The tree sale is held on the Windmill Plaza. All proceeds from the tree sale were used to support community efforts by the organization. The Little Chute Jaycees are proposing to utilize the Windmill Plaza for their sale again this year. The tree sale will run from Saturday, November 30th until December 15th. The Jaycees are requesting to utilize the Windmill Plaza from November 30th – December 22nd. This includes set-up and take down dates. Officially, the Jaycees organization would like approval from Village Board to utilize Windmill Plaza for Christmas Tree sales in 2019. Village staff supports this effort and will work with the organization again this year to ensure that the location of the trailer, utilization of any power and ability of staff to maintain the plaza are in a satisfactory condition. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the 2019 Jaycee Tree Sale  Village of Little Chute INFORMATION FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Refund Policy PREPARED BY: Lisa Remiker-DeWall, Finance Director REPORT DATE: 9/25/19 ADMINISTRATOR’S REVIEW/COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report:_________________ See additional comments attached:____________________ EXPLANATION: While attending planning meeting at Outagamie County for upcoming tax collection process, the County discussed the option available in the software to deal with di minimus short or overpayments that can ultimately save costs and provide better service to our taxpayers. Several communities have enacted a similar ordinance or have a policy in place already that addresses this (Appleton, Back Creek, Vandenbroek, and Hortonville) while many others at the meeting planned to take something forward to their boards. Most of the transactions where this will be of benefit occur as a result of a transposition error. Example: Person writes out check for $2,350.28 vs actual amount due of $2350.82. The shortfall results in phone call or potentially a letter to let the taxpayer know of the error to come in and correct it. It can be further complicated if a mortgage company is making the payment. Time for all gets to be costly in busy time. If conversely a refund is due, it will cost the Village more to cut/mail a refund check then the individual is receiving. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommendation to approve the proposed ordinance to increase efficiency and in many cases provide better customer service.  VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE ORDINANCE NO. 4, SERIES 2019 AN ORDINANCE CREATING SECTION 16-7 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE OF THE VILLAGE OF LITTLE CHUTE RELATING TO REFUND OF CERTAIN OVERPAYMENTS TO THE VILLAGE WHEREAS, in the process of collecting payments of property taxes, permit fees and other monies on behalf of the Village, the clerk/treasurer and other Village staff occasionally receive payment in excess of the amount owed to the Village through error, inadvertence or oversight; and WHEREAS, the past policy of the Village has been to refund any such overpayments, regardless of amount, to the payor; and WHEREAS, the Village Board recognizes that the cost to taxpayers to process such refunds often exceeds the amount of the refund; and WHEREAS, the Village Board has determined that it is not cost effective to process refund of nominal overpayments in the absence of a demand for refund; and WHEREAS, the Village Board determined that is in the interest of the Village to establish a policy to retain nominal overpayments absent demand by the payor for refund.

Section 16-7 of the Municipal Code of the Village of Little Chute is hereby created to provide as follows: Retention of Nominal Overpayments Absent Demand.

(c) A Nominal Overpayment retained by the Village pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be credited to the general fund. SECTION 2. Severability. Each section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, and provision of the foregoing Ordinance is and the same as hereby declared to be severable and if any portion of provision thereof is duly determined to be invalid for any reason, such determination shall not invalidate any other portion of provision thereof. SECTION 3. The Village hereby creates an administrative fee of $5.00 for refunding any overpayment made to the Village by any payor, not due to error, inadvertence, or oversight of the Village administration officials, which fee is deemed waived in the event the Village retains the overpayment of les than $5.00 without making the refund. SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforces from and after its passage and posting as required by law.

The most recent proposal includes an innovative approach to adopt a parameters resolution. This would allow the underwriter to watch the market initiating the refunding if parameters the Village sets are met or exceeded. This allows flexibility to react to favorable changes in the marketplace. By initiating this directly with an underwriter, we will avoid financial advisor fees in substitution for much lower loan fee. We will also take advantage of our recent issue only needing to do minimal updates to prepare a preliminary official statement. The savings and associated costs are listed on page 3 of their overview. A preliminary time frame is also listed on page 5. RECOMMENDATION: Please approve pre-engagement letter with Baird to pursue a refunding opportunity.  Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Fox Cities Exhibition Center and Your Future Live PREPARED BY: James P. Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: September 25, 2019 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: ( See Below ) EXPLANATION: As part of the agreement regarding the construction of the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, each municipality within the tourism zone contributing hotel room tax to the facility is granted one “free” day to use the facility for an event. While many communities have looked for creative ways to use their “free” day, we were approached by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce in 2018 with the request that we donate our day for 2018 for their use. The event they host is called the “Your Future Live”. The event is catered to local 8th to 12th grade students with conversations regarding future careers, networking with local employers and information related to financial planning. With the current status of the local workforce, any effort related to assisting local employers with access to students or resources for students would seem to be an effective utilization of the resource provided to the Village of Little Chute. Little Chute was recognized as a sponsor of the event and we were credited with an in-kind donation of roughly $7,500, which assisted in offsetting our costs this year for the Fox Cities Regional Partnership. Last year when the Board of Trustees approved this, we did so with the condition that it not become an annual expectation. That was shared with the Chamber staff at the time. We have again been approached by different staff asking for the donation again. While I agree with the sentiment of it not becoming annual, at this time, I am unaware of any events that we would either host or donate our “free” day to. That being said, I would recommend the donation again with the same condition. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the donation of the Village of Little Chute’s “Free Day” to the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce.

The CIP contains projects that are either in development at this time or planned to be implemented within the next five years. Staff utilized feedback from meetings and the CIP workshop to refine the Village’s priorities and estimate the impact of the proposed plan. Projects and items included in the CIP are subject to the Village’s bonding efforts, and could be changed by Village Board reconsideration or direction, availability of funding and ability to manage the projects effectively with the resources available to our organization. The five year Capital Improvement Plan is updated annually ahead of the annual budget process. On September 4th, 2019 staff presented the Board of Trustees with the first draft of the CIP. The plan includes projects recommended as needed by department heads and utilities and is supported by the Village Administrator as relevant to ongoing operations. The draft was further amended to reflect ongoing priorities. The Village’s strategic plan was approved in December 2014, and this effort incorporates many of the strategic initiatives outlined in the plan. The strategic plan goals are: 1. Efficient and Effective - We will utilize our human, financial and capital assets to their greatest potential and in the most effective and efficient manner possible. 2. Economic Development - We will create and implement an all-encompassing economic development strategy that maintains community character while marketing the Village of Little Chute as a destination. 3. Intergovernmental Cooperation - We will work in a cohesive and effective manner to leverage the resources of our local, regional and state partners. 4. Civic Engagement - We encourage, welcome, and seek out an active and engaged citizenry on everything we do. In addition to the strategic plan, the capital planning process relies on the Comprehensive Plan and Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan. All the projects within the 5 year capital plan are supported through secondary or tertiary planning efforts conducted by the Board of Trustees, staff and the community. DISCUSSION Over the past five years, the Village of Little Chute has tackled major projects including the addition and renovation to the Village Hall and the construction of the Municipal Services Building. Additionally, in 2019, the Village reconstructed the Holland Road to French Road portion of Evergreen Drive, which is a tax increment district financed project that will enable increased development in that industrial area. The current five year plan is a balance of efforts on street replacement/construction, investment in our utilities, and investments in other infrastructure and amenities. Aside from street reconstruction efforts, there are two new recreational amenities being proposed in this planning effort, that being a new splash pad to be constructed and a shelter/restroom in Creekview Park. The attached plan is a fiscally responsible, yet effective, 5 year capital plan that will support the operations and maintenance of village assets. Upon adoption of the plan, the document will be available via the website and in the Village Clerk’s office. Additionally, our Public Works team will notify all village parcel owners of projects occurring on their street within the plan.  Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: 2020 Budget Workshop #1 PREPARED BY: James P.
