RE: Five Year Street Program and Proposed Vehicle Registration Fee
SUMMARY
The City now has a five-year street program. It was built from the 2025 pavement condition ratings and a
pavement management schedule. The program covers routine maintenance, microsurfacing, overlay,
sidewalk, and two street reconstruction projects.
The program is paid for from four sources. Each source pays for a different kind of work, and they are not
interchangeable. Three of the four are already in place. The fourth is a $20 annual vehicle registration fee,
which the City does not currently charge. That fee would raise about $73,560 a year and may only be spent
on transportation.
Staff is asking for direction on three items. No action is required at this meeting.
• Whether to draft a vehicle registration fee ordinance for a future meeting
• The treatment for the 2028 Minneapolis Avenue project
• Confirmation of the streets share of planned City borrowing
BACKGROUND
Condition of the street network
The City rates its streets on the PASER scale, where 10 is new pavement and 1 is failed pavement. The 2025
ratings cover 22.4 miles of City street.
PASER rating What it means Feet Share
1 to 3 Needs full reconstruction 6,229 5%
4 Needs an overlay 11,022 9%
5 Sliding toward overlay 15,751 13%
6 Can still be microsurfaced, cheaply 21,769 18%
7 to 10 Routine attention only 63,420 54%
A little over half the network needs nothing but routine attention. About one fifth is in the range where
microsurfacing still works and is inexpensive. The rest has already moved past the point where
microsurfacing helps.
What waiting costs
Oak Street, between State Highway 46 and Riverside Drive, is 3,124 square yards of pavement.
Microsurfacing it in 2027 costs about $12,496. Once it is past microsurfacing and needs an overlay, the
same street costs about $43,736. Once it fails and has to b e rebuilt, it costs about $156,200. The price
changes depending on when the work is done. Every street moves down that list over time. The purpose
of the program is to reach streets while they are still at the low end of it.
104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486
Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870
What the program does between 2027 and 2031
• 28,369 feet of microsurfacing, about 5.4 miles
• 8,132 feet of overlay
• 5,016 feet of full reconstruction, in two projects
The two reconstruction projects are Minneapolis Avenue in 2028 and a bundle of five streets in 2031. The
street by street list is attached.
What the program does not do
The program does not reach every street that needs work.
• Five streets fall below the funding line for the 2031 project. Their combined construction cost is
$730,034.
• Three streets sit in the overlay backlog and are not reached before 2032. Their combined cost is
$134,724.
FISCAL IMPACT
How the program is paid for
Source What it pays for Five year total
Street repair and maintenance
operating budget (state
transportation aid and property
tax)
Painting, crack filling, microsurfacing $700,000
Vehicle registration fee (proposed) Additional microsurfacing and crack filling $349,410
City borrowing, streets share Sidewalks and overlay $358,866
State LRIP awards, not yet awarded Part of the two reconstruction projects Up to $500,000
The LRIP figure is two anticipated awards at the $250,000 per project cap. LRIP is a competitive
reimbursement program and the City does not hold these awards. If either application is unsuccessful, the
affected reconstruction project shrinks or slips. Other grant funding will be pursued depending on project
fit and availability of funds.
These sources do different jobs, but only some of that is a matter of law, and Council should know which
is which. The state LRIP award is restricted. It reimburses approved reconstruction projects. Routine
maintenance is not eligible under the program rul es, so an award cannot be moved to microsurfacing.
Vehicle registration fee revenue is restricted to transportation purposes. That is a broad category. Council
could direct the money to microsurfacing, to overlay, or to debt service on street borrowing.
Street repair and maintenance money and borrowing are not legally restricted to particular kinds of street
work. The program assigns them the way it does because of cost, not because of a rule. Borrowing over
ten years costs about $1.26 in principal and interest for every dollar borrowed. That is a reasonable trade
for a sidewalk that lasts forty years or a street rebuild that lasts approximately 100. It is a poor trade for
microsurfacing that lasts ten, because the surface would be gone before the note was paid off.
Water main and sanitary sewer main replacement inside the two reconstruction projects is Water Utility
and Sewer Utility work. It is paid for from utility revenue bonds and recovered through utility rates. It is
104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486
Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870
not a property tax cost, and it is not a contribution from the utilities to the street program. The utilities
are paying for their own pipe.
The proposed vehicle registration fee
State law at section 341.35(1) allows a city to charge an annual vehicle registration fee. The State collects
it along with the regular registration and returns it to the City. The money may only be used for
transportation purposes.
At $20 per vehicle and 3,678 registered vehicles, the fee would raise $73,560 a year. The first year would
raise about $55,170, because registrations renew throughout the year rather than all at once.
What the fee pays for
The fee is added to the street repair and maintenance budget. It pays for microsurfacing and crack filling.
Over five years it would pay for 2.86 additional miles of microsurfacing, 44,974 square yards, at a cost of
$198,664. These are streets the program does not otherwise reach.
If those same streets are not microsurfaced and later need an overlay, the cost is $629,636. If they fail and
need reconstruction, the cost is $2,248,700.
Another way to look at it. The City has about 4.1 miles of street sitting in the range where microsurfacing
still works. Without the fee, the program microsurfaces about 2.5 miles over five years, and more streets
drop into that range in the meantime. With the fee, the program microsurfaces about 5.4 miles.
What the fee does not pay for
As proposed, the fee is directed to microsurfacing and crack filling, so adopting it would not change which
streets receive an overlay and would not change the reconstruction projects planned for 2028 and 2031.
Those are paid for by borrowing and by state aid. Council could direct the fee to overlay or to debt service
instead, but that money would come out of the microsurfacing program described above.
Cost to a household
Twenty dollars per vehicle per year. A household with one vehicle pays $20. A household with two vehicles
pays $40. There is no exemption mechanism in the statute.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Adopt the fee at $20. The program proceeds as described.
2. Adopt the fee at a lower amount. Revenue and additional microsurfacing scale down proportionally.
At $10 the fee raises $36,780 a year and covers roughly half the additional microsurfacing.
3. Do not adopt the fee and hold the program at current funding. Microsurfacing falls to about 2.5 miles
over five years. Streets continue moving out of the microsurfacing range and into the overlay range, and
the overlay backlog beyond 2032 grows again.
4. Do not adopt the fee and raise the property tax levy instead. This is not available at any meaningful
scale. The levy limit permits 2.190 percent growth for 2027 and existing commitments consume it.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that Council provide direction on the following three items, taken separately.
104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486
Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870
1. Direct staff to prepare a $20 vehicle registration fee ordinance under Wis. Stat. section 341.35(1),
effective in 2027, with revenue dedicated to street repair and maintenance, for action at a future
meeting.
2. Direct staff on the treatment for the 2028 Minneapolis Avenue project, either full reconstruction of
Phase 1 or a mill and overlay of the full corridor. Attachment B compares the two.
3. Confirm the streets share of the City’s planned borrowing: $121,324 in the 2027 to 2028 window,
$125,348 in 2029 to 2030, and $112,194 in 2031 to 2032. These figures are floors.

RE: Attachment A, Five Year Street Program
ATTACHMENT A
FIVE YEAR STREET PROGRAM, STREET BY STREET
Built from the 2025 PASER ratings and the pavement management schedule. Costs are in the dollars of the
year the work is done. Microsurfacing is priced per square yard and rises about 5 percent a year.
The Funding column shows how each street depends on the proposed $20 vehicle registration fee:
Base program means the street is funded whether or not the fee is adopted. “Fee only” means the street
is not reached without the fee. “Fee moves up from” means the street is funded either way, but the fee
advances it to an earlier year at a lower price. S haded rows are the streets that depend entirely on the
fee.

NOTES
Microsurfacing costs $4.00 per square yard in 2027. Overlay costs $14.00. Full reconstruction costs $52.50.
Those three numbers are the reason the program is built the way it is.
The 2025 rating file covers 118,191 feet. The full City network is about 141,541 feet. Roughly 4.4 miles of
City street was not rated in 2025 and therefore does not appear on any list above.
Streets are grouped by the year the work is done, not by the year they were identified. Where the fee
moves a street to an earlier year, the cost shown is the earlier, lower price.

RE: Attachment B, 2028 Minneapolis Avenue Treatment Comparison
ATTACHMENT B
2028 MINNEAPOLIS AVENUE, TREATMENT COMPARISON
Minneapolis Avenue is scheduled for work in 2028. Two treatments are available. They are not two
versions of the same project. They treat different lengths of road, they last different amounts of time, and
they leave the City in different positions in 2031. Council direction is requested on which to pursue.
THE TWO OPTIONS
Reconstruction rebuilds the road from the subgrade up on Phase 1 only, from Sundance Street to Hillcrest
Drive. Water main and sanitary sewer main in that trench are replaced at the same time.
Mill and overlay grinds off the top layer of pavement and lays new asphalt over the existing base. It reaches
the full corridor, all the way to Broadway Street, because it costs less per foot. It does not touch the base
and it does not touch the utilities.
SIDE BY SIDE
Reconstruction Mill and overlay Which is better
Corridor treated 2,059 ft 4,066 ft Mill and overlay
Pavement area 9,151 sq yd 18,071 sq yd Mill and overlay
Unit cost, 2028 $52.50 / sq yd $23.10 / sq yd Mill and overlay
Total project cost $552,492 $480,056 Mill and overlay
State LRIP award $250,000 $240,028 Reconstruction
Utility main replacement $220,992 None Reconstruction
CITY CASH REQUIRED $81,500 $240,028 Reconstruction
Expected service life 45 years 13 years Reconstruction
Cost per sq yd per year of life $1.34 $2.04 Reconstruction
Reconstruction need retired $552,492 None Reconstruction
WHAT THE TABLE MEANS
Mill and overlay treats twice as much road for less total money. That is real and it is the strongest argument
for it.
It also costs the City about three times as much cash. The reason is the trench. When the road is dug up
for reconstruction, the Water and Sewer Utilities replace their mains at the same time and pay for their
own pipe from utility revenue bonds. A mill and overlay never opens the trench, so there is no utility work
and no utility money. The City pays the whole local share out of the street program.
104 Maple Street W., Suite A Office: 715.268.7486
Amery, WI 54001 Fax: 715.268.4870
The two treatments also last very different amounts of time. Dividing cost by pavement area and by years
of expected life gives $1.34 for reconstruction and $2.04 for mill and overlay. Reconstruction is about a
third cheaper per year of road life.
Finally, a mill and overlay rebuilds nothing. Minneapolis Avenue would still need reconstruction, and that
need would roll forward into the 2031 project. If 2028 is a mill and overlay, the accumulated reconstruction
need in 2031 roughly doubles, and fewer streets fit under the 2031 funding line.
WHAT COUNCIL SHOULD KNOW BEFORE DECIDING
Staff would rather name these than have them come up later.
• The pavement condition rating on Minneapolis Avenue supports resurfacing. Reconstruction is
being considered because of the utility mains and corridor continuity, not because the pavement
rating demands it. MSA should confirm the base condition and the utility justification before
Council commits.
• The mill and overlay unit cost of $23.10 per square yard is a City planning estimate. It is not an
MSA figure.
• LRIP eligibility for resurfacing has not been confirmed with the State. If a mill and overlay does
not qualify, the City cash figure for that option rises substantially.
• The utility main replacement figure is a planning estimate at this stage and will be replaced by
MSA’s per-foot cost when the project is designed.
• The 13 year life for a mill and overlay assumes the 1999 base is sound. If it is not, the treatment
fails sooner and the comparison worsens.
STAFF ASSESSMENT
Reconstruction is the better value on every measure except total project cost and length of road treated.
It costs the City less cash, it lasts more than three times as long, it is cheaper per year of road life, and it
permanently retires a reconstruc tion need instead of deferring it. The water main that runs along
Minneapolis has had a recent history of breaking and does require replacement.
Mill and overlay is the right answer only if Council places a high value on treating the full corridor in 2028
and is willing to pay roughly $158,500 more in City cash to do it, knowing the same corridor will need
rebuilding again. Options for replacement of the water main could be included during the mill and overlay
project, but it would elevate costs and delay this version of the project’s timeline.
RECOMMENDATION
That staff proceed with design of Minneapolis Avenue Phase 1 as a full reconstruction, from Sundance
Street to Hillcrest Drive, coordinated with Water and Sewer Utility main replacement, and pursue an LRIP
award for the project.

RE: Draft 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan — for discussion
The attached draft 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan is presented for Council discussion; no action is
requested at this time. Staff asks for review and direction at this meeting, after which the plan will return
with the proposed 2027 budget for adoption in November, with the first year's projects incorporated into
the capital budget.
What the plan covers
The plan programs $9,233,588 of capital work across five years and ten departments and utilities. Every
project has its own page setting out scope, justification, priority, useful life, year-by-year cost, and funding
source. Each department closes every year at a zero estimated fund balance.
Funding source 2027-2031
Grants (FAA, State, DNR Stewardship, LRIP) $4,012,150
Bond proceeds (General Fund and utility revenue) $2,565,393
Capital projects levy $1,191,992
Other source (utility revenues, operating transfer, trade-in) $916,714
Expenditure Restraint Program revenue $547,340
Total $9,233,588
Expenditure Restraint Program revenue
Amery's 2027 Expenditure Restraint payment is confirmed at $107,339.89, with an assumed $110,000 per
year carried thereafter. Applying it to capital funds the entire police squad car rotation for all five years
with no borrowing and removes the storm sewer program f rom the levy beginning in 2028; reducing
General Fund borrowing by $267,340 and the capital projects levy by $100,000 with no reduction in
programmed work. Council should note this is unrestricted General Fund revenue: a dollar committed to
capital is unavailable for operations, and eli gibility depends on staying within the state expenditure
restraint limit each year. Utilizing the expenditure restraint for operations jeopardizes the receipt of further
expenditure restraint, hence the transfer into the Capital Fund.
Items for Council direction
• Grant assumptions. Roughly 43 percent of the plan is grant funded, including a $1,600,000 DNR
Stewardship award for North Park in 2029 and $250,000 LRIP awards in 2028 and 2031. None has
been awarded. Any shortfall moves to the levy or to borrowing.
• Airport local match. The plan assumes the capital projects levy covers the City's share of Airport
Master Plan projects. Airport fund cash and a general obligation note are equally available; this
decision has not been made.
• 2029 capacity. At $4,009,348, 2029 carries more than double any other year — North Park
construction, the fire truck, and airport work.
• Just beyond the window. Taxiway A realignment at $2,225,000 (FFY 2031) and dam repair at
$2,000,000 (2032) land immediately after this plan and are unfunded within it.

Long Range Capital Improvement Planning Introduction/Manual
CIP Introduction
● This is an essential management tool for Amery to utilize in planning for Capital Improvements over multiple
years.
● Allows room for forward thought and discussion.
● Better prepares Amery for change.
● Creates opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked.
● Amery is faced with increasing expenditures and limitations on revenues.
● Creative solutions must be developed to meet these demands.
● Long-range planning is key to Amery's success.
● Funding sources and uses are matched over a multiple-year timeframe rather than just one year.
● Integrates Capital Improvement Planning (CIP) into the annual budget process.
● CIP is the initial step in the annual budget process.
● Operational — staffing, organizational structure, systems (70-80% of annual budget).
● Capital — infrastructure, maintenance, and equipment.
Benefits of a CIP
● More efficient administration — assists in making better decisions in how Amery is spending resources in
coming years.
● Administration/departmental involvement in planning and prioritizing projects/programs with available
funding.
● Provides a disciplined and financially stable approach to spending over multiple years.
● Provides a way to plan financing of infrastructure projects and equipment purchases, including a detailed list
of projects and funding sources, and project descriptions with justifications/rationale.
● Facilitates the planning and funding of a program.
● Public document to obtain community support and keep citizens informed on current needs and future
projects.
● Focuses attention on objectives and financial capabilities/affordability, and identifies the most economical
means of financing capital projects.
● Used by financial advisors to structure and time a capital financing plan borrowing, and avoids drastic
changes in debt service payments.
● Positive evaluation factor by credit rating agencies and independent auditors.
Capital Improvement Threshold Policy
● Individual tangible capital-type items should be capitalized only if they have a minimum value of $5,000 and
have an estimated useful life of more than one year following the date of acquisition.
● The capitalization threshold is to be applied to individual items rather than to groups of similar items (e.g.,
desks and tables).
Capital Improvement Planning Process
● Establish timeline: Spring–Summer–Fall–Nov/Dec Budget Adoption.
City of Amery — 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan

● City Administrator coordinates and defines Department responsibilities.
● Policies: CIP threshold; complete fixed asset inventory with useful lives/life remaining; disposal of equipment.
● Identify the needs for facilities/programs/projects, the timing, costs (uses), and means of financing (sources)
for each, using CIP template forms for consistency and uniformity.
● Set priorities/rankings/justifications/budget impacts for each identified CIP program and project.
● Prepare a financial pro forma forecast analysis for a range of years showing the City's capacity to afford the
CIP.
● Coincide with the annual budget process: incorporate the first year's CIP programs/projects into the
proposed annual budget.
● Review the capital improvement program annually.

Amery CIP Process/Timeline
June: CIP Introduction
Organize all parties involved: department heads/staff and elected officials. The City Administrator coordinates with
participants and define responsibilities to begin the process of compiling the CIP.
June/July: CIP Creation Process
● Identify the needs for facilities/programs/projects, the timing, costs (uses), and means of financing (sources)
for each.
● Set priorities/rankings/justifications/budget impacts for each identified CIP program and project, using CIP
template forms for consistency and uniformity.
● Review established policies: CIP threshold; complete fixed asset inventory with useful lives/life remaining;
disposal of equipment.
● Review the fixed asset replacement schedule and adequately funded equipment/building replacement fund.
July
CIP data is due to the City Administrator for compilation and then, following review, given back to departments for
review and discussion.
August/September
● Distribution to Governing body leaders.
● Review and comment on recommended projects and priorities through standing committee meetings.
● Board review and approval of the CIP, with adoption of the first year's projects as a capital budget item in the
proposed annual budget.
● Full CIP used as a tool in the annual budget process and adoption.
October/November
● Budget adoption with the CIP.
● Discussions/planning with financial advisors and bond counsel for debt issuance to finance projects.

How This Plan Is Organized
Capital Improvement Plan Summary Information
A city-wide Summary of Funds showing estimated beginning and ending fund balance, each funding source, and each
department's total uses for every year of the plan, followed by charts of funding by source and uses by category.
Department Summaries and Project Justifications
A summary of funds for each department and utility — Sewer Utility, Fire Department, Public Works, Airport, City
Administration, Police Department, Water Utility, Parks and Facilities, and Library — followed by an individual page
for every project within that department. Each project page identifies the category, project name and number,
department, contact, type, useful life, priority, and purpose; provides a narrative description and justification; lists
expenditures and funding sources by year; and states the budget impact.
A shared-facility project jointly funded by the Sewer Utility, Water Utility, and Public Works appears as its own cross-
fund record, presented after Public Works.
2027 Proposed Budget Funding
A department-by-department listing of the projects proposed for the first year of the plan, with requested, defunded,
and approved columns for Council action.
Capital Improvement Plan Beyond 2031
Programs and projects identified beyond the five-year window, with the year planned, ranking criteria, purpose, and
estimated cost.
Priority and Purpose Codes
Every project is assigned a priority ranking and a purpose, using the codes below. These are the same codes used in
the City's CIP request forms.
● Priority 1 — Maintain/Public Want/Greater than 3 Years
● Priority 2 — Improvement Benefit/Desired Want/2-3 Years
● Priority 3 — Preventive Need/Public Benefit/1-2 Years
● Priority 4 — Critical Need/Obligated/Within 6-12 Months
● Priority 5 — Mandated/Mission Driven/Immediate Need
Purpose codes: Scheduled Replacement; Current Equipment Obsolete; Replace Worn Out Equipment; New
Program/Service; Expanded Service; Improve Policies/Procedures; Reduce Personnel Time; Increase Safety.

Capital Improvement Plan Policy Information
Capital Asset Policy
Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to establish a consistent methodology for recording in the financial records of
the City of Amery ("City") the capitalization and depreciation of capital assets, consistent with current reporting
requirements as determined by the State of Wisconsin and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB").
General: The City of Amery holds certain capital assets which include land, buildings, vehicles, machinery and
equipment, parks and roads infrastructure, furniture, and fixtures, and all other tangible or intangible assets, which
are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a one-year period. These assets must be
accounted for at historical cost or estimated historical cost and be fairly represented in the City of Amery's Annual
Financial Report.
Valuation
All costs shall be documented, including methods and sources used to establish such cost basis.
● Purchased assets: recorded based on actual costs, including all ancillary costs, based on the vendor invoice or
other supporting documentation.
● Self-constructed assets: all direct costs (including labor) associated with the construction project shall be
included in establishing a self-constructed asset valuation. If the City is unable to identify all direct costs, an
estimate is acceptable but must be supported by a reasonable methodology.
● Donated assets: assigned a cost equal to fair market value at the time of acquisition.
● Leased property: capital lease property shall be recorded as an asset and depreciated as though it had been
purchased.
● Dedicated assets: infrastructure dedicated to the City by developers (sanitary sewer mains, manholes,
laterals, water mains, hydrants, valves, storm and sanitary sewers, streets, curb and gutter, streetlights,
street signs, sidewalks) is recorded based on actual costs, including ancillary costs, based on vendor invoice or
other supporting documentation provided by the developer.
● Shared purchases: assets shared with other municipalities or entities are recorded based on the City's share
of actual costs, including ancillary costs.
Ancillary Costs
Ancillary costs are to be included in the capitalized cost of a fixed asset. However, minor costs not measurable at the
time a fixed asset is recorded in the City's fixed asset inventory system may be expensed.
● Buildings and improvements: professional fees of architects, attorneys, appraisers, financial advisors, etc.;
damage claims; costs of fixtures permanently attached to a building or structure; insurance premiums and
related costs incurred during construction; and other expenditures necessary to place a building or structure
into its intended state of operation.
● Equipment: transportation charges, installation costs, and any other normal and necessary expenditures
required to place the asset into its intended state of operation.
● Land: legal and title fees, surveying fees, appraisal and negotiation fees, damage payments, site preparation
costs, and costs related to demolition of unwanted structures.
Classification
Capital assets include items with useful lives greater than one year: land, land improvements, buildings, building
improvements, construction work in progress, machinery and equipment, vehicles, infrastructure, easements, and
City of Amery — 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Plan

works of art and historic treasures. A capital asset is reported and, with certain exceptions, depreciated in
government-wide statements. Assets that are not capitalized are expensed in the year of acquisition.
Infrastructure assets are long-lived assets that normally can be preserved for a significantly greater number of years
than most capital assets and that are normally stationary in nature — roads, bridges, drainage systems, and water
systems, for example. Infrastructure assets do not include buildings, drives, parking lots, or other examples given
above that are incidental to property or access to the property.
● Furniture and equipment: office furniture; office, data processing, and special department equipment.
● Vehicles and equipment: vehicles, operating and mechanical equipment.
● Land: land, land improvements.
● Buildings: buildings, building improvements.
● Infrastructure: streets, bridges, water and sewer systems, drainage systems, sidewalks, curb and gutter, etc.
Capitalization
Capital asset value thresholds for capitalization are applied to individual capital assets rather than to groups of similar
capital assets. Capital assets must have an initial value of $5,000 or more — the "capitalization threshold" for
reporting purposes in the Annual Financial Report.
Repair and maintenance costs are expenditures that keep the property in ordinary efficient operating condition and
do not add to the value or prolong the life of the asset; these are treated as an annual operating expense charged to
the appropriate department and fund.
Improvements are expenditures for additions, alterations, and renovations that appreciably prolong the life of the
asset, materially increase its value, or adapt it to a different use. Improvement costs of $5,000 or more to an
individual capital asset are to be capitalized.
Depreciation
All long-term assets (except for land, certain land improvements, and construction in progress) identified in the
capital assets policy will be depreciated/amortized. Regardless of the month the asset is placed in service, a full year
of depreciation/amortization will be recorded in the first year. Once the asset has been fully depreciated, it will be
kept on the books until disposed of. When an asset is disposed of prior to the end of its useful life, the remaining
"book" value will be written off as depreciation unless it will materially affect the City's financial statements.
Useful Life
To determine the useful life of an asset for depreciation purposes, the City considers an asset's present condition and
how long it is expected to meet its service demands, in addition to applying applicable industry standards for useful
life.
Inventory
An inventory of all long-term assets should be reviewed and updated annually.
Capital Assets Policy
Developed: May 2023. Adopted: June 2023. (Policy unchanged in this edition.)

Program/Project Name: Storm Sewer Improvements Contact: Jeff Mahoney, Public Works Director
Program/Project #: Streets4-2026 Type: Infrastructure
Useful Life: 20 years Priority: 4 - Critical Need/Obligated/Within 6-12 Months
Purpose: Scheduled Replacement
Description
Improvements to the City's storm water infrastructure, including sewers, curbs, gutters, and drainage culverts.
Justification
Inadequate storm water management leads to water infiltration and erosion, which severely compromises the integrity of
road foundations and pavement. By investing in improved storm water infrastructure, the City can prevent this damage,
extending the lifespan of its roads and significantly reducing long-term maintenance and repair costs.

Wisconsin Expenditure Restraint Program revenue, removing it from the levy entirely.

Street Repairs

Program/Project Name: Street Repairs Contact: Jeff Mahoney, Public Works Director
Program/Project #: Streets5-2026 Type: Infrastructure
Useful Life: 20 years Priority: 4 - Critical Need/Obligated/Within 6-12 Months
Purpose: Scheduled Replacement
Description
Capital street program: sidewalk construction, overlay, and executed street reconstruction — pavement, engineering, and
contingency. Two things are deliberately excluded. Water and sanitary main replacement within the same reconstruction
corridors is budgeted on the Water Utility and Sewer Utility pages, not here. And the street repair and maintenance
operating budget (General Fund account 100-00-53413-350-000, plus the proposed vehicle registration fee) is an operating
cost, not capital.
Justification
Improved streets are essential for enhancing a community's quality of life and economic vitality. Investing in street
improvements reduces maintenance costs, enhances public safety, and supports local commerce by ensuring efficient and
reliable transportation networks.

Budget Impact/Other
Funded without borrowing in any year of the plan. The two reconstruction years each draw a $250,000 LRIP award plus a
transfer from the General Fund street operating budget; the remaining years are carried by the capital projects levy and the
Expenditure Restraint surplus left after storm sewer work.

Airport
Beginning with this edition, the Airport CIP is drawn directly from the Amery Municipal Airport (AHH) Airport Master
Plan, Final Draft Report, July 2026, Table 7-1 (p. 131) — the City's first Airport Master Plan, adopted after the 2026-
2030 CIP was published. This replaces the general project estimates carried in the adopted 2026-2030 CIP
(construction of the Snow Removal Equipment Building, Parking Lot Replacement, and construction of a Terminal
Building) with the Master Plan's project-by-project schedule, funding type, and FAA/State/Local match percentages.
Because the two sources do not overlap on a project-by-project basis, Airport figures in this document are not directly
comparable, year by year, to the Airport figures published in the adopted 2026-2030 CIP.
The Master Plan does not specify how the City's local match will be funded. This document assumes the Capital
Projects Levy, consistent with how the prior Airport CIP funded its local share — but that is a City financing decision
still to be confirmed with Council; Capital Projects Levy, Airport Fund cash, and a GF/Airport GO Note are all live
options.
This section uses Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) rather than the calendar-year convention used throughout the rest of this
CIP. FFY 2027, for example, spans October 2026 through September 2027. The Master Plan's own 10-Year CIP begins
with a Taxiway A Realignment & Reconstruction project in FFY 2031 at $2,225,000; that project is carried in the
Beyond 2031 section rather than here, pending confirmation of its scheduling and local match.

Airport
Category Program/Project Year Planned Ranking Purpose Estimated Cost
Airport Taxiway A Realignment & Reconstruction 2031 (FFY) 1 - Immediate Scheduled Replacement $2,225,000
Carried from the Airport Master Plan's 10-Year CIP. This project falls in Federal Fiscal Year 2031, which begins October
2030, so it sits at the boundary of this plan. It is shown here rather than in the Airport section above because its
scheduling and local match share still need to be confirmed with the airport engineer and WisDOT.

Category Program/Project Year Planned Ranking Purpose Estimated Cost
Fire Department T800 Engine 1 2044 3 - Long Term Replace Worn Out Equipment $475,000
Fire Department F550 Brush Truck 2044 3 - Long Term Replace Worn Out Equipment $150,000
Fire Department total: $625,000. (The adopted 2026-2030 CIP printed a total of $150,000 for these two lines, which
reflects only the brush truck; the correct sum of both line items is shown here.)

Check Register
Budget to Actual
Account Balances
August 2026 Monthly Financial Report
The check register for the General Checking account for the month of August was provided. August is completely
reconciled for all accounts. There were two large checks cut in August. One was for $350,919.20 to Market &
Johnson for the WWTP. Those funds will be paid back to the City from the WI DNR as part of the WWTP loan once the
project is complete. The other large check was for $343,208.30 to Associated Bank for the October loan payments.
The budget to actual numbers and budget comparison are available in the drive. The revenue in the general fund is
on track with where we would expect at this time of year. Several of the Revenue groups look low for 8 months
through the year but Intergovernmental Revenues will get a large deposit in November, Public Charges for Services
will be made whole after the 3rd and 4th quarter utility bills due to garbage, and Public Charges for Services is still
missing some township fire payments. In the expense categories the only ones exceeding 2/3's after making it
through 2/3's of the year are Health and Human Services and Debt Service which are paid out on specific dates and
not monthly.
The General Checking revenues exceeded the expenses in the month of August. The August Tax Settlement came
through from Polk County which accounted for $1,169,288.16. The City also received fire protection payments from
some of the townships in our fire district and a large amount of utility payments. The expenses for the month were
typically monthly expenses. A check was cut for the October 1st loan payment, but it was not cashed in August.
There was little to no other activity in the City accounts in August.
