Additionally, PTS Contractors is increasing the width of the intersection north of CTH H and CTH E. The Village is actively coordinating with the Canadian Pacific Railroad to schedule their flaggers to bore beneath the tracks. • The May Plan Commission meeting was canceled as applicants withdrew their item from the agenda. • Invenergy: met with their team to discuss the annexation process, water diversion requirements, and the PSC application process. The Village submitted a draft development agreement that is under their review. We plan to reconvene in June. • Truck Country: also met with their team to discuss the annexation process, and water diversion requirements. Baxter & Woodman is working with them to prepare the diversion application. The annexation petition is expected to be received shortly, and will require action by the Village Board. • Eagle Chateau: following approval by the Village Board, Village staff submitted a draft development agreement. The main purpose is to ensure stormwater requirements are completed and continued maintenance. Staff will confirm that the developer has contacted the DNR to determine if a permit is required. 3 • Maplecrest: Following approval of the development agreement by the Board, the developer is working with Kenosha County Planning & Development on the next steps in the review and approval process. Pending authorization, the Developer plans to construct a model home to market to prospective buyers. • On May 20, staff held a Public Information Meeting to answer residents’ questions ahead of the approved repaving of the ValleyView subdivision. The work is planned to start this month. Administration • Village Administration has reviewed multiple options for the replacement of the Village/Town’s website. The plan is to select Catalis. One of their customers is the City of Beloit. The vendor’s website solution is both affordable and offers a user-friendly, easy-to-use platform. The Village is working with a third-party vendor to assist with the website design, and to create a video to promote the Village. • The Village is planning to launch a Facebook page. The intent will be to provide critical updates to the public, such as emergency notices (snowstorms, street closures, etc.), upcoming public works projects, and information about and Village services. Staff is reviewing the Village’s Social Media Policy and plans to recommend amendments at an upcoming work session meeting. • The Village is working with Kenosha County IT to setup an account with KnowBe4, which provides regular training and test phishing emails. Phishing emails are becoming increasing sophisticated, and create a significant vulnerability to the Village’s cybersecurity. The cost is $11.28/user/year, and would cover all Village email addresses. The total cost is approximately $600 per year to the Village. • The Village received an insurance dividend from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities in the amount of $17,689. This was due to lower than anticipated claims amongst 4 membership municipalities. • As required by the Public Services Commission, the Village is working with Ehlers to submit an application for a rate case. Under consideration is a PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) and a fire protection fee. The items will be discussed with the Village Board at an upcoming special financial management plan (FMP) workshop, and would require approval before enacting any new fees. • On May 16, Village President Stoner held an open house for residents at the Somers Village Hall. • On May 19, Kenosha County Information Technology was on site to conduct an inventory of the computers used by Village staff. • Staff is reviewing funding options for the replacement and upgrade of the Pike Creek lift station. The project is TID eligible, but will require approval from the Joint Review Board. This item will also be discussed with the Board at the FMP workshop. • The Village met with the Town of Paris to discuss a formula for the revenue sharing agreement. The formula will be based on services provided within the Somers Growth Area, and require approval from the Intergovernmental Commission. • Met with Kenosha County IT to discuss upcoming projects. The contract is set to expire later this year. Additionally, Kenosha County IT will submit proposed updates to the Village’s Capital Improvement Plan. • Met with the new Village Prosecutor Christopher Schultz to discuss priorities, procedures, and coordination with Village staff. • Met with Schwab to discuss an expiring maturity and reinvest Village funds. • Met with a contractor to discuss security enhancements in the foyer / front counter of the Fire Station. The contractor will submit an estimate that will be presented to the Village Board. • On May 20, the Village sent out a new e-newsletter to just over 100 subscribers. You can find the current and past newsletters, as well as sign up for the e-newsletter here: https://www.somerswi.gov/newsletters/ • On May 21, Village President Stoner & Kevin Poirier toured the IEA plant located in Kenosha. The facility is in the process of moving to its new location at the corner of Highway E and the Interstate. 5 • On May 23, the Village President spoke at the Memorial Day ceremony at the Pritzker Military Museum & Library. The Somers Fire & Rescue Department participated in the Memorial Day service at Sunset Ridge Memorial Park’s cemetery. • On May 31, Somers held its annual Community Day celebration. This year, it was held in the Sam’s Club parking lot. 6 VILLAGE OF SOMERS Engineer’s Report May 26, 2026 Pa ge 1 of 2 S omers Creek (Formerly Willow Creek) – Project No. 2401633  T he developer is Bear Development LLC; the design engineer is Pinnacle Engineering.

After reviewing televising video of all areas, only Country Charms sanitary sewer needs lining. UPDATE: Staff reached out to Baxter & Woodman to revise their engineering estimate to match the new scope of work needed to be done since it was decreased from the original estimate. The engineering costs have decreased from $84,000 by $27,800 to a total of $56,200. This correlates with the new scope of work since most of the lining was to be done in the Country Charms area, which is about 70 percent of the project area. COMMENTS: Staff has reviewed the revised engineering costs and recommends approval of the $56,200 amount.

Staff understands the Village Board’s interest in helping alleviate installation costs for homeowners; however, staff believes that involvement in selecting a contractor to perform the work would not be in the best interest of the utility for the following reasons: Ownership and Responsibility Boundaries Under most U.S. utility frameworks, a public water system’s responsibility typically ends at the curb stop valve or water meter. This is true for the Village of Somers. The piping extending from that point to the building — commonly referred to as the service lateral — is generally considered private property owned by the homeowner. As a result, the utility is not ordinarily responsible for installing, maintaining, or repairing that portion of the service line. The Village of Somers is only responsible for maintaining the public portion of the utility. When a utility becomes involved in private lateral installation, it risks assuming liability and financial responsibility for infrastructure that legally belongs to the property owner. Maintaining a clear separation between public and private infrastructure helps avoid disputes regarding future repairs, maintenance obligations, and associated costs. Legal and Regulatory Considerations Public water systems operate under state regulations, municipal ordinances, and utility service agreements that define the scope of their authority and responsibilities. Participation in private- 11 side installations may expose the utility to legal or regulatory challenges if the work is viewed as exceeding its authorized role. It may also increase the risk of disputes concerning workmanship, project scope, or cost allocation. Additionally, if the Village were to proceed, then there is uncertainty about the responsibilities of homeowners. For example, if the Village were able to determine accurate quantities from interested homeowners and then award the bid, what happens if a homeowner backs out? This would alter the quantities and potentially result in the awarded contractor declining to do the work unless homeowners agree to pay a higher rate. Recommended Practice The standard and widely accepted practice is for the homeowner to retain a licensed contractor to install the private service lateral from the designated connection point to the building. The utility’s role should generally be limited to the public water main, meter setting, curb stop, and final connection or inspection as required by local policy. This approach preserves a clear division of responsibility between the public utility and private property owner, while ensuring that utility resources remain focused on operating and maintaining the public water system. Comments: Again, staff understands the Village Board’s interest in helping alleviate installation costs for homeowners but believe the Village should avoid direct involvement in private water service lateral installation in order to maintain clear legal boundaries, protect public resources, and preserve accountability. The homeowner remains responsible for the private service lateral, while the utility’s responsibilities should remain confined to public infrastructure and approved connection points. This distinction helps reduce legal exposure, prevent cost disputes, and support efficient utility operations. If the Village Board agrees, the Village could send a letter to homeowners to gauge their interest, and then create a list of properties that could be forwarded to the Village’s pre-approved contractors. If a contractor is interested in the work, then they can contact the homeowner directly. 12 RESOLUTION NO. 2026- XXX RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION OF PLACING APPROXIMATELY 59.19 ACRES OF LAND INTO FEDERAL TRUST FOR THE MENOMINEE INDIAN TRIBE OF WISCONSIN FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONDUCTING CLASS Ill AND II GAMING WHEREAS, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin intends to apply to the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs to have approximately 59.19 acres of land located within one-half mile from the corporate boundaries of the Town of Somers, and close proximity to the Village of Somers, placed into Trust for the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin for the purpose of conducting Class III and Class II gaming; and, WHEREAS, the Tribe, through its authority, may only conduct gaming at the facility near Somers if it is placed into Federal Trust through application and approval by the Federal Bureau of Indian Affairs; and WHEREAS, as part of the application process, the impact of the establishment of such a gaming operation on the surrounding community must be addressed along with the efforts to address such impacts; and, WHEREAS, The Village & Town of Somers has identified negative environmental, social, economic and other impacts to the community such as increased runoff to nearby private properties, the Kilbourn ditch, and Des Plaines River watershed, increased number of public safety calls involving the Village of Somers Fire & Rescue, increased traffic on our roadways, harm to the economic redevelopment efforts along the Interstate, the strain on funding for Village & Town services, and the net social costs to our community; and, WHEREAS, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin has not offered the Village & Town of Somers an agreement or plan to remediate the negative impacts the proposed gaming facility will bring to the community, as is required before placing such land into Federal Trust by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Village & Town Board of Trustees for Somers that it asks the Bureau of Indian Affairs to reject the application made by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin to place land near the Village & Town of Somers in Kenosha County into Federal Trust for the purposes of Class III and Class Il gaming unless an Intergovernmental Revenue Sharing Agreement can be reached remediating the negative environmental, social, and economic impacts to Somers; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Village/Town Administrator is directed to send a copy of this Resolution to the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Menominee Tribe and Authority, the Governor of the State of Wisconsin, the Kenosha County Executive, and City of Kenosha Mayor. 13 Passed and adopted this 9th day of June, 2026. _____________________________ _______________________________ George Stoner Mark A. Molinaro Jr. Village President Town Chairman Village of Somers Town of Somers ATTEST: ______________________________ Wendy Burnette Clerk/Treasurer Village & Town of Somers 14 DATE HERE Thomas Wilkins Realty Specialist United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs Minneapolis Regional Office Norman Pointe II 5600 West American Boulevard, Suite 500 Bloomington, MN 55437 Re: Comments and Objection to Section 151 Request to Acquire Land in Trust for Gaming for the Proposed Menominee Indian Tribe Hard Rock Casino Project proposed to be located in Kenosha, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Wilkins, On behalf of the Village & Town of Somers ( “Somers”), we submit these comments in response to the Bureau of Indian Affairs notice regarding the request of the Menominee Indian Tribe to acquire the subject property in trust for gaming purposes. According to the U.S. Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs (“BIA”) letter, Case Number 50694, the subject property (the “Property”), consists of four (4) parcels (Tax Parcel Numbers: 03-121-01-101-101, 03-121-01-101-102, 03-121- 01-101-422 and 03-121- 01-101-0423), of approximately 59 acres in total land area, and is generally located in the southwest quadrant of I-94 and County Trunk Highway K in the City of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Background Somers respectfully objects to the proposed acquisition of the Property for the development of the Menominee Indian Tribe Hard Rock Casino Project (the “Project”) and requests that the BIA fully consider the substantial adverse impacts to Somers that are reasonably foreseeable from the Project. Somers is adjacent to the City of Kenosha and the Project site is in close proximity to the municipal boundary of the Village & Town. Particularly, the site is directly across from the Town of Somers at 120th Avenue (E Frontage Road) and 60th Avenue, which includes Ukes Harley Davidson, a popular destination with a 3,000-square-foot museum of vintage bikes, a 70-foot display tower, and a 60,000-square-foot facility. Somers will experience the following negative environmental, social and economic impacts: 15 • The stormwater study should consider impacts of increased runoff on the Pleasant Prairie Mobile Home Park (11703 60TH ST), which is in the Town of Somers. Somers is concerned that existing flooding issues will be exacerbated by the development. • Increased traffic on Somers roadways and to the overall (and regional) transportation systems. Given there is no gas station near the Highway 158 exit in Kenosha, the closest options north of the proposed site for gas and convenience stores along the I-94 corridor will be at Hwy S/142 and Hwy E in Somers. • Increased use of Somers roadways will result in greater calls for public safety services, and strain funding for roadway maintenance. • Overall negative effect on social and socio-economic costs to the overall community. At the same time, Somers is not a party to the intergovernmental agreements that were described three (3) years ago in 2023 for the City of Kenosha and the County of Kenosha and Somers is not positioned to receive revenue sharing or other direct offsets to cover the increased costs and risks that would be imposed on our community. If this project moves forward, then we urge the revenue sharing agreement to be expanded to include the Village & Town of Somers. Information Requested by the BIA To the extent the BIA requests specific fiscal and service information, the Village provides the following. • Annual property taxes currently levied on the subject property allocated to Somers. The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. Somers levies no taxes on the Property. • Special assessments currently assessed against the property in support of Somers. The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. Somers has no special assessments assessed against the Property. • Governmental services currently provided to the property by Somers: The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha. However, Somers has a Mutual aid agreement with the City of Kenosha, including the MABAS agreement, that could require Somers Fire/EMS Services to the Casino. • Zoning consistency: The Property is located in the jurisdiction of the City of Kenosha; therefore, the City provides the zoning services, designations and regulations for the Property. However, Somers respectfully requests that the BIA evaluate whether the intended casino use is consistent with surrounding land uses and applicable zoning and land use standards, including compatibility with nearby 16 residential areas and established community destinations. Fiscal Impacts and Unfunded Local Costs The Village requests that the BIA evaluate the full fiscal impact on Somers, including the shift of costs to Village taxpayers without a corresponding revenue source. A major 24-hour gaming and entertainment complex is reasonably expected to increase demand for public safety and emergency response. Somers supports regional response through mutual aid and interjurisdictional frameworks. The BIA should evaluate how increased service demand and associated costs will be mitigated for neighboring communities that are not receiving direct revenue sharing. Transportation and Traffic Impacts to Pleasant Prairie The Village requests that the BIA evaluate traffic impacts on the regional transportation network, not solely the immediate, local site access roads, including but not limited to: • I 94 (Exit 337), County Trunk Highway KR / 195 • I 94 (Exit 339), County Trunk Highway E • I 94 (Exit 340), County Trunk Highway S / 142 Stormwater, Retention, and Watershed Concerns Somers has serious concerns regarding stormwater retention and detention planning and the potential for increased flooding and erosion impacts. The Project location is under the stormwater management regulations for the Des Plaines River Watershed, which are more stringent and more intensive than other Village/City of Kenosha watershed management regulations. The stormwater management for the Project will need to be designed in accordance with the most recent regulations. Somers requests that the BIA require a clear demonstration that stormwater design will meet applicable standards and watershed criteria intended to protect already stressed water resources and to prevent adverse downstream impacts. Land Use Compatibility and Community Character The proposed casino and associated facilities would introduce intensive 24-hour use adjacent to established residential areas and existing community destinations. The Village is concerned that the scale, intensity, and operational characteristics of the Project are 17 incompatible with the character and land use patterns of the surrounding area and will create adverse, negative impacts that extend beyond the host jurisdiction. Request for Full Consideration and Mitigation For the reasons above, Somers request the following: Somers respectfully request that the BIA deny the fee to trust acquisition for gaming purposes or, at minimum, require comprehensive analysis and enforceable mitigation addressing: • Regional traffic impacts at I 94 Exits 337, 339, 340 and connecting corridors. • Public safety and emergency response demand and funding. • Stormwater retention, detention, and downstream watershed impacts. • Fiscal impacts to Somers, including loss of tax base and increased service costs. Village & Town of Somers taxpayers cannot be held fiscally responsible for the additional public service requirements necessary to support public safety and safe travel through Somers. Hence, the Village & Town of Somers should be included in the revenue sharing agreement to offsets the costs of services. Please include this letter in the administrative record for Section 151 “Request to Move Land into Trust for Gaming” .

BACKGROUND: To be eligible to bid on a Village infrastructure project, the Contractor must be pre- approved by the Village. The evaluation consists of professional qualifications, and performance of past projects. The review is conducted by staff and the Village Engineering consultant, Baxter & Woodman. Chapter 22.06 of the Village Ordinances currently reads as follows: § 22.06 QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENT. No person shall be permitted to obtain bid proposal forms or related plans or specifications from the Village for the purpose of submitting a bid for work on any public improvement project, or to submit a bid for work on any public improvement project without first qualifying for such activities pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter. Subject to § 22.07 below, it shall be unlawful to, and no person shall, act as a contractor or subcontractor on any public improvement project within the Village unless such person is duly qualified pursuant to this chapter. UPDATE: Currently, a Contractor must be pre-qualified before they can obtain bid documents for a project. The Village Engineer suggests that it would be more efficient to amend the process and allow prospective contractors to obtain bidding documents in advance of approval by the Village. Contractors must still be approved by the Village prior to the bid 21 opening, or their bid will be disqualified. Staff suggest changing the Ordinance as follows: No person shall be permitted to submit a bid for work on any public improvement project without first qualifying for such activities pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter. Subject to § 22.07 below, it shall be unlawful to, and no person shall, act as a contractor on any public improvement project within the Village unless such person is duly qualified pursuant to this chapter. COMMENTS: If the Village Board would like to consider this proposed amendment, then the proposed language will be submitted to the Village’s legal counsel for review, and considered for action at an upcoming Board meeting. ATTACHMENTS: None 22 VILLAGE OF SOMERS VILLAGE BOARD WORK SESSION MEMORANDUM WORK SESSION: June 2, 2026 TO: Village President Stoner and Village Trustees PREPARED BY: Jim Hurley, Administrator AGENDA ITEM: #10 Village Board Pilot Meeting Schedule: June – August 2026 BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the May 19th Work Session for discussion. There was discussion about ensuring the public has adequate opportunity to make public comments, but the item was moved forward to the May 26th Board meeting. Staff provided a memo with options for consideration by the Board. One, the Village could open public comments to one or both monthly work sessions. Second, if an item urgently requires action, then the Board could schedule a special meeting. The Village Board motioned to table the item. UPDATES: As part of the Pilot Meeting Schedule, I continue to recommend that the Board allow for public comments at either one or both work sessions per month. Allowing comments one to two weeks in advance of Regular Board meetings could be beneficial to staff. Public comments and suggestions could be considered and incorporated into proposals prior to Regular Board meetings. Generally, limiting public comments to Regular Board meetings only allows the Board to either take action without time in advance to consider public comments, or table items for future meetings.
