Pentecostals of the Fox Cities, located at 1445 Midway Road.
b) Village Manager Jeffrey Sturgell – July 27, 2026 Storm Recovery Report
Manager Sturgell provided an update on storm recovery efforts since the last meeting.
He reported that water utility facilities on the east side of both Fox Crossing and the City of Menasha were
Village of Fox Crossing Village Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes August 10, 2026
Page 3 of 4
damaged during the storm. Utilities recharged the east-side water system on Thursday, July 30, restoring service
to all affected east-side residents.
Manager Sturgell reviewed a damage map showing impacted areas and their severity. He discussed debris
collection already completed and outlined the plan for continued cleanup in the affected neighborhoods.
He also reviewed recent garbage collection efforts, noting that Harter’s worked with the Village to ensure garbage
was picked up on Thursday after the storm. Additional assistance was provided later that week, with trucks and
crews from other communities coming into Menasha and Fox Crossing to collect trash missed earlier due to storm
impacts.
Manager Sturgell noted that the National Guard’s response concluded yesterday and provided an update on
FEMA’s involvement. The County completed its FEMA -related damage assessments, and the Village’s Building
Department has finished residential assessments and is moving on to commercial properties. The process for
state reimbursement has begun, with Director Searl coordinating the application.
He thanked the many volunteers who assisted in the response but noted that spontaneous volunteering has
ended. Residents wishing to help may still register through a nonprofit organization by calling 211. He also shared
that United Way has established a Tornado Relief Fund.
He reviewed impacts on the upcoming election, including the emergency combination of polling places on the
east side of the Village.
Manager Sturgell provided an update on the Community Center damage, noting Director Geiser’s efforts to
recover equipment and supplies from the building. Chief Sweeney reported on the damaged fire station, explaining
that the insurance company inspected bo th the Community Center and the fire station, approving certain items
for removal while requiring others to remain. A structural engineer also assessed the building. All three fire trucks
have been removed, along with any salvageable equipment, and the insurance company will evaluate the trucks
for damage. A temporary fire station is operating on the east side at one of the utility buildings, and the Village is
currently borrowing fire trucks from neighboring communities.
Manager Sturgell also reviewed the town hall hosted by the City of Menasha on August 6, which provided an
opportunity for residents to ask questions and speak with staff. The majority of attendees were City of Menasha
residents.
He noted that the curfew and burn ban remain in effect, though the curfew may be lifted later this week. Director
Geiser will continue notifying residents of changes to recreation programs now that the Community Center is no
longer available.
Manager Sturgell thanked all staff for their efforts and involvement throughout the storm response.
Trustee Koeppe asked about sewer lift stations damage. Director Hoechst noted that both sides of the Village
were without power after the storm, with power to the west side restored via generator. He credited the Public
Works crew for their hard work and dedication.
Director Hoechst also provided an update on the Valley Road construction project, noting the project is
approximately one week behind schedule due to the storm.
President Youngquist thanked Manager Sturgell for keeping the Board informed and for his continued hard work.
Trustee Hanson also thanked Village staff and neighboring communities for their assistance.

a) 260824-1 Certified Survey Map – 803 & 825 Welcome Road
Motion: Trustee Van Dyke, seconded by Trustee Koeppe, to approve the Certified Survey Map for 803 & 825
Welcome Road, as presented.
Discussion: Director Dearborn provided an overview of the Certified Survey Map and noted that the Planning
Commission had expressed some concern regarding the extension of the public utility easement but ultimately
approved it. Trustee Hanson asked Director Dearborn a bout fire truck access and whether the Village would
be responsible for plowing the roadway. Director Dearborn stated that the easement is large enough to
accommodate a fire truck and that, because the roadway is private, maintenance responsibilities , including
plowing, remain with the property owners.

Concrete Work Program to include the Jacobsen Road Overpass Stormwater/Wall Reconstruction Project, as
presented.
Discussion: Director Hoechst provided an overview of the project and answered questions from the Board.
He explained that the bids for the 2026 Concrete Work Program came in under budget, allowing additional
work to be completed while remaining within the 15% contract limit required by state statute. He also addressed
the retaining wall, noting that DOT requested it not be reattached to the bridge structure. The Village’s engineer
determined that the wall could stand independently with no design changes or additional costs.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.

8. Reports
a) Fire Chief Todd Sweeney – Fire Safety Day will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00
p.m. at Fire Station #40, 1326 Cold Spring Road
Chief Sweeney announced that Fire Safety Day will be held on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 10:00 a.m.
to 2:00 p.m. at Fire Station #40, 1326 Cold Spring Road. He encouraged residents and the public to attend.
b) Community Development Director George Dearborn – Village Zoning Code Update
Director Dearborn provided an update on the Village Zoning Code Update following the informational meeting
held the previous week. He explained that the current zoning code was adopted from Winnebago County in 2013
and has been amended over time, but the V illage is seeking a more flexible and user -friendly code. The update
process began in May with a review of the existing code. Director Dearborn noted that key areas being considered
include housing affordability, lot sizes and setbacks, and other zoning re gulations, while also addressing
community concerns such as noise, pollution, traffic, and data centers. He emphasized the importance of public
input and the goal of protecting the quality of life for Village residents. Additional information is available on the
Village website. The update is expected to be a lengthy process, with Village Board adoption anticipated in April
2027.
c) Village Manager Jeffrey Sturgell – July 27, 2026 Storm Recovery Report
Village Manager Jeffrey Sturgell provided an update on the Village’s storm recovery efforts. He discussed ending
construction debris collection on September 4, 2026, and proposed the same date for ending vegetation debris
collection. He requested input fro m the Village Board regarding the proposed timeline, noting that much of the
larger debris had been collected and that September 4 coincided with the end of the September brush collection
week.
Manager Sturgell responded to questions regarding the potential closure of Wittmann Park as a debris drop -off
site. He noted concerns regarding illegal dumping and the need to clean up debris that had accumulated at the
site since the storm. Following the storm recovery period, residents would return to the Village’s normal brush
collection procedures or could bring eligible debris to the drop-off site at the Municipal Complex.
The Board discussed properties where larger trees had not yet been removed. Manager Sturgell noted that these
trees were located on private property and that continued Village collection could result in costs being borne by
Village taxpayers. Director Sear l explained that FEMA reimbursement generally focuses on the initial debris
removal necessary to clear roadways following a storm. Debris placed at the curb from subsequent private
property cleanup may not qualify for reimbursement and could therefore become a Village expense.
Director Hoechst noted that the September chipping program for routes outside of the Thursday garbage routes
would continue on a request-only basis. The Thursday route would continue to focus on the heavily affected areas
on the east side of the Village.
Manager Sturgell also discussed the challenges associated with larger trees. He explained that many of the trees
were being removed by private contractors who were leaving the resulting debris at the curb rather than disposing
of it themselves. Superintendent Bauer reported that the Village currently had only two contractors assisting with
debris removal. He noted that the chipping program would be starting soon, followed by the leaf collection program
in October, which would further strain Village staffing and resources. He also noted that many of the trees currently
Village of Fox Crossing Village Board of Trustees Meeting Minutes August 24, 2026
Page 4 of 6
being encountered were of a substantial diameter and would require contractor disposal. The size of some of the
debris exceeded the Village’s chipping requirements and, under Village policy, should be taken directly to the
landfill.
The Board discussed the continued use of the tub grinder and the costs associated with processing debris brought
to the curb or to Village drop-off sites. Director Hoechst explained that the Village would eventually transition back
to its normal chipping and brush collection operations. He noted that outside contractors would likely continue to
be needed during the transition, as Village staff would not be able to manage the volume of debris currently
accumulated at Wittmann Park.
Following discussion, the Board agreed to extend the debris collection deadline to September 11, 2026, to provide
residents additional time to place eligible brush and debris at the curb. It was understood that private contractors
would remain responsible for properly disposing of debris generated from their tree-removal work. The Board also
agreed that Wittmann Park would close as a storm debris drop-off site on September 11, 2026, and that gardeners
would thereafter be allowed access to the park to harvest their gardens.
The Board then discussed the Village’s water supply following the storm damage. As previously discussed,
approximately 50% of the east -side water supply is currently being provided by the City of Neenah through the
City of Menasha’s water system. This arrangement was not the original intent of the system and is not considered
a desirable long-term solution. Staff is exploring options to provide a more reliable water supply while the Menasha
water treatment plant is repaired, which could take several months or potentially close to a year.
Director Hoechst reported that he has been in discussions with the City of Appleton regarding an emergency
connection to Appleton’s water system and the possibility of establishing the connection as a permanent backup
source. He answered questions from the Board regarding the potential impact on Village residents’ water rates
and the effect of purchasing water from Appleton on Menasha Utilities. He explained that there would be no
anticipated increase in water rates for Village residents as a result of the proposed backup connection. A water
rate would be established with Appleton based on the rates charged to its other customers and is expected to be
less than the current cost of purchasing water from Menasha Utilities.
Director Hoechst noted that making Appleton the Village’s permanent primary water supplier could have a
significant financial impact on Menasha Utilities, as the Village is its largest customer. He stated that the
Commission may not support a permanent change in the Village’s water supply arrangement. The current
proposal is to establish a temporary connection to Appleton while the Menasha system is repaired, with the intent
to return to Menasha as the Village’s pri mary water supplier once the system is operational. The Village would
also seek an agreement with Appleton to maintain the connection as a backup source for future emergencies.
Director Hoechst explained that the existing agreement between the City of Neenah and Menasha Utilities
provides that if the valve is opened to allow Menasha to receive water from Neenah, Menasha would close its
valve supplying water to the Village. Due to the tornado and the emergency circumstances affecting multiple
communities, the current arrangement has been allowed to continue. However, concerns remain regarding the
reliability of the current configuration, particularly in the event of a water main break within the Menasha system.
Trustees discussed whether the Village should engage in discussions with the PFC regarding a long-term water
supply arrangement. The possibility of Menasha rebuilding its system to serve only its own residents was also
discussed.
Director Hoechst emphasized that the immediate priority is establishing a connection to the City of Appleton as a
backup water source as soon as possible, while ensuring that the connection is designed and completed efficiently
and properly.

Additionally, Manager Sturgell reviewed that the non-profits are now conducting any volunteering in storm
cleanups and donations. He also stated that staff is still figuring out how any money that has been donated to the
communities is being disbursed. And anyone that feels they still need help with resources can reach out to 211.
The burn ban and curfew bans have been lifted.
The Board next discussed the Community Center and Fire Station #41, which were damaged or destroyed in the
tornado. The fire trucks located at the station are currently being assessed for damage, and the fire station bay
has been cleared. The Village continues to use a fire truck borrowed from Grand Chute, which is stationed at Fire
Station #40 and is designated for structure fire response. The Village is also using a truck borrowed from Pierce
Manufacturing, which is currently located at the former wastewater facility on Airport Road.
The Village is awaiting the insurance company’s assessment of the building. Staff reported that the fire station
portion is considered a complete loss, while there is a possibility that portions of the Community Center structure,
including some of the walls, may remain viable. The Village plans to retain an independent professional to conduct
a second assessment of the damaged structures.
Staff advised the Board that future decisions will need to be made regarding the Community Center and Fire
Station #41, including whether to rebuild the facilities as they previously existed or consider modifications to the
layout and use of the property. Potential changes could include expanding or relocating portions of the Community
Center to the west side. Similar discussions will be necessary regarding Palisades Park, which was also destroyed
in the tornado. Staff encouraged the Board to begin considering whether the park should be restored to its previous
configuration or whether the Village should use the opportunity to develop a different design.
Staff emphasized that decisions regarding the damaged facilities will need to be addressed in a timely manner
and encouraged Board members to submit questions and ideas so staff can begin gathering information and
developing options.
Director Searl reported that the Village is still awaiting additional information and recommendations from the
insurance company. He noted that the Board can begin discussing potential options before final insurance figures
are available, although the absence of those figures may make the process more difficult. Village engineers could
also develop preliminary cost estimates to assist the Board in evaluating potential options.
The Board discussed insurance coverage and the value of the damaged buildings. Regarding the fire trucks,
Director Searl explained that the Village’s insurance provides full replacement cost coverage for public safety
vehicles, rather than coverage based solely on the original purchase price or repair cost.
Staff reviewed the costs and estimates submitted to FEMA, as well as the Village’s Committed Emergency Fund,
which currently has approximately $3.02 million available to help offset storm -related damage and recovery
expenses. Manager Sturgell reported that a budget amendment would be presented to the Board at the
September 14, 2026 meeting to provide funding for storm recovery expenses and ensure that the related
expenditures are properly reflected in the Village budget.
Director Searl noted that the Committed Emergency Fund would provide sufficient resources to cover expenses
not reimbursed through insurance or federal or state disaster assistance. Additional financial planning will be
addressed during upcoming budget workshop meetings.
Director Searl also reviewed current insurance claims and coverage. Insurance adjusters have inspected the
affected areas, and claims have been opened for various storm-related expenses, including temporary fencing for
security, providing a second fire truck on the east side, and relocating recreation programs to other facilities. The
Village will also submit claims for lost revenues resulting from the storm.

Page 6 of 6
State disaster funding is currently on hold while the extent of federal assistance is determined. Staff has developed
preliminary estimates but is awaiting additional information regarding FEMA reimbursement. FEMA is continuing
to gather damage information and cost estimates and will make a recommendation regarding federal assistance.
If federal assistance is approved, the Village will be able to submit an application, after which an agent will be
assigned to review the Village’s documentation. Staff noted that this process could take several months, and the
Village will utilize the Committed Emergency Fund in the interim.
Staff is also exploring other potential funding sources, including Department of Natural Resources (DNR) grants
for tree replacement and other available funding opportunities, to assist with the Village’s storm recovery costs.
The Board agreed to schedule a Board workshop for Monday, August 31, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. to further discuss
the Village’s water supply, Palisades Park, and the Community Center and Fire Station #41.

Public Attendance: No individuals were present.
3. Open Session
Discussion Regarding the July 27, 2026 Tornado Response and Recovery Efforts. Discussion regarding the
future of the rebuild/relocation of Fire Station #41 and the Community Center will occur.
Discussion: Director Searl provided an update from his conversation with the insurance adjuster, noting that some
walls appear structurally sound and the insurer advises the building may not need full demolition. The Village will
obtain an independent third-party opinion through Keller. Discussion occurred regarding the history and insurance
valuation of the building.
Manager Sturgell provided an overview of staff’s recommended direction for reconstruction. Staff would like
decisions made soon so design work can begin and east -side fire protection can fully return . Staff proposes
rebuilding Fire Station #41 at its current location, as response data supports its continued effectiveness for
east-side calls. Short-term Fire Station accommodations currently include a temporary bay on Airport Road and
potential rental space for an additional apparatus.
Staff also recommends expanding the Fire Station footprint and reducing the Community Center footprint to include
a couple of rooms and a separate kitchen area. Director Geiser shared data regarding rental and program needs
showing demand on both sides of the Village and noting the east-side facility’s continued importance as a polling
location. Data shows that over 40% of Community Center renters are west-side residents, approximately 15%
east-side residents, over 30% non-residents, and about 5% City of Menasha residents. Staff noted that west -side
rental demand supports creating additional Community Center space on that side. With a new Police Station
needed, a smaller Community Center space may be incorporated into the new Police building. Manager Sturgell
presented an updated diagram showing the potential Community Center addition.
Director Geiser summarized community feedback regarding the current Community Center layout, particularly
concerns about the small kitchen located inside the main room. She recommends a kitchen on both the east and
west sides, with exterior access as used in other communities.
Trustees asked about the future of the current Police Department area at the Municipal Complex once a new station
is built. Manager Sturgell explained the potential plan to relocate Parks & Recreation and Streets into that space
due to significant existing limitations. The hallway leading to their current offices would be closed. Further
discussion will occur as department needs and building flow are evaluated.
Trustees asked about safety concerns with locating a Community Center adjacent to a new Police Station.
President Youngquist expressed concerns and suggested a standalone west-side Community Center. Chief Callan
Village of Fox Crossing Village Board of Trustees Special Meeting Minutes August 31, 2026
and Director Geiser stated they do not view the adjacency negatively and noted it could improve past issues and
foster positive interactions with Police.
Chief Sweeney provided an overview of fire and EMS call data for the east-side and emphasized that the current
location of Station #41 remains optimal for response times. He stated the rebuild would remain a satellite station
and requested additional workspace, storage, sleeping quarters, a training room that could serve as an east -side
EOC and polling location, and drive-through bays while maintaining three apparatus bays.
Discussion took place regarding insurance reimbursement differences if the Village elects not to retain walls
deemed structurally sound. Director Searl explained that insurance will cover the cost to rebuild what previously
existed, and if the Village chooses to remove those walls, the Village would be responsible for paying the additional
cost beyond the insurance reimbursement. More information is expected following Keller’s review.
Director Geiser reiterated that the rebuild provides an opportunity to address prior issues with program space,
storage, renter access, and facility layout.
Trustees expressed interest in maintaining the size of the east -side Community Center while expanding the Fire
Station. They noted that insurance and cost estimates are needed for a full picture and emphasized planning for
both current needs and future growth. Director Searl noted Keller is prepared to move quickly once the independent
review begins.
Manager Sturgell stated the goal is straightforward, functional buildings and responsible use of funding. He
requested board direction on proceeding with preliminary design work and on whether staff should move forward
with clearing the remainder of the si te once Keller completes its assessment. Discussion occurred regarding
finances, including a potential future operational referendum. Rebuild costs will be covered by insurance and
additional borrowing , not a referendum . Director Searl noted that future borrowing for the Police Station or
additional rebuild costs would increase the mill rate.
Following discussion, the Board provided nonbinding majority consensus guidance as follows:
1. Establish a west-side Community Center; planning for the rebuild will assume Community Center space
on both the east and west sides.
2. Authorize staff to work with McMahon on developing preliminary concept drawings for the east -side
Community Center and Fire Station #41, with the understanding that the existing walls will be removed.
Staff may also work with McMahon to incorporate west-side Community Center space into the new Police
Department building plans.
3. Direct staff to wait on demolition of the remaining structure until Keller’s assessment is received; however,
staff may begin obtaining cost estimates for razing the remainder of the building.
Director Hoechst provided an update on PFC and water facility matters on the east-side. A meeting with the City
of Appleton will occur in coming weeks to explore an expedited connection to Appleton’s system, which may reduce
risk compared to pursuing an emergency connection.
4. Adjourn
Motion: Trustee Van Dyke, seconded by Trustee Swiertz, to adjourn at 7:11 p.m.
Vote: Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,

Section 4. Form of the Notes. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be
executed and delivered in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated
herein by this reference.
Section 5. Tax Provisions.
(A) Direct Annual Irrepealable Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the principal of and
interest on the Notes as the same becomes due, the full faith, credit and resources of the Village
are hereby irrevocably pledged, and there is hereby levied upon all of the taxable property of the
Village a direct annual irrepealable tax in the years 2026 through 2045 for the payments due in
the years 2027 through 2046 in the amounts as are sufficient to meet the principal and interest
payments when due.
(B) Tax Collection. So long as any part of the principal of or interest on the Notes remains
unpaid, the Village shall be and continue without power to repeal such levy or obstruct the
collection of said tax until all such payments have been made or provided for. After the issuance
of the Notes, said tax shall be, from year to year, carried onto the tax roll of the Village and
collected in addition to all other taxes and in the same manner and at the same time as other taxes
of the Village for said years are collected, except that the amount of tax carried onto the tax roll
may be reduced in any year by the amount of any surplus money in the Debt Service Fund
Account created below.
(C) Additional Funds. If at any time there shall be on hand insufficient funds from the aforesaid
tax levy to meet principal and/or interest payments on said Notes when due, the requisite
amounts shall be paid from other funds of the Village then available, which sums shall be
replaced upon the collection of the taxes herein levied.
Section 6. Segregated Debt Service Fund Account.
(A) Creation and Deposits. There shall be and there hereby is established in the treasury of the
Village, if one has not already been created, a debt service fund, separate and distinct from every
other fund, which shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. Debt service or sinking funds established for obligations previously issued by the
Village may be considered as separate and distinct accounts within the debt service fund.
Within the debt service fund, there hereby is established a separate and distinct account
designated as the "Debt Service Fund Account for General Obligation Promissory Notes - 2026"
(the "Debt Service Fund Account") and such account shall be maintained until the indebtedness
evidenced by the Notes is fully paid or otherwise extinguished. There shall be deposited into the
Debt Service Fund Account (i) all accrued interest received by the Village at the time of delivery
of and payment for the Notes; (ii) any premium which may be received by the Village above the
QB\104196014.1
-4-
par value of the Notes and accrued interest thereon; (iii) all money raised by the taxes herein
levied and any amounts appropriated for the specific purpose of meeting principal of and interest
on the Notes when due; (iv) such other sums as may be necessary at any time to pay principal of
and interest on the Notes when due; (v) surplus monies in the Borrowed Money Fund as
specified below; and (vi) such further deposits as may be required by Section 67.11, Wisconsin
Statutes.
(B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Fund Account
and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes
until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and the Notes canceled; provided (i) the
funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Notes prior to the scheduled
receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of
the United States of America maturing in time to make such payments when they are due or in
other investments permitted by law; and (ii) any funds over and above the amount of such
principal and interest payments on the Notes may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy,
or may, at the option of the Village, be invested by purchasing the Notes as permitted by and
subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, or in permitted municipal investments under
the pertinent provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes ("Permitted Investments"), which investments
shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Fund Account. Any investment of the Debt
Service Fund Account shall at all times conform with the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any applicable Treasury Regulations (the
"Regulations").
(C) Remaining Monies. When all of the Notes have been paid in full and canceled, and all
Permitted Investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service Fund Account
shall be transferred and deposited in the general fund of the Village, unless the Village Board
directs otherwise.
Section 7. Proceeds of the Notes; Segregated Borrowed Money Fund. The proceeds of the
Notes (the "Note Proceeds") (other than any premium and accrued interest which must be paid at
the time of the delivery of the Notes into the Debt Service Fund Account created above) shall be
deposited into a special fund (the "Borrowed Money Fund") separate and distinct from all other
funds of the Village and disbursed solely for the purpose or purposes for which borrowed.
Monies in the Borrowed Money Fund may be temporarily invested in Permitted Investments.
Any monies, including any income from Permitted Investments, remaining in the Borrowed
Money Fund after the purpose or purposes for which the Notes have been issued have been
accomplished, and, at any time, any monies as are not needed and which obviously thereafter
cannot be needed for such purpose(s) shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund Account.
Section 8. No Arbitrage. All investments made pursuant to this Resolution shall be Permitted
Investments, but no such investment shall be made in such a manner as would cause the Notes to
be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or the Regulations and an
officer of the Village, charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes, shall certify as to
facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations in existence on the date of delivery
of the Notes to the Purchaser which will permit the conclusion that the Notes are not "arbitrage
bonds," within the meaning of the Code or Regulations.

-5-
Section 9. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws. (a) The Village represents and covenants that
the projects financed by the Notes and the ownership, management and use of the projects will
not cause the Notes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code.
The Village further covenants that it shall comply with the provisions of the Code to the extent
necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Notes including, if applicable,
the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Village further covenants that it will
not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within
its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the
Notes) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Notes to be an
arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise
cause interest on the Notes to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal
income tax purposes. The Village Clerk or other officer of the Village charged with the
responsibility of issuing the Notes shall provide an appropriate certificate of the Village
certifying that the Village can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the
Code and Regulations.
(b) The Village also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements and restrictions
of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made applicable to the Notes
provided that in meeting such requirements the Village will do so only to the extent consistent
with the proceedings authorizing the Notes and the laws of the State of Wisconsin and to the
extent that there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.
Section 10. Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Notes are hereby designated
as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of the Code, relating to the
ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax purposes, interest
expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.
Section 11. Execution of the Notes; Closing; Professional Services. The Notes shall be issued in
printed form, executed on behalf of the Village by the manual or facsimile signatures of the
President and Village Clerk, authenticated, if required, by the Fiscal Agent (defined below),
sealed with its official or corporate seal, if any, or a facsimile thereof, and delivered to the
Purchaser upon payment to the Village of the purchase price thereof, plus accrued interest to the
date of delivery (the "Closing"). The facsimile signature of either of the officers executing the
Notes may be imprinted on the Notes in lieu of the manual signature of the officer but, unless the
Village has contracted with a fiscal agent to authenticate the Notes, at least one of the signatures
appearing on each Note shall be a manual signature. In the event that either of the officers
whose signatures appear on the Notes shall cease to be such officers before the Closing, such
signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes to the same extent as if they
had remained in office until the Closing. The aforesaid officers are hereby authorized and
directed to do all acts and execute and deliver the Notes and all such documents, certificates and
acknowledgements as may be necessary and convenient to effectuate the Closing. The Village
hereby authorizes the officers and agents of the Village to enter into, on its behalf, agreements
and contracts in conjunction with the Notes, including but not limited to agreements and
contracts for legal, trust, fiscal agency, disclosure and continuing disclosure, and rebate
calculation services. Any such contract heretofore entered into in conjunction with the issuance

or fiscal agency agreement with a financial institution to be named in the Approving Certificate.
Section 13. Persons Treated as Owners; Transfer of Notes. The Village shall cause books for
the registration and for the transfer of the Notes to be kept by the Fiscal Agent. The person in
whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner
thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on any Note shall be made
only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy
and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Any Note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by surrender of the Note at the
office of the Fiscal Agent, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment duly
executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such transfer,
the President and Village Clerk shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new Note or Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity and the
Fiscal Agent shall record the name of each transferee in the registration book. No registration

The Village shall cooperate in any such transfer, and the President and Village Clerk are
authorized to execute any new Note or Notes necessary to effect any such transfer.

payment date shall be the record date for the Notes (the "Record Date"). Payment of interest on
the Notes on any interest payment date shall be made to the registered owners of the Notes as
they appear on the registration book of the Village at the close of business on the Record Date.

Village is authorized and directed to execute and deliver to DTC on behalf of the Village to the
extent an effective Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations is not presently on file in the Village
Clerk's office.

of the Notes to the Purchaser are subject to approval by the Authorized Officers of the principal
amount, definitive maturities, redemption provisions, interest rates and purchase price for the
Notes, which approval shall be evidenced by execution by the Authorized Officers of the
Approving Certificate.
The Notes shall not be issued, sold or delivered until this condition is satisfied. Upon
satisfaction of this condition, the Authorized Officers are authorized to execute a Proposal with
the Purchaser providing for the sale of the Notes to the Purchaser.

Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the
"Rule"). All actions taken by the Authorized Officers or other officers of the Village in
connection with the preparation of such Preliminary Official Statement and any addenda to it or
final Official Statement are hereby ratified and approved. In connection with the Closing, the
appropriate Village official shall certify the Preliminary Official Statement and any addenda or
final Official Statement. The Village Clerk shall cause copies of the Preliminary Official
Statement and any addenda or final Official Statement to be distributed to the Purchaser.
Section 18. Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. The Village hereby covenants and
agrees, for the benefit of the owners of the Notes, to enter into a written undertaking (the
"Undertaking") if required by the Rule to provide continuing disclosure of certain financial
information and operating data and timely notices of the occurrence of certain events in
accordance with the Rule. The Undertaking shall be enforceable by the owners of the Notes or
by the Purchaser on behalf of such owners (provided that the rights of the owners and the
Purchaser to enforce the Undertaking shall be limited to a right to obtain specific performance of
the obligations thereunder and any failure by the Village to comply with the provisions of the
Undertaking shall not be an event of default with respect to the Notes).
To the extent required under the Rule, the President and Village Clerk, or other officer of the
Village charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes, shall provide a Continuing
Disclosure Certificate for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the details and
terms of the Village's Undertaking.

to obtain such municipal bond insurance. The President and Village Clerk are authorized to
agree to such additional provisions as the bond insurer may reasonably request and which are
acceptable to the President and Village Clerk including provisions regarding restrictions on
investment of Note proceeds, the payment procedure under the municipal bond insurance policy,
the rights of the bond insurer in the event of default and payment of the Notes by the bond
insurer and notices to be given to the bond insurer. In addition, any reference required by the
bond insurer to the municipal bond insurance policy shall be made in the form of Note provided

Section 21. Conflicting Resolutions; Severability; Effective Date. All prior resolutions, rules or
other actions of the Village Board or any parts thereof in conflict with the provisions hereof shall
be, and the same are, hereby rescinded insofar as the same may so conflict. In the event that any
one or more provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality
or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions hereof. The foregoing shall take effect
immediately upon adoption and approval in the manner provided by law.
