FINANCIAL • Financial Report M. Schlicht, City of Marquette, presented the Financial Report. M. Schlicht stated we are two thirds of the way through fiscal year 2026 and sees no areas of concern with the budget and how things are operating. M. Schlicht mentioned a few blips in expenditures but nothing that will impact the budget moving forward. M. O’Neill addressed one of the increased expenditures. M. O’Neill stated that due to the high river event in May diesel Page 1 of 4  pumps had to operate 24/7 causing an increase in the fuel budget. M. Schlicht stated it was an increase to the line item but not the overall budget. • FY27 Budget M. Schlicht stated the proposed 2027 budget is attached for review. M. Schlicht recommended board members review and bring proposal to their units for input as she would like to the have the board’s approval at the July meeting for the budget. M. Schlicht indicated there are no capital improvement projects and the budget is standard. Permit Compliance for May 2026: We had one permit violation for excessive chlorine residual level in our final effluent. The problem was attributed to sodium bisulfite pumping issues and was resolved as soon as it was discovered. Plant Notes • VanDamme hauled biosolids cake from our new 960 storage area to one of their fields near Little Lake. A total of 1008 cubic yards were removed. We are waiting for confirmation for another location to bring the cake that is in our original storage area. • The liquid biosolids unloading station has been re-constructed after having broken and collapsed over the winter. Prime Industrial will be making some modifications to the structure to make it more secure. Once complete, VanDamme can begin hauling the liquid biosolids from the storage tanks to the Cliffs tailings basins. • We are waiting for the replacement level transducer for the #2 Digester. In the meantime, we are taking manual measurements. • We installed a replacement motor for the HVAC unit that serves the plant’s main electrical room. Once installed, we realized that the motor’s starter had also failed. I also diagnosed and replaced a faulty temperature sensor that was preventing the unit from running. Once these parts were replaced, the unit was put back into service. • Staff ordered replacement parts for the sweeper attachment of our Mahindra tractor. Parts are now on hand and are awaiting installation. • Staff replaced the brushes for the DC motor that drives the mixer for the polymer feed system for our original GBT/BFP. Replacing these $20 brushes allowed us to avoid replacing the motor. • We had a 4” PVC valve fitting blow apart on our FEW system. After getting the situation under control, staff were able to repair the broken fitting using spare parts we had on hand. • Kraft was on site to complete scheduled maintenance on both CoGen units. • Staff completed cleaning and inspection of the #3 Primary Clarifier. It is now back in service. Page 2 of 4  • Staff stayed late several hours one day to perform repairs to the polymer metering pump for our original GBT/BFP.

June 2026 Financial Report The enclosed financial statements reflect activity through June 30, 2026. Overall, the Facility continues to operate within budget expectations. Several budget categories appear either above or below the prorated spending level due to the timing of annual expenditures and accounting entries. Notable items include:  The annual MERS defined benefit contribution has been recorded.  Insurance premiums covering the fiscal year have been paid in full.  Debt service principal will not be paid until the September payment date.  The planned annual transfer to replacement reserves will be completed prior to fiscal year-end.  Depreciation expense has been recorded through May.  Revenues billed to the member municipalities are preliminary through May operations and will continue to be reconciled through year-end. Certain operating accounts, such as fuel, purchased water, workers' compensation, and education, exceed budget due to timing or operational needs. These variances are not expected to materially impact the overall financial position of the Facility and will continue to be monitored through the remainder of the fiscal year. FY 2027 Requested Budget The proposed FY 2027 operating budget included with this agenda has been updated since the preliminary budget presented to the Board last month. The most significant revision reflects receipt of the final FY 2027 MERS defined benefit contribution rates, allowing personnel-related expenditures to be refined from the preliminary estimates used during budget development. As a result, the overall requested FY 2027 budget is lower than the preliminary budget reviewed in June while continuing to provide sufficient funding for anticipated operations, maintenance, debt service, and capital reserve contributions. I respectfully recommend that the Board approve the revised FY 2027 budget as presented for submission to the participating municipalities.  June 2026 Financial Report - Page 1 of 4 MARQUETTE AREA WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES For the fiscal period ended June 30, 2026 % of budget Amended collected / Budget FY'26 6/30/2026 distributed NOTES: Operating Revenues Services for City of Marquette $ 5,052,590.00 $ 2,199,886.06 43.54% Services for Marquette Township 541,440.00 238,834.88 44.11% Preliminary billings through May 2026 activities, and monthly PILT amounts recorded through June Services for Chocolay Township 261,630.00 63,934.59 24.44% 2026.

Plant Notes • Staff sampled fields at the VanDamme farm near Arnold to determine whether they can be used as land application sites for our biosolids cake. We are also ready for VanDamme to start hauling liquid biosolids to the Cliffs tailings basins, no word from them as of Monday. • Prime Mechanical was on site to install a cable support and anchoring system to stabilize the liquid biosolids tanker fill station that was damaged over the winter. • Staff cleaned the fresh air intakes for the plant. • Duquaine was on site to diagnose the HVAC unit that serves the Aeration Basin’s control building. They recommended replacement; we are waiting for a quote. • Staff replaced the shear pin for the sweeper attachment on our Mahindra tractor. • Staff dealt with multiple power-related issues and one fallen tree following the storm cell that came through on Sunday.
