Improve and Maintain our Infrastructure/Facilities BACKGROUND The 2026 Electric Operations budget includes $30,000 for Distribution Equipment Painting as part of annual substation maintenance. ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS Routine maintenance of substation and distribution equipment, such as switchgear, includes cleaning, surface preparation, priming and painting to keep it in good condition. This helps equipment stay rust free and reduces deterioration, leading to longer equipment life. Due to the nature of substation and medium to high voltage equipment maintenance, there are very few qualified companies that do this type of painting. A request for quote was sent to Hess Sweitzer Painting, a local company, as they have done this work for us in the past and are considered Sole Source for this type of work. A proposal for $30,000 which covers an estimated 15 units at $2,000 each, was submitted. Scope of work includes property protection, surface preparation, primer and paint consistent with recommended products for this type of application. FINANCIAL IMPACT Proposal submitted in the amount of $30,000 for 15 units, which is the budgeted funding in the 2026 Electric Operations Substation Maintenance account. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION Motion to recommend to the Common Council award of the Distribution Equipment Painting work to Hess Sweitzer Painting in the amount of $30,000. SUGGE STED MOTION Consent Agenda Item: Motion to approve Consent Agenda. 3 P:\Committee and Council\UT Committee\2026\Resolution 26-R3382.docx RESOLUTION NO. 26-R3382 RESOLUTION APPROVING THE AWARD OF DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT PAINTING TO HESS SWEITZER PAINTING WHEREAS, the 2026 Electric Operations budget includes $30,000 for Distribution Equipment Painting as part of Substation Maintenance; and WHEREAS, Hess Sweitzer is the only local, qualified vendor for this specialty type of painting work; and WHEREAS, the Utility has used Hess Sweitzer Painting on previous work in the past to ensure equipment stays in good working condition; and WHEREAS, the proposed amount of $30,000 includes 15 units at $2,000 each is within the 2026 Electric Operations budget amount; and WHEREAS, Utility staff recommends the award of Distribution Equipment Painting to Hess Sweitzer Painting. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, the Common Council approves the award of Distribution Equipment Painting to Hess Sweitzer in the amount of $30,000. DATED: July 21, 2026 CITY OF OCONOMOWOC By: _______________________ Matt Rosek, Mayor ATTEST: _____________________ Gina Kozlik, Clerk 4 1 MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT - WASTEWATER Date: July 21, 2026 To: Mayor, Common Council and Utility Committee From: Tim Reel, Wastewater Operations Manager Re: Consider / act on Resolution 26-R3386, Replacement of Cellular Communication Devices RELATES TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN Strategic Goal- II. Improve and Maintain our Infrastructure/Facilities BACKGROUND Each of our 21 Lift Stations and 7 Flow Metering Vaults have communication devices responsible for transmitting information to the Utility on a routine basis. If communication is compromised, the most immediate concern would be an alarm condition. However, generator and pump runtimes along with level and flows are also communicated. Beginning in February of this year the Utility began having cellular communication connectivity issues with several lift stations in the NE region of our service area. Specifically, at NE Regional, Goldfinch and Lake Drive lift stations. At first, issues were intermittent. Then, they slowly began to increase in frequency until they were no longer working. During this time, we worked proactively with our current communication provider to improve the situation. Unfortunately, they did not appear to appreciate the urgency of the situation. The reality of having “no communication” is any alarm condition would go unnoticed, greatly increasing risk. We continued troubleshooting by increasing our presence at these locations, routinely re-booting systems, installing alternate antennae systems and had providers perform signal measurements. We quickly realized our current provider was not up to the task and began reaching out to alternative service providers. We have communicated with five outside vendors to learn about their offerings. We also learned of future long-term solutions which we will position ourselves for, more appropriately, over time. Continuing with a cellular system is the most cost-effective solution. Of the vendors we solicited two were willing to support us with a trial installation. These trials have been in place for approximately 3 months. One vendor had some issues while the other has been trouble free. In the meantime, our current provider shared they will no longer be supporting our existing equipment beyond 2026. As a result, and to avoid larger scale issues, we are interested in transitioning to an alternate system before years end. The preferred system is offered by Mission Communication, LLC which is represented by Synergy Sales & Service, Inc. Included in the estimate is a 3-year service package vs. an annual fee structure. Inherently, this costs more up front, but we will realize a 15% savings versus paying annually. Lastly, the installation costs are noted as a not to exceed value to ensure any challenges in the field are covered. However, we do expect to have some cost savings after conversations with the technician who will be installing the units. 5 2 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS The Utility did receive an additional quote of $152,965.00 for the other system trialed. However, this system did have connectivity issues during the trial and was not quoted with a 3-Year service contract. We have had several discussions and meetings with Mission Communication, LLC to ensure their ability to install and test all 28 sites by approximately Dec. 1, 2026. FINANCIAL IMPACT Funds for this project will utilize Capital Project Work Order #126013 which was designated to replace our SCADA system wholescale. This project will only deal with the Collection System portion. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend approval of the contract with Synergy Sales & Service, Inc. in the amount of $168,442.00. SUGGESTED MOTION Motion to approve Resolution 26-R3386. U:/COMMITTEE – Util/Recommendations/2026/Memo-Lift Station & Flow meter Communication Devices 6 RESOLUTION NO. 26-R3386 RESOLUTION FOR REPLACEMENT OF LIFT STATION COMMUNICIATION DEVICES WHEREAS, the City of Oconomowoc owns and operates twenty-one lift stations and seven flow metering vaults; and WHEREAS, ongoing communication is necessary to provide reliable mechanical operations for safety, health and administrative purposes; and WHEREAS, the Utility has experienced equipment failure at three sites and learned the current provider will no longer be supporting services beyond 2026; and WHEREAS, Utility staff has sought input from various equipment providers settling on two parties willing to provide in-field demonstration units for our comparison; and WHEREAS, Wastewater Staff has selected a preferred vendor with the capability to provide installation, start-up and 24 hr. support; and NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, a proposal, in the sum of $168,442.00, be accepted and the appropriate Wastewater representative is authorized to enter into a contract with Synergy Sales, LLC. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, work described in this resolution is within budget and cost allocations will be directed to Work Order #126013, Wastewater Utility account 601-573-7000- 810, Capital Equipment.

This is the second highest month on record, using readily available data going back to the start of 2009. The highest recorded month of sales was 97.2 million gallons in July 2012 during a significant drought that included urgent utility requests for customers to limit lawn watering. The current month was one of five times the utility exceeded 70 million gallons, and the first time in this level was reached in June. There is a timing difference between measurements for groundwater pumped (calendar month) and water sold to customers (based on the meter read date prior to the mid-month invoicing). When added to the rate increase implemented last October, the additional revenue will be helpful to the water utility for financing extensive recent (Well #8) and continuing (water main replacement) capital projects. The wastewater utility doesn’t have a proportionate increase in volume and revenue due to the summer lawn watering adjustment for residential customers. During the months of June to October, the wastewater volume invoiced is based on a residential customer’s off-season (February to April) average usage. 2027 Budget Preparation – Utility staff is actively working on accumulating the detail information needed to prepare the 2027 operating budget. This includes utility crew providing details on operating expense adjustments, reviewing changing trends in number of customers and average consumption, and the projected spending on current/future capital infrastructure projects. John Schuh, CPA Utility Accounting Manager 11 COMMITTEE REPORT – July 2026 Oconomowoc Electric Utility Did you know? Oconomowoc is 1 of 51 members belonging to WPPI Energy, a member-owned, not-for-profit, joint action agency allowing municipal electric utilities to operate their reliable and affordable electric systems. WPPI is responsible for securing wholesale power supply for the municipal utility members to re-sell to its customer base. It has a very diverse portfolio of generation and also offers cost- effective shared programs and forward-thinking services to allow the municipal utilities to operate with a suite of modern technologies, similar to large, investor-owned utilities. Starting this month, WPPI has asked its members to consider an extension of its current contract, set to expire 12/31/2055, by 18 years, thus extending the current contract period to 12/31/2073. This extension will allow WPPI to take advantage of long-term power supply and related opportunities that are expected to have a favorable impact on WPPI’s wholesale electric rates. Periodic contract extensions are a normal part of the WPPI business model. This extension enables WPPI to secure and finance long-term power supply resources so that WPPI is able to continue serving Oconomowoc’s utility reliability and at competitive and stable rates over the long term. Oconomowoc Utilities is in support of this action as we believe it is in our best interest moving forward.

Water Superintendent 14 Wastewater Utility Committee Report July 2026 I. Accomplishments: a. Septage/Receiving Bldg. – Project completion did not occur on June 19 th as planned. There are approximately 4 to 5 outstanding items needed from the contractor. b. Hydraulic Analysis – A DRAFT of the report has been received and discussed with the engineer. It indicates slope is a concern in five line segments. Per engineering this is not an immediate concern but would need to be addressed as the proposed service area approached full build out. c. We received six proposals for the Evaluation and Preliminary Design Project. These are being reviewed and ranked. Staff recommendations will be brought forward on August 4th. d. We have retained the services of an alternative contractor for the pending lateral repair at 305 S. Concord. By using cure in place lining technology we will be able to avoid excavation of the roadway. II. Upcoming Priorities: a. Work is ongoing on the chloride Source Reduction Measures (SRM) items for 2026. b. The Utility will be obtaining pricing from contractors to repair two communication (fiber) bore-through instances on S. Franklin Street. c. Staff are actively reviewing various maintenance software programs. Housing all equipment information, maintenance tasks and history in one location is very important to the long-term success and reliability of the Utility. This improvement was budgeted for in 2026. d. After several months of piloting alternatives and meeting with consultants Utility staff have selected a preferred provider for replacement of communication devices at lift station and flow meter vaults. This selection and a description of need will be shared on July 21. III. OWPP: a. The watershed protection program has made significant progress on the build out of our electronic data collection program. Additionally, safety checklists, operator/ manager forms, and the equipment SOP for the forestry equipment has been completed in electronic format. b.
