Discussion—Crosswind Subdivision Parking-Gardenia and Tulip
Administrator Fenlon gave an overview of the Parking proposed for Gardenia Drive and Tulip Trail; and
advised that a decision will not be made at this time, this is for public feedback and discussion only. Trustee
Van Lankvelt asked if the temporary no parking signs were working, the residents stated they felt they were,
and they would like them to be permanent. Administrator Fenlon read an email from Mrs. Krause stating she
would like a temporary no parking solution for one side of the road. Also asked if there was a phone number
that could be called on weekends. Gary Hickey-3111 Gardenia Drive pointed out that emergency vehicles
would not be able to get through if cars are parked on both sides. Celeste Schulke-3007 Gardenia Drive agrees
with Gary that cars should not park on both sides. Christine Gonya-3627 Tulip Trail feels maybe Gardenia
needs to be handled differently than Tulip Trail and doesn’t want a lot people parking in front of her house.
Susie Jennings-2927 Gardenia does not mind the temporary parking signs but feels as you get closer to French
Road there should be a sign for no parking from there to the corner to make it safer for turning. Trustee
Van Lankveldt inquired on how much notice does the Village receive for events, Administrator Fenlon advised
they are not required to give any notice but knows a board member who gave them dates. President
Vanden Berg asked how many events there are per year, Administrator Fenlon stated on average four to six
events per summer. Administrator Fenlon did state economically the permanent signs would pay for themselves
in a matter of a few years. Trustee Elrick asked if the City of Appleton is the owner of Sports USA,
Administrator Fenlon stated are the owners but lease the field out to different organizations.
Trustee Peerenboom would like to see permanent no parking signs on one side of Gardenia Drive. The
residents present agreed that permanent no parking on one side of Gardenia Drive would solve most issues.
Public works will also look at putting up a sign from French Road for no parking to the stop sign. Bruce Motto
– 3334 Tulip Trail agreed that the no parking on one side should only be on Gardenia Drive, Tulip Trail had
maybe 8-10 cars at the last event and feels it wasn’t an issue.

(A) Direct Annual Irrepealable Tax Levy. For the purpose of paying the
principal of and interest on the Notes as the same becomes due, the full faith, credit and
resources of the Village are hereby irrevocably pledged, and there is hereby levied upon all of
the taxable property of the Village a direct annual irrepealable tax in the years 2019 through
2028 for payments due in the years 2020 through 2029 in the amounts set forth on the Schedule.
(B) Tax Collection. So long as any part of the principal of or interest on the
Notes remains unpaid, the Village shall be and continue without power to repeal such levy or
obstruct the collection of said tax until all such payments have been made or provided for. After
the issuance of the Notes, said tax shall be, from year to year, carried onto the tax roll of the
Village and collected in addition to all other taxes and in the same manner and at the same time
as other taxes of the Village for said years are collected, except that the amount of tax carried
onto the tax roll may be reduced in any year by the amount of any surplus money in the Debt
Service Fund Account created below.
(C) Additional Funds. If at any time there shall be on hand insufficient funds
from the aforesaid tax levy to meet principal and/or interest payments on said Notes when due,
the requisite amounts shall be paid from other funds of the Village then available, which sums
shall be replaced upon the collection of the taxes herein levied.
Section 6. Segregated Debt Service Fund Account.
(A) Creation and Deposits. There be and there hereby is established in the
treasury of the Village, if one has not already been created, a debt service fund, separate and
distinct from every other fund, which shall be maintained in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Debt service or sinking funds established for obligations previously
issued by the Village may be considered as separate and distinct accounts within the debt service
fund.
Within the debt service fund, there hereby is established a separate and distinct account
designated as the "Debt Service Fund Account for General Obligation Promissory Notes, Series
2019A, dated August 8, 2019" (the "Debt Service Fund Account") and such account shall be
maintained until the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is fully paid or otherwise extinguished.
There shall be deposited into the Debt Service Fund Account (i) all accrued interest received by
the Village at the time of delivery of and payment for the Notes; (ii) any premium which may be
received by the Village above the par value of the Notes and accrued interest thereon; (iii) all
money raised by the taxes herein levied and any amounts appropriated for the specific purpose of
meeting principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (iv) such other sums as may be
necessary at any time to pay principal of and interest on the Notes when due; (v) surplus monies
in the Borrowed Money Fund as specified below; and (vi) such further deposits as may be
required by Section 67.11, Wisconsin Statutes.
(B) Use and Investment. No money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service
Fund Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and the Notes
canceled; provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the
Notes prior to the scheduled receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be
-3-
QB\58370542.1
invested in direct obligations of the United States of America maturing in time to make such
payments when they are due or in other investments permitted by law; and (ii) any funds over
and above the amount of such principal and interest payments on the Notes may be used to
reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or may, at the option of the Village, be invested by
purchasing the Notes as permitted by and subject to Section 67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, or
in permitted municipal investments under the pertinent provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes
("Permitted Investments"), which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service
Fund Account. Any investment of the Debt Service Fund Account shall at all times conform
with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and any
applicable Treasury Regulations (the "Regulations").
(C) Remaining Monies. When all of the Notes have been paid in full and
canceled, and all Permitted Investments disposed of, any money remaining in the Debt Service
Fund Account shall be transferred and deposited in the general fund of the Village, unless the
Village Board directs otherwise.
Section 7. Proceeds of the Notes; Segregated Borrowed Money Fund. The proceeds of
the Notes (the "Note Proceeds") (other than any premium and accrued interest which must be
paid at the time of the delivery of the Notes into the Debt Service Fund Account created above)
shall be deposited into a special fund (the "Borrowed Money Fund") separate and distinct from
all other funds of the Village and disbursed solely for the purposes for which borrowed or for the
payment of the principal of and the interest on the Notes. Monies in the Borrowed Money Fund
may be temporarily invested in Permitted Investments. Any monies, including any income from
Permitted Investments, remaining in the Borrowed Money Fund after the purposes for which the
Notes have been issued have been accomplished, and, at any time, any monies as are not needed
and which obviously thereafter cannot be needed for such purposes shall be deposited in the
Debt Service Fund Account.
Section 8. No Arbitrage. All investments made pursuant to this Resolution shall be
Permitted Investments, but no such investment shall be made in such a manner as would cause
the Notes to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code or the
Regulations and an officer of the Village, charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes,
shall certify as to facts, estimates, circumstances and reasonable expectations in existence on the
date of delivery of the Notes to the Purchaser which will permit the conclusion that the Notes are
not "arbitrage bonds," within the meaning of the Code or Regulations.
Section 9. Compliance with Federal Tax Laws. (a) The Village represents and
covenants that the Project and the ownership, management and use of the Project will not cause
the Notes to be "private activity bonds" within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code. The
Village further covenants that it shall comply with the provisions of the Code to the extent
necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the interest on the Notes including, if applicable,
the rebate requirements of Section 148(f) of the Code. The Village further covenants that it will
not take any action, omit to take any action or permit the taking or omission of any action within
its control (including, without limitation, making or permitting any use of the proceeds of the
Notes) if taking, permitting or omitting to take such action would cause any of the Notes to be an
arbitrage bond or a private activity bond within the meaning of the Code or would otherwise
cause interest on the Notes to be included in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal
-4-
QB\58370542.1
income tax purposes. The Village Clerk or other officer of the Village charged with the
responsibility of issuing the Notes shall provide an appropriate certificate of the Village
certifying that the Village can and covenanting that it will comply with the provisions of the
Code and Regulations.
(b) The Village also covenants to use its best efforts to meet the requirements and
restrictions of any different or additional federal legislation which may be made applicable to the
Notes provided that in meeting such requirements the Village will do so only to the extent
consistent with the proceedings authorizing the Notes and the laws of the State of Wisconsin and
to the extent that there is a reasonable period of time in which to comply.
Section 10. Designation as Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Notes are hereby
designated as "qualified tax-exempt obligations" for purposes of Section 265 of the Code,
relating to the ability of financial institutions to deduct from income for federal income tax
purposes, interest expense that is allocable to carrying and acquiring tax-exempt obligations.
Section 11. Execution of the Notes; Closing; Professional Services. The Notes shall be
issued in printed form, executed on behalf of the Village by the manual or facsimile signatures of
the President and Village Clerk, authenticated, if required, by the Fiscal Agent (defined below),
sealed with its official or corporate seal, if any, or a facsimile thereof, and delivered to the
Purchaser upon payment to the Village of the purchase price thereof, plus accrued interest to the
date of delivery (the "Closing"). The facsimile signature of either of the officers executing the
Notes may be imprinted on the Notes in lieu of the manual signature of the officer but, unless the
Village has contracted with a fiscal agent to authenticate the Notes, at least one of the signatures
appearing on each Note shall be a manual signature. In the event that either of the officers
whose signatures appear on the Notes shall cease to be such officers before the Closing, such
signatures shall, nevertheless, be valid and sufficient for all purposes to the same extent as if they
had remained in office until the Closing. The aforesaid officers are hereby authorized and
directed to do all acts and execute and deliver the Notes and all such documents, certificates and
acknowledgements as may be necessary and convenient to effectuate the Closing. The Village
hereby authorizes the officers and agents of the Village to enter into, on its behalf, agreements
and contracts in conjunction with the Notes, including but not limited to agreements and
contracts for legal, trust, fiscal agency, disclosure and continuing disclosure, and rebate
calculation services. Any such contract heretofore entered into in conjunction with the issuance
of the Notes is hereby ratified and approved in all respects.
Section 12. Payment of the Notes; Fiscal Agent. The principal of and interest on the
Notes shall be paid by the Village Clerk or Village Treasurer (the "Fiscal Agent").
Section 13. Persons Treated as Owners; Transfer of Notes. The Village shall cause
books for the registration and for the transfer of the Notes to be kept by the Fiscal Agent. The
person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes and payment of either principal or interest on any Note shall be
made only to the registered owner thereof. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Note to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
-5-
QB\58370542.1
Any Note may be transferred by the registered owner thereof by surrender of the Note at
the office of the Fiscal Agent, duly endorsed for the transfer or accompanied by an assignment
duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon such
transfer, the President and Village Clerk shall execute and deliver in the name of the transferee
or transferees a new Note or Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity and
the Fiscal Agent shall record the name of each transferee in the registration book. No
registration shall be made to bearer. The Fiscal Agent shall cancel any Note surrendered for
transfer.
The Village shall cooperate in any such transfer, and the President and Village Clerk are
authorized to execute any new Note or Notes necessary to effect any such transfer.
Section 14. Record Date. The 15th day of the calendar month next preceding each
interest payment date shall be the record date for the Notes (the "Record Date"). Payment of
interest on the Notes on any interest payment date shall be made to the registered owners of the
Notes as they appear on the registration book of the Village at the close of business on the

order to make the Notes eligible for the services provided by The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York ("DTC"), the Village agrees to the applicable provisions set forth in the
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, which the Village Clerk or other authorized
representative of the Village is authorized and directed to execute and deliver to DTC on behalf
of the Village to the extent an effective Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations is not presently
on file in the Village Clerk's office.
Section 16. Payment of Issuance Expenses. The Village authorizes the Purchaser to
forward the amount of the proceeds of the Notes allocable to the payment of issuance expenses
to Old National Bank at Closing for further distribution as directed by Ehlers.
Section 17. Official Statement. The Village Board hereby approves the Preliminary
Official Statement with respect to the Notes and deems the Preliminary Official Statement as
"final" as of its date for purposes of SEC Rule 15c2-12 promulgated by the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Rule"). All
actions taken by officers of the Village in connection with the preparation of such Preliminary
Official Statement and any addenda to it or final Official Statement are hereby ratified and
approved. In connection with the Closing, the appropriate Village official shall certify the
Preliminary Official Statement and any addenda or final Official Statement. The Village Clerk
shall cause copies of the Preliminary Official Statement and any addenda or final Official
Statement to be distributed to the Purchaser.
Section 18. Undertaking to Provide Continuing Disclosure. The Village hereby
covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the owners of the Notes, to enter into a written
undertaking (the "Undertaking") if required by the Rule to provide continuing disclosure of
certain financial information and operating data and timely notices of the occurrence of certain
events in accordance with the Rule. The Undertaking shall be enforceable by the owners of the
Notes or by the Purchaser on behalf of such owners (provided that the rights of the owners and
-6-
QB\58370542.1
the Purchaser to enforce the Undertaking shall be limited to a right to obtain specific
performance of the obligations thereunder and any failure by the Village to comply with the
provisions of the Undertaking shall not be an event of default with respect to the Notes).
To the extent required under the Rule, the President and Village Clerk, or other officer of
the Village charged with the responsibility for issuing the Notes, shall provide a Continuing
Disclosure Certificate for inclusion in the transcript of proceedings, setting forth the details and
terms of the Village's Undertaking.
Section 19. Record Book. The Village Clerk shall provide and keep the transcript of
proceedings as a separate record book (the "Record Book") and shall record a full and correct
statement of every step or proceeding had or taken in the course of authorizing and issuing the
Notes in the Record Book.
Section 20. Bond Insurance. If the Purchaser determines to obtain municipal bond
insurance with respect to the Notes, the officers of the Village are authorized to take all actions
necessary to obtain such municipal bond insurance. The President and Village Clerk are
authorized to agree to such additional provisions as the bond insurer may reasonably request and
which are acceptable to the President and Village Clerk including provisions regarding
restrictions on investment of Note proceeds, the payment procedure under the municipal bond
insurance policy, the rights of the bond insurer in the event of default and payment of the Notes
by the bond insurer and notices to be given to the bond insurer. In addition, any reference
required by the bond insurer to the municipal bond insurance policy shall be made in the form of
Note provided herein.
Section 21. Conflicting Resolutions; Severability; Effective Date. All prior resolutions,
rules or other actions of the Village Board or any parts thereof in conflict with the provisions
hereof shall be, and the same are, hereby rescinded insofar as the same may so conflict. In the
event that any one or more provisions hereof shall for any reason be held to be illegal or invalid,
such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provisions hereof. The foregoing shall take
effect immediately upon adoption and approval in the manner provided by law.
Adopted, approved and recorded July 17, 2019.

hereof at the office of the Fiscal Agent.
For the prompt payment of this Note together with interest hereon as aforesaid and for the
levy of taxes sufficient for that purpose, the full faith, credit and resources of the Village are
hereby irrevocably pledged.
This Note is one of an issue of Notes aggregating the principal amount of $4,900,000, all
of which are of like tenor, except as to denomination, interest rate, maturity date and redemption
provision, issued by the Village pursuant to the provisions of Section 67.12(12), Wisconsin
Statutes, for public purposes including land acquisition, park, street, storm water and water
system improvement projects and community development projects in Tax Incremental Districts,
QB\58370542.1
as authorized by a resolution adopted on July 17, 2019. Said resolution is recorded in the official
minutes of the Village Board for said date.
The Notes maturing on August 1, 2027 and thereafter are subject to redemption prior to
maturity, at the option of the Village, on August 1, 2026 or on any date thereafter. Said Notes
are redeemable as a whole or in part, and if in part, from maturities selected by the Village, and
within each maturity by lot (as selected by the Depository), at the principal amount thereof, plus

In the event the Notes are redeemed prior to maturity, as long as the Notes are in
book-entry-only form, official notice of the redemption will be given by mailing a notice by
registered or certified mail, overnight express delivery, facsimile transmission, electronic
transmission or in any other manner required by the Depository, to the Depository not less than
thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date. If less than all of the
Notes of a maturity are to be called for redemption, the Notes of such maturity to be redeemed
will be selected by lot. Such notice will include but not be limited to the following: the
designation, date and maturities of the Notes called for redemption, CUSIP numbers, and the
date of redemption. Any notice provided as described herein shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given, whether or not the registered owner receives the notice. The Notes shall
cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date provided that federal or other immediately
available funds sufficient for such redemption are on deposit at the office of the Depository at
that time. Upon such deposit of funds for redemption the Notes shall no longer be deemed to be
outstanding.
It is hereby certified and recited that all conditions, things and acts required by law to
exist or to be done prior to and in connection with the issuance of this Note have been done, have
existed and have been performed in due form and time; that the aggregate indebtedness of the
Village, including this Note and others issued simultaneously herewith, does not exceed any
limitation imposed by law or the Constitution of the State of Wisconsin; and that a direct annual
irrepealable tax has been levied sufficient to pay this Note, together with the interest thereon,
when and as payable.
This Note has been designated by the Village Board as a "qualified tax-exempt
obligation" pursuant to the provisions of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended.
This Note is transferable only upon the books of the Village kept for that purpose at the
office of the Fiscal Agent, only in the event that the Depository does not continue to act as
depository for the Notes, and the Village appoints another depository, upon surrender of the Note

with a written instrument of transfer (which may be endorsed hereon) satisfactory to the Fiscal
Agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney. Thereupon a new
fully registered Note in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the new
depository in exchange therefor and upon the payment of a charge sufficient to reimburse the
Village for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such

such Note has been called for redemption. The Fiscal Agent and Village may treat and consider
the Depository in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute owner hereof for the
purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal or redemption price hereof and
interest due hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Notes are issuable solely as
negotiable, fully-registered Notes without coupons in the denomination of $5,000 or any integral

INFORMATION FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION
I TEM DESCRI PTI ON: 2020 Budget Guidance, Calendar and related documents
PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator
REPORT DATE: July 5th, 2019
EXPLANATION: This is the start of the annual budget process. The goal behind presenting the
guidance, calendar and other related documents is to give the Board an opportunity to be more involved in
the process. Also, if you were to have larger policy related items that may have budget impacts, it would
be more productive to have those discussions now versus at the time of formal budget adoption. On July
17th, I will be asking that the Board of Trustees formally approve the guidance and related documents.
The attached guidelines highlight various items related to personnel and other costs. New this year, I am
asking that all Departments adhere to budgets that meet or beat the Expenditure Restraint Program
increases. In addition, the attached calendar identifies the timelines and milestones within the budget
process. The goal of this document is to portray how we currently see the timeline being executed for the
2020 budget. Given the numerous points of intersect with external organizations, impacts to personnel
(wages and insurance), and other factors, these timelines could shift through the process. It is also worth
noting the Joint Budget date not shown at this point and will be updated with the Village of Kimberly in the
near future. Finally, the budget request worksheet is added to provide an avenue for department
information with regards to creating well-reasoned requests.
Again, this will be presented for action at the July 17th Regular Board Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION: Provided for information.
Village of Little Chute
2020 Budget Process
2020 Department Guidance
1. Personnel line items for non-represented employees in the past have been cross- referenced by both
BLS CPI data (federal) and Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission (WERC). As evidenced by the
th
June 12 , 2019 release of BLS CPI data, the data shows a 1.8% increase over the previous 12 months
(https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/cpi.pdf). When it comes to WERC data, they show that for
12/1/2019 that CPI for CBA’s should be at 2.17% (http://werc.wi.gov/doaroot/cpi-u_chart.htm). It should
also be noted the FVMPD PPA will be renegotiating a contract for 2020, so the association’s COLA is
unknown at this time. Preliminarily, I would propose a 2.0% COLA for all non-represented regular staff.
As we are able to work through budget impacts, we can define what that increase equates from an
expense perspective and ensure that the increase is responsible and achievable. Should we have to
amend this approach we will bring any changes to the Board of Trustees during budget workshops.
2. WRS rates have been released and are attached to this document for all departments. In short, General
Employees will see an increase in rates of 0.4% (half of which is covered by the employer and the other
half covered by the employee). Protective with Social Security will see an increase of 1.22% (0.2%
covered by the employee and the other increases covered by the employer). Please make note of this as
you begin working on your department’s budget.
3. As it pertains to the other figures impacting personnel, these figures will be released by the Finance
Director as appropriate under normal timeframes. This would be for items such as health insurance
premiums.
4. CIP requests will be consistent with 2019-2023 CIP. In essence, sliding “new” projects into 2020 unless
Board/ADMIN or special circumstance exists. CIP requests should be consistent with foundational
documents (Comprehensive Plan, Park Plan, previous CIP, Strategic Plan, Board or Legislative Authority
guidance).
5. Budget requests for new personnel, programming, and equipment (technology included) must be
accompanied by the attached “Budget Request Form”. This will help the department, the Finance
Director and Administrator, and the Village Board understand requests that propose changes from current
budget. Pending the number of submittals, this will also enable prioritization. Lastly, submittals will be
used in Budget Workshops and budget documents.
6. Discontinuation – This is also an option for programs, service or personnel and the form should be used
as appropriate.
7. For the 2020 budget submittal, I am asking that all departments limit any budget increase to less
than that of the Expenditure Restraint Program, which is currently estimated to be 2.5%. This is
not to say that your increase cannot be less than the ERP amount. This is simply establishing the ceiling
for growth. Budget growth should be controlled to the maximum extent. If you are proposing increases,
ideally you are also identifying offsets, efficiencies or other gains that can be explained within the
aforementioned “Budget Request Form”.
8. Fees – If fees are a significant component to your budget, please update the Administrator and Finance
Director as to the last time an increase or review was held of the current structure. Any change to the fee
schedule should include market comparisons and a planned discussion with the Board of Trustees.
9. Mission statement, accomplishments, goals and metrics will be required to be updated as
appropriate and submitted to finance along with supporting documentation during the budget
process.
