PRE-SALE REPORT FOR
City of Delafield, Wisconsin
$1,885,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes,
Series 2026A
Prepared by:
Ehlers
N19W24400 Riverwood Drive,
Suite 100
Waukesha, WI 53188
Advisors:
Philip L. Cosson, Senior Municipal Advisor
Kayla Thorpe, Municipal Advisor
Todd Taves, Senior Municipal Advisor
BUILDING COMMUNITIES. IT’S WHAT WE DO.
Presale Report
City of Delafield, Wisconsin
May 4, 2026
Page 1
Proposed Issue:
$1,885,000 General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A
Purposes:
The proposed issue includes financing for the following purposes:
2026 capital projects including but not limited to various equipment, streets, parks and LCFR.
• General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series 2026A. Debt service will be paid from
ad valorem property taxes.
Authority:
The Notes are being issued pursuant to Wisconsin Statute(s):
• 67.12(12)
The Notes will be general obligations of the City for which its full faith, credit and taxing
powers are pledged.
The Notes count against the City’s General Obligation Debt Capacity Limit of 5% of total City
Equalized Valuation. Following issuance of the Notes, the City’s total General Obligation debt
principal outstanding will be approximately $13,036,335, which is 10% of its limit. Remaining
General Obligation Borrowing Capacity will be approximately $120,332,870.
Term/Call Feature:
The Notes are being issued for a term of 10 years. Principal on the Notes will be due on April
1 in the years 2027 through 2036. Interest will be due every six months beginning April 1, 2027.
The Notes will be subject to prepayment at the d iscretion of the City on April 1, 2034 or any
date thereafter.
Bank Qualification:
Because the City is expecting to issue no more than $10,000,000 in tax exempt debt during
the calendar year, the City will be able to designate the Notes as “bank qualified” obligations.
Bank qualification broadens the market for the Notes, which can result in lower interest rates.
Rating:
The City’s most recent bond issues were ra ted by Moody’s Investors Service. The current
rating on those bonds is “Aa2”. The City will request a new rating for the Notes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF PROPOSED DEBT
Presale Report
City of Delafield, Wisconsin
May 4, 2026
Page 2
If the winning bidder on the Notes elects to purchase bond insurance, the rating for the issue
may be higher than the City's bond rating if the bond rating of the insurer is higher than that
of the City.
Basis for Recommendation:
Based on your objectives, financial situation and need, risk tolerance, liquidity needs,
experience with the issuance of Notes and long-term financial capacity, as well as the tax
status considerations related to the Notes and the structure, timing and other similar matters
related to the Notes, we are recommending the issuance of Notes as a suitable option.
Method of Sale/Placement:
We are recommending the Notes be issued as municipal securities and offered through a
competitive underwriting process. You will solicit competitive bids, which we will compile on
your behalf, for the purchase of the Notes from underwriters and banks.
An allowance for discount bidding will be incorporated in the terms of the issue. The discount
is treated as an interest item and provides the underwriter with all or a portion of their
compensation in the transaction.
If the Notes are purchased at a price grea ter than the minimum bid amount (maximum
discount), the unused allowance may be used to reduce your borrowing amount.
Premium Pricing:
In some cases, investors in municipal bonds prefer “premium” pricing structures. A premium
is achieved when the coupon for any maturity (t he interest rate paid by the issuer) exceeds
the yield to the investor, resulting in a price paid that is greater than the face value of the
bonds. The sum of the amounts paid more than face value is considered “reoffering premium.”
For this issue of Notes, any premium amount received that is more than the underwriting
discount and any capitalized interest amounts mu st be placed in the debt service fund and
used to pay a portion of the interest payments due on the Notes. We anticipate using any
premium amounts received to reduce the issue size.
The amount of premium allowed can be restricted in the bid specifications. Restrictions on
premium may result in fewer bids but may also eliminate large adjustments on the day of sale
and unintended results with respect to debt se rvice payment impacts. Ehlers will identify
appropriate premium restrictions for the Notes intended to achieve the City’s objectives for
this financing.
Other Considerations:
The Notes will be offered with the option of the successful bidder utilizing a term bond
structure. By offering underwriters the option to “term up” some of the maturities at the time
of the sale, it gives them more flexibility in finding a market for your Notes. This makes your
issue more marketable, which can result in lowe r borrowing costs. If the successful bidder
utilizes a term bond structure, we recommend the City retain a paying agent to handle
responsibility for processing mandatory redemption/call notices associated with term bonds.

Review of Existing Debt:
We have reviewed all outstanding indebtedne ss for the City and find that there are no
refunding opportunities currently.
We will continue to monitor the market and the call dates for the City’s outstanding debt and
will alert you to any future refunding opportunities.
Continuing Disclosure:
Because the City has more than $10,000,000 in outstanding debt subject to a continuing
disclosure undertaking (including this issue) and this issue does not meet an available
exemption from continuing disc losure, the City will be agreeing to provide certain updated
Annual Financial Information and its Audited Financial Statement annually, as well as
providing notices of the occurrence of certain re portable events to the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”), as required by rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). The City is already obliged to provide such reports for its existing bonds
and has contracted with Ehlers to prepare and file the reports.
Arbitrage Monitoring:
The City must ensure compliance with certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code and
Treasury Regulations (“Arbitrage Rules”) throughout the life of the issue to maintain the tax-
exempt status of the Notes. These Arbitrage Rules apply to amounts held in construction,
escrow, reserve, debt service account(s), etc., along with related investment income on each
fund/account.
IRS audits will verify compliance with reba te, yield restriction and records retention
requirements within the Arbitrage Rules. The Ci ty’s specific arbitrage responsibilities will be
detailed in the No Arbitrage Certificate (the “Tax Compliance Document”) prepared by your
Bond Attorney and provided at closing.
The Notes may qualify for one or more exception(s) to the Arbitrage Rules by meeting 1) small
issuer exception, 2) spend down requirements, 3) bona fide debt service fund limits, 4)
reasonable reserve requirements, 5) expenditur e within an available period limitations, 6)
investments yield restrictions, 7) de minimis rules, or; 8) borrower limited requirements.
An Ehlers arbitrage expert will contact the City within 30 days after the sale date to review
the City’s specific responsibilities for the Notes. The City is currently receiving arbitrage
services from Ehlers in relation to the Notes.
Investment of Note Proceeds:
Ehlers can assist the City in developing a strategy to invest your Note proceeds until the funds
are needed to pay project costs.
Other Service Providers:
This debt issuance will require the engagement of other public finance service providers. This
section identifies those other service providers, so Ehlers can coordinate their engagement

on your behalf. Where you have previously used a particular firm to provide a service, we have
assumed that you will continue that relationship. For services you have not previously
required, we have identified a service provider . Fees charged by these service providers will
be paid from proceeds of the obligation, unless you notify us that you wish to pay them from
other sources. Our pre-sale bond sizing includes a good faith estimate of these fees, but the
final fees may vary. If you have any questions pertaining to the identified service providers or
their role, or if you would like to use a different service provider for any of the listed services

CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION REPORT
STUDY OVERVIEW
MGT is pleased to have had the opportunity to work with the City of Delafield on this
Classification and Compensation Study. Human resource management is a significant concern
as governmental services continue to increase in cost and complexity, and the resources to
fund local governments are constrained. Day-to-day operations present challenging
administrative problems in planning, organizing, and directing human resource functions in
order to achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of municipal services. A
properly developed and administered Classification and Compensation Plan forms the
foundation for meeting these challenges. It helps to ensure that the City can not only recruit the
best and brightest employees but can also retain those employees, even in a competitive
marketplace. By retaining qualified, experienced employees, the City avoids the costs of re-
recruitments and lost productivity while maximizing the benefits of the investments it has made
in employees and the institutional and community knowledge acquired by those employees over
their tenures.
MGT understands the high expectations established in Delafield for service delivery and
competitiveness in recruiting and retaining excellent employees. These factors have been
considered in the analysis and reflected in the Study results.
A Classification and Compensation Study encompasses a significant amount of information
that can be time-consuming to condense and organize into an abbreviated format. Therefore,
MGT has compiled this Executive Summary in order to provide a quick synopsis regarding the
major components, findings, and recommendations of this Study. The purpose of a well-
designed Classification and Compensation Study is twofold. First, it establishes internal equity
(ranking) among employees across Departments in the City. Second, it assures external
equity/competitiveness by comparing the compensation of Delafield employees against market
data. The following is a brief overview of the process:
Job Evaluation Analysis and Job Classification System
Below is a list of tasks included in this component of the Study (listed in the order that the work
was performed):
● Study preparation and project meetings . Met with City Administration to discuss Study
methods and expectations, review the current Classification and Compensation Plan and
organizational structure, answer questions, and review the scope and schedule of work.
● Material distribution. Prepared a memorandum of explanation, which was distributed to
employees. Held meetings with employees to discuss the Job Analysis Questionnaire
(JAQ) and to explain the scope and purpose of the Study . Employees were provided time
to complete the questionnaire. The JAQs were returned to MGT within approximately
three (3) weeks of distribution.
● Determined comparable communities and collected compensation data. MGT, along with
the City, determined a logical survey sample of “like” communities that impact the
compensation market of Delafield. Then, MGT designed, and the City sent out the survey
for the positions and benefits covered in the Study.
● Job Evaluation Analysis and Establishment of a Classification Plan. Upon return of the
JAQs by the City, MGT performed the following:

▪ Read each JAQ and corresponding Job Description in its entirety.
▪ Conducted virtual interviews with at least one (1) employee in each position
covered by the Study to further understand the scope of duties and responsibilities
of the position.
▪ Applied a measurement system of Job Evaluation Factors to all positions, which
formed the basis for internal rankings (equity) of positions.
▪ Upon completion of the Job Evaluation measurements, a new Classification Plan
was developed.
Market Survey
The following tasks were included in this component of the Study:
● Tabulated, summarized, and analyzed comparative compensation information
obtained from the comparable communities. Prepared pay tabulations that compared
the salary ranges of the City of Delafield to the salary ranges of its comparable
communities. Prepared comparison calculations at the 50 th, 60th, 65th, 75th and 80th
percentiles. Displayed data for each community and for each position and
summarized the data in table form . Based on discussions with the City and the
gathered data, developed salary ranges that would establish Delafield as a payer at
the 60th percentile of the salary data from the comparable communities.
● Based on the above data, developed, and recommended new salary schedules and
recommended new Job Titles for some positions.
● Analyzed and summarized the benefit information.
Draft and Final Report Preparation
● A preliminary analysis of the data and recommended Classification and
Compensation Plan was shared with the City. Feedback from City Administration was
reviewed and incorporated into the recommendations.
● This draft report has been prepared by MGT and sent electronically to the City.
● A presentation of these draft findings will be conducted, as requested.
● Once the presentation is made and review comments are returned by the City a final
report will be prepared and transmitted electronically.
Future Administration of the Classification and Compensation Plan
● Within the body of this report, MGT has outlined how the City can maintain the
Classification and Compensation Plan. MGT will supply the City with a User’s Manual
and all associated documents to maintain the Classification and Compensation Plan
and the steps to ensure the City remains competitive with the market in the years to
come.

JOB EVALUATION
MGT’s approach to Job Evaluation involves a quantitative point and factor comparison method,
which cross-compares all positions in the organization against numerous factors such as
educational requirements, experience, work conditions, etc. Therefore, all jobs in each
organizational unit (e.g., Police, Administration, Finance, etc.) may be compared against each
other based upon the same factors.
In conducting the Job Evaluation, it must be emphasized that the position, and not the
incumbent’s qualifications, performance, or years of service in the position, is evaluated. An
incumbent employee may feel they should be placed in a higher level (i.e., receive more points)
because the individual performs well, has a long tenure with the organization, and/or has
additional education or skills not required to perform that job, or may feel they have a more
significant workload than a similar employee in another Department; however, these are
employee specific characteristics and not determinants for a position evaluation.
Before reviewing the results of the evaluation of the positions, it is important to note that the
purpose of a Job Evaluation is to identify whether a job is more or less advanced than, or equal
to, other jobs in the organization based on nine (9) objective factors. While these factor
definitions are guidelines, they are constructed to allow limited flexibility of interpretation while
at the same time providing a strict framework and structure for comparison. The nine (9)
factors used for the evaluation of Delafield’s positions are as follows:
1. Preparation and Training
2. Experience Required
3. Decision-Making and Independent Judgment
4. Responsibility for Policy Development
5. Planning of Work
6. Contact with Others
7. Work of Others (Supervision Exercised)
8. Working Conditions
9. Use of Technology/Specialized Equipment
As part of the Job Evaluation process, the duties, responsibilities, and qualification
requirements for each position were reviewed via a thorough reading of the incumbent’s current
job description and a Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) completed by each employee (Appendix
A). In addition, MGT conducted interviews with at least one (1) employee in each of the
positions covered by the Study. Points were then assigned to each factor by selecting the
description that best fits the appropriate level for the position. In other words, a position that
supervises ten (10) full-time staff members would receive more points under the “Work of
Others” factor than positions that do not supervise. Points for each factor were then totaled for
each position. Using this method, the positions were found to fall into distinguishable Skill
Levels. Table 1 contains the Classification Plan, including the Position Title, Skill Level, and
proposed Grade for the evaluated positions.
As part of the service provided in the Compensation Study, MGT makes Job Title change
recommendations to either reflect a better description of the job being performed or to be

consistent with trends in the organization or the marketplace. Based on this, MGT recommends
the following Job Title change:
Current Title: Proposed New Title:
DPW Foreman DPW Supervisor
Deputy Clerk-Treasurer Deputy Clerk-Treasurer/HR Generalist
Clerk 1 Police Support Specialist
To better align job classifications with employee experience and qualifications, Public Works
Maintenance Worker positions have been separated into three distinct levels: Maintenance
Worker I, Maintenance Worker II, and Maintenance Worker III (Water Certification). Additionally,
it is recommended that a new Utility Lead position be established to provide day-to-day
leadership with utility operations, strengthen operational efficiency, and support succession
planning within the department. This position is recommended at Grade 5, with consideration
given to promoting a current employee who meets the qualifications and has demonstrated the
skills and performance necessary to succeed in the role.

THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN
A Classification Plan provides for a systematic arrangement of positions into classifications. A
position, often referred to as a job (e.g., Clerk), contains a specific set of duties and
responsibilities, and that is the objective of the classification process, not the person currently
holding that job. A classification is a grouping of positions that have similar levels of knowledge,
skills, and abilities needed to perform the job. The positions are also similar in nature of work,
level of work difficulty, and responsibilities. Positions allocated to the same classification are
sufficiently similar with respect to the types of factors enumerated above to permit them to be
compensated at the same general level of pay. The positions do not have to be identical; they
can be in different departments, dealing with different subject matters, and performing different
duties.
It is this arrangement of positions and resulting classification structure that forms the basis for
the Classification Plan. As noted in the previous section, a Job Evaluation and Classification
Plan is not intended to assess individual performance. To that end, a position that belongs in a
certain classification is not entitled to be placed in a higher classification simply because the
individual performs with a high degree of success and efficiency, nor is it placed in a lower
classification simply because the incumbent performs with low competence or productivity.
Variations in individual performance are not recognized by differences in classifications,
instead, they are management issues. Similarly, there is a tendency in some workforces to use
the Classification Plan to reward longevity, even though the duties and responsibilities of
individual positions may not have changed over time. Longevity is not a classification factor,
and the Classification Plan should not be used in this manner.
As an assessment of duties performed and responsibilities exercised, a Classification Plan is an
exceedingly useful managerial tool. It provides the fundamental rationale for the Compensation
Plan and helps management identify positions that have taken on (or, in some cases, reduced)
duties and responsibilities. Through proper maintenance of the Classification Plan, employees
are assured of management’s continuing concern about the nature of the work that they
conduct and its reward in the form of appropriate pay levels and relationships. The
Classification Plan also provides the basis for recruitment, screening, and selection of
employees in direct relationship to job content. Promotional ladders, as well as opportunities for
lateral career development, are also evidenced by the logical grouping of allied occupational
classifications and hierarchies.

SALARY AND BENEFIT DATA
The City initiated this Study with the objective of assuring that its Compensation Plan is both
internally equitable and externally competitive. The Job Evaluation System (outlined above) is
performed to address the issue of internal equity. To achieve external competitiveness, a
market survey of comparable communities was conducted. The following explains the labor
market review and collection of salary data.
Selection of Comparable Communities for Data Purposes
Selecting communities for the comparison group is an important element in a Classification and
Compensation Study. When selecting communities to serve as comparables, it is important to
use particular criteria to evaluate the other communities to ensure that those chosen as
comparables will be the most similar to Delafield.
To determine which communities should be used for survey purposes, MGT first considered all
Wisconsin communities in Waukesha, Dodge, Jefferson, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth
and Washington Counties with a population between approximately 3,500 and 14,500.
Criteria Total Possible Points
1. Population 20
2. Total Equalized Value 15
3. Property Tax Levy Per Capita 15
4. Basic Spending Per Capita 15
5. Total Shared Revenue 15
6. Per Capita Debt 10
7. Proximity 10
100
The seven (7) categories listed above were selected to mirror important criteria such as similar
financial conditions, population, and proximity.
Within each of the seven (7) categories, ranges of compatibility were established. For example,
the closer a community was to matching Delafield’s estimated population, the closer the
community would be to receiving the maximum of twenty (20) points. A community whose
population was significantly larger or smaller than City’s population would receive fewer or even
zero (0) points. Thus, a community achieving a total of one hundred (100) points would be
considered most comparable to the City of Delafield. A community with zero (0) points was
therefore determined to be the least comparable to Delafield. A more detailed explanation of the
methodology used to determine the comparable communities is included in Appendix B.
A cutoff of seventy-five (75) points was established to select the communities most similar to
Delafield across the seven (7) categories. After applying the seven (7) criteria, fifteen (15)
communities achieved seventy-five (75) or more compatibility points on the comparison scale
with Delafield. At the City’s request, the Village of Lac La Belle, Lake Country Fire & Rescue, the

City of Oconomowoc and the City of Pewaukee were also included as comparable entities. The
full list of the nineteen (19) comparables is below:
Village of Bayside Village of Jackson City of Pewaukee
City of Cedarburg Village of Lac La Belle Village of Pewaukee
City of Elkhorn Lake Country Fire & Rescue Village of Slinger
Village of Elm Grove City of Lake Geneva Village of Summit
Village of Fox Point Village of Lisbon Village of Sussex
Village of Hales Corners Village of Mukwonago
Village of Hartland City of Oconomowoc
Bolded peers indicate the community responded to the survey or supplied MGT with a copy of their Compensation
Plan/Union Contracts.
Market Survey
After identifying the benchmark positions, the Consultants then prepared and distributed a
market survey to the nineteen (19) comparable communities. Table 1 is a summary of the
benchmark market survey data. The detailed market survey data for each position is contained
in Appendix C.
It is important to make a few observations regarding Table 1 and Appendix C.
1) The salary data is information that was available as of January 2026 – February
2026. The new recommended salary ranges for the City were developed using this
salary data from the comparable communities.
2) Some of the comparable communities provided salary range minimums and
maximums for comparison purposes, while others (those that don’t utilize salary
ranges as part of their pay plans) provided actual salaries for surveyed positions.
The salary range minimums and maximums were analyzed to determine the 50
th,
60th, 65th, 75th, and 80th percentiles to identify wage ranges for “average” and “above
average” payers. Any actual salaries provided by the comparable communities were
only analyzed in a few instances when there was not enough salary range
information. Salary ranges are a better gauge of market salaries than an actual
salary and are thus preferred to conduct analysis.
3) Data contained within Appendix C has been thoroughly reviewed.
Appraisal and Use of Salary Data
While comparing Delafield’s current salaries to those paid by other employers in the comparable
communities, it must be noted that variations in compensation may be due to several factors,
including:
1) Organizational size and economic conditions can have an impact on positions. In
smaller communities, employees are often asked to "wear many hats" and, therefore,
take on more duties and responsibilities than would normally be required of a certain
position. In addition, the economic downturn forced communities to "do more with
less", compelling staff to take on more duties and responsibilities than they had in
City of Delafield, WI | April 2026
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION REPORT
8
the past. Therefore, it becomes increasingly harder to compare “like” positions within
communities.
2) Some employers place different relative worth on certain groups of employees. For
example, some employers are forced to place a higher value on certain employees or
groups of employees because of the market and, therefore, pay them more. Overall,
the policies and value judgments of different employers in compensating for the
same kind of work can vary widely. There is rarely a single prevailing rate for any
particular kind of work, even within the same labor market.
3) It can be difficult to make exact comparisons among the different employers of the
duties and responsibilities of ostensibly similar jobs.
Nevertheless, comparative salary data is widely considered a reliable indicator of appropriate
compensation levels in relation to the prevailing market. This data is also useful as an indication
of prevailing opinions concerning the compensation relationships that should exist among
different classifications of work. Of equal importance, however, are the internal relationships for
the various positions that were accomplished in the Job Evaluation portion of this Study.
The Market Survey Benefits and Findings
A review of benefits offered by the City of Delafield compared to comparable communities
indicates that the City’s overall benefits package is competitive within the market. However,
several variations were observed and are summarized below.

COMPENSATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Development of the Compensation Plan
A basic element in any human resources management program is adequate and equitable
employee compensation. A Compensation Plan of this nature is essential if qualified employees
are to be recruited and retained. To achieve this goal, there must be a reasonable and widely
accepted model of Job Factors upon which the Compensation Plan rests. Application of this
model was the purpose of the Job Evaluation aspect of this Study. The Plan presented in this
report is designed to accomplish the Study goals by:
1) Providing for equal compensation for work of equivalent job content and
responsibility.
2) Facilitating adjustments to compensation levels based on changing economic and
employment conditions that impact these interrelationships.
3) Establishing compensation ranges that compare favorably with those of other
equivalent communities within the appropriate labor market.
In preparing this Plan, the Study only looked at base compensation. The compensation
associated with longevity or other fringe benefits was not analyzed or factored into the
Compensation Plan.
Compensation Plan Options for the City’s Consideration
One of the purposes of this Study was to provide an updated Compensation Plan that relates to
the external market and is internally equitable. Below is a detailed explanation of three (3)
different Compensation Plans:
1) Defined Increment Plan: This is a Compensation Plan that has salary ranges with a
minimum and a maximum with defined percentage increments (e.g., 3%) in between.
If an employee has a satisfactory performance evaluation, they systematically
advance through the compensation range. The performance evaluation and resulting
salary increment increase occur annually.
2) Open Range Merit Plan: This is a Compensation Plan that also has salary ranges with
minimums and maximums, but without defined percentage increments in between.
Employees are advanced through the compensation range based on an annual
satisfactory performance evaluation, with the percentage of their increase
determined annually by City Administration.
3) Blended Merit Plan: This is a Compensation Plan that uses techniques from both a
Defined Increment Plan and an Open Range Merit Plan.
In considering which Plan to use, it is important to understand that employees at various levels
of responsibility may react differently toward and be motivated differently by the Compensation
Plan they work under. Management personnel who are goal-oriented may have a higher
acceptance of the Open Range Merit Plan and thus tend to be more comfortable with this
method of compensation. Mid-to-low-level positions may want the assurance of a defined
salary increase based on satisfactory performance.
City of Delafield, WI | April 2026
CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION REPORT
13
Each system provides advantages and disadvantages, which should be evaluated by the
community to determine the most appropriate system to be established.
Recommendation: Open Range Merit Plan
MGT recommends adoption of an Open Range Merit Plan. This compensation structure
establishes salary ranges with minimums and maximums, but without fixed percentage
increments between those points, allowing greater flexibility in how employees are hired and
compensated. Under this plan, employees advance through the range based on annual
performance evaluations, with merit increases determined by the supervisor and City
Administration based on performance, professional growth, and available funding.
T
his approach provides the City with important flexibility for both recruitment and long-term
compensation management. It also supports Delafield’s goal of recruiting, rewarding, and
retaining motivated, high-performing employees. Most importantly, it ensures that employee
movement through the range is based on documented performance, demonstrated skill
development, increased responsibilities, and overall contribution to the City, rather than simply
receiving the same annual adjustment applied to the salary ranges. By linking pay progression
to individual merit and growth, the Open Range Merit Plan promotes fairness, encourages
development, and helps the City recognize and retain valuable employees.
N
ote: This new plan does not apply to unionized Police Department positions, which will remain
covered under the collective bargaining agreement.
Proposed Compensation Plan and Structure
Within the market analysis, MGT refers to “percentiles” (for example: 50th, 60th, 65th, 75th, and
80th percentiles). Percentiles indicate where salaries or salary ranges fall in comparison to the
other salaries or salary ranges from the comparable communities. The 50th percentile is the
median (or middle) of the data set. When a community is considering which percentile to
compensate employees at, they are deciding where they want their employee salaries and
salary ranges to fall within the market of comparable communities. For example, if a community
selects the 50
th percentile, that means they would be paying a fair market rate at the 50th
percentile or middle of the comparable communities. If a community selects the 60th percentile,
then the salary ranges would be 10% higher than the middle of the market.
An important component in the process of developing a Compensation Plan is understanding
and applying the pay philosophy of the City. For the purposes of this study, MGT is
recommending that the City consider a pay philosophy of compensating employees at the 60
th
percentile.
The next step in this process is to combine the Skill Levels included in Table 1 with the
proposed salary ranges in Table 2. The Classification and Compensation Plan consists of
twelve (12) pay grades and two seasonal pay Grades; and is broken down into the following five

All proposed pay ranges are open ranges. There is a 10% gradation between Grades 1 – 3 and a
5% gradation between Grades 4 – 7 and Grades 8 – 10. All Grades have a 30% range spread
from minimum to maximum.
Note: Gradation refers to the relationship between the minimum compensation of one grade to
the minimum compensation of the next grade. In this case, the starting compensation for
employees in Grade 2 is 10% higher than Grade 1, and so on. The gradation will vary depending
upon the relationship between the salary data for the grade, the number of grades in the
compensation band, and the established compensation range.
Table 1 combines all of the classification and compensation data at the 60th percentile.
MGT collected market data for the police union positions, which is also summarized in Table 1.
Because these are union positions, MGT did not recommend pay ranges; however, an overview
of the market alignment is provided below.
Overall, the Police Union classifications are positioned at or slightly above the 60th percentile
market targets in the proposed grades. For the roles of Police Sergeant and Police Detective,
current salaries of 101,962–101,969 are above the 60th percentile benchmarks of 101,026–
(roughly 0.6% higher), indicating these rates are competitive and essentially aligned with
market. For Police Officers, the 60th percentile market range shown is 73,066 to 93,516; current
pay spans 81,081 to 99,280, with one incumbent within the range, one essentially at the upper
end, and the majority above the market maximum by approximately 2,900 to 5,800 (about 3%–
6% over). In summary, Sergeant/Detective rates are tightly market-aligned, while Police Officer
rates trend above the 60th percentile market range for most incumbents.
Implementation and Administration of the Compensation Plan
Implementation of the Compensation Plan, as it affects individual employees, should be under
the following pattern of adjustments:
1) Employees whose present compensation is below the minimum compensation of
the range for their classification should be raised to the minimum of the range. The
total cost to bring employees to the minimum is $7,336.
2) Employees whose current compensation falls within the range for their classification
should be placed into the new Compensation Plan at their existing pay rate. It is
recommended that limited tenure based adjustments be considered; these
adjustments total $17,900.
3) The compensation of employees whose present compensation is above the
maximum compensation of the range should be held at their present rate, without a
reduction in compensation, until such time that further market analysis indicates
commensurate alignment with the marketplace (does not apply).
All increases should take effect at the start of the first full pay period following Council approval
of the Classification and Compensation Plan.
MGT also recommends an additional consideration for the City Administrator role. Given that
this position is currently filling both the City Administrator and Director of Public Works roles,
MGT recommends that the City consider a temporary additional-duty stipend to recognize the
substantial scope of responsibility assigned to one individual. This arrangement places both
executive leadership and major operational oversight under a single position, creating a

significantly broader workload than would normally be expected for either role on its own. At the
same time, having one employee perform both functions can generate meaningful cost savings
for the City by reducing the need to fund a separate full-time department head salary and related
benefit costs. A stipend is therefore an appropriate way to acknowledge the added
responsibility while still preserving overall savings to the organization.
For consideration, MGT recommends an additional-duty stipend of $15,000 annually for as long
as the City Administrator is assigned to serve in both roles. This amount provides reasonable
recognition of the combined executive and departmental responsibilities without suggesting
permanent restructuring of compensation. MGT also recommends that the City view this as a
broader compensation approach that could be applied again if a future City Administrator is
asked to take on another department-head function, such as Finance Director, rather than
limiting the concept only to Public Works.
Employee Advancement through the Ranges
To implement the new Compensation Plan, MGT recommends that the starting salary of the
range (minimum) is the normal hiring/promoting rate. Exceptions to this starting point should
be limited to hiring situations involving:
1) Applicants with an exceptional background and qualifications.
2) A promotion in which the employee’s current compensation is higher than the
minimum of the new range.
3) In the case of a labor market situation where it is impossible to recruit qualified
candidates at the minimum.
In these cases, employees may be appointed to their positions anywhere within the defined
range (generally up to the midpoint), depending on their experience and qualifications, and
based on the provisions of the City’s policies (if applicable). Employees should not be hired
below the minimum of their compensation range.
Salary progression from the hiring rate to the top of the range occurs over an employee’s tenure
with the City. Employees advance through the range annually, based on a satisfactory
performance evaluation. As employees move higher in the range, performance expectations
should increase, and standards should become more rigorous. Typical annual movement
through the range is generally 1% to 3%, depending on performance, achievement of goals, and
the City’s available financial resources.
MGT recommends adopting a structured wage increase approach that includes a standardized
cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) plus an additional, performance-based (merit) component.
This provides a consistent baseline increase for all eligible employees while allowing the City to
differentiate increases for higher performers through merit awards. To maintain internal equity,
MGT recommends that combined COLA and merit increases average no more than the annual
increase approved under the Police Department contract. This approach allows variation across
employees as long as the overall average aligns with the contract-approved increase (for
example, 4%). MGT further recommends establishing clear guidance on the COLA/merit split so
the merit portion is meaningful enough to encourage performance and support continued
movement through the range; as a general guideline, the merit component should be at least 1%
or more, subject to the City’s financial capacity.

CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION REPORT

To support this structure, MGT recommends that the City set aside dedicated funding each year
for performance-based increases for employees covered under this plan. This set-aside would
serve as the merit pool, recognizing that higher-performing employees would receive a larger
share of the available increase while lower-performing employees would receive a smaller
share, consistent with established performance criteria.
Finally, successful implementation of this plan depends on a formal performance evaluation
process for all employees. Supervisors should also receive adequate training to ensure
evaluations are applied consistently, fairly, and in a way that supports the intent of the pay plan.
FUTURE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
COMPENSATION PLAN
To maintain competitive salary levels, there should be an annual review of the City’s salary
ranges. The communities used in the survey group for this Study have been determined to be
comparable to the City. Therefore, Delafield can continue to use these communities as a
comparable market survey group for annual salary comparison purposes until it is determined
that they should be reevaluated. It is MGT’s recommendation that an annual survey of these
communities be conducted to determine the percentage increase each community in the
comparable group is granting, either as an annual across-the-board increase to their employees
or as a general adjustment to their compensation ranges.
It is the further recommendation of MGT that the compensation ranges for each grade be
increased by the average percentage increase of the comparable group, even if an across-the-
board increase is not given to all employees. Employees would continue to advance through the
compensation ranges (provided that the employee is not at the maximum of the compensation
range) by virtue of a merit increase granted for satisfactory or above-satisfactory performance
of their job duties.

CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION REPORT

FUTURE ADMINISTRATION OF THE
CLASSIFICATION PLAN
The administration of a Classification Plan is an ongoing process. It must be recognized that it
is not static and is not intended to affix positions permanently into classifications. Instead, the
Plan must be administered continually to adapt it to changing conditions.
Three (3) specific types of changes in the Plan itself are possible: elimination of a position,
creation of a position, or revision of a position.
1) When a position in a classification is eliminated or when a position has significantly
changed work duties and responsibilities to the extent that the position becomes
inappropriate or inaccurate, the position should be abolished.
2) New positions should be created when new work situations arise that are not
covered by the established positions. However, caution should be exercised in this
respect, particularly to ensure that new positions are justified, are not merely
duplicating established positions, cannot be accommodated through changes in
existing positions, and reflect substantially permanent rather than temporary
situations.
3) The adjustment or revision of a position should be done when there are substantial
changes to the requirements of the position or to the nature and complexities of the
duties being performed. In this instance, a position may need to be re-scored and
move up or down into a new classification.
All changes should be thoroughly evaluated in order to maintain the integrity of the
classification relationships established in the Classification and Compensation Plan. City
Administration has been provided with the Job Analysis Questionnaire as well as the Job Factor
Scoring Sheet, enabling the City to grade a newly created or revised position. MGT provides
scoring assistance in such cases in accordance with the Study contract.
Appreciation
MGT has appreciated the opportunity to work with the City of Delafield on this Classification
and Compensation Study. A special thank you to the employees for all of the information
provided to allow for the analysis and to the City Administrator and City Clerk for the significant
amount of work and support dedicated to the project.

From: James Reiher
Date: April 19, 2026
Subject: City of Delafield Common Council-2026 DAF Summer Concert Series at
Liberty Park Event Fee Waiver Request.
Dear Council Members:
The Delafield Arts Foundation Inc. (DAF) is an established 501(C)(3) non-profit
organization staffed entirely by volunteers. It is planning entertainment events in Liberty
Park this summer 2026 on Thursday evenings starting June 4 and ending on August
13. The specific dates are June 4, June 18, July 2, (Monday July 6) July 23, August 6,
and August 13. There are no concerts on July 9 or 16 due to the Block Party.
Additionally. we have a special performance by Kids from Wisconsin scheduled on
Monday July 6. All concerts are free to the public. There is no charge for admission.
These events follow the DAF mission to promote the arts and entertainment in the
Delafield community. As part of the process, any funds generated by these events will
be used to assist in the payment of the performers, the building and operation of the
Stage at Liberty Park, and the sponsoring of art programs, including, but not limited to,
musical, cultural, educational and art festivals, public theatre, and other similar
outreach programs for the public and Delafield community to enjoy. The DAF
volunteers covering these events are all unpaid.
The event packet, park rental application, temporary sign application, the certificate of
insurance covering the City of Delafield, and other related materials are being filed
electronically.
On behalf of the DAF Board of Directors, I respectfully request that the City of Delafield
Common Council waive the event rental fee of $50 per event (7) totaling $350. We
believe it to be in the best interests of the city as a whole, its residents, the surrounding
community, and is consistent with the volunteerism provided by us all.
Thank you for your consideration to the request.
Jim Reiher

POLICE DEPARTMENT
115 Main St, Delafield, WI 53018 ♦ Phone: 262-646-6240 ♦ Fax: 262-646-6242
April 30, 2026
City Council,
Attached you will find updated traffic enforcement data for the police department,
provided to offer transparency into our current enforcement efforts and to guide future
priorities.
When discussing “traffic enforcement” I would like to clarify that term includes traffic
stops, regardless of citation issuance, and documented traffic enforcement watches.
We have also added responses to traffic crashes in this data. Crashes are directly related
to enforcement and should be a part of this overall picture. This new number utilizes
our in-house records, which include responses to crashes under mutual aid, which are
usually interstate related. This number will differ from state crash data.
Our top priority remains areas with a documented history of frequent crashes, followed
by community-identified concerns.
We have had two officers on field training for nearly all of 2026. This means there are
two officers per car. Despite this, we showed an increase in enforcement per individual
officer shift to 0.91, from 0.72 in 2025. Both officers just cleared their field training and
are on solo patrol, so we expect this trend to continue upward. This goal is intended as a
baseline expectation, not a quota, and is meant to encourage consistent, proactive
enforcement while maintaining officer discretion.
Traffic enforcement continues to be a priority for our department, which is
demonstrated in that 27.72% of all officer activity was traffic enforcement related so far
in 2026. This is up from 21.82% in 2025. When factoring responses to traffic crashes that
number rises to 30.66%.
We continue to monitor Milwaukee St, with it being third in total stops and second in
traffic watches citywide. Radar survey data confirms that speeds on Milwaukee St
continue to drop, with 85
th percentile speeds equaling 28 mph and cars travelling 9 mph
or over at 1%, down from 4% in May of 2025.
In conclusion, we hope to continue our increase in overall enforcement throughout the
city and provide our officers with data driven guidance on where enforcement is
needed. As our other responsibilities and required assignments increase, we will
continue to prioritize traffic enforcement whenever possible. We will continue to report
this data quarterly and adjust our strategies as staffing levels, crash trends, and
community needs evolve.
Sincerely,
Landon Nyren

Staffing
Organizational Chart
The department is composed of 16 full-time sworn personnel, two full-time non-sworn clerks, and
a volunteer police chaplain. Sworn personnel consist of the Chef of Police, Police Lieutenant, Three
Sergeants and 10 Officers split between three shifts.
• The department provides 24 hour a day service, 365 days a year.
• Each shift overlaps with the previous shift by 30 minutes to allow consistent coverage and
reduces overtime expenditure due to records keeping and report writing.
New Officer
In 2025 Officer Taylor Drover joined our team. Officer Drover was sponsored by us to attend the WCTC
police academy and completed her training in December. She began her field training immediately
after.
Reorganization Results
In 2022 it was proposed and approved by the Police Commission to restructure the department after
the projected retirement of the Police Captain in 2022. Instead of replacing the captain, we created
three Sergeant positions. These three positions take on some basic administrative tasks but have the
focus of patrol duties and supervision. This reorganization allowed us to increase our minimum patrol
staffing from 3pm-11pm to two officers. This increase in patrol staffing, without any budgetary
impact, has increased our efficiency and capabilities as well as the safety of officers and the public.

Superior Investigation Award – Detective Daniel Bloedow
In recognition of superior investigative performance and unwavering dedication in solving a complex
series of seven burglaries committed between 2016 and 2017.
Assigned to the case in September 2019, Detective Bloedow demonstrated exceptional persistence
3
and investigative skill, meticulously analyzing evidence and collaborating with multiple law
enforcement agencies. Through his efforts, and with the valuable assistance of the Waukesha County
Sheriff, Washington County Sheriff, and Sheboygan County Sheriff, he successfully identified a
suspect by May 2020.
In August 2024, Detective Bloedow conducted a formal interview with the suspect, securing critical
information that allowed him to finalize the investigation. His commitment to justice and attention to
detail culminated in September 2024, when he submitted a comprehensive prosecution package to
the District Attorney’s Office, ensuring accountability for these crimes.
Citizen Meritorious Conduct – Stacy Dean
The Citizen Meritorious Conduct for Life Saving Award is given to any member the public whose
actions significantly contribute to the saving or prolonging of the life of another by actions which are
beyond the scope of duties normally performed by a member of the Police Department. Stacy Dean’s
actions on April 30, 2025 resulted in the rescue and medical treatment of an elderly citizen who had
fallen on the side of the roadway.
Community Engagement
Our department seeks to be an integral part of this community. We do not focus solely on
enforcement, but engage with our partners throughout the community to support all residence,
business owners, and visitors in the city.
National Night Out
Every year we partner with neighboring police agencies, business owners, and community
organizations to provide a fun night for families to meet their local first responders and community
organizations.
Citizen’s Academy
Through a partnership with Lake Country Fire and Rescue, Hartland Police, Pewaukee Police, and
Chenequa Police we offer weekly classes from March Through May to individuals interested in
learning how their local first responders work in their communities. From daily patrol to tactical
teams, each day provides insights into a different aspect of law enforcement and Fire/EMS.
School Safety Training
Officers with specialized training participate in yearly presentations to many area schools on what to
do during an emergency on campus. These classes are free to all and are a critical part of every
school’s safety program.
Prescription Drop Box and Drug Take Back Events
A newly upgraded and larger prescription drop box was installed in the department lobby, allowing
anyone the opportunity to deposit expired and unused medications for proper disposal. This, along
with regularly scheduled drug take back events, allows our agency to help keep dangerous drugs out
of the water supply and the hands of those that do not need them.
Additional Partnerships
We also partner with many other local organizations to ensure the best services are available to all
our community members; The Delafield Chamber of Commerce, The Women’s Center, the Addiction
4
Resource Council, NAMI, the Delafield Lions, and many more!
Operational Updates
Leveraging Technology
ALPR
In recent years our agency has implemented the use of automated license plate readers in areas of
high property crime. These are readers that observe traffic on public roadways and allow officers to
be both proactive and reactive to criminal activity.
Since their implementation they have assisted in many criminal investigations:
18 thefts, 2 motor vehicle thefts, 4 hit and run crashes (including a fatal crash), 2 assaults, 1 reckless
homicide, and several other incidents. Over $110,000 in property has been recovered as well.
We have implemented several safeguards to ensure our system is utilized in legal and ethical ways.
The system is only used to investigate violations of law or locate endangered or criminally dangerous
individuals.
We audit the use of our systems and only allow access to approved regional municipal law
enforcement agencies. We also have the ability to audit the searches on our system and revoke
access if we feel they are using data from our systems in a manner inconsistent with our own policies.
Access is not granted to federal agencies.
We will continue to ensure we utilize these powerful tools in a legal and ethical manner and ensure
we are always holding the rights of everyone in our community in the highest regard possible.
Evidence.com
In 2024 we implemented AXON Evidence.com along with squad and body cameras. We made it a goal
to move entirely away from physical DVDs and CDs for evidence storage and transmittal to the
District and City Attorneys.
We have been very successful. All evidence is stored and sent digitally. In addition, we have received
approximately 265.8 GB of digital evidence from the community and other partners via the system.
This is all stored securely along with our over 4 TB of body and squad camera footage. This system
requires no in-house servers or computer systems to operate and has increased our administrative
efficiency.
Grants/Training
Our agency has partnered with the Department of Homeland Security’s Center for Domestic
Preparedness to develop a new national course for responding to dangerous controlled substance
scenes. Chief Nyren and Officer Kralovetz attended the first pilot course in 2025 and helped provide
feedback for development. Additional officers will be participating in this pilot program through 2026
and attending once it is finalized. This training gives officers the knowledge and skills needed to
respond and collect evidence in cases involving fentanyl and other dangerous substances.
After attending this training, Chief Nyren created a new department wide response program and
5
submitted the details to the Wisconsin Department of Justice for grant funding. The DOJ awarded our
agency with grant funds to cover all needed safety equipment to implement this new program in 2026.
This will allow our officers to be at the cutting edge of tactics and methods when responding to these
scenes in Delafield and as members of the regional Major Investigations Unit and Overdose
Investigation Task Force.
Also in 2025, our agency joined the Wisconsin DOJ Overdose Investigation Task Force. This multi-
jurisdictional team combines the resources of local, county, state and federal agencies to investigate
fatal overdoses in southeast Wisconsin. Participation in this team has led to the arrest of many
fentanyl dealers, including one tied to a fatality in Delafield. While being a member of this task force,
any overtime costs associated with an overdose investigation, whether it is assisting an outside
agency or an investigation here in Delafield, is reimbursed by the state. In 2025 we were reimbursed
for $6992.36. In addition, any money that is seized during these investigations can be forfeited and
shared with participating agencies. In 2025, a Delafield investigation led to the seizure of over $70,000
in cash. This partnership gives us access to resources that are well beyond an agency of our size.
Disrupting the flow of dangerous fentanyl to this region can save lives here in Delafield and beyond.
Prioritizing Traffic Enforcement
The department is dedicated to ongoing and improved traffic enforcement throughout the city. We
report on this progress quarterly to the Common Council. Traffic statistics and priorities are covered
in these quarterly documents.
Crime Statistics
Clearance rates are based on Incident Based Reporting (IBR) statistical data, which are comprised
of most criminal offenses. This data is reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation where data is
collected and made available to the public.
We did see a significant drop in reported property crime in 2025. This was specifically apparent in

shoplifting incidents which were down from 130 in 2024 to 79 in 2025. This is most likely due to a lack
of reporting by large retailers.
Since the implementation of IBR by our agency in 2021, we have seen a drastic improvement in
clearance rates. In 2025 our clearance rate of reportable offenses was 72.5%, in 2021 it was 50.8%.
This increase is likely due, in part, to the implementation of new technologies and training that allow
our investigations to operate more efficiently and effectively.
Total Incidents
Incidents, or events, are any activities documented by members of the department on a day-to-day
basis. Incidents include initiated activity like traffic enforcement and response to calls for service(s)
from citizens. These statistics do not include time spent completing paperwork, conducting
investigations and documentation. Staffing levels have had a significant impact on these statistics.
With departures, injuries, and medical leave our department has been running 1-3 officers short for
some time. With the evolving complexity of some cases and the continued trend of 2 to 3 fatal
overdose cases per year, the time available for proactive patrol is reduced.
Multijurisdictional Units and Partnerships
Suburban Critical Incident Team (SCIT)
This unit responds to high-risk incidents that require a highly trained tactical unit. The team is
comprised of several member departments: Delafield, Hartland, Chenequa, Village of Pewaukee,
City of Brookfield, New Berlin, Elm Grove, Mukwonago and Muskego. This team trains extensively
and is ready to deploy as needed. Our department has two officers on the team, one operator and
one negotiator.
Major Investigations Unit (MIU)
This unit responds to large incidents that would overwhelm most agencies. The team is comprised

of investigator and officers that are specially trained in specific areas of investigations. Theses
include evidence recovery and processing, photography, fire investigation, sensitive crimes, and
computer forensics. Our department has four members assigned to the unit, including the
Detective.
Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU)
This unit responds to large disturbances or large gatherings that may require advanced crowd
control tactics. It is comprised of many Waukesha County agencies and is administered by the
Waukesha Sheriff’s Department. This unit trains in safe management of large crowds and
disturbances. Our department has two members assigned to the unit, including the Chief as a
member of the command team.
WI DOJ Overdose Investigations Task Force (ODI)
This task force is a multi-jurisdictional partnership of local, county, state, and federal law
enforcement agencies focused on investigating overdose incidents and disrupting the distribution
of dangerous narcotics, particularly fentanyl, throughout southeast Wisconsin. Participation in the
task force provides the department with access to specialized investigative resources, intelligence
sharing, and regional enforcement efforts that extend beyond the capabilities of an agency our
size. The partnership also allows for state reimbursement of qualifying overtime expenses related
to overdose investigations and provides opportunities for asset forfeiture sharing tied to narcotics
investigations. Through coordinated enforcement and investigative efforts, the ODI Task Force
works to reduce the availability of deadly drugs and improve public safety both locally and
throughout the region.
Lake Country Municipal Court (LCMC)
The City of Delafield recently joined the LCMC. This court is located in the City of Oconomowoc
and serves 22 communities. The court is 100% funded by citation court cost fees and does not
require any Delafield tax dollars to operate. This court serves as a very efficient way of dealing with
municipal traffic and ordinance violations.
Waukesha County Communications (WCC)
All non-emergency and 911 calls for Delafield are handled by this center. This shared resource also
allows us to have direct and quick communications with all our neighboring municipalities and the
Sheriff’s department. We also share dispatch and records management systems, allowing for the
free flow of intelligence. These 24/7/365 dispatch services, radio system, and software are
available to us for under $25,000 per year. With the starting pay of a single dispatcher at
approximately $65,000, this equates to a significant savings for the city.
Boat Patrol
The department provides Boat Patrol Operations during the warm weather months. Emphasis is
placed on the months of June, July and August. All members participate in this function after receiving
8
training that has been recognized by the Dept. of Natural Resources as a model for other agencies to
follow.
Enforcement is focused on education and safety matters rather than the generation of revenue for
the city. The ratio of hours worked to either citations or written warnings issued results in the city
being reimbursed at the highest rate possible by the DNR on a yearly basis.
Our activities are not limited to enforcement, but include numerous other activities performed
during Boat Patrol operations. This may include but is not limited to safety compliance inspections
of watercraft, search and rescue, individual and vessel assistance. The Officers conducting Boat
Patrol operations are there to maintain a safe and enjoyable resource for all citizens to utilize.
Our agency will release a yearly boat patrol report after the completion of the boating season.
Having this report prepared separately will allow us to include information that may otherwise be
overlooked in a general police annual report.

Attachments: IMA Amendment With Exhibits WATERMARK FINAL 04.29.2026 - 53495497.1.pdf
Mayor and Council Members,
The head elected officials of the Lake Country Fire & Rescue (LCFR) member municipalities have
finalized a proposed amendment to the LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement (IMA). The proposed
amendment will be on the council agenda next week for consideration of approval. Attached is the
proposed amendment for your review in advance of the council packets going out tomorrow. The
Fire Chief is still waiting to hear back from the attorneys for each municipality, to confirm that they
approve of how the four final tweaks listed in his email below have been incorporated into the
document. These final tweaks are considered minor and not substantive. It’s possible that one or
more of the attorneys could ask for these final edits to be revised, but again, any such revisions are
not expected to be substantive. I thought it would be better to get this to you now, so that you had
an extra day to review.
Note: All page numbers referenced in my summary below are based on the page numbers identified
at the bottom of the pages, not the .pdf document page numbering. The title page is unnumbered
but the .pdf document counts it as page 1. Therefore, there is a one-page number difference
between the page numbering identified at the bottom of the pages and the .pdf document page
numbering.
The amendment is largely the same as the prior version that the City of Delafield Council approved
on October 20, 2025. Some of the more significant changes that the Council had approved in
October include the following:
Currently, at least one fire board member from each of the seven member municipalities
must be present to have a quorum of the fire board. This amendment changes that, so that a
meeting can still be held if only six of the seven municipalities are represented. See Section
V.F.2. on page 12.
Currently, at least one fire board member from each member municipality must vote in favor
of a motion for it to be adopted. This amendment reduces that requirement to at least one
member from six of the seven member municipalities. Therefore, with this amendment, a
motion can be adopted by the fire board if both fire board members from one of the member
municipalities objects. See Section V.F.3. on page 12.
The operating and capital budget cost sharing formulas are amended. The portion of the fixed
portion of the budget was reduced from 65% to 32.5% as part of the amendment for the 2026
budget. The current amendment would further reduce the fixed portion of the budget from
32.5% to 0% for the 2027 budget and beyond (the entire budget would be funded through
the call volume/population/equalized value of improvements formula). The City of Delafield
paid 46% of the fixed portion of the budget. The formula component percentages were
amended as part of the amendment for the 2026 budget such that call volume was increased
from 33.33% to 50%, population was decreased from 33.33% to 25%, and EV-Improvements
was decreased from 33.33% to 25%. The current amendment would further adjust those
formula component percentages for the 2027 budget and beyond, such that call volume is
increased to 60% and population and EV-Improvements are both reduced to 20%. This
amendment changes the capital budget cost sharing from fixed percentages (the City of
Delafield was at 41%) to being based on the same formula percentages derived from the
operating budget formula. For the 2025 budget, the City of Delafield paid 41.13% of the
operating budget and 41% of the capital budget. For the 2026 budget, the City of Delafield
paid 38.38% of the operating budget and 39.69% of the capital budget. If this proposed
amendment is approved by all partner municipalities, then for 2027 the City of Delafield
would pay approximately 36.50% of both the operating and capital budgets (subject to annual
changes in call volume, population, and EV-Improvements relative to our partner
municipalities). See Section V.I.2. on page 15.
The proposed amendment commits to maintaining all existing staffing positions and adding
no fewer than three additional full-time firefighter/paramedic positions in each of the
calendar years 2027, 2028, and 2029 (cumulative total of nine by 12/31/2029). See Section
V.I.4.a. on page 16.
The proposed amendment better defines the distribution of assets and surplus funds to a
withdrawing partner municipality. See Section XI.C.2. on pages 31 through 33.
Significant changes since the City of Delafield approved a prior version of this amendment on
October 20, 2025, include the following:
The primary sticking point last October was the term of the amended agreement. The City of
Delafield wanted to retain the status quo with a two-year notice required for a partner
municipality to withdraw from LCFR. Our partner municipalities wanted it increased to three
or four years. Although the two-year withdrawal notice was retained in the currently
proposed amendment, all partners are committed to an additional year at this point, with the
delay of the amendment to this year. At this point, the earliest that a partner municipality
could withdraw from LCFR would be December 31, 2028 (this would require written notice of
intent to withdraw before December 31, 2026). See Section XI.C.1. on pages 30 and 31.
The proposed amendment eliminates the CPI+2% restriction on operating budget increases.
Instead, for budget/calendar years 2027 through 2029, the portion of the operating budget
excluding salary and benefits shall be limited to a maximum annual increase of 2.5%, unless a
greater amount is unanimously approved by all partner municipalities. Salary and benefits
shall be increased as required by the collective bargaining agreement in effect (for union
employees) and the current wage and benefit resolution approved by the LCFR board (for
non-represented employees). See Section V.I.4.a. on pages 16 and 17.
For budget/calendar years 2030 and beyond, any increase to the operating budget of 2.5% or
less is deemed automatically approved. If the proposed increase is greater than 2.5%, then all
partner municipalities must approve. If all partner municipalities do not adopt identical
budgets, then the previous year’s budget plus 2.5% shall be utilized. Under the current
agreement, if all partner municipalities do not adopt identical budgets, then the previous
year’s budget plus 0% is utilized. See Section V.I.4.b. and c. on page 17.
Please contact me if you have any questions that you’d like to discuss before Monday’s meeting.

4.
Exhibits. Each of the exhibits has been properly titled and is included in the
document.
Because there have been so many versions of this document floating around, we
watermarked it as Final “4-29-26” We will remove the watermark once it has been
approved by all parties and the final document is circulated for signatures.
I did send this out to the attorneys this afternoon and have heard no comments back
from them. For the sake of time and those looking to get it on agendas next week I am
forwarding to you now.
Thank you all for the work you have put into this. Looking forward to getting it to the
finish line.

LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 27
equipment prior to the damage occurring as determined by a competent appraiser appointed by the

purchased as a replacement shall be owned by LCFR with all Municipalities contributing their
share using the funding formula.
Equipment and apparatus purchased during the term of this Agreement shall be owned by
LCFR with all Municipalities as tenants in common, with each Municipality’s share of ownership
being equal to the percentage paid, respectively, of the total price paid by the owner Municipalities.
The Fire Board shall keep records showing the date and cost of e ach purchase of each piece of
equipment and apparatus used by th e Fire Department subsequent to the date of entering this
Agreement and the amounts paid therefore by each Municipality.
Any equipment and apparatus which was owned by an individual Municipality, as reflected
on Exhibit C, shall be leased to LCFR at the cost of $1.00 per year, and the Fire Department shall
be responsible to maintain, repa ir, insure, use and control all su ch equipment and apparatus. No
equipment or apparatus shall be sold by the Fire Board wit hout the prior approval of the
Municipalities. Although Municipal ities will retain ownership of current equipment, the Fire
Department will be responsible for their maintenance as stated above.
ARTICLE IX:
FIRE STATIONS
The Fire Board and Fire Department shall ke ep the firefighting equipment in the fire
stations as determined by the Fire Chief. Leases shall be entered into between the Fire Board and
the Municipalities for the use of the space now occupied by the Fi re Department until or unless
the Fire Board determines otherwise. The initial rent under such leases shall be one dollar ($1.00)
per year per station until or unless the Fire Boar d determines otherwise. Maintenance and utility
costs of any Municipality owned buildings shall be paid by the Municipality that owns it. It is not
LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 28
the intention of this Agreement to address th e building of any new f acilities. Substantial
modifications and additions to current buildings that are chosen to be undertaken by any of the
participating Municipalities will be paid for by th e individual Municipality that owns it. Possible
examples being if the City of Delafield builds a new station, it will be at their cost. Or if the
Nashotah Village Board determines the Nashot ah Fire Station needs to be remodeled to
accommodate sleeping quarters, it will be at the Village of Nashotah’s cost.
At the onset of this Agreement, the City of Delafield, the Village of Wales and the Towns
of Delafield and Genesee have in stalled vehicle exhaust systems in their Fire Stations, at the
expense of their Municipalities. If the installation of an exhaust system is required in the future for
any other LCFR Fire Station, the municipal owner of the building will be responsible for the cost.
LCFR is responsible for the ongoing maintenance and the potenti al replacement of installed
vehicle exhaust systems in LCFR leased buildings. Examples of more building maintenance items
are attached in Exhibit D. A list of Fire Stations can be found in Exhibit E of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI:
WITHDRAWAL OR TERMINATION
A. Initial Term. This Agreement shall take effect upon the adoption by all

1. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the written consent of six
(6) or more of the Municipalities on or befo re December 31st, effective midnight December 31st
two (2) years after the year notice is given, provided that the Fire Commission and Fire Board shall
each continue to exist as necessary, operating under the terms of this Agreement, for the purpose
of disposing of all claims, distribution of assets and all other functions necessary to terminate the
affairs of the Fire Department, Fire Board and Fire Commission.
2. Disposal of Capital Equipment. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement, the Fire Board shall cause all of the capital equipment owned by the Fire Department
and the capital equipment owned as tenants in common by the participating Municipalities used
by the Fire Department, to be appraised by competent appraisers, and the Fire Board is authorized
to sell such capital equipment to the replacement entity(s) or the Municipalities at the appraised
value provided, however, th at if more than one of the afor ementioned Municipalities desires to
purchase a particular piece of capital equipment, it shall be sold to the highest bidder , via a sealed
bid process among the Municipalities. Sale pr oceeds shall be distributed using the Capital
Equipment Fund Formula calculation. Any piece of capital equipment owned by the participating
Municipality shall be returned to that Municipa lity. Failing to dispose of such capital equipment
to the Municipalities, the Fire Board is authori zed to sell or dispose of the remaining capital
LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 30
equipment at the best price obtainable. Sale of the capital equipment may not commence prior to
four (4) months before the Di ssolution Date. No delivery of any capital equipment to the
purchasing party may occur until the Dissolution Date.
3. Disposal of Remaining Funds. In th e event of termin ation of this
Agreement, the Fire Board shall di spose of all remaining property as it sees fit and shall pay all
outstanding liabilities an d obligations. All remain ing funds of the Fire Board shall be divided
between and paid to the Municipalities in propor tion to the then current year Financing Formula
percentages set forth in Article V.I.2. In the even t that the remaining funds of the Fire Board are
insufficient to pay all outstanding liabilities and obligations of the Fire Board, the balance due on
owing by the Fire Board shall be divided between and paid by the Municipalities in proportion to
the then current year Financing Formula percentages set forth in Article V.I.2.
4. Dissolution. Upon termination of the Department as described above, the
Fire Board and Fire Commission shall not be di ssolved until completion of all termination duties
described in this Article XI, including but not limited to disposal of capital equipment and disposal
of remaining funds. The Fire Board and Fire Co mmission shall each notify th e Municipalities in
writing that its work is complete, and the date of the latest of such notices shall be the Dissolution
Date.
C. Withdrawal.
1. Any Municipality wishing to withdr aw from this agreement shall give
written notice, by certified mail or personal deli very, of said notice indicating their intent to
withdraw, addressed to both the Clerk and Administrator of each of the other Municipalities.
The written notice of intent to withdraw shall state the withdrawing Municipality's intended
effective date of their withdrawal.
LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 31
The written notice of intent to withdraw may be given at any time. Unless mutually agreed
to otherwise by all LCFR municipal members, the earliest effective date for any municipality's
withdrawal shall be midnight on December 31, at least two calendar years after the written notice
of intent is received by all municipalities.
Withdrawal of a Municipality does not constitute termination of this Agreement, although
the terms of this Agreement shall automatically be adjusted to reflect the new percentages of
ownership and funding responsibilities among the remaining Municipalities, and voting where the
Agreement requires six (6) of se ven (7) municipalities, the Agr eement shall now require all but
one Municipality, consistent with the number of remaining Municipalities. The remaining
Municipalities may negotiate and execute an am endment to this Agreement in lieu of such
automatic adjustments to its existing terms.
2. Distribution to Withdrawing Municipality.
a. Valuation of Assets. In the event of withdrawal from this Agreement
by any of the Municipalities hereto, the Fire Board shall purchase the interest of the withdrawing
Municipality or Municipalities in any or all of the apparatus, equipment and other personal
property owned by LCFR at the then book value thereof (that is, cost less depreciation).
Depreciation on fire trucks and other similarly long-lived equi pment shall be computed on a
straightline basis of twenty (20) years, and depreciation on all other equipment shall be depreciated
on the basis of the regularly accepte d life for such equipment. For avoidance of doubt, the Fire
Stations listed in Exhibit E shall be excluded from the value of assets used to calculate any payment
to a withdrawing Municipality. As part of each annual LCFR audit, a schedule shall be maintained,
which lists each piece of LCFR apparatus, equipment, and personal property, each of the
Municipalities percentage interest in each piece of LCFR apparatus, equipment, and personal
LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 32
property based on the cost sharing percentages th at were in place when each item was acquired,
the current book value of each piec e of LCFR apparatus, equipm ent, and personal property, and
the book value of each of the Municipalities interest in each piece of LCFR apparatus, equipment,
and personal property. Individual values shall also be summed up to provide a total current
valuation of assets and each of the Municipality’s current interest in the total current valuation of
assets.
b. Allocation to Withdrawing Party. The withdrawing Municipality’s
share of LCFR assets shall be determined by their share of LCFR assets as documented in the asset
valuation and interest spreadsheet, required in Section (a) above, from the audit for the year ending
immediately prior to the year the withdrawal becomes effective.
c. Control of Buildings Owned by Withdrawing Municipality. All
control of the buildings owned by the withdrawi ng Municipality shall be returned to that
Municipality, as of the withdrawal date.
d. Surplus Funds. The withdrawing Municipality shall also receive its
proportionate share of the surplus funds of LCFR on hand as of the withdr awal date. This shall
include a proportionate share of cash on hand, money due but uncollected, any funds set aside and
earmarked for any future expenditure and any operating budget surplus remaining on the effective
date of the withdrawal. For the purpose of calculating the amount of money due but uncollected to
be allocated, the average collection percentage from the three most recent calendar years shall be
applied. The interest in the surplus funds that existed as of the year ending December 31, 2020
shall be designated to the then current LCFR Municipalities, being the City of Delafield, Village
of Chenequa, and Village of Nashotah, in proportion to each of those Municipality’s then current
funding percentage of the LCFR operating budget. Similarly, if other municipalities join LCFR in
LCFR Intermunicipal Agreement Page 33
the future, the interest in any additional LCFR surplus funds generated since the last merger, shall
be designated to the then cu rrent LCFR Municipalities immedi ately prior to the addition of
municipalities, in proportion to the operating budget funding pe rcentages from when the surplus
funds were generated. As part of each annual LCFR audit, a schedule shall be maintained, which
identifies all surplus funds, including cash on hand, money due but uncollected, any funds set aside
and earmarked for any future expenditure a nd any operating budget surplus, and each of the
Municipalities interest in the surplus funds.
e. Payment Options. LCFR may elect to make the payment in a lump
sum or in annual installments over a period of not more than three (3) years with the first payment
due on the effective date of the withdrawal. LCFR shall not be obligated to pay interest on the
outstanding balance in the event the payment is made in installments.
