To be approved 09/15/2026 Page 1 of 4 MEETING MINUTES 1) Call to Order The Park Board meeting was called to order by Chair Mark Miller at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. 2) Roll Call Present: Matt Leas, Andy Hoernemann, Alissa Rozner, Nico Ruotti, Judy Knutson, and Mark Miller. Absent: Jamie Frisch. Also Present: Director of Community Development Elise Cruz arriving at 5:01 p.m. and leaving at 5:48 p.m., Director of Public Works Lauren Striegl leaving at 5:29 p.m., Recreation and Programming Coordinator Liane Rhodes, Human Resources Coordinator/Deputy Clerk Peggy Haag, and two members of the public.

This part of the agenda allows members of the public to provide information to the Village Board, including items both on and off the agenda. Under the Open Meetings Law, this agenda item allows the Board to receive information, and to ask questions from a presenter to facilitate a better understanding of the information. Board members may discuss procedural matters relating to the information, such as whether the information should be directed to staff, referred to a committee, or placed on a future Park Board agenda. However, 3(a) To be approved 09/15/2026 Page 2 of 4 Board members may not expand their discussion beyond such procedural matters. Fifteen (15) minutes will be provided for this item with a three (3) minute maximum per speaker; otherwise, the agenda will proceed as posted. (This note may not be read at Board meetings.) Dan Schuman, a longtime village resident, recently wrote a letter to the editor, published in the Observer, concerning the enforcement of the park-closing ordinance at Lerner Park. He described being on the bike path parallel to Netherwood around 3:30 a.m. when a police officer told him he should be riding on the road rather than the bike path. Schuman noted that the ordinance has been in effect for 12 years, but said he had never previously been approached by police about riding on the path before 5 a.m. He believes requiring cyclists to use the road rather than the bike path undermines safety. He also described a previous incident in which he was pushed off the road and ultimately went to the UW emergency room. He is asking village officials to reconsider the closing policy, particularly for residents who use the early morning hours to exercise before work. 5) Reports of Village Officers a) Director of Public Works Report  The playground at Gary Disch Park has been installed.  The Bethel Green Acre Master Plan was approved by the Village Board without changes. The project is anticipated to be bid by the holidays.  The Alpine Parkway and Jefferson Street intersection is expected to be completed around the start of the school year. b) Director of Community Development Report. Update on Bike and Pedestrian Study Request for Proposals. Cruz reported that the Village of Oregon is working with MSA Professional Services on the Bike and Pedestrian Plan Study. A handout is being distributed at National Night Out, Sounds of Summer, Ready Set Go conferences in late August, and the Community Open House scheduled for September 16 from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at the Oregon Public Library. Staff will then conduct focus groups. The majority of public input will be collected through these events. All community members are welcome to participate. c) Recreation and Programming Coordinator Report. Update on Future Events. Rhodes reported that, due to weather-related cancellations, Sounds of Summer events will continue as Sounds of Fall, with Universal Sound scheduled for September 15, The Car Tunes on September 22, and All That Jazz Combo on September 29. Miller asked about the status of using the website for reservations. Rhodes stated that implementation is delayed because the Village is currently unable to accept credit card payments. Until this is resolved, reservations must be made through Liane Rhodes. 6) Unfinished Business (Items are for Discussion and/or potential action) a) Draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan Review Director Striegl reviewed the draft 2027–2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and noted few changes since the Park Board’s May review. The primary change was reorganizing the conservation park projects from a broad, phased approach into regional projects, as recommended by a consultant. The intent is to create more specific projects that To be approved 09/15/2026 Page 3 of 4 can be implemented efficiently and provide measurable benefits to residents. The estimated costs for the conservation park projects remained relatively unchanged. Striegl noted the CIP will have additional Village Board discussions, with the possibility of one more Park Board review before adoption. He encouraged the Board to raise any additional major projects for consideration. Leas suggested moving the Kiser Fireman Park project to 2028 due to the ongoing uncertainty regarding the future of the Old Village Hall. Cruz noted that a draft RFP is expected in the fall, but the process will take time. Leas said delaying the Kiser Fireman Park project could provide more flexibility once a decision is made. Regarding the Park Street connector, Striegl explained that the trail connection near the dog park is proposed to be incorporated into the planned 2031 Park Street reconstruction between Oak Street and Janesville Street. Combining the projects would avoid reconstructing the road and then having it impacted by construction related to the wastewater treatment plant. The connector would therefore no longer be listed as a separate project. Leas encouraged the Board to avoid getting ahead of projects where significant uncertainty remains and questioned the benefit of studying projects that do not have funding identified in the out years. He also supported completing the access key project as soon as possible for improved efficiency and security. Striegl noted the access key project is scheduled for 2027 and is also a Police Department request. Miller supported keeping Kiser Fireman Park in its current CIP timeframe, particularly with the planned Senior Center improvements and anticipated increased park use. He expressed disappointment that Scott Street Park improvements have been pushed out but understood the need to prioritize based on usage. Miller also supported the regional approach to the conservation park projects. Miller asked about the $25,000 playground surface maintenance allocation in 2027. Striegl explained that the funding is intended as a contingency for repairs to the newer solid playground surfaces. If not needed, the funds would be reallocated. Leas raised questions about future use and potential improvements to the skatepark and tennis courts, including whether they should be rebuilt or reduced, particularly with pickleball courts planned at the new Senior Center. He noted these uses should be evaluated as part of future planning. Striegl stated the CIP would be brought back to the Park Board for further review in September. 7) New Business (Items are for discussion and/or potential action) a) Proposed Rotary Club Lerner Park Bench and Bike Rack Installation and Rotary Trail Message Board Installation Projects (staff recommendation: motion to recommend to the Village Board approval as presented). Rich Strohmenger appeared on behalf of the Oregon Rotary Club and presented the club’s grant proposal. The Rotary Club would fund and provide labor for the proposed improvements, including a six-bike rack and bench near the Lerner Park entrance, a second bench near the shaded area of the park, and two message boards along the Rotary Bike Trail— one near Cusic Parkway and one near Fish Hatchery Road. To be approved 09/15/2026 Page 4 of 4 The bike rack is proposed in Patriot Blue to coordinate with area signage, although the color can be adjusted. The benches and bike rack would be installed on concrete pads. The message boards are proposed in green and would be used for trail updates and project information. The Rotary Club is considering the AH MCIP model with composite wood materials. Strohmenger noted that the Village does not currently have specific standards for bike racks or benches. Knutson asked whether “Oregon Rotary” could be added to the bench. Strohmenger said the club would look into the option and any associated cost. If finally approved, the project is expected to take approximately 8–12 weeks. Leas moved, seconded by Knutson, to recommend Village Board approval of the placement of two benches and a bike rack at Lerner Park and two message boards at the Rotary Trail. Motion carried 6-0. 8) Items for Future Meetings and Assignments. a) Announcements, comments, communications, upcoming meetings and events, and miscellaneous business. Park Board members may provide brief statements, but no discussion or action of the body shall occur. Knutson recalled past concerns regarding drinking in the park and noted that the park curfew was established in response. She asked whether a sign-in or registration process could be added to the Village website for residents using the park after hours. Before Striegl left, Cruz said Striegl suggested consulting with the Police Department regarding enforcement of park activities and whether a reasonable middle ground could be established. Leas questioned whether residents could notify the Police Department’s non- emergency line when planning to use the park after hours. Miller suggested that the Park Board could assist the Police Department in clarifying enforcement related to biking and e-bikes. He noted that proper lighting and visibility could help address safety concerns and expressed a desire to support consistent enforcement. Hoernemann recommended placing the matter on a future agenda for further discussion. Miller also shared that he had reserved Triangle Waterman Park and the Jaycee Pavilion for organizations and noted that the facilities were excellent and available for public reservation. b) Upcoming Meeting Dates: September 15 (please note this is the 3rd Tuesday of the month) and October 13. 9) Adjournment Hoernemann moved, seconded by Knutson, to adjourn the Park Board Meeting at 5:50 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18, 2026. Motion carried 6-0.

Assistant Director of Public Works Nick Haak has surveyed the parks and developed a tree removal plan, shown as Figure 1 on the following page. Areas outlined in pink below are heavily populated by volunteer tree overgrowth, including maple, poplar, and willow. These would be primary targets for removal. The area outlined in black, centered on Lerner Park, would see only spot removals of volunteer trees. The majority of trees targeted for removal are invasive species including poplar, willow, maple, buckthorn and/or honeysuckle. Removal of these plants is the first step in the multi-project West Side Conservation Parks Improvements effort scoped in the West Side Conservation Parks Master Plan, and is critical to providing native species in this park area the chance to thrive.

September 15, 2026 RE: Draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan Review UPDATE September 15, 2026: attached is the draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Village of Oregon. The 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP is based on the 2026 – 2035 Parks & Trails CIP, as described in the memorandum text below (originally from May 12, 2026). The draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP was presented to the Village Board on August 3 and 17 and September 8, 2026 as part of the overall 2027 – 2036 Village-wide CIP. One major change to the 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP presented to the Village Board relates to funding for the 2027 Bethel Greenacre Park Improvements project. Per the Village Board request, the funding source for that project has been adjusted to reflect $200,000 in funding from the Village’s Park Improvement Impact Fee fund. The overall total estimated cost of that project remains the same as before, and any amount over $200,000 will be borrowed. Staff is requesting that the Park Board review the 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP, and provide a recommendation to the Village Board regarding approval of this section. Should the Park Board prefer that any changes be made to this CIP section prior to Board consideration, staff recommends that the motion below be modified to reflect those specific changes requested. Recommended Motion: Motion to recommend to the Village Board approval of the 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan as presented. UPDATE August 18, 2026: attached is the draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Village of Oregon. The 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP is based on the 2026 – 2035 Parks & Trails CIP, as described in the memorandum text below (originally from May 12, 2026). The draft 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP was presented to the Village Board on August 3, 2026 as part of the overall 2027 – 2036 Village-wide CIP, and will be discussed further at future August and September 2026 Village Board meetings. In addition to the adjustments described below under “Potential Proposed Adjustments to the 2027– 2036 Parks CIP,” the primary change (relative to the 2026 – 2035 Parks & Trails CIP) included in the 2027 – 2036 CIP is a restructuring of the improvements proposed under the “West Side Conservation Parks Improvements” project series. The 2026 – 2035 Parks & Trails CIP separated work over the 10-year planning period by type, including restoration, pathway construction, restroom facility construction, etc. The 2027 – 2036 Parks & Trails CIP has been adjusted such that projects are grouped by area – Keller Alpine Park, West Side Park, Lerner / DiMaggio Park, etc. Specific proposed project components are included in the Project Worksheet, attached to this memorandum. This change was made to better estimate project costs, maximize resident benefit, and increase efficiencies in project planning and construction. Page | 2 Staff is seeking any feedback or guidance from the Park Board on their preferred priorities for the 2027– 2036 CIP. Park Board feedback may be used by staff to adjust the CIP, or directed to the Village Board as a formal recommendation from the Park Board as appropriate. In early May 2026, Village staff began the annual 10-Year Capital Improvement Planning effort for the 2027 – 2036 period. Prior to beginning this effort in earnest, Village of Oregon Public Works and Community Development staff are seeking Park Board guidance on preferred priorities for the Village’s parks and trails over the 10-year planning horizon. Approved 2026 – 2035 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) The Board-approved 2026 – 2035 CIP is attached to this memorandum for review. With the exception of the Park Street Connector Trail (Perry to Janesville) – TID 4 project (Parks – Trails), all projects and equipment programmed for 2026 in Parks (Parks, Equipment, and Trails) are currently on schedule to be purchased or completed in 2026 as planned. Final funding amounts (borrowing and funds on hand) for 2026 projects and equipment were approved in March and April 2026. When developing the annual 10-year CIP, staff generally starts with the previous year’s CIP as a base. Project estimates are updated based on the previous year’s actual construction costs and inflation predictions, and scheduling is adjusted where necessary to accommodate current priorities. Between September 2025 and today, staff has noted several likely changes and additions to the 2027 – 2036 CIP (relative to the 2025 – 2036 CIP). Those changes are briefly described below. Note that this list only includes needs already identified, and is not inclusive of all modifications that may be presented at the June Park Board meeting. Potential Proposed Adjustments to the 2027 – 2036 Parks CIP  New Project – Parks Facilities Access Control. This project would include the installation of electronic access control equipment at all publicly-accessible Village parks buildings, including the restroom facilities at Kiser Fireman’s Park, JayceeCommunity Park, and the Highlands of Netherwood Park. Currently, Village staff must lock and unlock these facilities manually, which takes significant staff time. In contrast, an electronic access control system could be programmed to automatically lock and unlock these facilities at certain times. An electronic access control system will increase efficiency for Village staff, and provide better security for Village infrastructure. Note that the concession stand and sports equipment storage shed at Jaycee Community Park are having this system installed in 2026 with the Public Works Garage Access Control project.  Kiser Fireman’s Park Master Plan. This project is programmed for 2032 in the 2026 – 2035 CIP. In the 2027 – 2036 CIP, staff will propose bringing this project forward to 2027. Downtown Oregon is currently undergoing or planning for several transformational projects, including the Senior Center reconstruction and the reuse of the old Village Hall building. These projects have highlighted a need to plan for complementary infrastructure in the “greater” downtown area, which includes Kiser Fireman’s Park. In addition, several of Kiser Fireman’s Park’s facilities, including the skate park, the tennis courts, and parts of the softball fields, have reached the end of their useful lives and require significant capital investment to be safely usable. Staff feels that the combination of these two factors make a Master Plan for Kiser Fireman’s Park an urgent need to support smart long-term growth in the Village’s downtown and parks system. Page | 3  Park Street Connector Trail (Perry to Janesville) – TID 4 project. As discussed above, this project was postponed from 2026. It will be included in the 2027 – 2036 CIP, but staff has not yet identified a proposed schedule. Staff is seeking any feedback or guidance from the Park Board on their preferred priorities for the 2027 – 2036 CIP. Over the month of May, staff will update the CIP based on new information and feedback provided, and will provide a draft 2027 – 2036 Parks CIP for review at the June Park Board meeting.

Netherwood Road, just north of the Highlands of Netherwood neighborhood. Please see the maps on the following pages for more information. Veridian’s plan for the land is to build the neighborhood across six phases, spanning several years of construction. The neighborhood would contain traditional front-loaded single familyhomes, single family homes on smaller lots with garages accessed through a private alley, and duplexes with garages accessed through a private alley. The total build out of the neighborhood would include 2 78 housing units, one pocket park, a trail system connecting the Highlands of Netherwood Park with the Rotary Trail, and several stormwater management ponds. The Village’s Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) shows a proposed Neighborhood Park in this generallocation, as well as a connection to the Rotary Trail. With any neighborhood plat and parkland dedication, the Village of Oregon municipal code charges the Park Board with reviewing proposed new parks proposed. Per the Village’s code, a land divider (developer) is required with the platand development agreementto dedicate either 1,101 square feet of land for parks per dwelling unit, and/or pay a “fee in lieu of parkland dedication” of $2,039.00 per dwelling unit. Based on the planned 278 dwelling units, Veridian would need to dedicate 306,078 square feet of parkland, or about 7 acres. Given the large amount of land in the development dedicated to stormwater management ponds, as well as the Highlands of Netherwood community-level park directly to its south, Veridian has proposed a small pocketpark in the middle of the Featherwood Trails plat. That proposed park is 25,058 sq ft, or around 0.6 acres. Since Veridian is not planning to meet their full parkland dedication requirement, they will have to pay the remainder of that requirement throughFees-in-Lieu of Parkland Dedication. The approximate amount of Fees- in-Lieu of Parkland Dedication owed by Veridian would be $519,945, which would likely be paid at the time of annexation and plat recording. Those fees are held in the Village’s Parkland Acquisition Fund, andmay be used in the future for the Village to purchase new land to be used as part of its park system. Those funds can not be used to improve/upgrade existing parks. The Parkland Evaluation Tool, along with the “Future Park Facilities” map from the Village’s 2024-2028 Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP), are attached on the following pages, along with Veridian’s plans. The Park Board should review this parkland proposal from Veridian and provide direction to the Village Board on its consistency with the CORP.

Staff and policy makers alike need a method of analyzing a site prior to making any formal determinations. Through the review of best practices, in addition to information provided by staff, the Park Board, Plan Commission, Village Board, and the public, the following Parkland Evaluation Tool was created. The tool uses different criteria to score a given site during the subdivision plat review process. It is recommended that this matrix be used in all future park or trail acquisition determinations at the Park Board or Plan Commission level. It is also recommended that the table be reevaluated and adapted on an annual basis to most accurately reflect the needs of Oregon as they change over time. Figure 7.10 presents each Evaluation Criteria and the Site Score associated with each attribute of the park or trail being proposed. F IGURE 7.10: PROPOSED PARKLAND EVALUATION TOOL Evaluation Criteria Scoring System 1 Identified on Map 3: Future Park Facilities and/or Chapter 7 or 8 0 = Parkland is not directly stated or inferred in Chapter 7/8 or on Map 3 10 = Parkland is not directly stated, but inferred in Chapter 7/8 or on Map 3 20 = Parkland is directly stated in Chapter 7/8 or on Map 3 2 Percentage of Constrained Lands (WisDNR wetlands and floodplains, steep slopes (greater than 12%), drainageways (75’ buffer around perennial streams or 50’ buffer around intermittent channels), and woodlands (combined 80% cover area)) 0 = Parkland consists of between 75%-100% constrained lands 10 = Parkland consists of between 25%-74% constrained lands 20 = Parkland consists of between 0%-24% constrained lands 3 Stormwater Retention 0 = Parkland is made up of between 75%-100% lands that will be used for on-site stormwater retention. 10 = Parkland is made up of between 25-74% lands that will be used for on- site stormwater retention. 20 = Parkland is made up of between 0-24% lands that will be used for on- site stormwater retention. 4 Accommodates Active Uses 0 = Parkland could only function for an entirely passive recreational use in the future. 8 = Parkland could accommodate some active recreational uses, but not enough space for at least one full size playfield. 15 = Parkland could function for both an active and passive recreational use in the future and can accommodate at least one full size playfield. 5 Meets a Service Area Gap (Map 2/Chapter 5) 0 = Parkland already covered by a service area in Map 2 5 = Parkland not covered by any service areas in Map 2 6 Provides a Connection to an Existing State, County, or Municipal Park or Trail 0 = Parkland will not connect to any future or planned State, County, or Municipal park or trail 5 = Parkland is an opportunity for a future connection or is directly adjacent to an existing or planned State, County, or Municipal park or trail 7 Addresses a Goal or Policy (Chapter 4) 0 = Parkland or future uses are not directly stated Chapter 4 5 = Parkland or future uses are directly stated in Chapter 4 8 Protects a Valuable Natural Resource (environmental corridor as shown on 0 = Parkland includes no land within an environmental corridor Chapter 7: Park Facility Recommendations 49 Evaluation Criteria Scoring System the Comprehensive Plan’s Natural Resource Map) 5 = Parkland is adjacent to or a portion of it resides in an environmental corridor 9 Provides an Amenity or Recreational Programming Opportunity Not Offered by the Village of Oregon 0 = No, the parkland or future use is already an existing Village of Oregon amenity or recreational program 5 = Yes, the parkland or future use is not an existing Village of Oregon amenity or recreational program The maximum score for a given site if all of the Evaluation Criteria were entirely satisfied would be 100. While it is highly unlikely any future potential parkland will score a perfect 100, it is recommended that a tier system to be used to categorize site scoring. Figure 7.11 displays the tiers in which a proposed parkland can fall within. It is recommended that the following approach be taken based on the park’s evaluation score. • Any site score of 49 or under should not be pursued at this time because it does not meet enough of the evaluation criteria and needs improvement. • Any site score between 50-74 should be pursued, however additional evaluation and determination based on the details of the situation may be necessary before accepting the land. • Any site score of 75 or above should be pursued and meets or exceeds nearly all evaluation criteria. FIGURE 7.11: PARKLAND EVALUATION SUMMARY Site Score Land Acquisition Approach 0-49 Does Not Meet Needs 50-74 Recommend (With Further Evaluation) 75-100 Highly Recommend It should be noted, each individual situation presents unique circumstances that may fall outside of this evaluation. Figures 7.10 and 7.11 are recommended to be used as supporting information in the determination of any future proposed parkland, not the sole source of determination. A case-by-case approach is the most effective method to factor in all aspects of a particular situation. Park Master Planning What are the benefits of park master plans? • Park master plans build on the goals, recommendations, analysis, and action items of the Village-wide Park and Recreation Plan. • A park master plan uses its own dedicated planning process focused on a single site to provide details that would not otherwise be possible at a Village-wide scale. • Park master planning involves and gathers feedback from the public, stakeholders, and park users on the future development of the site. • The results of the process yield a detailed site plan that is the basis for facility, trail, and site upgrades, maintenance, and development. Throughout this plan, it is recommended that the Village develop new park master plans. This can be done in-house by Village staff members, through the selection of outside consultants, or using interns or college-based classroom projects. Park master planning typically requires significant time, experience, technical proficiency, and planning process knowledge. Additionally, due to budget constraints, its often cost prohibitive to hire outside consultants for all park master planning needs. Where appropriate and feasible, college-level interns or capstone classroom projects could be leveraged to assist in park master planning. Oregon is located near several major institutions which could provide these types of services including UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Whitewater, etc. This strategy may not work for all park master planning efforts, but could increase the pace of park master planning efforts in Oregon.
