Business Pkwy, 1 special event permit – The Kingdom of Wonders Circus, and has 1 utility permit with Frontier under review. Cassie Lang Village Clerk / Deputy Treasurer b) Discussion on N. Business Parkway Cherek stated he has been receiving calls about the posted speed limit of 25 mph being too low for that stretch of road. He believed it was agreed to be 35 mph, however the Police Department had the Street Department post the speed limit at 25 mph. Cherek, the Village Engineer – Vierbicher, and the Fire/EMS Department all feel 35 would be an adequate posted speed. He brought the item to the Board to discuss and to make an official decision on the posted speed limit. MOTION – Approve N Business Parkway posted speed limit of 35 mph Motion made by Sorenson second by Parlier. Motion passed by voice vote. Cherek further gave an update on the storm water issue that has been occurring on N Business Pkwy. Drain tile was installed on the north side of the ditch last month but the issue still occurred. On June 29 th a portion of the road was dug to the east side of manhole for additional drain tile installation. Cherek feels this will help the storm water issue; however, it comes at a price of about $15,000-20,000 to repair the dug-up patch of blacktop and curb. The Board requested Cherek speak with the Engineer about covering costs of the repair as they were aware of the potential issue and claimed it would be fine in the engineering process. c) Discuss and Approve Replacement of Village At-Large Joint Review Board Member Cherek informed that Board that at the 2025 Joint Review Board meeting, Village at-large member, Thomas Vetter, voiced interest in leaving the Board after many years of service.

HANDRICK - Present, M. AHRENS - Present, K. SORENSON – Present (6:04pm), K. PAUL - Present, B. PARLIER - Present, J. LAWRENCE - Absent, A. CABRERA – Absent Marathon School Board did their Roll Call First and is recorded on their Official Meeting Minutes. 4) Written notice of this meeting has been posted and sent to the news media on Thursday, July 9th, 2026. 5) Review District enrollment trends – School Administrator School District Administrator Woyak presented current and projected student enrollment trends to members of the Village Board and Marathon School Board. She reported that district enrollment is beginning to level off and decline slightly after several years of significant growth. Administrator Woyak described this as a "population bubble" currently moving through the high school, which is expected to be followed by smaller graduating classes and lower enrollment levels in the coming years unless the district experiences another influx of families moving into the area. The School Board and Village Board then discussed the potential for future residential subdivision development within the Village. Village Administrator Cherek stated that he is currently working with developers but continues to address the gap between development costs and the infrastructure investments needed to make residential projects feasible. He indicated that progress is being made and that he will continue collaborating with both the School District and Village as development opportunities advance. Both the School Board and Village Board expressed support for responsible, strategic growth. Members noted that residential development within the Village could help maintain student enrollment while serving families who reside within the district boundaries. They also emphasized the importance of encouraging residential growth within the Village to strengthen the community and limit urban sprawl whenever possible. 6) Update on Village Tax Increment District – Village Administrator Village Administrator Cherek provided an overview of the development activity and financial status of both TID 1 and TID 2. For TID 1, Administrator Cherek explained that the district was established in 2002 with a base valuation of $7,361,400 and has grown to a current value of approximately $50,325,000. He noted that the district reached the end of its expenditure period on January 3, 2023, although approximately $107,414 in previously contracted work remains to be completed. Cherek reviewed the TID 1 financial model, explaining that current projections show the district ending with a deficit if no additional growth occurs. However, he emphasized that the model does not account for future development opportunities. He noted that one developable lot remains within the district and that he is actively working to market and develop the property. He also discussed the Phillips Enterprise Limited and Menzner Hardwoods developments, highlighting ongoing conversations regarding a potential second phase of the Menzner Hardwoods project. Cherek stated that, if future development proceeds as anticipated, TID revenues could accelerate debt repayment and potentially allow the district to close earlier than currently projected. For TID 2, Administrator Cherek reported that the district was established in 2016 with a base valuation of $1,124,000 to promote development within the Village's downtown area. Since its creation, the district's value has increased by approximately $5,286,000, largely attributable to the expansion of Marathon Cheese. He noted that the district's expenditure period is scheduled to end on June 16, 2031. Cherek also provided an update on the Stittleburg Restorative Health Care development and reviewed TID 2 financial projections. Based on current assumptions, the district is expected to generate sufficient revenue to retire all existing debt by 2037. He explained that while there may be opportunities for future borrowing to support development, the district's ability to take on additional debt is currently limited as it continues repaying advances from the Village and Utility general funds, which are projected to continue through 2037. 7) Share information regarding District’s Strategic plan – School Administrator The School District Administrator informed those present that the School Board is beginning work on a comprehensive 10-year strategic planning process and encouraged participation from Village officials and community members. The administrator emphasized the importance of gathering input from stakeholders to help guide the district's long-term priorities and future direction. Village Board members shared that the Village is also currently developing and updating its Comprehensive Plan, a long-term strategic plan focused on future growth and community development. The Village encouraged participation from School Board members, residents, and other stakeholders to ensure that planning efforts reflect community needs and priorities. Both boards recognized the value of collaboration and public engagement as they undertake their respective long-range planning initiatives and discussed the benefits of coordinating efforts where possible 8) Discussion of current and future projects 8.1 Collaborative projects 8.2 Village projects, planning and timelines 8.3 District projects, planning and possible timelines Village Administrator Cherek reviewed the Parks Department budget and compared it to the School District's softball field use license agreement. He explained that expenditures for the County Materials Sports Complex are currently running above his original projections. However, Steven Cherek Village Administrator / Treasurer given that this is the facility's first full year of operation, he indicated that the 2026 budget remains generally within the range of what was anticipated. Administrator Cherek noted that several expenses incurred this year were one-time or unexpected costs associated with opening and establishing a new park facility. As a result, he expects some expenditure categories to decrease in future years as operations stabilize. Based on his review of the budget and ongoing maintenance needs, Cherek stated that the School District and other user groups can expect an increase of approximately 9% in their use agreement fees next year. He explained that the proposed adjustment also includes setting aside $2,000 annually for future capital equipment purchases and replacement needs related to the maintenance and upkeep of the ball fields, helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of the facility. He also said this will be an item of discussion at the next Village Board Meeting as they set the 2027 Village Park Budget. Administrator Cherek and District Administrator Woyak outlined other future projects that could present opportunities for collaboration between the Village and the School District. These included potential construction of a storage shed at the County Materials Sports Complex by School Students and the installation of flashing pedestrian crosswalk signs along designated Safe Routes to School, particularly at locations currently staffed by crossing guards. Both boards acknowledged the value of continued cooperation on projects that enhance community amenities, improve public safety, and support students and families within the Village. 9) ADJOURNMENT : 7:26pm Village motion made by Parlier second by Ahrens. Motion passed by voice vote. JOINT VILLAGE BOARD/UTILITY COMMISSION MINUTES Monday, July 20, 2026 1. CALL TO ORDER at 4:10 pm VILLAGE ROLL CALL: K. HANDRICK JR.-Present, M. AHRENS-Present, J.

PSC WATER RATE STUDY PRESENTATION WITH EHLERS FINANCIAL Brian Roemer from Ehlers Financial gave a virtual presentation on Phase 2 of the Water Rate Study and Conventional Rate Case (CRC) Application with the Public Service Commission (PSC). The PowerPoint is available in the Packet. Key points of the study were: • The last CRC for the Village was 27% effective April 2016 – water rates have remained the same since then, not taking into consideration the rate of inflation • A projected rate increase of 27.34% is necessary to catch the water utility revenues up to where they need to be, prior to the new Well #5 project o The Village could then apply for consecutive Simplified Rate Cases in subsequent years to account for the new Well • The Village must file the CRC application by July 31st to avoid a potentially larger rate increase of up to 95% • Impact on average residential bill with assumed consumption of 12,000 gallons per quarter estimates a quarterly bill increase of approximately $16 (roughly $64 per year) for water service • A CRC allows for changes to the tariff (rate) schedule, including Public Fire Protection (PFP) o The Village’s current PFP cost of $146,460 is split equally through both the levy, as an expense from the General Fund to the Utility, and through direct payment from water bills  Moving the municipal expense to the Utility for PFP would free up about $73,000 in the General Fund Budget o Another option to change is the charge methodology for the PFP  The Utility currently charges PFP based on assessment values of properties  Have the option to charge based on meter size, making it more streamlined on the billing department with less chance in errors to billing o Another tariff schedule item to consider is a change to the billing frequency  Currently bill quarterly. Could change to monthly. MOTION #1 – File Conventional Rate Case as Presented Reflecting the 27.34% Increase in Water Rates UTILITY Motion made by Handrick second by Telford.

Our Clerk successfully completed Year 2 of the UW-Green Bay Professional Clerk Certification Program. Staff have also been working on updates to the Water Utility billing system and distributing notices related to the Public Service Commission (PSC) approved rate increase. In addition, we have begun the 2027 budget process. Department budget presentations will be conducted over the next several meetings, beginning with the Fire Department and Parks Department at this meeting. 4) Police Department On Tuesday, August 4, the Police Department participated in the National Night Out event at Veterans Park. Numerous local businesses contributed to the success of the event, and their support is greatly appreciated. The Police Department has also begun its 2027 budget review process and will present its budget at the next Village Board meeting. 5) Public Works/Utility The Public Works and Utility Departments continue to stay busy with numerous projects throughout the Village. The Streets Department recently focused on pothole repairs, addressing several areas throughout the community that required attention. In looking at the major projects we are working on, here is their project update: • STH 107 Project: The Village continues to coordinate with WisDOT on the STH 107 project. Next week, Public Works and Utility crews are scheduled to perform water valve inlet repairs while the State has the traffic lane closed to complete stormwater repairs. The overall project remains on schedule for completion before September. • N. Industrial Parkway: The storm drain project has been completed, and concrete and asphalt restoration work is scheduled for this week. The WPS lighting project is also nearing completion. o The project exceeded the original contract amount by approximately $800 due to bedrock encountered in several locations during construction. • County Materials Sports Complex: The Kingdom of Wonders Circus was a successful event and brought many visitors to the new park. The event organizers were easy to work with, and the event provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the facility. o This week, work is beginning on the parking lot expansion project. The project engineer is scheduled to be onsite on August 6 to prepare the site for excavation work, which is anticipated to begin during the week of August 10 th. • Veterans Park: Electrical and lighting upgrades funded by the American Legion are underway. Crews have completed drilling for the new light pole locations and anticipate completing the project before Fun Days • CIPP Project: The Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) project continues to progress well. During inspections, several sections of sanitary sewer were identified as needing excavation and repair prior to lining. o Affected areas include Pine Street, 2nd Street, and 1st Street. The damaged sections on Pine Street and 2nd Street are approximately 40 feet in length and are expected to be repaired before lining can proceed. o The damaged section on 1st Street is approximately 120 feet long. Based on current conditions, the cost of lining this section may exceed the benefit of the repair, and full replacement may be the preferred long-term solution once failures begin to occur • Well #5 Project: The Well #5 project remains in the planning and review stage. Staff continue to work with Ehlers and the PSC on the rate study and project financing requirements. 5) Administrator’s Activities & Plans for August • Continue working with Departments on building the 2027 Budget • Continue work with Ehlers on PSC Rate study for Well #5 • Ongoing coordination of Key projects: o STH 107 Construction o Stittleburg Development o Frontier North, Inc Fiber deployment agreement Steven Cherek Village Administrator Monthly Report July 2026 Fire Calls-8 Calls Village of Marathon-3 Calls Town of Rib Falls-1 Call Town of Stettin-3 Calls Edgar-Auto Aid-1 call EMS Calls- 24 calls Village of Marathon-17 Calls Town of Cassel-2 Calls Town of Marathon-1 Call Town of Stettin-4 Calls Training/School-None.

The cost of providing this benefit level is as follows: Effective Date Amount Current $506.40 01/03/2027 $526.40 01/02/2028 $547.50* 12/31/2028 (2029) $580.40* *Not to exceed. Please note that the Fund will inform the parties when the 2028 and 2029 health and welfare contribution rates are established, and if lower the Fund will automatically reduce the rates to the newly established rates provided that the collective bargaining agreement contains the previously quoted “not-to-exceed” language. Therefore, the parties should also cons ider negotiating language as to how any potential health and welfare savings will be distributed. Enclosed please find a notice concerning the “grandfathered health plan” status of the Central States Health and Welfare Fund. The Trustees have chosen to maintain this status in order to maintain low contribution rates and to minimize changes needed to be implemented on account of the Affordable Care Act in order to limit disruption to the administration of the plan. In accordance with the present requirements for grandfathered status plans please be advised that there are two restrictions that you need to be aware of. First, the Fund has a limited ability to accept renewal contracts that change benefits that were in effect on March 23, 2010 unless the parties sign a "bona fide employment based reason" statement. Also, the Fund is limited in being able to accept new contracts that shift any additional portion of the cost of the health coverage to the bargaining unit member.

Also be advised that the waiting periods for new hires must be in accordance with Question and Answer #1 of Special Bulletin 2013-1. Collective Bargaining Agreements ratified on or after July 1, 2013 will not be accepted unless the waiting period under the terms of the agreement is no more than thirty (30) calendar days unless the Board of Trustees explicitly consents in writing to a longer period. Lastly, Fund policy requires that health and welfare contributions be submitted on all employees covered by the agreement for all periods including full-time and non-full-time employees after they have been on the Employer’s payroll for no longer than 30 calendar days. However, if your agreement has historically excluded or limited health contributions on non-full-time employees, the agreement may or may not be in compliance with the Fund’s policies. If you have historically excluded non-full-time employees, please contact the Fund at (847) 232-5703 for discussion and information prior to completing your negotiations. Please sign and return the attached Wisconsin Participation Agreements by December 1, 2026, if the group wishes to continue participating in the Health Funds. The rates listed above are valid if incorporated into your renewal agreement.
