There were no public comments. 5) Reports of Village Officers a) Director of Public Works Report 1. Update on Green View Preserve Park Improvement Striegl reported that improvements at the Green View Preserve parks have been completed. The parks have not yet been formally accepted by the Village, but acceptance is expected within the next month. Public Works has been mowing the park at the southern part of the subdivision to become familiar with maintenance needs, while Veridian continues to maintain the remaining areas. Upon Village acceptance, Public Works will assume full maintenance responsibilities for all park areas. 2. Update on Summer Park Enhancements Koceja reported that erosion control work at Gary Disch Park is scheduled to begin this week. A safety fence will be installed on Friday, and soil borings are expected to begin the following week. b) Director of Community Development Report 1. Bike and Pedestrian Study RFP Update Cruz reported that seven proposals were received in response to the Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Bike and Pedestrian Plan. Following interviews with three firms, staff selected MSA Professional Services, citing the Village's positive experience working with the firm on previous projects. Cruz noted that the project is primarily funded through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), requiring completion of state administrative processes before work can begin. Staff anticipates providing additional project information to the Park Board at its first meeting in July, with a project kickoff meeting expected in mid- to late July. Cruz invited interested Park Board members to participate on the project's steering committee. c) Recreation and Programming Coordinator Report 1. Future Events Rhodes reminded members of the Kids' Bike Parade scheduled for July 4. The parade will begin at Jaycee Community Park and conclude at Kiser Park, where participants can enjoy popsicles, music, and hose spraying provided in partnership with the Oregon Area Fire & EMS Department. Rhodes also announced the upcoming Sounds of Summer concert series. Free concerts will be held beginning July 14 and continuing through August 25, with festivities starting at 5:30 p.m., warm-up acts at 6:00 p.m., and headlining performances at 6:30 p.m. To be approved 07/14/2026 Page 3 of 5 6) Unfinished Business (Items are for Discussion and/or potential action) a) Presentation by Garret Perry from JT Engineering of Bethel Greenacre Park Master Plan Garrett Perry of JT Engineering presented the draft Bethel Greenacre Park Master Plan. He reviewed the public engagement process, which included more than 12 hours of interviews with stakeholders, impacted neighbors, Village staff, public safety representatives, and senior residents, as well as research into the site's history and existing conditions. Perry summarized two conceptual design alternatives that were developed through the planning process. Concept A, which received stronger public support, emphasizes natural features, pollinator habitat, meandering pathways, and informal gathering spaces. Concept B follows a more traditional park layout. Both concepts incorporate stormwater management features such as park amenities and educational opportunities. Perry and Christoph Ibele of INTOTO Studio reviewed the preferred concept, which includes a pavilion, restrooms, drinking fountains, plaza areas, natural play features, a futsal/multi-use court, outdoor classroom space, and landscaping designed to support ecological function while remaining maintainable. The design team worked with Village staff throughout the process to address maintenance considerations and to maintain the project within the established $1.5 million budget, including contingency. Board members discussed several aspects of the plan, including stormwater education opportunities, long-term maintenance needs, connectivity to other areas of the Village, preservation and replacement of existing trees, and potential cost reductions. Perry noted that stormwater features would be intentionally integrated into the park design to provide both functional and educational benefits. He also stated that future connections across the railroad corridor could be explored, although no specific solution has been identified. Striegl explained that the master plan is intended to serve as a guiding vision for future park development and that additional budget and Capital Improvement Plan discussions will occur in the coming months. Staff noted that approval of the master plan would allow the project to advance into the detailed design phase, where individual elements could be refined and potentially phased based on available funding. Frisch moved, seconded by Hoernemann, to recommend that the Village Board approve the Bethel Greenacre Park Master Plan. Motion carried, 3-2, with Leas and Knutson voting no due to the cost. They like the vision but not the cost. b) Discussion and possible action regarding Martin Family request for field naming Ellen Smith addressed the Park Board regarding her family's request to name the field immediately west of the courts at Jaycee Community Park the Howard Martin Memorial Field. Smith referenced the statement included in the Board packet and asked the Board to reconsider the request following the adoption of the Park Naming Policy. Hoernemann reiterated the position he expressed during the Board's December discussion, stating that while he appreciated the family's request, he does not support naming parks or park facilities after individuals. Leas moved, seconded by Knutson, to recommend that the Village Board approve the naming of the soccer field to the west of the courts, Howard Martin Memorial Field, in memory of Howard Martin. Motion carried 4-1 with Hoernemann voting no. To be approved 07/14/2026 Page 4 of 5 c) Park Facilities Reservation Policy Public Works Director Striegl requested feedback and direction from the Park Board regarding the Park Facilities Reservation Policy for consideration by the Village Board. Striegl presented the following guidance from Village Attorney Larry Konopacki: 1. Provide feedback on whether the Park Board would prefer to honor the FOOP / Oregon School District request for “Community Play,” as presented at the May 2026 meeting, free of charge. 2. Provide feedback on any other preferred priorities and outcomes with respect to the fee schedule. 3. Recommend that the Village Board consider and, if they so choose, act to update the existing Policy. Attorney Konopacki had also advised that the Park Board, as an advisory body, should formally recommend that the Village Board review the policy and consider revisions. Staff also noted ambiguity in the current fee structure regarding classifications such as community organizations, athletic organizations, and governmental entities, as well as the role of 501(c)(3) status. Board discussion focused on the need for clearer definitions in the fee schedule and for the consistent application of facility use fees. Members discussed how organizations should be categorized, including the Oregon School District, community organizations, athletic organizations, and nonprofit entities. Discussion also included how requests for pickleball community play should be addressed within the fee structure. Leas moved, seconded by Hoernemann, to recommend to the Village Board that Appendix F of the fee schedule be revised to more clearly define groups and organizations and their related fees for use of Village facilities. Motion carried 5-0. Further discussion focused on how the Oregon School District should be incorporated into the fee schedule, including whether it should be treated differently from other school districts or governmental entities and whether reduced or no fees should apply to certain uses. Barone, a member of the Friends of Oregon Pickleball (FOOP), stated that community play has operated since 2017 and is intended to be inclusive of all ages and skill levels. He said community play helps manage court usage and reduce conflicts when courts are heavily utilized. Barone described a recent situation during an unofficial community play period in which approximately 30 people were using the courts when a separate group arrived and began occupying the courts. Barone stated that he spoke with members of the group and encouraged them to rotate court usage with the regular community play participants so that others could continue to play. He indicated that community play has historically provided rules and guidance for court rotation and expressed concern that, without a reservation process for community play, conflicts over court access could increase. Leas moved, seconded by Hoernemann, to recommend the Village Board look at how the Oregon School District is defined and charged for use fees. Motion carried 5-0. Staff noted the motions and discussion would be used to prepare information for Village Board review. Staff summarized the Park Board's direction as seeking clarification of organizational classifications within the fee schedule, including athletic organizations, community organizations, 501(c)(3) entities, and the Oregon School District, and requesting Village Board feedback regarding potential fee treatment for Oregon School District- To be approved 07/14/2026 Page 5 of 5 sponsored activities before drafting specific policy language. Staff indicated that the status quo could continue, provided that the Friends of Oregon Pickleball or the Oregon School District paid the fees required under the current fee schedule. Otherwise, the courts would not be reserved for Community Play. 7) New Business (Items are for discussion and/or potential action) a) Upcoming Meeting Dates: July 14 and August 18 8) Items for Future Meetings and Assignments. Hoernemann suggested exploring a park passport program to encourage residents to visit local parks. He referenced Liane Rhodes' flyer discussed at the previous meeting and suggested a web-based or mobile-friendly platform where participants could submit photos, similar to the snowflake scavenger hunt. He noted that such a program could help residents discover different parks and their amenities and could include incentives such as drawings or small rewards. Hoernemann also expressed interest in developing an interactive map showing park locations and amenities. Knutson shared that DeForest has a park passport program and noted that it has moved away from offering gifts, instead providing a surprise feature at each park. 9) 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 thanked Public Works for adding new sand to the sandbox at Meadow View Park. 10) Adjournment Hoernemann moved, seconded by Knutson, to adjourn the Park Board Meeting at 6:36 p.m. on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. Motion carried 5-0.

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. 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. Page | 2 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.  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.

Grant Project: Lerner Park Amenities & Rotary Bike Trail Message Boards Primary Sponsoring Club:Oregon Contact: Strohmenger, Richard Date Submitted: Jul. 26, 2026 at 1:17 p.m. Project Total Budget: $6,012.26 Grant Budget: $6,012.26 Project Expected Income:$6,012.26 Grant Expected Income:$2,500.00 GENERAL DESCRIPTION Provide a brief (2-3 sentences) summary of the project. What is the project, and why is it needed? Our project spans two separate public locations within the Village of Oregon. The first is Lerner Park where we are proposing to install two 6 foot metal benches and one metal bicycle rack for 6 bikes. The new benches will allow for a more enjoyable park experience and the addition of a bike rack will allow bicyclists to safely and securely park their bikes while visiting the park. The second location is the Rotary Bike Trail where we will install two weather resistant message boards that will be used in part to promote Oregon Rotary's events and fundraisers as well as information about the newly forming 'Friends of the Oregon Rotary Trail'. COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT & IMPACT Provide relevant background information and project details. Describe how Rotarians from the primary and partner clubs will be involved in the project. Include names and roles. Financial support without Rotarian involvement is not considered active involvement and will be denied. How are these community needs currently being addressed with local resources and/or government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), etc.? Explain how the benefiting community has confirmed the need and support for the project. Describe specific activities of the benefiting community partners in implementing the project. Describe how the benefiting community partners will sustain and/or maintain the project and/or equipment after grant funding has been fully completed. Lerner Conservation Park is a 65.38-acre conservation property located on the northwest corner of the Village of Oregon. The park serves multiple purposes, including stormwater management, environmental education, and passive recreation. Existing amenities include a gathering space, benches, an outdoor classroom, and a memorial bridge honoring a local business and community leader. The park is used regularly by local schools for hands-on learning experiences such as prairie burns, native plant restoration, invasive species removal, and gravel trail maintenance. The Oregon Rotary Club proposes to enhance the park by purchasing and installing two durable metal benches and a commercial-grade metal bicycle rack, each mounted on concrete pads. In addition, the club will install two weather- protected message boards at each end of the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail, a scenic 3.4-mile paved multi-use trail connecting West Netherwood Road/Cusick Parkway and Fish Hatchery Road. These message boards will provide trail users with information about Rotary, promote rotary events and fundraisers, and highlight local service opportunities. The project will be led by a committee consisting of Chair **Rich Strohmenger**, **Mike Brown**, **Larry Mahr**, **Bill Rockwell**, **Nike Loomis**, who will oversee planning, procurement, volunteer coordination, project implementation and awareness on social media. Club members will actively participate by purchasing materials, preparing the installation sites, pouring concrete pads, assembling and installing the benches, bicycle rack, and message boards, and coordinating with Village staff throughout the project. Rotarians will also work with Village planning staff to ensure the improvements are consistent with the park and trail master plans and comply with all Village codes and ordinances. This hands-on participation demonstrates Rotary's commitment to meaningful community service beyond financial support alone. The Village of Oregon provides routine seasonal maintenance for Lerner Conservation Park and the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail, including mowing and general grounds maintenance. Due to limited municipal budgets, however, improvements such as additional park amenities and visitor infrastructure are largely dependent upon partnerships with community service organizations. Local schools already utilize Lerner Conservation Park as an outdoor classroom, conducting environmental education projects throughout the year. The Village has established a strong history of collaborating with community organizations, including the Oregon Rotary Club, to improve and enhance public parks and recreational facilities. In addition a newly forming organization called 'Friends of the Oregon Rotary Trail' is working to facilitate expansion of the trail and supports the addition of our proposed message boards and has volunteered to help with installation and upkeep. The Village supports these partnerships through the approval process, technical guidance, and by loaning equipment when appropriate, allowing volunteer organizations to maximize their impact. The need for this project has been confirmed through ongoing collaboration between the Oregon Rotary Club and the Village of Oregon Parks Department. A recent Village parks survey identified Lerner Conservation Park as one of the five most-visited parks in the community, demonstrating the high level of public use and the need for additional visitor amenities such as seating, bicycle parking, and informational signage. Village officials have expressed strong support for these improvements and welcome service organizations like Rotary to help enhance community parks. The Village will assist through project review, permitting, coordination with planning staff, and equipment loans as needed during installation. Following project completion, the Village will continue its regular maintenance of the park and trail as part of its seasonal operations. Because the benches, bicycle rack, and message boards are commercial-grade, durable products designed for outdoor public use, ongoing maintenance requirements are expected to be minimal. The Oregon Rotary Club will continue its long-standing stewardship of both the park and the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail by periodically monitoring the condition of the improvements and coordinating with Village staff should repairs or maintenance become necessary. This partnership has existed for more than 25 years and provides confidence that the project will remain a valuable community asset for many years to come. SUSTAINABILITY What will be the immediate and long-term outcomes of the project? Who will own, maintain, operate, and secure equipment/items purchased with grant funds. A Rotary club or a Rotarian may not own equipment purchased with grant funds. Will training and software for the use and/or maintenance of technical equipment be provided? If so, who will provide training and software Please explain the plan on how to maintain this project for a long period of time. The immediate outcome of this project will be improved accessibility, comfort, and visitor experience at Lerner Conservation Park and along the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail. The addition of benches and a bicycle rack will provide needed amenities for park visitors, trail users, families, students, and individuals participating in recreational and educational activities. The two weather-protected message boards will serve as an effective communication tool to inform trail users about Rotary, promote Rotary events and service opportunities, and share information that enhances community engagement. The long-term outcomes include increased use and enjoyment of these public spaces, enhanced community pride, and continued support for healthy outdoor recreation and environmental education. The project will also strengthen the long-standing partnership between the Oregon Rotary Club and the Village of Oregon while increasing public awareness of Rotary's commitment to community service. These durable improvements are expected to benefit residents and visitors for many years with minimal maintenance requirements. Upon completion of the project, all benches, the bicycle rack, concrete pads, and the message boards will become the property of the Village of Oregon. The Village will own, maintain, and secure these improvements as part of its public park and trail system. The Oregon Rotary Club will assume responsibility for keeping the information displayed in the message boards current and relevant by updating announcements, event information, and Rotary messaging as needed. This shared partnership ensures that the physical improvements remain public assets while Rotary continues to actively support their ongoing value to the community. No training or software is required for this project. The amenities being installed consist of durable park furnishings and weather-protected message boards that require no specialized operation or technical maintenance. The Village of Oregon will incorporate the benches, bicycle rack, and message boards into its existing park maintenance program, which includes routine inspections and seasonal maintenance of public parks and trails. The selected products are commercial-grade, weather- resistant, and designed for long-term outdoor use, minimizing future maintenance needs. The Oregon Rotary Club will continue its long- standing stewardship of the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail and Lerner Conservation Park by periodically monitoring the condition of the improvements and working cooperatively with Village staff if maintenance or repairs become necessary. Rotary members will also maintain the message boards by regularly updating their contents with current community and Rotary information. This collaborative approach between the Village and the Oregon Rotary Club ensures that the project will remain attractive, functional, and beneficial to the community well into the future. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Describe specific activities of the sponsoring club and any partners in implementing the project. What will the Rotarians who are members of the partner clubs do during the project? Please note that financial support is not considered active involvement. How will the name of Rotary be publicized? The Oregon Rotary Club will be responsible for all aspects of planning and implementing this project. Rotarians will coordinate with the Village of Oregon throughout the planning process to obtain the necessary approvals and ensure the improvements comply with park master plans and municipal requirements. Under the leadership of Project Chair Rich Strohmenger, committee members Mike Brown, Larry Mahr, Bill Rockwell and Nike Loomis will oversee procurement of materials, volunteer coordination, scheduling, and project implementation plus awareness on social media. Club members will purchase the benches, bicycle rack, message boards, concrete, and installation materials, prepare the installation sites, pour the concrete pads, assemble and install the amenities, and complete site cleanup using volunteer labor. The Oregon Rotary Club is the sole Rotary sponsor of this project; there are no partner Rotary clubs participating. The Village of Oregon is not a funding partner but will support the project by reviewing plans, providing technical guidance as needed, and assisting with equipment loans when appropriate. In addition a newly forming organization called 'Friends of the Oregon Rotary Trail' is working to facilitate expansion of the trail and supports the addition of our proposed message boards and has volunteered to help with installation and upkeep. Upon completion, the Village will accept ownership of the installed amenities and incorporate them into its regular park maintenance program. Following installation, the Oregon Rotary Club will continue its involvement by monitoring the condition of the improvements, maintaining and updating the information displayed in the message boards, and working cooperatively with Village staff to help ensure these amenities continue to benefit the community for years to come. The Oregon Rotary Club will actively promote Rotary's involvement throughout the project and after its completion. Upon completion, the club will host a public ribbon-cutting ceremony and invite community members, Village officials, local organizations, and the media to celebrate the new park improvements. The project will be publicized through an article submitted to the Oregon Observer, highlighting Rotary's leadership, volunteer service, and commitment to improving community parks and recreational facilities. The club will also invite the local cable access television station to cover the installation and the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Oregon Rotary Club will further publicize the project through its club website and Facebook page by sharing project updates, volunteer activities, photographs, and the completed improvements. These communications will recognize Rotary members' service, highlight the partnership with the Village of Oregon, and demonstrate Rotary's ongoing commitment to enhancing the community. In addition, the two weather-protected message boards installed along the Oregon Rotary Bike Trail will prominently identify the Oregon Rotary Club and provide ongoing information about Rotary, community service projects, club activities, fundraising events, and opportunities for community involvement. Rotary members will keep the message boards current so they continue to serve as a long-term source of information and public recognition. Collectively, these efforts will ensure that the community is aware of Rotary's leadership, volunteer service, and lasting investment in Oregon's parks and recreational amenities.

COOPERATING ORGANIZATIONS Explanation: Cooperating organizations are any groups or organizations (other than partnering Rotary clubs) that are working with the sponsoring club in either funding or implementing the project. A newly forming organization called 'Friends of the Oregon Rotary Trail' is working to facilitate expansion of the trail and supports the addition of our proposed message boards and has volunteered to help with installation and upkeep. Because the project is located on public property, the Village of Oregon will review and approve the proposed improvements to ensure they are consistent with park master plans and municipal ordinances. Village staff may also provide technical guidance or loan equipment during installation if needed. Upon project completion, ownership of the benches, bicycle rack, and message boards will be transferred to the Village of Oregon, which will incorporate these amenities into its regular park maintenance program. The Oregon Rotary Club will remain actively involved by installing the improvements, coordinating with Village staff throughout the project, and maintaining the information displayed in the message boards on an ongoing basis.
