May 13, Executive Committee Narrative
Item 4: Bayfield County has several tower / land leases to cell companies, these include Sprint/T-Mobile
and Verizon in Washburn, Port Wing and Barnes. We regularly have companies call us about buying out
our leases.
The offers are for extended periods of time, ie: 25 years and promises one-time 44payments of
hundreds of thousands of dollars. They represent a fraction, between 25-50% of what the county would
have received over the term of the lease.
I speak twice a year to one individual Jeremy Towns with Landmark, a nationwide leasing company. He
will speak briefly about their proposal.
I am generally NOT in favor of these agreements however there are some advantages I wanted to share
for consideration:
• The onetime payment lease companies would make to us final. The agreements we have with
cell companies are long term (25 years), BUT, they are for structured so that the agreements
renew each five years. That means there is a possibility that a company could end an agreement
before the end of the lease. In general, I don’t think this is very possible as the companies have
made a large investment in cell infrastructure and they rely on the towers to provide the service.
In our area there are not a lot of towers. This is a risk issue.
• Increasingly cell companies are contacting us to renegotiate our agreements / lower their fees,
etc. By selling to a leasing company we forego that risk and the leasing company has more clout
than we do as they control hundreds of sites and leases.
Jeremy presents this in an informative and educational manner. I have asked him to share a brief
summary of their program.
Current County monthly rent ($3208) Landmark Proposal
• 12 months = $38,496
• 60 months = $192,480
• 180 months = $577,440 $289,310 (50%) / 90 months
• 284 months = $962,400 $338,099 (35%) / 105 months
• 420 months = $1,347,360 $375,252 (27%) / 117 months
This is our largest lease, We have three leases in Port Wing and one land lease in Barnes.
Item 5: We are anticipating American Recovery Project clarification and potential receipt of funds for
Bayfield County this coming week. We continue to gather information on a variety of projects.
Estimated funding in 2021 is $1.5 million. Four individuals will provide brief summaries of projects that
could qualify for funding. Funding does not have to be spent until end of 2024.
• Broadband: Funding is specifically allowed for broadband. Attached is a summary of several
projects in BC that Norvado has proposed for partial funding that could make our projects look
more favorable. Attached please find three potential project summaries that Chad Young
prepared. Chad (Norvado CEO) will appear remotely for the meeting.
• Sewer: Funding is specifically allowed for Sewer. Washburn Ironworks is working with the City
of Washburn for a major city sewer relocation project ($300k) to expand their business. Taylor
Pearson will appear remotely for the meeting and provide a brief summary.
• Bayfield County Information Technology: Several major upgrades are tentatively planned for
2022. A SAN (storage) unit and a full backup solution. Paul Houck will share a brief summary.
• Bayfield County HVAC: The main county hallway and the annex / health wing need improved air
handling. Craig Parks will review these needs and summarize the two areas. Estimated costs,
$550k.
Item 6: Northwest Regional Planning passed the attached resolution asking for legislative recognition of
their government status and make an ask for tax exempt status. NWRPC is asking for county support.
Item 7: Budget season is upon us. The annual budget survey is out. Results will be tabulated for the
upcoming County Board Planning Session on May 25. We are assembling supporting documentation
and will have that ready in advance of the county board meeting. Our three largest departments are
preparing brief overviews to present in person. The purpose of the meeting is to provide a backdrop to
the upcoming budget year and make recommendations on general directions by the Board of
Supervisors.
Item 8: The Clerk’s Office has found several errors in ordinance numbering (Title and Chapter). They are
preparing an updated ordinance that will make these corrections. These do not involve content
changes, only numbering. We hope to have a comprehensive summary before the Exec Meeting to
recommend onto the full county board in May.
Item 9: In 2019 Bayfield County applied for but did not received federal funding for County Highway A
and N connecting US Highway 2 and Highway 27 with all season road status to support our forest
industry. The program was just announced for 2021 with applications due July 12. Detailed information
is available here. RAISE Discretionary Grants | US Department of Transportation Attached is resolution
with Bayfield County making a commitment of $2.5 million for the 16+ mile project. Key advantages of
the project:
• Creating a 22 mile all season road, US 2 in Iron River, South to Barnes and West to State
Highway 27.
The project is currently scheduled for construction in 2025/2026 per the highway 5-year plan.
Item 10. Attached in the packet are resolutions from last year. I would like to discuss which resolution
we should recommend again and new resolutions. So far, the following topics have been
recommended, several of these are in the packet. The committee could recommend these onto the full
board for consideration.
• CAFO resolution update
• Medicaid Resolution update
• CWD Research advocacy
• CWD Regulation
Item 11: At the upcoming County Board meeting there will be a Comprehensive Planning Hearing. This
is to update our existing plan until we complete an more exhaustive review in 2022 and 2023. Details
here: https://doa.wi.gov/Pages/LocalGovtsGrants/Comprehensive-Planning.aspx As we prepare for
should consider possible focus areas for the county. The nine essential topics of a comp plan are:
• Issues and Opportunities
• Housing
• Transportation
• Utilities and Community Facilities
• Agricultural, Natural and Cultural Resources
• Economic Development
• Intergovernmental Cooperation
• Land Use
• Implementation
Are there other topics that we think should be included?
Do we want to focus more attention / time on any of these specific topics?
Here is a link to the current Bayfield County Planning site. County and municipal plans and maps are
located here.
Item 12. Reports:
• The April Financial Report is in the packet. Overall expenditures are in line.
• Contingency report, amount available, amount spent. We will have this in every Exec Agenda
Report from now on.
• Treasurer’s report. Balances still strong, above previous years.
• Delta Landfill, Jason reported that: FEMA is now in the compliance consultation phase, which
taps into the State Historical Preservation Office, USFWS, Tribal Nations, etc. checking for
historical significance or T/E species. This the last step in the review process. Estimated
timeline, 30 to 60 days.
• We held a Virtual Superior Days with 5 legislators this week. Fred and Jeff together with myself,
Clark from Ashland and Dick Pufall joined for five 30-minute issue reviews. The meetings went
well and were well received. Copies of the booklets are in your mailboxes.

NORVADO LETTER
Mark,
I apologize for not getting this information to you yesterday but we needed to have our engineering
team look at potential opportunities to expand our fiber infrastructure which we subsequently discussed
in a meeting today with my leadership team at Norvado.
We’ve had interest from a number of the counties where we provide service in how we might be able to
expand our fiber footprint utilizing the stimulus funding which has been made available. Due to having
deployed fiber throughout our incumbent (ILEC) serving area where we receive regulatory
support/recovery the areas that we are now considering have a much more challenging business
case. Having that said, with funding from the county, state, or federal programs that are being quickly
rolled-out, we believe there are projects that may be viable with the appropriate level of support. Much
of our capital resources are devoted towards building fiber over the next two years in the Price County
exchanges we acquired in 2019, however, should we receive grants/funding from the county and/or
state we believe we can pursue bringing fiber to pockets that are currently unserved or underserved.
Having that said, Norvado is having discussions with Bayfield County, Douglas County, Price County, and
Sawyer County at this time.
Within Bayfield County, the following projects appear to be viable with a combination of county
(stimulus) and state (Broadband Expansion Grant Program) support. Any support pledged by the county
would not be utilized unless the State Broadband Expansion Grant application is approved. Typically,
Broadband Expansion Grants have had good success when local/county support is expressed within the
application.
Lower Eau Claire Lake
This project would be contiguous to our existing service area and would serve 219 locations (37 in
Bayfield County, 181 in Douglas County). Total project cost is estimated to be $1.4M (this would be
more detailed/accurate should we submit a Broadband Expansion Grant Program application for this
project).
To be successful, we would be seeking 10-15% of the total project cost from the impacted
counties. Norvado would be looking for Bayfield County to fund 1.7%-2.55% or approximately $23,800-
$35,700 of this project.
The following is a map showing the proposed build area:
South Washburn (To be submitted to the Broadband Expansion Grant Program in 2 parts)
Area #1
This project would serve 262 locations within Bayfield County. Total project cost is estimate to be
$1.2M.
To be successful, we would be seeking 10-15% of the total project cost from Bayfield County. This
translates to $150,000-$180,000.
The following is a map showing the proposed build area:
Area #2
This project would serve 210 locations within Bayfield County and is contiguous to Norvado’s current
ILEC serving area. Total project cost is estimated to be $1.2M.
To be successful, we would be seeking 10-15% of the total project cost from Bayfield County. This
translates to $150,000-$180,000.
The following is a map showing the proposed build area:
Please let me know if the county would be interested in pursuing any of the three above proposed
projects. Should the county wish to pursue any of these projects we would developed the detailed
engineering to more accurately determine cost and would look for the county to pledge the funds and
provide a letter of support for the initiative. I would be more than happy to discuss further or meet
with you at your convenience.
Should you have any comments or questions I may address in the meantime, please do not hesitate to
let me know.
Thank you,
Adding a Specific Reference in Wis. Stat. §70.11(2) to
Property Owned by Regional Planning Commissions
as Exempt from Real Property Taxes
WHEREAS, Regional Planning Commissions are created pursuant to Wis. Stat. § 66.0309 by

WHEREAS, all Real Property, including Real Property owned by Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commissions, is subject to the application of Wis. Stat. § 70.11 for the purpose of obtaining

communities, such as joint water authorities created under § 66.0823, but not specifically
planning commissions created under § 66.0309, ambiguity exists as to whether or not planning
commissions qualify for exemption under § 70.11(2); and,
WHEREAS, Regional Planning Commissions are created by local units of government and its
assets are constructively assets of those local units of government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
assembled this 25th day of May 2021, to rectify the existing ambiguity in Wis. Stat. 70.11(2) the
following language be added to specifically include Regional Planning Commissions as an
additional exemption under this statute: “regional planning commissions created under Wis.
Stat. 66.0309”; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bayfield County strongly encourages and supports the
State Legislature in amending Wis. Stat. § 70.11(2) to include a specific reference of Regional
Planning Commissions as exempt entities for the purpose of real property taxation; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Wisconsin
Counties Association, Senator Bewley, Representative Meyers, and the other members of the
Northwest Regional Planning Commission.

Support Medicaid Expansion
WHEREAS, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) established a program of Medicaid expansion,
whereby in exchange for increased federal matching funds, states could elect to expand the
number of individuals covered under state administered Medicaid programs, but historically the
state of Wisconsin has declined Medicaid expansion funds; and,
WHEREAS, expansion of Medicaid in Wisconsin would increase the eligibility income level
from 100% of federal poverty level ($12,880 for a household of one and $26,500 for a household
of four) to 138% federal poverty level ($17,774 for household of one and $36,570 for a
household of four); and,
WHEREAS, Wisconsin’s population is aging and more seniors will require care and services in
the future; and,
WHEREAS, current state estimates indicate another 90,000 individuals including some seniors
on fixed incomes in Wisconsin will qualify for Medicaid if expanded; and,
WHEREAS, expansion of Medicaid would improve the health, wellbeing, and productivity of
thousands of residents in the areas of preventive services, prenatal care, opioid and other drug
treatment, behavior health, crisis intervention, lead poisoning, treatment of chronic disease,
dental health, and support for the elderly and people with disabilities thus providing for a
healthier population and more productive workforce; and,
WHEREAS, Medicaid expansion is included in the Governor’s 2021-2023 budget and is
anticipated to increase the state’s revenues by approximately $1 billion during the biennium;
and,
WHEREAS, Medicaid expansion dollars will be used to expand healthcare services in the areas
of healthcare equity, behavior health, public health, and long-term care.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
assembled this 25th day of May 2021, request that Wisconsin Counties Association support the
expansion of Medicaid and consider adoption of this resolution as part of their policy platform.

Conduct Additional Research on Chronic Wasting Disease to Improve
Testing, Treatment, and Management Options
WHEREAS, Chronic Wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease of cervids which threatens to
cause significant economic, cultural and ecological damage to Wisconsin’s deer and elk populations, and
WHEREAS, a better understanding of CWD is needed to develop better management tools, and
WHEREAS, current funding and research levels are not commensurate to the threat posed by CWD, and
WHEREAS, since the discovery of CWD in Wisconsin in 2001 it is now found in wild deer in 33 counties
and has been found in over 25 captive cervid farms, and
WHEREAS, in the most highly infected areas of Dane and Iowa counties the prevalence rate in adult
males is about 50% and in adult females is about 35%, and
WHEREAS, the Wisconsin Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control, and the World Health
Organization all recommend that cervid meat only be eaten after the animal harvested has tested
negative for CWD, and
WHEREAS, in 2020 over 800,000 gun and archery deer hunting licenses were sold in Wisconsin, and
WHEREAS, according to a study, hunters in Wisconsin spent $2.5 billion in 2011. Eighty-eight percent of
the hunters in Wisconsin participated in deer hunting, making it the most popular form of hunting in the
state, and
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors assembled this xx Day of
xxx 2021, recommends that the Wisconsin Counties Association urge the State Legislature to fund and
direct state agencies to conduct the following research and in order to better manage CWD:
• Develop a reliable, rapid, and easy to administer CWD test that can be conducted on live cervids.
• Develop a reliable, rapid, and easy to administer CWD test that can be implemented in the field
on harvested cervids that will provide immediate test results.
• Develop a vaccine for CWD.
• Develop a cure for CWD infected cervids.
• Breed inheritable resistance to CWD in captive cervids such that the cervids do not carry or shed
CWD prions.
• Determine CWD prion longevity and virulence in contaminated soil, feed, and crops under a
wide range of environmental conditions.
• Develop a better understanding of CWD prion movement in the environment once outside of
cervids
• Expand monitoring of wild cervids in CWD endemic zones to better understand the effect of
CWD on cervid populations.
• Conduct epidemiological assessment of CWD prions on human health including whether
humans are already carriers of CWD prions, the likelihood of CWD prions infecting humans and
causing disease, and the impact of eating CWD positive cervids.
• Conduct additional research to determine the viability and methodology for composting CWD
infected cervids.

Enact Stronger Regulations to Limit the Spread of Chronic Wasting
Disease
WHEREAS, Chronic Wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurological disease of cervids which threatens to
cause significant economic, cultural and ecological damage to Wisconsin’s deer and elk populations, and
WHEREAS, since its discovery in Wisconsin in a deer harvested in 2001 it has now spread to wild deer in
33 counties and has been found in over 25 captive cervid farms, and
WHEREAS, in the most highly infected areas of Dane and Iowa counties the prevalence rate in adult
males is about 50 percent and in adult females is about 35 percent, and
WHEREAS, the Wisconsin Department of Health, the Center for Disease Control, and the World Health
Organization all recommend that cervid meat only be eaten after the animal harvested has tested
negative for CWD, and
WHEREAS, in 2020 over 800,000 gun and archery deer hunting licenses were sold in Wisconsin, and
WHEREAS, according to a study, hunters in Wisconsin spent $2.5 billion in 2011. Eighty-eight percent of
the hunters in Wisconsin participated in deer hunting, making it the most popular form of hunting in the
state, and
WHEREAS, with no known cure or preventative vaccine, the only option currently available to manage
CWD is to aggressively limit the transmission and spread of CWD, and
WHEREAS, current regulations do not adequately limit the human assisted transmission of CWD.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors assembled this xx Day of
xxx 2021, recommends that the Wisconsin Counties Association urge the State Legislature to make the
following changes to State Statutes and supporting Administrative Rules:
• Change ATCP 10.56(1) to eliminate the exceptions that allow the transport of live cervids
without a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection.
• Change NR 10.105(7) to prohibit the export of cervid carcasses which have any part of the spinal
column or head attached from CWD affected areas in which wild or captive cervids have tested
positive for CWD within the last 10 years.
• Enact new rules to require the disposal of harvested cervids carcasses in approve landfills,
rendering, or composting facilities.
• Enact new rules to prohibit the export of live cervids from areas within 10 miles of a known
positive CWD detection within the last 5 years.
• Enact new rules to require all captive cervid operation to install either solid perimeter or double
fencing.
• Once a reliable live animal CWD test has been develop, enact rules to prohibit the transport of
live cervids unless the animal tests negative of CWD.
