2024 Operating Plan
Broadway Business Improvement District
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 3
PROPOSED OPERATING PLAN
I. 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 has received a petition from property owners which requests creation of a
Business Improvement District for the purpose of revitalizing and improving the Broadway business area
on Green Bay’s West side. (see Appendix B). The BID law requires that every district have an annual
Operating Plan. This document is the initial Operating Plan for the proposed Broadway Business
Improvement District. The BID proponents prepared this Plan with technical assistance from the City of
Green Bay Economic Development Department.
B. Physical Setting
The Broadway Business Improvement District has a general setting starting at the point where Mason
Street meets the west bank of the Fox River; west to the southwestern property line of parcel 2-948
(Wisconsin Central LTD); continuing northwest to Maple Avenue; north on Maple Avenue to the
northern property line of parcel 3-1144-B (339 South Maple Avenue); east along said property line to
Chestnut Avenue; north along Chestnut Avenue to Howard Street; west on Howard Street to the
alleyway beginning on the western most property line of parcel 3-330 (506-508 Howard Street); north
through the alleyway to the southern border of parcel 3-85 (515 West Walnut Street); west at the
property line to South Maple Avenue; north on South Maple Avenue through Walnut Street to the
northern property line of 4-223 (514 West Walnut Street); east at said property line to alleyway; north in
alleyway to the northern property line of parcel 4-102 (230 North Maple Avenue); west along said
property line to North Maple Avenue; north on North Maple Avenue to Dousman Street; west on
Dousman Street to alleyway beginning at the western property line of parcel 5-607 (301 North Maple
Avenue); north in said alleyway to northern property line of parcel 5-605-1; east along said property line
to North Maple Avenue; north on North Maple Avenue to Kellogg Street; east on Kellogg Street to
Chestnut Avenue; north on Chestnut Avenue to Elmore Street; east on Elmore Street to Broadway
Street; north on Broadway Street to alleyway beginning on the northern property line of parcel 5-72
(710 North Broadway Street); east through said alleyway to McDonald Street; north on McDonald
Street to James Street; east on James Street to the northeastern property line of parcel 5-1525-A; south
along said property line to western bank of Fox River.
II. DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Boundaries of the proposed district are shown on the map in Appendix B 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 object of the Broadway Business Improvement District is to foster a vibrant community activated
by:
o People strolling the streets shopping for one-of-a kind gifts or everyday goods
o Diners enjoying diverse restaurants that intermingle with shops and other cultural and
entertainment venues
o Activity flowing between the streets of Broadway and the waterfront to the rest of downtown
o A variety of housing styles mixed throughout the district, proving affordable housing for all
markets
o The entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a strong dynamic employee base
As creativity and art provide the underlying pulse of the district, these elements combine making the
Broadway District the place people of all ages and backgrounds come to shop, eat, live, work, network
and play.
Proposed Activities – Year Next
Principle activities to be engaged in by the district during its next year of operation, if the environment
allows, will include:
1. Maintain benches, garbage cans, planters/beautification, pole banners, and other hardscape
improvements throughout the district. 50 planters will be planted in the spring with flowers, 20
planters with fall décor, weed management throughout district during the growing season,
weed management and perennial plantings in 48 tree boxes, 25 bowls with winter décor,
coordinated trash pickups once per month, 150 poles banners, and 30 trees with annual lighting.
2. Enhance public art installations throughout the district by partially funding the installation of
two murals, a temporary sculpture, utility box wraps, and other streetscape art such as sidewalk
poetry, painted pianos, or decorative lighting. Expand decorative public seating in a high impact
area with heavy pedestrian traffic.
3. Improve awareness of BBID investments in the district by partnering with On Broadway, Inc. and
other funded partners to promote the BBID brand.
4. Maintain a mini-grant program to support retail occupancy of ground floor storefronts. Mini-
grants may also support streetscape activation including retail racks, tables, chairs, etc.
5. Help sustain operations and solvency of On Broadway, Inc. by providing an administrative
allocation for payment of rent, telephones, internet, office supplies, utilities and salaries that
are necessary to perform services to the businesses in the district.
6. Initiate conversations with adjacent commercial property owners north of Mason Street to
gauge interest in joining the BBID, and subsequently propose modifications if warranted to the
City of Green Bay Plan Commission.
7. Review and make recommendations to update the by-laws of the BBID.

B. Financing Method
It is proposed to raise $107,639 with estimated manufacturing assessments through BID assessments
(see Appendix C). The BID Board shall have the authority and responsibility to prioritize expenditures
and to revise the budget as necessary to match the funds actually available.
C. Organization of BID Board
Upon creation of the BID, the Mayor will appoint members to the district board ("board"). The board's
primary responsibility will be 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 into 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.
The Broadway Business Improvement District Board shall be organized as follows:
1. Board size – Maximum of 9, minimum of 7, with one representative of the Mayor or Council.
2. Composition - A majority (at least 5) members shall be owners or occupants of property within
the District.
3. Term – The nine board member positions shall rotate every three years, with three positions
expiring at the end of each calendar year-end. The Board may remove, by a majority vote, any
BID Board member who is absent from more than 3 meetings, without a valid excuse. In the
event that a member takes the position mid-term (before the position expires every three
years), that term shall count as the first term if two years or more remain on the term. Should
less than two years remain on the term, this time is not counted towards the term limit and the
board member shall be allowed to serve up to the maximum two additional three year terms.
4. Compensation - None.
5. Meetings - All meetings of the Board shall be governed by the Wisconsin Open Meetings Law.
Minutes will be recorded and submitted to the City and the Board. The Board shall adopt rules
of order to govern the conduct of its meetings and meet regularly, at least annually.
6. Record keeping - Files and records of the Board’s affairs shall be kept pursuant to public records
requirements.
7. Staffing - The Board may employ staff and/or contract for staffing services pursuant to this Plan
and subsequent modifications thereof. Unless requested otherwise by the Board, any staff
members or employees of contractors may attend all meetings of the Board, but will not have
voting authority.
8. Officers - The Board shall appoint a Chairman, Treasurer and Secretary, any two of the three of
which shall have the power to execute documents on behalf of the full Board, for the purposes
authorized by the full Board. The Board may also give its staff limited ability to write checks to
carry out the Plan. Any individual on the Board can be appointed an Officer, but shall be limited
to two consecutive years as an Officer.
D. Relationship to On Broadway, Inc.
The BID shall be a separate entity from On Broadway, Inc., notwithstanding the fact that members,
officers and directors of each may be shared. The Association shall remain a private 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 Association may, and it is intended, shall, contract with
the BID to provide services to the BID, in accordance with this Plan.
IV. METHOD OF ASSESMENT
A. Assessment Rate and Method
The principle behind the assessment methodology is that each property should contribute to the BID in
proportion to the benefit derived from the BID. After consideration of other assessment methods, it was
determined that assessed value of a property was the characteristic most directly related to the potential
benefit provided by the BID. Therefore, a fixed assessment on the assessed value of the property was
selected as the basic assessment methodology for this BID.
As of January 1, 2024, the property in the Broadway Business Improvement District will have a total
assessed value of $76.885 million. This plan proposes to assess the property in the district at a rate of
$1.40 per $1,000.00 of assessed value. This represents a 5% change from the prior year, or $0.07 per
$1,000, and subject to the maximum assessment for the purposes of the BID.
Appendix shows the projected BID assessment for each property included in the district.
B. Excluded and Exempt Property
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 C, 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
Objectives: Downtown Revitalization Support economic revitalization of downtown by
encouraging diverse economic activity including government and professional offices, insurance
and financial services, education and training, convention, lodging, food and beverages, and
entertainment, retail, and high-density residential land uses. - Chapter 26: Economic
Development: Objective - 4, from Smart Growth 2022, City of Green Bay, May 2003.
Land Uses: “Downtown” Mixed Use: The “downtown” land use category allows and promotes
high-intensity office, retail, housing and civic land uses, preferably in mixed use buildings with a
strong pedestrian orientation. It applies within the Broadway corridor as it does in Downtown
“proper,” although the scale of buildings along Broadway is smaller, and the intensity of use is
likely to be somewhat lower. As discussed in the Historic Preservation Plan, the Broadway
historic districts could benefit from site plan review of development projects, using design
standards that are geared to the specific character of those districts. - Chapter22:
Neighborhoods and Districts: Objectives, Policies and Recommendations for District 3, from
Smart Growth 2022, City of Green Bay, May 2003.
Based on the objectives and land use requirements cited above, this BID Operating Plan is
consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan for the Broadway District.
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 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:
1. The City of Green Bay Plan Commission will review the proposed district boundaries and
proposed Operating Plan and will then set a date for a formal public hearing.
2. The City Plan Commission, in cooperation with the Economic Development Department, will
send, by certified mail, a public hearing notice and a copy of the proposed Operating Plan to
all owners of real property within the proposed district. In addition, a Class 2 notice of the
public hearing will be published in a local newspaper of general circulation.
3. The City Plan Commission will hold a public hearing, will approve or disapprove the Plan,
and will report its action to the Common Council.
4. The Common Council will act on the proposed BID Plan.
5. If adopted by the Common Council, the proposed BID Plan is sent to the Mayor for his
approval.
6. If approved by the Mayor, the BID is created and the Mayor will appoint members to the
district board established to implement the Plan.
B. Petition against Creation of the BID
The City may not create the Business Improvement district if, within 30 days of the City Plan
Commission's hearing, a petition is filed with the City containing signatures of:
1. Owners of property to be assessed under the proposed initial Operating Plan having a
valuation equal to more than 40% of the valuation of all property to be assessed under
the proposed initial Operating Plan, using the method of valuation specified in the
proposed initial Operating Plan; or
2. Owners of property to be assessed under the proposed initial Operating Plan having an
assessed valuation equal to more than 40% of the assessed valuation of all property to
be assessed under the proposed Operating 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 initial 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 Year One activities, and
information on specific assessed values, budget amounts and assessment amounts are based on
Year One 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 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).
