocaƟon of savings. This clause shall not be construed as an automaƟc enƟtlement to reimbursement but rather as a framework for equitable ﬁnancial adjustments based on service levels and cost savings realized. If either party wishes to terminate the agreement aŌer the ten (10) year term, wriƩen noƟce of this intent must be proved to the other party no later than January 31, 2033. PAGE 19 6 | Page The Village of Hobart and the Town of Lawrence (collecƟvely referred to as the "MunicipaliƟes" as deﬁned in this Agreement) are hereby established as the founding members of the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department (the "Police Department"). The MunicipaliƟes shall jointly oversee the formaƟon, operaƟon, and funding of the Police Department in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, including the cost-share formula outlined above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that addiƟonal municipaliƟes join the Police Department subsequent to its formaƟon, the exisƟng terms of the cost-share formula applicable to the MunicipaliƟes shall not automaƟcally extend to such addiƟonal municipaliƟes. The MunicipaliƟes acknowledge and agree that the inclusion of any addiƟonal municipaliƟes shall trigger a mandatory review of the cost-share formula and related funding provisions. During such review, the MunicipaliƟes shall collaborate in good faith to assess the ﬁnancial and operaƟonal impacts of the expansion and, if deemed necessary, propose and adopt amendments to this Agreement to equitably adjust the cost- share formula and other relevant terms. Any such amendments shall be documented in wriƟng and executed by all parƟes to this Agreement then in eﬀect. ARTICLE VI OWNERSHIP OF ASSETS In the event of termina Ɵon of the Agreement, the party that begins the terminaƟon process shall abdicate ownership of police equipment to the other party. All real estate buildings and ﬁxtures (hereinaŌer “faciliƟes”) shall remain the property of each of the respecƟve municipaliƟes. Any and all operaƟng costs regarding or relaƟng to these faciliƟes including, but not limited to insurance coverage, shall remain the responsibility of the municipality that owns the respecƟve facility. Any and all assets purchased by the department during the term of this Agreement shall become the property of the party not starƟng the terminaƟon process when the terminaƟon of this Agreement is c oncluded. ARTICLE VII TERMS OF AGREEMENT The term of this Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. and conƟnue through December 31, 2035, at 11:59 p.m., regardless of the signature dates below. If either party intends to terminate the Agreement aŌer the iniƟal ten (10) year term, wriƩen noƟce must be provided to the other party no later than January 31, 2033. Such noƟce must be received by the other party in accordance with the Ɵmeline speciﬁed above. In the event either party believes that the other party has failed to comply with any requirements of this Agreement, it may invoke the following procedures, all of which are subject to §788, Wis. Stats.: The party asser Ɵng non-compliance will serve wriƩen noƟce on the other party, namely, the Village President and/or Town Chairperson. The noƟce will idenƟfy the speciﬁc provision alleged to have been violated and will specify the factual basis for the alleged non-compliance. The Village President PAGE 20 7 | Page and/or Town Chairperson, or their designees will thereaŌer meet within ﬁŌeen (15) days in an eﬀort to dissolve the dispute. In the event the dispute is not resolved to the sa ƟsfacƟon of the parƟes within thirty (30) days aŌer the service of noƟce, the dispute will be referred to a panel of arbitrators. The arbitraƟon panel will consist of one person selected by the Village of Hobart, one person selected by the Town of Lawrence, and these two arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator. The decision of any two of this panel will be ﬁnal and binding on both parƟes. Each party hereto will pay one-half of the expense of such arbitraƟon, unless the party who brought the issue to arbitraƟon is found to be unmerited by two arbitrators - that party will then pay the full amount of expenses of such arbitraƟon. ARTICLE VIII TERMINATION Except in the case of a breach of the Ag reement by either party in the terms and condiƟons of this Agreement as outlined in the paragraph above, should either party terminate the Agreement, that party shall reimburse the other party the costs of unemployment for the department personnel laid oﬀ as a result of the terminaƟon of this Agreement unƟl such Ɵme that the personnel are rehired, or longer receiving unemployment compensaƟon, or a period of one (1) year has passed, whichever is ﬁrst. ARTICLE IX REVENUES Since grant revenues are reimbursed items, those funds will remain solely with the Village of Hobart, as they do not constitute additional revenue streams and will not be factored into the service fees paid by the Town of Lawrence. Additionally, all other revenues not identified in this Agreement shall also remain with the Village of Hobart. All donations will remain with the police department segregated fund. On an annual basis, the police department will report to both boards the status of the police department segregated fund for donations.

PAGE 30 QUARTERLY REPORT JANUARY - APRIL 2025 PAGE 31 Introduction May 5th, 2025 Village of Hobart Board - Town of Lawrence Board - Police Commission RE: Quarterly Report - January-April 2025 (1 Quarter)st Dear Members: I’m pleased to present the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department’s First Quarter Report for 2025. As we begin this new year, the department has made strong progress across all areas of service—proactive policing, emergency response, officer performance, and strategic planning. Our team has responded to 2,318 calls for service in Q1, with notable activity in crime prevention patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency medical response. We are especially proud to share that we are now at full staffing, with our most recent hire expected to begin solo patrol within the next month. In addition, our newly assembled leadership team has identified clear goals and objectives, setting a firm foundation for operational improvement and organizational growth. The energy across the department is strong, and the forward momentum is evident. With the addition of staff and a stabilized workforce, we’re already seeing measurable results—in April 2025 alone, officer-initiated activity reached 614 incidents, a 20% increase over the 510 recorded in April 2024. This upward trend highlights the impact of our staffing efforts and strategic focus, and we anticipate continued gains as the year progresses. The NFL Draft brought increased traffic to our region, and our department provided directed and targeted patrols along Interstate 41, ensuring public safety throughout the event. Meanwhile, we are deep into our mock assessment for the WILEAG Core Verification Program, and all signs point to a successful verification in the near future—a significant milestone for agency accreditation and accountability. Throughout Q1, we prioritized training and development, sending numerous officers to external trainings while also enhancing our internal instructor cadre and equipment. The dedication of our personnel is evident not only in the volume of calls handled, but in the professionalism and consistency with which they are addressed. Officers such as Ofc. Tremel, Ofc. Stary, Ofc. Schroeder, and Ofc. Radke have exemplified our mission, excelling in high-severity incidents, traffic safety, and community engagement. This report outlines a comprehensive view of our operations, including incident response, key trends, challenges, and strategic recommendations for continued improvement. As busy and productive as Q1 has been, we are just getting started—and I’m excited to see how we can build on this momentum as we move into the second quarter. Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work to keep the communities of Hobart and Lawrence safe.

Two officers were involved in using force during this incident. This incident occurred while assisting another agency on a high-risk traffic stop. The subject would ultimately arm himself with a weapon capable of causing death or great bodily harm to others. Two officers deployed department 40 MM Foam Baton projectiles at the subject. The subject was ultimately taken into custody and transported to an area hospital for treatment. This incident was reviewed and the use of force was found to be justified and within departmental policy and procedure. USE OF FORCE COMPLAINTS Complaints Received 0 HLPD is committed to transparency and accountability while improving community confidence. Tracking and reporting complaints is a measure to meet those goals. This chart will track any allegation of serious and/or minor misconduct that is reported against any employee - either civilian or sworn - reported from individual(s) outside the police department. During the first quarter of 2025 the department received no complaints against an officer(s) or staff. The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public and to the law enforcement community. Officers are involved on a daily basis in numerous and varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their legitimate duties. The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department recognizes and respects the value of all human life and dignity without prejudice to anyone. Vesting officers with the authority to use reasonable force and to protect the public welfare requires monitoring, evaluation, and a careful balancing of all interests.

RECITALS Lawrence has constructed and currently owns and maintains the South Packerland Drive Sewer (the “SPD Sewer”) as set forth in the attached Exhibit A pursuant to an agreement with the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District (“GBMSD”) Hobart recognizes that using the SPD Sewer would improve their service to certain areas of Hobart by allowing for gravity service thereby eliminating the need for lift stations in those areas. The Parties recognize that GBMSD has the right to acquire the sewers owned and controlled by Lawrence. The Parties anticipate that GBMSD will purchase the SPD Sewer at which time the GBMSD will enter into an agreement with Hobart to provide sewer service at rates and in the manner provided in GBMSD ordinances. The acquisition process employed by GBMSD has several steps and can take a considerable period of time. Hobart wishes to commence using the SPD Sewer immediately. To permit Hobart the immediate use of the SPD Sewer until the GBMSD acquires the sewer (Interim Period), and to address the terms of use of the SPD Sewer if GBMSD does not ultimately purchase the sewer, the parties enter into this Agreement. In accordance with the foregoing Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: A. Access and Use of the SPD Sewer. 1. Connection to SPD Sewer . After reasonable notice from Hobart, the parties will coordinate the construction necessary for Hobart to connect to SPD Sewer. Lawrence shall oversee such connection however Hobart shall be responsible for all costs associated with the construction and will save and hold Lawrence harmless from any claim, suit or liability related to the connection. Upon approval of the connection, Lawrence shall accept sewerage flow as described herein. PAGE 56 2. S ervice Area and Allocation. Hobart shall be permitted to contribute sewerage to the SPD Sewer limited to that originating from the service area designated in Exhibit A (Service Area) to the maximum capacity designated in Exhibit B (Allocation). 3. Septage. Hobart shall not allow septage to be introduced into its collector system or into the Subject Sewers, to the extent that the Subject Sewers are within Lawrence boundaries. For purposes of this Agreement, septage shall have the same definition set forth in the Green Bay Metropolitan Sewerage District Sewer Use Ordinance, Chapter 2. B. Compensation for Use of SPD Sewer. 1. Interim Period. During the Interim Period, or until 3 years after the execution of this Agreement, whichever comes first, there shall be no compensation paid to Lawrence for use of the SPD Sewer. 2. Purchase By GBMSD . The parties acknowledge that GBMSD is authorized by statute to acquire any or all of the SPD Sewer and that Lawrence has agreed not to contest any such acquisition, Lawrence’s authority to provide allocated capacity in the SPD Sewer will terminate with regard to any portion purchased upon closing of the transaction with GBMSD. a. If GBMSD purchases the SPD Sewer or any portion thereof from Lawrence, Hobart will be required to negotiate an independent agreement with GBMSD purchasing capacity in the SPD Sewer and allow Hobart to continue its use of the SPD Sewer. Lawrence shall not be involved in or in any way responsible for Hobart’s continued use of the SPD Sewer except that in the case of a partial purchase, ( ) below shall apply to the portion that remains in the ownership of Lawrence. b. Upon acquisition of any portion of the SPD Sewer by GBMSD, Hobart shall save and hold harmless Lawrence, its employees, officers, and agents, from any claim, action or liability relating to any portion of the GBMSD acquired by GBMSD. 3. GBMSD determination not to purchase. If GBMSD decides not to purchase or fails to purchase the SPD Sewer within 3 years from the execution of this agreement, Hobart shall pay, in cash, to Lawrence, within 60 days of written notice from Lawrence that the GBMSD has notified the Town of the decision of GBMSD not PAGE 57 to pur chase SPD Sewer, the cost of the Allocation for the Service Area, that would have been required by GBMSD as proscribed by the GBMSD Sewer Use Ordinance.

Village of Hobart By: _____________________ Its Administrator Town of Lawrence By:___________________________ Its Administrator PAGE 59 MEMORANDUM TO: Hobart Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator/Michael Renkas, Police Chief RE: Proposed Changes to the Lateral Transfer Program – Salary Structure Update DATE: May 20th 2025 BACKGROUND To maintain the competitiveness of the Lateral Transfer Program for the Hobart -Lawrence Police Department (HLPD) and align with the new 2025 salary structure, we propose the following updates to the program’s compensation policy, effective for 2025. Current Lateral Transfer Salary Policy • Lateral transfers are recognized up to year three on the old pay scale, with a maximum rate of $37.45/hour ($81,790.80 annually, based on 2184 hours). • Lateral transfers start at the base rate ($29.65/hour) and are adjusted to the appropriate step upon completion of the Field Training Program (FTO). Previous Salary Scale Note: Provided for reference; this has been replaced by the 2025 salary structure. Proposed Changes to Lateral Transfer Salary Policy 1. Extend Recognition to Year Five on the New Pay Scale: Under the current program, lateral transfers are recognized up to year three ($37.45/hour - $81,790.90 annually on the old pay scale). We propose extending this recognition to year five on the 2025 pay scale, which is $36.86/hour ($80,512.24 annually, based on 2184 hours). This rate closely aligns with the previous maximum of $37.45/hour, ensuring the program retains its original merit and competitiveness despite the updated salary structure. Term of Employment Salary Terms Starting Salary $29.95 ($64,755.60) After One Year $31.92 ($69,713.28) After Two Years $35.38 ($77,278.66) After Three Years $37.45 ($81,790.80) PAGE 60 2. Immediate Application of Higher Pay Rate Based on Experience: Lateral transfers will no longer start at the base rate ($30.30/hour). Instead, they will immediately be placed at the pay rate corresponding to their years of experience (rounded down to a whole number) upon hire, without waiting for FTO completion. For example, an officer with three years of experience will start at $34.08/hour, an officer with five years of experience will start at $36.86/hour, and officers with six plus years of experience will also start at $36.86/hour. Current Salary Structure (Effective January 1, 2025) Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the boards amend the Lateral Transfer Program policy to reflect the proposed changes outlined above. We further recommend that the updated policy be implemented effectively upon the date of approval by the boards to ensure timely alignment with the 2025 salary structure and to maintain the program’s competitiveness in attracting experienced candidates. Term of Employment Salary Terms Starting Salary $30.30 ($66,175.20) After One Year $31.50 ($68,822.20) After Two Years $32.77 ($71,575.09) After Three Years $34.08 ($74,438.09) After Four Years $35.45 ($77,415.62) After Five Years $36.86 ($80,512.24) After Six Years $38.34 ($83,732.73) After Seven Years $39.87 ($87,082.08) PAGE 61 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Welcome to Hobart Signs DATE: May 20th 2025 BACKGROUND In March 2025, the Board approved two infrastructure projects in TID #1 (Centennial Centre) – the reconstruction and upgrade of Sunlite Drive and the extension of Founders Terrace, at a combined cost of $1,328,709.35. The Village had borrowed $1,846,181 for the projects, resulting in an unallocated balance of $517,472. In April, the Board approved a motion to allocate a portion of the unspent proceeds (estimated at $10,000) for two (2) Welcome to Hobart Signs in Centennial Centre. Staff has determined potential locations for the two (2) signs and is requesting funding ($2,580) for a third sign. PROPOSED LOCATION The proposed locations are on the map found on the next page of this memo. PROPOSED MOTION To approve the locations of the two Welcome to Hobart signs, as well as the location for a proposed third Welcome to Hobart sign, with the funding ($5,280) to come from the unspent proceeds of the 2024 TID #1 Bond.
