November 10, 2025
Dear President Moore and Members of the Common Council,
The 2026 Budget is the result of an open and collaborative process between the City Council and Administration.
Together, we strive to provide strategic city services and community partnerships that enhance the quality of life
for our residents by reducing crime, increasing affordable housing opportunities, and facilitating community
investment. These efforts depend on strong partnerships and our shared commitment to working toward common
goals.
Across all departments and functions, we have an obligation to our residents and businesses to continue
delivering excellent services. Accordingly, the 2026 Budget includes the following high-priority items that enhance
and improve our service delivery.
1. Property Tax Rate – The 2026 Budget will decrease the City’s assessed tax rate by $2.65 per $1,000 of
assessed value which is a 26.55% decrease.
2. Property Tax Levy - The City’s tax levy increased $630,653 or 4.78%. Under state law, the levy is allowed to
increase 4.23%, plus increased debt service requirements. This levy increase is less than the maximum
permitted under state law.
3. Budgeted Expenditures – Budgeted General Fund expenditures for 2026 are $20,706,263 – an increase of
4.7%. This allows the city to continually qualify for the State Expenditure Restraint Program Aid. The City
has qualified every year since the inception of the program.
4. General Fund Balance – Our General Fund Balance is projected to be $6,135,563 on December 31, 2025.
This fund balance exceeds the Council objective of $5,176,566 at year end, which allows the City to
continue to receive excellent bond rating resulting in lower interest rates when issuing future debt.
Keeping the fund balance at 30% operating is optimal in the credit industry.
5. Level of Service and Capital Improvements – The 2026 Capital Improvement Program will see
investments in our community to provide long lasting, positive effects and spur urban growth.
In 2026, we continue to invest in our trail network by extending the Kakalin Trail behind the Kaukauna
Public Library.
At Strassburg Park, some new playground equipment and basketball court were recently installed. The
open-air shelter, Gaga pit and baseball backstop are anticipated to be completed in early Spring.
Repurposed play equipment from Haen School, generously provided by the Kaukauna Area School District,
further enhanced this neighborhood park. This fall, we will seek proposals to redesign LaFollette Park,
including restroom upgrades and resurfacing of the basketball court and parking lot.
City staff continue to collaborate with the Kaukauna High School Civic Engagement Class on the Grignon
Park Project, which includes expanding the pavilion, adding a tow rope to the Mount Misery sledding hill,
and creating an ice rink. We are also evaluating a multi-use stage or pavilion at Central or Hydro Park to
further support community gatherings and events. I remain committed to improving and maintaining our
city parks to provide exceptional recreational opportunities and vital green spaces for all residents.
Our 2026 CIP also includes $10,370,000 in major infrastructure investments — including new concrete
street paving, street and alley reconstruction, sanitary and storm sewer upgrades, and the replacement of
defective sidewalks. These projects reflect our continued commitment to maintaining the essential
infrastructure that supports a high quality of life in Kaukauna.
6. Economic Development - The Commerce Crossing Business Park continues to thrive. The final phase of
the five-building Legacy Creekside Apartment complex will be completed later this year, adding 35
additional units to our much-needed housing stock. In total, we estimate 131 new dwelling units will be
built by December 31, 2025.
On October 20th, we celebrated the opening of the highly anticipated GrandStay Hotel, a 4-story, 76-room
facility within Commerce Crossing. We also anticipate closing this fall on The Reserve, an independent,
assisted living, and memory care facility, with construction expected to begin this winter.
In 2026, we plan to update our zoning code to support potential data center development, continue
developing the remaining lots in Commerce Crossing and N.E.W. Prosperity Center, and explore industrial
park expansion through annexation.
7. Statements on Budget – As a city, we continue to lead with resilience, guided by fiscal responsibility and
transparency. I am extremely proud of our leadership team for preparing another thoughtful and fiscally
responsible budget that meets the Council’s priorities while honoring the trust placed in us by our
residents.
New or reclassified positions in the 2026 budget include:
Human Resource Coordinator – Supporting citywide staffing, compliance with State and Federal laws, and
employee engagement.
Account Specialist (Accounts Receivable) – Transitioning from part-time to full-time to strengthen internal
controls and support Finance and Clerk operations.
Assistant Library Director – Enhancing leadership capacity, expanding programming, and ensuring
continuity as the library grows.
Parks Foreman – Providing dedicated oversight for parks, trails, and facilities as the city expands,
including maintenance, event coordination, and contractor management.
My ongoing focus is to anticipate the long-term needs of our city and make decisions that benefit
Kaukauna’s future. The 2026 Budget reflects this unwavering pledge to deliver the highest caliber of
service to every resident and business.
Looking ahead, we will continue to balance fiscal responsibility with the City Council’s priorities — ensuring
strong public safety, reliable essential services, sound infrastructure, and vibrant community programs
that make Kaukauna a truly exceptional place to live.
Sincerely,
Anthony J. Penterman
Mayor, City of Kaukauna

CITY OF KAUKAUNA
2026 BUDGET
EARLY HISTORY OF KAUKAUNA
Located along the Fox River in southeastern Outagamie County, the area immediately adjacent
to the falls at Kaukauna was the site of considerable indigenous settlement and activity. A large area on
both the southeast and northwest sides of the Fox River at Kaukauna is recorded in the Archaeological
Sites Inventory as the vicinity of a large village site occupied by the Menominee tribe and other groups.
Likewise, effigy burial mounds and numerous archaeological sites are spread out along the river valley.
The rapids at Kaukauna necessitated portaging and became a natural gathering place for trade
along the Fox River. As part of the Fox River’s 170-feet drop in elevation from Neenah and Menasha to
Green Bay, 138 feet of the drop occurred in the nine miles of river between Appleton and Kaukauna. The
area had many names, including Kakalin, Cacolin, Cau Caulin, Kackaloo, Grand Kaukaulin, the Grande
Coquiller Rapides, and Kaukauna, all derived from an approximation of the Menominee word meaning
“the gathering place of the pickerel.”
Fur trappers Charles de Langlade and Pierre Grignon established a semi-permanent trading post
in the Kaukauna vicinity as early as the 1760s to engage with the local Menominee population, who
occupied a village of an estimated 1,500 people on the south side of Fox River. In 1790, Dominique
Ducharme, son of French fur trader Jean Ducharme, built a substantial log house at “Cacalin” and started
trading with the local tribes. The land Dominique acquired in 1793 is the first known recorded land deed in
the state of Wisconsin.
The third French settler, Augustin Grignon, w
as born in La Baye, presently Green Bay, in 1780
into a family of successful French-Indian, or Métis, trappers, traders, and leaders, specifically among the
French settlers and Native American tribes. He moved from Green Bay to Kaukauna in 1813, purchasing
much of the Ducharme property, and married his wife, Nancy McCrea, around 1800. Nancy was the
daughter of a Scottish fur trader and a Menominee woman from Green Bay. The Grignon’s can be
identified as Métis, and these important ties lent to their success in the region. From the late eighteenth
century through the 1830s, Métis people, a cultural and ethnic mix of indigenous and French people, were
a dominant cultural and economic force in the Great Lakes region.
T
he population in Kaukauna increased with the arrival of the Stockbridge tribe in 1822, an east
coast Mohican tribe who fought with the United States during the War of 1812 and the Revolutionary War.
The Stockbridge moved to northeastern Wisconsin following land cession treaties with the Menominee
and Ho-Chunk.
Known today as the Stockbridge Munsee Band of Mohican Indians, prominent tribe member
Electa Quinney became the first female teacher in what would become the state of Wisconsin. The
school, located in Kaukauna, was free and open to any denomination of religion. The addition of the
Stockbridge to the area also brought notable Revolutionary War Veterans Jacob Konkapot Jr. and
Captain Hendrick Aupaumut to Kaukauna. By 1830, the Stockbridge-Munsee had largely adopted Anglo-
American customs, lived in log houses, and raised corn, wheat, and livestock on large farms. However, a
series of American treaties beginning in 1831 resulted in the departure of the Stockbridge from the
Kaukauna area.

EARLY HISTORY OF KAUKAUNA
Charles A. Grignon, Augustin’s eldest son, married Mary Elizabeth Meade in 1837 and soon
constructed a large house, known as the Grignon Mansion or “The Mansion in the Woods,” closer to the
river on the property of his father. Charles had a close relationship with local tribes, particularly the
Menominee, given his ancestry, familiarity with the language, and business connections. He served as
an interpreter on many treaties and business decisions, including the 1836 Treaty of the Cedars , in which
the Menominee tribe ceded four million acres to the U.S. government. The treaty opened the area around
Kaukauna and the lower Fox River Valley to general settlement through the United States territorial land
office, causing the area to change swiftly. An influx of Yankee settlers altered the economy from fur
trading and the Fox River waterway to farming, logging, and permanent communities . The military road
along the south shore of the Fox River and the first dam north along the river at De Pere were completed
in 1837.
George W. Lawe settled in Kaukauna in 1839, opened a trading post, and established a farm. In
1842, Lawe was appointed Justice of the Peace by territorial Governor Doty, an office he held for almost
fifty years. He directed the first platting of the town in 1850 and built the first bridge across the Fox River
at Kaukauna in 1851, which led to the development of a small community.
The falls at Kaukauna eventually presented an obstacle for transportation that led to the
construction of a series of canals and locks in 1856. The infrastructure allowed larger steamboats to
replace the flat-bottomed Durham boats that dominated river traffic in the 1830s and 1840s. The
construction of the system also provided a boon to the local economy.
The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad reached Kaukauna in 1862, and industry thrived. By
1870, Kaukauna boasted two large flour mills, two large factories making staves for flour barrels, the
Diedrich sawmill, and the Reuter Brothers spoke factory, which did business in hardwood logs and
railroad ties. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad line north of the river joined the Milwaukee
Lakeshore and Western Railroad in 1872.
In 1872, Colonel Henry A. Frambach and his brother John Stoveken opened the first paper mill in
the City of Kaukauna, the Eagle Paper and Flouring Mill, on the site of Stoveken and Henry Hewitt’s 1867
flour mill that was destroyed by a fire. Soon after the mill’s start, Frambach became the second producer
of wood pulp in the state and the first to manufacture wood pulp paper.
The second railroad boom of the 1880s brought Irish and German workers to the area. These
workers created the south side Village of Ledyard. In 1881, Milwaukee Lakeshore and Western Railroad
relocated its district office from Manitowoc to Kaukauna's south side. Company housing for the railroad
workers developed in the south-central area of Kaukauna.
The American Pulp Company was established in 1883, becoming the Thilmany Pulp and Paper
Company in 1889. The company was known for its diversified and innovative paper products, including
the first tissue paper manufactured in Wisconsin, produced in 1885.

EARLY HISTORY OF KAUKAUNA
In 1885, the Village of Ledyard joined with the north side to form the City of Kaukauna. The
1880's railroad developments coincided with the creation of new waterpower canals to supply Kaukauna
industry. The construction of five municipal hydroelectric generating plants gave Kaukauna its nickname,
"The Electric City."
Today, the City of Kaukauna is a growing and prosperous community of just over 16,000
residents. Rich in natural resources and beautiful landscapes, the riverfront city of Kaukauna combines
traditional Midwestern values with a history of progressive moves – from free education to clean energy –
that protect and enhance the long-term health of the community for generations to come.

2. Continually evaluate existing municipal services to determine if these services are effective and
conducted in the most efficient manner.
The 2026 budget provides the necessary funds to continue to contract for Ambulance Billing services. It
also provides funds to improve the Phone tree, update the council chambers AV/Audio and meeting
software as well as roll out an intranet site. All other municipal services remain unchanged from the prior
year.
3. Pay the full cost of current services with current revenues and avoid borrowing for operating expenses.
The 2026 budget does not include borrowing for any operational expenses; however, several pieces of
equipment with useful lives of ten years or more are planned for in the capital improvement budget.
4. Maintain a property tax and user charge structure that provides an attractive environment for citizens,
business and industry within Northeastern Wisconsin.
The City, through its municipally owned electric utility, has the lowest electrical rates in northeastern
Wisconsin.
The sanitary sewer user rate was increased from $8.00 to $8.75 per hundred cubic feet effective July 1,
2023. This rate is budgeted to remain the same for budget year 2026.
The storm sewer utility rate was increased from $126 per ERU per year to $132 per ERU per year
effective January 1, 2025. This rate is budgeted remain the same for budget year 2026.
The assessed tax rate for the City is projected to decrease by $2.65 or 26.55%. The assessed tax rate for
the City and the overlapping municipal tax jurisdictions is projected to decrease 28.32%.

BUDGET POLICIES
5. Provide an adequate level of reserve funds to provide for unforeseen needs, fiscal emergencies,
establish adequate security for bondholders and mitigate the need for short- term financing.
In January 2025, the City Council adopted a revised fund balance policy that requires the general fund
balance to be at least 25% of the operating budget. The total projected fund balance of $6,135,563 meets
the City Council directive. This projected balance is considerably more than the City Council directive.
twenty five percent (25%) of the 2026 budget of $20,706,263 equals $5,176,566. Cash reserves more
than City Council directive will be used to address future economic growth opportunities in the
community. The fund balances for the past five years have exceeded the targeted balance. This has
mitigated the City’s need to issue short-term revenue anticipation notes. It also assists in the lower bond
interest rates as bond rating companies look for 30% of operating budget in reserves.
6. Develop and maintain a fiscal planning and budgeting system which anticipates underlying economic
change and provides for planned, orderly year-to-year changes to property tax and service levels. Such a
system would also respond to unanticipated events in order to avoid fiscal crisis or severe municipal
service disruptions.
Five year planning has been considered for the general operating fund. There is planning in place for
capital projects and debt service planning. Related summary schedules are in the debt service and
capital projects sections.
7. Maintain financial accounting and budgetary practices that provide for full and open disclosure of the
City's financial affairs.
Management has developed the 2026 budget document in conformance with national Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA) presentation guidelines. Conformance with these standards
provides reasonable disclosure of financial plans of the City.
8. Long-term debt will be used in moderation so as not to impose an excessive burden on future
Kaukauna taxpayers.
The City’s general obligation debt is 60.0% of the allowable legal limit as of December 31, 2025.
However, approximately 17.0% of the allowable legal limit is the result of debt incurred in Tax Incremental
District Nos. 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and the environmental remediation TIF district. The tax Incremental debt is
expected to be repaid with tax increments and as such will not be placed on the general tax levy.

CITY OF KAUKAUNA
2026 BUDGET
FINANCIAL PROGRAM SUMMARY
As required by law, the proposed budget for 2026 is balanced and provides for the needs and requirements of the
City. The budget for 2026 is the result of sound financial management and affords a reasonable measure of
protection for future operations of our City. The budget is adopted at the departmental level as identified in
schedules that are attached to the budget adoption resolution. Therefore, resolutions authorizing budgetary
adjustments are only required for budgetary adjustments between departments.
ACCOUNTING BASIS
The City of Kaukauna uses the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this accounting method, revenues are
recognized in the accounting period in which they become available and measurable. Available means collectible
within the current accounting period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current
accounting period. Expenditures are recognized in the accounting period in which the fund liability is incurred, if
measurable, except for unearned interest on long-term debt, which is recognized when due.
BUDGETARY BASIS
All the funds in this budget document are prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting, except for interest
expenditures in the debt service where unearned interest is budgeted when due. All of the following funds, which
are included in this budget document, are funded in part by the property tax levy except the Capital Projects and
Redevelopment Funds.
General Fund - This fund is the primary operating fund for the City of Kaukauna. It accounts for most of the
services provided to city residents such as police, fire, sanitation, street maintenance, building inspection,
planning, zoning, engineering, recreation, public library, 1000 Islands Environmental Center, Grignon Mansion,
and sewerage system.
General Debt Service Fund - This debt service fund accounts for all the debt service requirements of the City
including Tax Incremental District Numbers 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and the Environmental Remediation TIF District No. 1.
The primary source of revenue is the property tax levy and repayment of special assessment projects that were
constructed with general obligation bond proceeds.
Capital Project Fund - These schedules reflect the activity of all the capital project funds with the exception of
the Industrial Park Development Fund and the Park Development Fund. The primary source of revenue for this
fund is proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt.
Redevelopment Fund - The information provided assists the user in determining the cumulative scope of
redevelopment projects that may be possible during the proposed budget year. This is a revolving loan fund
whose initial source of funds was block grant funds.
Special Assessment / Debt Service Stabilization Fund - This is a special revenue fund that receives its
revenue from the repayment of special assessments such as street and sidewalk improvements. The City
borrows for these assessable improvements. This fund accounts for the repayment of special assessments and
transfers monies to the general debt service fund to offset debt service payments that resulted from borrowing for
assessable projects.

2026 BUDGET
FINANCIAL PROGRAM SUMMARY
Storm Water Utility – This enterprise fund was created in July 2009 to account for the costs associated with
complying with State and Federal regulation relative to the quality of storm water that is discharged into local
waterways. The revenue for this fund will be derived from an equivalent storm water runoff unit charge that will be
placed on the monthly utility bill.
Sanitary Sewer Utility – This is an enterprise fund that was created beginning January 1, 2012 to account for
sanitary sewerage treatment system costs. The schedules in this section summarize the activities involved in
operating a sanitary sewer collection system and the cost of sewerage treatment by the Heart of the Valley
Metropolitan Sewerage District.
FINANCIAL FRAMEWORK
Major Revenue Sources - The importance of sound revenue estimates cannot be overstated. Revenue
estimates have been carefully analyzed and in the areas where some fluctuations are typical, a conservative
approach has been used. This budget contains three major sources of revenue: property taxes, intergovernmental
revenues and sewerage system user fees. The property tax levy, which accounts for approximately 40.9 % of
General Fund revenue, is budgeted to increase 4.6%. The tax levy increase is primarily the result of increased
cost in services provided. The budgeted levy increase complies with current levy limit legislation. This legislation
allows the levy to increase by the percent increase in net new construction, 4.23%, for the City of Kaukauna plus
any increase in general obligation debt payments. Typically the property tax levy absorbs most of the fluctuations
in other funding sources. Intergovernmental revenue, that account for approximately 27.4% of all general fund
revenue, is budgeted to increase $315,815 or 5.88%.
Debt Service Requirements - Since 1993, the total outstanding debt has risen while the long-term debt as a
percent of the legal limit has decreased to approximately 60.0%. It is the goal of management to maintain long-
term debt in maturity terms of ten years or less. Approximately 17.0% of the current outstanding debt is the result
of debt incurred in Tax Incremental District Nos. 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and the Environmental Remediation Tax
Incremental District No. 1. The tax incremental debt is expected to be repaid with tax increments and as such will
not be placed on the general tax levy. Projected debt service requirements for 2026 and the next several years
are going to continue to decrease steadily. The goal is to have the necessary debt level off to make the budgeting
and tax rate more static.

CITY OF KAUKAUNA
2026 BUDGET
FINANCIAL PROGRAM SUMMARY
Capital Projects Impact - The 2026 Capital Projects Budget will require the issuance of approximately
$5,000,000 of general obligation long-term debt. The five-year Capital Improvement Program plan will require
future debt issues of approximately $5,300,000 per year. The analyses in the debt service and capital project
sections of this document indicate this is a manageable five-year plan.
Fund Balance - The General Fund balance is projected to be $6,135,563 as of December 31, 2025. One of the
budget policies is to provide adequate levels of reserve funds to mitigate the need for short -term financing to meet
operational expenses. The City does not anticipate short-term financing in 2026 since general fund balance
exceeds the year-end target of $5,176,566. Excellent progress has been made in this area since December 31,
1992 when the fund balance in the General Fund was $374,864 and the City needed to borrow short -term funds
for operations.
General Fund Revenues - The general fund revenue budget is projected to increase $949,395 or 4.8%. The
property tax component increased $374,982 or 4.6%. Typically, the property tax component will generally
increase faster than total revenues if one or more of the following situations exist; user fees are not increased,
new user fees are not implemented, other revenue sources decrease or remain the same, or there is a significant
reduction in interest earned on investments.
In lieu of taxes from the City owned electric and water utilities is based on the current tax rate and the value of
utility property in the City. This revenue source is also likely to fluctuate, as the tax rate fluctuates due to changes
in State law. In 2026, this tax represents 9.7% of total general fund revenue sources. This tax source is budgeted
to decrease slightly in 2026. The tax rate and book value of the assets in the city limits is what drives this
revenue. There are many variables that go into the calculation that makes it difficult to project accurately.
Intergovernmental revenues are expected to increase $315,815. State shared revenue and expenditure restraint
are budgeted to also increase $101,451 this year. The State highway aids are budgeted to increase $190,217.
This revenue source contains an element of uncertainty since shared revenue is often a topic at the State level
when the discussion turns toward tax relief or when the State is experiencing difficult economic times.
General Fund Expenditures - The City has settled labor contracts with the International Association of Fire
Fighters AFL-CIO Kaukauna Local 1594 for the 2025 budget. Negotiations remain strong with the Kaukauna
Professional Police Association unit as we work towards an agreement for the 2026 budget.
The 2026 general fund expenditure budget of $20,706,263 increased $949,395 or 4.8%. Even with this increase,
the City will continue to qualify for State expenditure restraint program funds. The expenditure restraint program
will provide approximately $426,431 in revenues for 2026.
SUMMARY
The financial future of the City of Kaukauna appears to be very stable. The citizens have shown a willingness to
fund the current level of quality services when needed and financial management practices remain frugal. The
most important budgetary objective should be to provide the highest possible level of service to our citizens without
impairing the City's sound financial condition. To accomplish this objective, existing City programs and services
must continually be evaluated to determine if they are meeting the needs of the residents, effectively and
conducted in the most efficient manner. This budget continues that commitment.

2026 BUDGET
BUDGET PROCESS
The preparation of the budget is a complex process. The process allows for the opportunity to review the
accomplishments of the current year and establish new goals for the upcoming year.
T
he budget document is an annual plan of estimated expenditures and the proposed means of financing
them. It is the method by which the City delivers its services and programs to the residents for the fiscal year
beginning January 1 through December 31.
P
reparation of the budget begins in mid-July when the six-month actual results are prepared and
distributed to department heads along with budgetary request forms for the ensuing year.
U
sing the City-wide and departmental goals and objectives as their guide, department heads are asked to
estimate their expenditures for the remainder of the year and submit budget requests and mission statements for
the upcoming year. Budget requests are returned to the Finance Department in mid- September. The Finance
Department then calculates all the related benefits and returns a completed copy of departmental budget requests
to the department heads by late September.
I
n late September budget conferences are held. In attendance at budget conferences are the Mayor, the
Finance Director and the department heads. It is during these conferences that any adjustments to departmental
requests are discussed and made. This process continues until a balanced budget is achieved.
By
mid-October final budget adjustments have been made, and the Mayor's proposed budget is prepared
and available for distribution. In early November, a public hearing is held on the Mayor's proposed budget. The
Committee of the Whole reviews the Mayor's proposed budget and then recommends to the City Council that the
proposed budget be adopted.
I
n mid-November, the budget is adopted by the City Council. The adopted budget is then printed and
distributed. After adoption, the budget becomes a control mechanism by which to measure the resources
expended to the meet the approved objectives.
A
ny budget updates must be adopted in resolution form by the City Council and published in a local
newspaper.
T
he budget timetable for the 2026 budget process appears on the following page.

CITY OF KAUKAUNA
2026 BUDGET
REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
There are three primary sources of tax revenue for the City. Property tax, which includes tax on real
estate and personal property, is the largest and most significant revenue source. Property tax represents
77.95% of all budgeted taxes and 40.94% of all general fund revenue sources budgeted. The property tax
levy is budgeted to increase $374,982 or 4.6% for 2026. There is also a State program that rewards
municipalities for controlling expenditures by providing additional State aids. The City has consistently
qualified for this aid and is expected to do so again this year.
The second tax revenue source is the payment on lieu of taxes from the City’s electric and water utilities.
This payment is based on the current tax rate and the value of utility property in the City. As the tax rate
fluctuates due to changes in State law related to funding education, this revenue source is also likely to
fluctuate. In 2026, this tax represents 9.66% of all general fund revenue sources. This tax source also
funds the Redevelopment Authority lease payment for the City Hall and Police Department building.
The third tax revenue is the County Sales Tax of 0.5%. The budget amount for this tax source is
$229,500 for 2026.

REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
Intergovernmental revenues are comprised of state shared revenue, state fire insurance dues, state law
enforcement grants, state highway aids, county aids and local school district subsidy of the City’s
Environmental Center. The graph above shows a consistent trend upward with this aid.
The largest of the intergovernmental revenues is state shared revenue. This revenue source has per
capita, aid able revenue and expenditure restraint components. Shared revenue accounts for 50.7% of
all intergovernmental revenues in the general fund and 13.9% of all general fund revenues. State shared
revenue is budgeted to increase slightly for the 2026 budget. This revenue source is very sensitive to
political adjustments by the State Legislature; therefore, property tax is often viewed as the most likely
source of additional revenues. Continuation of and changes to this revenue source has been the subject
of considerable debate in the State Legislature during the past years.
The next largest source of intergovernmental revenue sources is state highway aids which is budgeted at
$1,539,267 for 2026 and accounts for 7.4% of all general fund revenue sources. This source is expected
to have a significant increase of $190,217 or 14.1% when compared to 2025.
The State’s current commitment to reducing taxes and the state of the economy are likely to have some
lingering negative effects on state revenues to municipalities in the future. The other intergovernmental
revenue sources are relatively small and likely to see modest growth in future years.

CITY OF KAUKAUNA
2026 BUDGET
REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
The City of Kaukauna finances special assessment projects such as street improvements, sanitary sewer
mains and laterals, water mains and sidewalk replacement primarily by issuing long-term debt.
A resolution established in 2015 allows for all special assessments to be repaid within a ten-year period.
This revenue stream is used to repay the debt that was used to finance the projects initially. The amount
of assessable work that is done on a yearly basis can vary greatly. Beginning in 2013, the City was
constructing few assessable projects therefore budgeted revenues are decreasing. Due to the uncertain
nature of this revenue source, the City will utilize a decreasing amount of special assessment monies to
offset the required tax levy in debt service funds. These monies are accounted for in a special revenue
fund referred to as the Special Assessment Fund.

REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
Other revenue sources consist of regulation and compliance revenues, charges for service other than
sewer user fees, use of property and money and operating transfers. Some of the smaller components
within this revenue source such as building permits, police fines, swimming pool user fees and interest on
investments are heavily influenced by external factors. The remaining components of other revenue
sources are primarily related to user fees and license fees.

REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
The City established a separate Sanitary Sewer Utility effective January 1, 2012, to account for all
sanitary sewer system operations. This utility’s revenues are structured to recover annual operating costs
while maintaining adequate reserves for system sustainability and capital improvements.
Several years ago, a substantial rate increase was implemented to support the City’s share of costs
associated with a major plant expansion at the Heart of the Valley Metropolitan Sewerage District
(HOVMSD). Since that expansion, treatment costs have remained relatively stable.
The current sewer user volume rate is $8.75 per 100 cubic feet, which became effective July 1, 2023, and
will remain unchanged for the 2026 budget year.
As part of the annual budget process, the sewer rate is reviewed to ensure that revenues are sufficient to
meet all operating and debt obligations. Additionally, bond covenants require the Utility to maintain a
minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times annual revenues. Should operating results or debt coverage
fall below required thresholds, an adjustment to the sewer rate will be recommended.

REVENUE COMPARISON BY REVENUE SOURCE
The C
ity established a Storm Sewer Utility in 2009, with the first user rate implemented in 2010, to fund
and account for the construction and maintenance of mandated stormwater quality improvements and
retention facilities. The Utility’s revenue is set at a level sufficient to recover annual operating costs and
maintain adequate reserves to ensure long-term system sustainability.
Rev
enue increased significantly during the Utility’s initial three years due to system expansion and
regulatory compliance efforts but has remained relatively stable since 2013. The current Equivalent
Residential Unit (ERU) rate was most recently adjusted to $11.00 per ERU per month, effective January
2025, and is projected to remain unchanged for the 2026 budget year.
Si
nce inception, the storm sewer system and the associated operational and maintenance responsibilities
have continued to grow, resulting in gradual increases in operating costs over time.
As
part of the annual budget process, the storm sewer rate is reviewed to verify that revenues are
sufficient to meet all operational and debt service obligations. In addition, bond covenants require the
Utility to maintain a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.25 times annual revenues. If operating performance
or debt coverage falls below required levels, a rate adjustment will be recommended.

SUMMARY OF LONG-TERM DEBT PRACTICES, POLICIES,
AND FUTURE PROJECTIONS
Historical Perspective: The City of Kaukauna has historically used general obligation debt to
finance all of its capital improvements until 2013. In 2013 the City started to issue revenue
bonds to finance utility projects. The schedule on page 5-3 displays each bond note by the
funding source to repay each note. The schedule on page 5-4 indicates that all the current
long-term debt will mature within the next 10 years. The exception to this is the utility and lease
revenue bonds will mature within 20 years. The City has historically issued long-term debt in
maturities of ten years or less for General Obligation issues.
P
age 5-5 shows the City’s outstanding long-term debt and percent of legal debt limit. It is also
considerably less than it was as of December 31, 2012. Long term general obligation debt rose
considerably from 2002 to 2012 primarily as a result of the purchase and development of
industrial park property, development of a downtown TID, acquisition of Fox Valley Greyhound
Park for redevelopment and to meet the infrastructure demands of a growing community. From
the concerted efforts to reduce outstanding general obligation debt since 2013 allowed the City
to address space needs deficiencies within municipal facilities in 2015-2020. The ability of the
City to pay off long-term debt has remained strong over the past five years as shown on Page 5-
6 since tax incremental district debt and industrial park related debt is serviced by land sales
and tax incremental revenues. This schedule shows that the net Levy needed to pay debt has
been on a downward trend for the past several years.
The gr
aph on Page 5-6 depicts a downward trend with the overall City Debt limit, giving the city
more borrowing power if needed for future projects. Page 5-6 also graphically illustrates the
historical trend of tax incremental debt and all other general obligation debt. In the past ten
years general obligation debt excluding tax incremental financing debt has been between 15.4%
and 34.7% of the City’s legal debt limit. At the end of 2025, general obligation debt excluding
tax incremental financing debt is expected to decrease based the cities equalized value growth
and consistent payment of debt each year.
The ov
erall general obligation debt including TID debt less debt service stabilization funds is at
60.0% of the legal limit at year end 2025. Based on planned capital improvements and debt
schedule payoff this is expected to continue its downward trend in 2026.
The s
chedule on page 5-7 shows that the net debt levied per capita and the debt subject to the
tax levy debt. The ratio of net levied debt to equalized value had decreased appreciably since
2011. In 2017 the City made some major capital improvement to the downtown facilities that
causes this to increase. Property valuation compared to debt is a very good indicator of the
City’s ability to satisfy its debt service requirements. Even with the sharp increase in 2020, the
city’s ability to satisfy debt remains strong. This ratio is expected to remain stable.
The s
chedule on page 5-8 indicates that the ratio of net general obligation debt to general fund
expenditures has remained constant since 2015. Although the ratio between debt service
requirements and general fund expenditures has increased from the Space Needs efforts, the
information on page 5-8 would suggest that this ratio will continue to increase modestly over the
next few years. This ratio is a good indicator that the City is not shifting operational type costs
over to long-term debt.
Page 5 - 1
Future Projections: The schedule on page 5-9 details the effect of anticipated future debt
service requirements. The footnotes indicate the estimated future long-term debt. The most
noteworthy column on this schedule is the column that indicates anticipated future tax levy
impacts (right-most column). Going forward the City plans on continuing to issue revenue
bonds for utility projects and finance special assessment projects with available funds to the
extent possible. This strategy will reduce the annual general obligation borrowing to an average
of $5,000,000 per year. Based upon the assumptions in this schedule, the City will continually
use levy dollars to pay down debt. With past efforts, the need for levy dollars to pay down debt
has leveled off and is expected to stay this way for the foreseeable future.

2026 BUDGET
CAPITAL PROJECTS SUMMARY
Historical Perspective: The City uses long-term debt to finance major equipment purchases such as
road graders, fire trucks and ambulances, which tend to have a significant impact on the operating budget
in the year purchased. The City also issues long-term debt to finance updates to Parks and Pools, Utility
Projects, Infrastructure, and buildings.
As the city grows the City’s debt capacity may also be used to address future development such as
Industrial parks.
The five-year capital projects schedule beginning on page 6-7 summarizes anticipated projects. It is also
anticipated that additional projects will be added or removed from years 2026 through 2030.
Future Perspective: The schedule on page 5-9 indicates consistent debt service requirements for the
foreseeable future and is based on $5,000,000 of new borrowing for General Infrastructure, Equipment
and buildings. Borrowing is expected to remain around the $3.5 - $5m per year. The market is great for
interest rates. If it makes sense, a recommendation to Council will be made to borrow more than one
years worth of projects to capitalize on the lower interest rates. With each new borrowing, the debt
service payments are structured to remain as level as possible from year to year to have the least amount
of impact on the levy.

STORM WATER UTILITY SUMMARY
The
City of Kaukauna created a Storm Water Utility in July 2009 to facilitate compliance with various
State and Federal regulations regarding the quality of storm water runoff and discharges. Since its
inception, the storm water utility is starting to mature with growing infrastructure and capital assets. The
city is continuously monitoring the financial metrics such as operating expense, depreciation, and debt
coverage ratio all while meeting the state and federal regulations.
T
he Storm water Utility is primarily funded by user fees in the form of an Equivalent Runoff Unit (ERU)
Rate. An ERU is the average impervious area of a single-family home. Impervious area refers to any
surface that does not allow the natural infiltration of water into the soil (examples include roofs, patios,
driveways, sidewalks, and pavement.). A Storm water utility fee is assessed for each ERU that a non-
residential property possesses. The ERU rate is budgeted to stay the same for the 2026 budget.
N
on-residential properties that have more property than an average residential home is charged one ERU
for every 2,944 sq. feet of impervious area of that property. The ERU is charged monthly. Each
residential property is charge one ERU per year. The monthly charge per home is $11.0 0/month effective
January 1, 2026.
I
n 2019, City Finance changed the way debt is being managed within this utility fund. Rather than having
a few smaller bond issues, the city began borrowing 3 years of project costs at one time. This will save on
issuance costs and to help better manage the debt coverage ratio. With the larger borrowing, it makes it
easier to manage the annual bond payments and monitor the ERU rate to ensure the rate is adequate to
the expenses of the Utility fund.

SANITARY SEWER UTILITY SUMMARY
The City of Kaukauna created a Sanitary Sewer Utility beginning in 2012 to more accurately account for
activities associated with sewerage collection and treatment, to establish a more accurate user charge
rate and to allow for the issuance of revenue bonds to finance utility projects. The current rate is $8. 75
per cubic feet. This rate was reviewed and changed in 2023 and is anticipated to remain flat for 2026
budget.
In 2019, City Finance changed the way debt is being managed within this utility fund. Rather than having
a few smaller bond issues, the city began borrowing 3 years of projects at one time to save on issuance
costs and to help better manage the debt coverage ratio. With the larger borrowing, it makes it easier to
manage the annual bond payments and monitor the user fee rate to ensure the rate is adequate to the
expenses of the Utility fund.
