INTRODUCTION A. Background In 1984, the Wisconsin legislature created 66.1109 (formerly S. 66.608) of the Statutes (see Appendix A) enabling cities to establish Business Improvement Districts (BIDs). The purpose of the law is “to allow businesses within those districts to develop, to manage and promote the districts and to establish an assessment method to fund these activities.” (1983 Wisconsin Act 184, Section 1, legislative declaration.) The City of Green Bay received a petition from property owners that requested creation of a Business Improvement District for the purpose of revitalizing and improving the Downtown District business area on Green Bay’s east side. (see Appendix B). The BID law requires that every district have an annual Operating Plan. This document is the 2025 Operating Plan for the Downtown District. B. Physical Setting The physical boundaries of the district include Mason Street to the south, Monroe to the east and the Fox and East Rivers bounding the west and north respectively. II. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES Please see the map of the district in Appendix C of this plan. A listing of the properties included in the district is provided in Appendix C. III. PROPOSED OPERATING PLAN A. Plan Objectives The objective of the BID is to provide leadership and management for revitalizing the Downtown District. By emphasizing community-based planning, planning that appreciates the advantages of low-cost, modest initiatives over the blockbuster resuscitation efforts of large-scale stand-alone projects the District performs the classic function of the urban neighborhood. Such districts give growth to new businesses, add substance to the local economy and export their innovations to the rest of the City. B. Proposed Activities - Principal activities to be engaged in by the district during 2025 include: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT - DGBI will implement strategies to drive corporate, residential, and retail development by focusing on business recruitment and retention initiatives in partnership with regional and local entities like New North, the City of Green Bay, and Discover Green Bay. Efforts will include promoting available properties and fostering real estate connectivity. Additionally, DGBI will coordinate networking events, host presentations and business tours, and maintain direct engagement with district property and business owners through the "Downtown Insider" monthly newsletter and personal interactions. 2025 Initiatives: • Evaluate and implement new business recruitment strategies. • Host three Network with your Neighbor meetings throughout the year. WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT- DGBI will create an inviting and distinctive environment for residents and visitors by providing amenities such as summer planters, hanging baskets, winter planters, banners, public art, and holiday décor. Placemaking initiatives will include spring bulb plantings, banners, and lighting projects. Cleanliness efforts will be supported by the Clean Team (paid staff) and the Adopt-A-Block program (volunteers), alongside district-wide clean-up events. DGBI will also foster relationships with the Green Bay Police and business partners to address vandalism and enhance public safety in the district. 3 2025 Initiatives: • Organize placemaking initiatives such as mural and lighting projects in preparation for the 2025 NFL Draft. • Work with local Urban Design Firm, ISG and the City of Green Bay on streetscape improvements for the district. MARKETING AND PROMOTION OF DOWNTOWN - DGBI will promote the BID as a valuable community asset and a unique destination for events, shopping, dining, and business through a mix of digital and traditional marketing channels, including the website, newsletter, social media, print, broadcast, and billboard advertising, to strengthen the Downtown District’s brand. Collaborating with the DGBI Events team, specific marketing plans will be developed to attract visitors and boost foot traffic. Additionally, DGBI will partner with the City’s Economic Development team to create innovative marketing strategies aimed at recruiting new businesses, supporting existing ones, and attracting residents to the district. 2025 Initiatives: • Redesign and expand the website and yearly Visitor Guide. • Create and launch a significant 2025 NFL Draft marketing campaign. EVENTS – Although BID funding is not used for event expenses, DGBI will continue to activate the downtown district through a year-round calendar of engaging events and activities designed to support downtown businesses and attract both residents and visitors. These events will serve as a platform to showcase the unique offerings of the district, driving foot traffic and creating vibrant experiences that benefit the local economy and strengthen community connections. 2025 Initiatives: • Coordinate a slate of engaging events during the 2025 NFL Draft. • Partner with local organizations to support additional Downtown events. COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT- DGBI will work with community partners to better understand and respond to social issues and their impact on district businesses. We will celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion through events and initiatives aimed at fostering a more inclusive environment. Additionally, DGBI will explore the development of an ambassador program in collaboration with city and community partners to ensure a safe and welcoming downtown experience for all. 2025 Initiatives: • Host an annual Safety Summit in collaboration with Public Safety and local community leaders. • Distribute Resource Guide district wide. 4 C.

Financing Method The proposed expenditures contained in Section C, above, will be financed through the BID assessment. It is estimated that approximately $266,308 will be raised through assessments. This amount is a portion of the overall organizational budget of Downtown Green Bay, Inc. Sponsorships and event revenues are anticipated to cover the additional staffing, operating, and event costs. The BID Board shall have the authority and responsibility to prioritize expenditures and to revise the budget as necessary to match the funds available. E. Organization of BID Board Upon creation of the BID, the Mayor will appoint members to the district board ("board"). The board's primary responsibility is the implementation of this Operating Plan. This will require the board to negotiate with providers of services and materials to carry out the Plan; to enter various contracts; to monitor development activity; to periodically revise the Operating Plan; to ensure district compliance with the provisions of applicable statutes and regulations; and to make reimbursements for any overpayments of BID assessments. State law requires that the board be composed of at least five members and that a majority of the board members be owners or occupants of property within the district. It is recommended that the BID board be structured and operate as follows: 1. Board Size – at least Five 2. Composition - At least three fifths members shall be owners or occupants of property within the district. Any non-owner or non-occupant appointed to the board shall be a resident of the City of Green Bay. The board shall elect its Chairperson from among its members. 3. Term - Appointments to the board shall be for a period of three years except that initially two members shall be appointed for a period of three years, two members shall be appointed for a period of two years, and one member shall be appointed for a period of one year. 4. Compensation – None 5. Meetings - All meetings of the board shall be governed by the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law. 6. Record Keeping - Files and records of the board's affairs shall be kept pursuant to public record requirements. 7. Staffing - The board may employ staff and/or contract for staffing services pursuant to this Plan and subsequent modifications thereof. 8. Meetings - The board shall meet regularly, at least twice each year. The board shall adopt rules of order (“by laws”) to govern the conduct of its meetings. 6 F. Relationship to Downtown Green Bay, Inc. The BID shall be a separate entity from Downtown Green Bay, Inc., notwithstanding the fact that members, officers and directors of each may be shared. Downtown Green Bay, Inc. shall remain a private non-profit organization, not subject to the open meeting law, and not subject to the public record law except for its records generated in connection with the BID board. The BID shall contract with Downtown Green Bay, Inc. to provide services, in accordance with this Plan. The Downtown Green Bay, Inc. 501C3 Organization will also manage the Olde Main Street BID. The accounting of the BID assessment funds will be tracked in our accounting software. Each BID’s income and expenses will be separated by Class and can be reported to the BID Boards at any time. IV. METHOD OF ASSESMENT A. Assessment Rate and Method Parcels Assessed All tax parcels within the District required to pay real estate taxes, including those taxed by the State as manufacturing, and all parcels used exclusively for manufacturing, will be assessed. Real property used exclusively for residential purposes may not be assessed, as required by the BID law. Residential property will be defined as 100% residential property or owner-occupied properties. Property exempt from paying real estate taxes will not be assessed. Property owned by government agencies will not be assessed. Levy of Assessment Special assessments under this 2025 Operating Plan are hereby levied against each tax parcel of property within the District which has a separate tax key number, in the amount shown on the assessment schedule which is attached hereto as Appendix D. The assessment was based on the assessed value of that parcel (land and improvements) as shown in the records of the City Assessor’s office in September 2024 except as otherwise identified below. The principle behind the assessment methodology is that each non-exempt parcel’s owners should pay for District development in proportion to the benefits derived. Obviously, not every parcel within the District will benefit equally, thus it has been assumed that hospitality and entertainment uses will derive the most benefit and therefore will contribute to the BID at a higher assessment rate and warehouse uses will benefit the least and therefore contribute at a lower rate. The 2024 assessment shown on Appendix D was calculated as $2.28 for each $1,000 of assessed value for properties whose use is identified as retail, hospitality or entertainment-related and $.76 for each $1,000 of assessed value for properties whose use is identified as office/commercial. Appendix C, attached hereto, contains a list of SIC codes identifying these properties. For properties whose use comprises mixed SIC codes, the property has been identified by the ground level use(s) of any buildings constructed on the property. The ground level use is presumed to be the dominant use of the property. If a ground level has more than two uses, then the property has been identified by the use that makes up more than one half of the ground level square footage. The burden is on the owner to change a property classification from that designated in Appendix D. It must be proven annually by the owner of the property in question to the BID board. B. Excluded and Exempt Property 7 The BID law requires explicit consideration of certain classes of property. In compliance with the law the following statements are provided. 1. State Statute 66.1109(1)(f)lm: The district will contain property used exclusively for manufacturing purposes, as well as properties used in part for manufacturing. These properties will be assessed according to the method set forth in this plan because it is assumed that they will benefit from development in the district. 2. State Statute 66.1109(5)(a): Property known to be used exclusively for residential purposes will not be assessed; such properties will be identified as BID Exempt Properties in Appendix D, as revised each year. 3. In accordance with the interpretation of the City Attorney regarding State Statute 66.1109(1)(b), property exempt from general real estate taxes has been excluded from the district. Privately owned tax-exempt property adjoining the district and which is expected to benefit from district activities may be asked to make a financial contribution to the district on a voluntary basis. V. RELATIONSHIP TO GREEN BAY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ORDERLY DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY A. City Plans Creation of a business improvement district to facilitate District redevelopment is consistent with the City of Green Bay’s Comprehensive Plan, Downtown Design Plan and Waterfront Plan and would promote the orderly development of the City in general. B. City Role in District Operation The City of Green Bay has committed to helping private property owners in the district promote its development. To this end, the City is expected to play a significant role in the creation of the Business Improvement District and in the implementation of the Operating Plan. In particular, the City will: 1. Provide technical assistance to the proponents of the district through adoption of the Plan and provide assistance as appropriate thereafter. 2. Monitor and, when appropriate, apply for outside funds that could be used in support of the district. 3. Collect assessments, maintain in a segregated account, and disburse the monies of the district. 4. Receive annual audits as required per sec. 66.1109 (3) (c) of the BID law. 5. Provide the board, through the Tax Commissioner's Office on or before June 30th of each Plan year, with the official City records and the assessed value of each tax key number with the district, as of January 1st of each Plan year, for purposes of calculating the BID assessments. 6. Encourage the State of Wisconsin, Brown County and other units of government to support the activities of the district. VI. PLAN APPROVAL PROCESS A. Public Review Process The Wisconsin Business Improvement district law establishes a specific process for reviewing and approving proposed districts. Pursuant to the statutory requirements, the following process will be followed: 8 1. The City of Green Bay Plan Commission will review the BID audits and approve the proposed Operating Plan. They will provide a recommendation to Council. 2. Common Council will act on the proposed Operating plans. 3. The Common Council will act on the proposed BID Plan. VII. FUTURE YEAR OPERATING PLANS A. Phased Development It is anticipated that the BID will continue to revise and develop the Operating Plan annually, in response to changing development needs and opportunities in the district, in accordance with the purposes and objectives defined in this Operating Plan. Section 66.1109 (3) (a) of the BID law requires the board and the City to annually review and make changes as appropriate in the Operating Plan. Therefore, while this document outlines in general terms the complete development program, it focuses upon 2025 activities, and information on specific assessed values, budget amounts and assessment amounts are based on 2024 conditions. Greater detail about subsequent year's activities will be provided in the required annual Plan updates, and approval by the Common Council of such Plan updates shall be conclusive evidence of compliance with this Plan and the BID law. In later years, the BID Operating Plan will continue to apply the assessment formula, as adjusted, to raise funds to meet the next annual budget. However, the method of assessing shall not be materially altered, except with the consent of the City of Green Bay. B. Amendment, Severability and Expansion This BID has been created under authority of Section 66.1109 of the Statutes of the State of Wisconsin. Should any court find any portion of this Statute invalid or unconstitutional its decision will not invalidate or terminate the BID and this BID Plan shall be amended to conform to the law without need of reestablishment. Should the legislature amend the Statute to narrow or broaden the process of a BID so as to exclude or include as assessable properties a certain class or classes of properties, then this BID Plan may be amended by the Common Council of the City of Green Bay as and when it conducts its annual Operating Plan approval and without necessity to undertake any other act. This is specifically authorized under Section 66.1109 (3)(b). APPENDICES A. STATUTE B. PETITION C. PROPOSED DISTRICT BOUNDARIES D. 2024 PROJECTED ASSESSMENTS E.
