AGENDA ITEM
Consideration with possible action to approve accepting a grant award of $916,000 in federal funding through
the US Dept. of Transportation Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) initiative
BACKGROUND
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) initiative grant will support the
creation of a comprehensive safety action plan (CSAP) aimed at making roads safer and reducing serious injury
and fatal crashes across the city.
Key Elements of the Comprehensive Safety Action Plan:
Green Bay’s CSAP will align with the city’s vision zero goals, with a target of reducing fatal and serious injuries by
25% by 2030, 50% by 2035, 75% by 2040, and achieving zero fatalities and serious injuries by 2045. The plan will
adopt a holistic Safe System Approach, addressing key areas such as safe speeds, safer roads, safer vehicles, and
improved post-crash care.
The grant also funds several innovative supplemental planning activities to ensure the CSAP is comprehensive and
effective:
- Proactive Risk Measures: A city-wide analysis using proactive risk assessment methods to identify potential high-
risk areas before crashes occur.
- Illuminance Evaluation: Evaluating city-wide street lighting to identify areas in need of improvement, particularly
in underserved neighborhoods.
- Bike Connectivity and Flexible Transportation: Studying potential locations for bike-share facilities and assessing
connectivity needs for safer bike routes.
- Pedestrian and Cyclist Safety: Evaluating high-pedestrian and bicycle activity areas to assess the feasibility of
safety improvements.
- Speed Management Plan: Developing a city-wide speed management plan to address speeding concerns,
including the use of real-time speed monitoring systems.
Finally, the City of Green Bay will implement the following demonstration activities to test potential safety
solutions and gather public feedback:
- Traffic Calming Demonstrations: Temporary installations such as bump-outs, protected bike lanes, and lane
reductions will be piloted to reduce speeds and improve safety in high-risk corridors.
- Real-Time Speed Monitoring: Piloting speed monitoring devices that communicate real-time data to law
enforcement, allowing for targeted speed enforcement in areas with high incidents of speeding.
100 North Jefferson Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301-5026
greenbaywi.gov
- Public Engagement Through Enforcement and Education: Targeted law enforcement and public education
campaigns will be implemented to raise awareness about road safety and reinforce safer road user behavior.
The comprehensive plan will be completed by December 31, 2027, with various demonstration activities and
supplemental planning efforts occurring in the interim to gather data and test solutions. The City will work
closely with the community to ensure that this plan reflects the needs and priorities of all Green Bay residents.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve accepting a grant award of $916,000 in federal funding through the US Dept. of Transportation Safe
Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) initiative and authorize Mayor Genrich to execute all contracts
FISCAL IMPACT
There is a 20% match requirement which will be met by Capital Improvement Projects funding and Staff time
spent on enforcement. This will require a waiver.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
GREEN BAY POLICE DEPARTMENT
November 21, 2025
To: Common Council Finance Committee
From: Chief Chris Davis
Green Bay Police
Subject: Drone as First Responder Proposal
Since the summer of 2025, the Green Bay Police Department (GBPD) and the Green Bay Metro
Fire Department (GBMFD) have collaborated on the establishment of a Drone as First
Responder (DFR) program. DFR programs have shown promising results in cities across the
United States.
In an emergency, a person calling 9-1-1 is often understandably upset. As a consequence,
information Dispatch receives from callers is often unreliable, as it is either incomplete or
inaccurate. An officer responding to the scene often must act on limited, conflicting, or
erroneous information, increasing risk to both officers and the public. A DFR can respond to a
scene much more quickly, as it flies in a straight line and is not subject to traffic conditions. The
DFR concept allows officers to have access to real-time, accurate information about what is
happening at the scene before they arrive, in turn allowing officers to calibrate their response
appropriately.
In addition, a DFR program often allows calls to be cleared without ever sending officers. Many
calls involving suspicious persons, disturbances, or welfare checks can be resolved via the use of
DFR. A recent analysis of our call data by Flock, a DFR vendor, estimated that, annually,
around 4,200 calls for service or Flock Automated License Plate Reader alerts could be resolved
entirely using DFR technology. This would in turn free up 1.89 full-time officers worth of work
time, with an estimated value of $241,807.
Chronic staffing shortages over the past several years have resulted in an imbalance between
demand for police service and our capacity to meet that demand. We are currently authorized to
employ 190 full-time, sworn personnel including all ranks and assignments. Even if all positions
are filled, at any given time around 10% will not be fully deployable due to training, injuries,
military deployments, and other reasons.
Between the hours of 9:00 am and 7:00 pm, call load alone consumes most of our patrol officers’
time. This leaves less time available for problem-solving, community engagement, and traffic
safety work. While we have recently seen promising signs with regard to recruiting, at an
authorized strength of 190 sworn positions it is unlikely even at full staffing that we could both
meet call-for-service demand and engage in meaningful community policing work at the patrol
officer level.
Common Council Finance Committee December 4, 2025
Drone as First Responder Proposal Page 2
The DFR program is part of a larger strategy to make the most efficient use possible of patrol
officer resources. While it remains to be seen whether the program’s actual performance will
meet expectations, $241,807 worth of efficiencies annually far exceeds the program’s $170,000
annual cost ($190,000 in years 4 and 5 of the anticipated vendor agreement).
The vendor has agreed to waive the startup costs of the program, resulting in a one-time savings
of approximately $919,500.00.
The Impact Analysis from the vendor, Flock Safety, is attached to this memorandum. In sum,
the DFR program represents an opportunity to leverage this emerging technology to improve
response time, enhance our officers’ ability to obtain valuable situational awareness en route, and
make more efficient use of limited patrol resources.

the item to the Finance Committee and City Council for consideration and action.
The subject property is located within the City of Green Bay and is located within the University Heights
Commerce Center with a Light Manufacturing Zoning District classification. Solar fields and associated
energy storage/distribution are permitted uses within the Light Manufacturing District.
The proposed lease has a lease term that consists of a due diligence period, construction period, and an
operations term of 30 years with a 10-year extension. The total lease period is at least 40 years which
includes the due diligence, construction period, and extension period. The revenue is discussed in the fiscal
impact portion of this report.
In addition to generating revenue for the City, the project provides economic, environmental, and
community benefits:
• Project development and construction will create local jobs and stimulate economic activity by
engaging regional contractors, suppliers, and support services.
• The City’s participation demonstrates fiscal responsibility by transforming underutilized land into an
asset that delivers measurable financial and environmental returns.
100 North Jefferson Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301-5026
greenbaywi.gov
• Locally produced solar energy helps reduce long-term energy costs and insulates the community
from fluctuations in fossil fuel markets.
• Educational and workforce training components associated with the project support Green Bay’s
clean energy workforce development goals.
• The installation will produce clean, renewable electricity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
advancing Green Bay’s clean energy targets.
• Distributed local generation enhances energy resilience and reliability while reducing dependence on
fossil fuels.
• The project design includes pollinator-friendly native vegetation, improving soil health, stormwater
infiltration, and biodiversity.
• OneEnergy’s educational partnerships and panel donation program offer learning opportunities for
local schools and community groups.
• A comprehensive decommissioning and recycling plan ensures the system’s end-of-life materials are
responsibly managed, with ~98% of materials recoverable.
• This project supports the City’s efforts to achieve carbon neutrality, expand renewable energy use,
and demonstrate municipal leadership in sustainability. It also advances community-wide climate
resilience, economic diversification, and public engagement—key pillars of the Clean Energy Green
Bay plan.
The City and representatives of OneEnergy, LLC conducted a courtesy neighborhood meeting on October
8th, 2025 to introduce the potential solar installation project and receive feedback. The meeting was
attended by approximately 30 attendees who are in/close to the University Heights Commerce Center or
who are officials of the Town of Scott, WI.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve the Land Lease and Solar Easement on Parcel number 22-SC513, as drafted.
FISCAL IMPACT
The revenue received by the City for each year of the due diligence period is $4,000 and $8,750 per year for
the construction period. For the operations term, OneEnergy is to pay $800 per acre for a minimum of 35
acres that will increase 2% annually after the first year of the operations term.
The minimum aggregate revenue for the 30-year operations term is $1,135,906.22. The minimum aggregate
total revenue if the term is extended for a total of 40 years is $1,691,255.53.

WWW.ONEENERGYRENEWABLES.COM
1 Site Overview
Perch Solar is a 6 MWac solar project located in the Town of Vinland in Winnebago County,
Wisconsin. The 30-acre project site is currently in agricultural production. The site contains
eight wetlands and two constructed ditches. The predominant soils on site are somewhat
poorly drained Korobago silt loam and well drained Kewaunee silt loam. Following construction
of the solar array, the site will be managed for native pollinator habitat.
2 Benefits of Pollinator-Friendly Solar
There are many benefits to installing native prairie plant communities on solar sites. Pollinator
friendly solar sequesters carbon into the soil through plants, while carbon emissions are
simultaneously reduced by using renewable solar energy. Planting native prairie species
restores soil by preventing erosion, improving soil structure, increasing carbon storage,
diversifying microbial communities, and increasing soil fertility. In addition to supporting native
wildlife, these improvements to the soil will increase the value of the soil for future agricultural
production once the solar panels are removed. Agricultural benefits are not limited to future
land use. Supporting native pollinator populations can increase yields of nearby pollinator-
dependent crops such as soybeans, apples, and many vegetables.
The aesthetic benefits of pollinator habitat provide additional services to the local community
for those who appreciate observing the wildflowers, birds, butterflies, and other species that
are drawn to the solar site. Native prairie plants prevent stormwater runoff and improve
surrounding water quality, which is an important consideration following the construction of
solar projects. While the initial costs and amount of planning needed for installing and
managing native pollinator habitat may be greater than turfgrass, the benefits outweigh the
costs. Following the first five years of management, as the hardier native plant communities
become established, reduced maintenance needs are anticipated for the remainder of the time
the solar array is in operation.
3 Site Preparation and Temporary Seeding
Construction debris and building materials will be cleared from the seeding area. An herbicide
application may be required to remove undesirable vegetation from the site. The type of
herbicide used will depend on the target species observed during initial site inspections by
environmental specialists. If an herbicide such as glyphosate is used, this would necessitate a
10-day waiting period before disturbing the soil or seeding.
The environmental specialist overseeing site preparation activities and selecting herbicide
treatments for noxious and invasive species suppression will have comprehensive knowledge
and experience selecting and applying herbicides for restricting invasive species and managing
vegetation to encourage native plant communities. Additionally, the environmental specialist
ONEENERGY RENEWABLES • 2003 WESTERN AVE • STE 225 • SEATTLE, WA 98121
WWW.ONEENERGYRENEWABLES.COM
will have detailed knowledge of Wisconsin flora, excellent vegetation identification skills, and
experience in ecological restoration that includes overseeing and conducting native prairie
restoration and vegetation assessments.
Winter wheat or oats will be used as a cover crop depending on the time of year and based on
the WDNR Technical Standard (1059) and the WisDOT seeding specification (630). For example,
construction may delay seeding from fall until the following spring, in which case a cover crop
would be used. A cover crop is also used during construction as part of the Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan.
4 Permanent Seeding
The soil will be disced and then either harrowed or raked to prepare the soil for seeding. Native
grasses will be seeded using a mechanical broadcast spreader at a depth of ¼ to ½-inch.
Depending on site conditions, a nurse crop such as winter wheat will be seeded to stabilize the
soil. Following grass seeding, the site will be raked and harrowed. Wildflowers and sedges will
be seeded using a mechanical broadcast spreader and covered by raking the site.
The primary seed mix used will be a diverse mix of around 30 species designed by
environmental specialists to suit site-specific soil and microclimate conditions and to provide
continuous forage and habitat for pollinators. The seed mix includes flowering species with a
wide range of bloom times to cover each season pollinators are active. Additionally, a lowland
seed mix will be used on 2.07 acres of the site. Upland and lowland seed mix examples can be
found in Appendix B.
Changes to plant species and their proportions in the mix may be necessary depending on seed
availability at the time of planting. The diversity of species and quality of the mix will be
maintained.
5 Vegetation Management and Monitoring
Vegetation will be managed to achieve the following objectives:
1. Establish native vegetation cover as prescribed in the selected pollinator seed mixes.
2. Maintain complete vegetation cover while limiting noxious and invasive species.
3. Encourage the growth of flowering species to provide continuous forage and habitat for
pollinators.
During the germination year, the site will be mowed to reduce competition and control weed
growth. Additional mowing may be required to prevent annual and biennial weeds from setting
seed. Vegetation will be mowed to a height of 8” and clippings will be mulched in place. During
the establishment period, which spans 2 to 5 years after seeding, mowing should occur 2 to 3
times per year subject to the recommendations of the environmental specialist. Following the
establishment period, the site will be mowed as needed for weed and invasive species control
ONEENERGY RENEWABLES • 2003 WESTERN AVE • STE 225 • SEATTLE, WA 98121
WWW.ONEENERGYRENEWABLES.COM
and to intermittently remove biomass. A suggested timeline for vegetation management is
provided in Section 7.
The following objectives will be achieved through vegetation monitoring:
1. Document the presence of targeted native species.
2. Document the presence of noxious and invasive species.
3. Provide recommendations for appropriate corrective actions to promote and maintain
the planned vegetative cover and limit noxious and invasive species.
Specific maintenance activities and timelines will depend on observations during seasonal site
inspections to determine vegetation growth progress and whether undesirable species are
present. Following a fall seeding, these inspections would begin in late April to mid-June.
Following a spring seeding, inspections should begin by mid-May.
Vegetation Management Reports (VMR) will be completed during each site visit to record the
amount of vegetation cover, vegetation height, and presence of noxious and invasive species
and targeted native species. Recommended next steps will be noted, and management plans
will remain flexible to reflect changes in vegetation and noxious and invasive species pressure.
6 Invasive and Weed Species Management
In addition to the removal of invasive species, plant species will be suppressed if they are likely
to either outcompete the native species planted or grow to a height that would potentially
shade the solar panels. Noting noxious and invasive species through well-timed site inspections
and proactively controlling these species during the establishment phase is critical for the long-
term success of native vegetation establishment. Control of noxious and invasive species may
include spot-spraying, spot-mowing, hand weeding, wicking, or other methods selected by the
environmental specialist and depending on the target species and time of year.
If necessary, the following herbicides may be used for spot-treatment: glyphosate, triclopyr,
clopyralid, or aminopyralid. Glyphosate is a non-selective systemic herbicide used to treat
broadleaf weeds, grasses, and woody plants, and triclopyr is a selective systemic herbicide used
to control woody and herbaceous broadleaf species. Clopyralid and aminopyralid are selective
herbicides used to target broadleaf weeds, especially clover and thistle. Herbicide contact with
native species will be limited and herbicides will not be used when wind speeds exceed 10 mph
to prevent drift.
Other herbicides may be utilized based on the target species observed and identified for
management. Environmental specialists will identify actual herbicide prescriptions based on
observations during site inspections. The site will be inspected at least twice a year – once
from late April to mid-May, and again in mid-June. Site inspections may be needed at other
times, depending on the life cycle of the species targeted for removal. Spot-mowing and
ONEENERGY RENEWABLES • 2003 WESTERN AVE • STE 225 • SEATTLE, WA 98121
WWW.ONEENERGYRENEWABLES.COM
removal of invasive species and other weeds will be completed as needed. If biomass removal
is needed, the site can be mowed every three years using a flail mower. After the initial 5-year
establishment period, the site should not be mowed more than once per year.

6. For 2023, property tax was imposed on property in the City at the rate of $19.338652
per $1,000 of the assessed value for property.
7. For 2023, DOR set the Full Value Assessment of the Broadway Property at
$66,345,500 (a/k/a Estimated Fair Market Value) which translated to an Equated Assessment (a/k/a
as the Assessed Value) of $58,960,200.
8. Based on the values listed in paragraph 7 of this Claim, the City imposed taxes on the
Broadway Property for 2023 in the amount of $1,140,136.44.
9. Claimant timely paid the property taxes imposed by the City on the Broadway
Property for 2023, or the required installments thereof.
10. Pursuant to a Settlement Agreement dated June 5, 2025 (copy attached), DOR
reduced the Full Value Assessment (a/k/a Estimated Fair Market Value) of the Broadway Property to
$62,363,600 for 2023 which translates to an Equated Assessment (a/k/a as the Assessed Value) of
$55,421,600 for 2023.
11. Based on the above tax rate and the reduced assessment for 2023, the taxes that
should have been levied against the Broadway Property were $1,071,704.69.
12. Claimant is entitled, therefore, to a refund in the amount of $68,431.75 for 2023 for
the Broadway Property.
13. The City shall issue a refund in the amount $68,431.75 payable to Georgia-Pacific
Consumer Products LP and remit to Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren s.c. the Agent for the Claimant at
1000 N. Water Street, Suite 1700, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.
