My wife and I have proudly called Franklin our home for the past 13 years, and I would be honored to serve the community. I am 67 years old and retired, so I have both the time and the experience necessary to effectively represent District 1 residents. I retired from the United States Postal Service after a 43-year career, where I served in a variety of positions. For the final 17 years of my career, I worked on and managed the Postal Service's national attendance control program. This role required strong organizational skills, attention to detail, collaboration with stakeholders, and a commitment to accountability and efficiency. It also provided me with valuable experience in financial oversite, budgeting, and sound decision-making. I am currently a member in an investment club, where I serve as Treasury Agent and have held several leadership positions within the club, including President. I have also served on our condo association board for 12 years, including 8 years as President. In that role, I worked closely with fellow board members and residents to address community concerns, manage finances responsibly, plan for future needs, and build consensus on If appointed, I would focus on several priorities: • Encouraging economic development and reducing the number of vacant commercial properties in Franklin. • Supporting efforts to attract and retain small businesses that strengthen our local economy and enhance services for residents. • Supporting efforts to attract and retain small businesses that strengthen our local economy and enhance services for residents. • Ensuring fiscal responsibility and careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars. • Maintaining open communication with residents and making decisions that reflect the best interests of the community. My background has prepared me to serve effectively on the Common Council, including financial oversight, leadership and community involvement. I would bring a collaborative approach to the position and would always strive to represent District 1 residents with integrity, respect and accountability. Thank you for your consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further and would be honored to serve the residents of District 1 and the City of Franklin. Sincerely, 9 a- , , Timothy A. Day 7508 W. Tuckaway Creek Drive Franklin, WI 53132 414-510-4714 June 5, 20 2 6 Arianne Vitrano 9321 S. 94h ST Franklin Common Council, I'm writing to express my interest in serving as Alderperson for District 1. I am a Franklin resident of six years and have built strong connections in the Briarwood area through com munity involvement, local schools, and neighborhood initiatives. Professionally, I bring a background in education as both a teacher and school principal. That experience has strengthened my ability to listen, communicate clearly, and work with diverse groups to solve problems and make thoughtful decisions. I am drawn to local government because of its direct impact on residents' daily lives and the opportunity to represent and advocate for the community. In Franklin, I have been actively involved in supporting local families and programs. I currently coach youth soccer through Franklin Rec, volunteer at Country Dale (supporting th e Scholastic Book Fair and Cougar Chase), and help organize community events and groups that bring residents together. Franklin LOC is a group that I've taken a leadership role in. I help to keep our group informed of what is going on locally as well as organize opport unities to engage with local politicians (including Mayor Nelson and Alderman Salous). These experiences have given me a strong understanding of what matters most to families in our community. I recently completed the New Politics Academy "Answering the Call" program, which focuses on translating servant leadership into public service. While I had originally planned to run for office in the futu re, I am energized by th e opportunity to step forward now and serve. If selected, I would bring a collaborative, thoughtful approach to the role, with a focus on listening to residents, representing their interests, and contributing to responsible, community-centered decision-making. Thank you for your consideration. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to the Common Council.

Our Franklin library supports community, learning, creativity, and curiosity. It is a place where everyone is welcome. When I imagine the world that I want to live in, I imagine a place just like a library. As a parent to young children, I spend lots of time at the Franklin Public Library: attending the excellent children's programs, borrowing reading materials, attending community events, visiting the Makerspace, downloading on Libby, grabbing a cup of coffee, checking out board games and puzzles. The library is truly my family's third place - a place separate from home and work where we spend time in community wit h others. I also feel strongly about supporting elders in our community. I recently served as a caregiver for a neighbor with quickly-advancing Alzheimer's. When we were first getting to know each other, many of our conversations were about our shared favorite author (Barbara Kingsolver) and the books she had recently checked out.

Iwould love to use my professional skills to support a place that is so important to me and my family. I'm engaged in community-building volunteer work in Franklin. My hobbies include gardening (vegetables and native plants), historic home restoration, camping, and of course reading.

RECOMMENDATIONS DREXELAVENUE ITEMNUMBER District # 3&5 BACKGROUND As mentioned previously at the May 5" Common Council meeting, the City received award for the WisDOT STP-U (Wisconsin Department of Transportation Surface Transportation Program- Urban). This funding will be used for W. Drexel Avenue from South Bridge View Dr. to approx. Northwestern Mutual Way. Before receiving the funding, the City had planned on borrowing for this project. The cost estimate was approx. $4.5 Million. The Engineering Department and Department of Public Works would like to use the borrowed funding for S. 51 Street from W. Rawson Avenue to W. Drexel Avenue. This roadway has been on the City's 5 year capital improvement plan and is in desperate need ofr econstructing. Similar to W. Drexel Avenue, we feel soil borings are necessary to provide a relative and accurate design and cost estimate. This item has also been brought to the Board of Public Works for their information, and they agreed it is in desperate need ofr econstruction. We are seeking Council approval to receive a proposal for soil borings and begin design. The Engineering Department would bring the geotechnical report proposal back to council for approval. ANALYSIS The Engineering Department created a cost estimate which is approximately $2,800,000.00. FISCALNOTE 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 summer. A formal budget amendment to incorporate the project and associated funding will be presented to the Board of Public Works for approval at their next meeting. STAFFRECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council authorize the Engineering Department to receive a proposal for a geotechnical report and begin design for the S. 51st Street Reconstruction project.

This presentation is for informational use only; no council action is being requested. S&W- GEB; Engineering - MNP; DOA - KH; w 1 S O N S 1 N City of Franklin Ut lt y Department Franklin Date: 06/10/2026 To: Common Council From: Glen Bearsdley, Sewer and Water Utility Superintendent Kaitlyn Witkowiak, P.E., Assistant City Engineer City of Franklin Report on Water Main Special Assessment Options The City of Franklin has utilized the special assessment policy ($207-15K) throughout its historyto expand its public infrastructure and serve residents of the City. The special assessment policy can be and has been levied on City public infrastructure improvements such as sanitary sewer, water main, sidewalks, streetlights, etc., though typically enforced for water main and sanitary sewer extensions. Specifically, for water main extension projects, the special assessment process allows for the property owners who are being directly benefited by the water main extension project to be responsible for the cost, instead of spreading the cost to all the water rate payers in the City. The water rate payers already have access to public water main and therefore, are not directly benefited from a water main extension project. The special assessment costs are generated fromthe hard bid costs for the projectfromthe awarded contractor divided by the total linear footage of the benefited properties. This provides a cost per linear foot which is used to determine the total special assessment value per property. The City of Franklin municipal code $207-15R enforces maximum assessment rates for sanitary sewer and water main, which is updated every year based on the Construction Cost Index (CCI) adjustment. This limits the cost per linear foot that the property owner will pay. The City of Franklin special assessment process can be found under municipal code $207-15 and is described in summary as follows; 1. The first step is for the City Council to declare by preliminaryresolution its intention to exercise a special assessment for a water main extension. The preliminary resolution explains the purpose, limits of the proposed assessment, and determines the public hearing date. The Common Council will also make the motion to direct the Engineering Department to create an engineer's report. 2. The engineers report is required to include the preliminaryor final plans and specifications, an estimate of the entire cost of the proposed work, an estimate of the special assessment to be levied to each property affected, and a statement that the property against which the assessments are proposed is benefited, where the work or improvement constitutes an exercise of the police power. 3. A copy of the engineer's report is filed withthe City Clerk Department for public inspection. 4. Once the Engineers Report is filed, the City Clerk will give notice of the public hearing date and time through certified mail to all benefited properties. 5. At the public hearing all persons interested, or agents or attorneys, can be heard before City Council on matters concerning the report. At the public hearing, the Council determines the number of installments that the assessment cost will have to be made in (payment plan). 6. Once the public hearing is complete, the City Council can approve, disapprove, or modifythe assessment. 7. The City Council adopts afinal resolution concerning the assessment. That final resolution contains confirmation of the Engineers Report, the number of installments and the due date of those installments for the assessment cost, and the deferral situations allowed for repayment. 8. The final resolution is then sent certified mail to all benefited properties. 9. The special assessment value is then placed on the property. Under municipal code $207-15K the City allows applications for deferment of payment of special assessments. $207-15K (2) includes multiple situations in which the deferment may be approved. The most common deferment is $207-15K Celebrating Quali t y of Life 9229 West Loomis Road Franklin, WI 53132 P(414)425-7510 F(414)425-3106 franklinwi gov FranklinW 4 SC O N S I N City of Franklin Uul ty (2)(c), which states that a deferral of the principal and interest for a residential property, who has existing and adequate water supply, is granted until owner connects to the water systemor ten years from adoption of the resolution, whichever comes first. If deferment of special assessment is approved by the Common Council, the City would need to pay for the project and then get reimbursed after a property owner either connects to the water main, or would be reimbursed after 10 years, plus however long the selected payment plan would be. Typically, the payment plan through the City has been 12 years at 6% interest. That would entail the City would not get the funds reimbursed until 22 years after the construction. Another option that has been utilized by many municipalities is the Public Service Commission's (PSC)water main extension rule. This rule was adopted by the City in 2016 and allows for the City to move forward with a water main extension project for the desperate need of the City water system. For example, there are many dead-end water main locations throughout the City of Franklin (see attached map). These dead-end locations pose a concernfor water redundancy in the City. If something were to happen to that dead end water main, all property owners/businesses/schools/medical buildings would be out of water as there is not another feed that can serve them. Water main extensions would be necessaryto loop these dead-end locations and provide more redundancy in the water main system. The PSCwater main extension rule has three situations in which water mains will be extended as summarized below: 1. The assessment cost is to be collected immediately through the municipality special assessment code and the procedure set forth under Wis. Stat. §66.0703. 2. A resident or developer applies for awater main extension which would benefit properties who did not apply, if the City chooses not to assess this project, then the project will be customer financed. Any of the benefited properties that choose to connect within 10 years of the date of completion of the project would make a contribution equal to the previously calculated assessment fee to the resident/developer who paid the initial total amount. After ten years, any connections that are made by benefited properties do not have to make any contribution. 3. The City is requesting the water main extension project due to closing dead ends within the City. The City would pay the total cost of the water main extension project. Any property owner who connects to the water main or connecting loop would be required to pay a contribution fee amount equivalent to a special assessment amount to the City. After ten years, any property owners that choose to connect to the water main will not need to pay the contribution fee. The Utility Department is bringing the PSC Water Main Extension Rule to your attention due to future water main extension projects that are deemed necessary by the Utility, but are not being requested by property owners or developers. There have been many special assessment projects done throughout the City of Franklin over the past decades, in which benefited properties have had to pay their special assessments. The main difference between the special assessment policy and the water main extension rule is that the City would recoup the cost of the water main extension project if the special assessment policy is chosen by the Council, otherwise, if the water main extension rule is chosen, the water rate payers would be required to cover the remaining cost of the project that was not covered bycontribution fee costs. There may be projects where the special assessment policy is a better option than the water main extension rule and vice versa. That decision is up to the Common Council.

(6) If the property against which the special assessments are levied is subdivided, the City Council may, prior to approval of the final plat or certified survey map, determine that portion of the assessment for which the subdivided parcel or parcels is liable and adopt a resolution amending the Engineer's report as confirmed to reflect such determination. L. Publication of resolution. The resolution levying the special assessments pursuant hereto shall be published by the City Clerk as a Class 1 notice under Ch. 985, Wis.

Where the cost of the extension is to immediately be collected through assessment by the municipality against the abutting property, the procedure set forth under Wis. Stat. § 66.0703 will apply, and no additional customer contribution to the utility will be required. B. Where the municipality is unwilling or unable to make a special assessment, the extension will be made on a customer-financed basis as follows: 1. The applicant(s) will advance as a contribution in aid of construction the total amount equivalent to that which would have been assessed for all propert y under paragraph A. 2. Part of the contribution required in paragraph B.l . will be refundable.

This amount will be refunded to the original contributor(s). In no case will the contributions received from additional customers exceed the proportionate amount which would have been required under paragraph A., nor will it exceed the total assessable cost of the original extension. C.

EFFECTIVE: PSCW AUTHORIZATION: June 23, 2016 2105-WR-107 APPROVAL REQUESTFOR COUNCILACTION MEETINGDATE 06/16/2026 REPORTS & SURVEYRESULTSFORWATERANDSANITARYSEWER SERVICEONSOUTH76THSTREETFROMWESTRYAN RECOMMENDATIONS ROADTOWESTPARKCIRCLEWAY BACKGROUND ITEMNUMBER ,3.District# 1 Milwaukee County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) is planning a road resurfacing project on South 76 S treet (CTH U) from West Ryan Road (STH 100) to West Park Circle Way. The project schedule has a current letting date in Fall of 2026 and a construction start in Spring of 2027. There are approximately 7-8 properties adjacent to South 76" Street that currently do not have City water main or sanitary sewer in front of their property. These property owners were once surveyed for sanitary sewer and water main in 2017 due to the residential development on the northwest corner of S. 76 St. and W. Oakwood Rd. The results from that survey (exhibit attached) were not in favor. Therefore, the water main and sanitary sewer extensions ended prior to these properties. The Engineering Department surveyed these properties again in advance of the Milwaukee County project. The survey results were again, not in favor. See exhibit attached. The Engineering Department and Utility Department agree that the water main extension is necessary to close a dead end in the water system. We are requesting Common Council to allow the engineering department to begin design of this water main to get it bid, constructed, and live prior to the Milwaukee County project starting in Spring of 2027. The Engineering Department will come back to Council for authorization to bid the project at a later date. ANALYSIS This request is only for action to start design of the project, however, below is the estimated breakdown of project costs: Estimated project cost for sanitary sewer extension=$1,180,000. Estimated project cost for water main extension= $800,000. Estimated special assessment reimbursement cost for sanitary sewer= $430,000. Estimated special assessment reimbursement cost for water main= $450,000. FISCALNOTE The Board of Water Commissioners has reviewed and approved moving forward with the S. 76 Street Water Main Extension Project. The project is necessary to address identified water system infrastructure needs and maintain reliable service within the utility system. Funding for this project was not included in the initially adopted Water Utility Budget. However, based on further recommendation and review by the Board of Water Commissioners, the project has been determined to be necessary and time sensitive due to the timing of the Milwaukee County project. 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 summer. A formal budget amendment to incorporate the project and associated funding will be presented to the Board of Water Commissioners for approval at their next meeting. NOTE* The timing of this project can't be delayed. STAFFRECOMMENDATION Direct staff to begin design of the S. 76 Street water main extension project.

MILWAUKEECOUNTYGIS AND LANO INFORMATION 200 APPROVAL REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION FIRE CHIEF TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON FIRE DEPARTMENT FACILITIES AND REPAIR PROJECT AT FIRE STATION #1. MEETING DATE 6/16/26 ITEM NUMBER H.4, The results of multiple rounds of water testing on both the north (front) and east walls of Fire Station #1 indicated multiple leaks, water seepage and substantial issues with the brick and block walls. Following this testing, the fire department requested assistance from the City of Franklin Engineering Department. Senior Architect Wayne Tillmann of Graef-USA evaluated the conditions at Fire Station #1 on two separate occasions during the month of May. He also assisted in obtaining an additional quotation for masonry repair, restoration and sealing from a local firm specializing in this type of repair work. Attached, you will find this newly received quotation from Restoration Systems, Inc. for repair and restoration work to the exterior walls of Fire Station # 1. Also attached are professional observations from the Graef architectural expert. Contained in these observations are several remarks that weigh very heavily in the discussion on whether to repair the existing fire station or move forward on a critically needed remodel / expansion project: "Replacing cracked brick, tuckpointing, replacing deteriorating sealant andsealing the brick allseems reasonable. Replacing the windowsystems also wouldbe advantageous. This is the however- Wedon't know exactlywhat's (sp) all the issues leading tomoistureinfiltration.As I had pointed out, I don'tknow ifthe gaps in the interior oft he masonry are allowing moisturetoget into the building.I don'tsee how doing the repairs as identifiedand replacing the windows can't be anything but beneficial.But, I don't know that this alone will eliminateallthe problems..." Adding this new estimate for masonry repairs, the current projection to repair Fire Station #1 is just under $170,000. It should be noted that none of the contractors will offer a 100% guarantee that the repairs will remain watertight and not cause a future reoccurrence of water infiltration and mold issues. Below is a summary of anticipated costs to repair the facility to its original state prior to the mold remediation project: $102,967 - Replacement windows, cabinets and interior wall insulation and repairs (Khalek Building Services) $30,500 - Brick replacement, tuckpointing, sealant application exterior/interior, follow-up water testing (Restoration Systems Inc.) $20,098 - Network cabling replacement and wiring repair (Heartland Business Systems, LLC) $15,357 - 10% Contingency As stated in the previous report to the council, we are at a critical decision point in deciding what investments to make in the current Fire Station 1. Given its nearly 50-year-old age, the mounting cost of repairs and the desperate need for renovation and additional floor space, we strongly urge the council to include the following items which were requested at the March 24, 2026 Finance Committee meeting to be part of the 2026 bond for Capital Improvement Funding: 1. $50,000 to enter into an agreement for a fire department facility condition review and needs analysis. This study will identify various options for investing in our fire stations (renovate / repair / or rebuild) to assure we can effectively serve the comm unity now and in decades to come. This review will provide the council with details, statistics and pricing on several options as well as a response time analysis to assist in strategically evaluating current and future deployment of fire and emergency medical service resources. 2. $355,000 for fire department facilities improvements. This allocation has been included in the 5-year capital improvement plan for fire station planning/design for several years. This funding will be used to take immediate action on the recommendations of the architectural facility review, whether that be completing repairs to the current building or planning for an expanded renovation or expansion project. If not included in the 2026 bond process, funding will need to be allocated from another source. Fire Department services continue to be impacted in the following ways: • All public education activities and classes at Fire Station 1 including: Public CPR, Stop the Bleed/ First Aid and fire station visits have been suspended due to our only fire department classroom being unavailable. Fire Station #2 and #3 do not have classroom facilities. • Fire department training activities for our staff and meetings with the public are also significantly affected due to the constraints listed above. Fire Station #2 and #3 do not have any conference rooms, offices or space available to conduct these activities. City Hall and the Franklin Public Library have graciously assisted with space for activities; however, their internal needs also place a great demand on meeting room space.

I would agree with the repairs he is proposing. Replacing cracked brick, tuckpointing , replacing deteriorating sealant and sealing the brick all seems reasonable. Replacing the window systems also would be advantageous. This is the however- We don't know exactly what's all the issues leading to moisture infiltration. As I had pointed out, I don't know if the gaps in the interior of the masonry are allowing moisture to get into the building. I don't see how doing the repairs as identified and replacing the windows can't be anything but beneficial. But, I don't know that this alone will eliminate all the problems. If budget will be influencing a decision, you may want to consider this as phases. Do the work as proposed. Do not install any drywall at this time. Wait a year and monitor the interior of the masonry. If there are no interior wet spots, then maybe this was the temporary solution. If it's still leaking, then you should focus on issues we talked about on site. I say temporary solution because sealing the brick is probably crucial in keeping the wall watertight. This will need to be redone on a regular basis (maybe every 4 or 5 years). In general, I don't know that these issues alone are the cause of the problems. There are detailing issues that exist that this work does not correct. I think you may need to do this at a step at a time. a ye Wayne P.TillmannAIA Senior Archit ect NCARB ILEED AP -GR3EF 275 West Wisconsin Avenue, Suit e 300, Milwaukee, WI 53203 I414 / 259 1500 414 / 266 9266 offi ce I wayne tillmann@graef-usa.com Connect withus:www.graef-usa.com I Linkedln I Facebook ITwitter I lostagram June 8, 2026 Prepared by: Marshal Pavlick, Project Manager Franklin FireStationNo.1 RESTORATION SYSTEMS INC. .. ad <=I BUDGET PROPOSAL June 8, 2026 Hello James, Please accept this budget proposal for Franklin Fire Station No. 1. At Restoration Systems Inc. we pride ourselves on satisfying or exceeding all the requirements of the project process. With over 25 years of experience diagnosing, correcting, and repairing issues on masonry and commercial buildings, we are confident that Restoration Systems Inc. would be a perfect partnership for the Fire Station project. The enclosed budget proposal includes everything you need to choose Restoration Systems Inc. as your restoration contractor. Please let me know if you need anything else upon your review. All the best, Marshal Povlick Project Manager RESTORATIONSYSTEMS INC PAGE 2 PROJECTSUMMARY Restoration Systems Inc. (RSI) visited the building in the Spring 2026 to review the exterior of the building. Since then, we have performed (1) visual investigations as well as a cursory review of the building's exterior. This has allowed us to provide you with a plan for the sealant replacement and facade Restoration of the building. Although concrete and masonry are viewed as timeless building systems, the need for regularly scheduled maintenance is still essential for long term health of a building. Listed below are facade repair items with the estimated time between maintenance cycles. Material Application MaintenanceCycle (years) Face Brick Walls 75-125+ years for selective replacement CommonBrick Walls 75-125+ years for selective replacement Mortar Brick joints 25-50+ years repainting cycle (many variables) FacadeAnchors Wall Assembly 15+ years (many variables) Coping/ Flashings Parapet Caps 10-25 years physical inspections Sealants Joints 5-15 years full replacement Water Repellants Concrete 5-10 years reapplication cycle Surfaces PAGE3 There are many variables that must be accounted for on each individual building during the evaluation process. For instance, if a building's maintenance has been neglected and a water infiltration issue left undiagnosed, water infiltration could cause the various steel components in the wall system to oxidize and expand. This expansion causes cracked or displaced facade materials and often results in an invasive repair scope. Another variable to consider is the compatibility of the masonry materials in the wall system. If, over time, a building has been subject to inappropriate maintenance and repairs then the replacement mortar might not be the correct PSI strength to function within the surrounding brick. As a rule, the mortar in a masonry wall system must be softer than the surrounding brick. This will allow for proper movement in the wall with the mortar joints absorbing the movement, reducing the risk of cracking and other facade failures. Throughout the exterior of the Franklin Fire Station the walls have numerous cracked or spalled bricks. The current state of these bricks is allowing water to infiltrate into the building and facade systems, leaving the potential for further and more invasive repairs to be needed if the corrective measures are not taken. The goal of this budget proposal is to assist you in laying out a plan for the sealant replacement at the Franklin Fire station building. Our numbers are presented in current 2026 rates for the project. We understand that the numbers contained in this budget proposal may be large, but we are here to work with you. We can tailor this preliminary budget proposal to your needs and budget. Restoration Systems has been maintaining and repairing masonry buildings and parking ramps all over the Midwest since 1998. Collectively our staff has completed nearly 500 restoration projects ranging in size from $50,000 - $6,000,000 in facade maintenance. Our experienced office staff and skilled tradesman have a total of nearly 500 years of collective experience in the masonry restoration field. 7aaa.a eoc MarshalPovlick Project Manager RESTORATIONSYSTEMS PAGE4 ONSITE OBSERVATIONS Example of cracked or deteriorated brick.

PAGE14 BLANKPAGE APPROVAL REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REQUEST FOR COUNCILACTION AResolutionAuthorizing theCity ofFranklinto ExecuteaContractwithWendelArchitectureP.C.to conduct aFireDepartmentFacilityConditionReview andNeedsAnalysis MEETING DATE 6/16/26 ITEMNUMBER Background The expanding scope of rebuilding 46-year-old Franklin Fire Station #1 following the mold remediation project has brought us to a critical decision point. Estimated costs to repair and rebuild Fire Station #1 to its previous condition are drastically increasing. The need for updating Franklin Fire Department facilities is a critical public safety need and cannot be kicked down the road and deferred any longer. Spending valuable taxpayer dollars to rebuild a structure that is already inadequate for current needs is a decision that cannot be taken lightly. The fire department is urging the Common Council to support the engagement of an architectural firm with known expertise in modern fire station design to provide professional guidance on the best investment in taxpayer dollars to provide a fire station that will serve the community for another 50 years. Proposal The fire department was authorized by the Common Council to request "Statements of Qualifications" from all interested architectural firms who have demonstrated experience in fire station renovation and construction. Three interested firms toured the city's existing fire stations and submitted proposals for review. They included FGMA Architects, Keller Inc., and Wendel Architecture P.C. Following evaluation from fire department command staff, the firm recomm ended for the project is Wendel Architecture P.C., who's public safety design team is known as "Five Bugles Design". The firm is nationally recognized for their work in municipal public safety projects and has led many successful projects throughout the State of Wisconsin. The proposed Fire Department Facility Condition Review and Needs Analysis incorporates the following deliverables: • Review of existing fire department facilities: to include detailed condition analysis, opportunities for remodel/additions at each location, analyze current service levels and emergency response capabilities from each station. • Geographical Information System (GIS) station location study to create emergency response time mapping from current fire station locations to analyze current response times and forecast future needs based on the City's Comprehensive Plan and planned future growth. • Conceptual design and programming options, including cost estimates, for remodeling or building new facilities based on current space needs and projected growth. The options presented will assist the Council in making the best-informed decision on future investments in Fire Station #1 and serve as the framework for strategic planning for the next 20 years. Financial Note The Finance Department has recommended that the investment in this Fire Station Condition and Needs Analysis will initially be funded through available City funds at the cost of $50,000, with the intent that such costs be reimbursed from future capital project borrowing through the adoption of a reimbursement resolution and subsequent bond issuance later in 2026. At the time of issuance, a formal budget amendment will be created to provide appropriations for all the capital projects included.

"UPP±ArchitectsWendel'sawordwinningpubRcsafetydesignteam Our team has extensive experience 1n regional training facilities as well as creating staff training opportunities within a public safety facility. At the core of any successful and efficient emergency services protection program 1s public safety facility training. Community expectations for delivery services over the last decade have grown to a level never ant1c1pated. Emergency medical services, hazardous materials, confined entry rescue, fire ground management techniques, communications, domestic terrorism and international terrorism are not hypothetical scenarios, but real1t1es. Designing these high-risk but low-frequency training opport unities intothe new fire station is critical to a department's level of ability to face the new challenges these sit uations present. Our teams are national leaders with our innovat ive approach of incorporating training programs into building design. In our discussions during the initial programming and space orientation phase of the building process, we spend a great deal of time talking about the department's existing training program. We take this time to gather as much information as possible and then off er design solutions that include in-house training space. Firefighters and Police Officers will be on hand during training sessions if a major emergency occurs. One of the training opportunities that we have included in numerous facilities is the use of a training tower for both drying fire hoses and for practicing in a multistory internal/ external training platf orm. Master planning of emergency services facilities involves taking the ent ire scope of the proJect into account, not just the building. Our team has worked with all of our clients to design tramnmng needs into their overall site plan, whether that includes Iv e burn towers, extrication training needs, confined space training, simulated shoot houses, etc. Each project comes with a need and/ or idea for training and our team has acted on integrating those ideas into an eventual design.

Personnel Decont aminat ion: Emerging Trends Over the past decade, there has been an increase of cancer diagnoses for those men and women in the fire services, as well as for their loved ones at home. In an attempt to help keep firefighters and their families healthy, we have created a personnel decont amination process which separates the fire station into zones (hot and cold), and therefore helps to reduce the spread of cancer-causing contaminates. , This process includes decontaminating trucks, gear, and of course, people. Restricting contaminants to the hot zones and having staff transition to the cold zones ensures that they are free of those contaminants after responding to an emergency. • QUALIFICATIONS FOR FRANKLIN FIRE DEPT FACILITY CONDITION REVIEW & SPACE NEEDSANALYSIS ~ Five.Bugles + ~ Mitchell'\' sociates ~ Design. ~ ArchitectsWendel's awardwinningpublicsafetydesignteam !:lmff1111l(u r rt .l\ r~l"f>•,~ IM,'?11'11i, t:irum!,o.

Q/NT ArchitectsWendel'sawardwinningpublicsafetydesignteam The condit ion of the existing infrastructure for the Green Bay Fre Department Headquarters facility was visibly in dire need of addressing. The department hired Five Bugles Designto review the conditions of Station 1 formally as well as Station 3, do a GlS analysis of their department to determine where their stations ought to be located for best coverage, and to create concept plans for a large, combined single replacement facility. During this study, a catastrophic event happened, forcing the department to relocate their administration immediately. Replacement moved from a future goal to an immediate need. Several locations for a replacement station were considered. The site needed to be large enough to house this large station, to be near downtown for both coverage needs and for best practice as their headquarters facility, and there was a desire to have atraining facility, including a live-fire burn tower on-site. With property owned by Green Bay's Redevelopment Aut hority, an idea of a combination mixed use facility, fire stat ion headquarters and public-private partnership came into reality. Five Bugles Design was brought on with partners General Capital Group and Engberg Anderson to conceptually plan this project on the old Badger Manufacturing site located on S. Broadway Street, one block from the Fox river, and along an abandoned railroad line. Badger Manufacturing vacated this property several years ago, after an on-site fire, and was willing to sell the property to the city for this PPP project. The PPP project will include razing the entire manufacturing facility, remediating the soils after PF0S contamination, and constructing a five-story mixed use facility and a three-story headquarters station for the Green Bay Fire Department. The fire department, in order to fit onto the property, 1s designed with fire apparatus, apparatus support, personal decontamination, and a watch office on the first floor of the building. The second floor will house the living quarters for the station, including twelve dorms, four single-user all-gender toilet/ shower rooms, a large exercise room, and their kitchen, dining, and day rooms. The third floor of the station will extend over all the apparatus bays. This level will house the department's administration as well as a large training room. Careful consideration for departmental relationships, function, and most importantly, response times, were taken throughout the design of this facility. This was especially important with such a limited site, and so much program needing to be addressed. A connected atrium will bridge the gap between the fire station and the mixed­ use facility. This atrium will boast images and artifacts of the department's history, allowing all visitors to view when they come to the station. The design of the station is underway, with construction expected to begin on the mixed-use side of the facility in the late fall 2025, and the fire side of the facility in late Spnng 2026. GREENBAYFIRE/EMSSTATION Green Bay, WI a pe:.gls - 4 #QUALIFICATIONS FOR FRANKLIN FIRE DEPT FACILITYCONDITION REVIEW & SPACE NEEDSANALYSIS \gl ffimWendel'sawardwinningpublicsafetydesignlearn In a 2019 study, it was revealed that Fire Station 3, the headquarters of the Sheboygan Fire Department, and its fire training tower were in poor condition and needed replacement. The study emphasized the importance of keeping the newf ac11itywithin afew blocks of the current location to ensure efficient response times. Coincidentally, a parcel of land just one block away became available for purchase, formerly housing the Sheboygan County Maintenance Department , allowing for the development of a Public Safety Campus. Five Bugles Design, a Wendel Company, was engaged to bring this concept to fruition. The new campus will house the Sheboygan Fire Station 3 Headquarters, a support garage for less frequently used apparatus, a live-fire burn tower, and a dirty classroom with an indoor firing range. Additionally, the police department will see an expansion for fleet and evidence storage. Fire Station 3 will feature a two-story design, with administrative, tramnmng, exercise, and decontamination facilities on the first floor and living quarters on the second. ..# ' , e s-- - - -. -.. _. A large, centrally located training room will serve as the City's emergency operations center (EOC) and is adaptable for various training sizes. Exercise space will be secured for exclusive use by the police department. An additional support garage will accommodate off-season equipment and less frequently used items. A live-fire training building will be constructed north of the support garages for use by the fire and police departments, as well as the Department of Public Works, for specialized training. Between the existing police department and the live-fire building, a dirty classroom and indoor firing range will be established, allowmng for immediate training feedback and utility for responders in dirty gear. The firing range will feature a 25-yard design with ten interior lanes and additional vehicular access. The campus design features a new police department access point from the south, which facilitates a drive-through fleet garage and additional storage solutions. Design is currently through Schematic Design with construction expected to start in late 2026 or early 2027.

The 48,000 sf Central Station will serve as the department's headquarters, and primary training facility. Three primary factors influenced the layout of this facility: response times, particularly with such a large facility; the desire to separate day-to-day operations; and the quantity of apparatus and support vehicles. All three of these factors drove the resulting design, in addition to the standard concerns of safety and civilian/ department interaction. Features of the station include the departments administration, dedicated and flexible Emergency Operations Center (EOC), extensivetraining facilities, exercise space, a mental health room, personal decontamination, and living quarters for ten. The smaller satellite station provides most of the same features as Station 1, at a smaller scale. This includes office space, a watch room,three drive-through apparatus bays, personal decontamination spaces, exercise room, training facilities, and living quarters for six.

These spaces will have direct access to the apparatus bay, which will have seven drive-through bays. Though the department is currently volunteer based, the administration is looking out for their volunteers, as well as looking to the future needs of the department. Because of this, seven single­ user dorm rooms will be constructed, as well as two all-gender smngle-user toilet rooms, a kitchen, dining room, and day room. Until the department becomes full time, the dorms could be used by local university students who serve the department, or by other volunteers during anticipated weather events.

The new station features five drive-through apparatus bays, state-of-the-art personal decontamination, a ICC500-rated storm shelter, training tower, watch room, and a large training room, with seating for forty. The facility's location brought several challenges that were resolved during the design process, including granite, a challenging site footprint, contaminated soils, and aesthetic convenance. Located on Just 1.84 acres of land, the property included a large granite outcropping on the eastern portion of the site, and a privately owned parcel of land, approximately 30' wide, which juts into the western property line approximately 40'. These two barriers created a pinch point for the facility, dictating its width and location. The facility was designed to maximize the frontage onto Main Street, while still maintaining all bays as drive-throughs and attempting to avoid blasting granite as much as possible. Having previously been used by a manufacturer and brass refinery, contaminates were found in the soils. Soils on site were required to be removed from under the footprint of the facility and tested if they were taken off site. Any soils that tested positive for contaminates were removed to approved landfills. Finally,the exterior facade of the building needed towork within the required convenance. The covenant dictated material usage and colors, heights, the percentage of glazing on the facade, and allowable roof types. This required reviews with the City and Cold Spring Granite for approval prior to design. The new station will upgrade the department with on-site training, decon spaces, and safe apparatus areas. Special touches were also included in the project, including the maltase cross on the stations' facade, which will be craved and sandblasted out of granite by the fire chief.

Between 2006 and 2022, the Wendel Public Safety Team completed f ve feasibility studies on consolidating two existing fire stations or building a new fire headquarters. We determined renovations and addit ions to the centrally located Lewis Thompkins Hose Company Station were viable solutions. We ensured the building met the needs of the firefighters, increased public safety and aligned with the City of Beacon's sustainability goals by incorporating energy-efficient systems and green building materials. To promote a healthy station, the project includes effective isolation of contaminants from living and office space, a user-friendly decontamination facility for firefighters, and increased heat recovery to remove carcinogenic byproducts of combustion brought back tothe station from fire scenes. Firefighters benefit from sleeping quarters isolated from operational noise to reduce sleep deprivation as well as peaceful lvmng quarters to reduce the pressures of PTSD. There is adequate space to work around the fire apparatus without risk of injury and adequate storage to ensure there are no unnecessary trip and fall hazards on the floor. During renovations, the existing building was used, preserving the structure and basic construction materials of the station. Exterior materials and detailing are consistent with the historic character of the Hudson River shoreline town. Construction materials were chosen based on maximum lifespan and ability to be restored, allowing the building to be used for more than 100 years.

Below are the phases that we recommend 1n chronological order, only movingforward with each phase as you feel comfortable: 1.Site Location Analysiswith Geographical InformationSystem (GIS) Station Location Studies are generally developed based on the following considerations: Using GIS Mapping to create response time polygons based on 3-5 years of past National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data. Ability of the Department to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1710 (Career) requirements. Comprehensive Plan, Zoning, environmental and planned future growth. Suitability for fire apparatus to function and respond properly. Traffic Patt erns around specific sites and how they influence response. • Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating of the area served. Other potential issues specific to the Community (Railroads, rivers, highways, etc.) 2. Facilityreviewsofthe existing facilityand respective site. This portion of the work would provide a reviewof the existing facilities and the site. Our team will provide: • Interview key stakeholders to determine if remodel/ additions are feasible. Identify current demand for service and response time from current facilities. Analysis of how the current facilit ies impact response criteria. • Full condition analysts and on-site inspections of the facilities and sites. • Identifying fire and safety regulation compliance issues and possible solut ions. Written condition analysis of the buildings and achitectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Review future growth opportunities regarding the facilities and how it will impact emergency response criteria. 3. Programming/ Space Needs and Conceptual Design Conduct Immersion work session between the department and design team as required to review current space needs of each station for a potent ial remodeled or new station, taking projected growth into consideration. A program will be developed that details existing and projected space needs for the next 20 years. Conduct stakeholder/ department interviews to confirm individual space program needs, support space requirements, area adjacency requirements, security concerns, future expansion accommodations, etc. Prepare conceptual "bubble diagram" options for new facility plans to show global space needs and adjacencies. Prepare a conceptual site plan diagram using aerial photos/ maps to evaluate potential building expansion locations/ orientation, or new construction. As well as any ut 1l1ty service impacts and parking/ circulation impacts. Review/ discuss advantages and disadvantages of each option with Owner and select preferred plan and site plan alternat ives for further refinement. ProJect cost estimates will be developed for options developed on a high level, square foot-based opinion of probable cost.

It brings together all of the stakeholders in a series of intense, on-site planning sessions. This allows for us to maintain aggressive proJect schedules while being flexible enough to react to the busy schedules of various stakeholders. MASTERPLANNINGSERVICES Existing Condition Assessments: Review of the ex sting conditions is a critical component of this process. Reviewing existing facilities and essentially telling the story as to why new facilities are needed is the very first step. Our architects and engineers will review the existing facility and provide writt en documentation to assist City of Franklin/ Franklin Fire Department leaders in making an informed decision tojustify moving forward with certain areas of remodel and toJustify why additions are needed, or to replace the entire facility. We will document these conditions in an existing conditions survey that will be included wrthmn the final deliverable. Our team begins by putting any existing drawings/ documents into a computer modeling/ drafting program (often Revit) to create a rough floor plan. Once the existing plans are drawn, our team carefully walks through the facility, noting any inaccuracies and checking d1mens1ons to create an accurate floor plan of the fac1l1ty to begin the design process. During this walk through, we note any ADA concerns, items that are no longer code compliant, safety concerns, items that are beyond their life expectancy, items that might have contaminates such as asbestos, and any items that should be reviewed further. This process can involve multiple trips to the site, trips with our engineering staff, 3D scans of the facility, X-ray scanning of existing slabs, and selective deconstruction of walls, ceilings and floors to know what is under the surface depending on the nat ure of the project. In addition to general architecture systems, the same care needs to be taken in evaluating and document ing the building mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural systems, as well as the site and surrounding areas. During any potential renovation project, thus documentation phase is incredibly important as unforeseen conditions can be very costly rtems once in construction. Sit e Location Analysis with Geographical inf or mat ion Syst em (G15): our GIS team in coordination wit h our site engineering and architectural team will use GIS mapping to create mapping in with the intent to meet NFPA 1710 requirements. Various data will be reviewed and continuously revisited to establish the best site in terms of response time and availability. All sites will be reviewed for compatibility for new fire station construction and will be used for conceptual planning in Task C and D.

We will consider potential growth andwill challenge your department to think about the future, but still remain fiscally responsible. Through our combined efforts, we will develop a preliminary facility size and potential costs that will be reviewed with the project team leadership to verify the project is within acceptable parameters or expectations and discuss next steps. Correct programming Is the single most important step in the design of your facilities. We bring to the table our deep knowledge of firematic operations, building/ site issues, equipment, training, and personnel needs based on our years of experience working closely with the emergency services community. The programming process Is based on actively listening to you and assisting you to define the needs and goals for your facilities and off ering our expert advice. We use proprietary programming tools and techniques developed by us specifically for our projects. The program for your project will be developed from a senes of in-depth programming meetings with your building committ ee. • The program document is utilized to determine the scope of the total project. • It is your opportunity to describe your operations and other activities within the building and on the site. It identifies your pnorit 1es, the building's potential impact on response and operational issues, training opportunit ies, necessary adjacencies, and areas of economy. • The program Is a dynamic tool that can provide for flexibility over time and plan alternative responses to fut ure growth. • Diagrams are provided to explain each room to assure that the intended activity is correctly understood and accommodated, and that the correct size has been chosen. • Room locations and adjacencies will be determined to support the evolution of your operations, not to be an impediment. • Assumptions regarding calculated areas for corridors and walls are validated against a database of similar fire stations. • Based on the program, a space usage analysis spreadsheet is created that specifies probable room and bwlding size. • All of this combines to be the tool that allows us, the client and architect, to determine that the project direction is correct and wit hin budget prior to starting any drawings. Our team will work with you to assess and develop options for the existing site of all three stations. This will result in necessary information that City of Franklin/ Fire Department leaders can use in making well-thought-out decisions. Our team will develop multiple site options complete with cost estimates and pros and cons. Once programming and existing condition assessments are completed, our team will review that data from Task A, BC and D, and prepare conceptual options. Costs will be associated to these options and reviewed with the team. We will then review these eff orts with Project Management and all Stakeholders seeking comment withthe goal of customizing the design effort to your departments and its specific operational procedures and concerns.

Dist. 4 BACKGROUND Per Wisconsin State Statutes, the removal of property taxes needs to be authorized by the Comm on Council. Statutes enumerate specific conditions under which a rescission/refund is appropriate and necessary. There is currently one property that was incorrectly assessed for the 2025 tax year. Due to a palpable error, the value has been reduced by $31,400. ANALYSIS Parcel: 853-0114-000 Own er: Joseph Fadness Address: 4658 W. Rustic Summit Pass Per the City 's Assessor, the initial 2025 assessment was incorrect. The original assessment showed three full baths and a finished basement. The original construction plans presumably included a finished basement in the plans, but the basement was never finished. This assessment correction reflects two full baths and an unfinished basement. FISCAL NOTE The impact of the above rescission/refund is likely a bad debt expense for the city in the amount of $112.22. There is a formal process that allows the City to notify the Department of Revenue (DOR) of rescissions in October of each year, and, as long as the total of all rescissions, for the tax year, for the City of Franklin, meet the statutory dollar threshold, $250 or more per any single property, the chargeback will be authorized, and the other taxing entities will be responsible for their share. Staff will complete the statutory submittal and make the request to be reimbursed by the other taxing entities for their prorated shares totaling approximately $411.36. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council authorize this resolution to partially rescind and refun d the above noted taxes as outlined. Due to the tax bill being paid in full, $523.58 will be refunded to the property owner. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to approve Resolution No. 2026- , A Resolution Approving a Partial Property Tax Rescission and Refund for Parcel #853-0114-000; and Direct Staff to Refund the Property Own er $523.58.
