City of Verona In brief rezoning of land along
Half Mile Road that had
been previously purchased

$6 million for cell manufacturer

CDI deal could be paid off in
less than a decade
JIM FEROLIE
Verona Press editor
Verona taxpayers will spend up to
$6 million to bring a human cell man-
ufacturer to the Verona Technology
Park under a deal approved Monday.
The developer agreement, which
actually is with Live Cell, a subsidiary
of landowner Livesey Co., requires
$40 million or more to be spent on the
133,700-square-foot building, and if
the cost is less, the citys obligations
will be reduced proportionately.
The pay-as-you-go tax-increment
financing agreement is similar to the
one made for Epics first garage and
several other projects around the city.
The deal amounts to a rebate of
about 80 percent of taxes paid for as
many as 20 years, though projections
from the citys financial adviser put
the payoff time at nine years, with an
expected increment the increased
total tax payment of just over $1
million. The exact length of time will
depend on the assessment of the facil-
ity, which could be far less than $40
million.
Typically, manufacturing facili-
ties receive a huge exemption for the
equipment and any special outfitting
of a building for such equipment or
processes. For example, the $9 mil-
lion Wisconsin Brewing Company
plant just northwest of this new build-
ing was assessed at less than $3 mil-
lion. However, its likely that much
of CDIs equipment is being moved
from its Research Park facility.
City attorney Bryan Kleinmayer
noted in his presentation to the coun-
cil that the facility could also cost
well more than $40 million to build.
The singularly successful Epic TIF
deal in 2002 was a projected $45 mil-
lion project, and it was structured to
pay up to $18 million, half in a pay-
as-you-go for the first garage and the
other half for road improvements.
TIF is a public financing method
that captures increased tax payments
from all underlying jurisdictions
(school district, city, county, techni-
cal college and state) on projects that
would not have existed but for the
payment. It can be used as a subsidy
for development or to increase the
competitiveness of a municipality or
an area within a municipality.
Kleinmayer pointed out that one
unusual feature of the developer
agreement is a release of funds ear-
lier than usual. Normally, the city
begins paying its paygo TIF obli-
gations when the facility opens, but

commissioning process and explained

assessed at a fraction of its ultimate
value, will allow the building to open

schools during Janesville manhunt VERONA, WI 608-845-9700

SCOTT GIRARD
Unified Newspaper Group
As the manhunt for a
Janesville man who robbed
a gun shop last week con-
tinued early this week, the
Verona Area School District
was taking extra precautions.
VASD sent an email to
parents Monday letting them
know the Fitchburg and
Verona police departments
have assigned additional
police patrols near our school
as a precautionary measure.
At this time, there is no
indication of any threat to
the Verona Area School Dis-
trict or our communities, the
email said.
Janesville resident Joseph
Jakubowski, 32, has been
running from authori-
ties since April 4, when
he allegedly robbed the
Armageddon Gun Shop in
Janesville and took a large
quantity of handguns and
rifles, according to a Rock
County Sheriffs office news
release. The man also sent
a long manifesto to Pres-
ident Donald Trump and
made threats in the past to
steal guns and use them at
an unspecified school
or against public officials,
according to the release.
The incident prompted
some schools, including
Janesville, to close for the
day Friday and take extra
precautions. The FBI is
offering a $10,000 reward for
information that leads to his
apprehension.
The email said the district
shared a photo of Jakubows-
ki with its office staff who

the day to ensure doors are

Klawiter shuts down Spartans

ANTHONY IOZZO
Assistant sports editor
There was no need for extra
innings Tuesday.
After winning 16- and 8-inning
games last week, the Verona base-
ball team took care of Madison
Memorial 3-0 at Stampfl Field.
Reagan Klawiter pitched six
strong innings, and the offense did
just enough to push Verona to 4-0
overall (3-0 Big Eight).
The pitching is really, really
good, coach Brad DOrazio said.
I am happy with that. We limit
the number of walks and play good
defense, so obviously that has been
key.
Tyler McClure tripled with one
out in the third to jump start the
offense, and he later scored on an
RBI fielders choice off the bat of
Connor McGowan (2-for-3).
McGowan later reached second
on a groundout, and John Coshun
brought him home with a single to
right field.
Verona made it 3-0 in the fourth
with an RBI groundout by Noah
Anderson to score Jared Grassman,
who reached on an error.
I thought we are putting some
good swings on the ball and putting
it in play and seeing what happens,
DOrazio said. They have been
mentally tough in a lot of these

Cats win W/TFA indoor title Mitchell keeps busy at W/TFA
Verona scores 27 points at
Whitewater
JEREMY JONES
Sports editor
With each passing week, the Verona
boys track and field team looks more
capable of doing something special this
season. Coming off the first Madison
West Relay championship in school his-
tory April 8, the Wildcats claimed their
first Wisconsin Track Federation state
indoor title Saturday at UW-Whitewater.
We are off to a very strong start. Even
the legendary 1999 boys track and field
team that won Veronas first ever WIAA
D1 title was not able to win these two
meets, coach Joff Pedretti wrote in an
email to the Press. Both Kimberly and
Fond du Lac are two teams I predict will
finish in the top five at the state champi-
onships, so finishing ahead of them real-
ly helps in building confidence.
Pedretti acknowledged that Kimberly
is a stronger team outdoors than indoors,
due to the points they can pick up in the
discus and 300 hurdles, so even though
Verona beat that team twice, the team
isnt taking it for granted.
We need to keep working hard in
order to come out on top against them at
state, Pedretti said.
Senior Jack Herkert earned MVP hon-
ors of the meet, single-handedly out-
scoring all but six of the 36 schools that
competed in the meet.
The Stanford recruit earned 27 points
with a high jump victory and top-six
finishes in hurdles, long jump and triple
jump.
Jack is an incredible athlete. Ive
been involved with the program as an
athlete or coach for 24 years now, and I
can easily say he is one of the best Wild-
cat track and field athletes of all-time,
Pedretti said. What is impressive about
him is how he is able to compete at such
a high level in so many different events.
His consistency comes from years to
hard work, focus and coach-ability.
Herkert, the Division 1 state champi-
on in high jump, was never threatened
in that event last week, clearing 6 feet, 6
inches three inches above second-place
Branden Endlich of Green Bay Preble.
Teammate JT Hawkins made it over 6
feet for fifth place, as the two combined
for 14 points.
Herkert (7.8) and Jared Biddle (8.55)
racked up 10 more points for Verona in
the high hurdles. Fourth and fifth after
the prelims, both seniors turned it on in
the semifinals and finals to finish second
and seventh.
Herkert also moved up the all-time list
in the long jump with a 21-11, besting
his previous season-best by three inches.
The effort was good for third place and

Referendum: Staff prepared for continued school crowding until new building opens
Continued from page 1
three years as administrators and
the board must now shift their
focus to a long list of items to
consider on the way to building
a new high school drawing new
boundaries, building an entry road
to the site, creating a design team,
determining debt structure, sort-
ing out transportation and more,
said superintendent Dean Gorrell.
It just goes on and on and on
and on, Gorrell said.
But he said that the work would
be worth it, especially as he
thinks of the long-term impact the
new high school will have.
Its both really daunting and
exhilarating at the same time, he
said. This will (last for) gener-
ations. A lot of short-term work
and not all of its going to be fun,
for a very, very long-term project
that Im not going to be around
to see the end of. Thats a cool
thought right there.
More will be invested toward
that payoff than officials time,
of course, as district residents
will be paying higher taxes into
the foreseeable future to fund the
construction and operations an
increase next year of 79 cents
per $1,000 of property value for
the next three years and then an
additional 58 cents per $1,000 of
value beginning in 2020.
But the real cost of the project
is around $3 per $1,000, accord-
ing to the districts estimates
or $600 on a $200,000 home.
Without the referendum, the tax
rate would have dropped by more
than $2 next year with the closure
of the Epic tax increment financ-
ing district. Gorrell said VASD
officials wanted to be clear about
the potential drop throughout the
process, and they had emphasized
that information at public out-
reach meetings last month.
That was difficult to explain,
he said. People really appre-
ciated the whole transparency
aspect.
The new school, along with
the pool and competition athletic
facilities approved in question 2,
is slated to open in 2020 on prop-
erty bordered by West Verona
Avenue and Hwy. 18-151. That
same fall, Badger Ridge Middle
School students will move into
the current high school space,
Sugar Creek Elementary School
will move into the BRMS build-
ing and the charter schools
are expected to move into the
K-Wing.
In the meantime, though,
schools will still have to contend
with some of the issues that drove
the district to the referendum in
the first place, including over-
crowding at places like Glacier
Edge Elementary School. Gorrell
said the districts staff would be up
for it, especially given the prover-
bial light at the end of the tunnel.
Theres that resiliency in that,
We can do this, period, he said.
And then when you add on, We
can do this, and its not forever,
that helps a lot.
Beres also said the next budget
would include ways for the board
to have the flexibility to respond
to hot spots of increased enroll-
ment over the next few years.
Gorrell said he expected the
design team for the new school
would be limited to people who
would use the buildings stu-
dents, teachers, etc. but that
there would be opportunities for
the community to review plans
and offer comments.
Outreach like that, which the
district and its consultants empha-
sized over the past few years, was
one of the reasons Beres had gone
into Tuesday with his cautious
optimism, but hes glad to have
the question settled.
Its the ultimate community
input, he said. Photo by Evan Halpop

acres of land, and the MSA

That plan left Alds. Eliz-

Jack Linder (D-2) concerned
the city could go through the
process of planning a pool
and not have a place to put it.
If we create a plan that
we dont have a site for, it

Doyle said.

or 50-year process, he said.
Weve done that in the past.
I can understand why people
might be hesitant, but you
have to figure out what size
you need before you can
figure out what space you
need.
Alders had asked at their
Jan. 30 committee-of-the-
whole meeting to begin this
study, but the Parks Com-
mission initially delayed it,
deciding that it wasnt worth
studying until the April 4
Verona Area School Dis-
trict referendum result was
known. Alders asked in late
February for it to be referred
back to them, anyway, and
Parks complied in mid-
March.
VASD is just beginning its
wake of the successful ref-
erendum, which authorized
$18 million for an aquatic/
athletic complex in addition
to the high school. Though
chatter about a shared facility
has swirled for months, there
has been no official discus-
sion of the possibility and no
public planning between the
two entities.
However, there are few
other areas centrally located
in Verona that could handle a
large aquatic center.
If things with the school
dont work out, were going
to have to somehow identify
where we can come up with
that amount of land to make
that happen, Walker told the
council Monday.
