Reporting and insights from the 2024 audit: Green Bay Water Utility December 31. 2024 Executive summary May 19, 2025 To board of Commissioners Green Bay Water Utility We have completed our audit of the financial statements of the Green Bay Water Utility (Utility) for the year ended December 31, 2024, and have issued our report thereon dated May 19, 2025. This letter presents communications required by our professional standards. Your audit should provide you with confidence in your financial statements. The audit was performed based on information obtained from meetings with management, data from your systems, knowledge of the Utility’s operating environment and our risk assessment procedures. We strive to provide you clear, concise communication throughout the audit process and of the final results of our audit. Additionally, we have included information on key risk areas Utility should be aware of in your strategic planning. We are available to discuss these risks as they relate to your organization’s financial stability and future planning. If you have questions at any point, please connect with us: • Jodi Dobson, Partner: jodi.dobson@bakertilly.com or +1 (608) 240 2469 • Ryan O’Donnell, Senior Manager: ryan.odonnell@bakertilly.com or +1 (608) 240 2606 Sincerely, Baker Tilly US, LLP Jodi Dobson, Principal Ryan O’Donnell, Director THIS COMMUNICATION IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR THE INFORMATION AND USE OF THOSE CHARGED WITH GOVERNANCE, AND, IF APPROPRIATE, MANAGEMENT, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED BY ANYONE OTHER THAN THESE SPECIFIED PARTIES. BAKER TILLY ADVISORY GROUP, LP AND BAKER TILLY US, LLP, TRADING AS BAKER TILLY, ARE MEMBERS OF THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF BAKER TILLY INTERNATIONAL LTD., THE MEMBERS OF WHICH ARE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT LEGAL ENTITIES. BAKER TILLY US, LLP IS A LICENSED CPA FIRM THAT PROVIDES ASSURANCE SERVICES TO ITS CLIENTS. BAKER TILLY ADVISORY GROUP, LP AND ITS SUBSIDIARY ENTITIES PROVIDE TAX AND CONSULTING SERVICES TO THEIR CLIENTS AND ARE NOT LICENSED CPA FIRMS. Responsibilities Our responsibilities As your independent auditor, our responsibilities include: • Planning and performing the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. • Assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. Included in that assessment is a consideration of the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting. • Performing appropriate procedures based upon our risk assessment. • Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management. • Forming and expressing an opinion based on our audit about whether the financial statements prepared by management, with the oversight of the Board of Commissioners: • Are free from material misstatement • Present fairly, in all material respects and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America • Our audit does not relieve management or the Board of Commissioners of their responsibilities. We are also required to communicate significant matters related to our audit that are relevant to the responsibilities of the Board of Commissioners, including: • Internal control matters • Qualitative aspects of the Utility’s accounting practice including policies, accounting estimates and financial statement disclosures • Significant unusual transactions • Significant difficulties encountered • Disagreements with management • Circumstances that affect the form and content of the auditors’ report • Audit consultations outside the engagement team • Corrected and uncorrected misstatements • Other audit findings or issues © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 3 Audit status Significant changes to the audit plan There were no significant changes made to either our planned audit strategy or to the significant risks and other areas of emphasis identified during the performance of our risk assessment procedures. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 4 Audit approach and results Planned scope and timing Audit focus Based on our understanding of the Utility and environment in which you operate, we focused our audit on the following key areas: • Key transaction cycles • Areas with significant estimates • Implementation of new accounting standards (if applicable) Our areas of audit focus were informed by, among other things, our assessment of materiality. Materiality in the context of our audit was determined based on specific qualitative and quantitative factors combined with our expectations about the Utility’s current year results. Key areas of focus and significant findings Significant risks of material misstatement A significant risk is an identified and assessed risk of material misstatement that, in the auditor’s professional judgment, requires special audit consideration. Within our audit, we focused on the following areas below. Significant risk areas Testing approach Conclusion Management override of Incorporate unpredictability into Procedures identified provided controls audit procedures, emphasize sufficient evidence for our audit professional skepticism and opinion utilize audit team with industry expertise Improper revenue recognition Confirmation or validation of Procedures identified provided due to fraud certain revenues supplemented sufficient evidence for our audit with detailed predictive analytics opinion based on non-financial data and substantive testing of related receivables Other areas of emphasis We also focused on other areas that did not meet the definition of a significant risk, but were determined to require specific awareness and a unique audit response. Other areas of emphasis Cash and investments Revenues and receivables General disbursements Payroll Pension and OPEB Long-term debt liabilities Capital assets including Net position calculations Financial reporting and required infrastructure disclosures © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 5 Internal control matters We considered the Utility’s internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our audit procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements. We are not expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Utility’s internal control. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and, therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 6 Required communications Qualitative aspect of accounting practices • Accounting policies: Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter, we have advised management about the appropriateness of accounting policies and their application. The significant accounting policies used by Utility are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing accounting policies was not changed during 2024. We noted no transactions entered into by the Utility during the year for which accounting policies are controversial or for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus or diversity in practice. • Accounting estimates: Accounting estimates, including fair value estimates, are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements, the degree of subjectivity involved in their development and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The following estimates are of most significance to the financial statements: Management’s process to Baker Tilly’s conclusions Estimate determine regarding reasonableness Depreciation Evaluate estimated useful life Reasonable in relation to the of the asset and original financial statements as a whole acquisition value Net pension liability Evaluation of information Reasonable in relation to the (asset) and related provided by the Wisconsin financial statements as a whole deferrals Retirement System Unbilled Revenue Evaluation of usage and days Reasonable in relation to the until next cycle in conjunction financial statements as a whole with approved billing rates There have been no significant changes made by management to either the processes used to develop the particularly sensitive accounting estimates, or to the significant assumptions used to develop the estimates noted above. • Financial statement disclosures: The disclosures in the financial statements are neutral, consistent and clear. Significant unusual transactions There have been no significant transactions that are outside the normal course of business for the Utility or that otherwise appear to be unusual due to their timing, size or nature. Significant difficulties encountered during the audit We encountered no significant difficulties in dealing with management and completing our audit. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 7 Disagreements with management Professional standards define a disagreement with management as a matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction, concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditors' report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Audit report There have been no departures from the auditors’ standard report. Uncorrected misstatements and corrected misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are trivial, and communicate them to the appropriate level of management. There were no misstatements identified. Other audit findings or issues We encountered no other audit findings or issues that require communication at this time. We generally discuss a variety of matters, including the application of accounting principles and auditing standards, with management each year prior to retention as the Utility’s auditors. However, these discussions occurred in the normal course of our professional relationship and our responses were not a condition to our retention. Other information in documents containing audited basic financial statements Annual Comprehensive Financial Report The Utility’s audited financial statements will be included in the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR). Our responsibility for this information does not extend beyond the financial information identified in the audit report, and we are not required to perform any procedures to corroborate such other information. We have read the ACFR to determine whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements. Nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that such information, or its manner of presentation, was materially inconsistent with the information, or manner of its presentation, in the financial statements. Official statements The Utility’s audited financial statements are “general purpose” financial statements. General purpose financial statements consist of the basic financial statements that can be used by a broad group of people for a broad range of activities. Once we have issued our audit report, we have no further obligation to update our report for events occurring subsequent to the date of our report. The Utility can use the audited financial statements in other client prepare documents, such as official statements related to the issuance of debt, without our acknowledgement. Unless we have been engaged to perform services in connection with any subsequent transaction requiring the inclusion of our audit report, as well as to issue an auditor’s acknowledgment letter, we have neither read the document nor performed subsequent event procedures in order to determine whether or not our report remains appropriate. Management’s consultations with other accountants In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters. Management informed us that, and to our knowledge, there were no consultations with other accountants regarding auditing or accounting matters. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 8 Written communications between management and Baker Tilly The attachments include copies of other material written communications, including a copy of the management representation letter. Compliance with laws and regulations We did not identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations during our audit. Fraud We did not identify any known or suspected fraud during our audit. Going concern Pursuant to professional standards, we are required to communicate to you, when applicable, certain matters relating to our evaluation of the Utility’s to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time but no less than 12 months from the date of the financial statements, including the effects on the financial statements and the adequacy of the related disclosures, and the effects on the auditor's report. No such matters or conditions have come to our attention during our engagement. Independence We are not aware of any relationships between Baker Tilly and the Utility that, in our professional judgment, may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence. Related parties We did not have any significant findings or issues arise during the audit in connection with the Utility’s related parties. Other matters We applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information (RSI) that supplements the basic financial statements. Our procedures consisted of inquiries of management regarding the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We did not audit the RSI and do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the RSI. We were engaged to report on the supplementary information which accompanies the financial statements but is not RSI. With respect to the supplementary information, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or the modified cash basis of accounting, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. We were not engaged to report on the other information, which accompanies the financial statements but are not RSI. We did not audit or perform other procedures on this other information, and we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 9 Nonattest services The following nonattest services were provided by Baker Tilly: • Financial statement preparation • IRA consulting services None of these nonattest services constitute an audit under generally accepted auditing standards, including Government Auditing Standards. *Non-attest services are provided by Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 10 Audit committee resources Our business is to know every aspect of yours and to maintain a constant lookout for what's next.

New guidance on disclosure of certain risks The requirements in GASB Statement No. 102, Certain Risk Disclosures is meant to provide financial statement users with information about certain risks when circumstances make a government vulnerable to a heightened possibility of loss or harm. It requires governments to disclose essential information about risks related to vulnerabilities due to certain concentrations or constraints. (a) The Statement defines a concentration as a lack of diversity related to an aspect of a significant inflow or outflow of resources—for example, a small number of companies that represent a majority of employment in a government’s jurisdiction, or a government that relies on one revenue source for most of its revenue. (b) The Statement defines a constraint as a limitation imposed on a government by an external party or by formal action of the government’s highest level of decision-making authority—such as a voter-approved property tax cap or a state-imposed debt limit. Concentrations and constraints may limit a government’s ability to acquire resources or control spending. The Statement generally requires a government to disclose information about a concentration or constraint if all of the following criteria are met: (a) The concentration or constraint is known to the government prior to issuing the financial statements. (b) The concentration or constraint makes the government vulnerable to the risk of a substantial impact. (c) An event or events associated with the concentration or constraint that could cause a substantial impact have occurred, have begun to occur, or are more likely than not to begin to occur within 12 months of the date the financial statements are issued. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 19 The disclosures should include a description of the following: • The concentration or constraint, • Each event associated with the concentration or constraint that could cause a substantial impact if the event has occurred or has begun to occur prior to the issuance of the financial statements, and • Actions taken by the government to mitigate the risk prior to the issuance of the financial statements. Changes to the financial reporting model GASB Statement 103, Financial Reporting Model Improvements, builds on Statement 34 by providing key targeted improvements to the financial reporting model. Its requirements are designed to: • Enhance the effectiveness of governmental financial reports in providing information essential for decision making and assessing a government’s accountability, and • Address certain application issues. The targeted improvements contained in Statement 103 establish or modify existing accounting and financial reporting requirements related to: • Management’s discussion and analysis - While the overall requirements do not substantially change management’s discussion and analysis, the modifications are meant to improve the analysis included in this section and provide details about the items that should be discussed as currently known facts, decisions, or conditions expected to have a significant financial effect in the subsequent period. • Unusual or infrequent items (previously known as extraordinary and special items) - The new Statement simplifies GASB literature by eliminating the separate presentation of extraordinary and special items. Under the requirement of Statement 103, applicable items will either be identified as unusual or infrequent, or both. • Presentation of the proprietary fund statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in fund net position - The changes are designed to improve consistency around the classification of items in these statements by better defining what should be included in operating revenues and expenses and nonoperating revenues and expenses including, for example, the addition of subsidies received or provided as a new category of nonoperating revenues and expenses. • Major component unit information, and Budgetary comparison information - Statement 103 is designed to improve the consistency of the reporting of major component unit information and budgetary comparison information by specifying required placement of that information. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 20 Two-way audit communications As part of our audit of your financial statements, we are providing communications to you throughout the audit process. Auditing requirements provide for two-way communication and are important in assisting the auditor and you with more information relevant to the audit. As this past audit is concluded, we use what we have learned to begin the planning process for next year’s audit. It is important that you understand the following points about the scope and timing of our next audit: a. We address the significant risks of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, through our detailed audit procedures. b. We will obtain an understanding of the five components of internal control sufficient to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements whether due to error or fraud, and to design the nature, timing and extent of further audit procedures. We will obtain a sufficient understanding by performing risk assessment procedures to evaluate the design of controls relevant to an audit of financial statements and to determine whether they have been implemented. We will use such knowledge to: • Identify types of potential misstatements. • Consider factors that affect the risks of material misstatement. • Design tests of controls, when applicable, and substantive procedures. c. We will not express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting or compliance with laws, regulations and provisions of contracts or grant programs. d. The concept of materiality recognizes that some matters, either individually or in the aggregate, are important for fair presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles while other matters are not important. In performing the audit, we are concerned with matters that, either individually or in the aggregate, could be material to the financial statements. Our responsibility is to plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance that material misstatements, whether caused by errors or fraud, are detected. Our audit will be performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We are very interested in your views regarding certain matters. Those matters are listed here: a. We typically will communicate with your top level of management unless you tell us otherwise. b. We understand that the governing board has the responsibility to oversee the strategic direction of your organization, as well as the overall accountability of the entity. Management has the responsibility for achieving the objectives of the entity. c. We need to know your views about your organization’s objectives and strategies, and the related business risks that may result in material misstatements. d. We anticipate that the Utility will receive an unmodified opinion on its financial statements. e. Which matters do you consider warrant particular attention during the audit, and are there any areas where you request additional procedures to be undertaken? f. Have you had any significant communications with regulators or grantor agencies? g. Are there other matters that you believe are relevant to the audit of the financial statements? © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 21 Also, is there anything that we need to know about the attitudes, awareness and actions of the governing body concerning: a. The entity’s internal control and its importance in the entity, including how those charged with governance oversee the effectiveness of internal control? b. The detection or the possibility of fraud? We also need to know if you have taken actions in response to developments in financial reporting, laws, accounting standards, governance practices, or other related matters, or in response to previous communications with us. With regard to the timing of our audit, here is some general information. If necessary, we may do preliminary financial audit work during the months of October-December, and sometimes early in January. Our final financial fieldwork is scheduled during March/April to best coincide with your readiness and report deadlines. After fieldwork, we wrap up our financial audit procedures at our office and may issue drafts of our report for your review. Final copies of our report and other communications are issued after approval by your staff. This is typically 6-12 weeks after final fieldwork, but may vary depending on a number of factors. Keep in mind that while this communication may assist us with planning the scope and timing of the audit, it does not change the auditor’s sole responsibility to determine the overall audit strategy and the audit plan, including the nature, timing and extent of procedures necessary to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. We realize that you may have questions on what this all means, or wish to provide other feedback. We welcome the opportunity to hear from you. © 2024 Baker Tilly US, LLP Page | 22 ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT INCLUDING AUDITORS’ REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023 GREEN BAY WATER UTILITY A Departmental Unit of the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin GREEN BAY WATER UTILITY A Departmental Unit of the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin ANNUAL COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REPORT YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023 Prepared by: Stephanie R.

Adams Street Green Bay, WI 54301 (920) 448-3480 May 20, 2024 A Message from the General Manager I am pleased to present Green Bay Water Utility's 2024 achievements, a year marked by our dedication to innovation, reliability, and our team. Our team tirelessly ensures our community's access to water throughout the year. We know our role goes beyond water provision - we deliver a vital life necessity, contributing to safety, economic vitality, and touching daily lives in Green Bay. We sold 6.19 billion gallons of water and earned a little more than $26 million from water sales that directly finance our operations. In 2024, we conducted high-velocity flushing and satellite leak detection of our distribution system for the sixth time, detecting and repairing twenty-one leaks. The Utility replaced or rehabilitated about 4.2 miles of water main infrastructure during the year. Significant advancements were made in ensuring the safety and reliability of our water supply. 125 private galvanized services previously linked to lead were replaced with grant funding from the DNR. We began a new partnership with the Village of Pulaski, which will source its wholesale drinking water from us in 2026. Our fiscal responsibility was affirmed by receiving the Government Finance Officers Association Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the 30th year in a row for our 2023 annual financial statements. Alongside our operational focus, we maintained our commitment to community engagement and access to water for all. In terms of public safety, we ensured water availability at the required pressure and flow rate at every fire hydrant, underscoring our dedication to this vital responsibility. Indeed, 2024 was a successful year for Green Bay Water Utility. I extend heartfelt thanks to the Water Commission, Mayor, Common Council, and all those whose contributions were invaluable to our progress. As we look ahead, we promise to continue delivering top-quality drinking water and unrivaled customer service. We are more than a utility - we are a key component of the community we serve.

Baird & Co., Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 8 FINANCIAL SECTION Independent Auditors' Report To the Board of Commissioners of Green Bay Water Utility Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the Green Bay Water Utility (Utility), an enterprise fund of the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Utility as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the changes in financial position and cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Utility and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note 1, the financial statements present only the Utility and do not purport to, and do not, present fairly the financial position of the City of Green Bay, Wisconsin as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, and the changes in financial position or cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; and for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP and Baker Tilly US, LLP, trading as Baker Tilly, are members of the global network of Baker Tilly International Ltd., the members of which are separate and independent legal entities. Baker Tilly US, LLP is a licensed CPA firm that provides assurance services to its clients. Baker Tilly Advisory Group, LP and its subsidiary entities provide tax and consulting services to their clients and are not licensed CPA firms. 9 Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:  Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Utility’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit. Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the required supplementary information, as listed in the table of contents be presented to supplement the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. 10 Supplementary Information Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements as a whole. The accompanying supplementary information as listed in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Other Information Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report. The introductory section and the statistical section comprises the other information included in the annual comprehensive financial report but does not include the financial statements and our auditors' report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the financial statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work performed, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are required to describe it in our report.

The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting principles and policies utilized by the Utility are described below: A. REPORTING ENTITY The Utility and the Board of Waterworks Commissioners (the Commission) were created by City of Green Bay (the City) ordinance. The Commission provides nonpartisan management to the Utility pursuant to Chapter 66 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The Commissioners are appointed to seven-year, non-concurrent terms. The Utility encompasses all water supply and transmission operations within the City. The Utility is a department of the City. In compliance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 61, the Utility is presented as an enterprise fund in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (annual report), which is available from the City's Finance Department at 100 North Jefferson Street, Green Bay, Wisconsin or https://greenbaywi.gov/Archive.aspx?AMID=37 B. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Utility accounts for its operations as an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to account for government operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business with the intent that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing services to the general public be financed primarily through user charges. The Utility financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Enterprise funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with an Enterprise fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Utility are charges to customers for services. Operating expenses include the costs of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses. The Utility is regulated by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin (PSCW) pursuant to Chapter 196 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The PSCW prescribes accounting policies under a uniform system of accounts for municipal water utilities and approves their rates. These accounting practices are in substantial agreement with generally accepted accounting principles as applicable to governmental enterprise funds except for the recording of additional accumulated depreciation on contributed plant received prior to calendar year 2003, recognition of pension and other post-employment benefits (OPEB) expense, and classification of the tax equivalent on the Statement of Changes in Net Position. These PSCW-prescribed accounting practices are not implemented for reporting purposes in this financial report. 22 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 C. ASSETS, LIABILITIES, DEFERRED OUTFLOWS/INFLOWS OF RESOURCES, AND NET POSITION Cash and Investments Cash and investments are combined in the financial statements. Cash deposits consist of demand and time deposits with financial institutions and are carried at cost. Investments are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all cash deposits and highly liquid investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less from date of acquisition are considered to be cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at gross amounts with uncollectible amounts recognized under the direct write-off method. No allowance for uncollectible accounts has been provided since the Utility has the right under Wisconsin Statute 66.069 to place delinquent water bills on the tax roll for collection. Inventories Inventories are recorded at cost, which approximates market, using the weighted average method. Inventories consist of expendable supplies held for consumption. The cost is recorded as an expense at the time individual inventory items are consumed rather than when purchased. Prepaid Items Payments made to vendors that will benefit periods beyond the end of the current fiscal year are recorded as prepaid items and are accounted for on the consumption method. Restricted Assets Certain proceeds from waterworks revenue bonds and Utility funds set aside for their repayment are classified as restricted on the statement of net position because their use is limited by applicable bond covenants. In addition, certain assets are restricted by external grantors for specific purposes. Restricted assets have also been reported in connection with the net pension asset balance since this balance must be used to fund employee benefits. Construction Grant to Wholesale Customers The construction grant consists of contributions made for the contract to provide wholesale water service to the Village of Wrightstown, with the balance (net of amortization) of $348,150 and $379,800 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Non-Utility Plant (net of Amortization) Nonutility property consists of costs to contract and contribute a Booster Station and Reservoir to the Village of Ashwaubenon, with a balance (net of amortization) of $854,446 and $985,899 as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Capital Assets Capital assets are defined by the Utility as assets with an initial, individual cost of $500 or higher and an estimated useful life in excess of a year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated acquisition value at the date of donation. The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. 23 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Estimated lives and depreciation rates are established by the PSCW. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Assets Years Buildings 31-35 Improvements other than buildings 18-77 Machinery and equipment 3-30 Sewer and Storm Water Collections The Utility performs the billing and collection functions for the City of Green Bay Sanitary Sewer Fund and the City of Green Bay Storm Water Utility. After collection, these funds are remitted to the City. The Utility charges the City for these services at cost plus a return on investment. Compensated Absences It is the Utility's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and sick leave benefits in accordance with employee handbook policies. All vacation and sick leave is accrued when incurred. A majority of the compensated absences are recorded as a current liability for these amounts are expected to be used within one year. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources In addition to assets, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense) until then. The Utility has two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The first is the unamortized loss on refunding resulting from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The second item is related to the Utility's proportionate share of the Wisconsin Retirement System pension plan and is deferred and amortized over the expected remaining service lives of the pension plan participants. In addition to liabilities, the statement of net position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The Utility has two items that qualifies for reporting in this category. The first item is related to the Utility's proportionate share of the Wisconsin Retirement System pension plan and is deferred and amortized over the expected remaining service lives of the pension plan participants. The second item relates to capital asset leases deferred and amortized over their expected remaining terms. Long-term Obligations Long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as Utility liabilities. Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are expensed as incurred. Leases The Utility is a lessor because it leases capital assets to other entities. As a lessor, the Utility reports a lease receivable and corresponding deferred inflow of resources in the financial statements. The Utility report and depreciate the capital assets being leased as capital assets. 24 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Pensions For purposes of measuring the net pension liability (asset), deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and additions to/deductions from WRS' fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by WRS. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value. Net Position Net Position is classified in three components:  Net investment in capital assets. Amount of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation, and capital related deferred outflows of resources less outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and any capital related deferred inflows of resources.  Restricted net position. Amount of net position that is subject to restrictions that are imposed by 1) external groups, such as creditors, grantors, contributors or laws or regulations of other governments or 2) law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.  Unrestricted net position. Net position that is neither classified as restricted nor as net investment in capital assets. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Utility's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. D. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. E. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements with no change in previously reported net position or changes in net position. NOTE 2: DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS A. CASH AND INVESTMENTS The Utility maintains various restricted and unrestricted cash and investment accounts. Invested cash consists of deposits and investments that are restricted by Wisconsin Statutes to the following: Time deposits; repurchase agreements; securities issued by federal, state and local governmental entities; statutorily authorized commercial paper and corporate securities; and the Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool. 25 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 The carrying amount of the Utility's cash and investments totaled $17,140,631 on December 31, 2024 and $19,366,599 on December 31, 2023 as summarized below: 2024 2023 Petty cash and cash on hand $ 1,700 $ 1,700 Deposits with financial institutions 11,061,192 12,867,023 Investments Negotiable certificate of deposit - 476,507 Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool 116,930 110,993 U.S. Treasury 3,135,437 2,124,227 State and municipal bonds 698,685 1,938,543 Agency securities 2,126,686 1,847,607 $ 17,140,630 $ 19,366,599 Reconciliation to the financial statements: 2024 2023 Unrestricted current assets Cash and investments $ 10,018,303 $ 11,716,535 Restricted current assets Cash and investments 847,633 952,580 Restricted noncurrent assets Cash and investments 6,274,694 6,697,484 $ 17,140,630 $ 19,366,599 Fair Value Measurements The Utility categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2 inputs are significant observable inputs; Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs. The Utility has the following fair value measurements as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.  State and local government securities, U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds and federal agency securities are valued using significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) of quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.  Negotiable certificates of deposit are valued using significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs) of quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. Deposits and investments of the Utility are subject to various risks. Presented below is a discussion of the Utility's deposits and investments and the related risks. Custodial Credit Risk Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that, in the event of the failure of a depository financial institution, a government will not be able to recover its deposits or will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The custodial credit risk for investments is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. Wisconsin statutes require repurchase agreements to be fully collateralized by bonds or securities issued or guaranteed by the federal government or its instrumentalities. The Utility does not have an additional custodial credit policy. 26 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Deposits with financial institutions within the State of Wisconsin are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in the amount of $250,000 for the combined amount of all time and savings deposits and $250,000 for interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand deposits per official custodian per insured depository institution. Deposits with financial institutions located outside the State of Wisconsin are insured by the FDIC in the amount of $250,000 for the combined amount of all deposit accounts per official custodian per depository institution. Deposits with credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) in the amount of $250,000 per credit union member. Also, the State of Wisconsin has a State Guarantee Fund, which provides a maximum of $1,000,000 per public depository above the amount provided by an agency of the U.S. Government. However, due to the relatively small size of the State Guarantee Fund in relation to the Fund's total coverage, total recovery of insured losses may not be available. This coverage has been considered in determining custodial credit risk. As of December 31, 2024, $9,561,193 and as of December 31, 2023, $12,979,423 of the Utility's deposits with financial institutions were in excess of federal and state depository insurance limits. All amounts were collateralized with securities held by the pledging financial institution or its trust department or agent but not in the Utility's name. Credit Risk Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wisconsin statutes limit investment in securities to the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Presented below is the actual rating as of the year- end for each investment type.

This policy does not apply to investments held in the Debt Reserve Fund, which are invested in accordance with terms of the 2021 debt financing transaction.

Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. One of the ways that the Utility manages its exposure to interest rate risk is by timing cash flows from maturities so that a portion of the portfolio is maturing or coming close to maturity evenly over time as necessary to provide the cash flow and liquidity needed for operations. By laddering its portfolio to match scheduled disbursements and by maintaining a prudent balance in an interest-bearing checking account for unexpected draws, the Utility ensures sufficient liquidity to meet its cash flow needs. The Utility's investment policy requires that the portfolio weighted average maturity shall remain below twelve months. This policy does not apply to investments held in the Debt Reserve Fund, which are invested in accordance with terms of the 2021 debt financing transaction.

Investments in Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool The Utility has investments in the Wisconsin Local Government Investment pool of $116,930 and $110,993 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively. The Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) is part of the State Investment Fund (SIF), and is managed by the State of Wisconsin Investment Board. The SIF is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, but operates under the statutory authority of Wisconsin Chapter 25. The SIF reports the fair value of its underlying assets annually. Participants in the LGIP have the right to withdraw their funds in total on one day's notice. At December 31, 2024 and 2023 the fair value of the Utility's share of the LGIP's assets was substantially equal to the carrying value. Generally, credit risk is the risk that an issuer of an investment will not fulfill its obligation to the holder of the investment. This is measured by the assignment of a rating by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Wisconsin statutes limit investments in securities to the top two ratings assigned by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. The Utility does not have an additional credit risk policy. The Utility's investment in the Wisconsin Local Government Investment Pool is not rated. 29 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 The Utility does not have a formal investment policy that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates.

PENSION PLAN Plan Description The WRS is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit pension plan. WRS benefits and other plan provisions are established by Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Benefit terms may only be modified by the legislature. The retirement system is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF). The system provides coverage to all eligible State of Wisconsin, local government and other public employees. All employees, initially employed by a participating WRS employer on or after July 1, 2011, and expected to work at least 1200 hours a year and expected to be employed for at least one year from employee's date of hire are eligible to participate in the WRS. ETF issues a standalone Annual Comprehensive Financial Report, which can be found at https://etf.wi.gov/about-etf/reports-and-studies/financial-reports-and-statements Additionally, ETF issued a stand alone Wisconsin Retirement System Financial Report, which can be found using the link above. 34 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Vesting For employees beginning participation on or after January 1, 1990 and no longer actively employed on or after April 24, 1998, creditable service in each of five years is required for eligibility for a retirement annuity. Participants employed prior to 1990 and on or after April 24, 1998, and prior to July 1, 2011, are immediately vested. Participants who initially became WRS eligible on or after July 1, 2011, must have five years of creditable service to be vested. Benefits Provided Employees who retire at or after age 65 (54 for protective occupation employees, 62 for elected officials and executive service retirement participants, if hired on or before 12/31/2016) are entitled to retirement benefit based on a formula factor, their average earnings and creditable service. Final average earnings is the average of the participant's three highest annual earnings period. Creditable service includes current service and prior service for which a participant received earnings and made contributions as required. Creditable service also includes creditable military service. The retirement benefit will be calculated as a money purchase benefit based on the employee's contributions plus matching employer's contributions, with interest, if that benefit is higher than the formula benefit. Vested participants may retire at age 55 (50 for protective occupations) and receive an actuarially reduced benefit. Participants terminating covered employment prior to before becoming eligible for a retirement benefit may withdraw their contributions and forfeit all rights to any subsequent benefits. The WRS also provides death and disability benefits for employees. Post-Retirement Adjustments The Employee Trust Funds Board may periodically adjust annuity payments from the retirement system based on annual investment performance in accordance with s. 40.27, Wis. Stat. An increase (or decrease) in annuity payments may result when investment gains (losses), together with other actuarial experience factors, create a surplus (shortfall) in the reserves, as determined by the system's consulting actuary. Annuity increases are not based on cost of living or other similar factors. For Core annuities, decreases may be applied only to previously granted increases. By law, Core annuities cannot be reduced to an amount below the original, guaranteed amount (the “floor”) set at retirement. The Core and Variable annuity adjustments granted during recent years are as follows: Year Core Fund Adjustment % Variable Fund Adjustment % 2014 4.70 25.00 2015 2.90 2.00 2016 0.50 (5,00) 2017 2.00 4.00 2018 2.40 17.00 2019 0.00 (10.00) 2020 1.70 21.00 2021 5.10 13.00 2022 7.40 15.00 2023 1.60 (21.00) 35 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Contributions Required contributions are determined by an annual actuarial valuation in accordance with Chapter 40 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The employee required contribution is one-half of the actuarially determined contribution rate for General category employees, including Teachers, Executives and Elected Officials. Starting on January 1, 2016, the Executives and Elected Officials category was merged into the General Employee category. Required contributions for protective employees are the same rate as general employees. Employers are required to contribute the remainder of the actuarially determined contribution rate. The employer may not pay the employee required contribution unless provided for by an existing collective bargaining agreement. WRS recognized $348,191 and $317,816 in contributions from the Utility for the current and prior reporting periods, respectively. Contribution rates for the reporting period are: 2024 2023 Employee Category Employee Employer Employee Employer General (Executives & Elected Officials) 6.80 % 6.80 % 6.50 % 6.50 % Protective with Social Security 6.80 13.20 6.50 12.00 Protective without Social Security 6.80 18.10 6.50 16.40 Pension Asset, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions At December 31, 2024, the Utility reported a liability (asset) of $389,100 for its proportionate share of the net pension liability (asset).

Actual adjustments are based on recognized investment return, actuarial experience and other factors. The percentages listed above are the assumed annual adjustment based on the investment return assumption and the post-retirement discount rate. Actuarial assumptions are based upon an experience study published in 2021 that covered a three-year period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2020. The total pension liability for December 31, 2023 is based upon a roll-forward of the liability calculated from the December 31, 2022 actuarial valuation. The total pension liability for December 31, 2022 is based upon a roll-forward of the liability calculated from the December 31, 2021 actuarial valuation. Long-Term Expected Return on Plan Assets The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block method in which best-estimate ranges of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan investment expense and inflation) are developed for each major asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class as of December 31, 2024 are summarized in the following table: Long-Term Long-Term Expected Expected Current Asset Nominal Rate Real Rate of Allocation % of Return % Return % Core Fund Asset Class Public equity 40 % 7.3 % 4.5 % Public fixed income 27 5.8 3.0 Inflation sensitive assets 19 4.4 1.7 Real estate 8 5.8 3.0 Private equity/debt 18 9.6 6.7 Leverage (12) 3.7 1.0 Total core fund 100 7.4 4.6 Variable Fund Asset Class U.S. equities 70 6.8 4.0 International equities 30 7.6 4.8 Total Variable Fund 100 7.3 4.5 38 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Asset Allocations are managed within established ranges; target percentages may differ from actual monthly allocations. New England Pension Consultants Long-Term U.S. CPI (Inflation) Forecast: 2.7%. The investment policy used for the Core Fund involves reducing equity exposure by leveraging lower-volatility assets, such as fixed income securities. Currently, an asset allocation target of 12% policy leverage is used subject to an allowable range of up to 20%. The target allocation and best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class as of December 31, 2023 are summarized in the following table: Long-Term Long-Term Expected Expected Current Asset Nominal Rate Real Rate of Allocation % of Return % Return % Core Fund Asset Class Public equity 48 % 7.6 % 5.0 % Fixed income 25 5.3 2.7 Inflation sensitive assets 19 3.6 1.1 Real estate 8 5.2 2.6 Private equity/debt 15 9.6 6.9 Total Core Fund 115 7.4 4.8 Variable Fund Asset Class U.S. equities 70 7.2 4.6 International equities 30 8.1 5.5 Total Variable Fund 100 7.7 5.1 Asset Allocations are managed within established ranges; target percentages may differ from actual monthly allocations New England Pension Consultants Long-Term U.S. CPI (Inflation) Forecast: 2.5% The investment policy used for the Core Fund involves reducing equity exposure by leveraging lower-volatility assets, such as fixed income securities. This results in an asset allocation beyond 100%. Currently, an asset allocation target of 15% policy leverage is used, subject to an allowable range of up to 20%. Single Discount Rate A single discount rate of 6.80% was used to measure the total pension liability as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, this discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.80% and a long term bond rate of 3.77%. As of December 31, 2022, the discount rate was based on the expected rate of return on pension plan investments of 6.80% and a long term bond rate of 4.05%. (Source: Fixed-income municipal bonds with 20 years to maturity that include only federally tax-exempt municipal bonds as reported in Fidelity Index's "20-year Municipal GO AA Index" as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In describing this index, Fidelity notes that the Municipal Curves are constructed using option-adjusted analytics of a diverse population of over 10,000 tax-exempt securities.) Because of the unique structure of WRS, the 6.80% expected rate of return implies that a dividend of approximately 1.7% will always be paid. For purposes of the single discount rate, it was assumed that the dividend would always be paid. The projection of cash flows used to determine this single discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution rate and that employer contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined contribution rates and the member rate. Based on these assumptions, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments (including expected dividends) of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability. 39 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Sensitivity of the Utility's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Asset to Changes in the Discount Rate The following presents the Utility's proportionate share of the net pension liability calculated using the discount rate of 6.80 percent, as well as what the Utility's proportionate share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1-percentage-point lower (5.80 percent) or 1-percentage-point higher (7.80 percent) than the current rate.

RISK MANAGEMENT The Utility is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to or destruction of assets; errors and omissions; workers compensation; and health care of its employees for which the government carries commercial insurance. The Utility along with the City completes an annual review of its insurance coverage to ensure adequate coverage. Liability Self-Insurance Fund During 1987, the City of Green Bay, along with the Utility as a department of the City, together with certain other units of government within the State of Wisconsin, created the Cities and Villages Mutual Insurance Company (CVMIC) to provide liability insurance services to its members under section 611.23 of the Wisconsin Statutes. The Utility, along with the City, is partially self-insured for liability insurance and pays premiums to CVMIC for its excess liability insurance coverage. The actuary for CVMIC determines premium charges to its members who are required to pay the expected claims and loss adjustment expenses. CVMIC's ongoing operational expenses, other than loss adjustment expenses, are apportioned pro rata to each member. CVMIC provides general liability, police and nurses professional liability, public official's liability, vehicle liability and excess liability coverage for the Utility and the City up to $2,000,000. The Utility's self-insured retention limit is $250,000 for any one occurrence, $1,000,000 retention aggregate per year. The City and Utility also carry excess insurance, which covers up to $5,000,000 per occurrence above CVMIC limit and $15,000,000 aggregate for all members. Premiums paid by the Utility to CVMIC are expensed over the term of the policy coverage period. A separate financial report is issued annually by CVMIC. Claims liabilities of $337,050 at December 31, 2024 and $1,150,020 at December 31, 2023 were reported in the City of Green Bay's liability self-insurance internal service fund based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Funding is provided by charges to the Utility, the City, employees and retirees. Retirees are billed monthly premiums for health and dental benefits. Through December 31, 2012, retirees were allowed to pay the same premium as active employees. Effective January 1, 2013, a ten year plan was approved by the City Common Council, whereby, retirees' premiums will increase with medical inflation plus an average of 6.6% annually and accumulating over the ten year period to place their rate more in line with costs incurred by the retiree group. The program is supplemented by stop loss protection, which limits the Utility's and City's annual liability. The 2024 and 2023 stop loss limits are $300,000 and $300,000, respectively, per specific claim plus an additional risk corridor of $65,000. Fund expenses consist of payments to consultants and administrators, medical and dental claims, and stop loss insurance premiums. 41 WATER UTILITY City of Green Bay, Wisconsin NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2024 and 2023 Claims liabilities of $981,447 at December 31, 2024 and $863,709 at December 31, 2023 were reported in the City of Green Bay's health and dental self-insurance internal service fund based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
