Conservation Corps crews are responsible for improving trail systems throughout Green Bay, invigorating pollinator habitats with new native plantings, and improving native habitats with restoration practices. About Your Green Initiative or Project Overview, goals, timeline, and project activities: The Green Bay Conservation Corps has been working to create the “Pollinator Corridor” throughout the City by establishing native plantings. At the same time, the Green Bay Sustainability Commission has been seeking an alternative program to “No Mow May” to better support pollinators in our area. In the spring of 2026, the Conservation Corps will launch a free native plant kit giveaway for Green Bay residents to meet the goals of both groups. The program will distribute 200 free native plant kits, each containing 15 plants (sun/shade variations), grown by AmeriCorps members. These kits will include planting plans, maintenance guides, a yard sign, and educational materials. Breakdown of projected costs for the project including requested amount: We are requesting $1,000 to help partner with this free plant kit giveaway project. The expected costs of the project include $400 for soil, $600 for pots, $250 for seeds, $200 for a hoophouse, $1,100 for greenhouse supplies and improvements, $300 for promotional and educational packets, and $2,000 for yard signs to promote the program. We have secured $3,850 from the Natural Resource Foundation and are seeking funding for the remaining $1,000. Describe the community need addressed by your program or project: Native plants benefit the local wildlife, as well as improve water filtration and quality. Both are local needs of Green Bay. This program removes the financial barrier and educational gaps that may prevent Green Bay residents from benefiting from a native garden. Describe any educational components of your program or project: Each plant kit will have an educational packet. This packet will include how-to guides for preparing a planting site, how to plant, and how to maintain plantings. Additionally, they will include suggested plant designs, descriptions of each species, the benefits of native species, and resources for future projects. All educational documents will be made available for download on the Conservation Corps’ website. Plant kits will also come with a yard sign to promote the native plantings. These signs will have QR codes to the guides online. It is the intention that the yard signs will help spread awareness and educate neighbors about pollinators, native species, and water quality improvements. Describe how the project will be evaluated: Recipients of a kit will be asked to complete a follow-up survey assessing residents’ knowledge gain, satisfaction with the kit, likelihood to maintain or expand native plantings, and photographic documentation of installed plantings. The number of residents who apply, receive kits, and report planting success will be tracked, mapped, and documented for future expansion. Provide examples of past measurable impact of organization’s environmental work: The Green Bay Conservation Corps has installed over 50,000 native flower species in city parks. These plantings included a rain garden at Navarino Park that eliminated flooding in the park. Surveys of the installed plantings have also resulted in documenting the Federally Endangered Rusty Patched Bumblebee at 11 new sites within the City of Green Bay. This resulted in the Fish and Wildlife Service updating the Rusty Patched Bumblebee “high potential” zones for federal funding. The Conservation Corps has also removed nearly 200 acres of invasive species, planted over 500 native trees and shrubs, hosted an annual average of 350 volunteers, and installed/maintained over 3 miles of public trails annually.  GRANT TRACKING FORM PART #1: Notification of Grant Funds (emailto:PamelaMa@greenbaywi.gov) APPLICANT DEPARTMENT: PRF DATE: 12/01/2025 APPLICANT DEPARTMENT GRANT CONTACT NAME/TITLE: Maria Otto/Conservation Corps Coordinator APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE: Finance/Parks NAME OF GRANT/FUNDING SOURCE: Green Gifts / Cellcom AMOUNT OF GRANT REQUEST: $1,000 LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENT: $0 SOURCE OF MATCH: General Fund Non-General Fund Not Applicable TIMEFRAME OF GRANT: 01/01/2026 through 06/30/2026 TYPE OF GRANT REQUEST: Monetary Other (explain under ‘purpose of grant’) PURPOSE OF GRANT (summary): Fund the free native plant kit giveaway, specifically with the cost of yard signs.

BACKGROUND The Joannes Aquatic Center opened in 1996. It is nearing 30 years old and is in need of some major maintenance repairs in the next few years just to keep this facility open to the public. The Parks Department hired a consultant and created a masterplan/phasing plan for improvements to Joannes aquatic center. This plan was approved by the Parks Committee and City Council. Planned Phase 1 improvements included mechanical equipment replacement, new pool gutters, concrete repair to the surge tank, re-plastring the entre pool basin and various upgrades to water play amenities within the pool basin footprint. Staff sent out requests for proposals to 8 consultanting firms. Only 2 companies submitted a proposal. Staff is recommending to contract services with the low quote, Water Technology, Inc., for a total cost of $179,568. The selected consultant will be required to complete the necessary engineering and construction bid documents for the planned Phase 1 improvements. RECOMMENDATION To approve. FISCAL IMPACT The total cost to hire the consultant is $179,568. The City bonded $200,000 in 2025 to hire this consultant. The total estimated cost to construct the Phase 1 improvements is $2,250,000. The City approved bonding $1,125,000 in 2026 and committed to bonding $1,125,000 in 2027 to construct this project.

(WTI) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal in response to the City of Green Bay Department of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry’s Request for Proposals for professional design services for the Joannes Aquatic Center – Phase I Upgrades. With the facility approaching three decades of successful operation, we recognize the importance of addressing essential repairs while positioning the Center for the next chapter of community use. Our Team brings more than 40 years of dedicated aquatic design expertise, supported by licensed engineers, designers, and technical specialists who work daily within Wisconsin’s regulatory environment. We maintain a deep working knowledge of codes, regulation, and permitting—along with strong relationships with state and local officials—ensuring that all design documents meet or exceed applicable standards and industry best practices. This experience, paired with a national portfolio of renovations, modernizations, and new-build aquatic environments, gives us a clear understanding of the complexities of restoring aging infrastructure while seamlessly integrating new features that improve safety, enhance guest experience, and support long-term operational efficiency. The City’s defined structure for Phase I—divided into Phase A and Phase B—is clear in its intent to ensure each component is independently bid-ready. Based on our experience and expertise with multi-phase aquatic improvements, WTI is proposing an approach that advances Phase A and Phase B concurrently. This method maximizes efficiencies for the City by: » Allowing coordinated design development that avoids duplication of work across two separate timelines; » Ensuring constructability alignment between repairs and new features; and » Producing a seamless bid package where Phase B elements can be cleanly carried as alternates, fully contingent upon funding. Should the City prefer to maintain strict separation between phases, WTI has provided a clear delineation of deductive cost associated with removing Phase B components from the combined development effort. Please note that this deductive value differs from what it would cost to reintroduce Phase B after Phase A has been completed independently. Per the outlined scope, WTI does not anticipate the need for subconsultants on this project. Should that change at any point, we will notify the City to fully disclose the role and scope of any added team members. We are committed to delivering solutions that are technically sound, community-focused, financially responsible, and aligned with the City’s long-term vision for Joannes Aquatic Center. WTI appreciates the opportunity to support Green Bay in revitalizing this well-loved facility, and we look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with your team on a successful and sustainable upgrade. If any questions or clarifications arise during your review, our team is readily available and happy to assist.

The Evansville Aquatic Center replaces the aging municipal pool, 31 S Madison St. and is now relocated to a 24-acre site, formerly West Side Park, now known as Larson Acres Park. Named in honor of Don and Virginia Larson, local community members P.O. Box 529 whose family farmed the land for decades and played a pivotal role in supporting Evansville, WI 53536 park improvement projects. The vibrant aquatic center quickly became a cherished Evansville centerpiece. COMPLE TE D Opened the same summer, at Leonard-Leota Park, a state-of-the-art Spray Pad also 2024 serves the Evansville Community. WTI worked alongside the prime architect, who led the master planning and design for this dual park upgrade. WTI provided aquatic AWARDS / FE ATURES planning, design, and engineering services for both the Aquatic Center and Spray Pad. Aquatic Design Portfolio The Evansville Aquatic Center features one multi-purpose body of water, providing Athletic Business, 2025 aquatic recreation, play, competition, and leisure. The zero-depth-entry splash and play area invites and promotes play for little ones and their parents or guardians. WE BSITE Deeper water connects this play area to the circular activity pool; basketball hoops evansvillewi.gov anchor this space, and guests may find themselves competing here for hours. Open water provides endless opportunities for recreational play. The current channel offers aerobic programming opportunities such as resistance walking, as well as provides a space for guests looking to relax and leisurely float. The six-lane, 25-yard competition pool is ideal for lap swimming, swim practice, and meets. In addition to diving blocks, an aquatic climbing wall is also located in this space. Completing the aquatic offering is a waterslide tower, featuring two body slides terminating into runouts.
