Executive Committee Narrative, January 11,2024
Item 4: Kellie Pederson has shared the attached summary regarding demographic trends in
Bayfield County and the impact on employers, boards, etc. Kellie will lead us through a short
discussion on the topic with strategy suggestions.
Item 5: The Public Service Commission has announced funding for energy projects in 2024.
Details below. We would like to research cost implications and submit an application for a
project in March. Below is the announcement. Included in the packet is a resolution together
with an RFP for cost estimates from providers. We are trying to optimize a mix between solar
and battery. Solar reduces our electric costs, battery provides backup and peak load shaving
abilities to ensure power during an extended outage.
The county comprehensive plan lists energy outages as a top hazard for the county. We are
looking at solar on the new roof as well as several ground mounted solutions including a water
proof pavilion and some carport covered concepts. Project funding is up to $500k, match
optional.
Item 6. The County is planning on applying for a USDOT RAISE grant again in 2024. The
authorizing resolution is attached. A commitment of 12% of the project is proposed over a five
year period. On an $18 million project this would be $432k per year over five years for the 24
mile project.
This project would convert County Highway A and N to all season roads providing year round
timber and freight access in this corridor.
Many towns have shared resolutions for support.
Item 7. Bayfield County has approximately six million in unreserved balances. We commit or
dedicate these funds towards specific projects.
Here is the listing, allocation we have proposed.
• $2,500,000 – Five-Year Highway Funding Plan ($500,000 year, 2025-2029)
• $750,000 – Compensated Balances (sick and vacation payouts)
• $1,000,000 – Courthouse/Annex Buildings Roof Repairs. Second half of Annex Facility
/ Courthouse, over the next 5 years.
• $150,000 – Unreimbursed Delinquent Taxes
• $100,000 – Grand View Garage.
• $1,000,000-HVAC Projects, boilers, ducting. Boilers and duct work are major projects
on our schedule.
• $500,000-Business Park Infrastructure, this could match grant funds for utility
improvements.
Item 8. Attached is a budget amendment for the coroners office increasing the budget by $6000
for yearend autopsy expenses. Below is the Coroner’s yearend report.
Item 9. This budget amendment moves interim joint dispatch funds into the separate
department designated. These were recorded in the Sheriff’s budget 100 17 but are budgeted
in the joint dispatch dept. 100 17. The resolution also shows Emergency Management funds
being moved from one section of the budget to another within the EM Department 100 18
Item 10.
• End of year 2023 financials, final bills are still coming in. Year end balances today, are
shown as above last year. This was a close budget year with several departments
slipping over 100% due to the midyear wage adjustment.
• Treasurer’s Report: Shows at $1.75 million drop from end of 2022. $1.17 of this is a
reduction in ARPA projects. The remaining $600k is due to additional expenditure
incurred.
• Attached is a Right of Entry Agreement authorized by the UW to access the Pigeon Lake
Camp facility for a feasibility study. Next steps would be to develop a request and send
out for proposals.
• With the completion of the Comprehensive Plan, implementation is now underway. This
is the link to the implementation planning section. It is broken down by
o GOALS
o OBJECTIVES
o ACTION ITEMS
The plan is to distribute these duties by department and have departments and
committees address the topics on an annual basis.

Memo:Re:Implications of an Aging Population on Human Resources and Capacity
To:Bayfield County Board Executive Committee
From:Kellie Pederson,UW-Madison Extension Community Development Educator
It is no secret that Bayfield County’s demographics are trending towards a more elderly population.
The implications of this trend for the County and its services,has been an emerging topic of
discussion in recent years.Past data has suggested that the County is on track to be the eldest
county in Wisconsin by 2040 (i.e.more people,per capita,over the age of 65).With the recent
population increase in the eldest demographic,this prediction will likely come true sooner than
anticipated.Even though Bayfield County has not reached “eldest”status yet,(currently ranked fifth in
the state)the effects of this demographic trajectory have already arrived,bringing with it many of
the expected impacts,and perhaps some neither imagined or predicted.
To date,most conversations have centered around the increasing need for aging friendly support
services,and aging-friendly infrastructure (housing,transportation,medical).However,as this trend
plays out,one of the effects coming into sharper focus is the diminishing number of available workers
to fill key roles.As people age and retire from their long-held careers,there are not necessarily
sufficient numbers of people to replace them.Anecdotally,this is being seen acutely across the county
as an increase in job openings across most sectors and a slow decline in some services.This loss of
local workers has been exacerbated by the trend towards remote work.Historically,people that lived
within this community held jobs within this community.With the increase in remote options,more
residents of prime working age now hold positions with firms outside the community,increasing the
workforce availability gap.
This lack of people to fill roles doesn't just affect paid positions,but also key roles that have been
historically filled by volunteers,including roles in the non-profit and local government sector.In these
arenas,we see both non-profit boards as well as local government committees and councils
struggling to maintain sufficient active membership when long-standing members retire from their
respective roles of service.While there are certainly larger social and generational trends pushing
citizens away from the engagement with local boards and governments,the County’s aging population
demographics play an outsized role in this trend.
Thus far,across the area,we have seen attempts to address this downward trend with some efforts
toward “recruitment”,mostly aimed at worker retention and relocation.Implementation of broader
recruitment strategies (affordable housing development,reestablishing guest worker programs)may
slow or minimize the impacts of this demographic trend,however,without significant effort,the
numbers suggest that the region is headed towards a situation in which there is simply too much work
for too few people to take on.Even with strong recruitment efforts,it must be recognized that there will
not likely be a one-for-one replacement in all sectors as people age and retire.
This table from the US Census Bureau website shows the number of residents in each age-based category in
Bayfield County.The average age of retirement in Wisconsin is 64.When considering this table,take note of the
significant portion of residents that are at or near average retirement age.
Looking ahead into a not-to-distant future,it is likely the county will face further challenging questions
about how to best support the priorities and needs of the community with limited human resources.If
recruitment efforts fall short,and human resource capacity continues to diminish,key questions loom
for the community;How might we structure community services to require less work to keep the
community functioning?What roles do we want to have filled in the community in the future?What
roles do we NEED to have filled?In what services or sectors can we scale back?How can we shift
our service economy to emphasize our most important community needs?
Given this trajectory,it is important for local governments to begin to think more strategically about
how to address the needs of the future with limited human resources,both internally and more broadly
across the region.With two sovereign nations,two county governments,and a slew of agencies
managing the richness of the region's natural resources,the area has many layers of government
service and administration to operate for a comparatively small number of residents.In this area,it
takes a lot of people “just to keep the lights on”.In addition to supporting strong recruitment efforts
and succession planning efforts,it will be important to consider other options.Strategies like scaling
back (size of boards,committees,mid-level management)further merging,partnering and
collaborating (districts,services,departments,units,branches),outsourcing to worker-rich areas
(tasks,processing),employing creative use of technology to lighten workload need to be incorporated
into conversations now,in order to be prepared to meet demands of the future.
Should this be an area of inquiry the County board would like to explore further,UW Extension stands
ready to provide further research,and to support the development of strategies to address these
community needs.

Request for Proposal
Solar Photovoltaic Array plus Battery Energy Storage Capacity Increase at
Bayfield County Courthouse/Jail Microgrid, Washburn, WI
Bayfield County is requesting proposals to install solar photovoltaic (PV) plus battery energy storage
system (BESS) at its existing Courthouse/Jail microgrid located at 117 E Fifth Street, Washburn, WI. The
solar modules will be ground-mounted and/or roof-mounted and grid-tied to Xcel Energy. The new
BESS will be integrated to and be near the existing BESS. The project is contingent upon a 2023 Energy
Innovation Grant Program (EIGP) award which will be submitted before March 1, 2024, and awards
announced in the spring of 2024. This RFP is to assist with firm costs for the grant application and to
select a contractor once the grant is awarded. It is anticipated that contracts with the selected
contractor would be signed in May 2024 based on this timeline.
Bayfield County is supported by Cheq Bay Renewables and muGrid Analytics.
To schedule a site visit or request more information to complete this RFP, please contact Mark Abeles-
Allison, Bayfield County Administrator, Mark.Abeles-Allison@bayfieldcounty.wi.gov or Bill Bailey, Cheq
Bay Renewables, billebailey2@gmail.com, phone 715-209-2218.
Project Background and Description:
In November 2023 Bayfield County commissioned its first microgrid which master-metered its
Courthouse and Jail, combining 117kW DC (100kW AC) of solar PV and 125kW, 110kWh of BESS with
existing backup diesel generation. The solar PV & BESS sited at the Jail complex, are integrated with a
primary backup diesel generator located at the Courthouse across the street from the jail and connected
via buried cable. The BESS and solar PV support the diesel generator during power outages, as well as
optimize energy dispatch during normal grid-tied operations. The BESS is a Current Energy Storage
System (Current ESS) with partner ELM Fieldsight, who manufactures the pre-engineered, pre-
assembled system in Texas and serves as the primary microgrid controller. The ELM Fieldsight
Controller is also integrated with muGrid Analytics’ Redcloud Energy Management System (EMS) which
optimizes the system in real time and is a supervisory layer AI-enabled controller.
Bayfield County would now like to double the BESS capacity to 250kW and increase the solar PV capacity
as determined by site limitations. This RFP asks the respondents to submit proposals that optimize
available space for increased solar PV and install a new 125kW BESS while integrating the new
components to the existing system.
2
The existing BESS has one stack of CORE batteries that total 110kWh. There is room in the battery
cabinet to add a second stack of batteries without modifications to the existing system (see appendix C).
This RFP requests the second stack of batteries be installed in the existing BESS cabinet plus install a new
full BESS of 125kW/220kWh. The new combined BESS would be 250kW/440kWh.
The two buildings, Courthouse and Jail, are served by one utility meter, but two utility medium-voltage
to 208-volt transformers. The Jail transformer has 100kW AC of solar plus 125kW of BESS behind it. It is
proposed to add another 125kW of BESS behind this transformer. The Courthouse transformer has
neither solar PV nor BESS behind it. This RFP hopes to optimize solar PV behind the Courthouse
transformer, while laying open the option to add more roof-mounted solar behind the Jail transformer if
possible. It will be up to the respondent’s engineers to determine what additional solar PV, if any, can
be added behind the Jail transformer, currently sized at 150kVa. Input from and coordination with Xcel
Energy will be necessary as it relates to the transformer’s capacity. Alternatively, a new medium-voltage
to 208v transformer could be considered. It will also be up to the respondent to optimize the solar PV
layout behind the Courthouse transformer, based on the energy demand laid out in this RFP.
Any ground-mounted solar modules must be bifacial to maximize production. The modules must be Tier
1 and on the CA Energy Commission list: Solar Equipment List - CA Energy Commission. Likewise, the
solar inverters must be on the CA Energy Commission list: Solar Equipment List - CA Energy Commission.
The modules and inverters must also comply with EIGP Buy American requirements.
POTENTIAL SOLAR LOCATIONS:
A site plan is included in Appendix A which shows the potential locations of the solar arrays. “Array A &
B” are located northeast of the courthouse in the parking lot close to the courthouse main breaker panel
and transformer. A parking lot canopy is proposed with minimal impact to snow removal efforts. Snow is
currently pushed with a pickup plow from the parking lot onto the grass surface. A minimal number of
panel foundations will facilitate this.
The grassy lawn identified as “Array C” is planned for a pavilion-type solar array with space below to be
used by county employees as a picnic area. RENEW Wisconsin’s Solar for Good offers a pavilion design
that is attractive and could be considered for this application. A “four-panel-deep, 5-bay” commercial
pavilion is available and measures overall 30’ x 56’, which fits nicely in the allotted space (see Appendix
D & E). The top of the pavilion will be above the existing window. Please include a price with concrete
floor as an option.
The triangular shaped grassy area marked “Array D” could be filled with ground-mount arrays with tilt
angles of 40 degrees and ground clearance of 5 feet minimum.
The area of jail roof marked “Array E” is an option as it is a new 40-year roof. As stated, care should be
taken not to exceed the existing jail utility transformer’s capacity or consider alternate solutions like a
new parallel transformer or boring under the street and connecting behind the Courthouse transformer.
A roof-mounted array must be ballasted with no roof penetrations. Please provide weight estimates per
square foot.
3
Parking lot-mounted solar panels can have both positive and negative impacts on snow management.
On one hand, the panels can act as a shelter, reducing snow accumulation in the areas directly beneath
them. However, the presence of solar panels may complicate snow plowing efforts as they can create
shaded spots where snow melts more slowly.
The overall effect depends on the design, orientation, and elevation of the panels, as well as local
weather conditions. Proper planning, including panel tilt and spacing, can help mitigate snow-related
challenges. Collaborating with experts in solar and civil engineering is crucial to optimize the dual
functionality of parking lot-mounted solar panels. It will be up to the respondent to propose a well-
thought-out design to minimize the impact on snow removal for the county. A standard parking lot
canopy may have a height clearance of as much as 14’. See Appendix D for some examples.
The BESS, BESS inverter, and required BESS transformer (480v to 208v) will be purchased by Bayfield
County directly from Current ESS and the equipment cost should not be included in your proposal. The
installation of the BESS and integration with the existing BESS should be included in your proposal. Mike
Seavey, of Current ESS, should be consulted and can be reached at m.seavey@currentess.com.
A site plan showing the existing and proposed BESS location is found in Appendix B.
The EIGP includes Buy American and Davis Bacon (Prevailing Federal Wage) provisions. Documentation
of the Buy American requirement comes from the manufacturer. The selected solar modules, solar
inverter, and racking must comply, and it will be the responsibility of the successful bidder to supply
documentation from their suppliers. Further information about these requirements can be found on
the Wisconsin Office of Energy Innovation website. The 2023 EIGP details can be found here: PSC
Energy Innovation Grant Program (wi.gov).
Please provide the following in your proposal:
1. Engineering design, layout – Helioscope or similar, capacity, generation estimates, and cost
estimate for the optimum solar PV capacity within the selected sites as shown in Appendix A.
2. Line-item cost estimate for each solar array
3. Installation cost for installing a new 125kW/220kWh BESS plus second 110kWh battery stack in
the existing BESS. Do not include the equipment cost for the BESS, BESS inverter, and BESS
transformer. See BESS site plan in Appendix B.
4. Specifications and warranty information on equipment including solar modules, solar inverters,
and racking system.
5. Specify your workmanship warranty with a minimum of two years, and five years preferred

ACCESS AGREEMENT
THIS ACCESS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into this _____
day of _________________, 2023, by and between The Board of Regents of the University of
Wisconsin, doing business as University of Wisconsin-River Falls and the Board of
Commissioners of Public Lands (collectively “Owners”) and Bayfield County (“Licensee”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Owners own certain real property and improvements located at 1115 Pigeon
Lake Road, Drummond, Wisconsin 54832, commonly known as Pigeon Lake Camp (the
“Property”);
WHEREAS, Licensee has requested and Owners have agreed to grant to Licensee a
revocable license (the “License”) for Licensee and its agents, employees, contractors, consultants
and representatives (collectively the “Licensee Parties”) to enter the Property to conduct due
diligence and inspect and examine the Property and the improvements located thereon, and
examine certain records and documents pertaining to the Property (the “Inspections”), subject to
the terms of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of One and No/100 Dollars
($1.00), the mutual agreements contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Licensee and Owners hereby agree as
follows:
1. During the term of the License, Licensee and the Licensee Parties shall have the
right to enter, upon at least one (1) business day prior notice to Owners (which notice may be
telephonic to the BCPL Real Estate Specialist at (715) 525-1389), the Property for the purpose of
conducting such Inspections as Licensee may reasonably require; provided that Owners shall
have the opportunity to have one of its representatives accompany Licensee Parties on each such
entry. Any and all such Inspections shall be done at Licensee’s sole cost and expense. No
Inspections, other than those set forth on Exhibit A, shall be invasive in any respect or involve
the removal or disturbance of any physical aspect of the Property (including, without limitation,
environmental testing and sampling) (“Due Diligence Activity”) unless Licensee obtains
Owners’ prior written consent, and in any event, the Inspections shall be conducted in
accordance with standards customarily employed in the industry and in compliance with all
governmental laws, rules and regulations. If Licensee wishes, or the Licensee Parties wish, to
perform any Due Diligence Activity, they shall first submit to Owners the insurance certificates
as required hereunder. Following each such entry by any of the Licensee Parties with respect to
the Inspections, Licensee shall promptly restore, or cause to be restored, the Property to its
original condition as existed prior to any such Inspections, such obligation to survive the
revocation of the License or termination of this Agreement.
2. Licensee agrees to deliver copies of the final reports, feasibility studies, and other
documents prepared pursuant to this Agreement to Owners upon completion.
3. Owners shall reasonably cooperate with Licensee in its Inspections, but shall not
be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith.
2
4. Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Owners, members, managers
and officers, and their respective officers, directors, agents, affiliates, representatives, invitees,
and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses,
costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually
incurred and court costs) of whatsoever nature that may be incurred by the Indemnitees, or any
of them, and arising out of or in connection in any manner with the Inspections and testing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, Licensee shall not indemnify the
Indemnitees for any claims arising from pre-existing conditions of the Property except to the
extent the same are aggravated by Licensee or the Licensee Parties. This Paragraph 4 shall
survive the revocation of the License or termination of this Agreement.
5. Prior to entering onto the Property or performing any Inspections at the Property,
Licensee or the Licensee Parties, each at its respective expense, shall submit to Owners insurance
certificates reasonably acceptable to Owners. Licensee or the Licensee Parties shall at all times
during the term of this Agreement maintain in full force a policy or policies of general liability
insurance, written by one or more responsible insurance carriers, which will insure against
liability for bodily injury and /or property damage occurring on or about the Property which may
in any way arise out of, result from or be in any way connected with the performance of
Inspections on the Property. The liability under such insurance will not be less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) for any occurrence. Upon execution of this Agreement, Licensee will
provide Owners with a certificate of insurance naming the Owners as additional insured as
respects liability the Owners incurs as a result of the activities of the Licensee on the Property.
Licensee will provide thirty (30) days advance written notice to Owners of any modifications,
changes or cancellations to the above required insurance. In addition, LICENSEE or its
contractors will maintain the following insurance coverages: workers’ compensation in
accordance with state statutes; employer’s liability with limits of $500,000; and auto liability
with combined single limits of $1,000,000. Owners agree to maintain liability coverage for its
officers, employees and agents under the State of Wisconsin Self-Funded Liability Program.
Owner also agrees to maintain property coverage under the State of Wisconsin Self-Funded
Property Program for contents, fine arts, or equipment owned by the Board of Regents of the
University of Wisconsin.
6. This License shall commence on __________ and shall expire after twelve (12)
months or unless and until a binding agreement is entered into, in which case the License shall
last for the term of any additional inspection or due diligence period thereunder. So long as such
agreement has not been terminated, this License is revocable and may be revoked by Owners at
any time, in Owners’ sole and absolute discretion, by notifying Licensee of such revocation in
writing. After a binding agreement has been entered into, this License shall be effective during
the time of the inspection or due diligence period thereunder but may be revoked by Owners
upon written notice to Licensee after any termination of such agreement. Such termination shall
be effective immediately upon Licensee’s receipt of such written notice. Upon any such
revocation, the License and this Agreement shall be terminated and shall be of no further force or
effect, except for those provisions that by their terms expressly survive any such revocation or
termination.
7. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement,
3
whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies upon or by reason of this
Agreement on any persons other than the parties to it and their respective permitted successors
and assigns. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to
the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
agreements, representations, statements, documents or understandings or the parties. No
supplement, modification, amendment or assignment of this Agreement shall be binding unless
executed in writing by the parties hereto. Any notice or other communication required or
permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing. This Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. This
Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
8. Owners and Licensee each acknowledge and agree that the parties are
considering, the negotiation of a definitive agreement pursuant to which, if at all, Owners would
sell, and Licensee would purchase, the Property; therefore, this Agreement is not in any way an
agreement, commitment, undertaking or an agreement to agree to sell or buy the Property.
9. Unless otherwise stated, all notices or other communications required or provided
to be sent by either party shall be in writing and shall be sent: (i) by United States Postal Service,
certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) by any nationally known overnight delivery service
for next day delivery, (iii) by delivery in person, (iv) by facsimile transmission or (v) by
