Executive Summary
__________________________________________________________________________________
(1)
We prepared this Executive Audit Summary in conjunction with our audit of City of Menasha’s (the City)
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Audit Opinions over Financial Statements
Based on the audit procedures performed, we’ve concluded that your financial statements are fairly
stated. We issued what is known as a “clean” audit report.
Summary of Auditors’ Results
Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
An audit finding is a comment on either the design and/or the effectiveness of the system of internal
control. An audit finding may involve financial reporting, compliance, and/or the design or effectiveness
of internal controls. Our report on internal control included the following deficiency in internal controls
over financial reporting:
Significant Deficiency:
Finding 2025-001 Preparation of Annual Financial Report
This finding is recurring from prior year and management has responded with sufficient corrective
action. Management believes the cost for additional staff time and training to prepare year-end reports
outweigh the benefits to be received. They will continue to review and approve the financial reports
prior to issuance.
Noncompliance material to the financial statements:
None reported

FORMAL REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS
Honorable Mayor and Common Council Members
City of Menasha, Wisconsin
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of City of Menasha, Wisconsin as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, and have
issued our report thereon dated June 24, 2026. We have previously communicated to you information
about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America,
Government Auditing Standards, and the Department of Health Services Audit Guide, as well as certain
information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit in our engagement letter dated January
8, 2026. Professional standards also require that we communicate to you the following information
related to our audit.
Significant audit findings or issues
Qualitative aspects of accounting practices
Accounting policies
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant
accounting policies used by City of Menasha, Wisconsin are described in Note 1 to the financial
statements.
No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed
during 2025.
We noted no transactions entered into by the entity during the year for which there is a lack of
authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial
statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates
Accounting 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 and because of the possibility that future events affecting them
may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimate affecting the financial
statements was:
Page 6 of 174
Honorable Mayor and Common Council Members
City of Menasha, Wisconsin
(3)
Management’s estimate of the single employer other post-employment benefit (OPEB) Liability
and related deferred inflows and outflows is based on an actuarial report. We evaluated the
methods, assumptions, and data used to develop the single employer OPEB liability and related
disclosures in determining that it is reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a
whole.
Financial statement disclosures
Certain financial statement disclosures are particularly sensitive because of their significance to
financial statement users. There were no particularly sensitive financial statement disclosures.
The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear.
Significant unusual transactions
We identified no significant unusual transactions.
Difficulties encountered in performing the audit
We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our
audit.
Uncorrected misstatements
Professional standards require us to accumulate all misstatements identified during the audit, other
than those that are clearly trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management.
Management has determined that the effects of uncorrected misstatements are immaterial, both
individually and in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole. T he following
summarizes the uncorrected misstatement of the financial statements:
During the closure audit of Tax Incremental District #4, it was found that an escrow account in
the amount of $53,668 was not recorded as a cash asset in the fund. As a result, an entry to
record the asset was recorded and this overstates 2025 revenues.
Uncorrected misstatements or the matters underlying uncorrected misstatements could potentially
cause future-period financial statements to be materially misstated, even if management has concluded
that the uncorrected misstatements are immaterial to the financial statements under audit.
Corrected misstatements
None of the misstatements detected as a result of audit procedures and corrected by management
were material, either individually or in the aggregate, to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Disagreements with management
For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a disagreement on a financial
accounting, reporting, or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, that could be
significant to the financial statements or the auditors’ report. No such disagreements arose during our
audit.
Management representations
We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the attached
management representation letter dated June 24, 2026.

Management consultations with other independent accountants
In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and
accounting matters, similar to obtaining a “second opinion” on certain situations. If a consultation
involves application of an accounting principle to the entity’s financial statements or a determination of
the type of auditors’ opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards
require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant
facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants.
Significant issues discussed with management prior to engagement
We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and
auditing standards, with management each year prior to engagement as the entity’s auditors. However,
these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses
were not a condition to our engagement.
Required supplementary information
With respect to the required supplementary information (RSI) accompanying the financial statements,
we made certain inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the RSI, including whether
the RSI has been measured and presented in accordance with prescribed guidelines, whether the
methods of measurement and preparation have been changed from the prior period and the reasons
for any such changes, and whether there were any significant assumptions or interpretations underlying
the measurement or presentation of the RSI. We compared the RSI for consistency with management’s
responses to the foregoing inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge obtained
during the audit of the basic financial statements. Because these limited procedures do not provide
sufficient evidence, we did not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI.
Supplementary information in relation to the financial statements as a whole
With respect to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) and the schedule of
expenditures of state awards (SESA) accompanying the financial statements, on which we were
engaged to report in relation to the financial statements as a whole, we made certain inquiries of
management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the SEFA and SESA to
determine that the SEFA and SESA comply with the requirements of the Department of Health Services
Audit Guide, the method of preparing them has not changed from the prior period or the reasons for
such changes, and the SEFA and SESA are appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the
financial statements. We compared and reconciled the SEFA and SESA and to the underlying
accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves.
We have issued our report thereon dated June 24, 2026.
With respect to the individual and combining fund statements and schedules, and the Schedule of
Settlement of DHS Cost Reimbursement Award – Public Health Department as required by the
Department of Health Services Audit Guide, (collectively, the supplementary information)
accompanying the financial statements, on which we were engaged to report in relation to the financial
statements as a whole, 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 or the reasons for such changes, 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 have issued our report thereon dated
June 24, 2026.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Common Council Members
City of Menasha, Wisconsin
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Menasha, Wisconsin (the City) as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the
City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City, as of December 31, 2025, the respective changes in financial position, and,
where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the budgetary statement for the general fund 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
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 City and to meet our other
ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinions.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the
design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions
or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue
as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently
known information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that
includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance
and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS and Government
Auditing Standards 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 City’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 City’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 schedules
relating to pensions and other postemployment benefits as listed in the table of contents be presented
to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management
and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic
financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with GAAS, 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
Page 30 of 174
Honorable Mayor and Common Council Members
City of Menasha, Wisconsin
(3)
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.
Management has omitted the management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic
financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or
historical context. Our opinions on the basic financial statements are not affected by this missing
information.
Supplementary Information
Our audit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on
the financial statements that collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements. The individual
and combining fund statements and schedules are presented for purposes of additional analysis and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of Settlement of DHS Cost
Reimbursement and schedule of expenditures of federal and state awards, as required by the
Wisconsin Department of Health Services Audit Guide, for the year ended December 31, 2025 are also
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are 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 for the year ended December 31, 2025 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 GAAS. In our opinion, the supplementary information is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole for the year
ended December 31, 2025.
We also previously audited, in accordance with GAAS, the basic financial statements of the City as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2024, (not presented herein), and have issued our report thereon
dated June 19, 2025 which contained unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, the discretely presented component unit, each
major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information. The individual and combining fund
statements and schedules for the year ended December 31, 2024 are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and related directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the 2024 basic financial statements. The information was subjected
to the audit procedures applied in the audit of the 2024 basic financial statements and certain additional
procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare those financial statements or to those financial statements
themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. In our opinion, individual and
combining fund statements and schedules are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Report on Summarized Comparative Information
We have previously audited the City’s 2024 financial statements, and we expressed unmodified audit
opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities,
the discretely presented component unit, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information in our report dated June 19, 2025. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information
presented herein as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, is consistent, in all material
respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
June 24, 2026, on our consideration of the City’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 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 City’s
internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

RECONCILIATION TO THE STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
Net Change in Fund Balances as Shown on Previous Page 1,443,440$ 125,658$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of
Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.
However, in the Statement of Activities the cost of those assets is
allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as
depreciation expense.
Capital Assets Reported as Expenditures in Governmental
Fund Statements 5,287,104 11,888,720
Depreciation and Amortization Expense Reported in the
Statement of Activities (3,101,043) (2,794,219)
Net Book Value of Disposals 113,327 48,901
Governmental funds do not present revenues that are not available
to pay current obligations. In contrast, such revenues are
reported in the Statement of Activities when earned. (1,363,447) (340,310)
Debt issued provides current financial resources to governmental
funds, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the
Statement of Net Position. Repayment of bond principal is an
expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment
reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position.
Lease Principal Repaid 49,576 35,922
Long-Term Debt Issued (3,630,000) (5,121,081)
Lease Principal Issued - (72,138)
Premium on Debt Issued (128,043) (173,239)
Principal Repaid 2,720,771 2,696,934
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not
require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not
reported as expenditures in the governmental funds:
Accrued Interest on Long-Term Debt (23,466) (13,896)
Amortization of Premium 54,194 38,624
Compensated Absences (33,820) (570,020)

Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Other

Internal service funds are used by management to charge the
costs of certain activities to individual funds. The net revenue
(expense) of the internal service funds is reported with
governmental activities. (71,907) (105,508)

NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2025

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The basic financial statements of the City of Menasha, Wisconsin (the City), have been
prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental
accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting principles and
policies utilized by the City are described below:
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Menasha is a municipal corporation governed by an elected eight-member
board. In accordance with GAAP, the basic financial statements are required to include
the City (the primary government) and any separate component units that have a
significant operational or financial relationship with the City. The City has identified the
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Menasha, Wisconsin (RDA) and Menasha
Utilities as component units to be included in the City’s financial statements in
accordance with standards.
B. Individual Component Units
Discretely Presented Component Unit
The component unit column in the basic financial statements includes the financial data
of the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Menasha, Wisconsin (the RDA). The RDA
was established to coordinate blight prevention and elimination and urban renewal
throughout the City. The financial statements of the RDA are discretely presented in a
separate column to emphasize that it is legally separate from the City. The RDA is
governed by a seven-member board appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the City
Council. The RDA essentially exists to provide oversight and funding for City
development projects in accordance with the powers conferred by the Wisconsin
Statutes. City approval is needed for the acquisition and transfer of real estate, exercise
powers of eminent domain, issuance of debt and establishment of an annual budget.
Separate financial statements are not prepared for the RDA.
Blended Component Unit
Although legally separate from the City, Menasha Utilities is blended and reported as if it
were a part of the primary government because of the fiscal dependency, financial
burden, and financial benefit between the City and Menasha Utilities.

C. Joint Ventures
Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission
The City of Menasha is a participant with six other area municipalities in a joint venture
to operate a wastewater treatment facility. The Neenah-Menasha Sewerage
Commission was created for that purpose. The Commission is governed by a seven-
member board composed of appointed members from the various municipalities. The
Commission is designed to be a self-supporting entity, deriving its revenues from
sewage treatment user fees from the various municipalities and industries it serves. The
Commission has not been created for profit, and no part of the net income or profit shall
accrue to the benefit of any private individual or any organization created for profit.
Complete financial statements for the Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission can be
obtained from the Commission's office at 101 Garfield Avenue, Menasha, Wisconsin
54952.
Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court
The City of Neenah and the City of Menasha have enacted joint ordinances creating the
Menasha-Neenah Municipal Court. Each City’s proportionate share in the annual
operations is equal to the percentage share of citations issued by that city compared to
the total citations issued by both cities since the inception of the municipal court. The
breakdown as of December 31, 2025, was as follows:
Number of
Citations
Number of Since % of
2025 Citations Inception Total
City of Menasha 1,608 40,710 39.93%
City of Neenah 1,987 61,236 60.07%
Totals 3,595 101,946 100.00%
The municipal court prepares an annual budget and submits it to Neenah and Menasha
as part of the cities’ annual budgeting process. The cities each pay a proportionate
share of the municipal court budget. In addition to its proportionate share, Menasha also
pays the City of Neenah an annual administrative fee. The administrative fee is reviewed
annually. The City of Neenah has established a Municipal Court fund (a custodial fund)
to account for municipal court activity.
As of December 31, 2025, the Court was in a deficit position and the City of Menasha’s
share of this deficit was $100,775. The City of Menasha paid this deficit in full
subsequently in 2026.
Financial information of the court as of December 31, 2025, is included in the City of
Neenah’s financial statements as supplementary information. Separate financial
statements are not available. The City of Menasha does not have an equity interest in
this organization.

C. Joint Ventures (Continued)
Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue
On January 1, 2003, the City of Neenah and City of Menasha merged their fire
departments. The merged fire department is known as the Neenah-Menasha Fire
Rescue (NMFR). It provides fire and rescue services to the citizens of both communities.
The communities share in the annual operation of the fire department as follows: City of
Menasha – 38.88% and City of Neenah – 61.12%. Annually as part of the budget
process, the joint finance and personnel committee will re-evaluate the cost distribution
formula based on the following five factors: 1) population, 2) equalized value, 3) annual
fire/rescue calls, and 4) square miles. The Joint Fire Commission consists of six
members with three-year staggered terms. Neenah and Menasha each appoint three
members to the commission. The appointees are not elected officials of the
municipalities. The oversight of the day-to-day operations and budgetary matters of the
Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue are conducted by the Joint Fire Finance and Personnel
Committee. The recommendations of the Joint Finance and Personnel Committee shall
be acted upon separately by the common councils of both Neenah and Menasha and
are effective only upon concurrence of both councils. The City of Neenah is responsible
for administering and accounting for all funds received and disbursed. A separate fund
(a custodial fund) has been established by the City of Neenah to account for fire
services. The City accounts for its share of the operations in the general fund. The City
of Menasha does not have an equity interest in this organization.
Financial information related to the Neenah-Menasha Fire Rescue as of December 31,
2025, is included in the City of Neenah’s financial statements as supplementary
information. Separate financial statements are not available.
D. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City.
For the most part, the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these
statements. Governmental activities, which are primarily supported by taxes and
intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which
rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for services.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a
given function are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. 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. Taxes and other items not properly included among program
revenues are reported instead as general revenues.

D. Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements (Continued)
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. Governmental funds include general, special revenue, debt service,
and capital projects funds. Proprietary funds include enterprise and internal service
funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are
reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
The City reports the following major governmental funds:
General Fund – This is the City’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial
resources of the general government, except those accounted for in another fund.
Debt Service Fund – This fund accounts for the resources accumulated and
payments made for principal and interest on long-term general obligation debt of
government funds.
Capital Improvements – This fund accounts for the resources accumulated and
payments made for the acquisition or construction of major capital improvements.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Menasha Utilities Fund – This fund is used to account for the operating activities of
the Menasha Water, Telecommunications and Electric operations.
Sewage Treatment Fund – This fund is used to account for the operating activities of
the Menasha Sewage Treatment operations.
Stormwater Utility Fund – This fund is used to account for the operating activities of
the Menasha Stormwater operations.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Internal service fund accounts for fleet maintenance, information technology,
insurance services and postemployment sick leave provided to other
departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis.
The City accounts for property taxes and special charges collected on behalf of
other governments in a custodial fund.

E. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses
are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants
and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements
imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues
are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as
under accrual accounting. However, debt service principal and interest expenditures,
including lease and subscription liabilities, as well as expenditures related to
compensated absences and claims and judgments, are recorded only when payment is
due. General capital asset acquisitions, including entering into contracts giving the City
the right to use assets, are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of
long-term debt and financing through leases and subscription-based information
technology arrangements are reported as other financing sources.
Revenues susceptible to accrual include intergovernmental grants, intergovernmental
charges for services, public charges for services and interest. Other revenues such as
licenses and permits, fines and forfeits and miscellaneous revenues are recognized
when received in cash or when measurable and available.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the
government-wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments-in-
lieu of taxes and other charges between the City’s water and electric functions and
various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct
costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
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 City’s proprietary funds are charges
to customers for services. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the costs of
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and
expenses.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
F. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources, and Net Position or
Fund Balance
1. Cash and Investments
Cash and investments are combined in the financial statements. Cash deposits
consist of demand and time deposits with financial institutions. Investments are
stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For
purposes of the statement of cash flows, all cash deposits and highly liquid
investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less from
date of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents.
2. Property Taxes
Property taxes consist of taxes on real estate and personal property. They are levied
during December of the prior year and become an enforceable lien on property the
following January 1. Property taxes are payable in various options depending on the
type and amount. Personal property taxes are payable on or before January 31 in
full. Real estate taxes are payable in full by January 31 or in four equal installments
on or before January 31, March 31, May 31, and July 31. Real estate taxes not paid
by July 31 are purchased by the County as part of the August tax settlement.
Delinquent personal property taxes remain the collection responsibility of the City.
The City bills and collects its own property taxes and also levies and collects taxes
for the Menasha Joint School District, Appleton Area School District, Winnebago and
Calumet Counties, and Fox Valley Technical College. Collections and remittances of
taxes for other entities are accounted for in the property tax custodial fund.
3. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded at gross amounts with uncollectible amounts
recognized under the direct write-off method. No allowance for uncollectible accounts
has been provided since it is believed that the amount of such allowance would not
be material to the basic financial statements.
4. Special Assessments
Assessments against property owners for public improvements are generally not
subject to full settlement in the year levied. Special assessments are placed on tax
rolls on an installment basis. Revenue from special assessments recorded in
governmental funds is recognized as collections are made or as current installments
are placed on tax rolls.

5. Loans Receivable
The City has received federal and state grant funds for economic development and
housing rehabilitation loan programs and has passed the funds to various
businesses and individuals in the form of loans. The City records a loan receivable
and expenditure when the loan has been made and the funds disbursed. No
allowance for uncollectible accounts has been provided since it is believed that the
amount of such allowance would not be material to the basic financial statements. In
the governmental funds, the City records a deferred inflow of resources for the net
amount of the receivable. As the loans are repaid, revenue is recognized. Any
unspent loan proceeds are presented as restricted fund balance in the fund financial
statements.
6. Interfund Receivables and Payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual
funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are
classified as “due from other funds” and “due to other funds” in the fund financial
statements.
The amount reported on the statement of net position for internal balances
represents the residual balance outstanding between the governmental and
business-type activities.
7. Prepaid Supplies
Prepaid supplies are recorded at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in,
first-out method. Prepaid supplies consist of expendable supplies held for
consumption. The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual supply
items are consumed rather than when purchased.
Prepaid supplies of governmental funds in the fund financial statements are
classified as nonspendable fund balance to indicate that they do not represent
spendable available financial resources.

8. Prepaid Items
Payments made to vendors that will benefit periods beyond the end of the current
fiscal year are recorded as prepaid items and are accounted for on the consumption
method.
Prepaid items of governmental funds in the fund financial statements are classified
as nonspendable fund balance to indicate that they do not represent spendable
available financial resources.
9. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets,
are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in
the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the City as
assets with an initial, individual cost of $5,000 or higher and an estimated useful life
in excess of a year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at
estimated acquisition value at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the
asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Capital assets of the City are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:
Governmental Business-Type
Assets Activities Activities
Land Improvements 15 -
Buildings and Improvements 30 - 50 25 - 50
Machinery and Equipment 5 - 25 3 - 10
Infrastructure 25 - 100 -
Right-to-Use Lease Asset - Building 5 - 25 -
Right-to-Use Lease Asset - Machinery and Equipment 4 -
Years
Right-to-use lease assets are initially measured at the present value of payments
expected to be made during the lease term, adjusted for lease payments made at or
before the lease commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently,
the lease asset is amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the shorter of
the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset.

9. Capital Assets (Continued)
Subscription assets are initially measured as the sum of the present value of
payments expected to be made during the subscription term, payments associated
with the subscription-based information technology arrangement (SBITA) contract
made to the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the subscription term, when
applicable, and capitalizable implementation costs, less any SBITA vendor incentives
received from the SBITA vendor at the commencement of the SBITA term.
Subscription assets are amortized in a systematic and rational manner over the
shorter of the subscription term or the useful life of the underlying information
technology assets.
10. Compensated Absences
The liability for compensated absences reported in the government-wide and
proprietary fund statements consists of leave that has not been used that is
attributable to services already rendered, accumulates and is more likely than not to
be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means. The
liability also includes amounts for leave that has been used for time off but has not
yet been paid in cash or settled through noncash means and certain other types of
leave.
11. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of net position includes a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. Deferred outflows of resources represent a
consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be
recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The
category of deferred outflow of resources reported in the statement of net position is
related to pensions and other postemployment benefits. Deferred outflows on
pension and other postemployment benefits are more fully discussed in Note 3.H.
and 3.J.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position and the governmental funds
balance sheet includes a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. Deferred
inflows of resources represent an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that
time. In the government-wide financial statements. The deferred inflows of resources
reported on the statement of net position relate to subsequent year property taxes,
pension and other postemployment benefits, which are more fully discussed in Note
3.H. and 3.J. The statement of net position and the governmental funds balance
sheet also report a deferred inflow of resources related to leases. The lease related
deferred inflow of resources is recorded in an amount equal to the corresponding
lease receivable plus any payments received at or before the start of the lease term
that relates to future periods, less any lease incentives paid to, or on behalf of the
lessee at or before the commencement of the lease term. The inflow of resources is
recognized in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease.

11. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources (Continued)
Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, deferred inflows of resources also
include revenues not collected within the availability period after the fiscal year-end.
The City has reported deferred inflows of resources related to unavailable revenues
for property taxes, grants, loan receivables, and special assessments. These
amounts are deferred and will be recognized as an inflow of resources in the period
that amounts become available.
12. Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary funds in the fund
financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as
liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or
proprietary fund statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are
deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of
the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as
incurred.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds recognize bond premiums and
discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt
issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
13. 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:
New Pension Liability (Asset),
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related
to Pensions,
Pension Expense (Revenue).
Information about the fiduciary new position of the WRS and additions to/deduction
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.

15. Fund Balance and Net Position
Governmental Fund Financial Statements
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the
nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The
following classifications describe the relative strength of the spending constraints
placed on the purposes for which resources can be used:
Nonspendable Fund Balance – Amounts that are not in spendable form (such as
inventory, prepaid items, or long-term receivables) or are legally or contractually
required to remain intact.
Restricted Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes by
external parties (such as grantor or bondholders), through constitutional
provisions, or by enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes
by action of the City Council. These constraints can only be removed or changed
by the City Council using the same action that was used to create them.
Assigned Fund Balance – Amounts that are constrained for specific purposes by
action of City management. Residual amounts in any governmental fund, other
than the General Fund, are also reported as assigned.
Unassigned Fund Balance – Amounts that are available for any purpose. Positive
unassigned amounts are only reported in the General Fund.
The City has not adopted a fund balance spend-down policy regarding the order in
which fund balance will be utilized. When a policy does not specify the spend-down
policy, GASB Statement No. 54 indicates that restricted funds would be spent first,
followed by committed funds, and then assigned funds. Unassigned funds would be
spent last.
Government-Wide and Proprietary Fund Statements
Net position is classified and displayed in three components:
Net Investment in Capital Assets – Amount of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation or amortization, and capital related deferred outflows of resources,
less outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings
that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those
assets and any capital related deferred inflows of resources.

Restricted Net Position – Amount of net position that is subject to restrictions that
are imposed 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.
Unrestricted Net Position – Net position that is neither classified as restricted nor
as net investment in capital assets.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s
policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are
needed.
G. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H. Prior Year Information
Comparative amounts for the prior year have been presented in the basic financial
statements to provide an understanding of changes in the City’s financial position and
operations. The comparative amounts may be summarized in total and not at the level of
detail required for a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the City’s
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, from which the summarized
information was derived.

NOTE 2 STEWARDSHIP AND COMPLIANCE
A. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the
basic financial statements:
1. During October, City management submits to the City Council a proposed operating
budget for the calendar year commencing the following January 1. The operating
budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. After
submission to the governing body, public hearings are held to obtain taxpayer
comments. Following the public hearings, the proposed budget, including authorized
additions and deletions, is legally enacted by City Council action.
2. Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for all governmental funds. Budget is
defined as the originally approved budget plus or minus approved amendments.
Individual amendments throughout the year were not material in relation to the
original budget. Budget appropriations not expended during the year are closed to
fund balance unless authorized by the governing body to be forwarded into the
succeeding year’s budget.
3. During the year, formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control
device for the governmental funds adopting a budget.
4. The legal level of budgetary control is by activity or department. Expenditures may
not exceed appropriations provided in detailed budget accounts maintained for each
activity or department of the City. Amendments to the budget during the year require
initial approval by management and are subsequently authorized by the City Council.
Management does not have authority to amend activity or department budget
accounts.
5. Encumbrance accounting is not used by the City to record commitments related to
unperformed contracts for goods or services.
The City did not have any material violation of legal or contractual provisions for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The City anticipates funding the Marina Operations deficit from future revenues of the
fund. The City anticipates funding the Capital Improvements deficit with debt proceeds
in subsequent year. Tax Incremental District funds are anticipated to be funded with
future incremental taxes levied over the life of the district, which is typically 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. Other fund deficits
are anticipated to be funded with special assessments, charges for services, or general
tax revenues.
D. Property Tax Levy Limit
Wisconsin state statutes provide for a limit on the property tax levies for all Wisconsin
cities, villages, towns and counties. For the 2025 and 2026 budget years, Wisconsin
Statutes limit the increase in the maximum allowable tax levy to the change in the City’s
January 1 equalized value as a result of net new construction. The actual limit for the
City for the 2025 budget was 1.774%. The actual limit for the City for the 2026 budget
was 1.392%. Debt service for debt authorized after July 1, 2005 is exempt from the levy
limit. In addition, Wisconsin statutes allow the limit to be adjusted for the increase in debt
service authorized prior to July 1, 2005 and in certain other situations.

Beneficial Interest in Assets Held by the Community Foundation
The City entered into an agreement with the Community Foundation for the Fox Valley
Region, Inc. (the Foundation) to establish the General Trust Fund and the Memorial
Trust Funds of the Elisha D. Smith Public Library Endowment. The funds are to be used
for support of the City’s library operations. The Foundation retains these funds as its
property in a corporate capacity, not a trust capacity, while the City reports its interest in
the assets held by the Foundation at fair value. These funds are classified as Level 3 as
they are within the pooled investments of the Foundation and no availability of pricing or
estimated recent trade prices of the investments of the pool. The balance in these funds
as of December 31, 2025, is $424,574. Since the Foundation retains ultimate authority
and control over the fund, additional disclosures of investment risks are not available.
Deposits and investments of the City are subject to various risks. Presented below is a
discussion of the City’s deposits and investments and the related risks.
Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository
financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be
able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The
custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the
counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to
recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of
another party. Wisconsin statutes require repurchase agreements to be fully
collateralized by bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government or
its instrumentalities. The City does not have an additional custodial credit policy.
Deposits with financial institutions within the state of Wisconsin are insured by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the amount of $250,000 for the
combined amount of all time and savings deposits and $250,000 for interest-bearing and
noninterest-bearing demand deposits per official custodian per insured depository
institution. Deposits with financial institutions located outside the state of Wisconsin are
insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for the combined amount of all deposit
accounts per official custodian per depository institution. Deposits with credit unions are
insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) in the amount of
$250,000 per credit union member. Also, the State of Wisconsin has a State Guarantee
Fund which provides a maximum of $1,000,000 per public depository above the amount
provided by an agency of the U.S. Government. However, due to the relatively small size
of the State Guarantee Fund in relation to the Fund’s total coverage, total recovery of
insured losses may not be available. This coverage has been considered in determining
custodial credit risk.
As of December 31, 2025, none of the City’s deposits with financial institutions were in
excess of federal and state depository insurance limits.

Credit Risk
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wisconsin statutes limit investment
in securities to the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. Presented below is the actual rating as of the year-end for each
investment type.

Totals 3,456,687$ 624,412$ 518,029$ 1,727,591$ 586,655$
Concentration of Credit Risk
At December 31, 2025, the City had no investments in any one issuer (other than U.S.
Treasury securities, mutual funds, and external investment pools) that represent 5% or
more of total City investments.
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates.
Information about the sensitivity of the fair values of the City’s investments to market
interest rate fluctuations is provided by the following table that shows the distribution of
the City’s investments by maturity:

Investment in Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool
The City has investments in the Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool of
$4,504,515 at year-end. The Wisconsin local government investment pool (LGIP) is part
of the State Investment Fund (SIF), and is managed by the State of Wisconsin
Investment Board. The SIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, but operates under the statutory authority of Wisconsin Chapter 25. The
SIF reports the fair value of its underlying assets annually. Participants in the LGIP have
the right to withdraw their funds in total on one day’s notice. At December 31, 2025, the
fair value of the Village’s share of the LGIP’s assets was substantially equal to the
carrying value.
Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation
to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wisconsin statutes limit investments
in securities to the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating
organizations. The Village does not have an additional credit risk policy. The Village’s
investment in the Wisconsin local government investment pool is not rated.
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the
fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the
greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The Village
does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of
managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. As of
December 31, 2025 the Wisconsin local government investment pool had a weighted
average maturity of 13 days.

that “capital assets used in governmental funds are not current financial resources and,
therefore, are not reported in the funds.” The detail of this difference is as follows:

The above interfund receivables and payable were recorded to eliminate deficit cash
balances in the funds. The amount payable and reported as advance in the financial
statements of the Marina Operations fund relate to a working capital loan made. None of
the balance is scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year. The general fund,
strong neighborhoods program, storm water and sewage treatment are advancing funds
to Tax Incremental District Nos. 7, 11, 12 and 13. The amount advanced is determined
by the deficiency of revenues over expenditures and other financing sources since the
district’s inception. No repayment schedule has been established. The City anticipates
that future cash inflows will be sufficient to offset the current deficit cash balances.

I. Pension Plan
Plan Description
The Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined
benefit pension plan. WRS benefits and other plan provisions are established by
Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Benefit terms may only be modified by the
legislature. The retirement system is administered by the Wisconsin Department of
Employee Trust Funds (ETF). The system provides coverage to all eligible State of
Wisconsin, local government and other public employees. All employees, initially
employed by a participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, expected to work at
least 1200 hours a year (880 hours for teachers and school district educational support
employees) and expected to be employed for at least one year from employee’s date of
hire are eligible to participate in the WRS.
ETF issues a standalone Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which can be found
at http://etf.wi.gov/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-and-statements. Additionally,
ETF issued a standalone Wisconsin Retirement System Financial Report, which can
also be found using the link above.
Vesting
For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990, and no longer
actively employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years is
required for eligibility for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990 and
on or after April 24, 1998, and prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested. Participants
who initially became WRS eligible on or after July 1, 2011, must have five years of
creditable service to be vested.
Benefits Provided
Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupations and 62 for elected
officials and executive service retirement plan participants, if hired on or before
December 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 earnings periods.
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 or after age 55 (50 for protective occupations) and
receive an actuarially reduced benefit. Participants terminating covered employment plus
interest as a separation benefit or leave contributions on deposit and defer application
until eligible to receive a retirement benefit.
The WRS also provides death and disability benefits for employees.

Postretirement Adjustments
The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity payments from the
retirement system based on annual investment performance in accordance with
s. 40.27, Wis. Stat. An increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when
investment gains (losses), together with other actuarial experience factors, create a
surplus (shortfall) in the reserves, as determined by the system’s consulting actuary.
Annuity increases are not based on cost of living or other similar factors. For Core
annuities, decreases may be applied only to previously granted increases. By law, Core
annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the original, guaranteed amount (the
floor) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity adjustments granted during
recent years are as follows:
Core Fund Variable Fund
Year Adjustment % Adjustment %
2015 2.9 2
2016 0.5 -5
2017 2.0 4

2023 1.6 -21
2024 3.6 15
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 ending December 31, 2025, the WRS recognized $1,595,367
in contributions from the City.

Pension Assets, Liabilities, Pension Expense (Revenue), and Deferred Outflows of
Resources and deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At December 31, 2025, the City reported a liability of $1,752,174 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 City’s proportion of
the net pension liability was based on the City’s share of contributions to the pension
plan relative to the contributions of all participating employers. At December 31, 2024,
the City’s proportion was 0.10663408%, which was a decrease of 0.00091977% from its
proportion measured as of December 31, 2023.

Actuarial Assumptions (Continued)
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 the 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.
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:
Long-Term Long-Term

Asset Allocations are managed within established ranges. Target percentages may differ
from actual monthly allocations.
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%.

H. Pension Plan (Continued)
Actuarial Assumptions (Continued)
Single Discount Rate – A single discount rate of 6.80% was used to measure the total
pension liability for the current and prior year. The discount rate is based on the
expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.80% 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 6.80% expected rate of return implies that a dividend of
approximately 1.70% will always be paid after reflecting known changes in the Market
Recognition Account. 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 long-term expected 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 City’s Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability (Asset) to
Changes in the Discount Rate – The following presents the City’s proportionate share of
the net pension liability (asset) calculated using the discount rate of 6.80%, as well as
what the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset) would be if it were

I. Deferred Compensation Plans
The City offers its employees an option between two deferred compensation plans
created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plans, available to
all City employees, permits them to defer a portion of their salary until future years. The
deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death,
or unforeseeable emergency. Employees can elect to contribute to the plan by selecting
a percentage of their salary or selecting a dollar amount. Annual amounts to be
contributed may not exceed IRS limits. The City contributes a maximum of $30 per
month for eligible employees. Total contributions made by the City were $33,186 for the

Contributions
The Group Insurance Board approves contribution rates annually, based on
recommendations from the insurance carrier. Recommended rates are based on an
annual valuation, taking into consideration an estimate of the present value of future
benefits and the present value of future contributions. A portion of employer
contributions made during a member’s working lifetime funds a post-retirement
benefit.
Employers are required to pay the following contributions based on member
contributions for active members to provide them with Basic Coverage after age 65.
There are no employer contributions required for pre-age 65 annuitant coverage. If a
member retires prior to age 65, they must continue paying the member premiums
until age 65 to be eligible for the benefit after age 65.
Contribution rates as of December 31, 2025, are:
Coverage Type Employer Contribution
50% Postretirement Coverage 40% of Member Contribution
25% Postretirement Coverage 20% of Member Contribution
Member contributions are based upon nine age bands through age 69 and an
additional eight age bands for those age 70 and over. Participating members must
pay monthly contribution rates per $1,000 of coverage until the age of 65 (age 70 if
active). The member contribution rates in effect for the year ended December 31,
2024, are listed below:

OPEB Liabilities, OPEB Expense (Revenue) and Deferred Outflows of Resources
and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to OPEB
At December 31, 2025, the City reported a liability of $837,012 for its proportionate
share of the net OPEB liability (asset). The net OPEB liability was measured as of
December 31, 2024, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate the net OPEB
liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2024 rolled forward
to December 31, 2024. No material changes in assumptions or benefits terms
occurred between the actuarial valuation date and the measurement date. The City’s
proportion of the net OPEB liability was based on the City’s share of contributions to
the OPEB plan relative to the contributions of all participating employers. At
December 31, 2024, the City’s proportion was 0.21394600%, which was a decrease
of 0.00102100% from its proportion measured as of December 31, 2023.

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

U.S. Mortgages Bloomberg US 60% 2.71%
Inflation 2.30%
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return 4.25%
The long-term expected rate of return remained unchanged from in the prior year at
4.25%. The long-term expected rate of return is determined by adding expected
inflation to expected long-term real returns and reflecting expected volatility and
correlation. The expected inflation rate remained unchanged from the prior year at
2.30%.
Single Discount Rate – A single discount rate of 4.09% was used to measure the
total OPEB liability for the current year, as opposed to a discount rate of 3.32% for
the prior year. The change in the discount rate was primarily caused by the increase
in the municipal bond rate from 3.26% as of December 31, 2023 to 4.08% as of
December 31, 2024. The Plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be insufficient
to make all projected future benefit payments of current active and inactive
members. Therefore, the discount rate for calculating the total OPEB liability is equal
to the single equivalent rate that results in the same actuarial present value as the
long-term expected rate of return applied to benefit payments, to the extent that the
plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be sufficient to make projected benefit
payments, and the municipal bond rate applied to benefit payment to the extent that
the plan’s fiduciary net position is projected to be insufficient. The plan’s fiduciary net
position was projected to be available to make projected future benefit payments of
current plan members through December 31, 2037.

was closed in 2025 and final accounting closure to be complete in 2026.
B. Tax Abatements
The City has created tax incremental financing districts (the Districts) in accordance with
Wisconsin State Statute 66.1105, Tax Increment Law. As part of the project plan for the
Districts, the City entered into agreements with developers for a creation of tax base
within the Districts. The agreements require the City to make annual repayments of
property taxes collected within the Districts to the developers, based upon the terms of
the agreements. As tax abatements, those developer payments and the related property
tax revenues are not reported as revenues or expenditures in the financial statements.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the City abated property taxes totaling
$899,957 under this program, which included the following tax abatement agreements:
A property tax abatement of $563,040 to a developer within Tax Incremental
District No. 13.
A property tax abatement of $336,916 to a developer within Tax Incremental
District No. 12.

C. Risk Management
The Utilities are part of the City of Menasha’s self-funded insurance program with claims
processed by the City’s and Utility’s of Mutual Insurance Company (CVMIC) on behalf of
the City. CVMIC is a municipal insurance company established on September 19, 1987
under Section 611.23 of the Wisconsin Statutes. CVMIC provides liability insurance
coverage above the self-insured limit to cities and utilities which make up the
membership.
The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft, damage or destruction
of assets; errors or omissions; injuries to employees; or acts of God. The City has
chosen to retain a portion of the risks through self-insurance programs and has also
purchased insurance to transfer other risks to outside parties. Payments of premiums for
these policies are recorded as expenditures or expenses in various funds of the City.
Insurance settlements have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the past three
years nor has there been any significant reduction in insurance coverage compared to
the prior year. The amount of actual settlements has not exceeded the insurance
coverage amounts in any of the three most recent years. A description of the City's risk
management programs follows.
Property and Liability Insurance
During 1987, the City, together with certain other units of government within the state of
Wisconsin, created the Cities and Villages Mutual Insurance Company (CVMIC), a joint
venture, to provide liability insurance services to its members. The City is partially self-
insured for liability insurance and pays premiums to CVMIC for its excess liability
insurance coverage. The actuary for CVMIC determines premium charges to its
members required to pay the expected claims and loss adjustment expenses. CVMIC's
ongoing operational expenses, other than loss adjustment expenses, are apportioned
pro rata to each member. CVMIC provides general liability, police and nurses
professional liability, public official’s liability and vehicle liability coverage for the City.
The City's self-insured retention limit is $25,000 for each occurrence with a maximum
limit of $100,000 annually. Premiums paid to CVMIC for insurance coverage are
recorded in a self-insurance internal service fund. The self-insurance internal service
fund charges various City departments and operations for their portion of insurance
coverage for the year.

Dental Self-Insurance Fund
City employees, COBRA employees, retirees and employee dependents are eligible for
dental benefits from a dental insurance internal service fund. Funding is provided by
charges to City departments, employees and retirees. Fund expenses consist of
payments to a third-party administrator for dental claims and administrative fees. The
claims liability of $0 reported in the fund at December 31, 2025, is based on the
requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be
reported if information prior to the issuance of the basic financial statements indicates
that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the basic financial
statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. On December 31,
2025, the dental insurance internal service fund has available $173,567 for future
unreported claims. Changes in the fund's claims liability amount for 2024 and 2025, are
as follows:

E. WPPI Energy Contract – Menasha Utilities
The Utilities purchase their electric requirements from WPPI Energy (WPPI). WPPI is a
municipal electric company and political subdivision of the state of Wisconsin created by
contract by its members on September 5, 1980 pursuant to the Municipal Electric
Company Act, Sec. 66.0825 of the Wisconsin Statutes (the Act). WPPI’s purposes
include providing an adequate, economical, and reliable supply of electric energy to its
members.
The Utilities are one of 51 members of WPPI located throughout the States of
Wisconsin, Michigan, and Iowa. On December 31, 1989, each of WPPI’s members,
including the City of Menasha, commenced purchasing electric services from WPPI
under a new Long-term Power Supply Contract for Participating Members (the Long-
term Contract) under which WPPI has agreed to sell and deliver to each member, and
each member has agreed to take and pay for, the electric power and energy
requirements to the members for an initial 35-year term. The contract was amended
during 2016 to extend the term of the contract through 2055.
Under the Long-term Contract, the Utilities and other members of WPPI are required to
pay for all power and energy requirements supplied or made available by WPPI at rates
sufficient to cover all of WPPI’s revenue requirements which include power supply costs,
administrative expenses, and debt service on outstanding bonds. WPPI’s subsequent
year’s rates and operating budget are approved annually by its board of directors, which
consists of representatives from each member municipality. The Utilities have agreed to
charge rates to retail ratepayers of its electric system sufficient to meet its obligations to
WPPI. The Long-term Contract provides that all payments to WPPI under the Contract
constitute operating expenses of the Utilities’ electric system payable from any operating
and maintenance fund established by the Utilities.

E. WPPI Energy Contract (Continued)
The Long-term Contract may be terminated by either party upon five years prior written
notice effective at the end of the initial 35-year term, or at any time thereafter, provided
that no WPPI bonds are outstanding at the time of the proposed termination and certain
other contract provisions are met.
The electric operation purchases power through WPPI Energy for distribution to its
customers. Total purchases under this arrangement amounted to approximately $33.04
million in 2025.
F. Contingencies
1. The City's valuation and taxing power secure a portion of the outstanding long-term
debt of the Neenah-Menasha Sewerage Commission, a joint venture created by the
City and six other municipalities. The City would be liable in the unlikely event that
the Commission defaulted on the debt.
2. The City participates in a number of federal and state assisted grant programs.
These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their
representatives. Accordingly, the City's compliance with applicable grant
requirements will be established at some future date. The amount, if any, of
expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be
determined at this time although the City expects such amounts, if any, to be
immaterial.
3. From time to time, the City is party to other various pending claims and legal
proceedings. Although the outcome of such matters cannot be forecast with
certainty, it is the opinion of management and the City attorney that the likelihood is
remote that any such claims or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on
the City's financial position or results of operations except as indicated below.
G. Construction Commitments
The City has active construction projects as of December 31, 2025. W ork has been
completed on these projects but not yet paid for (including contract retainage) is
reflected in accounts payable and expenditures. The City has approximately $681,000
in open contracts at year end.
H. Subsequent Program Closure
In 2026, the City was notified by the Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) that
their request to discontinue the Community Block Grant Program Revolving Loan
Housing Program was accepted. The program is being defederalized and will no longer
be supported through future grants. I n May 2026, the City returned $389,241 in
restricted cash to DOA. The City also has approximately $663,741 in outstanding loan
receivables related to this program and is required to submit future collections on those
receivables to DOA yearly.

I. Enterprise Funds – Significant Customers
During 2025, the City’s electric utility billed one customer $16,065,109, and one
customer $4,987,732. This represents 41% and 13% of electric utility operating revenue,
respectively. In addition, the water utility billed one customer $1,035,913. Which
represents 15% of water utility operating revenue, respectively. No other utility customer
accounted for more than 10% of operating revenue.
J. CVMIC
CVMIC is a municipal mutual insurance company established on September 14, 1987
under Section 611.23 of the Wisconsin Statutes. CVMIC provides liability insurance
coverage to the cities and villages which make up the membership of the WMIC that was
established under Section 66.30 of the Wisconsin Statutes governing intergovernmental
cooperation commissions.
CVMIC insures the municipalities up to $5,000,000 per occurrence above the self-
insured retention amount selected by each individual city or village. CVMIC also
provides excess insurance of $5,000,000 over the CVMIC layer thru a group purchase
program paid proportionately by members for a total limit of $10,000,000 per occurrence.
Members pay premiums based on their self-insured retention amount, claims experience
and population.
Management of CVMIC and WMIC consists of a board of directors and officers elected
by the membership from each class of participants based on population. The board of
directors hires the company executive director who in turn hires the management staff of
CVMIC. The City does not exercise any control over the activities of CVMIC and WMIC
beyond the election of the officer and board.
Financial statements of CVMIC can be obtained directly from CVMIC’s offices. The
City’s Mutual Member Participation Calculation is calculated at 1.192%. This calculation
is based on premiums, claims and self-insured retention of the city as compared to the
entire membership. Upon dissolution, the City would be entitled to a lump sum payment
from CVMIC that may vary significantly from the amount of its deposit referred to above,
based on the then financial condition of CVMIC. WMIC is not required to have an audit.
