The Schneider's DRAFT Page 8 of 235 BUSINESS OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE & VILLAGE BOARD GERMANTOWN, WI MEETING DATE: Wednesday, August 5 th, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: New Business ITEM TITLE: Street & Facility Tree Pruning Project. SUBMITTED BY: Scott Anderson: Highway, Parks, Building & Grounds Superintendent SUMMARY EXPLANATION: In accordance with the village’s comprehensive tree plan, staff solicited pricing from six area contractors to prune street, and facility trees as identified within the plan as year-2. The project will prune nearly 300 trees in and around the Hawthorne Meadows and Cedar Hills subdivisions, along Mequon Road, Division Road and several municipal facilities. The project costs are reflected in the 2026 parks department street tree general fund budget. Routine pruning provides a number of important benefits, including: disease prevention, allows shaping and thinning, which offer necessary clearances along roadways and reduces potential liability by removing unhealthy limbs and deadwood. Project specifications were developed by Wachtel Tree Science in accordance with ANSI A300, which is an industry standard, and recognized within the comprehensive tree plan. Should the project be approved, staff will communicate the necessary information to residents in the formats outlined within the comprehensive tree plan. Staff received pricing from three qualified area tree contractors to perform the work, and the results are listed below for review.

Sajdak, Village Attorney Published: Page 21 of 235 1 | P a g e Recycling Rule Revision: Changes for Responsible Units The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has revised the administrative code that oversees Responsible Units’ (RUs) effective recycling programs and other aspects of Wisconsin’s recycling law. The rule revisions took effect July 1, 2025. This document summarizes changes specifically for RUs, to help RUs understand and comply with the changes. Please refer to ch. NR 544, Wis. Adm. Code, for exact language. If you have questions about the changes, contact DNRRecycling@wisconsin.gov. RU Education Before the code revision, RUs were required to provide education to residents of single family and 2-to-4-unit residences, multi-family dwellings, and non-residential facilities and properties about recycling of materials specified in s. 287.07 (1m) to (4), Wis. Stats. This includes lead acid batteries; appliances; oil; yard waste; tires; cardboard and paper; and containers made of glass, steel/bi-metal, aluminum and plastics #1 and #2. The 2009 electronics recycling law also required RUs to provide education on electronics recycling. These requirements remain with clarifications and additions as follows: • RUs must review their educational materials for accuracy and distribute this information at least once a year. • Educational materials must now also include the landfill ban on oil filters and absorbents, proper disposal and opportunities for recycling batteries, reasons and ways to reduce food waste, and composting opportunities and locations. • RUs do NOT need to collect or create programs for recycling oil filters and absorbents or batteries, reducing food waste, or composting. • Distribution of education and outreach materials by RUs may include online posting, electronic and printed mailings, and use of social media. Public outreach materials are available for use at no cost from the DNR. Visit the DNR recycling education and outreach page for resources. Collection Requirements Before the code revision, RUs (or municipalities within a multi-member RU) with a population of 5,000 or greater were required to provide, contract for, or otherwise provide for curbside recycling at least monthly, or to provide a drop-off used by at least 80% of the single-family and 2-to-4-unit residences in the municipality as documented by drop-off site monitoring records. RUs (or municipalities within a multi-member RU) with a population under 5,000 were required to provide Page 22 of 235 2 | P a g e an adequately sized drop-off open at least 2 days/month for 5 hours/day (minimum total of 10 hours/month) or to provide a collection equivalent to the larger RUs/municipalities. The code revision made the following changes to these requirements: • If an RU provides only the minimum of monthly curbside collection, it must also provide access to a drop-off site for recyclables. Access could include a drop-off site in another municipality or at a private location. • Any municipality that opts to direct individual residents to contract directly with a waste hauler for collection of recyclables to meet the requirements outlined for a collection system must modify its recycling ordinance and compliance assurance plan to reflect this requirement and collect recycling tonnage data. • RUs are no longer required to meet a specified pounds per person collection standard. Recycling Ordinance Modifications Multi-Family Recycling Before the code revision, in an RU’s recycling ordinance, multi-family properties needed to provide “adequate, separate containers” for the recycling program established in compliance with the ordinance. No additional details were included to define “adequate,” which led to RU challenges with enforcing their ordinance and confusion at some multi-family properties. The code revisions made the following clarifications to this requirement: Providing adequate recycling services to multi-family properties must include an equal or greater ratio of recycling containers to trash containers and one of the following: • minimum total volume of recycling containers provided is 20 gallons per week per dwelling unit; • ratio of trash container volume to recycling container volume is at most 2:1; or • an alternative method which does not result in recyclable container overflow between collection. Non-Residential Recycling Before the code revision, in an RU’s recycling ordinance, non-residential properties needed to provide “adequate, separate containers” for the recycling program established in compliance with the ordinance. The DNR understood that non-residential properties vary significantly in recycling generation. For instance, the volume of recycling containers needed will be vastly different for a small shop, a 50-unit hotel or large manufacturing facility. Therefore, “adequate” could not be as specifically described as for multi-family residences. Page 23 of 235 3 | P a g e To clarify what “adequate, separate containers” means for non-residential properties, the code revisions require that the total volume of recycling containers be sufficient to avoid overflow during the time period between collection of materials and delivery to a recycling facility. Tenant Notification Requirements The code revisions reduced tenant notification requirements for multi-family and non-residential facilities. Notification will no longer need to include reasons to reduce and recycle waste or specific details (hours of operation, contact person, address and phone number) for locations that accept recyclable materials not collected on-site. All RUS will need to update their recycling ordinance to address these new requirements. The DNR will provide a new recycling ordinance template for RUs to use to update their recycling ordinance. Changes for Haulers and Materials Recovery Facilities That Affect RUs Haulers The code revision makes the following changes for haulers of recyclable materials: • Requires containers used for collection of recyclables to be clearly labeled. • Requires haulers to provide residential recycling tonnage data to RUs by Feb. 1 each year. Data must include the name of the materials recovery facility(ies) (MRFs) used to process the materials. • Requires haulers to notify RUs when a new MRF is used. Materials Recovery Facilities The code revision makes the following changes for MRFs that serve RUs: • Requires MRFs provide contracted RUs with information on accepted materials. • Requires MRFs to review educational material within 60 days of a request from a contracted RU. The above are only code revisions that directly affect RUs. Haulers and MRFs have a number of other new requirements and changes in the code revision. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources | July 2025 The information above is a summary of changes for RUs as a result of recycling rule revision and is not comprehensive. To view the complete rule changes, go to Wisconsin Legislature: CR 23-065 Rule Text Page 24 of 235 Summary of Recycling Rule Revisions (WA-13-21) (See Wisconsin Legislature: CR 23-065 Rule Text for full text) In November 2020, the Legislative Audit Bureau (LAB) conducted an audit of the state recycling program. One LAB recommendation was to “update provisions in administrative rules pertaining to effective recycling programs,” as the rules were last updated in 2005. As a result, the Department of Natural Resources has gone through the rulemaking process to revise administrative code governing statewide materials recycling and “effective recycling programs.” These rule revisions affect local governments designated as responsible units for recycling (RUs), materials recovery facilities (MRFs) that process residential recyclables, waste haulers, and waste storage and transfer facilities that handle recyclable materials. The code revisions reflect operational changes within the recycling industry and the DNR. They also seek to streamline requirements, reduce reporting obligations, and ensure a level playing field among facilities that provide processing and recycling services. The information below is a high-level summary of the revisions. Changes for local government responsible unit (RU) recycling programs • RU education: specifies educational materials be reviewed for accuracy and provided annually. Adds batteries and food waste/composting to the list of topics RUs must educate residents on (public outreach materials available for use at no cost from DNR). • Collection: additional documentation requirements added for RUs that meet recycling collection standards by having residents contract individually for recycling pick-up. Additional recycling drop-off location requirement for RUs that only offer monthly curbside collection to residents. • Multi-family complexes/apartments (5 or more units): provides specific options for how to provide “adequate” recycling. • Eliminates static pounds per person collection standard. Changes for materials recovery facilities (MRFs) • Starting in 2027, requires MRFs processing more than 5,000 tons/year to have owner financial responsibility (OFR) in place to cover facility closure and cleanup costs should the operator abandon or be unable to properly close a facility. OFR is already required for other solid waste processors. • Establishes a minimum glass recycling rate of 12% unless the facility can provide justification of lower rate or creates a glass recycling improvement plan. • Sets maximum residual rate of 20% (i.e., no more than 20% of the material a MRF receives may be sent for disposal) unless the facility can provide justification of a higher rate or establishes a residual rate improvement plan. • Reduces the amount of information MRFs need to provide on their annual report to the DNR. • Requires MRFs to provide the RUs and haulers they work with information about materials accepted and to review contracted RUs’ educational materials within 60 days of a request. If the MRF produces/provides its own educational material (not required), it must specify that the guidelines apply to its facility only (as recycling guidelines vary from facility to facility). • Specifies that material delivered directly from RUs must be inventoried as residential material on annual report. Page 25 of 235 • Requires MRFs to develop short-term (<48 hrs) and long-term (≥48 hrs) contingency plans for use in case of shutdown. • Requires MRFs to prevent litter from unbaled paper, plastic or other easily airborne materials. Changes for haulers, transfer and storage facilities • Haulers must provide RUs recycling tonnage and name(s) of MRF(s) used by Feb. 1 each year for the previous year (current requirement is supplying data within 4 weeks of a written request). • Haulers must notify RUs if using a new MRF. • Haulers must ensure containers used for recycling are clearly labeled. • Transfer and storage facilities must keep segregated recyclables separate from solid waste and maintain cleanliness of recyclable material. • Transfer and storage facilities must prevent litter from unbaled paper, plastic or other easily airborne material. The rule revision generally revises, clarifies and removes obsolete language from chs. NR 500, 502, 542 and 544, Wis. Adm. Code. It also codifies guidance and existing practices related to beneficial reuse of glass and for facilities requesting residual disposal fee exemptions at landfills. _____________________________________________________________________________________ For more information, please contact Jennifer Semrau, Waste Reduction and Diversion Coordinator, at Jennifer.Semrau@wisconsin.gov or 608-381-0960. Dated: July 14, 2025 Page 26 of 235 BUSINESS OF THE VILLAGE BOARD MEETING DATE: August 17, 2026 PLACEMENT: Presentation ITEM TITLE: Presentation of the 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and Audit Results Report by Baker Tilly (PRESENTATION) SUBMITTED BY: Lisa Davis, Finance Director SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The accounting firm Baker Tilly, has completed their audit of our 2025 financial statements and have concluded that they are “fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.” While the opinion comes without qualification, Baker Tilly has identified internal controls as an area where improvement is needed. 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. Baker Tilly identified the following deficiencies as material weaknesses: Inadequate Segregation of Duties - At this time, due to staffing and financial limitations, the proper internal controls are not in place to achieve adequate segregation of duties related to account reconciliations prepared throughout the year that should be performed by someone independent of processing transactions in the account and year-end reconciliations that should be reviewed and approved y someone other than the preparer. Financial Statement Close Process - Management has not prepared financial statements that are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles or the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that is in conformance with the applicable federal requirements. In addition, material misstatements in the general ledger were identified during the financial audit. Other Comments and Recommendations by Baker Tilly were around our decentralized cash collections. The recommendation is that management review its decentralized cash collection procedures and controls on a periodic basis and make changes as necessary to strengthen the internal control environment. We will continue to work with Baker Tilly to address these concerns. Baker Tilly will be in attendance to make their presentation and answer questions. ATTACHMENT: Page 27 of 235 1.

This letter presents communications required by our professional standards. Your audit should provide you with confidence in your financial statements. The audit was performed based on information obtained from meetings with management, data from your systems, knowledge of your Village’s operating environment and our risk assessment procedures. We strive to provide you clear, concise communication throughout the audit process and of the final results of our audit. Additionally, we have included information on key risk areas the Village of Germantown should be aware of in your strategic planning. We are available to discuss these risks as they relate to your organization’s financial stability and future planning. If you have questions at any point, please connect with us: • Amanda Blomberg, Managing Director: amanda.blomberg@bakertilly.com or +1 (608) 240 2386 • Leah Gaffney, Senior Manager: leah.gaffney@bakertilly.com or +1 (608) 240 2346 Sincerely, Baker Tilly US, LLP Amanda Blomberg, Managing Director Page 30 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 3 Responsibilities Our responsibilities 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. • Assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or 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 • Performing tests related to compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, as required by Government Auditing Standards. • 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 • Significant unusual transactions • Significant difficulties encountered • Disagreements with management • Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors’ report • Audit consultations outside the engagement team • Corrected and uncorrected misstatements • Other audit findings or issues Page 31 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 4 Audit status Significant changes to the audit plan There were no significant changes made to either our planned audit strategy or to the significant risks and other areas of emphasis identified during the performance of our risk assessment procedures. Page 32 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 5 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 • Areas of complexity including Tax Incremental Financing Districts and joint municipal/utility projects 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 auditors' 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 sufficient evidence for our audit opinion Improper revenue recognition due to fraud Confirmation or validation of certain revenues supplemented with detailed predictive analytics based on non-financial data and substantive testing of related receivables Procedures identified provided sufficient evidence for our audit opinion Segregation of duties Incorporate unpredictability into audit procedures, emphasize professional skepticism and utilize audit team with industry experience Procedures identified provided sufficient evidence for our audit opinion Page 33 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 6 Other areas of emphasis We also focused on other areas that did not meet the definition of a significant risk, but were determined to require specific awareness and a unique audit response. Other areas of emphasis Cash and investments Revenues and receivables General disbursements Payroll Pension liabilities Long-term debt Capital assets including infrastructure Net position and fund balance calculations Financial reporting and required disclosures 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 related to: • Account reconciliations prepared throughout the year should be performed by someone independent of processing transactions in the account. • Year-end reconciliations (retainages, payroll accruals) should be reviewed and approved by someone other than the preparer. 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. Page 34 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 7 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. • Complete and accurate schedule of expenditures of federal awards is 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 to be material weaknesses surrounding the preparation of financial statements and footnotes including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, 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 or the schedule of expenditures of federal awards that is in conformance with the applicable federal requirements. In addition, material misstatements in the general ledger were identified during the financial audit. The following material weaknesses, which were identified in the prior years, were remediated during the current year: • Bank reconciliations for the tax account should be performed by someone independent of the tax collection process. • An independent review and approval of adjustments to accounts receivable and account write-offs. • People 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 process. • Adjusting journal entries and supporting documentation should be reviewed and approved by an appropriate person who is not the original preparer. Page 35 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 8 Other comments and recommendations Decentralized Cash Collections Many governments collect cash at numerous decentralized locations that are separate from the primary system of accounting procedures and controls. The opportunity for theft is often higher at those locations because one person is frequently involved in most, if not all, aspects of a transaction (i.e., lack of segregation of duties). Management is responsible for designing and implementing controls and procedures to detect and prevent fraud. As a result, we recommend that management review its decentralized cash collection procedures and controls on a periodic basis and make changes as necessary to strengthen the internal control environment. Reviewing the adequacy of the controls is a responsibility of the governing body. Below are example procedures and controls to help mitigate the risk of loss at decentralized cash collection points: • Implement a centralized receipting process with adequate segregation of duties • For cash collections, ensure pre-numbered receipts are being used and all receipts in the sequence are being reviewed by someone other than the person receipting the cash and receipts tie to deposits • Perform surprise procedures at decentralized locations (cash counts, walkthrough of processes, etc.) • Require regular cash deposits to minimize collection on-hand • Limit the number of separate bank accounts • Segregate duties as much as possible – the person receipting cash should be separate from the person preparing deposits and the person reconciling bank accounts should be separate from the cash collection activity • Perform a month-to-month or year-to-year comparison to look for unusual changes in collections • If collecting from a drop box site, consider sending two people to collect the funds, especially during peak times We recommend that the Village review possible procedures and controls available to help mitigate the risk. As always, the cost of controls and staffing must be weighed against the benefits of safeguarding your assets. Page 36 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 9 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 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 Net pension liability (asset) and related deferrals Evaluation of information provided by the Wisconsin Retirement System Reasonable in relation to the financial statements as a whole Allowance for doubtful accounts Evaluation of historical revenues and loss levels with the analysis on collectability of individual amounts 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. Page 37 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 10 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. Uncorrected misstatements and 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. The schedule within the attachments summarizes the uncorrected misstatements, other than those that are clearly trivial, that we presented to management and 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 uncorrected misstatements and corrected misstatements, other than those that we consider to be of a lesser magnitude than significant deficiencies and material weaknesses. Management has determined that the effects of the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements as a whole. The uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying them could potentially cause future period financial statements to be materially misstated, even though, in our judgment, such uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the basic financial statements under audit. 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. Page 38 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 11 Other information in documents containing audited basic financial statements Annual report The Village's audited financial statements will be included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. Our responsibility for this information does not extend beyond the financial information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information. We have read the Introductory and Statistical sections to determine whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, was materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, in the financial statements. Official 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 auditors' 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. We will issue a separate document which contains the results of our audit procedures to comply with the Uniform Guidance. 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 auditors' report. No such matters or conditions have come to our attention during our engagement. Page 39 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 12 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. We were not engaged to report on the other information, which accompanies the financial statements but are not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other information, and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. Nonattest services The following nonattest services were provided by Baker Tilly: • Adjusting journal entries and financial statement preparation • Preparation of regulatory reports (Public Service Commission, State Report) • Accounting assistance In addition, 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.

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. Page 54 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 27 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 Page 55 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 28 Uncorrected misstatements • Costs previously reported as Governmental activities construction work in progress were determined to be unrelated to capital additions and were written off in the current year. As a result, beginning net position and current year expenses are overstated by $714,711. Material corrected misstatements Description Opinion unit Amount To record utility depreciation Water Utility, Sewer Utility $2,449,748 To record capital activity Water Utility $1,604,458 To record building lease Debt Service Fund $1,392,245 To adjust receivables Water Utility $250,000 The remaining misstatements that were identified and corrected by management were not material individually or in the aggregate to the financial statements taken as a whole. Page 56 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 29 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. For audits performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, our report will include a paragraph that states that the purpose of the report is solely to describe the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance and that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering internal control over financial reporting and compliance. The paragraph will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. 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 and Government Auditing Standards, OMB’s Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Page 57 of 235 © 2025 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 30 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. For audits done in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, the Uniform Guidance, our report will include a paragraph that states that the purpose of the report is solely to describe (a) the scope of testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the result of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance, (b) the scope of testing internal control over compliance for major programs and major program compliance and the result of that testing and to provide an opinion on compliance but not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance and, (c) that the report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the Uniform Guidance, in considering internal control over compliance and major program compliance. The paragraph will also state that the report is not suitable for any other purpose. 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 statements. 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? 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. We perform preliminary financial audit work during the months of October-December, and sometimes early 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 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 auditors' 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.

Responsibility for both the accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the village government. The report was prepared by the Village's Administration and Finance departments and contains represen tations concerning the finances of the Village. We believe the data, as presented is accurate in all material aspects; that it is presented in a manner designed to fairly set forth the financial position and results of operations of the Village as measured by financial acti vity of its various funds; and t hat all disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain reasonable understanding of its financial affairs have been included. The Village retained the services of Baker Tilly US, LLP to perform its audit. Based upon standard audit procedures, Baker Tilly US, LLP has issued an unmodified opinion on the Village's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The auditor's opinion is located at the front of the financial section of this report. Report Format The Annual Comprehensive Financial Report is presented in three main sections: introductory, financial and statistical. The intr oductory section contains this transmittal letter, the Village's organizational chart, a list of principal officials, an d other information. The financial section contains the independent auditors report, management's discu ssion and analysis (MD&A), government-wide financial statements, notes to the financial statements and more detailed fund financial statements. A third section provides selected statistical and general information pr esented on a multi-year comparative basis. Reporting Entity This report includes all funds of the Village of Germant own. The criteria used in determining the reporting entity are consis tent with criteria es tablished by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) as outlined in the Codification of Governmental Account ing and Financial Reporting Standards. This report includes the General Fund, which accounts fo r the general administration of the Village, Special Revenue funds relating to Economic Development, and long-term Capital Projects funds and Internal Service Funds. The report also includes the Village's Enterprise funds that account for the Water and Wastewater Utilities. Internal se rvice funds provide info rmation on the health and dental protection plans of the Village's employees. Village Profile Located 25 miles northwest of Milwaukee, Germantown encompa sses 34 square miles in the southeast corner of Washington County. Germant own is one of the larges t villages in geographical Page 65 of 235 ii area in the State of Wisconsin. The Village's current population, as of the 2020 census, is 20,917, a 5.8% increase over the prior ten year's period. The 2025 estimated population is 21,053. The Village operates under a council-manager form of government. There are nine members on the Germantown Village Board. Eight of the members are elected from four trustee districts and the Village President is elected at large. Board members are elected to three-year terms. The appointed Village Administrator is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Vill age, the appointment of administrative staff members, and the supervision of all employees. The area offers a pleasing, small-town character enhanced by all the modern amenities of a first-class suburb. Germantown residents take advantage of exceptional schools, modern healthcare providers, attractive real estate, well- maintained parks and facilities as well as unique shops and local restaurants. While the village has worked hard to provide its resident s with the finest in big-city conveniences, it has wo rked equally hard to maintain it s rich German heritage and beautiful architecture. The Village provides typical municipal services including polic e, fire, emergency dispatch and ambulance services; public works activities such as highway and st reet maintenance, and recycling; recreational activities such as parks, recreation pr ograms, public library and s enior activity center; community development activities includi ng planning and zoning enforcement, economic development, and general administrat ive and financial services. T he Village operates a Water and Wastewater Utility as enterprise funds. Accounting Systems and Budgetary Control The Village's accounting records for governmental and custodial funds ar e based upon the modified accrual basis, with revenues recorded when av ailable and measurable and expenditures recorded when the services and goods are received, and the liabilities incurred. Accounting records for the Village's utilities are maintained on an accrual basis. In developing the Village's overall accounting system, consideration was given to the adequacy of the internal accounting control struct ure. Internal controls are des igned to provide reasonable but not absolute assurance regarding: (1) the safeguarding of assets against loss from unauthorized use or disposition and (2) the reliability of financial resources for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance recognized that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2 ) the evaluation of costs and ben efits requires estimates and judgements by management. We believe that th e Village's internal acc ounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provides reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. Village Board policy provides for adoption of an annual budget prepared by management. The budget, as adopted by the Board, is intended to appropriate expenditures on a program or functional basis. The Village Administrator is granted authority to make mid-year adjustments within budgeted accounts of a department. Budget amendment s which change a departmental budget appropriation or are transfers between departments or funds must be approved by a 2/3 majority of the Village Board. The Village Board's upda ted Fund Balance Policy establishes a minimum unassigned Fund Balance. It states that the Village will maintain a minimum unassigned fund balance in its General Fund ranging from 16% to 25% of the subseque nt year's budgeted expenditures. This minimum fund balance is to protect against cash flow shortfalls related to timing of projected revenue receipts and to maintain a budget stabilization commitment. The 2026 unassi gned fund balance is 20. 73% of the subsequent year's expenditure budget, changing from $5.11 million in 2024 compared to $4.72 million in 2025. When an unassigned fund balance of the General Fund exceeds 20%, the Village may consider such fund balance surpluses for one-time expenditures that are nonrecurring in nature, and which will not require additional staffing or recurring expenditures. Page 66 of 235 iii Economic Conditions and Outlook The Village's $4,424,654,900 property tax base of equalized value is primarily residential (66%) but has a sizeable commercial (25%) and manufacturing (8%) presence as well. The Village's overall equalized value increased by 5%, following an increase of 7% the previous year. The average unemployment rate for Washington county in 2025 was 2.8%, which is lower than the Wisconsin state average of 3.2%. With the use of a variety of financing tools such as impact fees, tax incremental financing incentives, and close partnerships with local business, the Village will be able to maintain current services to our constituents. We have been able to balance the community with a mixture of agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial/office development. Germantown's fine school system and parks and recreational activities are also helpful in acquiring and keeping our residential base. Tax Incremental District No. 6 (Willow Creek Busine ss Park) is a Mixed-Use District, that is bounded by Appleton Avenue, Lannon Road, and Maple Road. Current construction includes Discount Ramps, Metro Cigars and Ryan Companies. The base valu e was $2,796,000 and has grown to $64,308,800 in 2025. The TID is projected to close in 2033. Tax Incremental District No. 7 is designated as an Industrial TID. The TID was amended in 2021 in order to add territory. This district was created to capture economic growth related to JW Speaker and so far the development has not created sufficient increment to cover the District's expenses. In 2021, the TID was amended to add territo ry and account for the Planned C apstone Quadrangle industrial park development. The area included in the Dist rict encompasses 144.2 ac res owned by the J.W. Speaker Corporation, locat ed on Freistadt Road and by Nort h Goldendale Rd and Capstone Quadrangle property along Goldendale Road. The project allowed for ext ension of 16” public watermain and the 18” public sanitary sewer interc eptor from their current terminus approximately 2,400 feet north along Go ldendale Road. The extens ion facilitated growth within the district and allowed for utility connection through to Tax Increment District No. 8. The amendment includes properties on Goldendale Road. The base va lue was $9,642,400 and has grown to $65,992,600 in 2025. The TID projected closure of 2031. In July 2018 the Village created Tax Increment Distri ct No. 8. The district is an industrial TID, encompassing 224.8 acres which is broken into two development areas, the property controlled by Zilber Property Group (approximately 151.3 acres) and the remaining 73.5 acres to be developed in later phases. The Village anticipates making total project expenditures of approximately $14.2 million, with completion in phases as development requires. Construction in 2019 included a 706,800 square foot Briggs & Stratton warehouse fa cility, with two other multi-tenant industrial buildings constructed by Zilber Property Group, plus a 100,000 square foot manufacturing facility for Dielectric. The Village had three TID No. 8 related bond issues in 2019, $6,725,000 G.O. Community Development Bonds, $1,755,000 Taxable G.O. Community Development Bonds, and $7,850,000 G.O. Corporate Purpose bonds. The taxable issue will reimburse Zilber Pr operty Group to cover their costs for internal infrastructure improvements; the other two issues have funded the expansion of water and sewer main to the development as well as r oad reconstruction costs. The issues also provided the initial funding to construct Well #12 and Water Tower #4, in conj unction with the Water Utility. The base value was $640,700 and has grown to $240,334,300 in 2025. The TID is projected to close in 2031. The Water Utility currently operates six wells; three deep and three shallow; with a capacity of 4,415,000 gallons per day plus four elevated tank water towers, tw o at 125 feet and two at 190 feet. The 2025 average daily water pumped for customer consumption was 1,716,923 gallons. The village is moving forward with a seventh well completed construction by the end of 2026. The Public Service Commission approved a significant rate increase for the utility during 2021 that took effect at the beginning of 2022. The second phase of the PSC rate increase took effect first quarter of 2025. The Sewer Utility maintains 110.40 miles of sewer main, seven lift stations and one metering station. The Village contracts with Milwaukee Metropolit an Sewerage District (MMSD) for its sewage Page 67 of 235 iv treatment, the charges from MMSD for treatment and its annual capital charge remain the utility's largest expenditure. Wrenwood subdivision, a major housing development proposed for the Northeast side of the Village has required an extension of interceptor sewer main, with an abandonment and construction of a new lift station completed in 2020. The Village continues to follow basic short-term and long-term planning policies. The Village's philosophy strives for manageable conservative budgets that allow for stable financial futures, keeping taxes and utility user rates as low as possible while guaranteeing that funds will be available to protect village infrastructure and services. The Village board is committed to maintaining a positive General Fund balance. This positive bal ance provides the Village with a cushion for unanticipated emergencies. The COVID-19 pandemic is a perfect example of this. By necessity, long range planning in cludes assessment of future debt issuance in conjunction with current debt service requirements. Village debt policies are designed to comply with requirements of Wisconsin State Statutes and bond covenants, while maintain ing the highest bond rating possible. Management reviews capital planning and resultant bond issuance in conjunction with its resources on hand and monitors the effects on future cash fl ows. The Village maintains a solid Aa3 general obligation bond rating from Moody's Investors Service, based upon its healthy fund balance, conservative financial management and aggressive debt repayment schedules. As required by State Law, compr ehensive “smart growth” plans are intended to be the community's guide for future growth and development. These plans must address nine specific elements: land use; housing; transportation; utilities and co mmunity facilities; agricultural, natural and cultural resources; economic development; intergov ernmental cooperation; iss ues and opportunities; and implementation. The Village began the process of updating the current 2020 Comprehensive Plan in 2019 with assistance from GRAEF c onsulting. Public workshops, meetings and hearings concerning the required components of the new 2050 Compre hensive Plan were conduct ed in 2020-2022. The 2050 Comprehensive Plan will include all required elem ents but will reflect current trends and policy decisions made over the last dec ade. The 2050 Comprehensive Plan overall planning process is expected took over 24 months to complete and included an ex tensive “public participation program” that will provide many different opportunities for property owners, residents and other stakeholders to be part of the process. The 2050 Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2022. As in the past several years, development in the Village, be it residential, commercial, or industrial in nature, has been of the high quality necessary to provide the dive rsified tax base and tax rate necessary to provide services expected by the residents of Germantown. The Village of Germantown intends to maintain an adequate financial reserve in addition to a low tax rate to provide the citizens excellent municipal services. Vision Statement: Germantown's ethnic heritage, high quality of life based on its rural and suburban character, and desirable location in the greater metropolitan area create our competitive advantage. Our people will work together, with respect for each other, to ensure that dev elopment is consistent with Germantown's future as a neighborly and safe place to live, work and play. Mission Statement: The Village of Germantown is responsive to our citizens and businesses, embracing our heritage while working together to provide quality services in a fiscally responsible manner that will enhance the quality of life in our community.

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 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) and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standard s issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (Government Auditing Standards). 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 Villa ge 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 accountin g 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 Villa ge'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. x Page 75 of 235 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 and Government Auditing Standard s 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. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, 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 Accountin g 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 auditin g 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. xi Page 76 of 235 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. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report. The other information comprises the introductor y and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report. Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated Jul y 30, 2026 on our consideration of the Village's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the Villa ge's internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Villa ge's internal control over financial reporting and compliance. Madison, Wisconsin July 30, 2026 xii Page 77 of 235 Village of Germantown Management's Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2025 (Unaudited) xiii Management's Discussion and Analysis provides management's overview and analysis of the Village of Germantown's (Village) basic financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. This discussion is designed to assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, provide an overview of the Village's financial activity and identify changes in the Village's financial position. Using This Report This report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities provide information about the activities of the Village as a whole and presents a longer-term view of the Village's finances. As for governmental activities, these statements tell how these services were financed in the short term as well as what remains for future spending. Fund financial statements also report the Village's operations in more detail than the government-wide statement by providing information about the most significant funds. These statements also include information about activities for which the Village acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of those outside the government. Reporting the Village of as Whole - Government-wide Financial Statements One of the most important questions asked about the Village's finances is, is the Village as a whole better off or worse than the year before? The statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities report information that helps answer that question. The statements include assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities and deferred inflows of resources. The Village uses an accrual basis of accounting. The current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid. Net Position is the difference between what the citizens own and what the citizens owe in liabilities at one moment in time. Over time, increases or decreases in the Village's Net Position are one indicator of whether its financial health is improving or not. Other nonfinancial factors play a significant role in determining the Village's overall position, such as changes in the property tax base and the conditions of the Village's capital assets (roads, buildings, water and sewer lines, etc.). Two types of activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities: Governmental activities - Incudes most of the Village's basic services, such as police, fire, street maintenance, parks, library and general administration. These services are supported primarily by property taxes, state revenues and other miscellaneous revenues (inspection fees, fines, permits). Business-type activities - Water and Wastewater services. The Village charges a fee to customers to cover most of the cost of water and sanitary sewer utility services. Reporting the Village's Most Significant Funds - Fund Financial Statements The analysis of the Village's major funds provides detailed information about the most significant funds. Some funds are required to be established by state law and bond covenants. However, the Village establishes other funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants and other money (like donations). The Village's three kinds of funds, governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds use different accounting approaches. Page 78 of 235 Village of Germantown Management's Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2025 (Unaudited) xiv Governmental Funds - Most of the Village's basic services are reported in governmental funds, which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. These funds are reported using an accounting method called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fund statements provide a detailed short-term view of the Village's general operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund information helps the user determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources available to finance the Village's programs in the future. Reconciliations between the government-wide statements and the governmental fund statements are provided with the fund financial statements. The Village maintains twenty-two individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the General Fund, Debt Service Fund, General Capital Projects, and TID No. 8 Capital Projects Fund, which are considered major funds. Data from the remaining funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements later in this report. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 3 - 8 of this report. Proprietary Funds - Proprietary funds are financed and reported in a manner similar to normal business- type entities and are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities. The Village's enterprise funds (a component of proprietary funds) are the same as the business-type activities we report in the government-wide statements but provide more detail and additional information such as cash flows for proprietary funds. The Village's Water and Sewer Utilities are a part of this. The Village also has an internal service fund (the other component of proprietary funds) to report employee self-insurance activities. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 9 - 13 of this report. Fiduciary Funds - Fiduciary Funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties other than the Village. These funds are not available to fund Village activities and are not reflected in the government-wide financial statements. The Village maintains one fiduciary fund, the Tax Collection Fund which records the tax roll and tax collections for the taxing jurisdictions within the Village. It records the assets collected on behalf of other taxing units. Notes to the Financial Statements - The notes to the financial statements provide additional detail that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements begin on page 17 of this report. Supplementary Information - Following the basic government-wide and fund financial statements and accompanying notes, combining statements are included for the nonmajor governmental, enterprise and internal service funds. The last section of The Village of Germantown Annual Comprehensive Financial Report presents statistical and historical reference data. Page 79 of 235 Village of Germantown Management's Discussion and Analysis December 31, 2025 (Unaudited) xv Government-Wide Financial Analysis Net Position Net Position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the Village of Germantown, total net position was approximately $159.1 million as of December 31, 2025. The largest portion of the Village's net position (90.5%) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land, building, equipment, improvements, construction in progress and infrastructure) less any outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The Village uses these assets to provide service to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. It should be noted that the resources needed to pay debt related to capital assets must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves will not be used to liquidate these liabilities. Another portion of the Village's net position (3.9%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining unrestricted net position will be discussed in later sections of this analysis. Net position of the Village as a whole decreased $0.33 million from 2024. Village of Germantown Condensed Statement of Net Position (in millions of dollars) ∗ Net investment in capital assets and unrestricted net position for the primary government includes an adjus tment.

Net position of business-type activities totaled $100.84 million as of December 31, 2025, $1.32 million lower than 2024. Net investment in capital assets decreased by $2.08 million. Also shown are other restricted uses for impact fees, debt service and equipment replacement. Revenues The Statement of Activities on page 2 will show that Program Revenues in the Governmental Activities were $9.55 million and Business-type Activities were $11.50 million in 2025. The increase of $1.39 million in Governmental Activities and decrease of $1.29 million for Business-type activities from 2024 was mainly due to more capital contributions received in the current year for projects covered by the governmental funds, and less developer-added utility infrastructure than prior year. All general revenues other than program revenues, investment income and small miscellaneous amounts are reported as general revenues. Tax revenue, the largest portion of general revenues, increased by $2.93 million from the prior year to $23.08 million. Transfers shown between Governmental Activities and Business-type Activities is $0.10 million. Expenses Total expenses of $48.03 million are an increase of $4.63 million from 2024.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accounting policies of the Village of Germantown, 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 Villa ge. 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 Villa ge 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 fiduciar y funds. The statements distinguish between governmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange revenues. Business-t ype 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 Villa ge 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 Villa ge 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. 17 Page 108 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 Villa ge'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 Funds General 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 projects program. Tax Incremental District (TID) No. 8 Capital Projects Fund is used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditures outlined in the TID project plan. Enterprise Funds The Village reports the following major enterprise funds: Wate r Utility accounts for operations of the water system Sewer Utility accounts for operations of the sewer system The Village reports the following nonmajor governmental funds: Special Revenue Funds Special Revenue Funds are used to account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are restricted or committed to expenditures for specified purposes (other than debt service or capital projects). Police Impact Fee Fund Fire Impact Fee Fund Librar y Impact Fee Fund Park and Recreation Impact Fee Fund Senior Van Replacement Fund Police Asset Forfeiture Fund Police Canine Fund Historic Preservation Fund Library Fund Recreation Facilities Fund Police Honor Guard Fund Fire Explorer Fund American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Fund Propert y Maintenance Fund 18 Page 109 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Capital Projects Funds Capital Projects Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted, committed or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or construction of capital facilities and other capital assets. Tax Incremental District (TID) No. 6 Tax Incremental District (TID) No. 9 Tax Incremental District (TID) No. 7 Library Capital Fund Capital Reserve Fund In addition, the Village reports the following fund types: Internal Service Funds Internal Service Funds are used to account for and report the financing of goods or services provided by one department or agency to other departments or agencies of the Village, or to other governmental units, on a cost-reimbursement basis. Health Insurance Fund Dental Insurance Fund Custodial Fund Custodial Fund is used to account for and report assets controlled by the Villa ge and the assets are for the benefit of individuals, private organizations and/or other governmental units. Tax Collection Fund 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 and sewer 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. 19 Page 110 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 Villa ge 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 Villa ge 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. Special assessments are recorded as revenues when the y become measurable and available as current assets. Annual installments due in future years are reflected as receivables and unavailable revenues. Revenues susceptible to accrual include propert y 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 Proprietar y 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 and sewer funds 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. 20 Page 111 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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. The Village's investment policy allows for demand deposits and certificates of deposit at several designated depositories without restriction as to amount of deposit or collateralization. For other financial institutions, the policy limits certificates of deposit to $500,000 unless collateralized with certain investments. All governmental bonds and securities purchased as collateral must be placed in a segregated account in the Village's name. The investment polic y addresses credit risk and concentration of credit risk by limiting investments to the types of securities listed in the policy, which follows state statutes. The Village will pre- qualify financial institutions, brokers/dealers, intermediaries and advisors before doing business with them. In addition, the Village's investment portfolio will be diversified so that the impact of potential losses from any one type of security or from any one individual issuer will be minimized. The Villa ge's investment policy also addresses interest rate risk by requiring investment in securities that mature to meet cash flow requirements, funds that are primarily made up of shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds or similar investment pools and limiting weighted average maturity of portfolios to three years. 21 Page 112 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Investments are stated at fair value, which is the amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. Fair values are based on methods and inputs as outlined in Note 3. 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 avera ge 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 Villa ge'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 state and county governments 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 Januar y 31, 2026 First installment due Januar y 31, 2026 Second installment due Jul y 31, 2026 Tax sale - 2025 delinquent real estate taxes October 2028 Accounts receivable have been shown net of an allowance for uncollectible accounts. 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 and sewer utilities because the y 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. Prepaid Items Governmental fund inventory items are charged to expenditure accounts when purchased. Year-end inventory was not significant. 22 Page 113 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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. Restricted Assets Mandatory segregations of assets are presented as restricted assets. Such segregations are required by bond agreements and other external parties. Current liabilities payable from these restricted assets are so classified. The excess of restricted assets over current liabilities payable from restricted assets will be used first for retirement of related long-term debt. The remainder, if generated from earnings, is shown as restricted net position. Capital Assets Government-Wide Financial Statements Capital assets, which include property, plant and equipment, are reported in the government- wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial cost of more than $5,000 general capital assets and $25,000 for infrastructure assets and 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 of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the statement of activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the statement of net position. Depreciation 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: Buildin gs 40-50 Years Land improvements 25 Years Machinery and equipment 5-20 Years Utility system 20-100 Years Infrastructure 20-50 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 proprietar y fund operations are accounted for the same way as in the government-wide statements. Other Assets Land held for resale consists of land and improvements and is valued at the lower of market value or cost of acquisition, demolition and site improvements. 23 Page 114 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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. Compensated Absences Under terms of employment, employees are granted sick leave and vacations in varying amounts. Vacation and sick leave pay is accrued in the government-wide and proprietar y 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. Emplo yees who retire and are eligible to draw a Wisconsin Retirement Annuity will have 50%, or other collectively bargained percentage, of their unused accumulated sick leave converted into dollars at the time of their retirement and forwarded to ICMA Retirement Corporation to open a VantageCare Retirement Health Savings Plan (RHS). The RHS is a tax-advantaged investment plan dedicated to funding health care costs. The employee has ownership of the funds and may use the dollars to remain on the Village health care plan until age 65. Funding for the RHS contribution are provided out of the current operating budget of the Village. The contributions are financed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The total expenditure for the year was $115,373. Payments for vacation and sick leave will be made at rates in effect when the benefits are used. Accumulated vacation and sick leave liabilities at December 31, 2025, are determined on the basis of current salary rates and include salary related payments. Long-Term Obligations/Conduit Debt All long-term obligations to be repaid from governmental and business-t ype resources are reported as liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term obligations consist primarily of notes and bonds payable and accrued compensated absences. 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 effective interest method. The balance at year end is shown as an increase or decrease in the liability section of the statement of net position. The Villa ge has approved the issuance of industrial revenue bonds (IRB) for the benefit of private business enterprises. IRB's are secured by mortgages or revenue agreements on the associated projects, and do not constitute indebtedness of the Village. Accordingly, the bonds are not reported as liabilities in the accompanying financial statements. The total amount of IRB's outstanding at the end of the year is approximately $25,539,265, made up of 9 issues. Leases The Villa ge 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. 24 Page 115 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 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. 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 $ 52,779,442 $ 92,208,228 $ (13,644,371) $ 131,343,299 Unrestricted 3,219,800 7,035,607 13,644,371 23,899,778 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. 25 Page 116 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 Villa ge 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 Director of Finance 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 Villa ge 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 first use committed, then assigned and lastly unassigned amounts of unrestricted fund balance when expenditures are made. The Villa ge has a formal minimum fund balance policy. That policy is to maintain a working capital fund of 16-25% of the Village's subsequent year general fund expenditure budget. The balance at year-end was $4,723,439, or 20.7%, and is included in unassigned general fund balance. 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. 26 Page 117 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Basis for Existing Rates Water Utility Current water rates were approved by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin, effective December 16, 2024, or the first quarter bills in 2025. Sewer Utility Current sewer rates were approved by the Village Board with an effective date of December 16, 2024, or the first quarter bills in 2025. 2. Stewardship, Compliance and Accountability Budgetary Information A budget has been adopted for the all funds except the Capital Reserve Fund, as it was established during 2025. Wisconsin Statute 65.90 requires that an annual budget be adopted for all funds. Excess Expenditures and Other Financing Uses Over Budget The following funds had significant expenditures and other financing uses over budget: Funds Budgeted Expenditures and Other Financing Uses Actual Expenditures and Other Financing Uses Excess Expenditures and Other Financing Uses Over Budget General Fund $ 22,699,972 $ 23,255,863 $ 555,891 Police Canine Fund 1,000 1,728 728 Library Fund - 56,695 56,695 Fire Explorer Fund 2,000 3,215 1,215 Property Maintenance Fund 2,500 2,621 121 ARPA 57,800 500,581 442,781 TID No. 6 Capital Projects Fund 531,542 548,289 16,747 TID No. 9 Capital Projects Fund 231,270 507,233 275,963 The Village controls expenditures at the department 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. Deficit Balances Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosure of individual funds that have deficit balances at year end. As of December 31, 2025, the following individual funds held a deficit balance: Fund Amount Reason Historic Preservation $ 361 Expenditures exceeded revenues TID No. 7 Capital Projects 682,826 Expenditures exceeded revenues TID No. 8 Capital Projects 2,760,288 Expenditures exceeded revenues TID No. 9 Capital Projects 570,473 Expenditures exceeded revenues Property Maintenance 585 Expenditures exceeded revenues 27 Page 118 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 TIF district deficits are anticipated to be funded with future incremental taxes levied over the life of the districts, which is 27 years for the districts created before October 1, 1995, and 23 years for districts created thereafter through September 30, 2004. Beginning October 1, 2004, the life of new districts varies by type of district (20-27 years) and may be extended in some cases. The propert y maintenance fund and historic preservation fund deficits are anticipated to be funded with future charges for services and donations. Limitations on the Village's Tax Levy Wisconsin law limits the Villa ge'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 Villa ge'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. 3. Detailed Notes on All Funds Deposits and Investments The Village's deposits and investments at year end were comprised of the following: Carrying Value Statement Balances Associated Risks Deposits $ 20,582,540 $ 19,512,339 Custodial credit U.S. agencies, implicitly guaranteed 1,955,711 1,955,711 Custodial credit, interest rate, credit, concentration of credit U.S. treasuries 4,871,129 4,871,129 Custodial credit, interest rate State and local bonds 2,563,396 2,563,396 Credit, custodial credit, concentration of credit, interest rate LGIP 17,334,597 17,334,597 Credit Certificates of deposit (negotiable) 1,073,302 1,073,302 Custodial credit risk, credit, concentration of credit, interest rate Petty cash 657 - N/A Total deposits and investments $ 48,381,332 $ 47,310,474 Reconciliation to financial statements Per statement of net position: Unrestricted cash and investments $ 12,298,076 Restricted cash and investments 2,399,703 Per statement of net position, fiduciary fund: Cash and investments 33,683,553 Total deposits and investments $ 48,381,332 28 Page 119 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 not been considered in computing custodial credit risk. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), created by the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970, is an independent government-sponsored corporation (not an agency of the U.S. government). SIPC membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which $100,000 may be in cash. $500,000 of the Village's investments are covered by SIPC. The Villa ge maintains collateral agreements with its banks. At December 31, 2025, the banks had pledged various government securities in the amount of $40,000,000 to secure the Village's deposits. The Villa ge categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The valuation methods for recurring fair value measurements are as follows: • Quoted market prices December 31, 2025 Investment Type Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Certificates of deposit (negotiable) $ - $ 1,073,302 $ - $ 1,073,302 U.S. agencies, implicitly guaranteed - 1,955,711 - 1,955,711 State and local bonds - 2,563,396 - 2,563,396 U.S. treasuries - 4,871,129 - 4,871,129 Total $ - $ 10,463,538 $- $ 10,463,538 Custodial Credit Risk Deposits Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a financial institution failure, the Village's deposits may not be returned to the Village. The Village does not have any deposits exposed to custodial credit risk. Investments For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the Villa ge will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. All investments that are subject to custodial credit risk have collateral held by the pledging financial institution. 29 Page 120 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the Village's investments were rated as follows: Investment Type Standard & Poors Moody's Investors Services Certificates of deposit (negotiable) N/A N/A U.S. agencies, implicitly guaranteed AA+ Aa1 State and local bonds AAA Aa1, Aa2, Aaa The Village also held investments in the following external pool which is not rated: Local Government Investment Pool Concentration of Credit Risk Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government's investment in a single issuer. At December 31, 2025, the Village's investment portfolio was concentrated as follows: Issuer Investment Type Percentage of Portfolio Federal Home Loan Banks U.S. agencies, implicitly guaranteed % 7.04 Interest Rate Risk Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the value of an investment. As of December 31, 2025, the Village's investments were as follows: Maturity (in Years) Investment Type Fair Value Less Than 1 Year 1-5 Years Certificates of deposit (negotiable) $ 1,073,302 $ 495,242 $ 578,060 U.S. agencies, implicitly guaranteed 1,955,711 1,656,545 299,166 State and local bonds 2,563,396 - 2,563,396 U.S. treasuries 4,871,129 4,871,129 - Total $ 10,463,538 $ 7,022,916 $ 3,440,622 See Note 1 for further information on deposit and investment policies. Receivables All of the receivables on the balance sheet are expected to be collected within one year, except for leases and delinquent taxes. 30 Page 121 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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.

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 12/31/2016) are entitled to a retirement benefit 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. 42 Page 133 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 % Variable Fund Adjustment % 2015 2.9 2.0 2016 0.5 (5.0) 2017 2.0 4.0 2018 2.4 17.0 2019 0.0 (10.0) 2020 1.7 21.0 2021 5.1 13.0 2022 7.4 15.0 2023 1.6 (21.0) 2024 3.6 15.0 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 $1,170,412 in contributions from the Village. Contribution rates for the plan year reported as of December 31, 2025 are: Employee Category Employee Employer General (Executives & Elected Officials) 6.90 % 6.90 % Protective with Social Security 6.90 14.30 Protective without Social Security 6.90 19.10 43 Page 134 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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 $1,228,273 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 Villa ge'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 Villa ge's proportion was 0.07475047%, which was an increase of 0.00484554% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Village recognized pension expense (revenue) of $1,327,385. At December 31, 2025, the Villa ge reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions from the following sources: Deferred Outflows of Resources Deferred Inflows of Resources Differences between projected and actual experience $ 4,251,064 $ 4,021,000 Changes in assumptions 364,452 - Net differences between projected and actual earnings on pension plan investments 1,866,427 - Changes in proportion and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions - 54,533 Employer contributions subsequent to the measurement date 1,061,576 - Total $ 7,543,519 $ 4,075,533 $1,061,576 reported as deferred outflows of resources related to pension resulting from the WRS Employer's contributions subsequent to the measurement date will be recognized as a reduction of the net pension liability (asset) in the year ended December 31, 2026. Other amounts reported as deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pension will be recognized in pension expense as follows: Years Ending December 31: Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources (Net) 2026 $ 716,065 2027 2,530,184 2028 (639,976) 2029 (199,863) 44 Page 135 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Actuarial Assumptions The total pension liability in the actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement: Actuarial Valuation Date: December 31, 2023 Measurement Date of Net Pension Liability (Asset): December 31, 2024 Experience Study: January 1, 2021 - December 31, 2023 Published November 19, 2024 Actuarial Cost Method: Entry Age Normal Asset Valuation Method: Fair Value Long-Term Expected Rate of Return: 6.8% Discount Rate: 6.8% Salary Increases: Wage Inflation Seniority/Merit 3.0% 0.1% - 5.7% Mortality: 2020 WRS Experience Mortality Table Postretirement Adjustments*: 1.7% * No postretirement adjustment is guaranteed. Actual adjustments are based on recognized investment return, actuarial experience and other factors. 1.7% is the assumed annual adjustment based on the investment return assumption and the postretirement discount rate. Includes the impact of known Market Recognition Account deferred gains/losses on the liability for dividend payments. Actuarial assumptions are based upon an experience study conducted in 2024 that covered a three-year period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. Based on this experience study, actuarial assumptions used to measure the Total Pension Liability changed from prior year, including seniority (merit) and separation rates. The Total Pension Liability for December 31, 2024 is based upon a roll-forward of the liability calculated from the December 31, 2023 actuarial valuation. 45 Page 136 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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: Asset Allocation Targets and Expected Returns* as of December 31, 2024 Core Fund Asset Class Asset Allocation % Long-Term Expected Nominal Rate of Return % Long-Term Expected Real Rate of Return %** Public Equity 38 7.0 4.3 Public Fixed Income 27 6.1 3.4 Inflation Sensitive 19 4.8 2.1 Real Estate 8 6.5 3.8 Private Equity/Debt 20 9.5 6.7 Leverage*** (12) 3.7 1.1 Total Core Fund 100 7.5 4.8 Variable Fund Asset U.S. Equities 70 6.5 3.8 International Equities 30 7.4 4.7 Total Variable Fund 100 6.9 4.2 * Asset Allocations are managed within established ranges; target percentages may differ from actual monthly allocations ** New England Pension Consultants' Long-Term U.S. CPI (Inflation) Forecast: 2.6% *** The investment policy used for the Core Fund involves reducing equity exposure by leveraging lower-volatility assets, such as fixed income securities. Currently, an asset allocation target of 12% policy leverage is used subject to an allowable range of up to 20%. 46 Page 137 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 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. Sensitivity of the Village's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the Village's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) calculated using the discount rate of 6.80%, as well as what the Village's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1- percentage-point lower (5.80%) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.80%) than the current rate: 1% Decrease to Discount Rate (5.8%) Current Discount Rate (6.8%) 1% Increase to Discount Rate (7.8%) Village's proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) $ 11,522,813 $ 1,228,273 $ (6,085,701) Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position Detailed information about the pension plan's fiduciary net position is available in separately issued financial statements available at https://etf.wi.gov/about-etf/reports-and-studies/financial- reports-and-statements. At December 31, 2025, the Village reported a payable to the pension plan which represents contractually required contributions outstanding as of the end of the year. 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. The Village participates in a public entity risk pool called to provide coverage for losses from torts; theft of, damage to or destruction of assets; errors and omission; and workers compensation. However, other risks, such as health and dental care of its employees are accounted for and financed by the Village in the health insurance and dental insurance internal service funds. 47 Page 138 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 Self Insurance For health claims, the uninsured risk of loss is $45,000 per incident and $2,000,000 in the aggregate for a policy year. The Village has purchased commercial insurance for claims in excess of those amounts. Settled claims have not exceeded the commercial coverage in any of the past three years. All funds of the Village participate in the risk management program. Accounts payable in the internal service funds are based on estimates of the amounts necessary to pay prior and current year claims. That reserve was $1,301,519 at year-end and is reported in unrestricted net position of the internal service funds. A liability for a claim is established if information indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Liabilities include an amount for claims that have been incurred but not reported. The Village does not allocate overhead costs or other nonincremental costs to the claims liability. Claims Liability Prior Year Current Year Unpaid Claims, Beginning $ 44,415 $ 46,627 Current year claims and changes in estimates 1,379,990 1,899,420 Claim payments (1,377,778) (1,843,577) Unpaid Claims, Ending $ 46,627 $ 102,470 Public Entity Risk Pool Wisconsin Municipal Insurance Commission (WMIC) Cities and Villages Mutual Insurance Company (CVMIC) The WMIC is an intergovernmental cooperation commission created by contract under Section 66.30 of the Wisconsin Statutes. It was created in August, 1987 for the purpose of facilitating the organization, establishment and capitalization of the CVMIC, and has numerous cities and villages as members. The CVMIC is a municipal mutual insurance company established on September 14, 1987 under Section 611.23 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The CVMIC provides liability insurance coverage to the cities and villages which make up the membership of the WMIC. The CVMIC is self-insured up to a maximum of $2,000,000 of each insurance risk. Losses paid by CVMIC plus administrative expenses will be recovered through premiums to the participating pool of municipalities. The Village's share of such losses is approximately 1.7%. Management of each organization consists of a board of directors or officers comprised of representatives elected by each of three classes of participants based on population. The Village does not exercise any control over the activities of the agencies beyond the election of the officers and board. Financial statements of WMIC and CVMIC can be obtained directly from CVMIC's offices. 48 Page 139 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Village pays an annual premium to CVMIC for its general liability insurance, which provides coverage up to $5,000,000 per occurrence, less the Village's retained liability. The Village's retained liability is limited to $25,000 per occurrence and an annual aggregate limit of $100,000. An actuarially determined estimate has been recorded for this liability, as well as for claims incurred but not reported at December 31, 2025. A total liability of approximately $67,889 at December 31, 2025, was recorded as claims payable in the insurance internal service fund. Changes in the fund's claims loss liability follow: Year Beginning Balance Incurred Claims Claims Paid/ Settled Ending Balance 2025 $ - $ 88,000 $ 20,111 $ 67,889 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 Villa ge 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 Villa ge 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. Developer Agreements In 2018, the Village issued a municipal revenue obligation as part of a development agreement. The amount of the obligation was $1,000,000, and is payable to the developer solely from tax increments collected from a specific portion of the development in TIF No. 8. Payments are scheduled through the year 2033, and carry an interest rate of 3.75%. The obligation does not constitute a charge upon any funds of the Village. In the event that future tax increments are not sufficient to pay off the obligation, the obligation terminates with no further liability to the Villa ge. Since the amount of future payments is contingent on the collection of future TIF increments, the obligation is not reported as a liability in the accompanying financial statements. The balance of the commitment outstanding at year end was $720,997. Subsequent Event On Ma y 21, 2026 the Village issued general obligation promissory notes in the amount of $17,170,000 with an interest rate of 5.00%. This amount will be used to finance capital improvements. Tax Abatement Tax abatements are a reduction in tax revenues that results from an agreement between one or more governments and an individual or entity in which (a) one or more governments promise to forgo tax revenues to which they are otherwise entitled and (b) the individual or entity promises to take a specific action after the agreement has been entered into that contributes to economic development or otherwise benefits the governments or the citizens of those governments. The Village is disclosing all abatement agreements individually. 49 Page 140 of 235 Village of Germantown Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2025 The Village through its Tax Incremental Financing District (TIF) No. 8 has entered into tax abatement agreements with a developers in the form of tax incremental financing incentive payments to stimulate economic development. The abatements are authorized through the TID pro ject plan. The developers pay property taxes as they become due, and after meeting the criteria established in the development agreements, are entitled to future incentive payments that directly correlate to the taxes paid.
