Owner/Developer: Pulaski School District 2. Applicant/Agent: Jones Sign / Krista Suhr 3. Address/Parcel: 4193 Hillcrest Dr. / HB-712 4. Zoning: PI: Public / Institutional District 5. Use: Elementary School BACKGROUND Hillcrest Elementary School, located at 4193 Hillcrest Dr., is nearing the completion of a substantial addition / renovation project and requests to install a 40 square foot wall mounted Electronic Message Center (EMC) on the front (east) building elevation facing Hillcrest Dr. As part of the addition / renovation project for this school, the freestanding ground sign has been removed and will not be reinstalled. The only sign that is proposed for this facility will be the 40 square foot wall mounted EMC sign on the front (east) elevation of the facility. The sign had been prematurely installed on the facility while they had the proper equipment still on site to perform the task. It was shortly after it was installed that it was noticed and relayed to the proper individuals with the school district that the proper approvals were not obtained for such a sign. The sign was immediately turned off until such a request could be made to the Village. The Village Sign Code has recently been revised to allow for such a sign to be installed, and the final step would be for the SRC to review and take formal action on this sign request. One important requirement that was included in the revision to the Sign Code (copy of such code is attached) is that such a sign as this shall be turned off between the hours of 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM (or outside of normal business hours) whichever is more restrictive. This was recommended by the Village Planning & Zoning Commission for such a situation with such close proximity to residential uses. This wall sign as proposed would be in compliance with the Village Sign Code. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the proposed 40 square foot EMC wall sign to be located at 4193 Hillcrest Dr. as submitted subject to the following condition(s): 1. Property owner submitting a letter to the Village as part of the permit application certifying that they will comply with the prescribed brightness limitations set by the sign ordinance for Electronic Message Centers. ISSUE: Discussion and action on a request for a new wall signage located at 4193 Hillcrest Dr. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional approval based on staff recommendation and any conditions the Committee may identify.

Owner/Developer: NNN REIT,LP / La Petite Academy 2. Applicant/Agent: Joe Socha / Fast Signs of Northeastern WI 3. Address/Parcel: 4275 Hillcrest Dr. / HB-713 4. Zoning: PI: Public / Institutional District 5. Use: Day Care Center BACKGROUND La Petite Acadaemy, located at 4275 Hillcrest Dr., is an operating day care facility (formerly Shining Stars Children and Education Center) and is submitting for review and action of a proposed freestanding and a wall sign. The request before the Committee at this time would be for a new non-lit ground mount sign of a total of 28.8 square feet in the same location of the front yard adjacent to Hillcrest Dr. to replace the existing sign. This proposed sign is code compliant and will be non-illuminated. Per ordinance, freestanding signs along this roadway are permitted up to 100 square feet of sign area, along with a maximum height and width of 20 feet. The proposed sign would require to maintain a minimum of a 10-foot setback from the front property line (street right-of-way line). As for the proposed wall sign, that will be a non-lit aluminum panel with flush mount letters. This proposed sign will be a total of 65 square feet and mounted above the front entrance to the building. Both the free standing and wall sign as proposed would be in compliance with the Village Sign Code. RECOMMENDATION/CONDITIONS Staff recommends approval of the proposed 28.8 square foot ground mount sign and 65 square foot wall sign to be located at 4275 Hillcrest Dr. as submitted subject to the following condition(s): 1. Sign shall maintain a minimum 10-foot setback from front property line (street right-of-way) ISSUE: Discussion and action on a request for new freestanding sign and wall signage located at 4275 Hillcrest Dr. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends conditional approval based on staff recommendation and any conditions the Committee may identify. PAGE 19 PAGE 20 MEMORANDUM TO: Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator RE: Proposed Hobart Municipal Center DATE: September 2nd 2025 BACKGROUND SPACE NEEDS STUDY (2016-2017) In October 2016, the Village of Hobart retained Bray Associates Architects, Inc. to conduct a thorough facility analysis and departmental needs assessment focused on the existing building and staff for the Village Hall & Police Department, Fire Station #1, Fire Station #2, Village DPW/ Utilities Garage, and the Woodland Worship Center. The study “aimed to identify the opportunities and challenges of the existing locations, review the programmatic challenges of the departments, and propose a series of solutions to address the identified and prioritized needs. ” At the time, the report noted that “(t)The Village of Hobart is located in Brown County, Wisconsin. Hobart is a village directly west of Green Bay, Wisconsin. According to the United States Census Bureau, the total population was 7,610 people in 2014. In 2011, the village accounted for 10% of all newly registered parcels in the State of Wisconsin, making Hobart one of these fasted growing municipalities in the state.” The final draft of the report, released in June 2017, recommended the Board consider several proposals, ranging in cost from $14.5-$15.2 million. At the time, the Village did not have the debt capacity to consider the option of completing all of the projects on the list at the time. The legal debt limit of the Village at the end of FY2016 was $12,193,292, and it decreased by the end of FY2017 to $9,789,686. In hindsight, the debt limit of the Village would not allow the projects to be seriously considered until 2019 (assuming inflationary factors had not significantly increased the projected costs of the projects. PAGE 21 A s most of us are aware, the Village has grown substantially since the space needs study was conducted. The tax base of the Village has grown from $771.6 million in 2016 to nearly $1.7 billion today. The population of the Village has grown substantially as well, adding over 13 percent new residents since the start of the decade and nearly doubling from the 2010 census. It is reasonable to assume that the Village will surpass 12,000 in population in the next 12 -24 months. PAGE 22 ADDRE SSING SPACE NEEDS - NEW FIRE STATION (2023) The Village took the position of addressing its space needs over the next several years in incremental steps. The first of those steps took place in the spring of 2023, with the borrowing of $4.9 million to construct a new fire station at the site of the existing Fire Station #1. That facility had been built in the early 1960s, when plans were approved to build an addition to the existing Town Hall, with an estimated budget between $9 -15,000. The addition was needed to house two pieces of firefighting equipment, following the merger of the Hobart and Oneida Fire Departments to form a single unit. By the early 2020s, the building was showing significant signs of deterioration and was unable to house the current and projected equipment needs of the Fire Department. The new fire station was completed in the fall of 2023 at a cost of approximately $4.9 million. A 20-year bond to finance the project was issued in March 2023, with an interest rate of 3.80 percent. The Fire Station has since become the home of County Rescue, providing much needed ambulance service to the Village’s residents with considerably improved response times to what has been in place prior. It has been utilized for voting (the southern half of the Village), Municipal Court and other assorted Village meetings, including Village Board meetings which have larger audiences than the current Village Office can accommodate. ADDRESSING SPACE NEEDS – PURCHASE OF PROPERTY ON GOLDEN LANE (2024) In the fall of 2024, the Village negotiated and completed the purchase of 1.58 acres of property from a private interest (HB-68-5) along Golden Lane. Following the conclusion of the 2017 Space Needs study, it was apparent that a ny expansion or extensive remodeling of the existing Public Works facility on North Overland Road was virtually impossible without a secondary site to relocate operations during the construction process. The proximity of the Golden Lane property to the existing Village Office, and the fact that site contained a large cold storage facility along with ample open space for storage and future Public Works programs, made it an attractive option for the Village to consider. The site also provided a location for the Public Works Department to operate out of in servicing the central and southern areas of the Village , whereas the current facility was more oriented towards serving the western and northern section of the Village . While this purchase would not address the long-term needs of the Public Works Department, it provided the Village with several options and alternatives to consider. PAGE 23 T he purchase price of $625,000 was funded by a debt issuance of $593,000 (at 4.75 percent interest) in February 2025. Part of the purchase was financed through reserve funds, lowering the size of the borrowing and allowing for funds to be available for improvements. The 10-year bond will be paid back through the General Fund, Water Utility, Storm Water Utility and Sanitary Sewer Utility. ADDRESSING SPACE NEEDS – ADDITIONAL LAND ADJACENT TO THE VILLAGE OFFICE (2025) In 2004, the Village and Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport entered into discussions to vacate a portion of W. Adam Dr. and Lonesome Road (being within the Airport Property and the Airport being the sole landowner of all of the contiguous land surrounding the potential land being vacated. A resolution to vacate the roads was drafted, but existing records show that the public hearing was delayed, and the resolution was never acted upon. In 2020, the Village and the Airport re-entered into discussions relative to the possible vacation of the two roads, as part of a larger “swap” of land. Earlier this summer, the Village and the Airport reached an agreement to finalize the land swap. Under the terms of the agreement, “the property may be only used for the construction and operation of municipal facilities, e.g., Village Hall, fire station, police station, road department. There shall be no sleeping quarters or sleeping facilities.” In anticipation of this land transfer arrangement being completed later this year, an expansion of the existing parking lot at the Village Office has been commenced. PAGE 24 HOBART MUNICIPAL CENTER BACKGROUND Earlier this year, the Village became aware that a large portion of the property which is currently the site of Joe DeNoble Sewer & Water Construction on West Adam Drive was potentially available for purchase. After negotiations and preliminary analysis of the location, the Village entered into a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement for a portion of the parcel (7-8 acres) for $6.2 million. The exhibit above shows the approximate property lines. A survey would be conducted if the purchase is completed to clearly mark the property to be purchased. The transaction would include the administrative offices of the company, along with four (4) large buildings on the site. The basic terms of the agreement are as follows: Purchase price of $6.2 million (minus any payments prior to the purchase), payable in the spring of 2028 minus payments of $100,000 in 2026 and 2027 to the current property owner. PAGE 25 F UTURE USE OF PROPERTY The property would allow the Village to address a number of immediate and long -term space needs. It is anticipated the following Municipal operations will be relocated to the new site: • NEW POLICE STATION: This is the most pressing space need of the Village and would be the first project undertaken in 2028. • NEW VILLAGE OFFICE: This project could be done in conjunction with the construction of a new police station in 2028 or be undertaken in 2029. Several variables, including cost, potential layout and the fact that there is a presidential election in 2028 (which does not lend itself to making a move very appealing), will determine the actual date of the project. The new office would also include a new multi -purpose room that could be used for Village Board meetings, committee meetings and Municipal Court. The site would also better serve the election needs of our community – with the estimated number of registered voters in Hobart at 8,888 (2025 Wisconsin Department of Administration Estimates) • NEW PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY: Due to the condition of the existing facility on North Overland Road, this project would likely not be needed or proposed until the early 2030s. The following layout and design for the future use of the property is for illustrative purposes only. No final design or layout has been determined: PAGE 26 P ROPOSED TIMETABLE PRIOR TO ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY • SEPTEMBER 16, 2025: Village Board votes on executing the Offer to Purchase as outlined in the Real Estate Purchase and Sales Agreement. The closing date on the property would be July 2, 2028. • SUMMER 2026: A Request for Proposals for Construction Management Services would be created and approved by the Board. The RFP would request proposals from firms to provide professional services for the construction management. The Construction Manager will be viewed as part of the design team and will participate throughout the design, construction and start up phases. The Village will participate in the management of design and design reviews. The Construction manager firm is not allowed to perform self-work throughout the process. This is the same format as was utilized for the 2023 construction of the Fire Station • WINTER 2026: The Village will hire a Construction Management firm to design the new facility. • 2027: Design for initial projects is finalized, and bidding takes place. • SPRING 2028: Village will borrow $6 million for the purchase of the property, as well as additional funds. • FALL-WINTER 2028: New Police Station becomes operational. USE OF EXISITING FACILITIES With the creation of the Hobart Municipal Center, there will be several existing properties that will need to be repurposed. No determinations regarding those new uses need to be made at this time but will have to be addressed over the next 24-36 months. Some preliminary concepts to be considered are as follows: PAGE 27 • E XISTING VILLAGE OFFICE: The Village Board has indicated it would not consider the selling of the building and land, and one option to consider is the creation of a Community Center (for larger meeting and rental) along with an adjacent park. • EXISTING PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY: After the current building is razed, the site could be open for future building needs or a large outdoor storage location (I.E. recycling events, yard waste, etc.). The existing salt shed would remain and is in good condition due to its recent construction. NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER The following narrative was provided by Police Chief Mike Renkas. OVERVIEW The Hobart-Lawrence Police Department is at a critical juncture. Our current facilities, located in the center of the Village Hall, no longer meet the operational, security, and professional standards required of a modern law enforcement agency. When Bray Architects conducted a facility needs assessment in 2017, the Police Department had 10 full -time employees and 1 part-time employee. Today, we operate with 16 full- time employees and 3 part-time employees—a 60% increase in full- time staff and a 200% increase in part -time staff – all of whom require dedicated workspace to support their specialized roles (Investigative Lieutenant, Training Coordinator, and Records Clerk). At that time, our combined jurisdiction population was approximately 14,000 residents. Today, Hobart and Lawrence together total 18,569 residents— an increase of nearly 33%. Both municipalities remain among the fastest -growing communities in Brown County and the State of Wisconsin. This rapid growth, combined with increased staffing and the demands of 24/7 police services, underscores the urgent need for a new facility. CURRENT FACILITY LIMITATIONS The Police Department currently occupies three dedicated offices within Village Hall: • Chief’s Office: Also functions as a department conference and training area, providing the only alternative meeting space when the Village’s main conference room is in use. It further doubles as a secure file storage location. • Captain’s Office: In addition to administrative use, this office serves as the department armory and as a secondary secure file storage space. • Shared Office : Houses the Administrative Assistant, Investigator, part -time Records Clerk, eight Patrol Officers, two Lieutenants, and, when necessary, our two School Resource Officers. Effectively, the majority of the Hobart -Lawrence Police Department operates out of a single shared office, while the dual use of the Chief’s and Captain’s offices illustrates how critical spaces have been repurposed into makeshift solutions. These compromises further limit efficiency, security, and professionalism. As staffing and responsibilities PAGE 28 h ave expanded, the department has been forced into reactive adjustments that underscore the severe inadequacy of our current facility: • Lockers & Technology : Lockers, body camera systems, duty bags, and other equipment have been squeezed into the already overcrowded shared office, further reducing functional workspace. • Vehicle Parking: To consolidate operations and maintain efficiency, department vehicles were moved to exterior parking, eliminating the security and efficiency of indoor storage. • Interview & Detention Space: The Village’s only conference room must serve as our interview area, yet it is not secure, contains windows, and has movable furniture —compromising both safety and confidentiality. Because this room is shared and often reserved, it is not reliably available when needed, creating significant operational challenges. Additionally, there is no secure space anywhere in the building for booking or processing prisoners. • Evidence Handling: Evidence processing and storage occur off-site at the DPW building, where both security and environmental controls are inadequate. Additional evidence is stored in rented units, raising risks of tampering, contamination, and noncompliance with accreditation standards. • Security: Village Hall lacks secure entryways, sally ports, or detention areas— basic requirements for safe prisoner handling and officer/public safety. • Work Environment: Severe space limitations directly affect efficiency, professionalism, and morale. Recruitment and retention are hindered by the inability to provide an environment that supports modern policing needs. FACILITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT To meet both immediate and future needs, the Police Department requires a purpose-built facility that includes: • Administration: Adequately sized offices for current and future staff • Conference/Meeting Space: Equipped with technology to support training, collaboration, and efficient communication • Detention & Processing: Secure booking area, hard and soft interview rooms, and a sally port for prisoner transport • Evidence: On-site, secure, and properly designed evidence processing and storage facilities • Patrol Operations: A dedicated squad/briefing room and adequate locker rooms • Fitness & Wellness: Space for officer health and wellness programs • Garage & Storage: Secure indoor vehicle storage, equipment storage, and general storage to support operations TRAINING FACILITY JUSTIFICATION A dedicated training facility for the police department is an essential investment in the safety, professionalism, and preparedness of our officers. The DeNoble site presents a unique opportunity, as it includes a “bonus” building without a defined purpose—making it an ideal location for a cost-effective conversion into a training center. Training requirements for law enforcement have grown significantly in recent years, driven by both state mandates and evolving community expectations. At present, the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department has no on-site training space. We must rent or borrow facilities, which reduces training frequency, increases costs, and limits our ability to adapt quickly to emerging needs. PAGE 29 A properly designed training facility at the DeNoble site would provide: • Fitness Room: Dedicated space for officer wellness, strength training, and conditioning— critical for job performance, injury prevention, and career longevity (if not part of the police department renovations). • Defensive and Arrest Tactics (DAAT) Training Area: Wrestling mats and open floor space for hands -on instruction in defensive tactics, use -of-force decision-making, and control techniques, ensuring compliance with Wisconsin DOJ standards. • VR Training Room: Virtual reality technology for scenario- based training, allowing officers to practice de - escalation, crisis response, and tactical decision-making in a safe but realistic environment. • Simulation/Scenario Space: Movable walls to reconfigure the space into residential, commercial, or vehicle layouts, creating dynamic and realistic environments for scenario-based training. • Classroom: A flexible, technology-enabled classroom to host in -service training, bring in guest instructors, and open the facility to regional partners. Such a facility is not only rare —it is virtually unheard of for a department of our size. Establishing this space would place the Hobart-Lawrence Police Department at the forefront of law enforcement training in Wisconsin. It would also create opportunities for regional collaboration, reduce reliance on rented facilities, and potentially generate revenue by hosting outside agencies. Most importantly, it would demonstrate our commitment to officer safety, preparedness, and community trust. Ultimately, this training facility would ensure our officers are better prepared, better supported, and better equipped to serve the rapidly growing communities of Hobart and Lawrence. CONCLUSION As Bray Architects stated in 2017: “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.” We are now nearly a decade beyond that assessment. The deficiencies identified then have only deepened, creating daily operational challenges and long-term risks for our agency and our communities. A new facility is not a luxury—it is a necessity to ensure public safety, compliance with professional standards, and the continued ability to recruit and retain quality officers. I urge the Village Board to take immediate action toward planning and constructing a facility that reflects the needs of our rapidly growing communities and the professional standards expected of modern law enforcement. REQUESTED ACTION No action is requested at tonight’s meeting. A final determination on the purchase of the DeNoble property will be placed on the September 16th Board agenda for action. PAGE 30 MEMORANDUM TO: Hobart Village Board FROM: Aaron Kramer, Village Administrator & Stacy Bell, Village Treasurer RE: 2026 Cost of Living Adjustment DATE: September 2nd 2025 BACKGROUND Last year, the Village approved a new compensation plan. Part of the proposal includes the setting of a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA): An annual COLA base increase will be established by the Village Board, at its first meeting in September, following a recommendation from the Village Administrator. This recommendation will consider such factors as the Village’s financial condition, the Consumer Price Index, and comparable wage increases of other municipalities and the State of Wisconsin. The Board must also establish the Performance Pay Adjustment (PPA) each year as part of the formula: In addition to the COLA, an employee’s performance that exceeds standards will be eligible for a Performance Pay Adjustment (PPA)…The Village Board will establish the maximum PPA at its first meeting in September. Performance reviews will take place following the establishment of the COLA and PPA for the upcoming fiscal year. COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) In trying to recommend the COLA, I have reviewed a number of potential metrics and believe we should use two: COMPONENT YEAR-TO-YEAR CHANGE Consumer Price Index, Midwest Region (July 2025) The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) 2.6 percent Midwest Economy - Employment Cost Index (June 2025) The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a quarterly measure of changes in total labor costs and their wage-and-salary and benefits components. Midwest-East North Central Division: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin. (Source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics) 3.3 percent Other potential data components, such as the annual increase in Social Security payments for 2026, are not released in time to be factored into our calculations. PAGE 31 RE COMMENDED COLA: 3 percent (the average of the two components above is 2.9 percent) RECOMMENDED PPA: Up to one (1) percent – Same as 2025 TOTAL MAXIMUM INCREASE IN SALARY: 3.5 percent NEW VILLAGE PAY PLAN AND PROGRAM ILLUSTRATIONS The Village Board establishes the COLA for 202 6 at three (3) percent. This means each employee who receives a satisfactory performance review (score of 2 or more) will receive a three percent increase. At the same time, the Board establishes that the maximum allowable PPA will be ½ (one-half) percent. SCENARIO A: Employee A undergoes a performance review with their Department Head. The final score of the performance review is a 2. The Department Head recommends that Employee A receives no additional PPA in addition to the annual COLA. EMPLOYEE: 2025 wage - $20.00 per hour, 2026 wage - $20.60 per hour (3 percent increase) SCENARIO B: Employee A undergoes a performance review with their Department Head. The final score of the performance review is a 3. The Department Head recommends that Employee A receive an additional PPA of 0.5 percent in addition to the annual COLA, resulting in a total 3.5 percent increase for Employee A in 2026. EMPLOYEE: 2025 wage - $20.00 per hour, 2026 wage - $20.70 per hour (3.5 percent increase) SCENARIO C: Employee A undergoes a performance review with their Department Head. The final score of the performance review is a 3. The Department Head recommends that Employee A receive an additional PPA of 0.5 percent in addition to the annual COLA, resulting in a 3.5 percent increase for Employee A in 202 6, if the employee receives training in a certain field or skill related to their position by July 1st. This means Employee A would receive two (2) wage increases in 2026 – 3.0 percent on January 1 st, then an additional 0.5 percent increase on July 1st. EMPLOYEE: 2025 wage - $20.00 per hour, Jan-Jun 2026 wage - $20.60 per hour (3 percent increase), Jul – Dec 2026 - $20.70 per hour (an additional 0.5 percent increase for a total 3.5 percent increase) RECOMMENDED MOTION To approve Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) of three (3) percent and Performance Pay Adjustment (PPA) of up to 1 (one) percent, as presented, for FY2026.

The fees and costs for the Services and Products will be invoiced to Customer as per the attached quote, subject to the Price Adjustment and Additional User Fee. The prices are exclusive of all sales, use, or excise taxes, or any similar taxes, which taxes shall be paid by Customer.

In the event that the Bureau no longer publishes the CPI, a comparable index reasonably accepted in the industry will be used. If the aggregate Price Adjustment is greater of than a five percent (5%) annual increase over the prior year, we will provide you written notice of price changes at least sixty (60) days prior notice to the applicable Service Term and, if you do not wish to renew the applicable SOW and our MSA due to the Price Adjustment, you must notify us within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice of our Price Adjustment If you request an additional user during any Service Term, the cost and fees associated with the additional user shall be in addition to the fees and costs for Services and Products per this SOW and the attached quote (the “Additional User Fee”).

For clarity, you can add users, but you cannot remove users during the Service Term. Prorated fees may apply based on the dates of changes to counts. All Additional User Fees and associated costs will be quoted at the time of the request to add the additional user(s). If you request an additional device during any Service Term, the cost and fees associated with the additional device shall be in addition to the fees and costs for Services and Products per this SOW and the attached quote (the “ Additional Device Fee ”). The Additional Device Fee cannot be reduced below the initial contracted SWO during the Service Term, even if your number of devices is lower than initially contracted. Prorated fees may apply based on the dates of changes to counts. All Additional Device Fees and associated costs will be quoted at the time of the request to add the additional device(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right to adjust our fees from time to time to maintain appropriate pricing for the Services based on count of users, devices, and other provided Products (an “Interim Price Adjustment”). We will provide you written notice of an Interim Price Adjustment at least thirty (30) days prior to such adjustment taking effect and, if you do not wish to renew the applicable SOW and our MSA due to the Interim Price Adjustment, you must notify us within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice of our Interim Price Adjustment.

If you request additional Products or if additional Products are necessary for a new user or to meet a Minimum Requirements, the cost of such Products and the labor to install and/or support such Products are not included in this SOW and shall be an additional fee to you. All additional Products and associated costs (including labor costs) will be quoted at the time of the request to add the additional user(s) and/or to add the additional Product, and this SOW will be updated to reflect such changes.
