Executive Committee Narrative, September 9, 2021
Item 4:
We plan to have a proposed budget in hand by 4pm on Thursday.
We usually have 3 additional Executive Committee meetings in September, these may need to be
compressed due to the WCA meeting and the three weeks notice on the public hearing.
Item 5. The Judge and Clerk of Court will be present to report on staffing changes in the Public
Defenders Office. Staffing reductions have left our three-county region with 1 attorney, historically the
region has had four attorneys.
Item 6. Attached please find a DRAFT DNR Surface Water Grant focused on Artesian Well study and
development of wellhead protection ordinance. The Grant Requires an application authorization
resolution approving submittal and designating signatories.
Item 7. John Carlson has prepared the attached resolution for the issuance of $1.65 million in GO Bonds
for highway projects in Bayfield County in 2022. This requires County Board Action for issuance.
Item 8. The Birkie/Telemark group is applying for an EDA project at the former Telemark site as follows:
We’re seeking Federal funding, in the range of $5-7 million, to build a Nordic center (similar to the
Johnson Building on Hwy OO east of Seeley, if you’re familiar with that); a paved fitness trail for
rollerskiing, expanded snowmaking capabilities, an outdoor plaza, picnic, and fitness area, reroute a road
and install a pedestrian bridge, a biathlon range, parking, satellite ABSF offices, and a small retail
building for ski and bike rental and coffee, and possibly food. Some of these components will be
determined as we work through the plan and budget with our planning group.
The grant application requires that they have a local government support. We would NOT fund or hold
their funding to my knowledge, instead we would endorse their project application.
Mary Motiff noted that the Mt. Ashwabay Group is also considering applying for this same EDA grant,
details below.
Item 9. Earlier this year the county approved proceeding with the courthouse air handling system
upgrade. This project includes upgrading controls for the system. While we will not be able to begin
construction of our project until the Spring, we are proceeding with the controls upgrade. We have not
upgraded our controls over a decade. Upgrading before September 30 will entitle us to several
discounts. The cost of the upgrade is: $46k. While included in the overall HVAC project we wanted to
get authorization form the committee to proceed.
Item 10. Earlier this Summer the County Board approved an Aging Services Coordinator position using
ARPA funds. Originally the plan was to start this in 2022. The department has funding to start this in fall
of this year. Executive Committee approval is requested to proceed with this expenditure. This is not a
budget amendment as sufficient funds are anticipated within the existing budget, estimated expense is
$18k.
Item 11. The County has committed 75% of ARPA dollars at this time although some funds are subject to
grants (Broadband funds). There is currently approximately $700k remaining in the $2.93 million total.
Below please find a summary of several topics under discussion:
1. Emergency Services Command Vehicle / Trailer: The Sheriffs Committee, Emergency
Management and Public Health have discussed an approved the concept of an emergency trailer
at a cost of approximately $40k. At the last tribal county meeting the Tribe noted that they had
acquired an emergency response vehicle. We are having dialogues with them. Preliminary
conversations indicated a willingness to use this for countywide activities. I would recommend
we consider a 1 year MOU with the Tribe to see how this arrangement might work.
2. County Wide Senior Transportation, demand service to the door. The Transportation
Coordinating Committee has met many times over the past year to address transport issues for
seniors and others within Bayfield County. In the early Summer BART applied for a
transportation grant that would have paid for a demand service, to the door, anywhere in
Bayfield County to Bayfield or Ashland County addresses with 24 hours’ notice, subject to
availability. Unfortunately, this was not awarded. BART will be applying for other funding but a
local match of $25k would be required annually. I would recommend we set some funds aside
from this but also request that each municipality contribute as well ($500 each) with the county
paying the remainder. This could be a very valuable service for county residents.
3. At the last Executive Committee meeting the Committee heard a report from the Clerk of Court
regarding an office relocation that would improve safety at the courthouse. We are in the
process of planning for this now. An estimate of $200k is projected.
4. The Health Department is responding to a new round of COVID. They are gearing up for a fall of
increase testing, disease investigation (contact tracing) and vaccines. Additional staff is required
to accommodate this.
We have identified six positions (in addition to additional part timers for clinics). These include the
following four.
1. Clinic Registrar and Testing Site Coordinator, 22.5 hours a week
2. Clinic Registrar: 16 hours per week
3. Vaccine Scheduler, Contact Tracer, 37.5 hour per week
4. Mask Fit tester for health staff, up to 100 hours total.
We ask that $50,000 be set aside for these six positions through the end of the year.
Item 12.
The end of August Financial Report is attached.
• General Fund
o Revenues up $1 million over last year, attributed to Forestry, Clerk of Court, Health and
Sales Tax. At 77%, at the 66% mark.
o Expenses are at 64%, just below the 66% mark. Emergency Mgt (payout) and County
Admin (staff change) are above this percent.
• Human Services:
o Revenues: 66%
o Expenditures: 50%
• Highway:
o Revenues: 72%
o Expenditures: 54% (paving occurring in October).
• Treasurer’s Report, tax payments to schools and municipalities are out of the bank lowering
balances dramatically. We still have the highest balance ever. This is partially due to: $1.4
million ARPA and $1.65 million in unspent bonds for highway, occurring in October.
• Attached is a copy of the letter sent to the town of Delta Regarding the landfill project.

Section 4. Borrowed Money Fund; Debt Service Fund.
4.01 A The Series 2021 Borrowed Money Fund. There is hereby created a separate and special
fund designated as the Series 2021 Borrowed Money Fund (the “Borrowed Money Fund”), which shall be used
solely for payment of costs of constructing the Project. Proceeds of the Note shall be drawn and credited to the
Borrowed Money Fund. The monies in said fund may from time to time be invested as provided in Section 66.0603,
Wisconsin Statutes. Upon completion of such capital improvements as described in Section 1.02 hereof, and after
payment in full of all costs thereof, any balance on hand in the Borrowed Money Fund shall be credited to the Debt
Service Account.
B. Debt Service Fund. There is hereby established in the treasury of the County, if it has not already
been created, a debt service fund separate and distinct from every other fund (the “Debt Service Fund”), which shall
be maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Sinking funds established for
obligations previously issued by the County may be considered as separate and distinct accounts within the Debt
Service Fund. There shall be maintained in the Debt Service Fund a separate account, to be designated the Series
2021 Promissory Note Debt Service Account.
C. The Series 2021 Promissory Note Debt Service Account. To the Series 2021 Promissory Note
Debt Service Account (the “Debt Service Account”) there is hereby pledged and irrevocably appropriated and there

all investment earnings on funds in the Debt Service Account; (3) accrued interest, if any, received upon delivery
of the Note; (4) surplus monies in the Borrowed Money Fund as specified in Section 4.01A hereof; (5) funds
appropriated in Section 4.02A hereof in the amount of $10,687.42; and (6) any and all other monies which are
properly available and are appropriated by the County to the Debt Service Account including further deposits as
may be required by Section 67.11 of Wisconsin Statutes. The amount of any surplus remaining in the Debt Service
Account when the Note and interest thereon are paid shall be used to reduce the amount of taxes levied herein. No
money shall be withdrawn from the Debt Service Account and appropriated for any purpose other than the payment
of principal of and interest on the Note until all such principal and interest has been paid in full and cancelled;
provided (i) the funds to provide for each payment of principal of and interest on the Note prior to the scheduled
receipt of taxes from the next succeeding tax collection may be invested in direct obligations of the United States
of America maturing in time to make such payments when they are due; and (ii) any funds over and above the
amount of such principal and interest payments on the Note may be used to reduce the next succeeding tax levy, or
7
may, at the option of the County, be invested by purchasing the Note as permitted by and subject to Section
67.11(2)(a), Wisconsin Statutes, in interest bearing obligations of the United States of America, or in other
obligations of the County, which investments shall continue to be a part of the Debt Service Account. When all of
the Note has been paid in full and cancelled, and all permitted investments disposed of, any money remaining in
the Debt Service Account shall be deposited in the general fund of the County, unless the Board directs otherwise.

and interest payments when due; said tax is hereby levied in the year and in the amount shown on Exhibit A hereto,
which is incorporated by reference as though fully set forth herein.
B. The County shall be and continue to be without power to amend Sections 4.02A or repeal such levy
or obstruct the collection of said tax until all such payments have been made or provided for. After the issuance of
the Note, said tax shall be carried into the tax rolls of the County and collected as other taxes are collected.
4.03 Payment of Costs of Issuance. The County agrees to pay the costs of issuance of the Note as set
forth in the officers’ certificate on the Closing Date.
Section 5. Certificate of Proceedings.

6.01 A. The County hereby covenants not to use the proceeds of the Note, or to cause or permit

D. In order to qualify the Note as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” within the meaning of Section
265(b)(3) of the Code, the County hereby makes the following factual statements and representations:
(1) the Note is not a “private activity bond” as defined in Section 141 of the Code;
(2) the County hereby designates the Note as a “qualified tax-exempt obligation” for purposes
of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code;
(3) the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity
bonds, treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds as not being private activity bonds) which will be issued by the
County (and all entities whose obligations will be aggregated with those of the County) during the calendar
year in which the Note was issued will not exceed $10,000,000; and
(4) not more than $10,000,000 of obligations issued by the County during the calendar year in
which the Note was issued have been designated for the purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
E. The County shall use its best efforts to comply with any federal procedural requirements which
may apply in order to effectuate the designation made by this section.
Section 7. Post-Issuance Compliance Policy and Procedures. The Board has previously approved a
Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Policy and Post-Issuance Debt Compliance Procedures which shall apply to
qualifying obligations to provide for compliance with all applicable federal regulations for tax-exempt obligations
or tax-advantaged obligations (collectively, the “Policy and Procedures”). The Board hereby approves the Policy
and Procedures for the Note. The County Clerk continues to be designated to be responsible for post-issuance

Dear Chairperson Seeger, Supervisors Hagstrom, Michaelis and Clerk Dykstra:
It was one year ago that I wrote providing an update on the Delta Landfill restoration
project. I did not think it would take a year to provide a final determination on the project,
but here we are.
The Delta Landfill, located on the south side of County Highway H, about a ½ mile east of
the Delta Drummond Road, was operated for the Town of Delta residents for many years.
It was closed in 1990 and then as the result of unpaid taxes the property reverted to
Bayfield County in 1998. At that time and today, the town retained environmental cleanup
responsibility.
In June of 2018 a 12” rain inundated the site and caused the failure of the landfill site.
Since that time Bayfield County Forestry, Land Records and Highway Departments have
invested hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars in temporary restoration,
planning, research and coordination.
During this entire time Forestry and Land Conservation has worked with FEMA, the
Wisconsin Department of Agriculture and DNR to develop repair plans for the site. These
efforts have paid off.
The State of Wisconsin and FEMA approved funding of 87.5% of a “basic” ($400k)
restoration project. After careful review Bayfield County petitioned FEMA to consider an
"enhanced" restoration project to prevent this from washing away again in the future.
Jason Bodine with the Forestry Department has just received word that the enhanced plan
was approved!
This means that 87.5% of the cost (estimated at $600,000) will be covered by FEMA. The
remaining 12.5% (approximately $75,000) must be covered locally however.
We request that the Town split the cost of the local share with the county, each paying
approximately $37,500. We recognize that the Town may still be financially stressed from
the damage caused by the June 2018 floods. We are willing to accept payment over a
period of two years if this helps.
I have attached the following background materials:
1. Landfill closure agreement between Town of Delta and State of Wisconsin.
2. State Statutes 289.46, 289.41 and 144.441(2)( c) 1.
Statutes relate to owner responsibility for long term care of an approved facility.
Responsibility does not terminate, except that if another person acquires the rights of the
owners and the new operating license is transferred. As the county has never been issued a
license for this facility, the town retains responsibility.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Mark Abeles-Allison
County Administrator
