BACKGROUND
On February 14, 2024, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to partner with the Redevelopment
Authority (RDA) and Green Bay Metro Fire Department on the preparation of a redevelopment proposal
for RDA-owned land, commonly referred to as the former Badger Sheet Metal site. The RDA acquired the
5.25-acre property in 2018 as part of its efforts to eliminate blight and redevelop brownfields within the
South Broadway Corridor near the City’s Shipyard park project.
The selected development team was tasked with preparing a comprehensive redevelopment proposal
including multi-family housing, a fire station, administrative offices for fire services, and commercial space.
Upon completion of a feasible redevelopment proposal, the City and developer could proceed with
consideration of a development agreement and subsequent construction.
In May 2024, the RFQ process resulted in the RDA selecting General Capital Group as the development
partner, with Wendel-Five Bugles assigned to preliminary fire station design and Engberg-Anderson assigned
to housing design. Since that time, City staff have worked closely with the developer to prepare a feasible
proposal. In May 2025, the RDA approved an offer to purchase the site, contingent upon a future
development agreement. In July 2025, the RDA granted the developer an Option to execute a Ground Lease
for the property, allowing the City to complete soil remediation and close out a U.S. EPA Brownfields
Cleanup Grant prior to land acquisition. The Option specifies that the Ground Lease will require a one-time
Base Rent payment of $1,600,000, due upon execution.
The RDA and Common Council have also approved funding commitment letters to the developer,
contingent on the approval of a development agreement. These included up to $3,500,000 in Federal
Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) funds and $5,100,000 in City ARPA and general obligation bond funding
for a Fire Station Loan.
A development agreement (2025-08) has now been drafted and is under consideration by the RDA and
Common Council. The developer, GenCap Fire Station Apartments, LLC, a subsidiary of General Capital
Group, has proposed a project including 85 affordable housing units, one commercial unit, a fire station, and
fire department administrative offices. The housing units will serve households with incomes between 30%
100 North Jefferson Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin 54301-5026
greenbaywi.gov
and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI), as detailed in the matrix below. The developer has submitted a 4%
non-compentitive housing tax credit application to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development
Authority (WHEDA).
The project aligns with the Department’s vision to link and leverage natural, built, human, and social assets to
generate valuable products, services, and experiences within the City, for it will:
• Remediate environmental contamination and enhance the physical landscape.
• Deliver high-performance building designs, systems, and finishes.
• Create a significantly higher per-acre property value than adjacent properties and the City average.
• Generate property taxes greater than the cost of providing infrastructure and services.
• Support job creation for skilled workers.
• Provide accessible housing for individuals of all ages and abilities.
• Be located in a walkable, bikeable, and transit-accessible area.
• Expand the City’s mix of residential and commercial real estate products.
• Enhance public spaces, amenities, and community assets.
The City’s Department of Community & Economic Development has prioritized expanding the supply of
rental housing at all price points. The 2020 Housing Market Study identified a gap of 3,715 units affordable to
households at or below 30% of AMI, a surplus of 8,870 units affordable to households between 31–50% of
AMI, and a shortage of 1,285 units for households between 51–80% of AMI. The addition of 85 affordable
units through this project will help address the undersupply at multiple affordability levels.
As of January 1, 2025, the property is tax exempt. Upon project completion, the City estimates the
aggregate assessed property value at $7,000,000, expected to generate approximately $139,440 in total real
estate taxes annually, including $56,840 in annual revenue to the City of Green Bay.
The developer’s pro forma demonstrates a funding gap, confirming the project meets the statutory “but for”
test: but for City and RDA participation, the project would not proceed. To address this gap, the developer
has requested Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGo) TIF assistance and an upfront project grant. Pursuant to §66.1105,
Wis. Stats. (the “Tax Increment Law”), the City has included the property within Tax Increment District No.
22 (TID 22), which will provide part of the financing for certain project costs. The City will also be
responsible for construction costs of the Fire Station, which will be bid separately at a later date.
The Fire Station Apartments project represents a major public-private partnership that advances key
community goals: increasing affordable housing supply, modernizing critical fire service infrastructure,
page 2 of 4
remediating a brownfield site, and catalyzing redevelopment along the South Broadway Corridor. Approval
of the development agreement will allow this transformative project to move forward, delivering long-term
benefits to both residents and the City as a whole.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve Development Agreement 25-08 with GenCap Green Bay Fire Station Apartments, LLC for the
development of 420 S. Broadway, 402 S. Broadway, 421 Arndt Street, and portions of 419 Maple Avenue
(Tax Parcels 3-569, 3-572, 3-574, 2-947), and authority for the Director to approve a collateral assignment,
subject to legal review.
FISCAL IMPACT
Tax Increment Financing (TIF)
The Developer has requested a TIF incentive package that includes:
• PAYGo TIF Reimbursement: 80% of the Available TID Increment, to be provided to the Developer
until all qualified expenditures have been repaid, or until the TID expires or is earlier terminated.
The City shall not be obligated to pay more than the Tax Incentive Cap of $1,500,000.
• Upfront TIF Project Grant: $1,600,000, which would offset $1,600,000 in land lease revenues
provided by the developer using federal ERA2 funds authorized by Brown County.
Fire Station Loan
The City has previously committed a $5,100,000 loan to support the construction of the fire station and fire
administration offices. The loan would be funded with up to $1,000,000 of federal ARPA funding and
$4,100,000 of general obligation levy bonds. The loan carries a 0% interest rate and a 30-year term.
ERA2 Grant Funds
The City has also committed up to $3,500,000 in federal ERA2 grant funds for the Fire Station Apartments
affordable housing project. Funds would be shared between the City and the Developer to cover eligible
costs. The sub-grant budget currently identifies:
• Approximately $1,197,000 in pre-development/site preparation costs incurred by the City.
• Approximately $2,052,000 in pre-development costs incurred by the Developer.
Eligible costs must be incurred between April 17, 2025, and September 30, 2025. If additional eligible costs
are identified during this period (not to exceed the $3,500,000 cap), they may be considered through a
future budget amendment.
Ground Lease / Land Acquisition Proceeds
The Developer will make a one-time Base Rent payment of $1,600,000 to the City upon execution of the
Ground Lease. The Ground Lease will include an option for the Developer to purchase the property for
$1.00 at any time following the U.S. EPA Grant closeout.
Fire Station Unit Construction, Lease, and Acquisition Option
The City will be responsible for the construction costs of the fire station condominium unit, which will be
bid at a later date. The Developer will own the building and lease the fire station unit to the City through a
20-year triple-net lease at $1.00. Following construction completion, the City may exercise an option to
page 3 of 4
purchase the fire station unit for $1.00.
Summary
The City’s participation in the project includes a $5.1 million loan commitment, up to $3.5 million in ERA2
grant funds, and TIF support valued at up to $3.1 million ($1.5 million PAYGo plus a $1.6 million upfront
grant). These commitments are offset in part by a $1.6 million Ground Lease payment from the Developer.
Funding requests for HOME, HOME-ARP, and EPA Revolving Loan Funds will be considered through
separate approvals. The project structure ensures that affordable housing, a modern fire station, and
associated redevelopment goals can be delivered while balancing the use of federal resources, TIF assistance,
and City investment.

defined as the following:
1. Property Transfer. The City and/or RDA shall convey a leasehold interest in the Property to
the Developer through the following process:
a) The RDA and Developer shall negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a ground lease
(the “Ground Lease”) pursuant to which Developer will ground lease the Property
for a period of ninety (90) years (the “Ground Lease Term”). “Base Rent” under the
Ground Lease will be in the amount of $1,600,000 for the Ground Lease Term and

2. Project Grant. The City shall provide One Million Six Hundred Thousand and No/100 dollars
($1,600,000) of TIF Incentive as a “Project Grant” to the Wisconsin Preservation Fund, Inc.
or other designee of Developer (“Designee”) upon Developer fulfilling all obligations identified
in Sections IV.A., IV.B., IV.C., IV.E., IV.F., IV.G., IV.H., and IV.I. of this Agreement regarding the
proposed Project. The City acknowledges that the Project Grant will be loaned by Designee
to Developer for purposes of reimbursing Developer for, or paying for, Qualified
Expenditures as referenced below.
a) Such Project Grant shall be for purposes of paying certain Qualified Expenditures as
referenced below. Developer shall provide the RDA with written evidence that
Developer has incurred any such Qualified Expenditures and within ten (10) days of
receipt, when practicable, but no later than 30 days, of such aforementioned evidence,
the City or the RDA shall disburse to Designee such portion of the Project Grant
necessary to pay such Qualified Expenditures.
b) Intentionally Deleted.
c) The Developer guarantees the amount of property taxes to be paid with respect to
the Property and Private Improvements shall not be less than $139,440 in the
aggregate in tax year 2028 and each year thereafter until and including the 2042 tax
year (the “Guaranteed Annual Real Estate Tax Payment”). To the extent the property
taxes paid are less than the Guaranteed Annual Real Estate Tax Payment for an
applicable year, the Developer shall pay a Shortfall Payment to the City in cash on or
before July 31 of the year following the tax year in which the property taxes are billed.
“Shortfall Payment” means the amount to be paid by the Developer as the shortfall,
if any, between the Guaranteed Annual Real Estate Tax Payment and the amount of
taxes billed.
3. PAYGo Reimbursement. The City shall provide an additional TIF Incentive as a pay-as-you-go
(PAYGo) obligation of the City, which is further defined as follows:
a) Subject to receipt of the Project Grant, Developer shall be responsible to incur and
pay all of the upfront costs of the Project.
b) The assessed value of the Property and the Private Improvements shall be determined
on January 1 of each tax year and shall be compared to the assessed value of the
Property and Private Improvements as of January 1, 2025. The difference in assessed
values shall be known as the “Incremental Property Value.”
c) Incremental Property Value multiplied by the assessed mill rate plus the Shortfall
Payment shall equal the Available Tax Increment.
d) The City shall make available not more than eighty percent (80%) of the Available TIF
Increment to the Developer pursuant to Section III.B.3(e).
e) PAYGo Reimbursement payments will be payable to Developer in the year following
the year of the Available Tax Increment determination, within thirty (30) days after
Developer has provided proof to the City of the full payment of the real estate taxes,
Shortfall Payment, special assessments and special charges against the Property and
Private Improvements for the previous year. PAYGo Reimbursement payments shall
commence after the first certificate of occupancy for the Project has been issued. For
example, if the first occupancy permit is issued on September 1, 2027, the TIF
page 6 of 35
Increment would be determined as of January 1, 2028 and the PAYGo Reimbursement
would first be payable in 2029.
4. Qualified Expenditures. Qualified Expenditures for purposes of this Agreement include the
following:
a) Hard and soft costs, including without limitation engineering and design fees, incurred
in connection with the design and construction of Public Improvements, as defined in
Section II.N., and environmental remediation, and asbestos abatement as required by
State and Federal law; then
b) Hard and soft costs, including without limitation engineering and design fees, incurred
in connection with the design and construction of “Private Improvements” specifically
approved by the City or RDA as stated in Section IV. C.; and
c) Any other activity specifically approved by the City or RDA.
5. Assignment. Developer may assign any of its payment rights hereunder to any lender(s)
providing financing for the Project and to any future purchaser or developer of any part of
the Property upon approval of the RDA, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed; provided however, that the City shall be obligated only to disburse
TIF Incentives to the party with whom the City has an agreement. It shall be incumbent upon
Developer to enter into a separate agreement with any third parties if it intends to assign its
payment rights hereunder, or seek either reimbursement or allocation of any Available Tax
Increment.
C. Limitations. The TIF Incentive available to Developer for the Project is limited as follows:
1. Monetary Limitation. The PAYGo TIF Incentive in any year shall not exceed the 80% of the
Available Tax Increment for the Property.
2. PayGo Tax Incentive Cap. The City shall not be obligated to pay PAYGo Reimbursement
payments in excess of the lesser of one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,00.00)
or the total amount of Qualified Expenses incurred and paid by Developer.
3. Tax Receipts Limitation. Only the Available Tax Increment actually received by the City, and
no other property, revenue, or asset of the City, shall be used to pay such amounts.
4. Temporal Limitation. Provided Developer qualifies for TIF Incentive and provides adequate
proof to the City and RDA that Developer has incurred and paid Qualified Expenditures and
provided Developer and all transferees have paid the real estate taxes, Shortfall Payments and
any Special Assessments and Special Charges in full for the previous tax year by July 31, PAYGo
Reimbursement payments shall be made within thirty (30) days after Developer has provided
proof to the City of the full payment of the real estate taxes, Shortfall Payment, Special
Assessments and special charges; provided, however, in no event shall PAYGo
Reimbursement payments continue after the earlier of the termination date of the TID or the
termination of this Agreement if before the termination of the TID.
D. No General Obligation of City. The City’s obligation to make TIF Incentive payments shall be a special
and limited obligation only and shall not be considered a general obligation of the City, and neither
the full faith and credit nor the taxing powers of the City are pledged to the payment of such amounts.
The City shall take no action to dissolve the TID before payment of all TIF Incentive payments due to
page 7 of 35
the Developer, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In no circumstances shall amounts to be
paid Developer hereunder be considered an indebtedness of the City, and the obligation of the City
hereunder is limited to the Tax Increment appropriated and received by the City. Amounts due
hereunder shall not count against the City’s constitutional debt limitation, and no taxes will be levied
for its payment or pledged to its payment other than from the Tax Increment.
E. Other City Obligations, Loans, Grants and Credits. The City shall provide additional assistance to the
Project, as follows:
1. EPA Grant. Developer and City acknowledge that City previously received a grant from the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA Grant”) to provide certain demolition and
remediation activities on the Property unrelated to the Project which are more particularly
described in Exhibit E. The City shall perform all work within the scope of the EPA Grant at
its own expense. Thereafter, the City shall submit all documentation and perform all activities
necessary to complete any reporting and close out procedures required by the documents
and regulations governing the EPA Grant (the “EPA Grant Closeout”).
2. Remedial Action Plan. The City has prepared, in consultation with Developer, and submitted
to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources a Remedial Action Plan (“RAP”) for the
Project which is attached hereto as Exhibit D. The City shall be responsible for performing,
at City’s sole cost, those activities set forth in Exhibit E which includes the scope of Work
within the EPA Grant and certain of the activities required by the RAP (together, the “City’s
Environmental Work”). Developer and City acknowledge that final case closure shall require
Developer to perform certain activities (e.g. cap and cover), at Developer’s cost, that will
occur as part of Developer’s construction of the Project. Developer shall be responsible for
performing those activities required by the RAP set forth in Exhibit F (“Developer’s RAP
Obligations”).
3. ERA2 Funds. City shall reimburse Developer or its Designee for all eligible project costs up
to $2,051,800 in ERA2 funding. City acknowledges that ERA2 funds must be expended by

AGENDA ITEM # E.2
Consideration with possible action on a Subrecipient Agreement with Brown County for Emergency Rental
Assistance (ERA) 2 Funding Affordable Housing Development, subject to final legal review and approval.
BACKGROUND
In April 2025, the Brown County Board of Supervisors authorized up to $3,500,000 in federal ERA2 funds to
be sub-granted to the City of Green Bay for affordable housing. The funds are specifically designated to
support the construction of housing units for households earning less than 50% of the Area Median Income
(AMI). While the funds are awarded to the City, they are specifically allocated to the Fire Station Apartments
project at 420 S. Broadway, proposed by a subsidiary of General Capital LLC.
The City and the developer, GenCap Green Bay Fire Station Apartments, LLC, intend to enter into a
development agreement for the project. The draft agreement outlines provisions for the ERA2 funding to be
provided to the developer. Within the sub-grant budget, approximately $2,052,000 is identified to reimburse
the developer for pre-development costs, while approximately $1,197,000 is identified to reimburse the City
for pre-development and site preparation costs.
All eligible costs must be incurred between April 17, 2025, and September 30, 2025. If additional eligible
costs are identified by the developer or the City during this timeframe, they may be considered as part of a
future budget amendment, provided the total amount does not exceed $3,500,000.
The allocation of ERA2 funds through this sub-grant and development agreement represents a significant
investment in affordable housing for Green Bay. By supporting the Fire Station Apartments project, the City
will help increase the supply of units available to households most in need, while also ensuring federal funds
are utilized efficiently and within required timelines.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve the Subrecipient Agreement with Brown County for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) 2
Funding Affordable Housing Development.
FISCAL IMPACT
The sub-grant would allow for up to $3,500,000 in federal ERA2 funds for the Fire Station Apartments
affordable housing project. Funds would be shared between the City and the developer to cover eligible
costs. The sub-grant budget identifies approximately $1,197,000 in pre-development/site preparation costs
incurred by the City of Green Bay, and approximately $2,052,000 in pre-development costs incurred by the
developer. Eligible costs must be incurred between April 17, 2025, and September 30, 2025. If additional
eligible costs are identified by the developer or the City during this time (not to exceed a total of
$3,500,000), those costs may be considered as part of a future budget amendment.

SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY OF BROWN
AND
CITY OF GREEN BAY
FOR
EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE (ERA) 2 FUNDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT
THIS SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT, entered as of the date of the last party to sign and date below,
by and between the COUNTY OF BROWN (herein called the “Grantee”) and CITY OF GREEN
BAY (herein called the “Subrecipient”).
WHEREAS, the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), through the Emergency Rental
Assistance (ERA) program has allowed eligible governmental units to elect to administer ERA funds
subject to certain conditions;
WHEREAS, ERA funding has been authorized by the Federal American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
(“ARPA”), to respond to the effects of the coronavirus health crisis;
WHEREAS, Brown County (“The Grantee”) received funding under the ERA program to assist
eligible households with financial assistance, provide housing stability services, and as applicable, to
cover the costs for other affordable rental housing and eviction prevention activities;
WHEREAS, the Grantee is the recipient of a grant (as more fully described in Exhibit A, the “ERA 2
Grant”) made available under ERA 2 from U.S. Treasury, in the total amount of $17,257,190
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Grant Agreement, Grantee is authorized to use the ERA funds for those
eligible activities described in Attachment A, Scope of Services;
Page 1 of 35
WHEREAS, the Subrecipient has proposed to provide affordable housing development including
specific units for Very Low Income (VLI) residents defined by the Treasury as, “low-income families
whose incomes do not exceed 50 per centum of the median family income for the area, as determined
by the Secretary [of Housing and Urban Development] with adjustments for smaller and larger
families, except that the Secretary may establish income ceilings higher or lower than 50 per centum
of the median for the area on the basis of the Secretary’s findings that such variations are necessary
because of unusually high or low family incomes”;
WHEREAS, the Subrecipient is a municipal government entity authorized to engage in affordable
housing development located in Brown County; and
WHEREAS, the Grantee wishes to involve the Subrecipient in so utilizing such funds by entering
into this Subrecipient Agreement (the “Agreement”).

C. Performance Monitoring
The Grantee will monitor the performance of the Subrecipient against goals and performance

Period. According to The Treasury, there is no extension of funding past September 30, 2025.
A 120-day period for the processing of invoices and final payments is allowed.
III. BUDGET
Page 3 of 35

the Grantee and the Subrecipient.
IV. PAYMENT

this Agreement shall not exceed the amount shown on the Budget at Attachment E.

The Grantee will pay to the Subrecipient funds available under this Agreement based
upon information submitted by the Subrecipient and consistent with any approved

Subrecipient, and not to exceed actual cash requirements. Payments will be adjusted
by the Grantee in accordance with advance fund and program income balances
available in Subrecipient accounts. In addition, the Grantee reserves the right to
liquidate funds available under this contract for costs incurred by the Grantee on behalf
of the Subrecipient. In no case shall reimbursement payments of eligible expenses
exceed Subrecipient’s allocation of grant funds or shall Grantee be obliged to make
payments pursuant to this Agreement from funds other than those received by Grantee
pursuant to the Grant Agreement.
In the event Grantee pays Subrecipient on an advance basis, Grantee may authorize
Subrecipient to submit requests for advance payments and reimbursements at least
monthly when electronic fund transfers are not used and as often as it prefers when
electronic transfers are used in accordance with the provisions of the Electronic Fund
Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693-1693r).
Per 2 CFR § 200.415, in order to assure that expenditures are in accordance with the
approved application and terms and conditions of the federal award, annual and final
fiscal reports and payment requests must include the following certification, signed by
an authorized official:
“By signing this report, I certify to the best of my knowledge and belief that the report
is true, complete, and accurate, and the expenditures, disbursements, and cash receipts
are for the purposes and objectives set forth in the terms and conditions of the federal
award. I am aware that any false, fictitious, or fraudulent information, or the omission
of any material fact, may subject me to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties for
fraud, false statements, false claims or otherwise (U.S. Code Title 18, Section 1001
and Title 31, Sections 3729-3730 and 3801- 3812).”

of this Agreement.

accounts receivable attributable to the use of funds under this Agreement at the
time of expiration, cancellation, or termination.
2. Real property under the Subrecipient’s control that was acquired or improved,
in whole or in part, with funds under this Agreement shall be used to meet one
of the ERA objectives for a period of twenty (20) years following termination
of this Agreement. If the Subrecipient fails to use ERA-assisted real property
in a manner that meets ERA objectives for the prescribed period of time, the
Subrecipient shall, consistent with 2 CFR 200.311 (1) retain title after
compensating Grantee an amount equal to the current fair market value of the
property less any portion of the value attributable to expenditures of non-ERA
funds for acquisition of, or improvement to, the property; (2) sell the real
property - the amount due to the Grantee will be calculated by applying the
Federal awarding agency's percentage of participation in the cost of the original
purchase (and cost of any improvements) to the proceeds of the sale after
deduction of any actual and reasonable selling and fixing-up expenses; or (3)
transfer title to the Grantee or a third party designated/approved by the Grantee
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, unless otherwise approved by the
Grantee.
3. In all cases in which equipment acquired, in whole or in part, with funds under
this Agreement is sold, the proceeds shall be program income (prorated to
reflect the extent to that funds received under this Agreement were used to
acquire the equipment). Equipment not needed by the Subrecipient for
activities under this Agreement shall be (a) transferred to the Grantee for the
ERA program or (b) retained after compensating the Grantee an amount equal
to the current fair market value of the equipment less the percentage of non-

As a condition of receipt of federal financial assistance under this Agreement,
Subrecipient provides the following assurances with respect to activities financed in
whole or in part by this federal assistance:
(a) Subrecipient will ensure its current and future compliance with Title VI of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, which prohibits exclusion from
participation, denial of the benefits of, or subjection to discrimination under
programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance, of any person in the
United States on the ground of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d
et seq.), as implemented by the Department of the Treasury Title VI regulations
at 31 CFR Part 22 and other pertinent executive orders such as Executive Order
13166, directives, circulars, policies, memoranda, and/or guidance documents.
(b) Subrecipient acknowledges that Executive Order 13166, “Improving Access to
Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency,” seeks to improve access
to federally assisted programs and activities for individuals who, because of
national origin, have Limited English proficiency (LEP). Subrecipient
understands that denying a person access to its programs, services, and activities
because of LEP is a form of national origin discrimination prohibited under Title
VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Department of the Treasury’s
implementing regulations. Accordingly, Subrecipient shall initiate reasonable
steps, or comply with the Department of the Treasury’s directives, to ensure that
LEP persons have meaningful access to its programs, services, and activities.
Subrecipient understands and agrees that meaningful access may entail providing
language assistance services, including oral interpretation and written translation
where necessary, to ensure effective communication in the Subrecipient’s
programs, services, and activities.
(c) Subrecipient agrees to consider the need for language services for LEP persons
when Subrecipient develops applicable budgets and conducts programs, services,
and activities. As a resource, the Department of the Treasury has published its
LEP guidance at 70 FR 6067. For more information on taking reasonable steps to
provide meaningful access for LEP persons, please visit http://www.lep.gov.
(d) Subrecipient acknowledges and agrees that compliance with the assurances
constitutes a condition of continued receipt of federal financial assistance and is
Page 19 of 35
binding upon Subrecipient and its successors, transferees, and assignees for the
period in which such assistance is provided. Subrecipient understands and agrees
that if any real property or structure is provided or improved with the aid of federal
financial assistance by the Department of the Treasury, this assurance obligates
the Subrecipient, or in the case of a subsequent transfer, the transferee, for the
period during which the real property or structure is used for a purpose for which
the federal financial assistance is extended or for another purpose involving the
provision of similar services or benefits. If any personal property is provided, this
assurance obligates the Subrecipient for the period during which it retains
ownership or possession of the property.
(e) Any Subrecipient, sub-Subrecipient, contractor, subcontractor, successor,
transferee, and assignee shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, which prohibits recipients of federal financial assistance from excluding
from a program or activity, denying benefits of, or otherwise discrimination
against a person on the basis of race, color, or national origin (42 U.S.C. § 2000d
et seq.), as implemented by the Department of Treasury’s Title VI regulations, 31
CFR part 22, which are herein incorporated by reference and made a part of this
agreement. Title VI also includes protection to persons with “Limited English
Proficiency” in any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, 42
U.S.C. § 2000d et seq., as implemented by the Department of the Treasury’s Title
VI regulations, 31 CFR Part 22, and herein incorporated by reference and made a
part of this agreement.
(f) Subrecipient shall cooperate with Grantee in any enforcement or compliance
review activities by the Department of Administration or the Department of the
Treasury of the aforementioned obligations. Enforcement may include
investigation, arbitration, mediation, litigation, and monitoring of any settlement
agreements that may result from these actions. Subrecipient shall comply with
information requests, on-site compliance reviews and reporting requirements.
(g) Subrecipient shall assist Grantee in maintaining a complaint log and informing the
Department of Administration and the Department of Treasury of any complaints
of discrimination on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, and limited
English proficiency covered by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
implementing regulations and provide, upon request, a list of all such reviews or
proceedings based on the complaint, pending or completed, including outcome.
Subrecipient shall also assist Grantee in informing the Department and the
Department of the Treasury if Grantee or Subrecipient have received no
complaints under Title VI.
(h) Subrecipient shall assist Grantee in providing documentation of an administrative
agency’s or court’s findings of non-compliance of Title VI and efforts to address
the non-compliance, including any voluntary compliance or other agreements
Page 20 of 35
between Subrecipient and the administrative agency that made the finding. If
Subrecipient settles a case or matter alleging such discrimination, Subrecipient
must provide documentation of the settlement. If Subrecipient has not been the
subject of any court or administrative agency finding of discrimination, please so
state.

This Agreement is subject to the requirements of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 (P. L. 88-352). In addition, this Agreement is subject to the reversionary clause

restrictions running with the land to be inserted in the deed or lease for such transfer,

(b) A covenant/transfer restriction including a reversionary clause consistent
with the terms and conditions found in Article VIII, Paragraph E., above.
The Subrecipient, in undertaking its obligation to carry out the program assisted
hereunder, agrees to take such measures as are necessary to enforce such covenants
and transfer restrictions, and will not itself so discriminate.

MEETING DATE PREPARED BY
September 11, 2025 Matthew Buchanan, Staff
AGENDA ITEM # E.3
Consideration with possible action on a professional services agreement with Wendel for design and
construction services for Green Bay Metro Fire Department Station No. 1, contingent on approval of
Development Agreement 2025-08.
BACKGROUND
On February 14, 2024, staff issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to partner with the Redevelopment
Authority (RDA) and Green Bay Metro Fire Department on the preparation of a redevelopment proposal
for the former Badger Sheet Metal site at 420 S. Broadway. The selected development team would
collaborate with City and Fire Department staff to prepare a comprehensive redevelopment proposal that
includes multi-family housing, a fire station, administrative offices for fire services, and commercial space.
Upon completion of a feasible redevelopment proposal, the City and developer could proceed with
consideration of a development agreement and subsequent construction.
In May 2024, the RFQ process resulted in the RDA selecting General Capital Group as the development
partner, with Wendel-Five Bugles assigned to preliminary fire station design and Engberg-Anderson assigned
to housing design.
Since that time, City staff have worked closely with General Capital Group, Wendel-Five Bugles, and
Engberg-Anderson to prepare a feasible redevelopment proposal. A development agreement (2025-08) has
been drafted and is now being considered for final approval by the RDA and Common Council.
If approved, additional final design and construction services for the City’s fire station will be required,
including schematic design, design development, construction documents, bidding, and construction
administration. Wendel-Five Bugles has presented a proposal to complete this scope of work for a total fee
of $1,035,000; however, initial work would be limited to schematic design which is estimated to cost
$207,000. The fee would be paid through a combination of federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds
designated for Fire Department purposes and general obligation levy bonds.
Approval of this proposal will ensure that the Fire Department’s facility needs are met as part of the larger
redevelopment project at 420 S. Broadway. Advancing the design phase will allow the project team to move
forward with final construction plans, maintain project momentum, and deliver a modernized fire station that
supports both public safety and broader redevelopment goals.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve a professional services agreement with Wendel for design and construction services for Green
Bay Metro Fire Department Station No. 1, contingent on approval of Development Agreement 2025-08.

SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FO R DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION
SERVICES FOR GREEN BAY METRO FI RE DEPARTMENT
STATION NO. 1
Dear Mr. Strautmanis,
Thank you for your continued effort in teaming with us and we are extremely excited about this project.
Having worked with the City of Green Bay for several years now, it is exciting to see progress being made
and hopefully the momentum will continue!
Attached is our proposal for services to Design and provide Construction Administration services for a new
fire headquarters facility located on the former Badger Sheet Metal Site in Green Bay, WI. Our team will
coordinate directly with Engberg Anderson and General Capital Group to ensure the fire departments need
to work seamlessly with the mixed used portions of the facility.
Extreme care in coordinating the detailed issues of fire department response in collaboration with everyday
users of the mixed-use development will be a top priority. We understand that we are designing and
engineering a state-of-the-art fire station headquarters that the City of Green Bay can be proud of, but also
coordination with the design of the mixed-use facility to have a cohesive environment where residents and
fire fighters can coexist.
Our Schematic Design Phase scope outlined below will confirm the final program of the new building space
as completed in the previous study phase. Careful review will begin in ensuring response driven circulation
and response. Requirements for the various building systems (structural, architectural, interior design,
mechanical, electrical, etc.) will be discussed and put into the overall package. Civil and Fire Protection
systems will be designed by other partners and will not be included in our scope, however we will
coordinate directly with these disciplines.
If you elect to proceed with the Design Development Phase, we will advance the preferred alternative
building layouts determined in the Schematic Phase, and provide more refined building drawings, along
with preliminary building system designs.
If you elect to proceed to the Final Design and Bid Phase, we will advance the Structural, Architecture,
Interior Finish Packages and MEP drawings to completion, apply for DSPS approval and work with
contractors brought forth by General Capital Group to ensure bidding requirements are met.

AGENDA ITEM # E.4
Consideration with possible action on awarding $1,000,000 of HOME-ARP funds and $550,000 of HOME
funds to General Capital Development LLC for the Fire Station Flats development to support the creation of
affordable housing.
BACKGROUND
General Capital Development, LLC (“Developer”) is proposing to construct the Fire Station Flats, a newly
constructed 85-unit affordable housing development located at 420 South Broadway. The proposed
development will consist of the new construction of one, four-story elevatored building. Upon completion,
the development will consist of 61, one bedroom/one bathroom units (716 square feet) and 24, two
bedroom/one bathroom units (1,120 square feet) for a total of 85 units targeting residents of all ages. The
Developer proposes to set aside all the units for residents earning 30, 50, 60, or 80 percent or less of the
Brown County Area Median Income (“AMI”). Five of the units will be set aside specifically for individuals who
are homeless or at risk of homelessness. In addition, eight units will be further layered with Section 8 project-
based vouchers (“PBV”s) whereby tenants will pay 30 percent of their adjusted gross income.
Staff underwrote the project. A funding gap of $2,225,000 still remains after the addition of HOME funds.
Should the developer secure the funds to fill the remaining gap, the development is projected to perform.
Staff recommends awarding $1,000,000 of HOME-ARP funds and $550,000 of HOME funds to support the
development of affordable housing contingent on the developer securing the remaining funding gap in the
project.
RECOMMENDATION
To award $1,000,000 of HOME-ARP funds and $550,000 of HOME funds to General Capital Development
LLC for the Fire Station Flats development to support the creation of affordable housing contingent on the
Developer securing the remaining funding gap in the project.

AGENDA ITEM # E.5
Consideration with possible action on a ground lease agreement with GenCap Green Bay Fire Station
Apartments LLC for 420 S. Broadway, 402 S. Broadway, 421 Arndt Street, and portions of 419 Maple
Avenue (Tax Parcels 3-569, 3-572, 3-574, 2-947), subject to final legal review and approval.
BACKGROUND
In July 2025, the Redevelopment Authority (RDA) approved an Option to execute a ground lease with
General Capital Acquisitions, LLC for the former Badger Sheet Metal site located at 402 and 420 S.
Broadway, 421 Arndt Street, and 419 Maple Street. General Capital has requested to execute the option
through a subsidiary, GenCap Green Bay Fire Station Apartments LLC. Execution of the ground lease allows
the developer to start construction prior to the land being sold. The RDA is obligated to maintain ownership
of the land until closure of a brownfield cleanup grant awarded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The grant is expected to be closed in late 2026; however, the developer would like the ability to start
construction at an earlier date. Therefore, the Ground Lease has been requested to allow the development
to proceed at the preferred timeline.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve the ground lease agreement with GenCap Green Bay Fire Station Apartments LLC for 420 S.
Broadway, 402 S. Broadway, 421 Arndt Street, and portions of 419 Maple Avenue (Tax Parcels 3-569, 3-572,
3-574, 2-947), subject to final legal review and approval.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Ground Lease requires a one-time payment of Base Rent in the amount of $1,600,000.00 that will be
due and payable upon execution of the Ground Lease. The Ground Lease will be a “triple net” lease
requiring tenant to pay for costs of redeveloping, owning and operating the Property, excluding certain costs
related to the remediation of environmental conditions being performed by the City pursuant to the EPA
Grant, and construction of the fire station. The Ground Lease will grant tenant the option to purchase the
Property after the completion of the closeout of the EPA Grant for a purchase price of $1.00.

(i) neither the Premises nor any part thereof, or interest therein or any
income therefrom (except to the extent covered by security deposited in accordance
with this Section 4.01(e)) would by reason of such postponement or deferment, be,
in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, in imminent danger of being forfeited or
lost or subject to any lien, encumbrance, or charge, and neither Landlord nor Tenant
would by reason thereof be subject to any civil or criminal liability;
(ii) Tenant shall have deposited with Depository cash or a letter of credit
in a form and from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in the amount so

with it directly to the Governmental Authority to whom such Imposition is payable and
any remaining monies, with interest, if any, shall be returned promptly to Tenant.
(g) Landlord shall not be required to join in any proceedings referred to in this
ARTICLE IV unless the provisions of any Law at the time in effect shall require that such
proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord, in which event, Landlord shall join
and reasonably cooperate in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name
but shall not be liable for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any such

such contest or proceeding (except to the extent such contest is prohibited pursuant to the terms of
the Development Agreement) and, at the request of Tenant, to reasonably cooperate with Tenant
in pursuing such contest or proceeding, but without expense to Landlord. Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all Liabilities arising by reason of or in connection
with any such contest or proceeding. If all any part of an Imposition is refunded to either Landlord

liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses for any loss including but not limited to bodily injury

to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant, and its permitted successors and assigns, shall have the
right to Transfer this Lease or any interest herein or any right or privilege appurtenant hereto which
Tenant desires to Transfer to a Leasehold Mortgagee, to the extent permitted in ARTICLE XI of
this Lease. Landlord agrees to recognize any Leasehold Mortgagee as Tenant for the performance
of all duties and obligations arising due to the interest of this Lease being so Transferred; provided,
however, it is hereby agreed and acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that Tenant and its
permitted successors and assigns shall not be relieved of its liability for the performance of such
duties or obligations by any such Transfer.
Section 10.05 Purchase Option. Commencing on the day after the date on which EPA

as is mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant. At closing, Developer shall convey title to the
Premises subject to all matters of record existing on the Effective Date and matters created by and
arising through Tenant, but not subject to any mortgages or other recorded monetary liens and
shall convey to Developer, its right title and interest in this Lease. Developer shall convey the
Premises in its "AS IS" condition without any warranties or representations whatsoever (except
Landlord’s warranties set forth in Section 19.01 of the Lease), and Tenant shall obtain at its
expense any title insurance it desires in connection with the conveyance. Landlord and Tenant
shall execute and deliver to one another at closing such documents as are customary in connection
with a sale of property similar to the Premises and the costs and expenses of closing will be paid
by Landlord and Tenant in accordance with customary practices for similar transactions.

ARTICLE XI

Section 11.01 Fee Mortgages. Landlord shall not mortgage its fee interest in the Premises.
Section 11.02 Mortgaging of the Leasehold. Tenant, and every permitted successor and
assign of Tenant, shall have the right to encumber its interest in this Lease without Landlord’s

54471065

of Leasehold Mortgagees. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but, in any event, subject to a Leasehold
Mortgagee’s curative rights set forth in Section 11.06 and Section 11.07 hereof), nothing herein
shall be deemed to prohibit Landlord from terminating this Lease in accordance with its terms.
Section 11.04 Notices to Leasehold Mortgagees. Landlord, upon serving Tenant with
any notice of default or termination, shall simultaneously serve a copy of such notice on all
Leasehold Mortgagees (provided Landlord has been notified in writing of the identity and address
of such Leasehold Mortgagees). Any Leasehold Mortgagee shall then have the same period of time
after service of the notice on it as was given to the Tenant under this Lease to remedy or cause to
be remedied Tenant’s default under this Lease, and Landlord shall accept performances by, or at
the instigation of, a Leasehold Mortgagee as if it had been done by Tenant. Any notice required to
be given to a Leasehold Mortgagee shall be provided as set forth in ARTICLE XVII of this Lease.
Section 11.05 Curative Rights of Leasehold Mortgagees. In addition to the rights
granted to Leasehold Mortgagees under Section 11.04 hereof, each Leasehold Mortgagee shall
have an additional period of forty-five (45) days to remedy or cause to be remedied any default of
which it receives notice.
Section 11.06 Limitation Upon Termination Rights of Landlord. If Landlord shall elect
to terminate this Lease by reason of any default of Tenant, a Leasehold Mortgagee shall also have
the right to postpone and extend the date of termination as fixed by the provisions of this Lease for
a period of not more than thirty (30) days from the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period
specified in Section 11.05 hereof. If at the end of such period, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall be
actively engaged in steps to acquire Tenant’s interest in the Lease, the time for such Leasehold
Mortgagee to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.06 shall be extended for such period
as shall be reasonably necessary to complete these steps with reasonable diligence and continuity.
In no event shall Leasehold Mortgagee have any obligation to cure any default of Tenant under
this Lease.
Section 11.07 Mortgagee Lease. Landlord agrees that in the event of a termination of this
Lease by reason of any default by Tenant, or if Tenant rejects the Lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding, and subject to the rights herein granted to Leasehold Mortgagees, Landlord will enter
into a lease (the “Mortgagee Lease”) of the Premises with a Leasehold Mortgagee for the
remainder of the Term effective as of the date of termination, at the same Rent and upon the same
terms, provisions, covenants, and agreements as contained in this Lease, provided:
(a) Such Leasehold Mortgagee shall make written request upon Landlord for
the execution of such a Mortgagee Lease within ten (10) days after the date of termination
and shall, within ten (10) days after its receipt from Landlord of a written statement of all
sums then due to Landlord under this Lease, pay to Landlord all such sums (with the
15
54471065
exception of sums due by reason of Tenant’s indemnification obligations set forth in
Section 9.01).
(b) Leasehold Mortgagee shall perform and observe all covenants contained in
the Mortgagee Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed during such period of time
commencing with the date of the execution of the Mortgagee Lease and terminating upon
the expiration or earlier termination of the Mortgagee Lease or the abandonment or
surrender of possession of the Premises under the Mortgagee Lease.
(c) Leasehold Mortgagee, as Tenant under the Mortgagee Lease, shall have the
same right, title, and interest in and to the Premises, the right to use the Improvements
thereon as Tenant had under this Lease.
Section 11.08 Agreement Between Landlord and Leasehold Mortgagee. Landlord,
upon request, shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Leasehold Mortgagee an agreement, by
and among Landlord, Tenant, and Leasehold Mortgagee (provided the same has been previously
executed by Tenant and Leasehold Mortgagee) agreeing to all the provisions of this ARTICLE XI,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Leasehold Mortgagee and Landlord.
Section 11.09 No Merger. So long as any Leasehold Mortgage remains outstanding, the
fee title and the leasehold estate created by this Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept
separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in either the Landlord or the Tenant
or a third party, by purchase or otherwise.
Section 11.10 Priorities of Multiple Leasehold Mortgagees. If more than one (1)
Leasehold Mortgagee desires to exercise any rights or remedies afforded to Leasehold Mortgagees
under this Lease, then the party against whom such right or remedy is to be exercised shall be
required to recognize either: (i) only the Leasehold Mortgagee that desires to exercise such right
or remedy and whose Leasehold Mortgage is most senior (as against other Leasehold Mortgages);
or (ii) such other Leasehold Mortgagee as all Leasehold Mortgagees have designated in writing to
exercise such right or remedy. Priority of Leasehold Mortgages shall be conclusively evidenced
by (in order of precedence of application): (a) written agreement (or joint written instructions) by
all Leasehold Mortgagees; or (b) a report or certificate of a title insurance company licensed to do
business in the state where the Premises is located. Neither Tenant nor Landlord shall be obligated
to determine the relative priorities of any Leasehold Mortgagee. For any right or remedy under a
Leasehold Mortgage that by its nature or under this Lease can be exercised by only one (1)
Leasehold Mortgagee (such as the right to a Mortgagee Lease), pending the determination of
priority, any time period that applies to Leasehold Mortgagee's exercise of such right or remedy
shall be tolled.
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT; REMEDIES
Section 12.01 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default
(“Event of Default”):
16
54471065
(a) If Tenant shall fail to pay any item of Rent, or any part thereof, when the
same shall become due and payable and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after
notice from Landlord to Tenant.
(b) If Tenant shall fail to observe or perform one or more of the other terms,
conditions, covenants, or agreements contained in this Lease, and such failure shall
continue for a period of sixty (60) days after notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant
specifying such failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such
that more than sixty (60) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Tenant shall not be
deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within such sixty (60) day period
and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion.
(c) If Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.
(d) The filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, or the filing
of any involuntary petition by Tenant’s creditors which is not dismissed within ninety (90)
days.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option, give notice to
Tenant of the termination of this Lease and, and subject to the rights of Leasehold Mortgagees
contained in this Lease, upon such notice this Lease, the Term, and Tenant’s estate shall terminate
(whether or not the Commencement Date shall have occurred) and shall end with the same force
and effect as if that day were the day fixed for the expiration of this Lease. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant shall remain liable for any damages as provided in this Lease and Landlord may
enforce any of the remedies provided in Section 12.02.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall not terminate
this Lease without the prior written consent of the Investor Member before the termination of the
15-year tax credit compliance period described in Section 42(i)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.
Section 12.02 Remedies. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 12.01, or if
Landlord reenters or obtains possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or any other
legal action or proceeding or by any other legal act (without liability or obligation to Tenant or any
Subtenant or any other occupant of the Premises), all the following provisions shall apply:
(a) Tenant shall immediately vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in
good order, condition, and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage that Tenant is not
obligated under the terms of this Lease to repair excepted.
(b) Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord all Rent payable to the date on which
this Lease is terminated or the date on which Landlord reenters or obtains possession of
the Premises.
(c) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any
deficiency between the Rent reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would
have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any, of rents
17
54471065
collected under any reletting for any part of such period (first deducting from the rents
collected under any such reletting all of the payments to which Landlord is entitled
pursuant to Section 12.02(d)).
(d) Landlord may: (i) repair and alter the Premises in such manner as Landlord
may deem reasonably necessary or advisable (and may apply to the foregoing all funds, if
any, then held by Depository pursuant to this Lease without relieving Tenant of any liability
under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability); (ii) let or relet the Premises or
any parts thereof for the whole or any part of the remainder of the Term or for a longer
period, in Landlord’s name or as agent of Tenant, and out of any rent and other sums
collected or received as a result of such reletting Landlord shall: (A) first, pay to itself the
reasonable cost and expense of terminating this Lease, re-entering, retaking, repossessing,
completing construction, and repairing or altering the Premises, or any part thereof, and
the cost and expense of removing all persons and property therefrom, including in such
costs brokerage commissions, legal expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements; (B) second, pay to itself the reasonable cost and expense sustained in
securing any new tenants and other occupants, including in such costs brokerage
commissions, legal expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other
expenses of preparing the Premises for reletting, and, if Landlord shall maintain and
operate the Premises, the reasonable cost and expense of operating and maintaining the
Premises; and (C) third, pay to itself any balance remaining on account of the liability of
Tenant to Landlord. Landlord in no way shall be responsible or liable for any failure to
relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due on any such
reletting, and no such failure to relet or to collect rent shall operate to relieve Tenant of any
liability under this Lease or to otherwise affect any such liability. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever to relet all or any portion
of the Premises or to mitigate its damages hereunder.
(e) Landlord may elect to proceed by appropriate judicial proceedings, either
at law or in equity, to enforce the performance or observance by Tenant of the applicable
provisions of this Lease or to recover damages for breach thereof. Each right and remedy
of Landlord provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every
other right or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord
of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous
or later exercise by Landlord of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this
Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
Section 12.03 Investor Member Right to Cure. Landlord, upon serving Tenant with any
notice of default or termination, shall (provided Landlord has been notified in writing of the
identity and address of Investor Members) simultaneously serve a copy of such notice to any
investor member admitted to Tenant in connection with the allocation of low-income housing tax
credits to the Project (together with their successors and assigns, the “Investor Members”) during
any period in which such Investor Members are a member of Tenant. Any Investor Member shall
then have the right, but not the obligation, for the same period of time after service of the notice
18
54471065
on it as was given to the Tenant under this Lease to remedy or cause to be remedied Tenant’s
default under this Lease, and Landlord shall accept performances by, or at the instigation of,
Investor Member as if it had been done by Tenant. Any notice required to be given to Investor
Member shall be provided as set forth in ARTICLE XVII of this Lease.
ARTICLE XIII
EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION
Section 13.01 Extinguishment of Tenant’s Rights. Upon the termination or expiration
of this Lease from any cause, all rights and interests of Tenant, and all persons whomsoever
claiming by, through, or under Tenant (with the exception of the rights of Leasehold Mortgagees
arising under ARTICLE XI and the rights of Landlord arising under Section 12.02), shall
immediately cease and terminate, and the Premises and all Improvements located thereon shall
thence forward constitute and belong to and be the absolute property of Landlord or Landlord’s
successors and assigns, without further act or conveyance, and without liability to make such
compensation to Tenant or to anyone whomsoever, and free and discharged from all and every
lien, encumbrance, claim, and charge of any character created or attempted to be created by Tenant
at any time. Tenant agrees, at the termination of this Lease, to surrender unto Landlord, all and
singular the Premises with any then-existing Improvements located thereon in such condition as is
required under this Lease.
Section 13.02 Prepaid Items Assigned. Upon the expiration of the Term of this Lease, or
upon the prior termination of this Lease from any cause, all expense items prepaid by Tenant with
respect to operating, maintaining, and protecting the Premises, including, but not limited to,
prepaid insurance premiums, any tax and utility deposits, shall inure to the benefit of and become
the property of Landlord, and to this extent Tenant does hereby transfer, assign, and convey any
such prepaid expense items to Landlord.
Section 13.03 Early Termination Right. This Lease shall automatically terminate upon
termination by Tenant of the Development Agreement pursuant to section VI.C. of the
Development Agreement. Upon any such termination, Landlord and Tenant shall have no further
obligations to each other pursuant to the Lease except such obligations as expressly survive
termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, upon
any such termination Tenant shall have no obligation to undertake any Remedial Action nor shall
Tenant be responsible for any Environmental Liabilities or have any obligation to indemnify and
hold harmless City, RDA or their respective agents, officials, employees, representatives,
successors and assigns except to the extent necessitated by or arising from a Tenant Caused
Release.
ARTICLE XIV
DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
Section 14.01 Damage and Destruction. If the Premises and Improvements, or any
portion thereof, are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, unless Tenant elects to
terminate this Lease as provided below in this Section 14.01, Tenant shall repair, restore, and
reconstruct the damaged or destroyed Improvements to the extent feasible using insurance
proceeds made available therefor, but subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 7.02 of
19
54471065
this Lease. In the event Tenant chooses not to elect to terminate this Lease, Base Rent and real
property taxes shall not abate. If the cost to repair, restore or replace such damaged or destroyed
Improvements exceeds thirty percent (30%) of the then replacement value of the entire
Improvements, and if the damage or destruction occurs within the last ten (10) years of the Term,
Tenant may, to be evidenced by written notice to Landlord within one hundred twenty (120) days
after the occurrence of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Lease effective as of the
date of the damage or destruction. Tenant shall be entitled to all proceeds of insurance on policies
covering such damage or destruction. If Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
Section 14.01, Tenant shall, at its expense, either leave the remaining undamaged portion of the
Improvements as is on the Land or demolish such remaining undamaged portion of the
Improvements and remove all debris thereof from the Land, and the parties shall thereafter be
released from any further liability under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall
not be entitled to any insurance proceeds awarded insofar as such amounts relate to the
Improvements, Personalty, or otherwise in connection with Tenant’s or a Subtenant’s loss of
profits or relocation expenses.
ARTICLE XV
CONDEMNATION
Section 15.01 Total Taking.
(a) If all or substantially all the Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-
public purpose by any lawful power or authority by the exercise of the right of
condemnation, eminent domain, or by agreement among Landlord, Tenant, and those
authorized to exercise such right, the Term shall terminate on the Date of Taking and the
Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be equitably apportioned as of the date of such
taking.
(b) If all or substantially all of the Premises shall be taken or condemned as
provided in Section 15.01(a), Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain
such separate awards and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their
respective interests in any condemnation proceedings, or as may be otherwise agreed,
taking into consideration the fact that Landlord’s interest in the Premises is limited to the
fee interest in the Land (exclusive of the Improvements), as encumbered by this Lease,
and, upon the expiration of the Term, a reversionary interest in the Premises and the
Improvements. If the condemning authority does not make separate awards to Landlord
and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree that any such award will be allocated on a
proportionate basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required by a Leasehold Mortgagee,
Tenant’s proportionate share of the award shall be distributed to the senior Leasehold
Mortgagee to be disbursed in accordance with its Leasehold Mortgage, and once such lien
is satisfied, thereafter to the holder of the Leasehold Mortgage next in lien priority until
each encumbrance is satisfied, and, upon payment in full of the Leasehold Mortgages, the
balance shall be payable to Tenant. If there be any dispute as to which portion of the award
is attributable to the Land and which portion is attributable to the Improvements, such
dispute shall be resolved by arbitration (unless the condemning authority or a court of
competent jurisdiction has made such determination, in which case its determination shall
20
54471065
control). For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall not be entitled to any proceeds
awarded insofar as such amounts relate to the Improvements, Personalty, or otherwise in
connection with Tenant’s or a Subtenant’s loss of profits or relocation expenses.
(c) Each of the parties shall execute any and all documents that may be
reasonably required in order to facilitate collection by them of such awards.
Section 15.02 Partial Taking. If less than substantially all of the Premises shall be so
taken, this Lease and the Term shall continue as to the portion of the Premises remaining without
diminution of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In the event of any taking pursuant to this
Section 15.02, Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain such separate awards
and portions of lump sum awards as may be allocated to their respective interests in any
condemnation proceedings, or as may be otherwise agreed, taking into consideration the fact that
Landlord’s interest in the Premises is limited to the fee interest in the Land (exclusive of the
Improvements), as encumbered by this Lease, and, upon the expiration of the Term, a reversionary
interest in the Premises and the Improvements. If the condemning authority does not make separate
awards to Landlord and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree that any such award will be allocated
on a proportionate basis. Tenant’s share of such award shall be paid to Depository. Subject to the
provisions and limitations in this Section 15.02, Depository shall make available to Tenant as much
of that portion of the award actually received and held by Depository, if any, less all necessary and
proper expenses paid or incurred by Depository, the Leasehold Mortgagee most senior in lien and
Landlord in the condemnation proceedings, as may be necessary to pay the cost of restoration of
the part of the Premises remaining that Tenant elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to restore.
Such restoration shall be done in accordance with and subject to the provisions of ARTICLE XIV.
Payments to Tenant as aforesaid shall be disbursed in the manner and subject to the conditions set
forth in ARTICLE XV. Any balance of the award held by Depository and any cash and the
proceeds of any security deposited with Depository remaining after completion of the restoration
shall be paid to Tenant. Each of the parties shall execute any and all documents that may be
reasonably required in order to facilitate collection by them of such awards.
Section 15.03 Depository. With respect to any restoration required by the terms of Section
15.02, the cost of which exceeds the balance of the condemnation award after payment of the
expenses set forth in Section 15.02, then, prior to the commencement of such restoration, Tenant
shall deposit with Depository a bond, cash, or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
in the amount of such excess, to be held and applied by Depository in accordance with the
provisions of Section 15.02, as security for the completion of the restoration.
Section 15.04 Temporary Taking. If the temporary use of the whole or any part of the
Premises shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority
by the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain or by agreement between Tenant
and those authorized to exercise such right, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord
and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full
the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled
to receive for itself any award or payments for such use; provided, however, that if the taking is
for a period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be apportioned between
Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date.

Section 15.05 Negotiated Sale in Lieu of Condemnation. In the event of a negotiated
sale of all or a portion of the Premises in lieu of condemnation, the proceeds shall be distributed
as provided in cases of condemnation.
Section 15.06 Participation in Condemnation Proceeding. Landlord, Tenant, and any
Leasehold Mortgagee shall be entitled to file a claim and otherwise participate in any
condemnation or similar proceeding and all hearings, trials, and appeals in respect thereof.
Section 15.07 Rights of Tenant and Subtenants to File Claims. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this ARTICLE XV, in the event of any permanent or
temporary taking of all or any part of the Premises, Tenant and its Subtenants shall have the
exclusive right to assert claims for all Improvements, Personalty, and any other trade fixtures and
personal property so taken which were the property of Tenant or its Subtenants and for relocation
expenses of Tenant or its Subtenants, and all awards and damages in respect thereof shall belong
to Tenant and its Subtenants, and Landlord hereby waives any and all claims to any part thereof.

AGENDA ITEM # E.6
Consideration with possible action to approve a one-year development agreement with Paul Olesky for the
construction of a two-bedroom, one-bath home located at 1229 St. Clair Street.
BACKGROUND
The site, located at 1229 St. Clair Street (Tax Parcel 14-68), was acquired as surplus property from the City
to the RDA. The site is zoned R1-Low Density Residential. The parcel requires a smaller footprint due to
setbacks with the East River directly behind the site.
Staff have received a proposal from Paul Oleksy for the development of a 1.5-story home that he intends to
owner occupy. The home will feature two bedrooms, one bath and approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of living space
along with a one-stall attached garage. The developer has offered our asking price of $12,500 for the lot with
no additional financial support needed.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve a one-year development agreement with Paul Oleksy for the construction of an owner-
occupied, two-bedroom, one-bath home at 1229 St. Clair Street.

AGENDA ITEM # E.7
Consideration with possible action to approve a resolution of support related to detachment and attachment
of land with the Village of Bellevue related to the JBS Development Site.
BACKGROUND
The City in partnership with JBS S.A., the Village of Bellevue, and over 40 regional partners embarked on an
ambitious plan to redraw how we build community neighborhoods. The result of this multi-year effort is a
dynamic and exciting neighborhood that includes a variety of housing options, community spaces, and broad
connections to the region. The JBS development site sits adjacent to the 1300 Block of Guns Road in the
open space between Walmart Supercenter to the east and the Kroc Community Center to the west.
As development continues in the new neighborhood, it is becoming clear that a unique opportunity is
presented. As previously discussed, a portion of the development is in the Village of Bellevue while the
majority is in the City of Green Bay. The attached maps provide context.
The Village of Bellevue and City of Green Bay staff believe it is in the best interest of both communities to
look at a jurisdictional transfer of property that would not only clean up the municipal jurisdictions of the
new neighborhood but also address concerns over the split parcel/split jurisdiction of the Walmart
Supercenter development at 2292 Main Street. As noted in the scope of work below, a significant portion of
the parking lot and some of the Walmart building are within both communities’ municipal boundaries. The
equivalent of three housing lots, a stormwater detention facility, and a portion of public roadway within the
new neighborhood are currently in the Village of Bellevue.
The proposed resolution will direct City staff to work with Village of Bellevue staff, the Redevelopment
Authority of the City of Green Bay (property owner), and the Wisconsin Department of Administration
with the goal of “cleaning up” the municipal line, thereby having the entire JBS development site within the
City of Green Bay and the entire Walmart Supercenter development site within the Village of Bellevue.
This resolution will only direct staff to begin the process. Any detachment/attachment approvals will be
completed via public process at Plan Commission and Common Council/Village Board meetings of both
communities.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve a resolution of support related to detachment and attachment of land with the Village of
Bellevue related to the JBS Development Site.

PROJECT SCOPE
Included below is a map highlighting the basic premise of what is proposed. Both municipalities will
process a detachment and attachment of property into their boundaries. A detachment is similar to an
annexation, except annexations only legally pertain to Towns removing property and attaching to a City
or Village. Since Green Bay is a city and Bellevue is a village, the detachment and attachment process is
required. Shown below, the blue represents the area that will be detached from the Village of Bellevue
and attached to the City of Green Bay. The tan represents the area that will be detached from the City
of Green Bay and attached to the Village of Bellevue. These processes will take place simultaneously.
This would clean up municipal lines and allow for a more streamlined review and inspection process for
construction of single-family residences in the JBS site that would have been located with the Village of
Bellevue. This would also put Walmart under one municipal jurisdiction, allowing for better management
of development review and policing. Additionally, the road jurisdictions would shift a bit and make the
overall management of roadways and maintenance more clearly defined.
To complete this process the Village and City would have to follow several steps including Class 1
Notices, formal petitions, and two independent Ordinances by both municipalities. Initial scope
discussions have been held with all property owners including the Redevelopment Authority and
Walmart with broad verbal support given by all.
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY STAFF TO PURSUE A LIMITED SCOPE
DETACHMENT/ATTACHMENT ALONG A MUTUAL JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARY
(PP 25-03, PP 25-04)
September 16, 2025
WHEREAS, the City of Green Bay in partnership with JBS S.A., Village of Bellevue, and over 40
other regional partners embarked on an ambitious plan to redraw how we build community
neighborhoods. The result of this multi-year effort is a dynamic and exciting neighborhood that
includes a variety of housing options, community spaces and broad connections to the region; and
WHEREAS, The JBS development site sits adjacent to Guns Road and in the open space between
Walmart Supercenter to the east and the Kroc Community Center to the west. As development
continues to grow in the new neighborhood, it is becoming very clear that unique opportunity is once
again presented; and
WHEREAS, the City of Green Bay and the Village of Bellevue believe it is in the best interest of
both communities to look at a jurisdictional transfer of property that would create congruent municipal
boundary lines in the new neighborhood but also address growing concerns over the split parcel and
split jurisdiction that current exists with an adjacent commercial development.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Common Council of the City of Green Bay
directs City staff to work alongside Village of Bellevue staff, impacted properties, and Wisconsin
Department of Administration with the goal of creating congruent municipal boundary lines through
the State of Wisconsin recognized Municipal Detachment of Territory process as outlined in Section
66.0227 of Wisconsin Statutes.
Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin, this the 16th day of
September, 2025.

AGENDA ITEM # E.8
Consideration with possible action to approve up to $120,000 of CDBG infrastructure funding for the
construction of a rapid flashing beacon on W. Mason Street.
BACKGROUND
Construction of the new Kwik Trip on W. Mason presented pedestrian access challenges on W. Mason
Street. DPW requested using CDBG infrastructure funding for the placement of a rapid flashing beacon. This
will assist pedestrians in crossing W. Mason Street. They have not bid the project out but are under a
timeline to complete this fall. The DPW estimate is not to exceed $120,000. Staff is asking for authorization
to approve this project if it falls within this estimate.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve up to $120,000 of CDBG infrastructure funding for the construction of a rapid flashing beacon
on W. Mason Street.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is currently $192,197.00 in the CDBG infrastructure line item.

AGENDA ITEM # E.9
Consideration with possible action for GBPD evidence storage project on Day Street, to approve phase two
estimated construction costs as well as awarding phase three site improvements to the lowest responsive
bidder utilizing TID 21 funding.
The Authority may convene in closed session pursuant to Sections 19.85(1)(e), Wis. Stats., for purposes of deliberating or negotiating the sale of public
properties, investing of public funds or conducting other specified public business as necessary for competitive or bargaining reasons. The Authority may
thereafter reconvene in open session pursuant to Section 19.85(2), Wis. Stats., to report the results of the closed session and consider the balance of the
agenda.
BACKGROUND
Part of the Green Bay Packaging project required the City to relocate Police evidence storage, which was
located on Quincy Street. This evidence was relocated temporarily to the Badger Sheet Metal building on
Broadway. Due to redevelopment of this site, the GBPD was forced to relocate evidence storage to a new
site. Because there are no City-owned sites available for this storage, the City has negotiated a long-term 20-
year lease on a building located at 724 Day Street. Hopefully, this will provide a more permanent solution for
evidence storage.
Phase one of this project included asbestos abatement and a garage entry door that needed to be installed.
This has been completed. In order to meet the deadlines for the Fire Station Flats project, vehicle evidence
needed to be stored in Connex boxes and removed from the site before the building was ready to be
occupied.
Phase two of this project continues the build out of the interior to accommodate the vehicle storage, HVAC
systems, and security systems in order to meet code and the specific needs for evidence storage. At the
writing of this report, staff is expecting the estimated costs of this work to be submitted by the owner of the
building who will be overseeing this phase.
Phase three of this work involves the exterior work. The site currently has no secure outdoor storage. This
project constructs secure outdoor storage for items that cannot be stored indoors, which includes fencing
and site improvements to ensure a code-compliant site. This has been bid, and the lowest responsive bidder
will be presented at the meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
To approve phase two estimated construction costs as well as awarding phase three site improvements to
the lowest responsive bidder utilizing TID 21 funding at 724 Day Street for GBPD evidence storage.
