LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE A meeting of the Legislative Committee was called to order by Chair Moore on Monday, January 19, 2026, at 7:48 P.M. Members present: Antoine, Moore, Schumacher, and Thiele. Also present: Ald. Kilgas, Ald. Eggleston, Ald. DeCoster, Ald. Schell, Mayor Penterman, Attorney Greenwood, DPW/Eng. Neumeier, Associate Planner Nelson, Fin. Dir. Van Rossum, and interested citizens. 1. Correspondence – none. 2. Discussion Topics. a. Resolution 2026-5493 Resolution in Support of Reauthorization of the State Funding for Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Motion by Antoine, seconded by Schumacher to recommend approval of Resolution 2026-5493 Resolution in Support of Reauthorization of the State Funding for Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program to the Common Council. All members voted aye. Motion carried. b. CSM Review - Kaukauna Area School District. The Kaukauna Area School District, in collaboration with Point of Beginning, has submitted a final Certified Survey Map (CSM) for review. This CSM would combine parcels 323246800, 323246700, 323246600, 323246500, and 323246400 into three large parcels. This request to combine five parcels into three parcels is for the development of a new middle school. The layout includes land dedication for a roadway connection to Highway 55, which is consistent with previous planning efforts for the future extension of Speedway Lane through the property. Since submission of the preliminary CSM back in September, language has been added to require an updated traffic impact study prior to the development of any vacant lots. Additionally, utility easements have been added to the final document as requested. A draft of an approving resolution for the CSM was included with the background information. The resolution will be brought back to Legislative Committee at a future meeting for consideration. c. Tax Increment District (TID) No. 6 – Upcoming Closure Timeline and Planning. Tax Increment District (TID) No. 6 has reached the end of its allowable statutory life and is required to be closed in accordance with Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR) Tax Increment Financing regulations. This is not an elective or early closure; rather, it is a required action based on the age of the district. Under DOR rules, the Common Council must adopt a TID closure resolution no later than May 2, 2026. At the same time, staff is intentionally recommending that the resolution not be adopted prior to April 15, 2026, as an earlier adoption would result in the city forfeiting the final year of tax increment otherwise available in calendar year 2027. Adopting the resolution within this statutory window allows the city to receive the full, final year of increment before closure takes effect. Closure of TID No. 6 will take effect for the 2028 budget year. Motion by Schumacher, seconded by Antoine to recommend passing the Resolution on to the Common Council to adopt at the April 21, 2026, meeting. All members voted aye. Motion carried. 3. Adjourn. Motion by Antoine, seconded by Schumacher to adjourn. All members voted aye. Motion carried. Meeting adjourned at 7:57 PM. Kayla Nessmann, Clerk
