Executive Committee Narrative, April 13.
Item 4: Liz Seefeldt, Executive Director of the Brick will make a short presentation regarding emergency
service guide available to Bayfield County residents. Included in the packet is a list of services provided.
The BRICK has their main office in Ashland with auxiliary offices in Cable and Cornucopia.
Item 5. At the last County Board meeting Landmark Conservancy presented regarding the
Maki/Brownstone Trail property south of the City of Bayfield.
The Forestry Committee will be reviewing this at their meeting on Monday, April 10. Attached in the
packet is a draft Memorandum of Understanding. We have preliminarily reviewed this with Corporation
Counsel and are examining the environmental assessment study done on the project. The MOU
includes a provision regarding assuming of the Maki 5-year lease currently in place. We are reviewing
that also.
Any addendums made by Forestry will be shared with Executive.
Potential action at the Bayfield County Board meeting April 18 could be considered. The main reason
for the transfer is local government entity eligibility for grants.
Item 6: Attached is a draft housing land resolution for discussion.
Item 7. A variety of grant opportunities are available. Monthly we meet with a grant consultant
together with numerous other departmental and local contacts. Current focus is Housing, Highway,
General Technical Assistance, Energy and Farm/Forestry Projects. Suggestions and ideas on other focus
area are needed to ensure we are focused correctly.
Item 8. Numerous finance changes are underway as a result of General Finance Office standard
modifications that our auditors have encouraged us to address. These are just for discussion and input
right now:
A. GASB 87 went into effect Jan 1, 2022, and addresses all county leases. Specific reporting
processes are required. Kim is doing a great job aggregating all the documents. We are starting
to address a basic policy of how to approve leases in the future. This incorporates GASB and
local requirements.
B. Procurement: Attached is our current procurement policy. This may need updates as it relates
to the Lease Agreement Terms. We are also exploring a central credit card vendor. At present
we have multiple credit card companies. We think centralizing this will create efficiencies.
C. Capital Project Level: At present Bayfield County considers capital projects at the $500 level.
We would like to retain this for capital asset stickers but move to $5000 for depreciation.
Item 9. Traditionally we hold our budget planning session in May. For the past several years we have
met at 4pm before our County Board meeting in May to gather input and feedback for the coming year.
This meeting would be May 30.
At this meeting we usually do a priority ranking effort with clickers and establish some basic budget
parameters. We would also discuss the Highway Levy and the EMS Levy
Item 10. Updates are as follows:
A. We are gathering more information regarding Pigeon Lake. We have solicited interest from
other entities. We are also developing an RFP for a facility assessment and possible use analysis.
Bureau of Public Lands noted that they could not assist financially with this but if the property
was purchased, it could be considered as part of the purchase price.
B. Consolidate Dispatch work groups continue weekly with project updates. Application goes in on
May 1.
C. Treasurer Report: End of March report attached. Very comparable to 2022 except for addition
of LATCF funds we have allocated to projects.
D. Financial Report is in the packet for the end of March. Major fund expenditure is 28% this year.
Revenues and expenditures are comparable to last year. Sales tax figures, below are just about
even (up .6%) with last year at this time.

COUNTY OF BAYFIELD )
I, Lynn M. Divine, Bayfield County Clerk,
hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and
correct copy of Resolution No. 2023-xx, Volume
29, adopted by the Bayfield County Board of
Supervisors at their meeting held on the 18th day
of April 2023.
Lynn M. Divine, Bayfield County Clerk
_________________________________________________
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is hereby made and entered into by and between Landmark Conservancy
(Landmark) and Bayfield County (County).
I. MISSION
To advance the restoration of the Maki property and adjacent Brownstone Trail, facilitate public use, and nurture the
appreciation of coastal habitat protection, restoration, and management along Lake Superior.
II. PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Located in Bayfield County just south of the City of Bayfield, WI and along Lake Superior, the Maki property was
purchased by Landmark Conservancy in 2022 with donations from community organizations and residents. Landmark
Conservancy also owns two adjacent parcels. Landmark and County share a mutual interest to work together to restore
these properties (referred to collectively as the Maki property, see Exhibit A) to address erosion, restore the Brownstone
Trail and create a public trailhead, foster native habitat, and transform an area into a park with community space, natural
habitat, and view of Lake Superior. This agreement will encourage a partnership that will allow each partner to function
within its core strengths while contributing to a more effective management and utilization of the property long-term.
III. RESPONSIBILITIES
Landmark will:
• Transfer the Maki property and portions of Landmark property to the County to achieve Landmark’s goals of
continuing to work on a legacy project for Landmark, addressing an identified community need, continuing to
provide outdoor recreational opportunities, providing a restoration project example to partners, and continuing to
focus on its mission of conserving Wisconsin’s natural legacy for everyone, forever.
• Identify and prepare all grant applications for restoration activities, regardless of eligibility be it Landmark or
County. If the County is the applicant, coordinate with County Forestry and Park’s staff to review and submit
grant applications is a timely fashion.
• Once awarded, track all grant expenditures, preparing grant reports, and other grant management activities as
needed.
• Coordinate and oversee all aspects of the restoration of the eroded section of the property and the Brownstone
Trail, expected to begin in 2024. This includes RFP development, contract administration, oversight, inspections,
invoicing, reporting, etc. This also includes fundraising.
• Conduct community outreach in the Bayfield community in the form of social media, events, press releases,
meetings, etc regarding restoration work.
• Once restoration is complete, work with the County to determine the layout of the community park with input
from the Bayfield community. This includes determining the highest and best use of the residential home and the
space that it occupies while meeting the restoration and conservation goals of the project.
• Upon County’s request and the approval of Landmark’s Board of Directors, accept the return of ownership of the
property in the event that full funding for slope and trail restoration is not secured by the end of 2028.
• Continue to hold all trail easements along the Brownstone Trail.
County will:
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
LANDMARK CONSERVANCY AND BAYFIELD COUNTY
• Accept ownership of the Maki property and portions of Landmark property to further invest in the Bayfield
community, facilitate funding for restoration, and provide additional outdoor recreational opportunities in the
form of a community park and the Brownstone Trail.
• As described above, apply for grant funding as opportunities are identified by Landmark and abide by grant
contracts if funds are awarded.
• Accept the assignment of the lease of the Maki property to Viking Motors Inc. and Viking Motors Transit Inc. for
a period of up to 5 years, concluding on or before December 31, 2027, per the terms laid out by Landmark in the
lease.
• Take steps to create a park on the upslope portion of the property with input from the Bayfield community and
Landmark. At minimum, a park would contain a small parking area (year-round if plowed), signage, trailhead to
the Brownstone Trail, natural habitat, and a view of Lake Superior. Park development will occur upon conclusion
of the restoration of the eroded section of the property and the Brownstone Trail and following the completion of
the lease and/or departure of the tenants, whichever comes first.
• Support the ongoing management and maintenance of the Property as its owner.

transparent and mutually beneficial partnership. Communication to the public related to the efforts to be undertaken
through this MOU shall include the mention of both parties and should highlight the partnership aspect of the efforts.

person conferences. Each party will appoint a person to serve as the official contact and coordinate the activities of each
organization in carrying out this MOU.

EXHIBIT A
Bayfield County
GASB 87 Lease Policy
Purpose: This policy establishes accounting treatment of lease agreements entered into by Bayfield
County, both as lessee and as a lessor. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued
Statement No 87, Leases (GASB 87), which establishes a standard to better meet the informational
needs of financial statement users by improving accounting and financial reporting for leases by
governments. It establishes a single model for lease accounting based on the foundational principle that
leases are financings of the right to use an underlying asset.
Definition of a Lease
A lease is defined as a contract that conveys control of the right to use another entity’s nonfinancial asset
(the underlying asset) as specified in the contract for a period of time in an exchange or exchange-like
transaction.
Short-Term Leases
A short-term lease is defined as a lease that has a maximum term under 12 months, including any
options to extend, regardless of their probability of being exercised. If lease is cancelable by either lessee
or lessor, the maximum possible term is in the noncancelable period, including the notice period.
Leases Not Subject To GASB 87 Leases of intangible assets, biological assets, inventory, service concession arrangements (GASB 60),
leases in which the underlying asset is financed with outside conduit debt, supply contracts, short term
leases, and contracts that transfer ownership.
Lease Term
The lease term is defined as the period during which a lessee has a noncancelable right to use an
underlying asset, including extensions that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Term begins on
date of delivery or has the ability to access/control.
Lease Approval
All new lease agreements or lease term extensions shall be reviewed by County Accountant. before
approval. Leases must be approved by the County Administrator and Department’s committee and signed
by Department Head and County Administrator before Board approval..
Lease Criteria
When possible, the applicable interest rate should be started in the lease contract.
The initial term, possible extensions, and cancillationcancellation clauses and detailed terms and
conditions shall be clearly started in the lease contract. When a service component is part of a lease contract, t he vendor shall provide the portion of lease
payments that pertains to services.
Extensions
For leases with extension provisions, the decision to extend or terminate each lease will be brought to the
County Administrator, Department Head department’s committee and County Accountant.
Lessee Accounting
A lease liability and a lease asset will both be recognized at the commencement of the lease term. The
lease liability is be measured at the present value of payments expected to be made during the lease
term (less any lease incentives). The lease interest rate for the present value is the interest rate implicit
within the lease. If no interest rate is listed, it will be the County’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
The lease asset is be measured at the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any payments made to the lessor before the beginning of the lease term and certain direct cost, less lease
incentives received from lessor.

Need to define better. Too broad.
Amortization is straight line over the shorter of the lease term or the useful life of the underlying asset. .
Lessor Accounting
A lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources will be recognized at the commencement of the
lease term. The lease receivable is measured at the present value of lease payments expected to be
received during the lease term. The deferred inflow of resources is measured at the value of the lease
receivable plus any payments received at or before the commencement of the lease term that relate to
future periods. The lease interest rate for the present value is the interest rate implicit within the lease. If
no interest rate is listed, it will be the County’s incremental borrowing rate (IBR).
Interest revenue on the lease receivable and an inflow of resources from the deferred inflows of
resources will be recognized in a systematic and rational manner over the term of the lease.
Capitalization Threshold
Leases which do not meet the capitization thresholds are not subject to the policy, except as required by
state law or federal grant uniform guidance. The County Accountant has the authority to exercise
judgement on materiality of lease liabilities to the financial statements. The lease liability materiality
threshold will be 10% of total noncurrent liabilities. The threshold dollar amount shall be reevaluated each
year.(I’d like to put this to $5,000, but we will need to change our capitalization of assets to $5,000 from
the current $500)
Effective Date
The requirements of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after January 1, 2022une 15,
2021 and all reporting periods thereafter.
Implementation Of Existing Leases
Leases should be recognized and measured using the facts and circumstances that exist at the beginning
of the period of implementation (or, if applied to earlier periods, the beginning of the earliest period restated). However, lessors should not restate the assets underlying their existing sales-type or direct
financing leases. Any residual assets for those leases become the carrying values of the underlying
assets.
BAYFIELD COUNTY PROCUREMENT POLICY
Updated and approved, April 20, 2021 by the
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
Section 1: Purchasing
General
The purpose of this policy is to require all Bayfield County officials and employees to adhere to
purchasing procedures in a manner that builds public confidence and preserves the integrity of an
open, fair, transparent, and competitive procurement process conducted under strict ethical
guidelines.
Our specific goal is to ensure effective and efficient procurement of goods and services
consistent with quality and delivery needs at the lowest cost for the best value for the taxpayers
of Bayfield County.
Applicable Laws, Codes, and Ordinances
To achieve our goals, we maintain strict compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.
Purchasing authority is granted by sections 59.52(9) and 66.0131 of the Wisconsin Statutes and
by Bayfield County Ordinance Title 3, Chapter 1 and OMB Standards 2 CFR 200.
Procurement Process
Offices and Departments shall use a bidding process in purchasing unless otherwise
provided in this policy and even if not required are encouraged to do so. Awards shall be
made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. In determining the lowest responsible
bidder, the purchasing agent may consider cost of operation over the life of the item. When
comparing bids or quotes, the following elements shall be considered: price, conformity with
original specifications, warranty, delivery date (if specified), and freight charges. Upon
reviewing the bid results, the purchasing agent may elect to solicit additional bids. Department
Heads and Elected Officials and the County Administrator will be the agents of record for
purchasing and shall ensure the requirements for competitive bidding have been met.
Except as permitted by the sole source purchase provisions of this policy, all purchasing agents
shall follow the procedures as established by the County policy based on the amount of the
purchase. No purchase of a single good or commodity at the same general time may be divided
into separate purchases to qualify for a lower threshold of approval.
Procurement Provisions: Identify the need and estimated cost. All procurements must be
budgeted.
A. Bids or Price Quotations. The following dollar amounts shall be followed in determining
the process to be used in obtaining bids and price quotations:
1. $0.00-$3,000.00-no price quotes are required
2. $3,000.01-$150,000.00 -Small purchases above $10,000 shall be reviewed by the
Department Head/Elected Official and County Administrator to determine if a price
quote or bids is required.
3. Over $150,000-sealed bids
B. Approval.
1. Up to $1,500 Authorized Employees
2. Up to $50,000 Department Heads
3. Over $50,000 Administrator
4. Over $200,000 Board
C. Exception:
a. Emergency Purchases. Any purchases that are required to prevent damage, failure
or injury to any systems or citizens that exceed Approval limits shall be approved
by the Department Head or Public Official and County Administrator with
consultation of the County Board Chair. Emergency unbudgeted expenditures
require County Administrator and County Board Chair Approval.
b. Project and purchases on behalf of the Children’s Long-term Services (CLTS) and
Children’s Community Options Program (CCOP) are exempt from this
procurement process. Under these programs Human Services staff will solicit
proposals and work to secure at least two estimates. Low estimates should
receive due consideration however DHS has discretion on how to award a project
based on the best interest of the family. Competitive bids are not required.
Wisconsin Department of Human Services are focused on keeping disabled
children safe and in their homes and communities.
D. State Contract Purchases. An Elected Official or Department Head may use State of
Wisconsin for purchasing any products or services that are available to local
governments. By using this method of purchase, the requirement of bidding items will be
exempted due to the state or national agency having already bid the item. Further, the
State contract amount may be used as price comparisons for the competitive bidding
requirements for identical items.
E. Federal Grant Procurement Guidelines. When using federal funds and grants, federal
procurement guidelines are to be followed in some cases overruling state and local
procurement guidelines. Uniform guidance when using federal funds and grants for
procurement are as follows for obtaining bids and price quotations:
1. $0.00 to $3,000-Micro purchase, no price quotes are required.
2. $3,000.01 to $150,000.00 – Small purchase, purchases above $10,000 shall be
reviewed by the Department Head/Elected Official and County Administrator to
determine if a price quote or bid is required.
3. $150,000.01 and over-Large Purchase, requires sealed bids.
No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a
contract supported by a Federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such
a conflict of interest would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her
immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any
of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit
from a firm considered for a contract. The standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary
actions to be applied for violations of such standards by officers, employees, or agents of the
non-Federal entity. Disciplinary process and procedures are found in the Bayfield County
Personnel Manual, Section 4.3.
F. Sole Source (Non-Competitive Proposals). Procurement by non-competitive proposals is
procurement through solicitation of a proposal from only one source and may be used
only when one or more of the following circumstances apply:
1. The item is available practically only from a single source.
2. The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay
resulting from competitive solicitation.
3. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity expressly authorizes non-
competitive proposals in response to a written requires from the County entity; or
4. After solicitation of several sources, competition is determined adequate.
In all justifications made under this section, the requesting purchasing agent shall list the reason
and process used for selecting the vendor and documentation supporting the cost in the absence
of directly comparable market date.
Section 2 Other Purchases
Cooperative Purchasing
Departments may participate with a network of other governmental agencies for cooperative
purchasing up to $15,000 which will meet the competitive bidding requirements. Purchases
greater than $15,000 require prior approval by the County Administrator.
Lease Agreements
All lease agreements shall follow the purchasing policy and shall be reviewed by the County
Administrator.
Sales Tax Exemption
Bayfield County is exempt from Wisconsin State sales tax; employees shall provide sales tax
exemption information for lodging when traveling on county business. The County Clerk’s
office will provide the completed Wisconsin sales and use tax exemption certificate (Form S-
211).
Computer Purchases
In addition to the approval by the County Administrator, purchase or lease of computer hardware
and software, including copiers, shall be managed and authorized for procurement by the
Information Technology Department and shall comply with the guidelines established in the
Information Technology Policy. The Information Technology Director shall manage and
procure all requisitions for computer hardware and software. Technological compatibility shall
be a consideration in awarding any contracts for computer hardware and software.
End of Year Purchases
Unless provided by other policy, State and Federal law, grant or other funding contract, all
expenditures for capital assets shall be made on or before December 31 in the year in which the
purchase was authorized unless authorized by the County Administrator or his/her designee.
Sealed Bid Guidelines
1. A complete, adequate, and realistic specification or purchase description is available;
2. The procurement lends itself to a firm fixed price contract and the selection of the
successful bidder can be made principally based on price.
3. Bids shall be solicited from two or more known suppliers, providing them enough
response time prior to the date set for opening the bids, the invitation for bids shall be
publicly advertised.
4. The invitation for bids, which will include any specifications and pertinent attachments,
shall define the items or services for the bidder to properly respond.
5. All bids will be opened at the time and place prescribed in the invitation for bids, the bids
shall be opened publicly.
6. A firm fixed price contract award will be made in writing to the lowest responsive and
responsible bidder. Where specified in bidding documents, factors such as discount,
transportation cost, and life cycle costs shall be considered in determining which bid is
lowest.
7. Any or all bids may be rejected if there is a sound documented reason.
8. Requests for proposals shall be publicized and identify all evaluation factors and their
relative importance. Any response to publicized requests for proposals shall be
considered to the maximum extent practical.
9. The County shall have an evaluation matrix of the proposals received and for selecting
recipients.
10. Contracts shall be awarded to the responsible firm with price and other factors
considered; and
11. The County entity may use competitive proposals for qualification-based procurement of
architectural/engineering (AE) professional services whereby competitors’ qualifications
are evaluated, and the most qualified competitor is selected, subject to negotiation of fair
and reasonable compensation. A/E professional service are not subject to lowest
responsible bidder. This proposal cannot be used to purchase other types of services
through A/E firms for projects outside the scope of the original RFP.

BACKGROUND
CORE Community Resources is a nonprofit with a mission to ‘improve quality of
life for seniors and reduce hunger for all in northern Bayfield County. It was
founded in 2006 by a local philanthropist, Mary H. Rice, to address the needs of
area seniors and identify programs and services that would make aging in a small,
rural town easier. CORE’s first program, Friends in Deed, focused on meeting
senior's social needs and then expanded to include services that supported
senior’s desire to age in place – friendly visits, household help, snow
shoveling/lawn care, meal prep, etc. In 2020, CORE took over the management of
the Bayfield Food Pantry and expanded its service area to include all of northern
Bayfield County, including the Red Cliff Tribal community.

Section A - Redevelopment Narratives
CORE Community Resources is a nonprofit with a mission to ‘improve quality of life for seniors
and reduce hunger for all in northern Bayfield County. It was founded in 2006 by a local
philanthropist, Mary H. Rice, to address the needs of area seniors and identify programs and
services that would make aging in a small, rural town easier. CORE’s first program, Friends in
Deed, focused on meeting senior's social needs and then expanded to include services that
supported senior’s desire to age in place – friendly visits, household help, snow shoveling/lawn
care, meal prep, etc. In 2020, CORE took over the management of the Bayfield Food Pantry and
it's service area to include all of northern Bayfield County, including the Red Cliff Tribal
community.
CORE Community Resources’ food pantry, senior programming, and community center are
located in the former Maggie’s restaurant building, in the Bayfield Historic District. The current
space is small, is not handicap accessible, and is located on a poorly graded city street – which
all present challenges related to efficiently delivering our programs and services. Due to the
space constraints, we are currently offering pre-packed boxes/drive-up food pantry distribution
once a week and our senior programming is only offered twice a week. We have seen steady
increases in demand at the food pantry and for senior programming/services since we
purchased the building in 2021 and that trend is expected to continue.
To create more space and accessibility for the food pantry and community center, CORE plans
to build an addition at the back of the existing building, on the site of a dilapidated unattached
garage. The first floor of the addition will be used as a shop-in and drive-up food pantry. We will
receive and process fresh (mostly local) produce, frozen food, and shelf-stable food on-site. We
will offer multiple days/times each week for the distributions. The second floor will have
handicap-accessible offices for staff (staff is currently working from home or in the community
center) and a meeting room. We will also add a handicap accessible entrance to the community
center that is fully ADA compliant and will include a portico that will keep the entrance free of
snow and ice in the winter. Finally, we will regrade the site, install curb and gutter, and add
landscaping/green infrastructure that will improve accessibility and reduce stormwater runoff
into Lake Superior. All of these additions and improvements will complement the existing
CONTINUED PAGE 2
building and will create a more welcoming façade along a key transportation corridor in the
Bayfield Historic District.
The communities of Bayfield County can be described as rural, aging, and working-class.
Bayfield County has 10 people per square mile and the communities in the county range from 5
to 40 miles apart with limited public transportation options. Bayfield County is rapidly aging.
Between 2000 and 2020, the median age increased by 25.5 percent to reach the 2020 median
age of 52.6 (this is significantly higher (12.6 years) than the state’s median age of 40.0), the 60-
64 years age group increased by 81.0 percent, and he 65 to 74 age group increased by 98.1
percent. Many seniors are food insecure and rely on community meal sites, federal food
programs, and local food shelves to meet their needs; therefore, serving this population is a
critical component of CORE's work. The Bayfield County 2022-2024 Plan on Aging identified
social/recreational opportunities, caregiving, and access to healthy food as priorities for the
next two years.
Given the seasonality of Bayfield’s tourism economy, community members often encounter
income gaps that present challenges, such as food insecurity and access to year-round
community spaces. According to the United Way’s 2020 ALICE Report, the percentages of
households living at/or below the ALICE and poverty level in our service area is alarming: City of
Bayfield 47%, Port Wing 38%, City of Washburn 48%. This threshold is the bare-minimum
economic survival level that is based on the local cost of living in each area and is a good
indicator of people (the ‘working poor’) who are ill-equipped to handle economic disruptions
such as the COVID pandemic, lack of affordable housing, or inflation. CORE’s programs and
services address some of these gaps and the food pantry addition will provide opportunities to
expand our offerings.
We have taken the following actions to ensure the project will be fully-funded, in good order,
and completed on-time:
• A long-time Bayfield resident donated $500,000 in July 2022 and those funds are in-
hand and liquid
• Northland Consulting Engineers, a well-respected civil engineering firm, is handling the
civil engineering for the exterior grading, curb, gutters, and sidewalks
• Our architect, John Gerzina, is the CEO of DSGW Architects and is passionate about the
role that architecture plays in the development and growth of communities. He has
extensive experience designing buildings (residential and commercial) in Bayfield
• Our contractor, Nasi Construction, is located in Hurley, WI and is family owned and
operated. They have been in business since 1976 and have an impressive catalog of
completed projects: City of Ashland police headquarters, Northland College Ponzio
CONTINUED PAGE 3
stadium, and the Saxon Harbor marina. They are committed to begin work early
summer 2023
• The construction plans were reviewed and approved by the City of Bayfield’s
Architectural Review Board in August 2022
• CORE’s Board of Directors has a diverse range of skills and is well-qualified to support
this project
• In 2022, CORE’s internal bookkeeping framework was reworked and is set up for the
reporting required for a state-level grant
x Building renovation x New construction
x Historic Preservation x Infrastructure reinvestment
x Demolition
The food pantry addition, as well as the exterior work on the site and existing building will
greatly improve the appearance of a well-known building in the Bayfield Historic District. In
addition, it sits at the intersection of Third Street and Manypenny Avenue – the gateway into
downtown Bayfield for virtually all tourists who arrive via Highway 13 (a National Scenic
Byway). We don’t have immediate plans to hire additional employees but providing office space
for our existing employees to work on-site will allow for greater efficiencies and expanded
programs/services. CORE currently has 5 employees that will be able to work on-site when this
project is completed: three FTE, one .75 FTE, and one .87 FTE. CORE’s annual payroll for these 5
employees is $333,00.00.
CORE has a robust volunteer program and the food pantry addition will allow for new program
development and/or existing program expansion which will result in additional volunteer
opportunities. In 2022, CORE volunteers donated 2,476 hours, or about $74,000 (according to
Independent Sector’s current estimated national value of each volunteer hour). Given the
advanced median age in Bayfield, housing prices, and the large number of retirees – high-
quality volunteer opportunities are an important economic driver because they contribute to
making Bayfield an attractive location for retirees.
CONTINUED PAGE 4
The proposed project is designed to provide adequate space for all of CORE’s existing
programming, thereby opening up the possibility of new development on adjacent downtown
parcels that CORE owns.
Nasi Construction is locally-owned and family operated construction company and they use
local sub-contractors.
We are currently purchasing food (produce, meat, and eggs) from local farmers for our food
pantry and with the increased capacity to process and store food in the food pantry addition,
we will increase our purchases from local farmers in 2024 and beyond.
In 2022, CORE distributed 122,000 pounds of food to nearly 300 households from throughout
Northern Bayfield County/Red Cliff who visited the pantry over 3,500 times at our once-weekly
distribution. 54% of all food pantry customers were children or seniors. 420 seniors participated
in CORE’s programs and services in 2022. Finally, 128 seniors received a weekly meal in 2022
(which resulted in over 3,500 meals!).
No.
CORE does not yet have all of the funds needed to complete this project. We are requesting
$250,000 from WEDC’s Community Development Investment grant program to help cover costs
that exceed the $500,000 donation that we received for the project. We can not reduce the
scope of the project because the expansion and handicap accessibility are crucial for our
organizational efficiencies and access for the seniors who use our facility
CONTINUED PAGE 5
No ARPA funds will be used for this project.
Our plan for the food pantry is not specifically mentioned in the following documents but the need for
senior programming, access to food, and stormwater runoff control are mentioned (all issues that the
addition and site work address):
City of Bayfield Comprehensive Plan (pages 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17)
Bayfield County Plan on Aging (pages 6, 7, 10, 11, 18, 19, 20, 21)
City of Bayfield Historic Guidelines (pages 24, 25)
The City of Bayfield’s 2019-2029 Comprehensive Plan emphasizes equity and sustainability, infill
development on underutilized parcels, and managing runoff on steep slopes. (Comp Plan, pp. 29-33.)
CORE’s project advances all these important objectives. The project – which is in the heart of the City of
Bayfield Historic District – received unanimous approval by the Architectural Review Board.
Nasi Construction will handle all facets of the project and has committed to a start date of early
summer 2023, with a substantially completed project end-date in early 2024. Nasi is an
established construction company with extensive commercial building project experience.
CORE has the necessary City permits and will be submit the construction plans to the State by
mid-April.
The project is shovel ready and can start as soon as Nasi gives the go-ahead.
