AGREEMENT FOR
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
This Agreement, by and between Wachtel Tree Science & Service, Inc. (WACHTEL) and the
Village of Fox Point (VILLAGE), effective upon the date of signature by VILLAGE below, shall
provide professional services as stated herein.
The VILL
AGE and WACHTEL in consideration of their mutual understanding herein, agree in
respect of the furnishing of professional services by WACHTEL with respect to identified project
items and the payment for those services by the VILLAGE as set forth below.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
WACHTEL and Ruekert-Mielke will perform an innovative urban forest canopy analysis within
the municipal boundaries of the VILLAGE. The analysis will consist of a multispectral drone
flight, covering the VILLAGE, to obtain high-resolution data of the urban forest canopy. The
resulting analysis will:
• quantify overall urban forest canopy coverage across the VILLAGE,
• produce a parcel-by-parcel plantable index to guide targeted planting efforts, and
• identify the 6-10 most prevalent tree genera (and species, wherever possible) within
the private-property canopy using machine learning techniques.
The resul
ting data layers will be incorporated into the VILLAGE’s existing GIS application. With
forestry management assistance from WACHTEL, the outcomes will help the VILLAGE
prioritize planting where it will have the greatest benefit by refining future planting initiatives and
highlighting species that may be overrepresented and should be limited or excluded.
The proj
ect items will be completed and delivered to the VILLAGE as indicated in the
“TIMELINE” section of this Agreement. There should be no need for added services in
accomplishing the project items.
Addit
ional services that may be requested in writing by the VILLAGE will be charged on a time
and material basis at the following hourly rates:
Project Manager $ 205.00
Staff Certified Arborist $ 195.00
Clerical Staff Support $ 125.00
TIMELINE & BILLING SCHEDULE
Project items will be completed and billed as hereby indicated unless extenuating circumstances
prevent completion in a timely manner.
1. Multispectral Drone Flight – Data collection will begin no sooner than June 1, 2026, with
actual drone survey anticipated between mid-June and early-July based on leaf-on
conditions. This phase of the project will be billed in two increments: 50% upon
completion of the survey and 50% upon completion of post-acquisition data processing
(i.e., multispectral data and orthophoto).
Wachtel - $5,000.00
RM - $10,000.00
26
2. Ur
ban Forest Canopy Analysis and Data Layers – Initial model development will begin
upon final acceptance of the project agreement, with analysis of the collected
multispectral data beginning after completion of the drone survey and data post-
processing. This phase of the project will be billed in three increments: 20% upon
creation of the NDVI layer, 40% upon creation of the percent canopy coverage and
plantable index layers, and 40% upon identification of the top 6-10 most prevalent tree
genera/species across private-property areas.
Wachtel - $7,000.00
RM - $21,000.00
3. GIS Application Update – Data layers from the project will be integrated into the Village’s

EXHIBIT A
Village of Fox Point – Urban Forest Canopy Analysis
SCOPE
The urban forest canopy analysis will consist of the following components and deliverables:
1. Multispectral Drone Flight
Using Wachtel Tree Science aerial lift equipment as a central vantage point, Ruekert-
Mielke will complete a drone survey of the entire Village with a multispectral imaging
sensor.
a. Wachtel will provide necessary safety equipment, an authorized lift operator(s)
for the duration of the drone flight and secure all necessary safety precautions
around the perimeter of the work site. Wachtel will establish a work zone to
include elevated platform working equipment, providing drone pilot access to
direct line-of-sight during the drone survey. Approximate work site dimensions are
30 feet wide by 40 feet long.
b. Ruekert-Mielke will provide necessary drone and sensor equipment and a
licensed drone pilot(s).
c. The Village will provide access to public properties of Wachtel and Ruekert-
Mielke’s choosing to serve as base of operations during the drone flight. The
Village will be responsible for disseminating informational materials prepared by
Wachtel through existing communication channels. The objective is to inform
residents of the project and what to expect during the planned drone flight.
The drone survey (estimated to take one to two days to complete) shall occur during
leaf-on conditions, with a targeted acquisition time frame of mid-June to early July 2026.
Post-acquisition, raw data from the multispectral imaging sensor will be used for canopy
and species analysis. Additionally, a high-resolution (less than 3-inch per pixel) RGB
orthophoto will be generated and delivered as part of the final data package.
29
2. Ur
ban Forest Canopy Analysis and Data Layers
Using the collected multispectral data and machine learning methods, Ruekert-Mielke
will provide an overall measurement of the urban forest canopy across the Village
through several deliverables.
a. NDVI – Using GIS technology, Ruekert-Mielke will generate a normalized difference
vegetation index (NDVI) layer that analyzes the spectral reflectivity difference
between red and infrared bands. The resulting NDVI layer will provide an
assessment of vegetation “greenness”, relative biomass, and relative vigor of growth
as a potential indicator of changes in plant health.
b. Urban Canopy Coverage – Using a segmentation machine learning approach,
Ruekert-Mielke will produce a Village-wide land cover classification of at least 90%
accuracy. The land cover classification will identify areas of tree canopy coverage
and impervious surface and be used to generate a percent canopy coverage layer at
the parcel scale.
Taking percent canopy coverage and impervious surface areas into account, Wachtel
and Ruekert-Mielke will develop a relative plantable index (e.g., 0 being impervious,
unplantable area and 5 being highly plantable). The plantable index, assigned on a
parcel-by-parcel basis, will provide direction for future planting efforts on private
property.
c. Prevalent Tree Genus/Species - By building object detection computer vision
models, Ruekert-Mielke will identify the top six to seven most prevalent tree genera
(and species, if possible) that exist within the Village’s private property urban forest
canopy. Minimum model accuracy should be at least 80%. Dependent on model
performance, an additional one to three tree genera/species may also be identified.
The Village shall assist in coordinating Wachtel staff access to targeted private
properties for ground-truth verification of training data used in the computer vision
models, if needed.
Knowledge of the most prevalent tree genera/species will highlight which tree
genera/species should be limited, or excluded, from future private-property planting
initiatives.
3. GIS Application Update
All spatial data layers generated as part of this analysis will be provided to the Village.
Based on Village input, Ruekert-Mielke will integrate the chosen layers into the Village’s
existing GIS application. At a minimum, spatial data layers will include a) RGB
orthophoto, b) NDVI layer, c) canopy coverage percentage layer, and d) plantable index
layer (parcel scale). Additional deliverables may include a Village-wide land cover
classification layer and/or separate impervious surface layer and urban canopy gap
layers.
Excluded Items
While the output data layers are project deliverables, the object detection model(s) for
tree genera/species identification is not a specific deliverable.

Supplemental Stormwater Permit Documentation
Section 2 – Public Involvement and Participation
In conjunction with Village staff, Sweet Water prepared a Stormwater Proclamation addressing the
importance of stormwater management and this proclamation was presented to the Village Board at
the August 2025 meeting.
Additionally, the Village of Fox Point partnered with the Maple Dale School Junior Honor Society to
undertake a cleanup of litter along Indian Creek. This occurred twice in 2025 – once in late May/early
June and the other time in October. Fox Point provided gloves, bags and vests for the students and
parent volunteers and the students and other volunteers picked litter along the creek. The litter was
bagged and Fox Point DPW staff collected the garbage bags once their work was completed.
Section 4 – Construction Site Pollutant Control
Four erosion control permits were obtained from the Village of Fox Point in 2025 with a fifth having
been applied for but not approved until 2026. The following table identifies the month,
location/address, type of work being performed and notes associated with each permit. Two other
permits were obtained in 2024 but were active in 2025.

Section 5 – Post-construction Storm Water Management
Prior to 2025, there were two sites in the Village that maintained stormwater maintenance
ponds/basins: the former Cardinal Stritch University BMP (now owned by St. Augustine Preparatory
School – referred to as Aug Prep) located at 6801 North Yates Road and Chiswick Apartments located at
7700 North Port Washington Road. In 2025, Aug Prep received approval from the Village of Fox Point to
reconstruct the property to include athletic fields with new stormwater management features. As a
result, Aug Prep removed the prior stormwater management BMP and no maintenance was performed
on that feature. Once complete, Aug Prep will be required to maintain the basin and submit annual
reports to the Village on maintenance performed within their BMP’s.
Chiswick is also required to submit an annual report to the Village regarding the performance of the
stormwater management basins but neither basin is used by the Village to obtain compliance with the
TMDL goals. Chiswick Apartments does use their basin to obtain credits under our stormwater utility for
reductions in water quantity and improvements to water quality and they have been notified that if the
reports are not submitted timely that there is a risk that the water quantity and quality credits may not
be provided to the parcel. Refer to Attachment III for a summary of the report from Chiswick.
Section 6 – Pollution Prevention
Stormwater Management Facilities. The Village of Fox Point has twenty-three (23) storm water
management facilities located throughout the Village, three of which were installed in 2024:
1. Three rain gardens
a. One is located on the west end of Spooner near Indian Creek Parkway around the
playground parking lot.
b. One is located at Village Hall (7200 North Santa Monica).
c. One is located at the Police Department (7300 North Santa Monica).
d. Each rain garden is inspected each year. All materials are mowed in the fall after the
growing season and, in the spring/summer, invasive species are removed.
2. One proprietary StormGuarden located at Village Hall. This was installed as part of a grant
program with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District. Perennials are located in the
planting beds.
3. Biofiltration swales
a. Three biofiltration swales were installed on Goodrich Lane near our ravines (1200 block
of East Goodrich) and one biofiltration swale was installed on Gray Log Lane just north
of Goodrich in 2018. A regenerative stormwater conveyance channel was also installed
on the ravine slopes as part of a grant program funded, in part, by Fund for Lake
79
Michigan. These areas are inspected a minimum of twice each year to ensure adequate
performance of the swales and to observe vegetative growth.
b. One biofiltration swale located north of the parking lot of the playground at Longacre
South Park (north of Yates Road). This swale was installed in 2015 and handles drainage
from the parking lot, reducing sediment running into the storm sewer system. This
swale is inspected regularly as it is a low-maintenance swale (vegetated) that is mown at
least once every two weeks and is monitored for any problems.
c. Multiple biofiltration swales on Calumet Road (of which I’ve considered the roadside
swales to count as one large biofiltration swale). These were installed in 2019 and
greatly assist with stormwater quantity concerns in the area but also assisted with our
stormwater quality goals (though we have not considered these in our evaluation of
attaining the TMDL goals).
d. A new biofiltration swale was installed in 2021 beginning on the west end of Regent
Court No. 3 that then meanders through the eastern portion of the Indian Creek Park.
e. Bioswales were also installed in the ditch line of four roads in fall 2022. These are
located on Boyd Way (south of Calumet Road), Bywater Lane (east of Lake Drive), Links
Way (south of Calumet Road) and Portage Road (from Lake Drive to Boyd Way). These
were substantially complete in November 2022 and restoration activities occurred in
2023.
f. Multiple biofiltration swales/mini-basins were installed on Beach Drive in 2023 as part
of our resilient infrastructure improvement project along the shoreline. Two were
installed on the north end of Beach Drive adjacent to the shoreline and eight were
installed on the south end of Beach Drive adjacent to the shoreline. For reporting
purposes, these will be considered as two locations – north end and south end.
g. Multiple biofiltration swales were also installed on Bradley Road as part of the
reconstruction of the road in 2024. These are considered as one large biofiltration
swale and assist significantly in addressing our stormwater quantity and quality
objectives but, it is noted, have not been factored into our evaluation of attaining our
TMDL goals.
4. Biofiltration basins
a. A biofiltration basin was installed on Calumet at Crossway in 2019 and is inspected
regularly. The Village Forester received a grant to plan native storm water trees within
the basin (approximately 20) and these were installed in 2021. This basin was not used
to address the TMDL goals but does greatly assist with our stormwater quantity and
quality aspects in this drainage shed.
b. A biofiltration basin was installed on the east end of Acacia adjacent to Lake Drive in
2020 as part of our road reconstruction project. Restoration and planting activities
occurred in the late summer/early fall.
c. A second biofiltration basin was installed on the west end of Acacia adjacent to Santa
Monica Boulevard in 2021 as part of the road reconstruction project. Planting activities
occurred in late summer.
d. A biofiltration basin was also installed on a vacant lot on Greenvale Road in 2021. The
Village acquired the lot from the property owner in 2020 and obtained a DNR grant to
80
incorporate drainage improvements in this drainage shed. The basin was completed
and planted with perennials in June and is monitored regularly to ensure that the
perennials have been established.
e. Two biofiltration basins were installed on Lake Drive just south of Bradley Road as part
of the Bradley Road reconstruction project in 2024.
5. Inspections are performed annually and the results of the inspections are included in
Attachment IV. Of the inspections performed, nine locations required minor maintenance such
as addressing sediment buildup, removing garbage and debris, and remove filter fabric from
inlets.
6. At the request of the Village, Kapur & Associates developed a Green Infrastructure Inventory
Database that is complete. The inventory tracks the locations of the green infrastructure
installations in the Village, the necessary maintenance requirements, geometry, flow
characteristics, water quality characteristics, general cross sections of the green infrastructure,
water storage availability, a picture of the location, a table that will allow for easy tracking of the
inspections performed and a section to attach all necessary inspections. This inventory
currently consists of four large binders and are available for review upon request.
7. Also, at the request of the Village, our GIS consultant Ruekert Mielke is developing a Green
Infrastructure GIS Storyboard so that we can more effectively communicate the benefits of GI to
our residents and business owners. While this is currently under development, we the
storyboard was nearly completed in 2025 but is undergoing final reviews.
Public Works Yards and Catch Basin Cleaning. The Village maintains one DPW yard located at 7200
North Santa Monica Boulevard. The Village contracted with Kapur & Associates to update the
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan and the updated plan was finalized in 2022. The site is regularly
inspected and all catch basins in the DPW yard are cleaned of the debris, sediment and silt on an annual
basis. A total of 81 catch basins throughout the Village are vacuumed on an annual basis. Please note
that in 2025, it was reported that Fox Point vacuumed 53 catch basins; this number represents the total
number of locations where we have catch basins whereas the 81 represents the actual number of catch
basins (e.g., in some areas of the Village, there is more than one catch basin). The list of catch basins
cleaned is shown on Attachment V.
Street Sweeping. Though the Village does not use the credit that could be obtained by street sweeping,
predominantly due to the rural cross section nature of the roads in the Village and the fact that very few
areas have curb and gutter, we still ensure the DPW Yard, Village Hall and the curbed areas along Beach
Drive (the hill) are swept on an annual basis after all leaves have fallen. Box (n) under Collection
Services is unchecked because the Village hires a private contractor for its street sweeping activities and
it is unknown whether the contractor has the low hazard exemption.
Leaf Collection Activities. The Village operates and maintains two leaf vacuums and collects leaves on a
weekly basis from the first week in October through early to mid-December. Residents are instructed to
rake/blow their leaves to the shoulder of the road so as to keep the leaves out of both the driving lane
of traffic as well as the flow line of the ditch. The Village collected approximately 800 to 850 tons of
leaves which were tub ground in early January then hauled off site by a contractor who composts the
leaves and beneficially reuses them.
81
Winter Road Management, Education and Communication. The Village of Fox Point obtained flyers
from Wisconsin Salt Wise and provided documents from them on the Village website in order to educate
residents and others on the proper use of salt. Additionally, the DPW Foreman participated in webinars
during the course of the year as noted in the report. The DPW Foreman also attended a five-hour
seminar/webinar in 2021 to obtain the Wisconsin Salt Wise Certification in February 2021 which
demonstrates knowledge on best management practices associated with snow and ice control. The
certificate is good through February 2026. The DPW Foreman shared lessons learned with other DPW
staff.
Additionally, DPW staff is trained on the proper salting techniques on Village equipment. The typical
training outline is included as Attachment VI.
Section 7 – Storm Sewer System Map. During the summer of 2020, staff retained the services of a
contractor to replace a section of storm sewer pipe on Holly Court. Further investigation revealed that
the flow of the storm sewer pipes was not toward Lake Drive (and, ultimately, Lake Michigan) as
originally thought and as reflected on past storm sewer maps but, rather, was toward the Union Pacific
Railroad which ultimately drains to the Milwaukee River. Kapur & Associates was retained to survey the
storm sewer system in this area in order to appropriately reflect the correct grades and flow of the
pipes. Subsequently, this data was provided to Ruekert Mielke who had prepared the most recent
Stormwater Management Plan Update. They were tasked with evaluating the TMDL impacts to the
Milwaukee River and updating the appropriate sections of the SWMP. The work began in late 2020 and
was completed in 2022. The map was updated to reflect these changes. Approximately 8 acres of land
that was thought to drain to the Lake Michigan drainage shed is now reflected in the Milwaukee River
drainage shed.
Additionally, Fox Point has undertaken a number of road and utility projects the last few years (Beach
Drive, Bradley Road, Lake Drive) and have updated the storm sewer map to reflect the storm sewers
incorporated into the project. The updated map is attached for reference.
Fiscal Evaluation. The report requests amounts spent on the six minimum control measures. Public
education and outreach along with public involvement and participation is coordinated on a regional
effort by Respect our Waters (Sweetwater) and the contribution reflects the Village of Fox Point’s
proportionate share of the expenses. The pollution prevention costs reflect the cost of leaf and yard
waste disposal costs (without factoring in the cost of collection) which are submitted to the DNR for the
recycling grant on an annual basis. The Village also budgeted approximately $271,000 for capital
improvements in 2025 and spent nearly $400,000. Please refer to Attachment VII.

g. February 2027 – Award project to contractor
Response to QuesƟons
1. Shall consultant perform a full topographic survey within the project limits including
the grass area located between the northbound and southbound lanes? The short
answer is yes; the long answer is that, as the consultant, you should plan to provide the
Village with ample data (property corners, topographic contours, etc.) that you as a
consultant can use to properly design the work and give the Village enough informaƟon
to make reasoned decisions on what design opƟons are best for the Village.
2. Shall survey team capture property corners within the project limits, check the invert
elevaƟons of each driveway culvert and two to three ditch shots between driveway
culverts (that will include boƩom of ditch, fore slope and backslope), locate the water
curb boxes? See above. While the original intent with my first message was to just
replace the water main and the road and not worry about the ditching, the realizaƟon is
that the number of water main breaks we’ve experienced on the west side of the road
has likely impacted the drainage. As a result, it is a good idea to capture this informaƟon
across the enƟre road (see my notes below as well). In parƟcular, if we incorporate GI
along the west ditch and/or the boulevard area, having this data will be important to
prepare the appropriate design.
3. What type of analysis does the Village expect for sizing of the storm sewer or shall
they be replaced in kind (if necessary)? Again, a bit of a qualified response but you
should plan accordingly – if we are incorporaƟng GI, then one typically designs for a 100-
year storm and you will have to address the storm sewer pipes and drainage. So, to
push back on the consultant (if you will), where do you think the Village will get more
bang for its buck in incorporaƟng GI and what will be done along the other areas? In
essence, plan to perform an analysis and, if an area will not need it, then those dollars
just won’t be spent.
4. Assuming that there are some lead water services, shall consultant prepare required
applicaƟon/documents for DNR for further reimbursement? We have not submiƩed a
request to the DNR for lead service lateral cost share funding (in part because it is our
167
understanding that there are socio-economic factors associated with this) so the answer
to this quesƟon is no. However, for the unknown service laterals, the consultant should
anƟcipate designing replacement of the enƟre lateral into the house (including all the
fiƫngs).
5. Is the Village planning to install surge suppressors on the water main within the
project limits? We have in the past and will rely on the consultant’s recommendaƟon.
6. For the pavement analysis, will the Village be requiring the consultant to perform
traffic counts or will the Village be performing them for the consultant to use during
the design? The answer is neither. WisDOT provides a Traffic Count map (TCMap) that
idenƟfies the traffic along various Village streets, including Santa Monica and the traffic
count between Bradley and Calumet is 1,700 vehicles per day as of July 2023. I believe
this is fairly representaƟve of the traffic we see along Santa Monica. I had noted
increasing the pavement thickness to 5-inches to accommodate the traffic loads (though
not significant) but to plan for the future and hopefully get more longevity out of the
road.
7. Please confirm the enƟre Santa Monica roadway pavement will be replaced on both
sides of the boulevard regardless of the water main locaƟon. That is
correct. Originally, I thought we would only replace the southbound lanes but,
considering we are possibly incorporaƟng GI in the boulevard and that I don’t want to
come back to the board in 5-8 years and ask to do the northbound lanes (the quesƟon
will be – why didn’t we do both in 2027), we decided internally to include both the
northbound and southbound lanes. This means looking at the topo across the enƟre
road.
8. What informaƟon does the Village have on the exisƟng roadway base course for
thickness? The asphalt is 4-inches thick but we do not have any documentaƟon on the
thickness of the subbase. It was pulverized the last Ɵme the road was repaved. I
suspect that the borings you conduct will confirm the subbase thickness.
9. Does the Village have standard Front End documents, Division 01 and Village Technical
SpecificaƟons for the project manual? If so, will the Village provide these documents
for the consultant to use? We do have standard front end documents we can
share. The Division 01 and technical specificaƟons seem to be specific to the project and
I suspect each consultant has their own general requirements for these provisions.
10. Will consultant manage bidding process or will Village post bidding documents to
plaƞorms and manage? Consultant should plan to manage this part of the work as well.
168
11. Other notes:
a. Please plan to coordinate all acƟviƟes with other uƟliƟes. I know that
telecommunicaƟons lines exist on the west side of the road, amongst other
things.
b. Grant opportuniƟes:
i. Last week I received an email from the DNR noƟng that the Urban
Nonpoint Source and Storm Water ConstrucƟon Grant ApplicaƟon
process is now open. Consultant should recommend whether our GI
would be a potenƟally eligible project for DNR funding and, if so, plan to
submit a grant applicaƟon on behalf of the Village.
ii. I also received an email from the DOT (yesterday) regarding a grant
opportunity for Local Small Structures Improvement Program (LSSIP). Fox
Point undertook a small structures inventory in 2024 and idenƟfied the
area at Fairchild and Santa Monica as being a small structure (see screen
shot below). Consultant should consider submiƫng a grant applicaƟon to
the DOT for the replacement of these structures as part of the project.
c. Borings. Consultant should plan an appropriate number of borings for the
project and staff will rely on their recommendaƟons for the number of borings.

This is ATTACHMENT B, consisting of 3 page(s), made part
of the Agreement between Client and Consultant for
Professional Services dated April 12, 2024.
This document will modify the following agreement between Ruekert & Mielke, Inc (R/M) and Village of Fox
Point as defined above:
Amendment To Agreement
1. Background Data:
Effective Date of Agreement: April 12, 2024
Client: Village of Fox Point
Consultant: Ruekert & Mielke, Inc.
Specific Project: FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Services Agreement
2. Description of Modifications
3. Based on the scope as defined in the original agreement dated April 12, 2024 and Attachment A of the
amendment to agreement, the following describes the remaining scope. All other work as a part of the
agreement referenced above is assumed to be complete.
A. As part of the LOMR requirements, R/M will perform the following:
(1) Update the current MT-2 forms based on the hydraulic as-built modeling.
(2) Develop a revised Certified Topographic Work Map for the Village based on the as-built hydraulic
modeling of Indian Creek.
(3) Develop revised Annotated Firm Mapping based on the as-built hydraulic modeling of Indian Creek.
(4) This work includes the required submittals to WDNR and FEMA.
B. Based on the conclusions of the hydrologic modeling, if applicable, Consultant shall evaluate
alternatives for additional Village storage. Up to ten locations shall be modeled in the hydrologic and
hydraulic model to assess feasibility. Consultant shall provide cost estimates and an analysis of the
number of homes removed from the floodplain for each alternative with exhibits showing revised
floodplain with the top 3 options.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
(1) Consultant shall perform the following Additional Services:
• Utilize rainfall data from August 2025 storm event. Data shall be provided by SEWRPC (or
equivalent entity).
• To supplement design data already received and other data used to model Village Green
Infrastructure areas, MMSD and County Storage area, R/M requests as -built data for these
projects to accurately generate the current regulatory floodplain map.
• Update the existing hydrologic model using known flood elevations and the August storm event
to generate a hydrograph. The model will incorporate additional parameters such as runoff
curve number, existing conditions of rural cross sections versus urban, and time of
concentration to create a more representative system.
o Only data from Village will be used.
o No discussion with WDNR or adjacent municipalities proposed until after work is complete.
172
• Calibrate the hydrologic and hydraulic model for the August storm event to known water surface
elevations and rerun the regulatory 100-year hydrologic precipitation.
• The model created from the above steps may not be acceptable to WDNR and FEMA but will
be utilized for further discussions with regulatory staff and to aid the Village with their request to
incorporate the most accurate model. The final LOMR that is submitted shall meet WDNR and
FEMA standards.
• Complete a comprehensive hydrologic and hydraulic report.
• LOMR application fees will be paid for by Village.
• The model likely cannot be truncated and therefore the Village will need to coordinate with the
Village of Bayside if their floodplain area is impacted by the modeling performed in Fox Point.
Effort for R/M to assist with this is currently not included in the scope.
• R/M to have two staff members attend community strategy meetings. It is assumed that ten
meetings will be held that last two hours each.
• R/M to have two staff members attend WDNR regulatory meetings upon submission of
hydrologic and hydraulic data. It is assumed that six meetings will be held that last three hours
each.
CLIENT RESPONSIBILITY
It is R/M’s understanding that the Village will be leading any legal actions with the W DNR. R/M will
contribute by supplying modeling results to aid in floodplain discussions , but is not positioned to
participate in legal disputes.
COMPENSATION
For the Additional Services or the modifications to services set forth above, Client shall pay Consultant
the following additional or modified compensation:
Current Contract Amount: $63,700 (T&M not to exceed)
Additional Scope: $ 46,700 (T&M not to exceed)
Total Revised Contract: $110,400 (T&M not to exceed)
SCHEDULE
The schedule for rendering services under this Agreement is modified as follows:
Complete hydrologic and hydraulic modeling: May 1, 2026
Alternatives Analysis (if applicable): July 1, 2026

DNR & 100-YEAR FLOODPLAINS:
CHALLENGES, EXPECTATIONS AND
REALITIES RELATIVE TO
OBSERVED FLOODING
January 22, 2026
179
Brief History of Updated FIRMs
■ 2017 – presented with initial maps but no data
■ Sept
ember 3, 2019 – Let ter from FEMA: the data in the maps “provide the best
available calculation of where water will collect and flow in the event of a flood,
based on current conditions.” Provided 30 days to respond.
■ October 2, 2019 – R/M le tter on behalf of Village to FEMA regarding the mapping –
many questions regarding the significant increase in footprint.
■ October 10, 2019 – DNR response – depict an additional 0.3 square miles draining
to a downstream location
■ 2021-2022 – MMSD hires HNTB and is also evaluating the preliminary 100-year
floodplain maps. Notes:
– Flows increase by over 50% in the new model
– Storage basins along Indian Creek not included in analysis (does not result in a
grea
ter than 10% decrease in peak flow rate)
180
Brief History of Updated FIRMs
■ June 30, 2022 – let ter received providing Fox Point 30 days to provide non-technical
comments to the preliminary maps
■ July 2022 – fig ure prepared identifying impacted parcels – an additional approximate
150 property owners impacted by revised footprint
■ 2022-2023 – wo rked on evaluating the data from DNR – submitted information to DNR
July 2023
■ August 1, 2023 – beg an 60-day community consultation period and 90-day appeal
period. Questions submitted to R/M regarding the model submitted on our behalf.
■ October 2023 – DNR notes our model results in an increase in the base flood elevation
(their increase over the previous model is about 3 feet)
■ Late October 2023 – Fox Point withdraws its appeal:
– Figure out why storage basins not included
– Determine if upstream storage can be used
– Account for changes being made by DOT to Indian Creek crossing
181
Deeper Dive into 100-year Floodplain
Maps
■ Flows increase over 50% between 2003 model and 2017 model
– No increase in drainage area (3.5 versus 3.45 square miles)
– Little to no increase in impervious area
– A
t one location (Seneca), the flows increased from 675 cfs to 1,490 cfs
■ Storage basins constructed in 2005-200 7 not included in modeling
– DNR previously indicated it did not impact flows by greater than 10%
– DNR notes that they are of the opinion the basin west of Port Washington Road back feeds to
the
east rather than flows to the west
■ Areas in River Hills are shown to drain to the east to Indian Creek rather than to the west
■ Upstream storage (green infrastructure) not allowed to be used in the model
■ Code indicates that upstream storage must be part of a flood storage district and relies on legal
opi
nion from DNR attorney
182
August 9-10, 2025 Storm Background
■ Estimate 12-inch es of rain fell in a 12-hour period
■ Received almost 2-1/2 inches of rain from 2 am to 3:30 am
■ Intersections and roads flooded and under water
■ Flooding not to the extent shown on recently adopted 100-year floodplain maps
■ Confirms suspicions about model input and output data
183
Intersections and Roads Under Water
■ Indian Creek from Nokomis south to three houses east of Port Washington
■ Dean Road from just west of Whitney to Indian Creek (about 3-4 fe et)
■ Indian Creek and Seneca (a few feet)
■ Indian Creek and Point
■ Indian Creek and Manor
■ Club Circle and Lilac Lane
■ Santa Monica Boulevard from Fox Dale toward Green Tree
■ Santa Monica Boulevard from Community Place to Bell
■ Beach Drive from the 7500 block south to the 7300 block
■ Mohawk and Bradley
■ Indian Creek Court

Reality
■ August 9-10, 2025 Flood Event
■ Co
nsidered by MMSD to be a 0.1% probability storm or greater (or as others refer to
it,
a 1,000-year storm)
■ Observations of staff and residents document that the flood waters never
appr
oached the levels shown in the DNR models
■ Impacts, while large, were significantly less than shown in the DNR models (nearly
3.5
foot difference between defined floodplain and actual flooding elevation)
193
Observed
flooding
Lateral extent of flooding along Indian
Creek observed by staff and reported by
residents between approximately 1:00 am
and 5:00 am on August 10, 2025. The
approximate maximum elevation of the
water was 660.
194
Observed flooding
relative to 2013
flood hazard maps
Lateral extent of observed flooding on
August 10, 2025 compared to the
previous 100-year floodplain maps. The
overlap is very close.
195
Observed flooding
relative to 2024
flood hazard maps
Lateral extent of observed flooding on
August 10, 2025 compared to the current
100-year floodplain maps. The lateral
extent of the current 100-year floodplain
maps was never seen and appears to
indicate a modeling issue (e.g., increased
flows) that do not actual exist.
196
DNR Position on Storage
■ Wis. Stats. Section 87.30(1r) –“Th is section does not authorize a county to impose
a requirement, condition, or restriction on land that is not within any floodplain in
the county.”
■ NR 116.03(21) – “’fl ood storage’ means those floodplain areas where storage of
flood waters has been taken into account in reducing the regional flood discharge.”
– Neither “floodplain district” nor “floodplain storage district” is defined
■ As interpreted by legal from DNR:
– No inline storage permitted unless a floodplain storage district is created – but
only for those areas within the floodplain
– No upstream storage permitted as these areas are outside the floodplain

203
Impacts
■ Both Fox Point and Bayside impacted by revised 100-year floodplain maps
– Fox Point – an ad ditional approximate 150 parcels in the floodplain
– Bayside – appr oximately 50 parcels in the floodplain
– Requires flood insurance
■ Mequon – raised similar concerns
■ Ru
le of 50:
– Any improvements or damage to the structure in the floodplain that exceeds
50%
of the FMV of the property requires the property to be floodproofed
– Habitable structures are prohibited
– Detailed engineering analysis required before permits in the flood fringe can
be co
nsidered
204
Other Considerations
■ GI storage means nothing in the modeling world
■ MMSD and local communities have spent millions (tens of millions?) of dollars on GI
and
flood abatement projects
205
Requests
■ Release the legal opinion from the DNR attorney regarding upstream storage and
sto
rage in areas not contained within a flood storage district
■ Modify the code to allow upstream storage – eve n if not within a flood storage
district
■ Require more transparency in the process:
– Identify how the model was set up
– Explain how increases in flows were determined
– Provide a FAQ for communities to follow step-by-ste p processes for appeals,
etc. including timelines and other pertinent information
■ Provide more time than 90 days to file an appeal
– DNR worked on the maps for years
– Communities are provided 90-day s to review all the data and submit the
appeal

Questions?
207
To: Village Board of Trustees
From: Mitch Reynolds, Interim Village Manager
Date: March 4, 2026
Re: Employee benefit change
The Village of Fox Point provides excellent salary, benefits, and working environment for its staff.
However, as a small employer, the Village does not provide benefits under the state or federal
Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). While there have been no significant issues related to the
lack of this benefit, staff identified that an opportunity to expand parental leave benefits to all full
time non-represented employees that may have been traditionally offered through FMLA in an
effort to recruit new employees and retain current employees.
Historically, new paternal parents, or expecting parents, were required to take time off utilizing
accumulated benefit time (vacation, compensatory time, holidays, personal time). The pregnant
mother would typically utilize accumulated sick time for the leave related to the medical absence.
The working group tasked with updating the employee handbook identified the need for a parental
leave benefit and drafted language that provided a basic benefit to employees. The draft language
provided for a paid leave that allowed a new paternal parent to assist their spouse and the maternal
spouse to recover from their recent childbirth. This language was subsequently removed from the
draft handbook prior to issuance in October of 2025 as the benefit had not been reviewed and
approved by the Board of Trustees.
Proposal / Request
Staff are requesting the Village Board of Trustees to review the parental leave language included
in this staff report and adopt the language for inclusion in the employee handbook. As a matter of
information, the proposed language has been reviewed by le gal staff at Stafford Rosenbaum for
inclusion in the employee handbook when the document was in the draft stage.
The proposed language included below is not intended to replace the benefits provided in state or
federal FMLA programs, rather provide a basic benefit and support to our employees who are
developing their new families.
208
Parental Leave Language (Handbook section 5.5):
The purpose of this benefit is to grant time away from work with pay for the birth of the employee’s
child or the placement of a child with the employee for adoption, but not both.
All regular full-time non-represented employees of the Village who have been employed as for at
least twelve (12) consecutive months are eligible to the leave provided for in this section for either
a birth or adoption instance once per calendar year. The employee must be identifi ed on the
child(ren)’s birth certificate, adoption certificate, certified copy of a foreign adoption order that
has been registered with the State of Wisconsin, or other legal document certifying an adoption.
Sperm donors or individuals serving as a surrogate are excluded and do not qualifying under this
section.
Length of Paid Benefit
• Parental Leave: An eligible employee who either gives birth or is a non -carrying parent is
entitled to eighty (80) hours of paid parental leave after the birth of the child(ren) to be
taken within the first eight (8) weeks following the birth of the child(ren).
• Adoption Leave : An eligible employee who becomes an adoptive parent is entitled to
eighty (80) hours of paid adoption leave to be taken within the first eight (8) weeks
following adoption or placement of the child(ren). This leave may be split between post -
adoption and post-placement.
