The Fire Department will also visit the Elementary School as part of the Fire Prevention Month activities. Machotka also reported that two of the six Fire Department officer positions are subject to annual appointment. At the end of September, Machotka and Camden Parmen will be required to reapply for their respective positions. DANE COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE: No report was submitted to the Village Board. Erickson noted that he has requested from Dane County stats on time-of-day type of calls. VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT. Erickson's report was included in the meeting packet. He noted a couple items not on the report. Staff and Town and Country Engineering met with representatives from the Dane County Highway Department to discuss the proposed County Highway Y project, currently anticipated for 2028. Under Dane County’s current approach, highway projects located within a municipality require a 50/50 cost share between the County and the municipality, generally followed by a jurisdictional transfer of the highway to the municipality. During previous discussions with Dane County dating back to 2023, the Village has indicated that it is unwilling to participate in the project on a 50/50 cost-share basis. Under an existing agreement, the Village will be responsible for 10% of the bridge costs, as well as the cost of any Village utility work associated with the project. The original bridge cost estimates included approximately $321,000 for construction and $54,000 for engineering, with those costs initially anticipated to be split equally between Dane County and the Village for budgeting purposes. These figures were identified as preliminary amounts for budgeting purposes. A revised agreement reflecting the current project costs and proposed funding structure has not yet been signed by the Village. Public Works Director Report. Statz’s report was included in the meeting packet. Statz went into more detail on the Crescent Street project. • The Crescent Street project is progressing, with the pipe and storm sewer work completed. The contractor is currently working on cutting the subgrade. The curb crew is anticipating arrival a little later than expected, around Oct 5, which may affect the anticipated paving schedule. Village Utility work will be buried following the completion of the curb work. TDS notified the Village of plans to install fiber-optic infrastructure throughout the Village. Given the current construction on Crescent Street, TDS requested the opportunity to complete the fiber-optic installation along Crescent Street while the roadway is under construction. Library Director Report. The Library Director report was included in the meeting packet. Clerk/Treasurer Report. The Clerk/Treasurer report was included in the meeting packet . Vanguard Report. The Vanguard report was included in the packet. Old Business (The following items may have action taken). None NEW BUSINESS (The following items may have action taken) a. Discuss and act on Resolution 2026-06 “Resolution Appointing Authorized Representative to File Applications for Financial Assistance from the State Of Wisconsin Environmental Improvement Fund.” Lisa Twarog (Town & County Engineering) discussed this resolution pertains to the Clean Water Fund application for Dane Iowa Wastewater Treatment Plant. Each of the three communities are working on the applications which are due 9/30/26. A community representative is a requirement for the application. The Village’s authorized representative is Erickson, Village Administrator, due to his position on the Dane Iowa Wastewater Commission. Motion by Marx, second by Forseth to approve Resolution 2026-06. Motion carried unanimously. b. Discuss and act on Resolution 2026-07 “Declaration of Official Intent to Reimburse Expenditures for Clean Water Fund Program (CWFP Projects).” Lisa Twarog noted that this is another requirement of the Clean Water Fund application. The resolution states if the Clean Water Fund money is delayed, the Village will find another way to pay until it is able to be reimbursed by the Clean Water Fund. The work will start at the Dane Iowa Wastewater Treatment Plant in 2027 but the first loan payment is expected to be due until May of 2028 or 2029. Motion by Westerlund, second by Lindorfer to approve Resolution 2026-07. Motion carried unanimously. c. Pay request from Meise Construction. Erickson and Reid confirmed the amount is consistent with work that has been completed. Motion by Peterson, second by Marx to approve pay request 1 from Meise Construction in the amount of $348,310.85. Motion carried unanimously. d. Discuss Dane County Highway and Transportation’s 2028 Hwy Y/Brodhead St project. This was discussed during the Village Administrator Report. e. Discuss and act on Resolution 2026-08 Exemption from Dane County Library Tax. Beil noted to the board this is an annual resolution. Erickson noted this is an annual Resolution request for the Mazomanie Free Library. Motion by Forseth, second Westerlund to approve Resolution 2026-08. Motion carried unanimously. f. Discuss and act on the issuance of a Temporary Alcohol Beverage License Application, Open Carry of Alcohol within the events, and street closure for Brodhead St and Crescent St for the Mazo Night Market for 10/15/2026 (rescheduled from the July 16) and any additional rescheduled dates as necessary. Motion to approve by Lindorfer, second by Peterson. Motion carried unanimously. g. Approve Operator Licenses. Erickson noted there are no issues with the applicants’ backgrounds that would prevent the issuance of licenses. Motion to approve by Marx, second by Forseth. Motion carried unanimously. h. Discussion with Republic Services. Gabe Filardo, Municipal Manager with Republic Services, introduced himself to the Board and provided an update on the Village’s services. Beil noted that services have been improving and that Village staff have been receiving fewer calls from residents regarding collection issues. Filardo stated that he has been with Republic Services for approximately seven weeks and has seen improvements during that time. He identified areas of focus, including increasing communication with Village staff and improving truck maintenance and availability. Filardo explained that Republic Services experienced several truck issues during the transition to the company, which contributed to service disruptions. He noted that the company is working to improve its fleet and emphasized that safety is Republic Services’ top priority. As part of its hiring process, the company conducts background checks, which resulted in a shortage of drivers during the transition. Republic Services is currently training new drivers; some drivers are still becoming familiar with the Village and surrounding communities, which has contributed to missed collections. Republic Services is also working on route changes intended to improve collection efficiency. Filardo noted that the company is exploring an app that would allow residents to track collection vehicles and receive notifications regarding truck locations and weather-related delays. No implementation date has been established at this time. Erickson identified the primary concerns from residents regarding Republic Services: missed collections; partially completed collections; materials remaining in or around toters rather than being fully collected; and hydraulic fluid leaks from collection vehicles. Filardo acknowledged the Village’s concerns and stated that Republic Services is continuing to work toward improving service. COMMITTEE REPORTS (The following items may have action taken) a. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE – (Forseth). Forseth noted that the reviews are nearing completion. Once finalized, salary increases will be determined and provided to Erickson for the budget. b. PUBLIC WORKS & PROPERTY (Marx). Marx noted nothing at this time for Public Works & Protection. c. PARKS & RECREATION COMMITTEE (Beil). Beil noted that the Village needs to host Parkitecture + Planning for the Public Information Meeting. d. PUBLIC PROTECTION & ORDINANCE COMMITTEE (Martinez). i. Discuss and act on the repeal and the recreation of Chapter 31 Court, Municipal. Erickson noted when the courts merged (Black Earth and Mazomanie) the intergovernmental agreement stated that both municipalities needed to adopt the same language. The Public Protection & Ordinance Committee met and reviewed all updates and approved the recreation of the ordinance which has been included in the materials. Motion by Westerlund, second by Marx to approve the repeal and the recreation of Chapter 31 regarding Municipal Court. Motion carried unanimously. i. FINANCE COMMITTEE (Beil). Finance Committee meeting was held prior to the Village Board meeting. Beil noted that Finance is scheduled to meet next week. A draft budget will be presented at the October Village Board meeting. ii. Payment of Bills. Motion by Marx, second by Froseth to pay the bills. Motion carried unanimously. Angie noted that she included a check register in the packet and will continue that process moving forward. e. PLAN COMMISSION (Beil). The Plan Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, September 21, at 5:00 p.m. Erickson noted that the agenda includes a Conditional Use Permit and the kickoff of the housing study. f. PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION (Marx). Marx noted that the commission met on 9/1. i. Discuss and act on Ehlers proposal to remove fire hydrant rental from the tax levy and apply the fee to monthly utility bills. Erickson explained that the Village historically included public fire protection, including fire hydrants, as part of the property tax levy. Several years ago, this cost shifted to utility billing; however, the Village has continued to fund approximately $177,000 annually through the property tax levy. Erickson noted that the current approach does not distribute the cost equally among users, as public properties such as the Village building, churches, and the Turk Shelter do not pay property taxes but still utilize fire hydrants. The proposed approach would establish a monthly charge based on meter size, distributing the cost among utility customers. Erickson also explained that the proposed change aligns with the Public Utilities Committee’s discussions regarding water loss, including water used for firefighting and water lost due to leaks. Under the proposed structure, these costs would be distributed more evenly among water utility users rather than property taxpayers. The Utility Commission approved moving forward with the Ehlers Proposal. Erickson noted that the proposed change could not be implemented until 2028, allowing the Village additional time to review the proposal. Erickson noted that removing public fire protection costs from the property tax levy would provide the Village Board with additional flexibility to use those levy dollars for other operational needs. He noted that approximately $177,000 of the Village’s $890,000 tax levy is currently allocated to public fire protection and that most daily Village operations are funded through miscellaneous revenue and state aid. Erickson also noted that most municipalities do not include public fire protection costs in the property tax levy. Motion by Forseth, second by Lindorfer, to approve $3,500 for Ehlers to complete the report and necessary requirements. Motion carried unanimously. g. HISTORIC PRESERV ATION COMMITTEE (Martinez). Nothing. h. VISIONARY ALLIANCE (Peterson). Peterson noted that the marketing group recently met. Lindorfer reported that the group developed a formal request outlining responsibilities for social media and created a list of potential content ideas. The group will discuss these items further at its October meeting i. V ANGUARD COMMISSION (Marx). Marx noted that the meeting was postponed until November, as there were no pressing items requiring discussion. j. DANE IOWA WASTEWATER COMMISSION (Erickson). Erickson noted that the Dane Iowa Wastewater Commission will meet this week and held an emergency meeting the previous week to address the costs associated with replacing two critical manholes. The replacements are expected to be costly, with approximately $251,000 being funded through the District’s Capital Improvement and Replacement accounts. Erickson also provided an update on the upcoming facility upgrade. The 60% design estimate came in higher than originally anticipated, increasing from approximately $11.3 million to $14.4 million. The project is not expected to exceed the $14.4 million estimate, as most costs are known. The Village of Mazomanie’s share is based on usage and is currently estimated at approximately $4.4 to $4.5 million. Erickson noted that the increase in sewer rates is intended to help generate the revenue needed to fund the project. The Village has a strong sewer cash fund balance and expects to use available cash toward its share, reducing the amount that will need to be financed through a revenue bond. Erickson stated that additional information will be provided as the project progresses toward the final bid. k. DISTRICT ONE EMS (Forseth). Forseth noted that District One has an approved budget. A special meeting was held in August, and the budget was formally approved at the meeting held last week. Announcements. • Sept 18; Night Market • Sept 26; Mazo LIVE concert • Erickson noted that we have two deputies working regular shifts now. Beil noted that it was nice to have the coverage during Wild West Days. Motion by Marx, second by Peterson to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 5:50pm Angie Volkman, Clerk/Treasurer Village Administrator Report 10-13-2026 AGENDA ITEMS: Pay Request from Meise Construction for Crescent Street Project Meise Construction has not provided an amount at the time of my report.

Resolution 2026-09 Participation in the WEDC Connect Communities Program WEDC requires a letter of support or a resolution issued by the governing body as part of the application process. The application will be submitted by 10/16. Final TID Audit and Payment to Overlying Districts. TIF #4 closed with a surplus of $477,788. The following refunds are due to the overlying districts: • Dane County: $69,324 • WHSD: $251,678 • MATC: $16,910 • Mazomanie: $139,876 Extraterritorial Rezone Petition for Barsness.

Debt Service: $534,750 which covers all existing principal and interest for the General Fund. Wages and benefits have been included in the budget based on the Personnel and Finance Committee’s recommendation. Village Property and Liability insurance increased by approximately $5,000 due to new equipment and property. There was a reduction in revenue from the closure of TIF 4 and the transportation aid program. A Public Hearing will occur at the November Village Board meeting prior to the adoption of the 2027 General Fund Budget. Discuss and act on the appointment of Fire Chief The Fire Department Interview Panel recommended Chief Machotka to remain the Fire Chief. The Personnel Committee met on 10/1 and supports the appointment consistent with the terms outlined in the Fire Department’s Bylaws (term of 3 years). Resolution 2026-10 Authorizing the Release of Utility Easements The release of the utility and stormwater easements on Lot 14 & 15 in Pheasant Ridge Run subdivision continue to satisfy the contingencies as part of the permanent occupancy at 509 Ridge Drive. The final contingency for 509 Ridge Drive will be the permanent relocation of the five-foot access path to the dedicated parkland. This will require a court order and will likely take several months to complete. Implementation policy for Village Social Media Accounts. Key implementation challenges for the Village’s social media policy include assigning a dedicated staff member to manage daily operations and identifying and committing to appropriate government social media training. ======================================== PLANNING: Evergreen Lumber Treatment is in the process of purchasing the former Wick Properties. The office building is not included in the purchase agreement. The Plan Commission will review the land division and rezoning requests at its October 19th meeting. Staff, Vierbicher, and Town & Country Engineering met on Tuesday, October 6 th to discuss the potential annexation, future TIF opportunities, industrial development, and Village expansion. Plans for a potential water main connection to Dane Iowa Wastewater Treatment Facility have encountered a setback. The Wisconsin Southern Railroad denied DIWWTF’s request to install the water main within the right-of-way. A secondary option involved an easement or purchasing approximately 1 acre of land from Simeon Wolf. Negotiations have become cost-prohibitive, with Simeon Wolf requesting $85,000 to obtain an easement. Comparable utility easements range from $7,000 - $10,000. As a result, DIWWTF will pursue installation of a second well. A Public Information Meeting regarding the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan and Housing Study will be held on Thursday, October 22. The meeting will provide residents with an opportunity to share their opinions and provide input regarding Village parks, recreational opportunities, and housing needs. ======================================== STAFF: Dayna Dreis (Library Aide) will be resigning effective October 17 th. Dayna has been with the Village for nearly 6 years. The library will be conducting a hiring process to replace Dayna’s hours, 12-15 hours every 2 weeks. Reviews for all staff have been completed. A 6-month goal review and setting will occur in February 2027. ======================================== CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: Sidewalks and curb and gutters were poured the week of October 5 th. Paving will occur during the week of October 12th. ======================================== INNOVATION GRANT: The second phase of the Innovation Grant (IG) process opened on October 1. Following participation in the Wisconsin Department of Revenue’s webinar regarding the program, the Village intends to pursue an Innovation Grant for the Dane County Sheriff’s contract. If awarded, the Village of Mazomanie and the Village of Black Earth could receive reimbursement equal to 25% of the annual contract costs for four years. Grant funds may be utilized at the discretion of each municipality. The deadline to submit the grant application is December 31, 2026. The Village will likely pursue a second Innovation Grant in early 2027, pending the outcome of discussions regarding a new Fire District. The application deadline for that grant cycle is March 31, 2027. ======================================== WELL #3 (Roundy’s Parking Lot) Staff have met with Town & Country Engineering, CTW Wells, and several contractors to develop plans for a rehab of Well #3. The Village saw a significant savings on the Revenue Bond for the substation. There is approximately $700,000 available that could be allocated to help fund the rehab. ======================================== HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION: The HPC issued a Certificate of Appropriateness for 38 Crescent Street (Parkin Inn) for a reroof, painting (Crescent St) and siding (Hudson St). ======================================== FIRE DEPARTMENT/FIRE ENGINE: The Fire Department has identified a 2008 Spartan Pumper located in Pennsylvania for potential purchase. The apparatus has approximately 13,000 miles and is listed for $175,000. Direction has been provided to develop the anticipated total cost of acquiring the engine to include outfitting it with the necessary equipment, applying the Fire Department decals, transporting personnel and apparatus to WI. The Fire Department estimates that the pumper truck would have approximately eight years of remaining useful service life. It would become the first apparatus for replacement; however, this would keep the replacement schedule in a 10-year cycle. ======================================== PRIVATE BRIDGE INSTALLED AT 109 STATE ST: The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has been in contact with Scott Stokes regarding a bridge that was installed on his property without the required permitting. If the DNR approves the necessary permit, the Village will need to review the bridge for compliance with the Village’s Floodplain Zoning Ordinance and determine whether any additional local approvals or requirements apply. ======================================== MEETINGS/EVENTS: • Joint Review Board 10/1 • Personnel Committee 10/1 • Visionary Alliance 10/5 • Finance Committee 10/13 • Village Board 10/13 • Mazo Night Market 10/15 • Plan Commission 10/19 • Utilities Commission 10/20 • In-Person Absentee Voting 10/20 – 10/30 • DIWC 10/22 • CORP & Housing Study PIM 10/22 • Office open until 5:00pm on Friday, October 30 per state statute for Absentee Voting • Halloween Trick-or-Treat Public Works Director Report 10-13-2026 2027 Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Prioritization • We are collecting bids for replacing the John Deere mower, 2008 patrol truck, and 2017 utility truck or the 2012 one-ton truck. I will be interested in hearing continued feedback from the committees and Village Board on how we should prioritize these replacements. • If we follow the replacement schedule DPW has put together, all vehicles are due for replacement. However, I do not feel we should replace them all in the same year. • The Patrol Truck is a major lynch pin in our snow removal fleet and should be replaced before the new round of emissions protocols goes into effect in 2027. • Of The two smaller trucks, the 2017 utility truck would be less expensive to get started with, while the 2012 one-ton is the older vehicle. Both vehicles have maintenance needs that would need to be addressed if we continue to keep them in service. 2012 one-ton: Will need brakes and a power steering pump. 2017 utility truck: Will need new tires before winter. • Based on feedback we have received so far we are looking at purchasing the John Deere Mower, Plow Truck, Utility Truck, and a Kubota side by side in 2027. Water Utility • We are in talks with Town and Country, CTW wells, and a few contractors on how to best go about rehabbing the well 3 well house. • Hydrocorp has begun commercial/industrial cross connection inspections in the past month • Water infrastructure on Crescent St. is complete. Lake Marion/Bluff Park • Wiscorps are scheduled to come in the week of November 2nd to work on bluff park around the shelter area. Street Maintenance • The last week we have been working on grading and compacting the road surfaces of the village alleys to get rid of the wash boarding and potholes. • We will be prepared when the leaves begin to fall. Using two trucks to haul leaves should make pickup faster and more efficient. • Crescent St. is nearing completion, by the time of the meeting, curb and sidewalk should be complete, and prepping for paving should be underway. DIRECTOR’S REPORT – 09/23/26 INFORMATION • Sep 8, visit from Feist Vocational Counseling & Placement, Day Program.

LIBRARY PROGRAMS • September 17, Author talk, Bill Stokes, Ah, the Women! Stokes is a retired journalist who wrote columns and feature articles for four different newspapers–including The Chicago Tribune, during a 35-year career. He has authored several books including; Margaret’s War and Trout Friends. MEETINGS AND WEBINARS ATTENDED • September 9 (in-person), Wisconsin Book Festival Early Release Reception, Madison Public Library. Authors and book titles were announced that will be speaking at the 25th annual Fall Celebration to be held Oct. 15-18, 2026 at multiple venues in Madison. All events are free and open to the public. • September 9 (in-person), Friends of the Library met, I was unable to attend this meeting. • September 19 (in-person), Dane County Library Services, Belleville Public Library. All 20 libraries in Dane County were in attendance as well as Shannon Schultz, Director SCLS. o The main item for discussion was to discuss the recent system migration to the Sirsi/Dynix SymphonyWeb platform. Many concerns and issues were raised, including; periodic system slowness and pauses, lack of reports for collection of data and this needs to be a high priority item, concern in confidence of circulation statistics some libraries showing large differences from prior platform, lack of ability to change an item’s home library which includes our ABC (Audio Book Circuit) collection. SCLS is a bit of a ‘unicorn’ in that we have a lot larger circulation volume and customized processes that is taking time of Sirsi to adapt and modify. There are not a lot of platform options in the library marketplace and is felt this is the best alternative for the choices that we had. Siris is being very responsive in working with SCLS and they have weekly check-in meetings. o Ideas were discussed for collection development and the future of various forms of media (DVDs, CDs, audio books…). With more streaming services and streaming services increasing their subscription fees there may be a resurgence to DVD/BluRay usage. Idea to possibly have DVD/BluRay and portable CD players for check out. One Pensylvania library is promoting itself as the new Blockbuster. There is increase usage in other technology; Wonderbooks & VOX digitally enabled books, and Yoto Mini and Toniebox (screen-free audio players for kids that keep children independently engaged with music, audiobooks, and podcasts, like the modern version of an old-school Walkman or Discman.) Other sources for library media discussed; Ingram and Libraria. o Discussion of the ‘Science of Reading’ (links to several online articles was provided). Concerns about the attention spans of readers, both youth and adult. Libraries need to focus locally on areas of high interest. Suggestion to form and ALL-age Summer Reading Program involving youth and adults together (need to look into “Read Squared” for individuals to track their reading progress. Recommended to connect with schools and parents in order to supplement resources of schools and school libraries. 10/6/26 Vanguard Report – Mazomanie Activities New Circuit Upgrades The crew has completed the underground excavation and installed the pipes and wires needed for the new circuit upgrades. Box setting and wire terminations are currently in progress. Substation Annual Review & Inspection Both substations received their annual testing last week by Hi Voltage Equipment Diagnostics Inc. The inspection included infrared testing, oil sampling, and vibration monitoring. We are still awaiting the final test results. These diagnostics help us plan long-term maintenance, determine when major rebuilds may be necessary, and identify minor issues—such as heating connections—that can be corrected before they lead to larger failures. Crescent Street All piping is now in place for the Crescent Street lighting project. We coordinated with the TDS contractor to joint-trench portions of the work, reducing overall project cost. Our crew installed the remaining sections. Plastic Ingenuity Preparations continue for Plastic Ingenuity’s new service. J&R Underground is expected next week to install a pipe beneath their driveway, allowing our crew to take off from that point once complete. 405 Walter Road – Former Wick Buildings Site Power has been reestablished at 405 Walter Road using a temporary transformer until permanent sizing requirements are finalized. A meeting was held with the potential buyers to review future power needs. A plan has been established, and I will work with them on customer cost responsibilities and preparation for execution. New Meters Several electric meters are no longer communicating with the drive-by read system. We have begun replacing these units with new meters. Secondary Services Several new services are scheduled for installation in the coming weeks, pending customer readiness: • Emily Road – 4-unit • Duplex on Lichte Drive • Two houses on Lichte Drive • North Street – Charter Communications Kurt Meier – Superintendent Vanguard Electric VILLAGE OF MAZOMANIE RESOLUTION NO 2026-09 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE VILLAGE OF MAZOMANIE TO APPLY FOR AND PARTICIPATE IN THE WISCONSIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’S (WEDC) CONNECT COMMUNITIES PROGRAM WHEREAS, the Village of Mazomanie seeks to become a member of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation’s (WEDC) Connect Communities Program; and WHEREAS, participation in the Connect Communities will provide the Village with opportunities to engage in community development and economic development activities through WEDC; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Village Board of the Village of Mazomanie supports the application to participate in the WEDC Connect Communities Program.

Angie Volkman, Clerk/Treasurer Dated: VILLAGE OF MAZOMANIE TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING (TIF) DISTRICT NO. 4 From Date of Creation (September 27, 2005) Through December 9, 2025 Johnson Block & Company, Inc. Certified Public Accountants 2500 Business Park Road Mineral Point, Wisconsin 53565 (608) 987-2206 Page 1 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Village Board Village of Mazomanie, Wisconsin Opinion We have audited the accompanying historical summary financial statements of the Village of Mazomanie Tax Incremental Financing District No. 4 (the “District”), which comprise the Historical Summary of Project Costs, Project Revenues and Net Costs to be Recovered Through Tax Increments and the related Historical Summary of Sources, Uses and Status of Funds from the date the District was created through December 9, 2025 and the related notes to the historical summary financial statements. In our opinion, the historical summary financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net project costs to be recovered through tax increments of the District as of December 9, 2025, and the sources, uses, and status of funds from the creation date of the District through December 9, 2025, in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue as described in Note 1. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Historical Summary Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the District and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis of Matter The historical summary financial statements present only the transactions of the District and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the Village of Mazomanie and the changes in its financial position in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Page 2 Responsibilities of Management for the Historical Summary Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these historical summary financial statements in accordance with the financial reporting provisions of the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of historical summary financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the historical summary financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the District’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months beyond the historical summary financial statement date, including any currently know information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter. On December 9, 2025, the Village of Mazomanie terminated the District. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the historical summary financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the historical summary financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the historical summary financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the historical summary financial statements. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Page 3 Required Supplementary Information Management has omitted a management’s discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the historical summary financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of the historical summary financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the historical summary financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the historical summary financial statements is not affected by this missing information. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements We have also issued our report dated September 23, 2026 on our tests of its compliance with Wisconsin State Statutes Section 66.1105. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on compliance. Johnson Block & Company, Inc.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accounting policies of the Village of Mazomanie, Wisconsin Tax Incremental District No. 4 (the “District”) conform to accounting principles as applicable to governmental units and as outlined by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue as it pertains to tax incremental financing districts. The Village of Mazomanie uses the criteria set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board to determine the scope of the reporting entity of Tax Incremental District No. 4. The accompanying financial statements reflect all the significant operations of the Village of Mazomanie Tax Incremental District No. 4. A. Description of Fund Structure This report contains the financial information of the Village of Mazomanie Tax Incremental District No. 4. The District was created under the provisions of Wisconsin Statute Section 66.1105. The purpose of that section is to allow a municipality to recover development and improvements costs in a designated area from the property taxes generated on the increased value of the property after the creation date of the District. The tax on the increased value is called a tax increment. The statutes allow the municipality to collect tax increments until the net project cost has been fully recovered, or until the net project cost has been fully recovered, or maximum life based on type of TID, whichever occurs first. Project costs uncollected at the dissolution date are absorbed by the Village of Mazomanie. Last Date Final Creation to Incur Dissolution Date Project Costs Date TID No. 4 September 27, 2005 September 27, 2020 December 9, 2025 During 2025, the Village adopted an affordable housing resolution for District #4. The allowable life of District #4 was extended from September 27, 2025 to January 14, 2026. VILLAGE OF MAZOMANIE TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING (TIF) DISTRICT NO. 4 Notes to Financial Statements December 9, 2025 Page 7 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) B. Basis of Accounting The modified accrual basis of accounting was followed in the preparation of these statements. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, i.e. both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. Project costs, other than interest on long-term debt, are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, or when construction funds are transferred to an irrevocable escrow account for purposes of completing projects. District increments are recorded as revenues in the year due. Intergovernmental aids and grants are recognized as revenues in the period the related expenditures are incurred, if applicable, or when the Village is entitled to the aids. Special assessments are recorded when collected. Annual installments due in future years are accounted for as receivables and deferred inflows. Other general revenues are recognized when received in cash or when measurable and available under the criteria described above. C. Measurement Focus The measurement focus of all governmental funds is the funds flow concept. Under the funds flow concept, sources and uses of financial resources, including capital outlays, debt proceeds and debt retirements are reflected in operations. Resources not available to finance expenditures and commitments of the current period are recognized as deferred inflow or nonspendable fund balance. Liabilities for claims, judgments, compensated absences and pension contributions which will not be currently liquidated using expendable available financial resources are shown in the Village’s basic financial statements. The related expenditures are recognized when the liabilities are liquidated. D. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. E. Project Plan Budgets The estimated revenues and expenditures of the District are adopted in the project plans. Those estimates are for the entire life of the District, and may not be comparable to results presented in this report. VILLAGE OF MAZOMANIE TAX INCREMENTAL FINANCING (TIF) DISTRICT NO. 4 Notes to Financial Statements December 9, 2025 Page 8 NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) F. Long-term Debt Proceeds of long-term debt issues not recorded as fund liabilities are reflected as “Sources of Funds” in the operating statement of the recipient fund. Retirement of these issues is reported as an expenditure in the year in which the debt matures or is repaid, whichever is earlier. G. Claims and Judgments Claims and judgments are recorded as liabilities if all the conditions of Governmental Accounting Standard Board pronouncements are met. Claims and judgments that would normally be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are recorded during the year as expenditures in the governmental funds. If they are not liquidated with expendable available financial resources, a liability is recorded in the statement of net position. The related expenditure is recognized when the liability is liquidated. NOTE 2. LONG-TERM DEBT All general obligation notes and bonds payable are backed by the full faith and credit of the Village. Notes and bonds borrowed to finance District expenditures were retired by tax increments. During the term of TIF District No. 4, the Village of had multiple debt issues that had allocable portions to the District. The amounts allocated to TIF District No. 4 have all been repaid. NOTE 3. REFUND TO OVERLYING DISTRICTS The refund to overlying districts was calculated based on increments collected in excess of project costs using the ratio of tax levies in the 2024 tax roll (payable 2025). The refunds will be distributed as follows: Dane County, Wisconsin 69,324$ WI Heights School District 251,678 Madison Area Technical College 16,910 Village of Mazomanie 139,876 477,788$ Page 9 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON OT HER LEGAL AND REGULATORY RE QUIREMENTS T o the Village Board Village of Mazomanie Da ne County, Wisconsin We have audited the accompanying historical summary financial statements of the Village of Mazomanie Tax Incremental Financing District No. 4 (the “District”), which comprise the Historical Summary of Project Costs, Project Revenues, and Net Costs to be Recovered Through Tax Increments and the related Historical Summary of Sources, Uses, and Status of Funds as of December 9, 2025 and from the date the District was created through December 9, 2025, and have issued our report thereon dated September 23, 2026.

Implementation of Village Social Media Policy, Guidelines and Goals Purpose The Village has established a Social Media Policy to provide clear guidelines for the use and management of official Village social-media accounts. We are now requesting Board approval to move forward with implementation of the policy. What We Are Requesting We are asking the Village Board to approve the following: 1. Designate a Village employee to manage the Village’s official social-media accounts. • The designated employee would be responsible for the day-to-day management of the accounts in accordance with the Village’s adopted Social Media Policy. • This would include creating and publishing Village information, sharing community updates, monitoring comments and messages, and coordinating information received from Village departments. 2. Provide municipal social-media training to the designated employee. • Because an official Village social-media account is a government communication platform, we recommend that the employee receive training specifically designed for municipalities. • Training should include: o Wisconsin public-records requirements o Open Meetings Law o First Amendment considerations o Comment moderation o Records retention o Appropriate use of official versus personal accounts o Handling public comments and complaints o Social-media security o Crisis and emergency communication o Municipal communication best practices • The League of Wisconsin Municipalities offers municipal-specific social-media training, and the Wisconsin Public Records Board provides guidance regarding government social-media records. 3. Establish official Village social-media accounts. Following Board approval and training, the designated employee would establish and/or organize the Village’s official social-media presence. The accounts should be established using Village-controlled contact information and remain the property of the Village. 4. Establish appropriate administrative access. Administrative access and account recovery information should be maintained by the Village rather than being tied solely to one individual. Authorized users would be established in accordance with the Village’s Social Media Policy. Why This Is Important The Village already has a policy in place. The next step is to make sure the policy can be implemented correctly and consistently. Having one trained employee responsible for day-to-day social-media management provides: • Consistency in Village communication • Clear accountability • Professional and timely communication • Proper handling of public comments • Better protection of public records • Continuity when elected officials or employees change • Improved communication with residents • A clear separation between official Village communication and personal social- media activity This also eliminates uncertainty about who is responsible for posting, maintaining the accounts and responding to social-media activity. Proposed Process Upon Board approval: Step 1: Designate the Village employee responsible for social media. Step 2: Register the employee for appropriate municipal social-media training. Step 3: Establish the official Village accounts using Village-controlled information. Step 4: Provide the employee with the necessary administrative access. Step 5: Implement the Village’s adopted Social Media Policy. Step 6: Begin regular Village communication through the official accounts. Overview of Responsibilities Village Board → establishes policy/oversight Administrator/Clerk → controls account and authorization Designated Social Media Administrator → creates/posts content Departments/employees → provide information to the administrator Village Board • Approves the overall communication/social-media policy • Has oversight • Does not individually control passwords or routinely create posts Village Administrator/Clerk • Official custodian/administrator of the accounts • Maintains passwords and account access • Authorizes who can post • Makes sure records are retained Designated Social Media/Communications Administrator • Actually runs the Facebook/Instagram/etc. • Creates graphics and posts • Posts Village announcements, events, road closures, meetings, projects, community information, etc. • Monitors messages/comments during designated hours • Refers complaints, legal issues and public-records requests to the appropriate Village official Department heads/employees • Send information/photos/events to the Social Media Administrator • Do not independently create accounts representing the Village • Do not change passwords or remove content Village-owned accounts → owned by the Village, not an employee, elected official or volunteer. Account administrator → designated by the Village Administrator/Board. Authorized posters → specifically named individuals. Passwords → maintained by the Village, not someone’s personal email or personal Facebook account. Content → informational and governmental—not personal, political or promotional for individual officials. Comments → handled according to an established moderation policy. Records → posts, messages and applicable comments retained according to Wisconsin records requirements. Training → anyone with authority to post receives municipal social-media/public-records training. Goal of Social Media Accounts: The goal is simple: Create an official, professional and consistent social-media presence for the Village that is managed by a trained employee and operated according to the policy already adopted by the Village. This will give residents a reliable place to receive accurate Village information while providing the Village with a clear and sustainable process for managing its online communication. Increased transparency and communication with village residents. Posting Cadence Consistency in posting is more important than the number of posts per week. Determine the number of posts per week that can be realistically executed consistently. Examples of Content Pillars Inform: “What residents need to know.” • Updates on shorter-term village projects, street closures, property tax due date and voting reminders • Ordinance changes • Links to village resources • Could repurpose information from the newsletter for this content pillar Show: “Here’s what your village government is doing.” • Longer-term initiatives (example: housing study, Connect Communities program, etc) • Updates on longer-term projects • Before/after photos of projects Celebrate: “Here’s what makes our community special.” • Local events (Wild West Days, Music, Gandy Dancer, Night Market) • Profile village residents making an impact • Highlight different trails, rec programs, seasonal activities • Local business spotlight (could partner with the Chamber for this) • History and heritage - share historic photos of landmarks, people (could work with the Mazo Historical Society for this) Involve: “Here’s how residents can participate and have a voice.” • Surveys, working groups, volunteer opportunities • Share information on when board meetings are, how public comment works Humanize: “Here are the people who make the village work.” • Feature profiles on village employees, village president, and board members Requested Board Action We respectfully request that the Village Board approve: 1. Designation of a Village employee to administer the Village’s official social-media accounts. 2. Authorization for that employee to participate in appropriate municipal social- media training. 3. Authorization to establish and/or administer official Village social-media accounts. 4. Authorization to establish the necessary Village-controlled account information and administrative access in accordance with the adopted Social Media Policy. The Municipality - October 2026 | 18 WHEN GOVERNMENT GETS SOCIAL Navigating Municipal Social Media Use Whether it’s news of a road closure, community event, or snow emergency, social media has become one of the primary ways residents hear from their local government. Many municipalities and local officials run social media accounts. Used well, these accounts share information quickly, build public trust, and engage residents who never attend a village board or common council meeting but check social media regularly. Social media platforms may feel informal, but the laws that apply to them are not. Government use of social media implicates three primary areas of law: the First Amendment, the open meetings law, and the public records law. Of these, the First Amendment raises the most questions and carries the greatest liability exposure. The First Amendment The First Amendment restricts the government’s ability to regulate speech. 1 In the social media context, actions like hiding or deleting comments and blocking users may be challenged as improper restrictions on speech. How much control a municipality has over protected speech depends heavily on where the speech occurs – i.e., what type of forum it occurs in. In most forums, the government cannot regulate speech based on content, and it may never regulate a speaker’s viewpoint regardless of forum. Content-based restrictions are categorical; certain subjects may be off limits while others are allowed. Viewpoint discrimination is a restriction that favors or disfavors a particular opinion within a subject. A regulation that turns on whether a comment is critical or complimentary is a strong sign of unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. The type of forum dictates whether content-based regulation is permitted. There are four classifications: traditional public forums, designated public forums, limited public forums, and non-public forums. A traditional public forum is property that has historically been associated with expressive activity, such as streets and parks. 2 Designated public forums are spaces not traditionally open for expressive activity but that the government has intentionally opened for expression.3 In traditional and designated public forums, content-based regulation of speech is presumptively unconstitutional, and courts will likely strike down any content-based restriction. However, reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions are permitted if they are content neutral, narrowly tailored, and leave open ample alternative channels of communication. 4 A limited public forum is a type of designated public forum where the government goes a step further and reserves the space for discussion of certain topics or by certain groups. 5 Non-public forums are all other government property that hasn’t been opened to expressive activity. In limited public forums, content-based regulation that is viewpoint neutral and reasonable in light of the forum’s purpose is permitted. Non-public forums permit no expressive activity, so the First Amendment doesn’t apply. What Kind of Forum Is Your Page? The U.S. Supreme Court has recognized social media as a powerful mechanism for citizen speech and acknowledged that individuals use it to engage in protected First Amendment activity,6 but courts have not gone so far as to treat every government social media account as a traditional public forum. The level of permissible regulation instead depends on how the municipality has structured its account – i.e., what type of forum it created. An account that allows comments with no additional rules will generally be treated as a designated public forum, 7 meaning the municipality cannot regulate comments based on content. An account that allows comments but prospectively imposes specific rules about the topics people may comment on will likely be treated as a limited public forum, which allows for content-based regulation so long as the rules are reasonable and viewpoint neutral. 8 A municipality can also create a non-public forum by disabling commenting altogether, if the platform allows it. Part of social media’s appeal is its interactive nature. Account holders post content, and others can respond and converse with one another in the comment thread. But not all engagement will be positive, and a municipality should be prepared for negative feedback. 1. Not all speech is protected by the First Amendment. True threats, defamation, and words inciting violence are examples of unprotected speech. Counterman v. Colorado, 600 U.S. 66, 73-74 (2023). 2. Arkansas Educ. Television Com’n v. Forbes, 523 U.S. 666, 667 (1998). 3. Int’l Soc’y for Krishna Consciousness, Inc. v. Lee, 505 U.S. 672, 678 (1992). 4. Surita v. Hyde, 665 F.3d 860, 870 (7th Cir. 2011). 5. Walker v. Texas Div. Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc., 576 U.S. 200, 201 (2015). 6. Packingham v. North Carolina, 137 S. Ct. 1730 (2017). 7. Krasno v. Mnookin, 148 F.4th 465, 484 (7th Cir. 2025). 8. Id. at 483–84. The Municipality - October 2026 | 19 Each forum comes with a tradeoff. A designated public forum leaves a municipality with no ability to remove objectionable comments. A limited public forum offers more room to moderate, but that moderation capability brings potential for pitfalls. A non-public forum avoids both headaches by disabling comments, but it does so at the cost of the audience engagement that is unique to social media. Limited Public Forum and Social Media Comments Policy A municipality that wants to navigate the middle ground and create a limited public forum must demonstrate that intent clearly and expressly. This is typically accomplished through a social media comments policy. A policy that is clearly visible to users can set parameters on what subjects they may discuss, so long as those parameters are viewpoint neutral and reasonable in light of the account’s purpose. The policy should also spell out what enforcement action, if any, follows a violation, such as deletion or blocking. Possible limitations include prohibiting unprotected speech, prohibiting solicitation or advertising of commercial services, limiting comments to the subject matter of the original post, and prohibiting profanity. Of these, the last two are the most complex to administer. Limiting comments to the subject matter of the original post can reduce, though not eliminate, undesirable comments. However, it is not an easy task to properly structure and administer such a policy. In a recent case, Krasno v. Mnookin, 9 the Seventh Circuit indicated that a policy is unconstitutional when it does not provide objective, workable standards for determining when a comment is off topic. Public users should be given some direction for how to keep their comments on topic and staff should be given direction for how to objectively enforce the policy, rather than relying solely on discretion. A municipality must be able to articulate a sensible basis for distinguishing what may stay from what must go. 10 The court did not provide specific instruction for what those standards should look like, but there are some helpful takeaways from its opinion: 1. r equire consistent staff moderation of comments, though enforcement need not be perfect; 2. avoid enforcement based solely on discretion; 3. pr ovide several examples of comments that would be considered off-topic and on-topic; 4. ensur e the examples illustrate how to stay on topic to a particular post rather than how to tie the content to the overall focus of the municipality’s account.11 Even if properly structured, an off-topic rule must still be applied in a viewpoint-neutral way. If certain opinions or perspectives receive disparate levels of moderation, even inadvertently, that can give the appearance of favoring or disfavoring some viewpoints over others. 12 This risk is heightened when using a keyword filter to enforce an off-topic rule. Keyword filters are a brute force tool. They do not account for context when applying the filter. Filters aren’t prohibited but municipalities using them should exercise extreme caution and make sure the flagged terms are genuinely content-neutral rather than tied to a particular viewpoint on the topic. Municipalities choosing to use a keyword filter should also monitor its functions to ensure viewpoint neutral application. Regulating profanity is another complex endeavor. Profanity is protected speech and viewpoint discrimination is strictly prohibited. When trying to regulate profanity in a content- based, yet viewpoint-neutral manner, the trouble arises when defining profanity. A municipality should define it carefully and narrowly to avoid including words and phrases that will ultimately incorporate the speaker’s viewpoint. For example, prohibiting traditional expletives is likely a safe, viewpoint- neutral limitation, but a broader definition that includes words or phrases that carry a larger meaning risks being challenged as viewpoint discrimination, since the speaker’s opinion becomes harder to separate from the words themselves. 9. Krasno, 148 F.4th 465. Note, Seventh Circuit decisions are binding in Wisconsin. 10. Id. at 485. 11. Id. 12. In Krasno, the university enforced its rule with a keyword filter, and several of the flagged terms, including words like “torture” and phrases like “you guys are sick,” targeted one side of the debate over the university’s research practices rather than off-topic content generally.

What makes that speech abhorrent is the speaker’s viewpoint that is woven into the fabric of the words or phrases themselves. It’s almost always impossible to separate the two. A municipality could instead prohibit a broader category of discussion, such as all comments about race or ethnicity, but that approach means that positive comments on those topics would be off limits too. Individual Official Accounts and Lindke v. Freed So far, this discussion has contemplated official government accounts, but what about an individual official’s social media accounts? Whether the First Amendment applies to an individual official’s account will depend on whether their social media activity is considered state action. A recent U.S. Supreme Court case, Lindke v. Freed, 13 announced a new test for answering this question. An official’s social media activity is only considered state action subject to the First Amendment if a two-prong test is met: (1) the official possesses actual authority to speak for the government, and (2) the official purports to exercise that authority when speaking (or deleting/hiding/blocking). To satisfy the first prong, authority to speak may be granted via statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage. Authority granted by statute, ordinance, or regulation is easy to identify. A grant of authority through custom or usage may be harder to discern but it “encompass[es] persistent practices of state officials that are so permanent and well-settled that they carry the force of law.” 14 For example, an official could possess this authority if prior individuals in the same position purported to speak for the municipality and were recognized as possessing that authority for so long that the official’s authority to do so becomes well-settled. 15 The Court also noted that a grant of authority over a particular subject may, in some circumstances, be broad enough to reasonably encompass authority to make official announcements on that subject. At the same time, the Court cautioned that courts should not rely on “excessively broad job descriptions” to conclude that a government employee is authorized to speak on the government’s behalf. 16 This test significantly narrows the circumstances where courts will treat an individual official’s social media activity as state action subject to the First Amendment. Moreover, even if an official does meet this new test, the challenged censorship action must concern a topic that falls within the official’s 13. Lindke v. Freed, 601 U.S. 187 (2024). 14.

For example, if a public works director is authorized to provide updates regarding public works projects, an update on a current road project would be connected to the director’s official role, but an update on recent election results would not. Nonetheless, officials who want to engage on social media and comment on matters related to their official role should follow two best practices. First, keep separate accounts for personal and municipal content. A mixed-use account combining both topics carries risks. If an official properly blocks someone over a comment on a personal post, they are blocked from the entire account. If the account also contains posts that qualify as state action, that block could amount to a First Amendment violation. Second, use a disclaimer stating that posts are personal in nature. Disclaimers aren’t foolproof, but the Supreme Court indicated they create a heavy presumption that an account is personal rather than official. Open Meetings Law Social media doesn’t just affect how a municipality communicates with the public. It can also impact how officials communicate with each other, which brings the open meetings law into play. A “meeting” under the open meetings law occurs when a sufficient number of governmental body members gather to conduct government business. A sufficient number could be a quorum, but it can also be fewer members in some circumstances. Conducting government business includes discussion and information gathering, not just formal action, and members don’t need to be physically present to “gather.” Convening electronically counts too. Because of this, officials should be mindful of how they engage on social media if other members of their body are or may be engaging as well. When evaluating electronic communications, courts will likely weigh the number of participants and communications involved, and the time frame of the exchange, to determine how closely the exchange resembled a real-time conversation. For example, a rapid comment-thread exchange involving a quorum of a body’s members would likely raise open meetings law concerns. Public Records Law Municipalities also need to be aware that social media accounts are public records. Requests for social media records should be analyzed like any other records request. The real challenge is with records retention. As public records, the content of social media accounts must be retained, but these accounts are not static. They are constantly in flux as posts are added, citizens comment on new posts, and citizens edit or delete their own comments. This presents a unique challenge for retaining them as a record, and courts have not yet provided guidance on what acceptable retention looks like in this context. Ideally, a municipality would use an archiving service built for this purpose. If budget constraints don’t allow for that, a municipality should at least develop the best archiving process it reasonably can in order to demonstrate a good-faith effort at retention. Conclusion For most municipalities, social media has become an essential communication tool, but the law in this area is complex and evolving. Given this, municipalities should make deliberate decisions regarding how they want to structure their accounts and what level of engagement to allow. Questions and gray areas will continue to arise. Staff and officials should contact the League or their municipal attorney when they do. Miscellaneous 24R1 Maria Davis, League General Counsel, League of Wisconsin Municipalities.

Erickson noted that the draft budget presented has the recommended C ommittee adjustments discussed at the September 15 meeting. The 2027 budget is close to being balanced, but waiting on a few significant figures from the County, which are expected to be received in early October. The Committee discussed street maintenance with Public Works Director Chris Statz. Consistent with the budget timeline discussed at the September 15 meeting, the next step is for the Finance Committee to meet prior to the next Village Board meeting to conduct a third review of the 2027 draft budget and consider a recommendation to the Village Board. The November 10 Village Board meeting is anticipated to include the public hearing and consideration of adoption of the 2027 budget. Discuss and act on 2027 wage and benefits available for Village Employees. Motion by Forseth, second by Lindorfer to table the 2027 wage and benefits available to Village Employees. Motion carried unanimously. Review 2027 Capital Equipment purchase requests. The committee reviewed the capital equipment requests. Discuss the creation of pooled cash accounts for Village operations. Erickson noted that the Village currently maintains more than 18 bank accounts. With the transition of adding A/P and General Ledger module s with the Utility program currently used, consolidating the bank accounts into a single “Pooled Cash” account would significantly help make several administrative processes more efficient. The new module s allow for more efficient accounts payable processing while maintaining separate accounting records for each utility. Erickson noted that not all accounts can be consolidated, as the Water/Electric Revenue Bonds require separate accounts with minimum balances to be maintained. Erickson will coordinate with Brent, Johnson Block auditors, and Caselle/Civic to complete the pooled cash account, with an anticipated start date of October 1, 2026 (Q4).

Discussion on the closure of TIF District 4 and its potential impacts. Brent Nelson addressed the Joint Review Board regarding the planned closure of TIF District 4 and its potential impact. He noted that TIF 4 was established in 2005 and will collect its final revenue in 2026. Originally valued at $5 million in 2005, the district is now valued over $40 million as of January 2025. The Village will need to pass a resolution to formally terminate TIF 4 by January 2026. The 2025 levy (collected in 2026) is the last time there will be separate TIF 4 tax increment revenue. The 2026 levy (collected in 2027) will be the first year the TIF 4 properties will become part of the general tax base. After collecting the increment revenue in 2026, TIF 4 is projected to have a surplus of approximately $517,000. Johnson Block intends to conduct the state required final audit of TIF 4 in September 2026 after the County completes its August 2026 tax settlements. After the final audit is completed, proportionate surplus refund payments will be made to the overlying taxing districts: Madison College, Dane County, and Wisconsin Heights, and the Village of Mazomanie’s general fund.
