As your independent auditor, our responsibilities include:
• Planning and performing the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of
assurance.

error. Included in that assessment is a consideration of the Village’s internal control over financial
reporting.
• Performing appropriate procedures based upon our risk assessment.
• Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
significant accounting estimates made by management.
• Forming and expressing an opinion based on our audit about whether the financial statements
prepared by management, with the oversight of the Village Board:
• Are free from material misstatement
• Present fairly, in all material respects and in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America
• Our audit does not relieve management or the Village Board of their responsibilities.
We are also required to communicate significant matters related to our audit that are relevant to the
responsibilities of the Village Board, including:
• Internal control matters
• Qualitative aspects of the Village’s accounting practice including policies, accounting estimates
and financial statement disclosures

Audit approach and results
Planned scope and timing
Audit focus
Based on our understanding of the Village and environment in which you operate, we focused our audit
on the following key areas:
• Key transaction cycles
• Areas with significant estimates
• Assessment of new accounting standards
Our areas of audit focus were informed by, among other things, our assessment of materiality. Materiality
in the context of our audit was determined based on specific qualitative and quantitative factors combined
with our expectations about the Village’s current year results.
Key areas of focus and significant findings
Significant risks of material misstatement
A significant risk is an identified and assessed risk of material misstatement that, in the auditor's
professional judgment, requires special audit consideration. Within our audit, we focused on the following
areas below.
Significant risk areas Testing approach Conclusion
Management override of
controls
Incorporate unpredictability into
audit procedures, emphasize
professional skepticism and
utilize audit team with industry
expertise
Procedures identified provided

Internal control matters
We considered the Village’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our audit
procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements. We are not expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Village’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph
and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or
significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were
not identified.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis.
A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control such that there is a
reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be
prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We identified the following deficiencies as
material weaknesses:
• Inadequate segregation of duties
A properly designed system of internal control includes adequate staffing as well as policies and
procedures to properly segregate duties. This includes systems that are designed to limit the access
or control of any one individual to your government's assets or accounting records, and to achieve a
higher likelihood that errors or irregularities in your accounting processes would be discovered by
your staff in a timely manner.
At this time, due to staffing and financial limitations, the proper internal controls are not in place to
achieve adequate segregation of duties. As a result, errors, irregularities or fraud could occur as part
of the financial reporting process that may not be discovered by someone in your organization.
Therefore, we are reporting a material weakness related to the internal control environment.
• Missing key controls
There are certain controls that are not currently in place related to significant transaction cycles. As a
result, there is a risk that erroneous or unauthorized transactions or misstatements could occur
without the knowledge of management or the governing body. Our recommendations for
strengthening controls are listed below.
Controls over utility billing
• Persons involved in the cash receipting process should be independent of other billing duties.
• The reconciliation of the detailed listing of receivables in the billing system and the receivable
balance in the general ledger should be reviewed by someone independent of the utility
billing and cash receipting processes.
Since the controls listed above or other compensating controls are not currently in place, errors or
irregularities could occur as part of the accounting processes that might not be discovered by
management or the governing body. Therefore, the absence of these controls is considered to be a
material weakness.
We recommend that a designated employee review the segregation of duties, risks and these potential
controls and determine whether additional controls should be implemented. This determination should
take into consideration a cost/benefit analysis.

• Financial statement close process
Properly designed systems of internal control provide your organization with the ability to process and
record accurate monthly and year-end transactions and annual financial reports.
Our audit includes a review and evaluation of the internal controls relating to financial reporting.
Common attributes of a properly designed system of internal control for financial reporting are as
follows
• There is adequate staffing to prepare financial reports throughout the year and at year-end.
• Material misstatements are identified and corrected during the normal course of duties.
• Complete and accurate financial statements, including footnotes, are prepared.
• Financial reports are independently reviewed for completeness and accuracy.
Our evaluation of the internal controls over financial reporting has identified control deficiencies that are
considered a material weakness surrounding the preparation of financial statements and footnotes,
adjusting journal entries identified by the auditors, and an independent review of financial reports.
Management has not prepared financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. In addition, material misstatements in the general ledger were identified during the
financial audit.

Other comments and recommendations
• Departmental Controls
As part of our annual audit process, we focus our efforts on the primary accounting systems, internal
controls, and procedures used by the Village. This is in keeping with our goal to provide an audit
opinion which states that the financial statements of the Village are correct in all material respects.
In some cases, the primary system of accounting procedures and controls of the Village are
supported by smaller systems which are decentralized and reside within a department or location. In
many cases, those systems are as simple as handling cash collections and remitting those collections
to the Administrative Services Department.
Generally, the more centralized a function is, the easier it is to design and implement accounting
controls that provide some level of checks and balances. That is because you are able to divide
certain tasks over the people available to achieve some segregation of duties. For those tasks that
are decentralized, it is usually very difficult to provide for proper segregation of duties. Therefore, with
one person being involved in most or all aspects of a transaction, you lose the ability to rely on the
controls to achieve the safeguarding of assets and reliability of financial records.
As auditors, we are required to communicate with you on a variety of topics. Since there is now more
emphasis on internal controls and management's responsibilities, we believe it is appropriate to make
sure that you are informed about the lack of segregation of duties that may occur at departments or
locations that handle cash. The department in your Village that fits this situation may include the
following:
Police department
As you might expect, similar situations are common in most governments.
As auditors, we are required to focus on the financial statements at a highly summarized level and
our audit procedures support our opinion on those financial statements. Departments or locations that
handle relatively smaller amounts of money are not the primary focus of our audit. Yet, because of
the lack of segregation of duties, the opportunity for loss is higher there than in centralized functions
that have more controls.
Because management is responsible for designing and implementing controls and procedures to
detect and prevent fraud, we believe that is important for us to communicate this information to you.
We have no knowledge of any fraud that has occurred or is suspected to have occurred within the
departments mentioned above. However, your role as the governing body is to assess your risk areas
and determine that the appropriate level of controls and procedures are in place. As always, the costs
of controls and staffing must be weighed against the perceived benefits of safeguarding your assets.
Without adding staff or splitting up the duties, your own day-to-day contact and knowledge of the
operation are also important mitigating factors.

Required communications
Qualitative aspect of accounting practices
• Accounting policies: Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting
policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we have advised management about
the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies
used by the Village are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies
were adopted and the application of existing accounting policies was not changed during 2025. We
noted no transactions entered into by the Village during the year for which accounting policies are
controversial or for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus or diversity in
practice.
• Accounting estimates: Accounting estimates, including fair value estimates, are an integral part of the
financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and
experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting
estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements, the
degree of subjectivity involved in their development and because of the possibility that future events
affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The following estimates are of most
significance to the financial statements:
Estimate
Management's process to
determine
Baker Tilly's conclusions
regarding reasonableness
Accrued compensated
absences
Evaluation of hours earned and
accumulated in accordance
with employment policies and
average wage per hour rates
Reasonable in relation to the
financial statements as a whole
Net pension liability and
related deferrals
Evaluation of information
provided by the Wisconsin
Retirement System
Reasonable in relation to the
financial statements as a whole
Total pension liability and
related deferrals
Key assumptions set by
management with the
assistance of a third-party
actuary
Reasonable in relation to the
financial statements as a whole
Net/Total OPEB liability
and related deferrals
Key assumptions set by
management with the
assistance of a third party
actuary
Reasonable in relation to the
financial statements as a whole
Depreciation Evaluate estimated useful life of
the asset and original
acquisition value
Reasonable in relation to the
financial statements as a whole
There have been no significant changes made by management to either the processes used to
develop the particularly sensitive accounting estimates, or to the significant assumptions used to
develop the estimates noted above.
• Financial statement disclosures: The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent
and clear.

Significant unusual transactions
There have been no significant transactions that are outside the normal course of business for the Village
or that otherwise appear to be unusual due to their timing, size or nature.
Significant difficulties encountered during the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management and completing our audit.
Disagreements with management
Professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to
our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to
the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements
arose during the course of our audit.
Audit report
There have been no departures from the auditors' standard report.
Audit consultations outside the engagement team
We encountered no difficult or contentious matters for which we consulted outside of the engagement
team.
Corrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate misstatements identified during the audit, other than
those that are clearly trivial and to communicate accumulated misstatements to management.
Management is in agreement with the misstatements we have identified, and they have been corrected in
the financial statements. The schedule within the attachments summarizes the material corrected
misstatements, that, in our judgment, may not have been detected except through our auditing
procedures. The internal control matters section of this report describes the effects on the financial
reporting process indicated by the corrected misstatements, other than those that we consider to be of a
lesser magnitude than significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Other audit findings or issues
We encountered no other audit findings or issues that require communication at this time.
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing
standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Village’s auditors. However, these
discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a
condition to our retention.

Other information in documents containing audited basic financial statements
The Village's audited financial statements are "general purpose" financial statements. General purpose
financial statements consist of the basic financial statements that can be used by a broad group of people
for a broad range of activities. Once we have issued our audit report, we have no further obligation to
update our report for events occurring subsequent to the date of our report. The Village can use the
audited financial statements in other client prepare documents, such as official statements related to the
issuance of debt, without our acknowledgement. Unless we have been engaged to perform services in
connection with any subsequent transaction requiring the inclusion of our audit report, as well as to issue
an auditor's acknowledgment letter, we have neither read the document nor performed subsequent event
procedures in order to determine whether or not our report remains appropriate.
Management's consultations with other accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting
matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other
accountants regarding auditing or accounting matters.
Written communications between management and Baker Tilly
The attachments include copies of other material written communications, including a copy of the
management representation letter.
Compliance with laws and regulations
We did not identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations during our audit.
Fraud
We did not identify any known or suspected fraud during our audit.
Going concern
Pursuant to professional standards, we are required to communicate to you, when applicable, certain
matters relating to our evaluation of the Village’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time but no less than 12 months from the date of the financial statements, including the effects
on the financial statements and the adequacy of the related disclosures, and the effects on the auditor's
report. No such matters or conditions have come to our attention during our engagement.
Independence
We are not aware of any relationships between Baker Tilly and the Village that, in our professional
judgment, may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence.
Related parties
We did not have any significant findings or issues arise during the audit in connection with the Village’s
related parties.

Other matters
We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements
the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the
methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's
responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our
audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide
any assurance on the RSI.
We were engaged to report on the supplementary information which accompanies the financial
statements but is not RSI. With respect to the supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content and methods of preparing the information to determine that
the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and
complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the
supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements
or to the financial statements themselves.
Nonattest services
The following nonattest services were provided by Baker Tilly:
• Financial statement preparation
• Compiled regulatory reports
• Utility rate consulting
In addition, as part of the financial statement preparation we prepared GASB No. 34 conversion entries
which are summarized in the "Reconciliation of the Balance Sheet of Governmental Funds to the
Statement of Net Position" and the "Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and
Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities" in the financial
statements.
None of these nonattest services constitute an audit under generally accepted auditing standards,
including Government Auditing Standards.

Our business is to know every aspect of yours and to maintain a constant lookout for what's next. We
invite you to learn about some of the trending challenges and opportunities for public sector organizations
like yours and how Baker Tilly can help.
To explore more trending topics and regulatory updates, visit our resource page at
https://www.bakertilly.com/insights/audit-committee-resource-page.
Capital project oversight
Public sector capital projects face increasing pressure from cost escalation, supply
chain disruption, regulatory complexity and heightened scrutiny around transparency
and accountability. Strong planning, governance and controls are critical across the
full project life cycle, from feasibility and funding strategy through execution and
closeout.
Independent oversight helps chart a clear course from planning to delivery. Our
teams work alongside leadership to strengthen governance, establish financial and
contractual controls, align funding with project goals, and monitor performance
throughout execution, helping projects stay on schedule, within budget, and aligned
with community priorities.
Succession planning
An aging workforce, rising retirement rates, and competition for specialized talent
make succession planning a fiscal and operational a priority for public sector
organizations.
By identifying critical roles, assessing workforce risk, building internal talent
pipelines, and integrating succession planning with broader workforce strategies,
Baker Tilly helps organizations preserve institutional knowledge and maintain
continuity, today, and into the future.
Economic development
Successful economic development depends on disciplined planning, sound financial
analysis and coordinated execution. Public sector leaders must balance incentives,
infrastructure investment, funding opportunities and stakeholder priorities while
maintaining fiscal responsibility.
Baker Tilly’s supports local governments with strategic and financial planning,
incentive structuring and negotiation, tax increment financing administration, project
financing, grant strategy, and economic and fiscal impact analysis. This integrated
approach helps leaders move from vision to action, strengthening communities and
advancing sustainable, long-term growth.

Dear Baker Tilly US, LLP:
We are providing this letter in connection with your audit of the financial statements of the Village of Fox Point as of
December 31, 2025 and for the year then ended for the purpose of expressing opinions as to whether the financial
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village and the
respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where applicable, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). We confirm that we are responsible for the fair
presentation of the previously mentioned financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. We are also responsible for adopting sound accounting policies,
establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, and preventing and detecting fraud.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are
considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that,
in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the
information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. An omission or misstatement that is
monetarily small in amount could be considered material as a result of qualitative factors.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your audit.
Financial Statements
1) We have fulfilled our responsibilities, as set out in the terms of the audit engagement letter dated
November 22, 2021, including our responsibility for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

generally accepted in the United States of America. We have engaged you to advise us in fulfilling that
responsibility. The financial statements include all properly classified funds of the primary government and

to be included in the financial reporting entity.

relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

prevent and detect fraud.

if any, are reasonable in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
6) All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements and for which accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America require adjustment or disclosure have been adjusted or
disclosed. No other events, including instances of noncompliance, have occurred subsequent to the
financial statement date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in
the aforementioned financial
statements.
7) All material transactions have been recorded in the accounting records and are reflected in the financial
statements.
8) All known audit and bookkeeping adjustments have been included in our financial statements, and we are
in agreement with those adjustments.

when preparing the financial statements. There are no unasserted claims or assessments that our lawyer
has advised us are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with
accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

properly recorded or disclosed.
Information Provided

Changes to the financial reporting model
GASB Statement 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements, builds on Statement 34 by providing key
targeted improvements to the financial reporting model. Its requirements are designed to:
• Enhance the effectiveness of governmental financial reports in providing information essential for
decision making and assessing a government's accountability, and
• Address certain application issues.
The targeted improvements contained in Statement 103 establish or modify existing accounting and
financial reporting requirements related to:
• Management's discussion and analysis - While the overall requirements do not substantially
change management's discussion and analysis, the modifications are meant to improve the
analysis included in this section and provide details about the items that should be discussed as
currently known facts, decisions, or conditions expected to have a significant financial effect in the
subsequent period.
• Unusual or infrequent items (previously known as extraordinary and special items) - The new
statement simplifies GASB literature by eliminating the separate presentation of extraordinary and
special items. Under the requirement of Statement 103, applicable items will either be identified
as unusual or infrequent, or both.
• Presentation of the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net
position - The changes are designed to improve consistency around the classification of items in
these statements by better defining what should be included in operating revenues and expenses
and nonoperating revenues and expenses including, for example, the addition of subsidies
received or provided as a new category of nonoperating revenues and expenses.
• Major component unit information, and budgetary comparison information - Statement 103 is
designed to improve the consistency of the reporting of major component unit information and
budgetary comparison information by specifying required placement of that information.

Revisions to disclosures for certain capital assets
Governments are required to provide information on capital assets in the footnotes to the financial
statements as outlined in GASB Statement No. 34. Recent standards have impacted the accounting and
reporting for capital assets and as a result GASB issued Statement No. 104, Disclosure of Certain Capital
Assets to provide enhanced disclosures for certain capital assets, including
(a) Lease assets reported under Statement No. 87, intangible right-to-use assets reported under
Statement No. 94 and subscription assets reported under Statement No. 96 should all be
disclosed separately, and by major class of underlying asset. In addition, if there are any other
intangible assets reported they should also be disclosed separately.
(b) Capital assets that are held for sale should have the ending balance with separate disclosure for
historical cost and related accumulated depreciation as well as any outstanding debt for which the
asset is pledged as collateral disclosed by major class of asset. Assets held for sale are defined
as those for which the government has decided to pursue the sale, and it is probable that the sale
will be finalized within one year of the financial statement date.
While these changes are focused on footnote disclosures it is important to plan ahead to ensure the
required information is available for implementation.
Updated guidance for the financial reporting of subsequent events
GASB Statement No. 105, Subsequent Events, which supersedes GASB Statement No. 56, is intended
to enhance consistency in the application of requirements for subsequent events.
The Statement defines subsequent events as transactions or other events that occur after year end but
before the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The date the financial statements are
available to be issued is the date at which (a) the financial statements are complete in a form and format
that complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and (b) approvals necessary for
issuance have been obtained, or typically the opinion date. The definition of subsequent events in this
Statement modifies the subsequent events time frame throughout the GASB literature.
The Statement also clarifies:
• The different types of subsequent events (recognized and nonrecognized events)
• When note disclosures are required
• The information that should be included in those note disclosures

Two-way audit communications
As part of our audit of your financial statements, we are providing communications to you throughout the
audit process. Auditing requirements provide for two-way communication and are important in assisting
the auditor and you with more information relevant to the audit.
As this past audit is concluded, we use what we have learned to begin the planning process for next
year's audit. It is important that you understand the following points about the scope and timing of our
next audit:
a. We address the significant risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, through
our detailed audit procedures.
b. We will obtain an understanding of the five components of internal control sufficient to assess the
risk of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to error or fraud, and to
design the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures. We will obtain a sufficient
understanding by performing risk assessment procedures to evaluate the design of controls
relevant to an audit of financial statements and to determine whether they have been
implemented. We will use such knowledge to:
• Identify types of potential misstatements
• Consider factors that affect the risks of material misstatement
• Design tests of controls, when applicable and substantive procedures
c. We will not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or
compliance with laws, regulations and provisions of contracts or grant programs.
d. The concept of materiality recognizes that some matters, either individually or in the aggregate,
are important for fair presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles while other matters are not important. In performing the audit, we are
concerned with matters that, either individually or in the aggregate, could be material to the
financial statements. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance that material misstatements, whether caused by errors or fraud, are detected.
Our audit will be performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America.
We are very interested in your views regarding certain matters. Those matters are listed here:
a. We typically will communicate with your top level of management unless you tell us otherwise.
b. We understand that the governing board has the responsibility to oversee the strategic direction
of your organization, as well as the overall accountability of the entity. Management has the
responsibility for achieving the objectives of the entity.
c. We need to know your views about your organization's objectives and strategies, and the related
business risks that may result in material misstatements.
d. We anticipate that the Village will receive an unmodified opinion on its financial statement.
e. Which matters do you consider warrant particular attention during the audit, and are there any
areas where you request additional procedures to be undertaken?
f. Have you had any significant communications with regulators or grantor agencies?
g. Are there other matters that you believe are relevant to the audit of the financial statements?
DRAFT 06/30/2026
Page 27 of 114
© 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 26
Also, is there anything that we need to know about the attitudes, awareness and actions of the governing
body concerning:
a. The entity's internal control and its importance in the entity, including how those charged with
governance oversee the effectiveness of internal control?
b. The detection or the possibility of fraud?
We also need to know if you have taken actions in response to developments in financial reporting, laws,
accounting standards, governance practices or other related matters, or in response to previous
communications with us.
With regard to the timing of our audit, here is some general information. If necessary, we may do
preliminary financial audit work during the months of October-December, and sometimes early in January.
Our final financial fieldwork is scheduled during the spring to best coincide with your readiness and report
deadlines. After fieldwork, we wrap up our financial audit procedures at our office and may issue drafts of
our report for your review. Final copies of our report and other communications are issued after approval
by your staff. This is typically 6-12 weeks after final fieldwork, but may vary depending on a number of
factors.
Keep in mind that while this communication may assist us with planning the scope and timing of the audit,
it does not change the auditor's sole responsibility to determine the overall audit strategy and the audit
plan, including the nature, timing and extent of procedures necessary to obtain sufficient appropriate audit
evidence.
We realize that you may have questions on what this all means, or wish to provide other feedback. We
welcome the opportunity to hear from you.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Village Board of
Village of Fox Point
Opinions
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Fox Point (the
Village), as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements,
which collectively comprise the Village's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the Village of Fox Point, Wisconsin, as of December 31, 2025
and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then
ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors'
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be
independent of the Village and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical
requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the
Village's ability to continue as a
going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our
opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when
it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of
internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in
the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial
statements.
i
DRAFT 06/30/2026
Page 32 of 114
In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures
include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the
Village's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the
Village's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control-related matters that
we identified during the audit.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required
supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents, be presented to supplement the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial
statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential
part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of
inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other
knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or
provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient
evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the Village's basic financial statements. The supplementary information as listed in the table of
contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information
has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial
statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all
material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
December 31, 2025
(Unaudited)
iii
The Village of Fox Point (Village) offers the readers of the Village's financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The
discussion and analysis presents the highlights of financial activities and financial position for the Village.
Since the analysis focuses on significant financial issues, major financial activities and resulting changes
in financial position, budget changes and variances from the budget and specific issues related to funds
and the economic factors currently affecting the Village, please read it in conjunction with the Village's
financial statements following this section.
Financial Highlights
The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the Village ex ceeded its liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources at the close of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 by $39,732,040. Of
this amount, the governmental activities net position totaled $13,115,788, while the business-type
activities net position totaled $26,616,252.
The Village's total net position increased by $232,504, governmental net position decreased by
$61,224 and the business-type net position increased by $293,728.
As of December 31, 2025, the Village's governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $5,970,460 an increase of $456,119 in comparison with the prior fiscal year.
Approximately 69% of this total amount, $4,061,382, is fund balance that is committed and
unassigned and therefore available for spending at the government's discretion.
As of December 31, 2025, the total unassigned fund balance for the General Fund was
$3,847,736 or 49% of total General Fund expenditures of $7,855,196.
As of December 31, 2025, the Village's propriet ary funds reported combined total net position of
$26,616,252 an increase of $293,728 in comparison with the prior fiscal year and a total
unrestricted net position of $5,771,412.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the Village's basic financial
statements. The Village's basic financial statements comprise three components: (1) Government-wide
financial statements, (2) Fund financial statements and (3) Notes to the financial statements. This report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
Village's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The government-wide financial
statements include a statement of net position and a statement of activities. These statements provide
both long-term and short-term information about the Village's overall financial status.
The statement of net position presents information on all of the Village's assets, deferred outflows,
deferred inflows and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time,
increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of
the Village is improving or deteriorating.

iv
The statement of activities presents information showing how the Village's net position changed during
the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event
giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and
expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods such as revenues pertaining to uncollected taxes and earned, but unused, vacation leave.
These government-wide financial statements distinguish governmental activities of the Village that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, such as grants, from business-type
activities that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and
charges. Governmental activities include general government, public safety, public works, health and
human services, leisure activities and conservation and development. Business-type activities include
Water, Sewer and Storm Water Utilities.
The government-wide financial statements are presented on pages 1 - 2 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements
Traditional users of the Village's financial statements will find the fund financial statement presentation to
be more familiar. The focus is now on major funds rather than fund types.
The fund financial statements are designed to report information about groupings of related accounts that
are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives.
The Village, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to insure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements.
Within the basic financial statements, fund financial statements focus on the Village's most significant
funds rather than the Village as a whole. Major funds are separately reported while all other funds are
combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for nonmajor funds is provided in
the form of combined statements in a later section of this report.
All of the funds of the Village can be divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds
and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. Unlike the government-
wide financial statements, however, the governmental funds financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as, on balances of spendable resources available at
the end of the fiscal year. This information may be useful in evaluating a government's near-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues,
expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
A budgetary comparison statement is included for the General Fund, which is a major fund. Data from the
nonmajor governmental funds is combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for
each of these nonmajor funds is provided in the form of combining statements located within the
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements. These statements and
schedules demonstrate compliance with the Village's adopted and final revised budget.

The basic governmental fund financial statements are presented on pages 3 - 6 of this report.
Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds are generally used to account for services for which the Village
charges customers a fee and are reported in the fund financial statements. There are two kinds of
proprietary funds. These are enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds essentially
encompass the same functions reported as business-type activities in the government-wide statements.
The Village uses enterprise funds to account for its water, sewer and storm water operations, which
provide services to customers external to the Village organization. Internal service funds provide services
and charge fees to customers within the Village organization. The Village of Fox Point has no internal
service funds.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements, only
in more detail. The Water Utility, Sewer Utility and Storm Water Utility Funds are major funds and are
therefore presented separately within the proprietary fund financial statements.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 7 - 11 of this report.
Fiduciary Funds - Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the Village government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide financial
statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the Village's own programs.
Total assets of the fiduciary funds were $30,476,747. The basic fiduciary fund financial statement can be
found on pages 12 - 13 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
- The accompanying notes to the financial statements provide
information essential to a full understanding of the government-wide and fund financial statements. The
notes to the financial statements begin on page 15 of this report.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds are
presented following the notes to the financial statements. Combining and individual fund statements and
schedules can be found on pages 65 - 66 of this report.

The largest portion of the Village of Fox Point's net position reflects its net investment in capital assets
(e.g., land, buildings, machinery and equipment, infrastructure). The Village of Fox Point uses these
capital assets to provide services to citizens and these assets are not available for future spending.
Although the investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the
resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets
themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
Total net position for governmental activities decreased by $61,224 during the current fiscal year.
Total net position for business-type activities increased by $293,728 during the current fiscal year.

Financial Analysis of the Governmental Funds
Governmental Funds - The focus of the Village of Fox Point's governmental funds is to provide
information on short-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is
useful in assessing the Village's financing requirements. In particular, unassigned fund balance may
serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of a fiscal
year.
As of December 31, 2025, the Village of Fox Point's governmental funds - General Fund, Debt Service,
Capital Projects Fund and Nonmajor Governmental Funds - reported a combined ending fund balances of
$5,970,460. Of this amount, $1,909,078 is restricted or nonspendable to indicate that the funds are not
available for spending because it has already been restricted to pay for debt ($885,370), restricted for
capital projects ($929,951) and prepaid health insurance premiums and delinquent personal property
taxes ($93,757). The fund balance also includes $4,061,382 that is available for spending at the
government's discretion (committed and unassigned fund balance). Of this amount, $213,646 is
committed for use in the Nonmajor Governmental Funds and $3,847,736 remains unassigned in the
general fund. The unassigned fund balance represents 21% of the governmental fund expenditures. Total
fund balance represents approximately 32% of the governmental fund expenditures in comparison.

and capital equipment. The ending fund balance was $929,951, an increase of $929,951 from the 2024
ending fund balance of $0.
The remaining funds are comprised of the Village's Special Revenue Funds (Recycling Fund, Pool Fund,
Inspection Fund) and the Debt Service Fund. The Special Revenue Funds account for grants and fees
designated for major Village programs - recycling, municipal pool and inspection services. The Debt
Service Fund is used to account for general obligation debt that is supported by property tax revenues. At
the end of 2025, the fund balance of the nonmajor funds decreased by $66,080. During 2025, the special
revenue funds generated $459,539 in revenue, primarily from intergovernmental sources ($58,585),
charges for services ($190,634) and licenses and permit fees ($208,680). Total expenditures were
$598,047 with the majority - $188,694- for inspection services, $296,072- for recycling operations and
$113,281 - for pool operations.

found in the government-wide financial statements, but in more detail.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Net
Position the cost of these assets is capitalized and they are depreciated over their
estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense in the Statement of Activities.
Capital outlay is reported as an expenditure in the fund financial statements but is
capitalized in the government-wide financial statements 2,930,067
Some items reported as capital outlay were not capitalized (1,249,092)
Capital assets contributed to storm water (369,678)
Depreciation is reported in the government-wide financial statements (908,960)
Net book value of assets retired (289,255)
Receivables not currently available are reported as revenue when collected or currently
available in the fund financial statements but are recognized as revenue when earned in the
government-wide financial statements.
Project reimbursements (1,110,259)
Debt issued provides current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt
increases long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. Repayment of debt principal
is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities
in the Statement of Net Position.
Debt issued (6,165,000)
Principal repaid 6,129,700
Governmental funds report debt premiums and discounts as other financing sources (uses)
or financing sources or uses. However, in the Statement of Net Position, these are reported
as additions to or deductions from long-term debt. These are allocated over the period the
debt is outstanding in the Statement of Activities and are reported as interest expense.
Debt premium on debt issued (249,973)

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Village of Fox Point, Wisconsin (the Village) conform to accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applicable to governmental units. The
accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles
is the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
Reporting Entity
This report includes all of the funds of the Village. The reporting entity for the Village consists of the
primary government and its component units. Component units are legally separate organizations for
which the primary government is financially accountable or other organizations for which the nature
and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that their exclusion would
cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading. The Village has not identified any
organizations that meet this criteria.
Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting
government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity except for fiduciary funds.
The statements distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental
activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other
nonexchange revenues. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to
external parties for goods or services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly
identifiable with a specific function or segment. The Village does not allocate indirect expenses to
functions in the statement of activities. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or
applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a
given function or segment, and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the
operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not
included among program revenues are reported as general revenues. Internally dedicated
resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues.
Fund Financial Statements
Financial statements of the
Village are organized into funds, each of which is considered to be a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for by providing a separate set of
self-balancing accounts, which constitute its assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities,
deferred inflows of resources, net position/fund balance, revenues and expenditures/expenses.
Funds are organized as major funds or nonmajor funds within the
governmental and proprietary
statements. An emphasis is placed on major funds within the governmental and proprietary
categories. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the Village or meets the
following criteria:
a. Total assets/deferred outflows of resources, liabilities/deferred inflows of resources,
revenues or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are
at least 10% of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type, and
b. The same element of the individual governmental or enterprise fund that met the 10% test
is at least 5% of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds
combined.

c. In addition, any other governmental or enterprise fund that the Village believes is
particularly important to financial statement users may be reported as a major fund.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary
funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate
columns in the fund financial statements.
The Village reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund
General Fund accounts for the Village's primary operating activities. It is used to account for
and report all financial resources except those accounted for and reported in another fund.
Debt Service Fund
Debt Service Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed or assigned to expenditure for the payment of general long-term debt principal,
interest and related costs, other than TID or enterprise debt.
Capital Projects Fund
Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed or assigned to expenditures for capital outlays, including the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and other capital assets for the capital program.
Enterprise Funds
The Village reports the following major enterprise funds:

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide statement of net position and statement of activities are reported using the
economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the
liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets and
liabilities resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the
exchange takes place. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Taxes receivable for the following year are recorded as receivables and deferred inflows.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider are met.
Special assessments are recorded as revenue when earned. Unbilled
receivables are recorded as revenues when services are provided.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are charges between the Village's water,
sewer and storm water utilities and various other functions of the government. Elimination of these
charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned.
Fund Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources
measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period.
For this purpose, the
Village considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except
for unmatured interest on long-term debt, claims, judgments, compensated absences and pension
expenditures, which are recorded as a fund liability when expected to be paid with expendable
available financial resources.
Property taxes are recorded in the year levied as receivables and deferred inflows. They are
recognized as revenues in the succeeding year when services financed by the levy are being
provided.
Intergovernmental aids and grants are recognized as revenues in the period the
Village is entitled
to the resources and the amounts are available. Amounts owed to the Village which are not
available are recorded as receivables and unavailable revenues. Amounts received before
eligibility requirements (excluding time requirements) are met are recorded as liabilities. Amounts
received in advance of meeting time requirements are recorded as deferred inflows.
Revenues susceptible to accrual include property taxes, miscellaneous taxes, public charges for
services, special assessments and interest. Other general revenues such as fines and forfeitures,
inspection fees, recreation fees and miscellaneous revenues are recognized when received in
cash or when measurable and available under the criteria described above.
Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
Proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as described previously in this note.

The proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items.
Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and
delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal
operating revenues of the water, sewer and storm water utilities are charges to customers for sales
and services. Special assessments are recorded as receivables and contribution revenue when
levied. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the cost of sales and services,
administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
All Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources and disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Assets, Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net
Position or Equity
Deposits and Investments
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Village considers all highly liquid investments with
an initial maturity of three months or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
Investment of Village funds is restricted by Wisconsin state statutes. Available investments are
limited to:
a. Time deposits in any credit union, bank, savings bank or trust company.
b. Bonds or securities of any county, city, drainage district, technical college district, village,
town or school district of the state. Also, bonds issued by a local exposition district, a local
professional baseball park district, a local professional football stadium district, a local
cultural arts district, the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority or the
Wisconsin Aerospace Authority.
c. Bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government.
d. The local government investment pool.
e. Any security maturing in seven years or less and having the highest or second highest
rating category of a nationally recognized rating agency.
f. Securities of an open-end management investment company or investment trust, subject to
various conditions and investment options.
g. Repurchase agreements with public depositories, with certain conditions.
The
Village has adopted an investment policy. That policy follows the state statute for allowable
investments.

Investments are stated at fair value, which is the amount at which an investment could be
exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.
No investments are reported at
amortized cost. Adjustments necessary to record investments at fair value are recorded in the
operating statement as increases or decreases in investment income. Investment income on
commingled investments of municipal accounting funds is allocated
based on average balances.
The difference between the bank statement balance and carrying value is due to outstanding
checks and/or deposits in transit.
The Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is part of the State Investment Fund
(SIF) and is managed by the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. The SIF is not registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, but operates under the statutory authority of Wisconsin
Chapter 25. The SIF reports the fair value of its underlying assets annually. Participants in the
LGIP have the right to withdraw their funds in total on one day's notice. At December 31, 2025, the
fair value of the Village's share of the LGIP's assets was substantially equal to the amount as
reported in these statements.
See Note 3 for further information.
Receivables
Property taxes are levied in December on the assessed value as of the prior January 1. In addition
to property taxes for the Village, taxes are collected for and remitted to the county government as
well as the local school district and technical college district. Taxes for all state and local
governmental units billed in the current year for the succeeding year are reflected as receivables
and due to other taxing units on the accompanying statement of fiduciary net position.
Property tax calendar - 2025 tax roll:
Lien date and levy date December 2025
Tax bills mailed December 2025
Payment in full, or January 31, 2026
First installment due January 31, 2026
Second installment due March 31, 2026
Third installment due May 31, 2026
Tax sale - 2025 delinquent real estate taxes October 2028
Delinquent real estate taxes as of July 31 are paid in full by the County, which assumes the
collection thereof. No provision for uncollectible accounts receivable has been made for the water,
sewer and storm water utilities because they have the right by law to place substantially all
delinquent bills on the tax roll and other delinquent bills are generally not significant.
During the course of operations, transactions occur between individual funds that may result in
amounts owed between funds. Short-term interfund loans are reported as "due to and from other
funds." Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other
funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmental activities are
eliminated in the statement of net position. Any residual balances outstanding between the
governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the governmental-wide financial
statements as internal balances.
Inventories and Prepaid Items
Governmental fund inventory items are charged to expenditure accounts when purchased. Year-
end inventory was not significant. Proprietary fund inventories are generally used for construction
and/or for operation and maintenance work. They are not for resale. They are valued at cost
based on weighted average and charged to construction and/or operation and maintenance
expense when used.

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements. The cost of prepaid items
is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when purchased.
Capital Assets
Government-Wide Financial Statements
Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment
(including right-to-use lease
assets), are reported in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined
by the government as assets with an initial cost of more than $2,500 general capital assets
and $5,000 for infrastructure assetsand an estimated useful life in excess of one year. All
capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual amounts are
unavailable. Donated capital assets are recorded at their estimated acquisition value at the
date of donation.
Additions to and replacements of capital assets of business-type activities are recorded at
original cost, which includes material, labor and overhead. The cost of renewals and
betterments relating to retirement units is added to plant accounts. The cost of property
replaced, retired or otherwise disposed of, is deducted from plant accounts and, generally,
together with removal costs less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation and amortization of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated
expense in the statement of activities, with accumulated depreciation and amortization
reflected in the statement of net position. Depreciation and amortization is provided over the
assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful
lives by type of asset is as follows:
Buildings 50-75 Years
Land improvements 20 Years
Machinery and equipment 7-30 Years
Utility system 50 Years
Infrastructure 40 Years
Intangibles 5 Years
Fund Financial Statements
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are
accounted for as capital outlay expenditures of the governmental fund upon acquisition.
Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the
government-wide statements.
Deferred Outflows of Resources
A deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future
period and will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until that future
time.
A deferred charge on refunding arises from the advance refunding of debt. The difference between
the cost of the securities placed in trust for future payments of the refunded debt and the net
carrying value of that debt is deferred and amortized as a component of interest expense over the
shorter of the term of the refunding issue or the original term of the refunded debt. The
unamortized amount is reported as a deferred outflow of resources in the government-wide and
proprietary fund financial statements.

Compensated Absences
Under terms of employment, employees are granted vacations in varying amounts.
Vacation pay is accrued in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements. A
liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if they have matured, for
example, as a result of employee resignations and retirements, and are payable with expendable
resources.
Payments for vacation will be made at rates in effect when the benefits are used. Accumulated
vacation liabilities at December 31, 2025, are determined on the basis of current salary rates and
include salary related payments.
Long-Term Obligations
All long-term obligations to be repaid from governmental and business-type resources are reported
as liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term obligations consist primarily of
notes and bonds payable, pension and OPEB obligations.
Long-term obligations for governmental funds are not reported as liabilities in the fund financial
statements. The face value of debts (plus any premiums) are reported as other financing sources
and payments of principal and interest are reported as expenditures. The accounting in proprietary
funds is the same as it is in the government-wide statements.
For the government-wide statements and proprietary fund statements, bond premiums and
discounts are amortized over the life of the issue using the straight-line method. The balance at
year end is shown as an increase or decrease in the liability section of the statement of net
position.
Leases
The Village is a lessor because it leases capital assets to other entities. As a lessor, the Village
reports a lease receivable and corresponding deferred inflow of resources in both the fund financial
statements and government-wide financial statements. The Village continues to report and
depreciate the capital assets being leased as capital assets of the primary government.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
A deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future
period and therefore will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that future
time.
Equity Classifications
Government-Wide Statements
Equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net Investment in Capital Assets - Consists of capital assets including restricted
capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation/amortization and reduced by the
outstanding balances (excluding unspent debt proceeds) of any bonds, mortgages,
notes or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or
improvement of those assets.
21
DRAFT 06/30/2026
Page 67 of 114
Village of Fox Point
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
b. Restricted Net Position - Consists of net position with constraints placed on their use
either by 1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or
regulations of other governments or, 2) law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.
c. Unrestricted Net Position - All other net positions that do not meet the definitions of
"restricted" or "net investment in capital assets."
The net position section includes an adjustment for capital assets owned by the business-type
activities column, but financed by the debt of the governmental activities column. The amount
is a reduction of "net investment in capital assets" and an increase in "unrestricted" net
position, shown only in the total column. A reconciliation of this adjustment is as follows:
Governmental
Activities
Business-Type
Activities Adjustment Total
Net investment in capital assets $ 13,125,999 $ 20,844,840 $ (2,758,554) $ 31,212,285
Unrestricted (1,587,998) 5,771,412 2,758,554 6,941,968
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Village's policy
to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
Fund Statements
Governmental fund balances are displayed as follows:
a. Nonspendable - Includes fund balance amounts that cannot be spent either because
they are not in spendable form or because legal or contractual requirements require
them to be maintained intact.
b. Restricted - Consists of fund balances with constraints placed on their use either by
1) external groups such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of
other governments or 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
c. Committed - Includes fund balance amounts that are constrained for specific
purposes that are internally imposed by the government through formal action of the
highest level of decision making authority. Fund balance amounts are committed
through a formal action (resolution) of the Village Board. This formal action must occur
prior to the end of the reporting period, but the amount of the commitment, which will
be subject to the constraints, may be determined in the subsequent period. Any
changes to the constraints imposed require the same formal action of the
Village
Board that originally created the commitment.
d. Assigned - Includes spendable fund balance amounts that are intended to be used for
specific purposes that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or
committed.
The Village Board has, by resolution, adopted a financial policy authorizing
the Village Manager to assign amounts for a specific purpose. Assignments may take
place after the end of the reporting period.
e. Unassigned - Includes residual positive fund balance within the general fund which
has not been classified within the other above mentioned categories. Unassigned fund
balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures
exceed amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those purposes.
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.

The Village considers restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted
fund balance is available unless there are legal documents / contracts that prohibit doing this,
such as in grant agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the Village would
then first use committed, then assigned and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund
balance when expenditures are made.
The Village has a formal minimum fund balance policy. That policy is to maintain the Village's
General Fund fund balance as of January 1st of each year to be no less than 10% of that
year's adopted General Fund operating budget. The General Fund fund balance at year end
was $3,941,493 or approximately 48% of the 2026 General Fund operating budget.
See Note 3 for further information.
Pension
The fiduciary net position of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) has been determined using
the flow of economic resources measurement focus and accrual basis of accounting. This includes
for purposes of measuring the following:
Net Pension Liability (Asset);
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions;
and
Pension Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary net position of the WRS and additions to/deductions from WRS'
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by the WRS.
For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized
when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions (OPEB)
The fiduciary net position of the Local Retiree Life Insurance Fund (LRLIF) has been determined
using the flow of economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
This includes for purposes of measuring following:
Net OPEB Liability (Asset);
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Other
Postemployment Benefits; and
OPEB Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary net position of the LRLIF and additions to/deductions from LRLIF's
fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by LRLIF. For
this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of member contributions) are recognized when
due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.

The Village controls expenditures at the fund level. Some individual departments experienced
expenditures which exceeded appropriations. The detail of those items can be found in the Village's
year-end budget to actual report.
Limitations on the Village's Tax Levy
Wisconsin law limits the Village's future tax levies. Generally the Village is limited to its prior tax levy
dollar amount (excluding TIF Districts), increased by the greater of the percentage change in the
Village's equalized value due to net new construction or zero percent. Changes in debt service from
one year to the next are generally exempt from this limit with certain exceptions. The Village is required
to reduce its allowable levy by the estimated amount of fee revenue it collects for certain services, if
those services were funded in 2013 by the property tax levy. Levies can be increased above the
allowable limits if the amount is approved by referendum.

Total deposits and investments $ 30,902,398
Deposits in each local and area bank are insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for time and
savings accounts (including NOW accounts) and $250,000 for demand deposit accounts
(interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing). In addition, if deposits are held in an institution outside of
the state in which the government is located, insured amounts are further limited to a total of $250,000
for the combined amount of all deposit accounts.
Bank accounts are also insured by the State Deposit Guarantee Fund in the amount of $1,000,000.
However, due to the nature of this fund, recovery of material principal losses may not be significant to
individual municipalities. This coverage has been considered in computing custodial credit risk.
The
Village maintains collateral agreements with its banks. At December 31, 2025, the banks had
pledged various government securities in the amount of $22,734,182 to secure the Village's deposits.
Custodial Credit Risk

Receivables
All of the receivables on the balance sheet are expected to be collected within one year, except for
$9,860 of delinquent personal property taxes and $1,610,433 of lease receivables.
Governmental funds report unavailable or unearned revenue in connection with receivables for
revenues that are not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Property
taxes levied for the subsequent year are not earned and cannot be used to liquidate liabilities of the
current period. Governmental funds also defer revenue recognition in connection with resources that
have been received, but not yet earned. At the end of the current fiscal year, the various components
of unavailable revenue and unearned revenue reported in the governmental funds were as follows:
Unearned
Property taxes receivable for subsequent year $ 8,197,104
Unearned lease revenue 1,629,827
Total unearned/unavailable revenue for governmental funds $ 9,826,931

Employees' Retirement System
Plan Description
The WRS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan. WRS benefits and
other plan provisions are established by Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Benefit terms may
only be modified by the legislature. The retirement system is administered by the Wisconsin
Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF). The system provides coverage to all eligible State of
Wisconsin, local government and other public employees. All employees, initially employed by a
participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, expected to work at least 1,200 hours a year
(880 hours for teachers and school district educational support employees) and expected to be
employed for at least one year from employee's date of hire are eligible to participate in the WRS.
ETF issues a standalone Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR), which can be found at
https://etf.wi.gov/about-etf/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-and-statements.
Additionally, ETF issued a standalone Wisconsin Retirement System Financial Report, which can
also be found using the link above.
Vesting
For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990, and no longer actively
employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years is required for eligibility
for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990 and on or after April 24, 1998, and
prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested. Participants who initially became WRS eligible on or
after July 1, 2011, must have five years of creditable service to be vested.
Benefits Provided
Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupation employees, 62 for elected
officials and executive service retirement participants, if hired on or before December 31, 2016) are
entitled to a retirement benefi
t based on a formula factor, their final average earnings and
creditable service.
Final average earnings is the average of the participant's three highest annual earnings period.
Creditable service includes current service and prior service for which a participant received
earnings and made contributions as required. Creditable service also includes creditable military
service. The retirement benefit will be calculated as a money purchase benefit based on the
employee's contributions plus matching employer's contributions, with interest, if that benefit is
higher than the formula benefit.
Vested participants may
retire at age 55 (50 for protective occupations) and receive an
actuarially-reduced benefit. Participants terminating covered employment prior to eligibility
for an
annuity may either receive employee-required contributions plus interest as a separation benefit or
leave contributions on deposit and defer application until eligible to receive a retirement benefit.
The WRS also provides death and disability
benefits for employees.

Postretirement Adjustments
The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity payments from the retirement
system based on annual investment performance in accordance with s. 40.27, Wis. Stat. An
increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when investment gains (losses), together
with other actuarial experience factors, create a surplus (shortfall) in the reserves, as determined
by the system's consulting actuary. Annuity increases are not based on cost of living or other
similar factors. For Core annuities, decreases may be applied only to previously granted increases.
By law, Core annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the original, guaranteed amount
(the floor) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity adjustments granted during recent
years are as follows:
Year
Core Fund
Adjustment %

Contributions
Required contributions are determined by an annual actuarial valuation in accordance with Chapter
40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The employee required contribution is one-half of the actuarially
determined contribution rate for General category employees, including Teachers, Executives and
Elected Officials. Starting on January 1, 2016, the Executives and Elected Officials category was
merged into the General Employee category. Required contributions for protective employees are
the same rate as general employees. Employers are required to contribute the remainder of the
actuarially determined contribution rate. The employer may not pay the employee required
contribution unless provided for by an existing collective bargaining agreement.
During the reporting period, the WRS recognized $364,500 in contributions from the Village.
Contribution rates for the plan year reported as of December 31, 2025 are:

Pension Liability, Pension Expense (Revenue), Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred
Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At December 31, 2025, the Village reported a liability of $413,574 for its proportionate share of the
net pension liability. The net pension liability was measured as of December 31, 2024, and the total
pension liability used to calculate the net pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation
as of December 31, 2023 rolled forward to December 31, 2024. No material changes in
assumptions or benefit terms occurred between the actuarial valuation date and the measurement
date. The
Village's proportion of the net pension liability was based on the Village's share of
contributions to the pension plan relative to the contributions of all participating employers. At
December 31, 2024, the Village's proportion was 0.02516939%, which was a decrease of
0.00002480% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2023.

Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a
building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return
(expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each
major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by
weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by
adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of geometric real rates of return
for each major asset class are summarized in the following table:

Single Discount Rate
A single discount rate of 6.8% was used to measure the total pension liability for the current and
prior year. This discount rate is based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments
of 6.8% and a municipal bond rate of 4.08% (Source: "20-Bond GO Index" is the Bond Buyer
Index, general obligation, 20 years to maturity, mixed quality as of December 31, 2024. In
describing this index, the Bond Buyer notes that the bonds' average quality is roughly equivalent to
Moody's Investors Service's Aa2 rating and Standard and Poor's Corp.'s AA.). Because of the
unique structure of WRS, the 6.8% expected rate of return implies that a dividend of approximately
1.7% will always be paid. For purposes of the single discount rate, it was assumed that the
dividend would always be paid. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount
rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that
employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary
net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments (including
expected dividends) of current plan members. Therefore, the investment rate of return on pension
plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total
pension liability.

Risk Management
The Village is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to or destruction of
assets; errors and omissions; workers compensation; and health care of its employees. All of these
risks are covered through the purchase of commercial insurance, with minimal deductibles. Settled
claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three years. There were no
significant reductions in coverage compared to the prior year.42

Commitments and Contingencies
Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the conditions of Governmental Accounting
Standards Board pronouncements are met. The liability and expenditure for claims and judgments are
only reported in governmental funds if it has matured. Claims and judgments are recorded in the
government-wide statements and proprietary funds as expenses when the related liabilities are
incurred.
The Village has received federal and state grants for specific purposes that are subject to review and
audit by the grantor agencies. Such audits could lead to requests for reimbursements to the grantor
agency for expenditures disallowed under terms of the grants. Management believes such
disallowances, if any, would be immaterial.
The Village has active construction projects as of December 31, 2025. Work that has been completed
on these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retainages) is reflected as accounts payable
and expenditures.
Joint Ventures
North Shore Water Commission
The Village of Fox Point, City of Glendale and the Village of Whitefish Bay jointly operate the local
supply and filtration system, which is called the North Shore Water Commission (NSWC) and
provides water supply and filtration. The communities share in the operation proportionately based
upon water sold to each participant.
The governing body is made up of citizens from each municipality. Local representatives are
appointed by the municipalities. The governing body has authority to adopt its own budget and
control the financial affairs of the commission.
Debt is repaid with resources of the utility and is secured by the assets and revenues of NSWC.
The transactions of the Commission are not reflected in these financial statements. $309,330 of
operating costs represents the Village's share for the North Shore Water Commission which is
expected to continue to provide services in the future at similar rates. Financial information of the
North Shore Water Commission as of December 31, 2025 is available directly from the NSWC
office.
The Village accounts for its share of the operations in the water utility fund. The Village has an
equity interest in the NSWC equal to its percentage share of participation. The equity interest is
reported in the statement of net position as an asset and the amount of change for the year is
reflected on the statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position.

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

Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets
The long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected inflation to expected
long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and correlation. Investments for the
LRLIF are held with Securian, the insurance carrier. Interest is calculated and credited to the
LRLIF based on the rate of return for a segment of the insurance carriers' general fund,
specifically 10-year A-Bonds (as a proxy, and not tied to any specific investments). The overall
aggregate interest rate is calculated using a tiered approach based on the year the funds were
originally invested and the rate of return for that year. Investment interest is credited based on
the aggregate rate of return and assets are not adjusted to fair market value. Furthermore, the
insurance carrier guarantees the principal amounts of the reserves, including all interest
previously credited thereto.

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