Clarify that property owners are responsible for operation and maintenance of building sewers. The ordinance would clarify that owners are responsible for operation and maintenance of building sewers. The City has no ability to maintain building sewers. Property owners can access their building sewers via cleanouts. 2. Lower Mercury discharge limit to 0.25 micrograms per liter. The ordinance would reduce the Mercury discharge limit from 1 microgram per liter to 0.25 microgram per liter. 3. Set PFOA discharge limit of 95 nanograms per liter. The ordinance would enact a PFOA discharge limit of 95 nanograms per liter as of January 1, 2027. Wisconsin DNR has issued a surface water quality criteria1 of 95 nanograms per liter and has proposed an interim strategy2 which would, effectively, limit biosolids to 20 milligrams per kilogram of PFOA and PFOS. 4. Set PFOS discharge limit of 8 nanograms per liter. The ordinance would enact a PFOS discharge limit of 8 nanograms per liter as of January 1, 2027. Wisconsin DNR has issued a surface water quality criteria1 of 8 nanograms per liter. A public hearing will be held on the proposed ordinance. The attached public hearing notice was published in the Colfax Messenger. The attached written comment was received from 3M. Further consideration of Proposed Ordinance 2026-07 will occur at a later date. 1 https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/PFAS/WaterQuality.html 2 https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/sites/default/files/topic/PFAS/PFAS_BiosolidsInterimStrategy.pdf ORDINANCE 2026-07 OF THE ORDINANCES FOR THE CITY OF MENOMONIE FOR 2026.

Director of Public Works City of Menomonie 800 Wilson Ave Menomonie WI 54751 RE: Proposed Ordinance 2026-07; Amendments to Title 8, Chapter 2 City Sewer Utility I am writing on behalf of 3M Company to comment on the City of Menomonie’s Proposed Ordinance 2026 -07, which would amend the City Code under Title 8, Chapter 2 City Sewer Utility (the Proposed Ordinance). Among other things, these changes would require every business in Menomonie, no matter how small, to ensure its wastewater process discharges meet local limits of 95 ng/L for PFOA and 8 ng/L for PFOS. 3M shares the City ’s objective of reducing PFAS in wastewater discharges and supports the use of science-based, cost-effective approaches to address this issue. 3M has shared its PFAS sampling data with the City since March 2024. 3M’s Menomonie facility has never manufactured PFAS and the PFAS in its discharges to the POTW appears to be related to residual AFFF in the facility’s fire loop system. 3M is committed to collaborating with the City to identify practical solutions for reducing PFAS in its discharges to the POTW . To that end, 3M has begun collecting discharged fire system water that contains residual PFAS and sending it for offsite disposal, and is working to install a small treatment system to remove PFAS that may be in our Menomonie facility’s floor scrubber water.1 We are concerned that the Proposed Ordinance’s numeric limits would impose undue burdens on the City’s business community. 3M urges the City instead to adopt a more flexible approach that uses wastewater permits for known dischargers—including 3M —to implement cost - effective requirements for reducing the PFOA and PFOS in their discharges. Should the City move forward with numeric limits, 3M asks that Menomonie re -assess them using methods described in federal guidance for setting local limits in pretreatment ordinances. 1 3M has also taken other efforts to reduce PFAS at the facility, including phasing out of the use of fluorinated chemistries in formulating products for sale manufactured at Menomonie and making changes to its storm water plan. Janice Neitzel, Site Director 2 March 31, 2026 3M Menomonie, WI I. Numeric limits could unnecessarily burden Menomonie’s business community. The City’s proposed numeric limits could impose costly obligations on small businesses that contribute only de minimis amounts of PFOA and PFOS to the City’s sewers. At parts-per- trillion levels, the proposed limits could require businesses to conduct sampling and, in some cases, implement potentially costly source -control or treatment measures, even if those businesses never used PFAS or contribute minimal flows . For small dischargers, those costs and operational burdens could be out of proportion to their limited contributions to PFAS loadings and the benefits of any reductions they might achieve. The City, however, need not take this more burdensome path because the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) allows publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) to use flexible, pragmatic approaches to reduce PFAS they receive from industrial users. DNR’s regul ations implementing its PFOA and PFOS standards affords POTWs flexibility to avoid causing unnecessary compliance burdens by mandating PFOA and PFOS reductions “ to the maximum extent practicable.” See Wis. Admin. Code NR § 106.99(1), (2)(d). DNR’s guidance emphasizes that POTWs and other dischargers should pursue reduction measures that are “practicable” and a “cost-effective.” DNR PFOS & PFOA Minimization Plans 2-3 (Oct. 22, 2024) .2 DNR’s guidance “stresses” that numeric limits on PFOS and PFOA are just one tool that POTWs might use and are not necessary to comply. Id. at 8. The guidance suggests that POTWs could instead prescribe “best management practices” or “work directly with their local industries to see if they can reduce PFOS and/or PFOA loadings voluntarily.” Id. This guidance is consistent with the WDNR’s Interim Strategy for Land Application of Biosolids and Industrial Sludges containing PFAS (Interim Strategy), which the City has cited as a basis for the Proposed Ordinance3 The Interim Strategy does not prohibit the land application of sludge with a PFOA/PFOS concentration above 20 μg/kg. Instead, it requires that “i f over a median concentration of 20 μg/kg but below 50 μg/kg, implement PFAS source investigation and reduction efforts, as well as effluent sampling.” Interim Strategy 6. Consistent with all of the guidance discussed above, 3M thus encourages Menomonie, in the first instance, to work with 3M and other significant contributors of PFOA or PFOS to identify cost-effective reduction measures. In this approach, major sources would evaluate and sample their discharges and then implement feasible source-reduction measures. Alternatively, Menomonie could maintain numeric limits for PFOA and PFOS but impose them on only significant contributors through their wastewater discharge permits. These permits could also set compliance schedules for businesses that cannot meet their numeric limits by January 1, 2 https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/water/wsSWIMSDocument.ashx?documentSeqNo=359044298 3 https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/sites/default/files/topic/PFAS/PFAS_BiosolidsInterimStrategy.pdf . While the City cites the Interim Strategy as the basis for the proposed Ordinance changes, the City has not provided any data showing the actual amount of PFOA/PFOS in biosolids from the POTW. Janice Neitzel, Site Director 3 March 31, 2026 3M Menomonie, WI 2027.4 Either approach would impose fewer burdens on small businesses while ensuring substantial PFOA and PFOS reductions in wastewater. II. Federal guidance prescribes methods for setting appropriate local limits. If the City remains committed to imposing PFOA and PFOS limits on all users, 3M urges the City to evaluate whether they must be set at the same level as Wisconsin’s surface water criteria. As you may be aware, municipalities do not typically require businesses to ensure their discharges are below water quality criteria before entering the sewer sy stem. Under applicable EPA guidance, cities instead develop limits based on the “reasonable potential” for pollutant discharges to exceed water quality criteria or potential impacts to biosolids management. See EPA Local Limits Development Guidance pp. 3-3 to 3-4 (July 2004).5 EPA’s guidance further instructs POTWs to use site-specific data to assess the amount of pollutants the treatment plant can handle, calculate the portion of that amount industrial users may reasonably contribute, and allocate that portion among industrial users. Id. at 2-4, 5-1, 6-1. EPA’s recommended process also includes consideration of businesses’ ability to meet them. The agency’s guidance recommends POTWs perform a “common -sense assessment” of whether any local limits a re technologically achievable and sensible considering actual conditions at the POTW. Id. at 6-13. EPA explains that “accurate site-specific data are critical to the development of sound, technically based limits.” Id. at 7-6. 3M thus asks that the City follow a framework designed to produce science -based local limits tailored to the City’s treatment system and objectives, as well as practical considerations for compliance. This approach would ensure that any PFO A or PFO S limits are risk-based and appropriately tailored to achieve the City’s objectives.

City Staff subsequently decided not to proceed with that purchase and issued a new Request For Bids on February 26, 2026. On April 1, 2026 five bids were received from three suppliers, as shown on the attached bid tabulation. The low bid was from Tractor Central for a John Deere 1550 with a 72-inch wide deck. City Staff recommend proceeding with the low bid.

Due to reorganization, the Mayor’s office has been relegated to a cubicle in the reception area of the Administration wing. City Staff feel this cubicle does not befit the Mayor’s position. City Staff issued a Request For Bids to construct a wall to separate a large conference room into a smaller conference room and a new Mayor’s office on March 11, 2026, which was sent to ten local contractors. Several contractors respectfully declined to bid and cited the diminutive size of the job and/or their current workload. On April 1, 2026 one bid was received, as shown on the attached bid tabulation. The bid was from Royal Construction of Eau Claire, WI in the amount of $7,687. Royal Construction is a reputable contractor. If the City Council wishes to proceed, the appropriate motion would be Award the City Hall Office Remodel Bid to Royal Construction at a cost of $7,687 (roll call vote). If the City Council does not wish to proceed with the project at this time, the appropriate motion would be Reject All Bids for the City Hall Office Remodel (simple majority).

Here are their bios: Adam Kohls, The Marion: Hello, I am the owner of the Marion building on Broadway. For the last few years, my family and I have been spending a considerable amount of time upgrading and updating that property. We're having a great time. I enjoy meeting and helping tenants and business owners nearby. I am a UW-Stout graduate. Spent 13 years in the veteran administration world, and nearly a decade in the Real Estate business. I’m excited for the opportunity to join the downtown board. Hannah Stewart, Silver Dollar: I graduated from St. Olaf in 2023 with a major in Studio Arts and a minor in Biology. I have worked in the restaurant industry for just about my entire life and really enjoy it! I enjoy working with people face to face and believe quite strongly in finding a way to make compromises and collaboration work. Hearing and understanding other people’s perspectives is important in keeping a community alive! Robb Jensen, LumberJax BakeHouse: My partner and I have owned a cabin on Tainter Lake for over 20 years. Three years ago we built our retirement home on our property and made Menomonie our full-time residence. A year later we converted the cabin into an Airbnb, hoping to create a place where visitors could experience and enjoy all that Menomonie has to offer. Professionally, I am an architect, interior designer, and project manager. These skills have proven valuable as my partner—a baker, chef, and author—and I work on our current passion project: opening LumberJax BakeHouse and Café in the heart of downtown Menomonie. As new building owners downtown, we are excited to contribute to the continued vitality and growth of the community. Personally, I look forward to contributing my professional experience and enthusiasm for the community to support the continued growth and vibrancy of downtown Menomonie. Thank you, Becca -- Becca Schoenborn Executive Director | She/Her Downtown Menomonie 503 Broadway St. S.

I realized when I left that I never gave you my email address or asked for yours. Hello, I am the owner of a small hearing aid practice (Sonal Hearing) with locations in Eau Claire and Greenwood Wisconsin. I love being my own boss and serving the members of the community and surrounding area. I moved from Eau Claire to Menomonie about a year and a half ago when I met my wife. She and I really enjoy going for walks in Menomonie and I like riding my bike when it's nice out. I am hoping to join the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee to continue the ef forts to make walking and riding in Menomonie safe and enjoyable while at the same time helping me to learn more about the community that I now live in.
