RECOMMENDED ACTION FOR CONSENT AGENDA
Motion to approve the Consent Agenda as presented
Summary: Brian Conjurski, applicant for the Cool City Motel requests a Facade Improvement Grant not to exceed $13,272 for replacing 28 exterior doors on the property. The Conjurskis acquired the property in 2025 and are making considerable improvements to guest rooms and common areas in anticipation of the 2026 summer season. Funds for this grant will come from TID #11 (St. Peter the Fisherman/Vinton Construction Redevelopment) because the property is within a half-mile of the boundaries, as state statute allows.
Recommended Action:
Motion to approve the application and award the grant as recommended by City Staff
Summary: The City currently operates 12 Tax Increment Financing districts. While many have exceeded the development and financial expectations originally established, several districts have not experienced the level of growth that was anticipated at the time of their creation. Following a financial review of TID performance, City Hall recommends the early termination of TID No. 13.
Upon approval of the proposed resolution, the City will submit the required notice to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue by April 15. Terminating this district will return the increment value within the district back to the regular tax rolls, allowing the associated property tax revenues to flow to the City’s General Fund beginning January 1, 2027. In addition to the City, other taxing jurisdictions, including Manitowoc County, the Two Rivers Public School District, and Lakeshore Technical College, will also begin receiving their proportional share of property tax revenues from these properties in 2027. Staff will continue monitoring the performance of other City TIF districts and additional districts may be recommended for early termination in the future if anticipated development progress does not occur.
Recommended Action:
Motion to waive reading and adopt the resolution
Summary: Similar to the Resolution in agenda item 9B, this proposed Resolution will authorize the early termination of TID No. 16, allowing the increment value to return to the regular property tax roles starting in January 1, 2027. Doing so will result in an increase in revenue for not just the City, but also Manitowoc County, the Two Rivers School District, and Lakeshore Technical College.
Recommended Action:
Motion to waive reading and adopt the resolution
