INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
City Council
City of Monona, Wisconsin
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Monona, Wisconsin (the
City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial
statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of
contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City, as of December 31, 2025,
and the respective changes in financial position, and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the
budgetary comparison for the General Fund and the budgetary comparison for the Community
Recreation Service Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America (GAAS) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the City and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue
as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently
known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a
material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the
aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such
procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is
expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate,
that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a
reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related
matters that we identified during the audit.

Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that management’s
discussion and analysis and the schedules relating to pensions and other postemployment benefits be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of
management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial
reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical
context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with GAAS, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing
the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our
inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic
financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information
because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or
provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The financial information listed in the table of
contents as supplementary information is presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management
and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to
prepare the basic financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including
comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records
used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, the identify supplementary
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
September 17, 2026, on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on
our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements
and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal
control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That
report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in
considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

City of Monona, Wisconsin
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
(5)
As management of the City of Monona, Wisconsin, we offer readers of the City’s basic financial statements this
narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.
Financial Highlights
The City’s assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of resources as of
December 31, 2025 by $34.8 million (net position). Total net position includes all infrastructure of the government
unit.
The City’s total net position increased by $5 million.
As of December 31, 2025, the City’s governmental activities reported combined ending fund balances of $11.5
million, an increase of $4.4 million in comparison with the prior year.
As of December 31, 2025, unassigned fund balance for the general fund was $3.2 million or approximately 39.1%
of total general fund expenditures. The general fund balance increased $1.1 million during 2025.
Overview of the Basic Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s
basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-wide financial statements, 2) fund
financial statements, and 3) notes to the basic financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary
information and required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-wide financial statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers
with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities and deferred outflows and
inflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may
serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of
activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent year. All changes in
net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows . Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by
taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a
significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges ( business-type activities). The governmental activities of
the City include general government, public safety, public works, health and human services, culture and recreation,
and conservation and development. The business-type activities of the City include the City’s water, sewer, and
stormwater utilities and the mass transit operation.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 15 - 17 of this report.
Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources
that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the
City can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as
well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in
evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements.
It is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the
long-term impact of the City’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to
facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains 29 individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund
balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the
general fund, general debt service fund, general capital project fund, and community recreation service fund, all of
which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 25 governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of
combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general, certain special revenue, debt service and capital project
funds. As part of the basic governmental fund financial statements, budgetary comparison statements have been
provided for the general fund and community recreation service fund to demonstrate compliance with the budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18 - 22 of this report.
Proprietary funds. The City uses only enterprise funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions
presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to
account for its water, sewer and stormwater utilities and its mass transit operations.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only in more
detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separat e information for the water, sewer and stormwater utility
operations which are considered to be major funds of the City.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 23 - 28 of this report.
Notes to the basic financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the basic
financial statements can be found on pages 31 - 75 of this report.
Other information. Detailed budgetary comparison of the City’s general fund is reported as supplementary information.
Budgetary comparison of other funds adopting a budget follows the combining statements referred to earlier in
connection with nonmajor governmental funds presented immediately following required supplementary information.

By far the largest portion of the City’s net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings,
machinery and equipment, infrastructure, etc.) used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending.
Although, the City’s net investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot
be used to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they
may be used.

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds
As noted earlier, the City uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
Governmental funds. The focus of the City’s governmental funds is to provide information on near-term inflows,
outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the City’s financing
requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of the City’s net resources
available for spending at the end of the fiscal year.
As of December 31, 2025, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $9.7 million, a
decrease of $2.5 million in comparison with the prior year.
The general fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of the current year, unassigned fund balance of the
general fund was $3,165,056 while total fund balance was $3,428,116. As a measure of the general fund’s liquidity, it
may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund balance to total fund expenditures. Unassigned
fund balance represents 39.1% of total general fund expenditures, while total fund balance represents 42.4% of that
same amount.
The fund balance of the City’s general fund increased by $1,063,356 during the current year.
The general debt service fund is used to retire long-term debt related to governmental activities and annually levies
sufficient taxes to retire all obligations. The ending fund balance was $1,200,176, a decrease of $2,203,232 from the
prior year.
The General Capital Projects capital projects fund is used to finance project plan expenditures of the city. The ending
fund balance was $2,230,336, a decrease of $700,521 from the prior year.
Proprietary funds. The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information found in the City’s government-
wide financial statements, but in more detail.
Total net position of the City’s water utility at the end of the year amounted to $13,188,374 with $6,768,965 net
investment in capital assets, $664,908 restricted for debt retirement, and $5,754,501 as unrestricted. The fund
experienced an increase in net position of $398,172 from operations.
Total net position of the City’s sewer utility at the end of the year amounted to $4,706,064 with $3,152,936 net
investment in capital assets, $375,300 restricted for debt retirement, and $1,177,828 as unrestricted. The fund
experienced an increase in net position of $9,274 from operations.
Total net position of the City’s stormwater utility at the end of the year amounted to $5,368,915 with $5,640,786 net
investment in capital assets and ($271,871) as unrestricted. The fund experienced an increase in net position of
$181,249 from operations.
Total net position of the City’s mass transit utility at the end of the year amounted to $87,851 with $87,851 as
unrestricted. The fund experienced a decrease in net position of $30,395 from operations.
Other factors concerning the finances of these funds have already been addressed in the discussion of the City’s
business-type activities.

Total fund balances as shown on previous page 9,735,672$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net
Position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial
resources and therefore are not reported in the funds. 55,764,041
Other long-term assets are not available to pay current period
expenditures and therefore are deferred in the funds. 748,510
Some deferred outflows and inflows of resources reflect changes in
long-term liabilities and are not reported in the funds.

RECONCILIATION TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Net change in fund balances as shown on previous page (2,456,326)$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of
Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However,
in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is allocated over
their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital Assets Reported as Capital Outlay in Governmental
Fund Statements 2,559,438
Depreciation Expense Reported in the Statement of Activities (2,096,103)
Governmental funds do not present revenues that are not available to
pay current obligations. In contrast, such revenues are reported in the
Statement of Activities when earned. 37,908
Debt issued provides current financial resources to governmental funds,
but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net
Position. Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the
governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in
the Statement of Net Position.
Long-Term Debt Issued (7,395,000)
Premium on Debt Issued (522,477)
Principal Repaid 14,220,000
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require
the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as
expenditures in the governmental funds:
Accrued Interest on Long-Term Debt 18,277

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Monona, Wisconsin (the City), have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting principles and
policies utilized by the City are described below:
A. Reporting Entity
This report includes all of the funds of the City. The reporting entity for the City consists
of (a) the primary government, (b) organizations for which the primary government is
financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance
of their relationship with the primary government are such that their exclusion would
cause the reporting entity’s financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The
primary government is financially accountable if it appoints a voting majority of the
organization’s governing body and (1) it is able to impose its will on organization or
(2) there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or
burdens on the primary government. The primary government may be financially
accountable if an organization is fiscally dependent on the primary government. A legally
separate, tax exempt organization should be reported as a component unit of a reporting
entity if all of the following criteria are met: (1) the economic resources received or held
by the separate organization are entirely or almost entirely for the direct benefit of the
primary government, its component units, or its constituents; (2) the primary government
is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, a majority of the economic resources
received or held by the separate organization; (3) the economic resources received or
held by an individual organization that the specific primary government, or its component
units, is entitled to, or has the ability to otherwise access, are significant to that primary
government. The following component unit is included in the City’s financial reporting
entity.
Blended Component Units
The City has created a Community Development Authority under Section 66.4325 of the
Wisconsin Statutes to plan out community development programs and activities
approved by the Mayor and City Council. The Community Development Authority is
funded primarily by transfers from the City and is accounted for as a special revenue
fund. In addition, the Community Development Authority and City of Monona created
Renew Monona through the State of Wisconsin Tax Incremental District extension for
low-income housing. The purpose is to offer low interest loans to those purchasing or
residing in a home in the City to make substantial improvements.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City.
Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental
revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges for services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include
1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods,
services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and
contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary
funds. Governmental funds include general, special revenue, debt service and capital
projects funds. Proprietary funds include enterprise funds. The City reports no internal
service funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds
are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
This is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the
general government, except those accounted for in another fund.
General Debt Service Fund
This fund accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and
interest on long-term general obligation debt of governmental funds.
General Capital Projects
This fund accounts for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities and other
project plan expenditures related to General Capital Projects
Community Recreation Service
This fund accounts for the community programs and services provided to the City and
other activities related to community recreation.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Water Utility Fund
This fund accounts for the provision of water services to City residents, public
authorities, and business entities.

B. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Sewer Utility Fund
This fund accounts for the provision of sewer collection and treatment services to City
residents, public authorities, and business entities. Sewer treatment services are
provided per agreement with Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District.
Stormwater Utility Fund
This fund accounts for the provision of stormwater management services to properties
within the City.
The City reports the following nonmajor governmental and enterprise funds:
Special Revenue funds account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other
than major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific
purposes.
Library
CATV
Solid Waste
Ambulance
Community Development Authority
Donations
Family and Medical Leave Act
Renew Monona
Room Tax
Debts Service funds account for the resources accumulated and payments made for
principal and interest on long-term debt.

external uses for goods or services, and must be used for activities which meet
certain debt or cost recovery criteria.
Mass Transit
Additionally, the City reports the following fiduciary fund:
Custodial Fund accounts for property taxes and specials collected on behalf of
other governments.
C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund
financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded
when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes
are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures
related to lease liabilities, compensated absences and claims and judgments, are
recorded only when payment is due.

CITY OF MONONA, WISCONSIN
NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025
(35)
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
C. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Revenues susceptible to accrual include intergovernmental grants, intergovernmental
charges for services, public charges for services and interest. Other revenues such as
licenses and permits, fines and forfeits and miscellaneous revenues are recognized
when received in cash or when measurable and available.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges
between the City’s water, sewer, and stormwater utility functions and various other
functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating
items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and
producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing
operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s proprietary funds are charges
to customers for services. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the costs of
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources, as they are needed.
D. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or
Fund Balance
1. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments are combined in the financial statements. Cash deposits
consist of demand and time deposits with financial institutions and are carried at
cost. Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be
received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all cash deposits
and highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three
months or less from date of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents.

2. Property Taxes and Special Charges Receivable
Property taxes and special charges consist of taxes on real estate and personal
property and user charges assessed against City properties. They are levied during
December of the prior year and become an enforceable lien on property the following
January 1. Property taxes are payable in various options depending on the type and
amount. Personal property taxes and special charges are payable on or before
January 31 in full. Real estate taxes are payable in full by January 31 or in two equal
installments on or before January 31 and July 31. Real estate taxes not paid by
January 31 are purchased by the County as part of the February tax settlement.
Delinquent personal property taxes remain the collection responsibility of the City.
Special charges not paid by January 31 are held in trust by the County and remitted
to the City, including interest, when collected by the County.
3. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable have been shown net of allowance for uncollectable accounts of
$373,141 in the Ambulance Fund.
4. Interfund Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual
funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are
classified as “due from other funds” and “due to other funds” in the fund financial
statements.
The amount reported on the statement of net position for internal balances
represents the residual balance outstanding between the governmental and
business-type activities.
5. Inventories
Inventories are recorded at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-
out method. Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The
cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual inventory items are
expensed in the periods benefited.
Inventories of governmental funds in the fund financial statements are classified as
nonspendable fund balance to indicate that they do not represent spendable
available financial resources.

6. Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors that will benefit periods beyond the end of the current
fiscal year are recorded as prepaid items and are expensed during the periods
benefited.
Prepaid items of governmental funds in the fund financial statements are classified
as nonspendable fund balance to indicate that they do not represent spendable
available financial resources.
7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets,
are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in
the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as
assets with an initial, individual cost of at least $1,000 for property, plant and
equipment and $250,000 for infrastructure assets and an estimated useful life in
excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Governmental Business-Type
Activities Activities
Assets
Land improvements 10-50 20-100
Buildings and improvements 20-50 33-84
Machinery and equipment 3-50 7-40
Infrastructure 40-50 0
Years
8. Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the government-wide and
proprietary fund statements consists of leave that has been used that is attributable
to services already rendered, accumulates and is more likely than not to be use for
time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. The liability
also includes amounts for leave that has been used for time off but has not yet been
paid in cash or settled through noncash means and certain other types of leave.

9. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflows of resources are a consumption of net position by the government
that is applicable to a future reporting period. Deferred inflows of resources are an
acquisition of net position by the government that is applicable to a future reporting
period. The recognition of those outflows and inflows as expenses or expenditures
and revenues are deferred until the future periods to which the outflows and inflows
are applicable.
Governmental funds may report deferred inflows of resources for unavailable
revenues. The City reports unavailable revenues for special assessments. These
inflows are recognized as revenues in the government-wide financial statements.
10. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary funds in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of
the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as
incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.

11. Leases
The City is a lessor for space usage.
Lessor
The City determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases are included in
lease receivables and deferred inflows of resources in the statement of net position
and fund financial statements.
Lease receivables represent the City’s claim to receive lease payments over the
lease term, as specified in the contract, in an exchange or exchange-like transaction.
Lease receivables are recognized at commencement date based on the present
value of expected lease payments over the lease term. Interest revenue is
recognized ratably over the contract term.
Deferred inflows of resources related to leases are recognized at the
commencement date based on the initial measurement of the lease receivable, plus
any payments received from the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease
term that relate to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of,
the lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term.
The deferred inflows related to leases are recognized as lease revenue in a
systematic and rational manner over the lease term.
Amounts to be received under residual value guarantees that are not fixed in
substance are recognized as a receivable and an inflow of resources if (a) a
guarantee payment is required and (b) the amount can be reasonably estimated.
Amounts received for the exercise price of a purchase option or penalty for lease
termination are recognized as a receivable and an inflow of resources when those
options are exercised.
The City recognizes payments received for short-term leases with a lease term of
12 months or less, including options to extend, as revenue as the payments are
received. These leases are not included as lease receivables or deferred inflows on
the statements of net position and fund financial statements.
The individual lease contracts do not provide information about the discount rate
implicit in the lease. Therefore, the City has elected to use their incremental
borrowing rate to calculate the present value of expected lease payments.

Lessor (Continued)
The City accounts for contracts containing both lease and nonlease components as
separate contracts when possible. In cases where the contract does not provide
separate price information for lease and nonlease components, and it is impractical
to estimate the price of such components, the City treats the components as a single
lease unit.
12. Pensions
Wisconsin Retirement System
The fiduciary net position of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) has been
determined using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and accrual
basis of accounting. This includes for purposes of measuring the following:
Net Pension Liability (Asset),
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related
to Pensions,
Pension Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary net position of the WRS and additions to/deductions
from WRS’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they
are reported by the WRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of
employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Defined Contribution Pension Plan
The City contributes to the Service Award Program (SAP), a defined contribution
pension plan, for its volunteer firefighters, first responders and emergency medical
technicians. SAP is administered by Penflex, Inc. and UBS Financial Services, Inc.
The City determines annually the amount it will contribute on behalf of each
individual in the program. Participants are fully vested to receive a service award
once he or she attains 15 years of service for a municipality and paid a service
award upon reaching age of 60. A participant who has discontinued providing eligible
service after performing a minimum 10 years of service shall be partially vested and
may elect to receive a partial service award at any time after reaching age 53.
Nonvested accounts are forfeited if the individual ceases to perform creditable
service for a period of 12 months or more and distributed equally among all other
open accounts sponsored by the participating municipality at the time of the
forfeiture.

13. Other Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
The fiduciary net position of the Local Retiree Life insurance Fund (LRLIF) has been
determined using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and accrual
basis of accounting. This includes for purposes of measuring the following:
Net OPEB Liability (Asset),
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related
to OPEB,
OPEB Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary net position of the LRLIF and additions to/deductions
from LRLIF’s fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they
are reported by the LRLIF. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of
employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
14. Fund Equity
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the
nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The
following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints
placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:
Nonspendable Fund Balance. Amounts that are not in spendable form (such as
inventory, prepaid items, or long-term receivables) or are legally or contractually
required to remain intact.
Restricted Fund Balance. Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes
by external parties (such as grantor or bondholders), through constitutional
provisions, or by enabling legislation.

Governmental Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
Committed Fund Balance. Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes
by action of the City Council. These constraints can only be removed or changed
by the City Council using the same action that was used to create them.
Assigned Fund Balance. Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes by
action of the City management. The City Council has not authorized any
positions to assign fund balance. Residual amounts in any governmental fund,
other than the General Fund, are also reported as assigned.
Unassigned Fund Balance. Amounts that are available for any purpose.
Positive unassigned amounts are only reported in the General Fund.
The City has not adopted a fund balance spend-down policy regarding the order in
which fund balance will be utilized. When a policy does not specify the spend-down
policy, GASB Statement No. 54 indicates that restricted funds would be spent first,
followed by committed funds, and then assigned funds. Unassigned funds would be
spent last.
Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets. Amount of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation, and capital related deferred outflows of resources less outstanding
balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and
any capital related deferred inflows of resources.
Restricted Net Position. Amount of net position that is subject to restrictions
that are imposed by 1) external groups, such as creditors, grantors, contributors
or laws or regulations of other governments or 2) law through constitutional
provisions or enabling legislation.
Unrestricted Net Position. Net position that is neither classified as restricted nor
as net investment in capital assets.

E. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Accounting Changes
Change in Fund Presentation from NonMajor to Major
The Community Recreation Service Fund previously did not meet the criteria to be report
as a major governmental fund. However, effective January 1, 2025, the fund now meets
the criteria to be reported as a major fund and is reported as such for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2025. There is no effect of this change to or within the financial
reporting entity as the fund has a fund balance of zero as of January 1, 2025.
NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP AND COMPLIANCE
A. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
basic financial statements:
1. During October, City management submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the calendar year commencing the following January 1. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. After
submission to the governing body, public hearings are held to obtain taxpayer
comments. Following the public hearings, the proposed budget, including authorized
additions and deletions, is legally enacted by City Council action.
2. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for governmental funds. Budget is defined
as the originally approved budget plus or minus approved amendments. Individual
amendments throughout the year were not material in relation to the original budget.
Budget appropriations not expended during the year are closed to fund balance
unless authorized by the governing body to be forwarded into the succeeding year’s
budget.
3. During the year, formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control
device for the governmental funds adopting a budget.
4. Expenditures may not exceed appropriations provided in budget accounts
maintained for each activity or department of the City. Amendments to the budget
during the year require initial approval by management and are subsequently
authorized by the City Council.

funds. Encumbrances outstanding at year-end are reported as reservations of fund
balance and do not constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments
will be honored during the subsequent year.
B. Excess of Expenditures Over Budget Appropriations
General Fund expenditures exceeded budget by $181,965 for the fiscal year ended

D. Property Tax Levy Limit
Wisconsin state statutes provide for a limit on the property tax levies for all Wisconsin
cities, villages, towns, and counties. For the 2025 and 2026 budget years, Wisconsin
Statutes limit the increase in the maximum allowable tax levy to the change in the City’s
January 1 equalized value as a result of net new construction. The actual limit for the
City for the 2025 budget was (0.45)%. The actual limit for the City for the 2026 budget
was 1.36%. Debt service for debt authorized after July 1, 2005 is exempt from the levy
limit. In addition, Wisconsin Statutes allow the limit to be adjusted for the increase in
debt service authorized prior to July 1, 2005 and in certain other situations.

A. Cash and Investments
The City maintains various cash and investment accounts, including pooled funds that
are available for use by all funds. Each fund’s portion of these accounts is displayed on
the financial statements as “Cash and Investments”.
Invested cash consists of deposits and investments that are restricted by Wisconsin
Statutes to the following:
Time deposits; repurchase agreements; securities issued by federal, state and local
governmental entities; statutorily authorized commercial paper and corporate
securities; and the Wisconsin local government investment pool.
The carrying amount of the City’s cash and investments totaled $36,330,544 on
December 31, 2025 as summarized below:
Petty Cash and Cash on Hand 2,320$
Deposits with Financial Institutions 35,298,290

Total 36,330,544$
Fair Value Measurements
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy
established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the
valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant observable
inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The City currently has no
investments that are subject to the fair value measurements.

Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to
recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of
another party. Wisconsin Statutes require repurchase agreements to be fully
collateralized by bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government or
its instrumentalities. The City does not have an additional custodial credit policy.
Deposits with financial institutions within the State of Wisconsin are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the amount of $250,000 for the
combined amount of all time and savings deposits and $250,000 for interest-bearing and
noninterest-bearing demand deposits per official custodian per insured depository
institution. Deposits with financial institutions located outside the State of Wisconsin are
insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for the combined amount of all deposit
accounts per official custodian per depository institution. Also, the State of Wisconsin
has a State Guarantee Fund which provides a maximum of $1,000,000 per public
depository above the amount provided by an agency of the U.S. Government. However,
due to the relatively small size of the State Guarantee Fund in relation to the Fund’s total
coverage, total recovery of insured losses may not be available. This coverage has been
considered in determining custodial credit risk.
As of December 31, 2025, none of the City’s deposits with financial institutions were in
excess of federal and state depository insurance limits. No amounts were collateralized.
Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wisconsin Statutes limit investment
in securities to the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. Presented below is the actual rating as of the year-end for each
investment type.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The investment policy of the City contains no limitations on the amount that can be
invested in any one issuer. At December 31, 2025, the City had no investments in any
one issuer (other than U.S. Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment
pools) that represent 5% or more of total City investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City does
not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of
managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments to market
interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of
the City’s investments by maturity:

Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool
The City has investments in the Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool of
$674,265 at year-end. The LGIP is part of the State Investment Fund (SIF), and is
managed by the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. The SIF is not registered with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, but operates under the statutory authority of
Wisconsin Chapter 25. The SIF reports the fair value of its underlying assets annually.
Participants in the LGIP have the right to withdraw their funds in total on one day’s
notice. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of the City’s share of the LGIP’s assets was
substantially equal to the carrying value.

G. Pension Plan
1. Plan Description
The WRS is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. WRS
benefits and other plan provisions are established by Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin
Statutes. Benefit terms may only be modified by the legislature. The retirement
system is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds
(ETF). The system provides coverage to all eligible State of Wisconsin, local
government and other public employees. All employees, initially employed by a
participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, and expected to work at least
1200 hours a year (880 hours for teachers and school district educational support
employees) and expected to be employed for at least one year from employee’s date
of hire are eligible to participate in the WRS.
ETF issues a standalone Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which can be
found at http://etf.wi.gov/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-and-statements.
Additionally, ETF issued a standalone Wisconsin Retirement System Financial
Report, which can also be found using the link above.
Vesting
For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990, and no longer
actively employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years
is required for eligibility for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990
and on or after April 24, 1998, and prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested.
Participants who initially became WRS eligible on or after July 1, 2011, must have
five years of creditable service to be vested.
Benefits Provided
Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupations and 62 for
elected officials and e xecutive service retirement plan participants if hired on or
before December 31, 2016), if hired on or before December 31, 2016 are entitled to
a retirement benefit based on a formula factor, their final average earnings, and
creditable service.
Final average earnings is the average of the participant’s three highest earnings
periods. Creditable service includes current service and prior service for which a
participant received earnings and made contributions as required. Creditable service
also includes creditable military service. The retirement benefit will be calculated as a
money purchase benefit based on the employee’s contributions plus matching
employer’s contributions, with interest, if that benefit is higher than the formula
benefit.

G. Pension Plan (Continued)
1. Plan Description
Vested participants may retire at or after age 55 (50 for protective occupations) and
receive an actuarially-reduced benefit. Participants terminating covered employment
prior to eligibility for an annuity may either receive employee-required contributions
plus interest as a separation benefit or leave contributions on deposit and defer
application until eligible to receive a retirement benefit.
The WRS also provides death and disability benefits for employees.
2. Postretirement Adjustments
The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity payments from the
retirement system based on annual investment performance in accordance with s.
40.27, Wis. Stat. An increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when
investment gains (losses), together with other actuarial experience factors, create a
surplus (shortfall) in the reserves, as determined by the system’s consulting actuary.
Annuity increases are not based on cost of living or other similar factors. For Core
annuities, decreases may be applied only to previously granted increases. By law,
Core annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the original, guaranteed
amount (the “floor”) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity adjustments
granted during recent years are as follows:
Core Fund Variable Fund

3. Contributions
Required contributions are determined by an annual actuarial valuation in
accordance with Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The employee required
contribution is one-half of the actuarially determined contribution rate for general
category employees, including teachers, and executives and elected officials.
Starting on January 1, 2016, the executives and elected officials category was
merged into the general employee category. Required contributions for protective
employees are the same rate as general employees. Employers are required to
contribute the remained of the actuarially determined contribution rate. The employer
may not pay the employee required contribution unless provided for by an existing
collective bargaining agreement.
During the year ending December 31, 2025, the WRS recognized $701,378 in
contributions from the City.
Contribution rates for the reporting period are:
Employee Category Employee Employer
General (Including Teachers, Executives and
Elected Officials) 6.95 % 6.95 %
Protective with Social Security 6.95 % 14.95 %
Protective without Social Security 6.95 % 18.95 %
4. Pension Assets Liabilities, Pension Expense (Revenue), and Deferred Outflows
of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At December 31, 2025, the City reported an liability of $691,305 for its proportionate
share of the net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of
December 31, 2024, and the total pension liability used to calculate the net pension
liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2023 rolled
forward to December 31, 2024. No material changes in assumptions or benefit terms
occurred between the actuarial valuation date and the measurement date. The City’s
proportion of the net pension liability was based on the City’s share of contributions
to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all participating employers. At
December 31, 2024, the City’s proportion was 0.04207157%, which was an increase
of 0.00101105% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the City recognized pension expense of
$924,030.

5. Actuarial Assumptions (Continued)
Actuarial assumptions are based upon an experience study conducted in 2024 that
covered a three-year period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. Based on
this experience study, actuarial assumptions used to measure the total pension
liability changed from the prior year, including seniority (merit) and separation rates.
The total pension liability for December 31, 2024 is based upon a roll-forward of the
liability calculated from the December 31, 2023 actuarial valuation.
Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets. The long-term expected rate of
return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in
which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,
net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major
asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of
return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and
best estimates of geometric real rates of return for each major asset class are
summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Long-Term
Expected Expected Real
Current Asset Nominal Rate Rate of
Allocation % of Return % Return %
Core Fund Asset Class
Public Equity 38 % 7.0 % 4.3 %
Public Fixed Income 27 % 6.1 3.4

International Equities 30 % 7.4 4.7
Total Variable Fund 100 % 6.9 % 4.2%
New England Pension Consultants Long-Term U.S. CPI (Inflation) Forecast: 2.6%
Asset allocations are managed within established ranges, target percentages may differ from actual
monthly allocations.
The investment policy used for the Core Fund involves reducing equity exposure by leveraging lower-
volatility assets, such as fixed income securities. Currently, an asset allocation target of 12% policy
leverage is used, subject to an allowable range of up to 20%.

5. Actuarial Assumptions (Continued)
Single Discount Rate. A single discount rate of 6.8% was used to measure the total
pension liability, for the current and prior year. The discount rate is based on the
expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.8% and a municipal bond
rate of 4.08% (Source: “20-Bond GO Index” is the Bond Buyer Index, general
obligation, 20 years to maturity, mixed quality as of December 31, 2024. In
describing this index, the Bond Buyer notes that the bonds’ average quality is
roughly equivalent to Moody’s investors Service’s Aa2 rating and Standard and
Poor’s Corp.’s AA). Because of the unique structure of WRS, the 6.8% expected rate
of return implies that a dividend of approximately 1.7% will always be paid after
reflecting known changes in the Market Recognition Account. For purposes of the
single discount rate, it was assumed that the dividend would always be paid. The
projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that
plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that
employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between
actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these
assumptions, the pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available
to make all projected future benefit payments (including expected dividends) of
current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to
determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Asset to
Changes in the Discount Rate. The following presents the City’s proportionate
share of the net pension asset calculated using the discount rate of 6.8%, as well as
what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension asset would be if it were
calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.8%) or
1-percentage-point higher (7.8%) than the current rate:

Benefits Provided
The LRLIF plan provides fully paid up life insurance benefits for post-age 64 retired
members and pre-65 retirees who pay for their coverage.
Contributions
The Group Insurance Board approves contribution rates annually, based on
recommendations from the insurance carrier. Recommended rates are based on an
annual valuation, taking into consideration an estimate of the present value of future
benefits and the present value of future contributions. A portion of employer
contributions made during a member’s working lifetime funds a postretirement benefit.
Employers are required to pay the following contributions based on member
contributions for active members to provide them with Basic Coverage after age 65.
There are no employer contributions required for pre-age 65 annuitant coverage. If a
member retires prior to age 65, they must continue paying the member premiums until
age 65 in order to be eligible for the benefit after age 65.

Actuarial assumptions are based upon an experience study conducted in 2024 that
covered a three-year period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. The total
OPEB liability for December 31, 2024 is based upon a roll-forward of the liability
calculated from the January 1, 2024 actuarial valuation.
Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets. The long-term expected rate of return is
determined by adding expected inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting
expected volatility and correlation. Investments for the LRLIF are held with Securian, the
insurance carrier. Interest is calculated and credited to the LRLIF based on the rate of
return for a segment of the insurance carriers’ general fund, specifically 10-year A-Bonds
(as a proxy, and not tied to any specific investments). The overall aggregate interest rate
is calculated using a tiered approach based on the year the funds were originally
invested and the rate of return for that year. Investment interest is credited based on the
aggregate rate of return and assets are not adjusted to fair market value. Furthermore,
the insurance carrier guarantees the principal amounts of the reserves, including all
interest previously credited thereto.

Single Discount Rate. A single discount rate of 4.09% was used to measure the total
OPEB liability for the current year, as opposed to a discount rate of 3.32% for the prior
year. The change in the discount rate was primarily caused by the increase in the
municipal bond rate from 3.26% as of December 31, 2023 to 4.08% as of December 31,
2024. The Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be insufficient to make all
projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive members. Therefore, the
discount rate for calculating the Total OPEB Liability is equal to the single equivalent rate
that results in the same actuarial present value as the long-term expected rate of return
applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is
projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit payments, and the municipal bond
rate applied to benefit payment to the extent that the plan’s fiduciary net position is
projected to be insufficient. The plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be
available to make projected future benefit payments of current plan members through
December 31, 2037.
The projection of cash flows used to determine the single discount rate assumed that
employer contributions will be made according to the current employer contribution
schedule and that contributions are made by plan members retiring prior to age 65.
Sensitivity of the City’s Proportionate Share of Net OPEB Liability (Asset) to
Changes in the Discount Rate. The following presents the City’s proportionate share of
the net OPEB liability (asset) calculated using the discount rate of 4.09%, as well as

The City has established separate capital projects funds for Tax Incremental District
(TID) No. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 which were created by the
City in accordance with Section 66.1105 of the Wisconsin Statutes. At the time the
District was created, the property tax base within the District was “frozen” and increment
taxes resulting from increases to the property tax base are used to finance District
improvements, including principal and interest on long-term debt issued by the City to
finance such improvements. The Statutes allow eligible project costs to be incurred up to
five years prior to the maximum termination date. The City’s Districts are still eligible to
incur project costs.
Since creation of the above Districts, the City has provided various financing sources to
the TID. The foregoing amounts are not recorded as liabilities in the TID capital project
fund but can be recovered by the City from any future excess tax increment revenues.

B. Risk Management
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the
government carries commercial insurance. The City completes an annual review of its
insurance coverage to ensure adequate coverage. A description of the County’s risk
management programs is presented below:
Property and Liability Insurance
The WMIC is an intergovernmental cooperation commission created by contract under
Section 66.30 of the Wisconsin Statues. It was created in August 1987 for the purpose of
facilitating the organization, establishment and capitalization of the CVMIC, and has
numerous cities and cities as members.
The CVMIC is a municipal mutual insurance company established on September 19,
1987 under Section 611.23 of the Wisconsin Statues. The CVMIC provides liability
insurance coverage to the cities and cities which make up the membership of the WMIC.
The CVMIC is self-insured up to a maximum of $2,000,000 of each insurance risk.
Losses paid by CVMIC plus administrative expense will be recovered through premiums
to the participating pool of municipalities. The City’s share of such losses is
approximately .36%. Claims paid during the year were not material.
Management of each organization consists of a board of directors or officers comprised
of representatives elected by each of three classes of participants based on population.
The City does not exercise any control over the activities of the agencies beyond the
election of the officers and board.
Financial statements of WMIC and CVMIC are available from: Cities and City Mutual
Insurance Company, 1250 South Sunnyslope Road, Suite 105, Brookfield, WI 53005.
The initial investment in WMIC is refundable upon withdrawal from the commission and
has been reported at the original amount of $210,000 on the general fund balance sheet
as a restricted asset with corresponding nonspendable fund balance.
The City pays an annual premium to the mutual for its general liability insurance, which
provides coverage up to $5,000,000 per occurrence, less the City’s retained liability. The
City’s retained liability is limited to $25,000 per occurrence and an annual aggregate limit
of $100,000. Payments to WMIC for current year insurance coverage are reflected in the
general operating statements of the various funds. Claims payable and claims incurred
but not report (IBNR) is not material.

B. Risk Management (Continued)
Property and Liability Insurance (Continued)
The City has also purchased commercial insurance policies for various risks of loss
related to torts; theft, damage or destruction of assets; errors or omissions; injuries to
employees; or acts of God. Payments of premiums for these policies are recorded as
expenditures or expenses in various funds of the City.
For each of the City’s risk categories, there have been no significant reductions in
insurance coverage in comparison to the prior year. Also, the amount of insurance
settlements for each of the City’s risk categories has not exceeded insurance coverage
for each of the past three fiscal years.
Upon dissolution, the City would be entitled to a lump sum payment from CVMIC that
may vary significantly from the amount of its deposit referred to above, based on the
then financial condition of CVMIC.
C. Contingencies
From time to time, the City is party to other various pending claims and legal
proceedings. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be forecast with certainty, it
is the opinion of management and the legal counsel that the likelihood is remote that any
such claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the City’s financial
position or results of operations.
D. Subsequent Events
On March 16, 2026, the City issued $3,150,000 in General Obligation Promissory Notes,
Series 2026A. Principal of the bonds will be payable annual starting 2028 through 2035
at an interest rate of 5%.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Mayor and City Council
City of Monona, Wisconsin
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental
activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information
of City of Monona, Wisconsin (the City), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial
statements, and have issued our report thereon dated September 17, 2026.
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal
control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a
timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control
that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified.
Page 129 of 220
Mayor and City Council
City of Monona, Wisconsin
(121)
Report on Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free from
material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on
the financial statements. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not
an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of This Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

and has submitted a Renew Monona Loan application requesting $75,000.00 from the Major Home
Rehab category (the “Application”) to conduct the following improvements to the existing residence
(the “Project”):
Complete the construction of a new single-family home on the Property. Current condition
includes a foundation which was completed before the previous project was paused.
Per the Application, the proposed total cost of improvements is $525,000.00 with the loan request of
$75,000.00. The Applicant provided cost estimates for the work, which are included as Attachment 4
in the meeting packet.
Staff Review of Eligibility Criteria:

$331,500.00 as of 01/01/2025.
3 Assessed Property Value less than or
equal to 120% of Median Assessed Value
Yes TAV of $331,500.00 is less
than the 120% of the median
assessed value of residential
properties of $563,400.00 as of
01/01/2025. Foundation only.
4 Applicant to maintain at residence for at
least 2 Years after Project
Yes The Applicant indicated that
they will remain at the
residence for at least 2 years
after the improvements are
completed.
5 Proposed Improvements are to Primary
Structure
Yes The proposed improvements
are to the main structure.
6 Proposed improvements are eligible uses
of Program Loan Funds
For discussion The applicant applied for the
Major Home Rehab program,
which includes the “addition of
or significant improvement to
living space”. Please note that
program materials state that
“tear-downs” are not eligible
uses of program funds. The
CDA may choose to consider
the existing nature of the
foundation and the unusual
circumstances that exist in this
case. The requested loan
Page 132 of 220
2
amount is the maximum loan
amount for the program.
7 Proposed improvements will increase the
assessed value of the home.
Yes The proposed single-family
home will increase assessed
value.
8 Proposed improvements will improve the
attractiveness of the home and the

Financing the Project:
The Applicant has indicated that they plan to use a combination of funds from their retirement
account and their divorce settlement to finance their portion of the Project ($450,000.00+), assuming
that the City approves the full 50% loan amount. Assuming the requested loan amount is approved,
work is scheduled to begin shortly after approval. If the loan were not to be approved, it would cause
financial hardship to the Applicant who would need to apply for a higher interest loan for this portion
or possibly delay the Project.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends CDA review and discussion of the application materials, eligibility requirements,
and to make a recommendation on what, if any, loan amount should be provided for this Project.
Performance Criteria Staff Comments
A
Proposed improvements are well chosen,
are an appropriate use of loan funds, and
fulfill an obvious need for the housing
structure.
The proposal aligns with the Renew Monona loan
program description to rejuvenate existing and
aging housing stock to make it more attractive to
buyers.
B
Improvements are long-lasting and will
enhance the quality of the home for years
to come.
The project scope is well thought out, and will be
constructed to a high quality. The Project will
complete the construction of a new single-family
home providing an updated residence on the
Property.
C
Proposed improvements will increase the
energy efficiency of the home.
The Project includes two zone duct system,
enhanced insulation levels in exterior walls,
energy efficient windows and doors and plans to
use energy efficient lighting throughout the
house.
D
The home where proposed improvements
will occur is in an area in need of
improvements or is in an identified
preference area. This may include
accessibility improvements or additions
allowing the applicant to age in place.
The former structure was demolished, with the
proposed Project to include an upgraded new
single-family home in approximately the same
location.
