Roll call taken. Members present include: Kaczmarski, Siebers, Westphal, McArthur, Brooks. Also presented, Attorney Vande Zande, Jeff Daane, Assistant Administrator Langenfeld, and Administrator Schlieve. No one present for public comment Motion Siebers, second McAurther to approve minutes from January 29, 2026 Economic Development Committee meeting. Carried unanimously. Administrator Schlieve reviewed pending legislative changes on housing. The language supporting creation of housing TIDs is of importance to the city. Schlieve notes that a number of property owners and developers are approaching the city. The legislation as written will cap housing TIDs to 3% of equalized value, which is roughly $25M or 60 to 70 homes. Schlieve indicates that we will need to devise a strategy to address the locations and types of housing development we want to see if this legislation passes. Administrator Schlieve reviews the TID 3 back alley reconstruction projects. BIDs came in a third higher than anticipated for the total project with a majority of the costs related to pipe costs and impacting Waupun Utilities. The project timing is crucial as TID 3 expenditure period ends in 2027. The project goals include upsizing water services for upper level apartments, moving utility service currently running under buildings, addressing stormwater needs and improving parking and pedestrian safety overall. Leverage TID 3 in its final year of expenditure to solve problems. Staff is working with MSA to identify possible ways to reduce costs and collaborating to identify priorities and support the needs of the community.
