EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE NARRATIVE, JULY 2022
Item 5: Jim Kelley and James Bolen will provide an update on the Northwoods Resort Project.
They may also make a request for earnest money funds ($50k). Attached in the packet are four
documents they shared about recent land acquisitions. BCEDC will meet to consider this on
Monday of this coming week. If approved no action by Executive is required. The Intro letter
from Cole in the packet summarizes the documents attached. Also please find a letter from
Linda Coleman, representing Northwoods Resort attached.
Item 6. Attached is a letter from Joe Schick with Mason Ambulance requesting financial
assistance from Bayfield County for an ambulance facility expansion. Dan Vaillancourt has
contacted the county several times as well regarding this. Their original request was for ARPA
dollars. Bayfield County has expended all of ours ARPA funding. We have connected the town
with some other potential sources of funding also.
Item 7. Bayfield County owns 10 acres of land adjacent to the Nursing Home. The Nursing
home recently completed a Needs Assessment. The County was waiting on that prior to
proceeding with potential development of the site for housing.
The City of Washburn has expressed interest in the site for housing development to help address
current shortages.
I am working on a draft RFP and will place it in the dropbox once complete. The importance of
getting this out now is that tax credits are applied for by developers in December, providing
adequate time to do this is important so that developers can prepare and submit applications by
then. Otherwise
Item 8. Bayfield County is scheduled to receive $348,803 of the $281 million distributed to
Wisconsin local units of government to be used for approved uses as listed in Appendix E
Attached.
WCA is asking for feedback on how counties wish to proceed as it relates to fund distribution.
Two options are proposed.
1. Up front, lump sum payment: Approximately 60% of total
2. Or annual payments over approximately 18 years totaling $348k.
The Health and Human Services committees have discussed this topic and feel that an annual
allotment would be good to keep regular focus on this issue. These department notes are
attached here.
The term “securitization” is being used regarding this concept as 18 years is a long time and
there is a chance funds might not be available down the road. Below, attached please find a
variety of information.
The County could use either method to schedule annual payments if we wish. The lump sum
could be distributed over a number of years, or the annual payments could be used incrementally
as well.
A webinar on this is being offered by WCA on Monday, July 11. Please see the highlighted link
and registration below.
Opioid Settlement Resources:
• Informational webinar through WCA: Monday, July 11, 1pm, Webinar Registration -

Flows_updated-2022-06-30_All-87.pdf (wicounties.org)
Item 9. Attached is a Clean Water Referendum being proposed for the November 8 election.
This is an advisory referendum the intent of which is to share how important clean water is to the
entire state and urge bi partisan action to protect and restore waters.
Item 10. Bayfield County has a 10,000 gallon underground fuel tank at the courthouse. This is
used for courthouse fleet and sheriff vehicles. The pedestal base used for controlling gasoline
disbursement is old and failing. We have contacted multiple providers and have settled on the
current provider used by the Highway Department, Walts Petroleum Service, Inc. The cost of
the replacement is $22,376.89 and includes materials, labor, software and complete installation
including electrical.
In evaluating this Craig, Lynn, Jeran, Dag and I considered a number of factors including current
old technology dependent on a functioning dot matrix printer in the basement necessary to clean
the memory, intermittent failures of the current system and overall physical deterioration of the
existing setup.
We also considered the future of gas located at the courthouse and the need in the next decade to
replace the existing underground tank.
As an emergency service provider having quick (no lines) and reliable access to fuel is important
for both the county and potentially municipalities in the event of a shortage or long-term power
outage impacting area fuel vendors.
Item 11: Budget 2023 is underway. Departments will submit final budgets by August 18. Here
are several topics under review on for county board and county admin departments and budgets
we oversee.
General Accounts:
• Considering bidding out Workers Comp Insurance: This has the potential to have all
county insurances with Wisconsin Counties Association providers. A 5% discount on
liability coverage ($7k) would be awarded if we were to do this. Workers’ comp is based
on set fees, but the risk management services are the major differences. We are planning
meetings to discuss their processes and procedures regarding case management.
• Including $30,000 for grant consulting in 2023
• Increasing County Highway Department Work for County to address additional county
department projects, ie: forestry roads, etc.
• County Bridge Aid: Move to Highway Department
• Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center: Currently funded at $9k, if we can’t use the
facility, would this change?
County Board Department:
• Youth Local Government Scholarship: Noone applied in 2022. Should we move to a
guaranteed award if you apply? Ie: $2000, 10 applicants, each receives $200. Max of
$500.
• Superior Days: Increase contribution level, currently $1500, change to $5000?
•
County Admin Department:
• No major changes proposed besides wage and 40-hour payroll changes
Business Park:
• Potential new business locates after Xcel leaves staging site
Copy Fund: No major changes
Fleet Fund:
• Gas Fuel Pump upgrade
• CNG Compressor upgrade
Animal Control:
• Increase in animal control response expenses as part of a new three-year contract, 2023-
2025
Item 12:
• ARPA projects moving ahead. We are updating this chart now, 0 funds left. Will review
status of the various projects.
• Sales Tax, up 8.8% for the year in comparison with last year, $60k
• June Financial and Treasurer Report review
o General fund at 50%
o HS: 37%
o Highway: 26%
o Treasurer: $31.1 million, up from $26.7 last year, includes second traunch of
ARPA.
• The first comprehensive planning meeting is scheduled for 10am on July 20. Northwest
Regional Planning will help lead the session.
• At the last Board meeting the EMS Advisory Committee received and placed on file the
Committee report. One of the topics of discussion was the topic of levy limit authority as
it relates to “county wide EMS”. There is an exemption in the state law allowing
counties to exceed the levy limit for “countywide” EMS. The County has no expertise
nor interest ( I believe) in running EMS. If however we could help EMS agencies secure
some additional funding to ensure they are both stable and self sufficient that may be
something to explore. In order to become a “countywide” service we must be approved
by DHS who forwards the recommendation / authorization to the Department of
Revenue. We are exploring this now. Last week Meagan shared the concept with the
EMS Council to ensure there was basic understanding and transparency.

Hello board members,
I am sending you documentation pertaining to a request for temporary funding from
BCEDC. The meeting agenda and other attachments will be sent out later on this. Because
of the nature of this request, I wanted to provide you with information about this particular
request so that you would have ample time to review. Please read and review all
documents as this is an action item to be voted on Monday July 11th.
To provide a brief summary: The Resorts of the Northwoods (RNW)- James Bolen and Jim
Kelly - is requesting $50,000 to help cover their earnest money expenses in the purchase of
the Telemark Golf Course property. If approved by the BCEDC board, this funding will go
into an escrow account held by the title company. If the sale were not to close, all funds
would be returned. (There is an attached letter by Attorney Coleman explaining this
situation.) They have proposed a repayment date of August 31st, 2022.
Attached for your review you will find:
- RNW request summary page
- Full project document provided for BCEDC Board review
- Letter from Linda Coleman, attorney - Spears, Carlson, & Coleman in Washburn, WI
- Signed sales agreement between RNW and Titus Family (Telemark Golf Course owners)
As you know this is a very large project that I have been assisting with. SBDC, NWRPC, and
BCEDC have spent countless hours discussing the project, options, and impact to the area.
This project would have a major impact on our county along with the surrounding areas.
Their overall project will not only bring additional visitors to Bayfield County, their vision
may also help with the limited housing supply crisis we are facing.
It is a very good opportunity for BCEDC to assist in a project and show additional value to
the county board without having a revolving loan fund to operate/control. We do
tremendous amounts of work helping to assist businesses in our county and a majority of
them are small businesses. We may not have many opportunities for large scale
development and this could be a great opportunity for our area.
Some questions that I personally had which others may also have are:
Why doesn't the county provide the funding?
It took a very long time for the Titus family to produce a clear title due to previous titling
during the original purchase. Now that the title has been cleared they were able to execute
the sales agreement and move forward with the sale. They found that the county would not
be able to produce the funds in a timely manner as the earnest money is due on 7/15/2022
and the full county board does not meet until the end of July.(I believe the 28th) It was
suggested by Mark AA and Brett Rondeau that RNW ask BCEDC if we would be able to assist
them considering it is a major economic development project for the county.
What effect will this have on our 501c6 status and our financials?
I did touch base with Ritch Setzke from Maitland, Singlar, VanVlack and he indicated that
the short term loan funding would not affect our 501c6 status. We would only need to
create a new line item in our statements.
Do we even have the money?
We would have the amount requested in reserves located in our savings account. The
beginning of 2022 showed a net asset of $99,623 with the anticipation of using $10,000 of
those assets toward our 2022 budget as the county did not fulfill our full budget request.
This provides us with a remaining balance of $89,623 in reserves in 2022.
What does BCEDC get out of the deal for taking the risk?
I have spoken with Ken Pearson at NWRPC to a great extent about this situation. I asked
about interest fees and it was suggested that there be an administrative fee included into
the documents. This will produce a guaranteed income on the loan and we won't have to
calculate the days that the loan is out. That fee can be up to the boards discretion but a
10% fee isn't far out of line due to the nature of the timeline of the request.
Does this mean we are starting a revolving loan fund that we have to produce for everyone?
NO. This is a special circumstance with the repayment being very short term. It is less than
a 60 day window so it will not effect our taxes/finances as it will be a quick turnaround. The
money will be dispersed and returned within the same quarter so it will have no ill effect
and not require special financial duties or auditing. We have no obligation to provide this
opportunity to other business ventures in the future.
Later on this week, I will be attempting to reach individuals to discuss the matter
since this is outside of any normal requests BCEDC has received in the recent past.
If you have free time and would like to call me instead of waiting for me to call you, please
do so, and I will hopefully be able to talk with you then. You can call me at 715-685-1210.
Thank you,

SUMMARY AND REQUEST
• The RNW project is the largest, most coordinated, and feasible development located in
Bayfield County on the former 495 acre Telemark Golf Course property
• The RNW project is poised to raise Bayfield County and the region to its rightful place as
one of the top tourism and recreation destinations in the county.
• RNW has put in over two-years of due diligence and legal agreements to free up the land,
ensure clear titles, and build its existing general partnership structures
o Without a clear title to the former Telemark Golf Course property, no general
partner would agree to the purchase or to inject capital into the development
o Having a clear title is the reason for the project’s acceleration to a signed purchase
agreement—something that has never been accomplished until now
o Where other developments have failed, RNW has been able to successfully
navigate the title issues that have long plagued the Telemark area and built a strong
partnership with ABSF and adjacent landowners along the way
o RNW is the best suited, strongest vetted, and strategically sound company to take
interest in this portion of Bayfield County
• With all the development near Cable regarding silent sports, recreational activities, and
outdoor interest, RNW is the centrally located and operated entity that will market and
deliver on all the expectations sophisticated travelers have toward this part of the nation
and world
• The partnership between the ABSF and RNW will only magnify the areas ability to
become the economic and tourism generator for Bayfield County and the surrounding
region
• Cable and the surrounding area in general have been a growing small business economic
force within the last five-years, including adding a coffee shop, high end eateries, and an
emerging Main Street—RNW will be the capstone project that will enhance all the local
efforts in the community and strengthen the economic base for the local small businesses
• A TIF district has already been approved by the State which includes the identified
property
• Resorts of the Northwoods, LLC (RNW) is seeking from the Bayfield County Economic
Development Corporation (BCEDC) a fully refundable, repaid at closing earnest money
injection of $50,000 to secure the greater property purchase by the general partners and
RNW principal owners in Cable Wisconsin from the current ownership, the Titus family
• The purchase agreement for the property was signed on June 28, 2022, with the expectation
the earnest money is in place at the title company by July 15, 2022
• This money would only be tied up until the closing which is scheduled for August 31,
2022. (approximately 6 weeks)
• The general partners who will devote the largest share if injections to finance the multi-
million-dollar development (up to $110 million over the next two years) have requested the
local community and the RNW ownership to participate in the project before the general
partner monies are contributed
Resorts of the Northwoods, LLC
• The RNW principals of James Bolen and Jim Kelly will have injected $398,700 since the
beginning stages of planning through closing
• The general partners working on this project have a required expectation that local
communities (economic development, local units of government, county government)
invest in their projects, as is standard in many nationally known developments of this scale
• The $50,000 of earnest money sought from the BCEDC in a risk mitigated injection with
assured return to show the general partners the local community involvement and interest

• The Phase 1 portion of the overall project is estimated to become a $25 million plus annual
revenue property within the next five years when broken down between the resorts, stand-
alone restaurant and resort rental villas. Phase 2 will deliver addition revenue and will
include upscale residential properties, vacation homes, additional villas, condominiums and
workforce housing, plus a corporate training center campus, Activity Center and festival
grounds.
• Sometime after closing the State of Wisconsin is allocating resources to inject into the
project during the development and construction phases.

• A TIF district has already been approved by the State which includes the identified
property
• The Principles are committed to an eco-friendly resort development and therefore have
already secured initial approval for 16 million dollars in PACE funding to be made
available after closing.
EXPECTED IMPACTS AND OUTCOMES FROM PROPERTY PURCHASE
• During the pre-opening, construction phase the expected economic impact is
$106,068,015. This figure includes construction costs estimates and is based on the
conclusions of Hotel R&D, WhiteStar Advisors and the Entrepreneur Fund.
• This includes $16,120,000 in lodging and local spending from construction workers
• A significant portion of the 61 million dollar construction budget will be infused into
several local businesses such as Todd’s Redimix, Cable Lumber and Home, Omar
Nelson Electric, Andry Rasmussen and Sons, Mark Rasmussen Excavating, Bayfield
Electric, Norvado and several others.
• The immediate impact upon the area will be revitalizing an available but non-performing
asset to full capacity, occupancy, and earnings for the region
• Re-purposing the former Telemark Golf Course Property will result in more jobs and
increases in room tax, sales tax, liquor tax, property tax and valuation, and other
government revenue generating fees and resources.
• The total tax increase for the first full year of operations is estimated to be $3,290,753.
• RNW is expected to spend nearly $5.5 million dollars annually with other local vendors
for supplies, food and beverages as well as purveyors of locally sourced meats, cheeses,
fish, wines and micro-brews as part of its garden to table program.
• The project will leverage existing tourism dollars with a comprehensive marketing
campaign that captures all of the great amenities (culture, cuisine, silent and motorized
recreational sports) under one flagship brand, resulting in a variety of socioeconomic
visitors and tourists from a diverse background of experiences (which will enrich the area
demographically and culturally)
• In addition to their higher end residences and vacation homes RNW’s 300 acre housing
development addresses the areas housing shortage by building moderate, market rate
housing that includes both individual residences and condo’s and abundant workforce
housing. There is also an additional 100 acres dedicated for housing in Phase 2 for a total
of 400 acres available for home development.
• If you are looking for additional State and Federal investment in our region the increased
demand for the properties will enhance and encourage infrastructure improvement for the
area by increasing usage data for roads, broadband and transportation companies.

RESORT OF THE NORTHWOODS BACKGROUND AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
• Resort of the Northwoods, LLC (RNW) Bayfield County project is a moderate to higher-
end lodging, hospitality and residential complex committed to developing 250 individual
resort room accommodations within the next two years on the former Telemark Golf
Course Property
• One resort will include a family-style hotel and resort rental villas. The second is a luxury
resort comprised of individual villas and guest rooms. RNW hopes to have a majority of
the units completed in time for the 2024 Cross Country Skiing World Cup.
Strengths: The Resorts of the Northwoods, LLC’s Bayfield County project’s ultimate goal is
to revitalize an available but underperforming asset to full capacity and occupancy
building upon the tourism industry of Bayfield County
Principals have a strong marketing background and understanding of how the
overall properties should execute a comprehensive marketing approach to all the
amenities of Northern Wisconsin.
With an immediately available property that fits the overall Resort of the
Northwood’s Phased Expansion, the former Telemark Golf Course property allows
the further expansion of the corporate vision
A return analysis was conducted by Miranda Kischel of the Entrepreneur Fund, in
conformity with the Professional Standards of the National Association of
Certified Valuators and Analysts (NACVA), and shows it is a sound investment
with a compounded annual return of 18.75% after five-years.

OPIOID FEEDBACK
HEALTH
Hi Mark,
As you know, Public Health is about prevention-based programming. In general, we try to prevent
problems from happening or occurring through implementing educational programs, recommending
policies, administering services and conducting research. This contrasts with other sectors including
clinical care or emergency care that typically focuses on treating individuals after they become sick or
injured. There is a lot of research out there and studies showing that investment in prevention-based
programs have a higher Return on Investment (ROI) in comparison to secondary or tertiary-based
programs that respond after there’s already an initial problem.
I have voiced at our Board of Health meeting in June that I feel that the opioid settlement funds would
have the best ROI for Bayfield County citizens if it were to be invested in these upstream, public health
based programs. I realize we are all looking for our departments at how we might use these funds. I
don’t want to create competition for use of these funds within each department and sort of “pit” one
department against another. However, I feel strongly that these funds would be best used in an
approach that considers education and programming with youth that helps to prevent opioid or other
drug use before it ever happens and addiction/dependency occurs. Or, to invest in youth-based
initiatives that help keep children socially-connected so they have more resiliency in their lives and to
help provide more protective factors that help prevent drug use and addiction in the first place.
The following are areas from Exhibit E that our Health Department is already doing or could build upon
using funding from the opioid settlement:
1. Narcan Direct Program
a. We already are providing training to different community groups including law
enforcement, schools, social workers, families of those with addiction, persons in
recovery, and more.
b. We have no funding to provide this program currently - we are using County Tax Levy.
The Narcan comes free to us for distribution from state/federal funds.
2. Provide Education to School-based and youth-focused programs that discourage or prevent
misuse
a. We do this in several ways currently – through providing training and curriculum to
school staff regarding AODA (SAMSHA approved, evidence-based). We also do the
Hidden In Plain Site displays and demos for community members, parents, school
teachers, etc.
b. We have no funding specifically earmarked to pay for this training, education or staff
time in schools. (We do get grant funding to purchase the curriculum/books and the
backpack display, bedroom display, etc.) We use County Tax Levy currently for this
work.
c. If we had additional funding, we could expand on this programming by increasing staff
time invested in these activities. There is a great need.
3. We currently work with pregnant and postpartum women through our PNCC and MCH
programs. Included in these visits we try to address any drug addiction issues.
a. We currently do not offer SBIRT services, but could do so in the future.
b. We currently visit postpartum women for up to 2 months postpartum. This opioid
settlement funding could allow us to expand services for up to 12 months postpartum.
c. Public Health could look at partnering with other departments such as Criminal Justice
or Human Services Department to help with comprehensive wrap-around services for
persons with OUD to refer these clients for assistance in obtaining housing,
transportation, job placement, childcare, etc.
4. We currently assess babies for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) when applicable at MCH
postpartum visits.
a. We do not receive any additional funds for doing NAS assessments, but typically if we
find a positive screening (meaning the infant is going through withdrawals) we are
obligated as nurses/healthcare staff to follow-up with a positive screening. Follow-up
beyond the normal time of a home visit is not covered by our grants. We use County Tax
Levy for this additional work time.
b. Partnership with Human Services on these cases is really critical. Making sure families
have the resources and supports that they need during this time is important to the
overall wellbeing of the infant. We could use this funding to expand our programming
coordinating between Human Services and Public Health.
5. We typically do outreach and media campaigns on drug use in partnership with the Sheriff’s
Office about once every two or three years. It’s been some time since we have done a huge
media campaign. Funds could be used to do additional or more frequent campaigns including
radio, billboard and Facebook ads. Funding for previous media campaigns are/were largely
dependent upon state and local grant funding. There’s no funding for this in our Public Health
general budget. We do get creative with our Prevention (PHHS) grant, since our Community
Health Assessment (CHA) and Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP) are always
AODA/MH at the top of the list. We are allowed to use some prevention funds on
advertising/media campaigns but it’s usually eaten up by staff time for the other AODA work.
a. kNOw meth
b. Real Cost
c. Have You Had Enough?
6. We are responsible to make sure that there are sufficient Drug Takeback Days for Bayfield
County.
a. We partner with Sheriff’s Office to coordinate these events – typically twice per year.
b. We get a lump sum amount of $1,000 per drug takeback event and we split the money
with Sheriff’s Office, who staffs the event. We advertise and promote the event. This
money comes from Marshfield Clinic system.
c. There’s no funding for our staff to manage the drop-offs of medications that comes
throughout the rest of the year (ex. on non-take back days, when someone has a loved
one who passes and they need to get rid of their unused medications, etc.). We bill
these walk-ins through County Tax Levy as there’s no specific grant funding earmarked
for Public Health for AODA work outside of the scope of our AODA projects/activities.
7. We also have the medication lock boxes, lock bags, and DeTerra deactivation bags. We get
funding to be able to purchase these items, but we do not have funding for the distribution and
education portion of handing these items out to community members. This also comes out of
County Tax Levy.
a. We could work on using the opioid settlement funds to help support and increase the
education and outreach portion of this project in partnership with other departments.
8. We do not currently have a comprehensive syringe services program – it was not the direction
our Board of Health wanted to take about 6 years ago. However, we do give out free sharps
boxes to those who request/need them and we do accept used syringes/containers from
community members. There’s no funding at all for this. We use our grants such as COVID, PHEP,
or general Public Health to help cover these costs. It’s worth it to not have dirty needles along
our highways and in public places like beaches. Funding through the opioid settlement could be
used to design/create a syringe exchange program, or it could be used to help enhance the
existing sharps collection program to avoid accidental needlesticks, which can lead to infections
such as HIV, Hep B, etc. We typically partner on this project with Sheriff’s Office and Highway
Department, who tend to find these sharps containers more often.
There’s more that we do related to AODA than just the above (like coalition work), but those are the
sort of high points. In summary, we do A LOT of AODA work that goes unfunded by grants. It’s typically
taken out of Public Health General Expenses – County Tax Levy. If Public Health had more funding to do
primary prevention-based programs, we would then be able to not only do the current level of work we
are doing, but possibly EXPAND our offering of services. Ideally, I’d love to see us sending more Public
Health Nurses or Public Health Educators into schools to provide AODA curriculum.
There’s some really neat things in Exhibit E that are really intriguing to me, besides what we are already
working on in Public Health. For example, right now, there’s really not a great tracking system for how
many times people overdose or use naloxone and are revived (or not revived). That would be amazing
to build a new data tracking system or software platform that access could be shared between LE,
Coroner’s Office, Public Health and Human Services. That information could be very useful. Another
possibility is the creation of an Opioid Death Review Team. Holly, Tom Renz and I all are trying to work
on this, but we don’t have enough staff time/support to get it off the ground yet and so far, we have no
funding (though we are applying for CDR funding). Through the results of an Opioid Death Review team,
we can create more prevention-based programming ultimately (which is an area covered under Part J,
Leadership, Planning & Coordination – local planning identifies root causes of addiction and overdose,
goals for reducing harms, etc.). We currently do not offer testing for HIV and Hep C, but this is
something we have coordinated with the ARCW(Thrivent) and the Bayfield County Jail in the past, and
we could potentially expand on in the future if there’s determined to be a need.
Lastly, I’d like to point out that this isn’t a competition. The intent of this funding is really to help our
Bayfield County citizens – I think we all can get behind that. However, my question for all of you is: What
is in the best interest of our citizen in the long-term? $18,000/yr is not a lot of money in the grand
scheme of things. For us, that amount of money would help us be able to increase staff hours so we
could expand on our programming. I would love to see this money be invested in youth more so than
the adult population; not because I’m not empathetic of those with addiction – I am, but more so
because of the long-term ROI for our community. Imagine if we were able to offer AODA training/classes
in Bayfield County schools for the next 20 years – that could have a tremendous impact on the health of
our community. I would love to hear how other department heads feel that the funds could or should be
used.

Very well said Sara!
As you and I have previously discussed prevention should be key to these settlement funds. We have
discussed billboards with local Opioid facts. I did reach out to Lamar advertising to learn that their set
up for 6-12 months is quite reasonable.
It has been over two years since clients in our Treatment Court program have identified as Opioid
addicted. The majority of our clients have been Alcohol, Methamphetamine and THC.
This is not to say that there are not individuals in Bayfield County that battle Opioid specific
addictions, but they seem to not rise to the surface with criminal charges placing them in recovery
programming.
I support all of the initiatives you have identified.
