>A PROCLAMATION IN RECOGNITION OF MUSLIM AMERICAN
HERITAGE MONTH
Whereas; Muslims make up nearly 25 percent of the global population, and Islam is the
world's fastest-growing religion; and
Whereas; Muslims around the world, and in the United States specifically, constitute a
racially and culturally diverse group that is bound together by a shared belief in love as strength and
unity as power; and
Whereas; the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Foundation empowers and amplifies the voices of the
Wisconsin Muslim community through civic engagement, research, and advocacy, striving to foster a
more inclusive and equitable society for all Wisconsinites; and
Whereas; while Muslims make substantial contributions to virtually every aspect of society,
including business, academia, law, healthcare, the military, and more, we acknowledge that the history
and contributions of Muslim Americans in our country are often neglected or defaced by prejudice,
discrimination, xenophobia, and islamophobia; and
Whereas; on this occasion, we recommit ourselves to standing against hate and injustice in
all forms, and to combatting anti-Muslim rhetoric through awareness, education, comm unity, and
meaningful action; and
Whereas; Franklin is home to a vibrant Muslim community that plays an essential role in
forming and fundamentally enriching the unique character of our State and Nation; and
Whereas; today, the City of Franklin joins together all faiths and backgrounds in celebrating
our Muslim friends and neighbors and the cultural and religious heritage of the Muslim community.
Now, Therefore, I, John R. Nelson, Mayor of the City of Franklin, do hereby recognize July
2026 as Muslim American Heritage Month.
r nklin Common Council this 7th Day of July, 2026.

RECOMMENDATIONS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
REJECT ALL BIDS FOR
SOUTH CHAPEL HILL DRIVE WATER MAIN
RELAY PROJECT
MEETING DATE
07/07/2026
ITEM NUMBER
G.I.District# 6
BACKGROUND
The Engineering Department received approval to solicit bids for the South Chapel Hill Drive Water
Main Relay project at the 6/3/26 Common Council meeting. The existing water main was installed in
1968. Over the last six months, there have been three water main breaks within this section. This is due
to the aging infrastructure. The Board of Water Commissioners directed staff to begin design of relaying
the water main. Chapel Hill Drive and Chapel Hill Ct N. roadways are both in poor condition as well.
Therefore, it makes sense to replace the water main first, and then pave the roadway. The City has
included these roadways into the 2026 Local Street Improvement Program. The intent is to replace the
water main prior to the roadway getting repaved.
ANALYSIS
We received one bid on June 25, 2026. Below are the bid results:
Base Bid
Engineer 's Estimate
Globe Contractors, Inc.
$750,000.00
$993,250.00
The bid came in over the engineers' estimate as well as over budget. Therefore, staff recomm ends the
Common Council reject the bid.
Staff discussed the bid with Globe Contractors, Inc. after the bid opening and it was mentioned that due to
the project being bid out in June with a small timeframe for construction it will be hard to receive favorable
bid prices. Therefore, staff recommends rebidding the project this fall with a construction time frame of
starting in early Spring of 2027 and completion before labor day of 2027. We believe this will allow for
more favorable bid prices and come in at budget.
S. Chapel Hill Drive is currently included in the 2026 Local Street Improvement Program project award. If
this bid is rejected, the Engineering Department will come to Council with a request to issue a change order
for the 2026 Local Street Improvement Program.
FISCAL NOTE
The project will require General Obligation (GO) debt financing and is anticipated to be included in the GO
debt borrowing scheduled to occur later this summ er.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council reject the S. Chapel Hill Dr. Water Main Relay project bid and authorize
staff to rebid this project in the fall.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Motion to reject all bids for the S. Chapel Hills Drive Water Main Relay Project and to direct staff to rebid the
project in the Fall of 2026.

ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT (THIS "Agreement") made and entered into this 11" day
of MARCH 2026, by and between TKO III ACQUISITIONS, an LLC, hereinafter called the
"Developer" as party of the first part, and the City of Franklin, a municipal corporation of
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, party of the second part, hereinafter called the "City".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Developer desires to improve and develop certain lands located in the City
as described on attached Exhibit "A" (the "Development"), and for that purpose cause the
installation of certain public improvements, hereinafter described in this Agreement and the
exhibits hereto (the "Improvements"), and
WHEREAS, the Developer having applied to the City for a [Site Plan] for a [facility], and

Development, that the Developer make and install, or have made and have installed, any public
improvements reasonably necessary, to wit: [water system, storm water management facilities,

WHEREAS, the public works schedule and budget of the City do not now include the
Improvements for the Development and normally there would be a considerable delay in the
installation of the Improvements unless this Agreement is entered into by the parties; and
WHEREAS, the City believes that the orderly planned development of the Development
will best promote the health, safety and general welfare of the community, and hence is willing to

forth in this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the payment of One Dollar ($1.00) and other
good and valuable consideration to each in hand paid by the other, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree:
1. The legal description of the Development is set forth on attached Exhibit "A".
2. The aforementioned improvements shall be as described in Exhibit "B" except as
noted in Exhibit "E".
3. The Developer shall prepare plans and specifications for the aforesaid
Improvements, under direction of the City Engineer, and to be approved by the City
2
Engineer. After receiving the City's approval thereof, the Developer shall take
bids, and award contracts (the "Improvements Contracts") for and install all the
improvements in accordance with standard engineering and public works practices,
and the applicable statutes of the State of Wisconsin. The Improvements shall be
based on the construction specifications stated in attached Exhibit .
4. The full cost of the Improvements will include all labor, equipment, material,
engineering, surveying, inspection and overhead costs necessary or incidental to
completing the Improvements (collectively the "Improvements Costs"). Payment
for the Improvements Costs will be made by the Developer periodically as the
Improvements are completed as provided in the Improvements Contracts. The total
estimated cost of the Improvements is seventy-six thousand and 00/100 Dollars as
itemized in attached Exhibit "D".
5. To assure compliance with all of Developer's obligations under this Agreement,

of $106,520, representing the estimated costs for the Improvements as shown in
attached Exhibit "D . Upon the written approval of the City Engineer, the amount

Improvements Contracts for the Improvements or which remain unapproved by the
City. The Financial Guarantee shall be issued by a bank or other financial
institution (the "Surety Guarantee Issuer") reasonably satisfactory to the City, for
the City as "Beneficiary", in a form satisfactory to the City Attorney. Failure to file
the Financial Guarantee within ten (10) days after written demand by the City to
the Developer shall make and render this Agreement null and void, at the election

Developer for all the completed Improvements, the Financial Guarantee shall be
released and surrendered by the City to the Developer, and thereafter the Developer
shall have no further obligation to provide the Financial Guarantee to the City under
this Paragraph 5., except as set forth under Paragraph 13. below.
6. In the event the Developer fails to pay the required amount for the Improvements
or services enumerated herein within thirty (30) days or per contract after being
billed for each improvement of each stage for any Improvement Costs at the time
and in the manner provided in this Agreement, and if amounts remain unpaid after
an additional thirty (30) days written notice to Developer, the City may notify the
Guarantee Issuer in writing to make the said payments under the terms of the
Financial Guarantee to the Contractor, within the later of the time frame stipulated
in the Financial Guarantee or five (5) days after receiving a written demand from
the City to make such payment. Demand shall be sent by registered letter with a
3
return receipt requested, addressed to the Surety Guarantee Issuer at the address
indicated on the Financial Guarantee, with a copy to the Developer, described in
Paragraph five (5) above. It is understood between the parties to this Agreement,
that billings for the Improvement Costs shall take place as the various segments and
sections of the Improvements are completed and certified by the City Engineer as
complying with the approved plans and applicable provisions of the Franklin
Municipal Code.
In addition, the City Engineer may demand that the Financial Guarantee be
extended from time to time to provide that the Financial Guarantee be in force until
such time that all improvements have been installed and accepted through the one
(1) year guarantee period as set forth under Paragraph 13. below, including the
fourteen (14) months following substantial completion of the Improvements and
10% limitations also set forth thereunder. For the purposes of this Agreement,

MEMORANDUM
July 7, 2026
City of Franklin Common Council
John Regetz, Director of Economic Development
Yaskawa Campus Project and Consideration of Tax Increment District No. 11 Approval
Yaskawa has expanded and developed plans for its Franklin campus for three years. This started with its purchase and
expansion of the former TransPak building. New construction will continue with a robotics manufacturing building
(MFG- 1) on the northwest comer of the campus, with excavation fill going to the two parcels south for another
manufacturing building site (MFG-2) along, with grading being conducted. Construction of a large, combined
manufacturing facility will cover both those parcels. After that the company's North American headquarters, a
laboratory and attached two-story parking garage will be built (HQ & Lab).
The sizes, timing and costs of the buildings' construction schedules follow :
• MF G- 1, will be a 95,500 sq. ft. robotics manufacturing facility with clean rooms and will start construction in the
May-June 2026 timeframe, complete in early 2028, and costing $17 million to build.
• MFG-2, will be a 294,000 sq. ft. manufacturing & warehouse facility for electric-motor-driven-equipment
and will start construction in May-June 2028, complete at the end of 2030, and cost $40 million to build.
• HQ & Lab, will be a 103,000 sq. ft. Headquarters and Lab, starting construction in April-May 2031, complete at
the end of 2033, and costing $52 million to build.
o An 84,000 sq. ft. attached, below and at ground level, parking garage will be built on the Headquarters
and Lab, part of that construction from April-May 2031 to the end of 2033 and cost $8.4 million to
construct.
Under this plan, 576,000 sq. ft. of newly constructed building space will require construction costs of $117 million.
Yaskawa has also purchased the Quad Graphics building at World Packaging 1. Street renaming has been requested
for Oakwood Park Drive, World Packaging Circle, Ashland Way and possibly Basswood Drive.
Traffic lights will be moved from 41rst St. & West Ryan Road to South Oakwood Park Drive & West Ryan Road.
The City will apply (signatory) for a Transportation Enhancement Act (TEA) Grant, reducing the City's cost to
approximately $165,000 (same as Yaskawa), rather than $330,000 as originally planned. Yaskawa will prepare the
application.
Yaskawa America manufactures industrial robots, motion control products, low and medium voltage AC drives, and
solar inverters for numerous industries, including semiconductors, solar, machine tool, automotive, HV AC, pumping,
oil and gas, and others. With this expansion, the company will also begin manufacturing robots in Franklin. Yaskawa
is formally forecasting 1,000 jobs at the Franklin campus to be mainly relocated from Illinois.
Yaskawa and the City negotiated a Pay-Go incentive to assist with its development costs and to encourage their
relocation to Franklin. The approved Development Agreement includes a variable 55% to 65% of incremental
revenues, increasing as new buildings are added and capped at $4.2 million. The TransPak building expansion
received no incentive.
TID 11 needs to be created to provide this incentive and establish this excellent company in Franklin. Approval of
TID 11 is before the City of Franklin tonight.

SECTION 1:
Executive Summary
DESCRIPTION OF DISTRICT
Tax Incremental District ("TID") No. 11 "District") is a proposed Industrial
District comprising approximately 114 acres located in the Franklin Business
Park and adjoining lands to the north. The District will be created to pay costs
related to Yaskawa Electric Corporation's ("Yaskawa") development of a new
campus in the District " Project").The new campus will include aheadquarters,
training, and manufacturing facilities for industrial robots. Approximately
576,000 square feet of new facilities will be constructed as part of the overall
1,043,000 square foot campus representing a $182 million private capital
investment that is expected to create over 1,000 positions with annual salaries
averaging $90,000. The employment opportunities resulting from the Project
will support home ownership, increased population and retail & services
markets in the City. In addition to the incremental property value that will be
created because of this capital investment, and the long-term employment
opportunities,the City expectsthe Project will result in short-term employment
related to the construction and expansion of industrial facilities, and ageneral
increase in commerce and economic activity within the City and region.
AUTHORITY
The City is creating the District under the provisions of Wis.Stat. § 66.1105.
ESTIMATED TOTAL PROJECT COST EXPENDITURES
The City anticipates making total expenditures of approximately $5.3 million
" Project Costs") to undertake the projects listed in this Project Plan ("Plan").
Project Costs include an estimated $4.2 million in development incentives,
$165,000 to reimburse Yaskawa for the portion of the cost of relocating traffic
signals, $300,000 for sanitary sewer and water main relocations at the Allis
Roller site (within ½ mile), $300,000 for a site remediation grant for WilCraft
Can (within ½ mile), $114,963 in interest on repayment of advances, and
$205,000 in City administrative expense related to creation and administration
of the District.
INCREMENTAL VALUATION
The City projects that new land and improvements value of approximately
$37.5 million will result from the Project. Creation of this additional value will
be made possible by the Project Costs made within the District. A table
detailing assumptions as to the development timing and associated values is
included in the Economic Feasibility Study located within this Plan.

City of Franklin
Page I3
EXPECTED TERMINATION OF DISTRICT
Based on the Economic Feasibility Study located within Section 9 of this Plan,
the City anticipates that the District will generate sufficient tax increment to
pay all Project Costs within 13 of its allowable 20 years.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
As required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105, and as documented in this Plan and the
exhibits contained and referenced herein, the following findings are made:
1. That "but for" the creation of this District, the development projected to
occur as detailed in this Plan: 1) would not occur; or 2) would not occur in
the manner, at the values, or within the timeframe desired by the City. In
reaching this determination,the City has considered the substantial private
capital investment that will be made to expand industrial operations in the
District,and the negotiations with the company related to the need for City
participation in the Project.
2. The economic benefits of the District, as measured by increased
employment, business and personal income, and property value, are
sufficient to compensate for the cost of the improvements. In making this
determination, the City has considered the $182 million private capital
investment within the proposed District that is expected to create over
1,000 positions with annual salaries averaging $90,000. as well as the
benefits of short-term employment related to the construction and
expansion of industrial facilities, and a general increase in commerce and
economic activity within the City and region.
3. The benefits of the proposal outweigh the anticipated tax increments to be
paid by the owners of property in the overlying taxing jurisdictions. As
required by Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(i)4., a calculation of the share of
projected tax increments estimated to be paid by the ownersof property in
theoverlying taxing jurisdictions has been prepared and can befound in this
Plan. However, because the Project would not occur without the use of tax
incremental financing, these tax increments would not be paid but for
creation of the District. Accordingly, the City finds that the benefits
expected to be realized as set forth in this Plan outweigh the value of the
tax incrementsto be invested in the Project.
4. Not less than 50% by area of the real property within the District is suitable
for industrial sites as defined by Wis. Stat.§ 66.1101and has been zoned for
industrial use.Any real property within the District that is found suitable for
industrial sites and is zoned for industrial use at the time of creation of the
District will remain zoned for industrial use for the life of the District.

Page [4
5. Based on the foregoing finding, the District is designated as an industrial
district.
6. The Project Costs relate directly to promoting industrial development in the
District,consistent with the purpose for which the District is created.
7. Improvements to be made in the District are likely to significantly enhance
the value of substantially all of the other real property in the District.
8. The equalized value of taxable property in the District, plus the incremental
value of all existing tax incremental districtswithin the City doesnot exceed
12%of the total equalized value of taxable property within the City.
9. The City estimates that less than 35%of the territory within the District will
be devoted to retail business at the end of the District's maximum
expenditure period, pursuant to Wis.Stat.§ 66.1105(5)(b).
10.That there are no parcels to be included within the District that were
annexed by the City within the preceding three-year period.
11. The Plan for the District is feasible and is in conformity with the Master Plan
of the City.

SECTION 5:
Equalized Value Test
The following calculations demonstrate that the City expects to be in
compliance with Wis. Stat. § 66.1105(4)(gm)4.c., which requires that the
equalized value of the taxable property in the proposed District,plus the value
increment of all existing tax incremental districts, does not exceed 12% of the
total equalized value of taxable property within the City. The equalized value
of the increment of existing tax incremental districts within the City, plus the
base value of the proposed District,totals $441,097,400.This value is lessthan
the maximum of $869,462,904 in equalized value that is permitted for the City.

Statement Listing the Kind, Number and Location of All
Proposed Public Works or ImprovementsWithin the
District
Project Costs are any expenditure made, estimated to be made, or monetary
obligations incurred or estimated to be incurred as outlined in this Plan.Project
Costswill be diminished by any income,special assessments,or other revenues,
including user fees or charges, other than tax increments, received or
reasonably expected to be received in connection with the implementation of
the Plan. If Project Costs incurred benefit territory outside the District, a
proportionate share of the cost is not a Project Cost. Costs identified in this
Plan are preliminary estimates made prior to design considerations and are
subject to change after planning, design and construction is completed.
With all Project Costs, the costs of engineering, design, survey, inspection,
materials, construction, restoring property to its original condition, apparatus
necessary for public works, legal and other consultant fees, testing,
environmental studies,permits,updating City ordinancesand plans,judgments
or claims for damages and other expenses are included as Project Costs.
The following is a list of public works and other tax incremental financing
eligible Project Costs that the City expects to make, or may need to make, in
conjunction with the implementation of the District's Plan. The map found in
Section 7 of this Plan along with the Detailed List of Project Costs found in
Section 8 provide additional information asto the kind,number and location of
potential Project Costs.
Property, Right-of-Way and Easement Acquisition
Acquisition of Rights-of-y ay
The City may need to acquire property to allow for installation of streets,
driveways, sidewalks, utilities, stormwater management practices and other
public infrastructure. Costs incurred by the City to identify, negotiate and
acquire rights-of-way are eligible Project Costs.

Cash Grants (Development Incentives)
The City may enter into agreements with property owners, lessees, or
developers of land located within the District for sharing costs to encourage
the desired kind of improvement and assure tax base is generated sufficient to
recover Project Costs. No cash grants will be provided until the City executes
a developer agreement with the recipient of the cash grant. Any payments of
cash grants made by the City are eligible Project Costs.
Projects Outside the Tax Increment District
Pursuant to Wis.Stat. § 66.1105(2)(f)l.n,the City may undertake projectswithin
territory located within one-half mile of the boundary of the District provided
that:1) the project area is located within the City's corporate boundaries; and
2) the projects are approved by the Joint Review Board. The cost of projects
completed outsidethe District pursuant to thissection areeligible project costs

Economic Feasibility Study, Description of the Methods
of Financing Estimated Project Costsand the Time When
Related Costsor Monetary Obligations are to be Incurred
This Section includes aforecast of the valuation increases expected within the
District, the associated tax increment collections, a summary of how Project
Costs would be financed, and a projected cash flow demonstrating that the
District is economically feasible.
Key Assumptions
The Project Costs the City plans to make are expected to create $37.5 million
in incremental value by January 1, 2034. Estimated valuations and timing for
construction of the Project are included in Table 1.Assuming the City's current
equalized TID Interim tax rate of $16.50 per thousand of equalized value, and
annual 1% economic appreciation in property values, the Project would
generate $10.8 million in incremental tax revenue over the 20-year term of the
District as shown in Table 2.

Financing and Implementation
Based on the District'sJanuary 1, 2026, base value date,tax increment will first
be collected for the 2028 budget year. The City expects to incur costs for a
remediation grant as well as administrative expense prior to 2028 and will
advance funds to the District as needed to pay those costs. The District will
repay the advanced funds with interest, with full repayment projected within
eight years of the initial advance.
The City will reimburse Yaskawa for a portion of the cost of relocating traffic
signals and pay the cost of relocation of utilities in the vicinity of Allis Roller,
from cash projected to be available from tax increment collections. If tax
increment collections are not sufficient to pay these costs at the time they are
incurred, the City may advance additional funds,to be recovered with interest.
Development incentives for Yaskawa will be made on a "pay as you go" basis
from tax increment generated by theadditionalfacilitiesto be constructed.The
source of these payments is solely limited to the tax increment,and payments
will be subject to annual appropriation. Incentive payments are based on a
percentage of the tax increment generated, ranging from 55% - 65%, for a
period of ten years, for any new or expanded facility that receives occupancy
by dates specified in the development agreement. No payments will be made
after the 2044 calendar year, and total payments will be subject to a cap of
$4,200,000.
Based on the Project Cost expendituresas included within thecashflow exhibit
(Table 3), the District is projected to accumulate sufficient funds by the year
2040 to pay off all Project cost liabilitiesand obligations.The projected closure
is based on the various assumptions noted in this Plan and will vary dependent
on actual Project Costs incurred and the actual amount of tax increments
collected.

SECTION 13:
Statement of the Proposed Method for the Relocation of
any Persons to be Displaced
Should implementation of this Plan require relocation of individualsor business
operations, relocations will be handled in compliance with Wis. Stat. Chapter
32 and Wis.Admin.Code ADM 92.
SECTION 14:
How Creation of the Tax Incremental District Promotes
the Orderly Development of the City
Creation of the District and the implementation of the projects in its Plan will
promote the orderly development of the City by creating new industrial sites,
providing necessary public infrastructure, and providing appropriate financial
incentives for private development projects. Through use of tax increment
financing,the City can attract new investment that resultsin increased tax base.
Development will occur in an orderly fashion in accordance with approved
plans so that the Projects will be compatible with adjacent land uses. The
industrial expansion project involves a $182 million private capital investment
withinthe proposed District that isexpected to createover1,000 positionswith
annual salaries averaging $90,000, which will support home ownership,
increased population and retail &servicesmarkets in the City.In additionto the
incremental property value that will be created because of this capital
investment,and the long-term employment opportunities,the City expectsthe
Project will result in short-term employment related to the construction and
expansion of industrial facilities, and a general increase in commerce and
economic activity within the City and region.

SECTION 15:
List of Estimated Non-Project Costs
Non-project costs are public works projects which only partly benefit the
District.Costs incurred that do not benefit the District may not be paid with tax
increments. Examples of non-project costs are:
• A public improvement made within the District that also benefits
property outside the District. That portion of the total Project Costs
allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non-project
cost.
• A public improvement made outside the District that only partially
benefits property within the District. That portion of the total Project
Costs allocable to properties outside of the District would be a non
project cost.
• Projects undertaken within the District as part of the implementation of
this Project Plan, the costs of which are paid fully or in part by impact
fees,grants,special assessments,or revenues other than tax increments.
No improvements to be made within the District will benefit property outside
the District. Furthermore, there will be no improvements made outside the
District that will only partially benefit the District.

Noise Nuisance Claims by Dana Gindt,Joy Draginis-Zingales, t'iJFranklin
GreendaleAlliance, and other similarly situated residents
NOTICE OF INJURY AND CLAIM PURSUANT TO WIS. STAT. $893.80
I. Introduction and Identification of Claimants
This document constitutes a formal Notice of Injury and Claim pursuant to Wis. Stat.§ 893.80
on behalf of Claimants Dana Gindt (9011 West Hawthorne Lane, Franklin, WI 53132), Joy
Draginis-Zingales (7573 Highview Drive, Greendale Wi 53129), the Franklin Greendale
Alliance, Inc. and all other similarly situated residents of the City of Franklin and the Village of
Greendale (collectively, "Claimants").
This claim arises from the City of Franklin's (the "City") years-long and ongoing pattern of
conduct which has created, maintained, and perpetuated a severe private and public nuisance in
the form of excessive and unlawful noise emanating from The Rock Sports Complex ("The
Rock"). This claim is timely filed within 120 days of the specific governmental actions and
ongoing omissions described herein that give rise to Claimants' present, ongoing, and future
injuries.
II. Statement of Circumstances Giving Rise to Claim
The circumstances giving rise to this claim constitute a continuing tort and nuisance. While the
harm has been ongoing for years, this notice is specifically predicated upon the following
discrete actions and omissions by the City, all of which have occurred within the 120 days
preceding the date of this notice:
A. Specific and Timely "Events" Giving Rise to Injury
I. Approval of Unlawful Event Permits (February-April 2026): In February and March
2026, the Franklin Common Council took discrete governmental actions by approving
approximately 47 event permits for The Rock's 2026 season at noise levels of 65 dBA
and higher at the residential receiving district boundary. These approvals directly
contravene the mandatory residential noise limits of 45-50 dBA established in Franklin
UDO § 15-3.1107, 183-40 Noise Disturbances Prohibited into residential districts from
Re:
the use of loudspeakers / public address systems, 121-9 event noise prohibited from
carrying unreasonably beyond event premises, 178 Nuisance law, as well as the
recommendations of the City's own acoustical expert and the Milwaukee County
acoustical consultant that both support 50 decibels at the property line for residential
receiving districts. The City's continued consideration of anadditional 92 events under
the same unlawful parameters and omissions constitutes a present and ongoing action
causing imminent harm.
2. Failure to Implement Ministerial Duties (March-April 2026): On March 5, 2024, the
Common Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2024-8109, creating a clear and non
discretionary ministerial duty for City staff to enforce existing noise ordinances and
municipal codes. The approval for the Rock PDD #37 included the requirement of
superior sound systems to minimize potential adverse impacts. In the months since,
including February-April 2026, the City has systematically failed to adhere to Resolution
2024-8109 and the PDD development requirements by processing event applications
lacking the required Sound Control Plans to minimize noise and comply with the
maximum decibel level allowance at the property line which is determined by Hazard
Abatement Performance Standards for Noise 15-3.1107 for the receiving district. The
March 2024 resolution required Sound Control Plans to include methods to substantially
control and contain the noise within the premises to protect the health, safety and well
being of the community. Each approval granted in contravention of this resolution is a
new event giving rise to this claim.
3. Bad-Faith Governance and Suppression ofl nformation (February-March 2026): In
February and March 2026, the City engaged in a pattern of conduct demonstrating its
complicity in perpetuating the nuisance. The City appears to have suppressed information
during the February- March 2026 review of the historically profane two-day large-scale
concert. The City disputed payment to its own retained acoustical consultant, JPM
Acoustics, resulting in the developer, not the City, covering the $63,000 outstanding
invoice to obtain release of the March 6, 2026 Noise Mitigation Brief for Franklin Field.
This report, containing preliminary recommendations to reduce noise, was not included
in the March 17, 2026 public packet. Instead, the Mayor circulated the incomplete brief
privately to elected officials and select staff on March 12, 2026 indicating it was
sufficient to justify approval of a large-scale event historically associated with profane,
explicit content audible more than 1.5 miles away in prior years. Withholding this
information from the public packet denied residents access to materials necessary for
meaningful comment and input. The Noise Mitigation Brief recommended limits far
below what the City currently permits at The Rock, yet the City proceeded without public
disclosure. These actions reflect a lack of transparency, predetermination of outcome, and
improper pressure on elected officials to approve an event despite incomplete and
withheld data.
4. Solicitation and Encouragement of Nuisance Approvals during Public
Meetings. (February 18, 2026): At the February 18, 2026 Common Council meeting,
an alderwoman threatened financial "ramifications" against the City if the Rock event
permits were not approved, explicitly linking permit approval to The Rock's ability to
repay its TID obligations to the City. The Common Council voted to table the review of
this two-day event, which resulted in information related to this event being not included
in the March 17, 2026 public packet indicating lack of transparency and
accountability. The City's subsequent approvals in the face of such pressure constitute an
abdication of its duty to protect residents in favor of its and the Rock's financial interests
in the City's "public /private partnership" with the Rock / Ballpark Commons
development.
B. The Overarching Pattern of Misconduct
The City has engaged in systematic non-enforcement of its own noise regulations and engaged in
wrongful conduct, including:
1. Knowingly and repeatedly failing to enforce Franklin Municipal Code $15-3.1107
(receiving-district limits and noise-sensitive-area protections);
2. Knowingly and repeatedly failing to enforce $183-40 (prohibiting loudspeaker noise into
residential areas);
3. Knowingly and repeatedly failing to enforce $121-9 (special-event noise not permitted to
carry beyond event premises);
4. Knowingly and repeatedly failing to enforce Chapter 178 (nuisance);
5. Acting as a creditor to The Rock's developer, who has a reported TID #5 shortfall of
nearly $1 million, which creates a direct financial incentive for the City to facilitate
revenue-generating nuisance activity;
6. Engaging in active misrepresentation and material omissions regarding noise-compliance
obligations at The Rock:
• The Development approval required the Rock entire sport complex to employ
superior sound systems to minimize impacts on nearby residences, a requirement the
City never enforced.
• City staff directed Milwaukee County's independent acoustic consultant (RSG) to use
an unapproved and unlawfully high 79-decibel threshold at the residential property
line for the Rock, contrary to other requirements in the Rock PDD #37, Franklin
Ordinance §15-3.1107, and other applicable noise and nuisance provisions. This
directive corrupted the 2023 County sound study and prevented accurate evaluation
under the City's actual legal limits of 50 dB (7 a.m.- 10 p.m.) and 45 dB (10 p.m.- 7
a.m.).
• City records and reports from 2017- 2024 confirm that no 79-decibel limit has ever
been approved for the Rock and that 50 dB remains the required standard.
Open-records disclosures further show that no Common Council approval for a
79-decibel event permit occurred from 2014- 2025 for the Rock. Despite this, staff
continued to rely on the flawed 2023 report to perpetuate inaccurate information
about permissible noise levels and noise regulations.
• Directing an independent sound consultant (RSG) to use a false 79 dBA standard in
April 2023, thereby corrupting the resulting study, and then suppressing the
subsequent JPM report which contradicted this standard shows deliberate misconduct.
The JPM Acoustics brief submitted March 6, 2026 likewise omits the controlling ordinances,
nuisance regulations and noise-sensitive-area protections, reinforcing the City's pattern of
misrepresentation. (The final Sound Monitoring, Noise Mitigation, and Compliance Services
report by the acoustic consultant, JPM Acoustics, has not been made publicly available, which
may include the required noise regulations.)
This now decade-long failure was openly acknowledged during the March 5, 2024 Common
Council discussion, where the City Administrator stated that these laws "are the law for the City"
and that "the laws have been in place, just not followed." She further noted the City was now
attempting to "get back on target and do the right thing." Mayor Nelson similarly stated that the
resolution provides "crystal clarity" on how these requirements are applied.
The City's longstanding non-compliance was also reported in the Milwaukee JournalSentinel on
March 7, 2024, where City administration admitted that "somewhere down the road we detached
from following those procedures," and confirmed that the resolution restates regulations intended
"to protect quiet enjoyment, property use, and residential quality of life."
These failures were repeated and continued from February-April 2026.
III. Legal Basis for Claims
The City's conduct gives rise to multiple causes of action for which governmental immunity is
waived, including but not limited to:
1. Creating and Maintaining a Public Nuisance: By permitting, promoting, and failing to
abate the noise nuisance under a clear conflict of interest, the City has become a party to
its creation.
2. Failure to Perform a Ministerial Duty: The City has a clear, non-discretionary duty under
its ordinances and Resolution 2024-8109 to enforce noise limits. Its continuing failure to
do so is subject to a writ of mandamus.
3. Arbitrary, Capricious, and Bad-Faith Conduct: The City's actions, including suppressing
expert reports and yielding to financial pressure from a developer, are not good-faith
exercises of discretion and pierce any immunity shield.
4. Failure to Implement Required Independent Monitoring: In December 2024 the Franklin
police chief indicated "we are not sound experts" and recommended enlisting a third
party expert with expertise in sound monitoring, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal
Sentinel. The City has failed to require independent third-party monitoring,
programming, management and placement for decibel-meter enforcement tools at the
Rock, despite committing in 2024 to adopt this procedure as a necessary safeguard for
accurate and impartial noise-compliance verification.
5. Selective and Unequal Enforcement of Noise/ Nuisance Regulations and
Development Approvals: The City engaged in selective enforcement of municipal noise
codes and ordinances for other developments in addition to imposing independent noise
and vibration monitoring requirements on other developments and properties, while
declining to apply comparable standards or enforcement measures to The Rock, resulting
in unequal treatment and arbitrary application of the law.
6. Repeated Unfulfilled Commitments to Resolve Noise Issues: From 2020 to the
present, the City of Franklin has repeatedly represented that it would address and resolve
the ongoing and longstanding noise issues associated with The Rock. In 2023, the Mayor
publicly stated at several meetings and interviews with media that the solutions were
simple and the issues would be resolved, yet the City failed to implement meaningful
comprehensive corrective action, continuing to approve disruptive, harmful and annoying
noise levels thereby perpetuating the nuisance.
IV. Itemized Statement of Relief Sought
Pursuant to Wis. Stat.§ 893.80(1d)(b), Claimants demand the following relief:
A. Monetary Damages:
A sum of not less than $50,000.00 per individual claimant household to compensate for:
diminution in property value; loss of the private use and quiet enjoyment of their properties; and
damages for physical and emotional distress.
B. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief
We demand an enforceable agreement that the City of Franklin:
1. Cease and Desist: Immediately cease issuing any permits to The Rock that allow noise
levels to exceed the residential limits of 50 dBA (daytime) and 45 dBA (nighttime) at the
property line for all activities, operations and events, consistent with UDO $ 15-3.1107
and the recommendations of its own experts.
2. Enforce Ordinances: Take all necessary steps to enforce its noise ordinances and
Resolution 2024-8109 against The Rock for all operations.
3. Deny and Revoke Permits: Deny any pending applications and revoke any existing
permits for events at The Rock that are not in full compliance with PDD #37
development requirements, City ordinances and Municipal codes including but not
limited to Code 169-2, due to any outstanding financial obligations due to the City from
the developer.
4. Declare Actions Unlawful: A judicial declaration that the City's recent approvals of
events at 65 dBA are arbitrary, capricious, and void.
Absent an agreement, I will advise my clients to seek an order from the court compelling the
preceding items.
You are hereby notified that pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 893.80, the City has 120 days from receipt
of this notice to grant or disallow this claim. Failure to act will be deemed a disallowance.
Sincerely,
'-.«oJohn B. Tuffnell

COMPLAINT
Assistant Chief Eric Stowers of the Franklin Police Department, being duly sworn on oath,
deposes and states as a complaint under Wis. Stat. SS 125.12(2)(ag) and 134.65(7), and Franklin
Municipal Code $ 158-9, 121-24, and 102-1 A against H, B & H. LLC, doing business as "On
the Border"( hereafter "O TB"). as follows:
1. This complaint is based upon information contained within official records maintained by
the City of Franklin, the Franklin Fire Department, and the Franklin Police Department, which the
complainant has used in the past and found to be reliable.
I. PARTIES, LICENSES, AND PERMIT INFORMATION
2. That the complainant is a resident of the City of Franklin.
3. That for the 2025-2026 license period, H, B, and H, LLC had been issued license No. 25
3605 by the City of Franklin. License No. 25-3605 includes the following:
a. "Class B" intoxicating liquor license
b. Class "B" fermented malt beverage license
1
c. The Entertainment and Amusement License
d. Cigarette Sold by Machine License
4. That for the 2026-2027 license period starting on July 1, 2026 and expiring on June 30,
2027, H, B & H, LLC has been issued license No. 26-4471 which includes the following:
a. "Class B" intoxicating liquor license
b. Class "B" fermented malt beverage license
c. The Entertainment and Amusement License
d. Cigarette Sold by Machine License
5. That both license No. 25-3605 and license No. 26-4471 are for the premises located at
10741 S. 27 Street in the City of Franklin, Wisconsin, and doing business as On the Border
(OTB").
6. That both license No. 25-3605 and license No. 26-4471 identify that the licensing agent is
Oscar Cobian, as appointed pursuant to Wis. Stat. $ 125.04(6)(a) and Franklin Municipal Code §
185-1.
7. That OTB has been in operation in the City of Franklin since approximately 1996 and the
business model has remained consistent as a "gentleman's club" with exotic dancers and alcohol
service throughout that time.
II. FACTUAL BASIS
8. The Franklin Police Department has been involved in amulti-year investigation into human
trafficking and prostitution involving OTB. This investigation was recently identified and
disclosed publicly via a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County on or about June 10. 2026.
With components of the investigation now public, the Franklin Police Department is able to
2
provide the following information to support this complaint against license no. 26-4471 issued to
H, B, and H, LLC, doing business as OTB:
Count 1: Prostitution at Licensed Premises
9. That at all times relevant to this complaint Brian Hopkins was a general manager at OTB.
He had started working at OTB around 1996 and had subsequently been promoted to the role of
general manager and "right-hand man" of one of the owners, Daniel Hay.
I0. Through interviews with Hopkins and through additional investigation, the Franklin Police
Department identified that OTB has created a culture where the business and employees knowingly
permitted and benefitted from prostitution, human trafficking, and drug use. This became
widespread in 2019 to approximately 2024 or later. These practices included:
a. Management and ownership identifying to subordinate employees to not worry
about prostitution that had been happening within OTB.
b. Employees at OTB, including management and security staff, knowing of and
financially benefiting from prostitution and human trafficking occurring at OTB.
c. That OTB has approximately 10 "VIP" rooms where specific women can and do
engage in prostitution. OTB allows and at times encourages female entertainers to
get patrons to make cash transactions to book these VIP rooms for the purpose of
prostitution. The rooms do have cameras, but the cameras are only live feed and do
not record. The rooms are also all fitted with dimmer switches that can lower or
turn off the lights within the rooms. These dimmers can be controlled within the
rooms or by security or DJs.
d. That the perm issive practice within OTB that has been promoted by security and
management includes staff members identifying patrons who are interested in
3
prostitution services and identifying those patrons to select entertainers. Those
entertainers then engage the patron and try and encourage them to rent a VIP room
for sexual activity. The patrons and/or entertainer would then pay bouncers or other
staff to ensure the lights in the VIP rooms were dimmed so that cameras would not
observe the sexual activity, the prostitution would occur, and then after completion
of the time and prostitution, the entertainer or patron would potentially provide
additional money to OTB staff or bouncers.
e. That beyond management and security receiving additional financial compensation
to aid in the prostitution, OTB itself collects financial proceeds from these "VIp"
room rentals and splits the end payout between staff and the entertainer/female
prostitute.
f. That many of the women interviewed by police and associated with the prostitution
activities or human trafficking within OTB identified that bouncers were paid to
tum off the lights in VIP rooms so that prostitution activities could occur. Nearly
all of the victims of the trafficking identified this same practice within OTB,
including paying off certain individuals to ensure the prostitution could occur. One
female victim even identified that she had performed a sex act with the lights on
and was told by management that she could only do so with the lights down.
g. That Brian Hopkins would take cash payments from known pimps in order to have
trafficked women installed into OTB and or continue working at OTB and engage
in prostitution activities.
11. That Hopkins also admitted to Police that he was aware that prostitution was occurring at
OTB while he was managing the establishment. He was told by ownership not to worry about the
4
prostitution. Hopkins admitted that prostitution increased at OTB around 2018 or 2019. Hopkins
stated he originally pushed back against the practice, but once it became clear ownership was not
concerned, he stopped trying to enforce precautions or rules. Hopkins further stated that "all of us"
knew or were aware that prostitution was occurring at OTB.
12. That through this multi-year investigation, Police reported that OTB had been discussed
within an online forum that identifies locations where prostitution occurs. This forum included
alleged testimonials of sex acts following the patterns identified in paragraph IOof this complaint.
The posts identified ranged from December 2023 through October of 2024. These forums include
information such as "with the passing of Danny last month, I recently heard from some of the girls
that some changes have been instituted over the past few days at On the Border. Apparently tipping
security no longer ensures that the lights can be turned off in the VIP rooms anymore."
13. That the Franklin Police Department aided in searching the trash from OTB on or about
March 27, 2023. This search revealed 14 condom wrappers and three used condoms within T B's
trash. Statements from OTB staff also confirmed that the premises had maintained a condom
vending machine in the restroom until approximately 2024 and that used condoms had been found
within a VIP room.
Count 2: Drug Activity
14. Through their investigation, the Franklin Police Department was made aware that drug
dealing has been known to occur at OTB, specifically marijuana, cocaine and heroin.
15. That Hopkins stated that staff has previously administered Narcan. a medication that can
reverse opioid overdoses, to dancers in response to an apparent overdose.
16. That on or about October 14, 2025, emergency services were dispatched to OTB related to
an overdose incident for a female at the establishment.
5
Count 3: Staff Incident
17. That on or about January 27, 2025, an identified citizen witness had contacted police about
being physically attacked by staff at OTB regarding a dispute about payment for a VIP room.
Police reviewed surveillance video of the incident. The video depicts at least five employees of
OTB fighting three patrons. These OTB employees were charged with criminal offenses related to
their involvement. The charges have resulted in criminal convictions for the employees involved
in the fight at the licensed premises.
18. Police also investigated an incident from the same night where the OTB employees
identified an uninvolved male party who had recorded a video of the fight on January 27, 2025.
Several OTB employees also attacked this individual, took his phone, and deleted the video he had
recorded of the fight.
Count 4: Service to Intoxicated Persons
19. That the Franklin Police Department investigated a potential fraud or theft complaint at
OTB on or about April 17, 2025. The underlying complainant believed he may have been drugged
at OTB before having money stolen from him. To investigate this complaint, police reviewed
camera footage of the complainant within the establishment. This camera footage showed the
complainant had been served at least six alcoholic mixed drinks and a shot while at OTB. Police
reported that the level of intoxication over the six or more drinks increased and that the individual
appeared heavily intoxicated to the extent that bar staff was required to assist him in obtaining
more money from ATM and signing receipts for purchases at the bar. Ultimately police determined
there was insufficient information to support the fraud complaint.
6
20. That on or about October 5, 2025. Franklin Police were dispatched to OTB regarding a
female bar patron that had barricaded herself in the bathroom. Police identified this woman and
determined that she was intoxicated.
21. That on or about November 22, 2025, Franklin Police were dispatched to OTB regarding
an intoxicated person refusing to leave. Police responded and identified the subject as intoxicated
and refusing to pay his bill for the drinks and entertainment at OTB that evening.
22. That on or about February 18, 2026, Franklin Police were dispatched to OTB regarding a
potential sexual assault at the establishment. Through this investigation police spoke with the
citizen complainant, a non-employee, who identified that the patron who had grabbed her was
intoxicated. Police investigated the complaint and identified that a subject who they observed to
be "stumbling" out of the bar and into a vehicle in the parking lot was the person of interest. This
individual was determined to be heavily intoxicated at the bar.
Count 5: Disorderly House
23. That during the time of the underlying investigation identified in count one, approximately
2018-2026, there have been approximately 91 calls for Police Services to OTB. Those calls for
service identified by Franklin Police Department are as follows:

the Franklin Police Department against OTB, but instead demonstrates the frequency and nature
of calls for service that police must respond to related to OTB between 2018 and 2026 and the
impact on the general community based on the practices and issues at OTB.
