Narrative; Executive Committee Meeting, February 8, 2024
Item 4: At the last meeting Kellie Pederson discussed the demographic
transformation with our largest population groups approaching retirement age.
At the last personnel meeting Kris Kavajecz reported that 38% or nearly 80
employees will be eligible for retirement in the next 5 years.
Kellie will share some strategies for the county regarding how to address a smaller
/ different work force.
Item 5: The Wisconsin Counties Association has requested Congressionally Designated Spending
Requests for their team to discuss with Washington legislators. We have and are in the process of
preparing several different documents including:
• City of Bayfield, necessary housing infrastructure. Bayfield has the interest and
treatment/production to increase housing in the city but their lines and pump stations are
limited and need upgrading. Document attached.
• Housing and first responders are in short supply, a proposal for first responder housing on
municipal properties to help attract staff is being prepared.
• One of the top hazards for our region are power outages. A proposal is being prepared to
provide local units of government with backup generators at their offices to ensure power
continuance during outages, serving both the municipality and community.
Item 6: The Emergency Medical Services Committee of Bayfield and Ashland Counties have asked that
assistance be provided regarding a cross-credentialing issue. With fewer volunteers the opportunity for
more cross-service assistance has become a reality. However, current regulations require a Washburn
EMT be fully accredited to be cross credentialed to respond to a Bayfield call. The paperwork and
procedure to do this is onerous. Attached please find a resolution asking the State of Wisconsin to adjust
this so that it is not so difficult for one agency to assist another.
Item 7. Attached is the County Wide EMS report for 2023 prepared by EMS director, Meagan Quaderer.
All 9 agencies receiving funding ($20k each) and serving Bayfield County submitted final reports.
Several agencies noted that due to funding uncertainty, funds may not have been spent on new positions
or wage adjustments.
The county could provide some assurance that supplemental funding, $20k per agency, would be
available for a 3 year period.
Item 8. Two of the original, very tall windows (100’ x 124’, in back of where Fred sits) in the county board
room have failed. The wood has rotted, and the window no longer seals properly. Maintenance has
insulated the spaces to reduce cold air infiltration. Attached is the only proposal received in the amount
of $12,690. A $1450 reduction would be available if we made the window non-opening. Estimates were
not available at budget time, this would have to come out of contingency. We replaced these windows
approximately 20 years ago. Other windows are generally in good condition, we don’t see all windows
needing replacement at this time.
Item 9: Charly Ray raised the issue of Board Compensation for day long county board off site trainings.
At present the county pays $75 for committee meetings and $100 for a county board meeting with a
maximum of $100 per day.
Item 10: The Wisconsin Counties Association held two In the Boardroom Sessions in December stressing
the importance of board rules. County Boards follow many different rules. State laws like, Open
Meetings Laws supersede county, County Board Rules and Laws follow, then custom or practice. It is
good to document, in one place county rules. The goal is to have clear processes and procedures in
place so that when situations arise we have a set of rules to support action taken. Attached in the
dropbox / not packet, are Board Rules from Sawyer, Burnett and Price counties. I am working on a BC
version of this and hope to have it by mid next week.
WCA recommends adoption before a new board is sworn to provide clear understanding of policies and
procedures. These, however, can be amended at any time.
Item 11: Proposals for the Grand View Building project will come in early in the morning on Thursday. A
bid tabulation and recommendation will be presented at the meeting.
https://bayfieldcounty.wi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/16180/Grand-View-Garage-Invitation-to-Bid
Item 12. Energy Grant submittals are coming in on Tuesday. A summary and recommendation will be
prepared for the meeting.
Item 15.
• Barb has prepared the attached County Supervision Report for the DA and Criminal Justice
Offices.
• We received notice that the Town of Eileen Broadband Grant was approved. Bayfield County
Committed $5000 towards this project. It surrounds the Bayfield County Business Park.
• Bayfield County made the RENEW Wisconsin Honor Roll. Bill Bailey received the Bayfield County
Honor Roll Award on our behalf.
https://www.renewwisconsin.org/renew-wisconsin-2024-summit-honors-clean-energy-leaders/
• Bayfield County is collaborating with the Town of Eileen on a Utility Feasibility Study at the
business park. Work is progressing well, C&S Design and Windsor Engineering are working on
the project with an anticipated May completion date.
• End of year 2023 shows expenditures of major funds at 87% overall with revenues at 86%
overall.
• End of month January 2024 shows revenues at 28% and expenditures at 5%. Bonding was paid
off in January as well.
• Treasurer’s report shows a $2.2million drop in balances from Jan 2023. Approximately $1.2 of
this is due to ARPA fund expenditures.

Re: Congressionally Directed Spending Request FY25 – Bayfield County -Municipal Generator
Initiative
Background:
Bayfield County is a very rural community in Northwest Wisconsin. Portions of the County fall in the
disadvantages community’s category including designation as a “Priority Geography” by the
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Bayfield County has 29 municipalities’ towns spread over 1500 square miles of water and forest. With a
population of just over 16,000 people, the 2020 Census showed Bayfield County as a rapidly growing
community.
Proximity to Lake Superior, 1000s of acres of County and National Forest and an array of unique
opportunities to suit outdoor enthusiasts in every season. These amenities, along with reliable high-
speed internet and small-town charm, have made the region an attractive place for remote workers,
second-homeowners, tourists, and retirees. These dynamics have, in part, contributed to population
growth.
Projections indicate that Bayfield County is on track to become the “eldest county” in the State of
Wisconsin by 2040 with the most people, per capita, over the age of 65.
With an increasing and older population preparations for community resilience are underway.
As the northernmost county in Bayfield County, the region is susceptible to tremendous swings in
weather. With Lake Superior surrounding the county on three sides the Lake can both temper and
threaten communities with severe weather. Massive wind and snow events in recent years have
disrupted energy sources while heat index records have overloaded power systems resulting in record
outages.
On December 14th, 2022, Bayfield County declared a state of Emergency due to strong winds and heavy
ice and snow in our region. This storm spanned two days and left approximately 5,000 citizens without
power for longer than 12-hours and 1,000 citizens without power for longer than 48-hours in below
freezing temperatures.
The Bayfield County hazard mitigation plan identifies power outages as the number one threat to the
community. Municipal buildings across the county have invested in new heating and cooling systems
and serve as shelters during extreme weather and power outages.
Ensuring energy continuity at these shelters is more important than ever.
Proposed Use of Funds:
Bayfield County requests funding for standby generators at municipal offices throughout Bayfield
County. $1.5 million would provide generators to ensure at least one public building has backup
generation capability in every community.
This support will ensure that a 20-40kw generator is installed in one municipal building in each
community, where emergency shelters are located.
Leveraged Funds:
If awarded, this investment will be paired with local contributions.

Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS) Request for FY25
Homes for Helpers:
An Initiative to Address the Catastrophic Shortage of Public Safety Personnel in Bayfield County
Homes for Helpers CDS Request Framework
Bayfield County is requesting $3.2 million dollars to build 15 small homes on municipally owned
land across Bayfield County.
● These homes will be occupied by public safety personnel including EMS, fire, and law
enforcement professionals, and other first responders.
● Homes will be rented on a long-term basis at a nominal cost to ensure affordability for
public safety personnel, and to ensure upkeep of homes is revenue neutral for
participating municipalities.
● Homes will be constructed on municipal land at sites on or adjacent to public safety and
civil safety infrastructure (i.e. town halls, ambulance halls, fire halls, etc.)
● Homes will make use of prefabricated technology to ensure rapid deployment of units.
Anticipated Impact of Homes for Helpers Initiative
This Initiative will:
● Increase capacity for emergency response in areas of the county most impacted by a
shortage public safety personnel
● Decrease emergency response time
● Increase successful recruitment of public safety personnel
● Ensure adequate housing opportunities for public safety personnel amidst an
extraordinary housing shortage across Bayfield County

Re: Congressionally Directed Spending Request FY25 – City of Bayfield Housing Initiative
Background:
A 2021 housing study identified a significant need for new affordable housing in the City of Bayfield, a
community that has been identified as a “Priority Geography” by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The City of Bayfield, Wisconsin’s smallest City, is considered a rural recreational gateway, given its
proximity to Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Chequamegon-Nicolet National
Forest, and an array of unique opportunities to suit outdoor enthusiasts in every season. These amenities,
along with reliable high-speed internet and small-town charm, have made the City of Bayfield and the
surrounding area an attractive place for remote workers, second-homeowners, tourists, and retirees.
These dynamics have, in part, contributed to population growth, increased demand for housing, and
fewer affordable units for people who live and work in the region year-round.
Projections indicate that Bayfield County is on track to become the “eldest county” in the State of
Wisconsin by 2040 with the most people, per capita, over the age of 65. This demographic anomaly is
particularly evident in the City of Bayfield, which has become a very popular destination retirement
community in recent decades. City residents have a median age of 63.5 years (compared to a statewide
median of 40.4 years), and the neighboring tribal community of Red Cliff has a significantly younger
population with a median age of 29.3.
Many of these young families are in need of housing that is close to school and community resources
based in the City, but there just aren’t any affordable family homes available. At the same time, many of
the elder residents no longer wish to occupy or maintain their single-family homes, but their options are
very limited due to a lack of housing for independent seniors who wish to remain in the region.
Housing development proposals in rural areas often lack the necessary economies of scale and
government subsidies to make them cost-effective for private developers. Federal dollars are not
available to install new infrastructure for the purposes of housing, while local governments cannot bear
the expense on their own. Public investment in site prep and infrastructure installation will make shovel-
ready parcels that are more cost-effective and therefore, more attractive to private developers.
In the City of Bayfield, there are nearly 20 acres in contiguous buildable lots that would be suitable for
new affordable housing development. However, such a development will only move forward if the City
can secure the necessary resources to provide sanitary and water services to the new development – an
estimated cost of $4 million. With street improvements and other key infrastructure needed to support a
new housing development, the estimated infrastructure cost climbs to $10 million.
Proposed Use of Funds:
In accordance with the housing category of LMI benefit national objectives, this requested allocation
will fund site improvements and necessary water infrastructure to serve a new 30-40 unit affordable
housing development in the City of Bayfield. Specifically, improvements will include excavation,
installation of water, sewer, electric, and internet connections, as well as interior roads, sidewalks, curbs,
and gutters.
This support will ensure that new housing is affordable and better matched to the community needs,
which will in turn support local economic development initiatives, increase area property values, and
help area residents attain safe, quality housing that best suits their needs.
Leveraged Funds:
If awarded, this investment will be paired with several other state, federal, and private sources.
WHEDA has allocated $10 million dollars of leveraged funding for implementation of the Rural
Affordable Workforce Housing Initiative Pilot Projects, with a portion of that budget to support work in
the Chequamegon Bay Region, including the City of Bayfield. A $50,000 grant was recently awarded to
build out the organizational infrastructure for a new Community Land Trust focused on developing a
portfolio of permanently affordable homes. While WHEDA funds may be allocated via limited grants or
low-interest loans, but they CANNOT be used for infrastructure expenditures.
Additional housing-related investment from fourteen communities in the Chequamegon Bay Region
demonstrates the broader commitment to increasing the availability of affordable housing in the area.
These local partners provided matching funds for a WI Department of Administration CBDG grant to
assess regional housing needs. These entities and others have continued to work together to promote
housing-forward zoning reform, small-developer incentive programs, and tools for ensuring perpetual
housing affordability via the Chequamegon Bay Regional Housing Coalition. The City of Bayfield has
also put $50,000 toward a housing-forward zoning reform initiative.
Bayfield County has also partnered with UW-Madison Division of Extension to fund a 2-year staff
position in support of implementing this and other housing-related projects, and made capacity-building
investments in the Bayfield County Housing Authority staff and internship opportunities.

EMS Cross-Credentialing Resolution
WHEREAS, Rural EMS agencies in Bayfield County are struggling to have enough staff to
respond to calls for service; and,
WHEREAS, Current State regulations require EMTs and EMRs to be credentialed on each
jurisdiction they serve; and,
WHEREAS, Credentialing is a lengthy and time-consuming process for EMS directors and their
Medical Director; and,
WHEREAS, an EMS crew must have a minimum of two responders to legally respond to a call
for service; and,
WHEREAS, more often, two responders are not available within the same jurisdiction; and,
WHEREAS, the result is that another agency must be called out from either further away,
delaying response, treatment and impacting lives;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Bayfield County will discuss and advocate for
simplification of the cross-credentialing process with State Representatives; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bayfield County will discuss and advocate for
simplification of the cross-credentialing process with the State Department of Health Services;
and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors assembled this
27th day of February, 2024, encourages local EMS agencies to cross-credential staff to ensure a
legal crew when responding to calls for service.

EMS AGENCY AGREEMENT HISTORY
In 2021 and 2022, Bayfield County held advisory committee meetings to address key challenges
facing rural EMS agencies. As a result, the committee recommends creating a County Wide EMS
agency so additional resources can be available to assist local EMS providers, as Wisconsin
State Statutes allow.
With the approval of the Advisory Committee, EMS Council, and many elected officials, Bayfield
County has established a county-wide Mass Casualty EMS team that will contract with area EMS
agencies. With a signed contract, Bayfield County agreed to pay each service $20,000 in 2023 for
continued Countywide EMS Services.
Agencies were asked to track spending related to the distribution and be prepared to provide a
report in early August as to the impact the funds have made for their agency and community. This
report explores how the funds were utilized in 2023.

FUND UTILIZATION REPORT
This summer explores how the funds provided to the nine EMS agencies
serving Bayfield County have been utilized to support their agency and
community. As a result of receiving funds, agencies were asked to track
spending related to the funds and provide a report as to the impact of the
funds for their service and community. The following is an explanation of how
funds were utilized by service.
Ashland Fire & EMS:
Ashland fire used $4,900 to hire an instructor for a two-day class for all local
EMS services to attend. The class focused on EKG interpretation,
stethoscopes and lung sounds, and capnography. The rest of the funds will be
going towards the purchase of a stair chair which is a patient moving device
used to move patients when they are in difficult or dangerous location. This
device will handle the full weight of the patient and will significantly reduce
injuries to staff.
Barnes EMS
Barnes EMS used $2,662 to offset the shortfalls of a grant to purchase an
upgrade for their cardiac monitor which will add the capability of monitoring
levels of carbon dioxide in a patient’s blood stream. Additionally, they used
funds to purchase WISCOM capable radios in anticipation of the WISCOM
radio system upgrade. Barnes utilized some of the funds to offset the costs for
a handful of unplanned maintenance on their ambulance which would have
caused their maintenance accounts to go overbudget for the year. Finally, they
used the rest of the funds to purchase supplies to keep on hand as they were
significantly depleted over the last year.
Bayfield Community Ambulance Service
Bayfield EMS increased summer staffing to begin on May 15th, 2023, instead of
June 15th, 2023. This allowed their service to staff 2 EMT’s from 9 a.m. – 5
p.m. Wednesday through Sunday. Additionally, they extended the staffing
calendar, which was set to end on September 30th, 2023, to end on October
31st, 2023. This increase in staffing cost $10,120. Bayfield EMS purchased
winter wear jackets for safety which cost $2,466 and the rest of the funds any
over-time costs for EMS and the purchase of two new AED units.
5
Great Divide EMS
Great Divide EMS implemented raises for employees on May 7th, 2023. The wage increase
included the following: EMTs were raised from $14/hr to $14.56/hr and Paramedics were
raised from $19/hr to 19.76/hr. The cost for the raises for the rest of 2023 was approximately
$21,058.
Iron River Ambulance
Iron River EMS increased their per-call-pay from $60 for a transport to $100. They also raised
the non-transport call pay from $30 to $50. The hourly on-call rate was also increased from
$5/hr to $10/hr. The increases based on call volume and on-call hours cost the agency
$87,000 which was offset by the County’s distribution.
Mason Area Ambulance
Mason EMS is building a new addition to their EMS hall which will include living quarters for
on-duty EMT’s. The living quarters will allow EMTs to stay at the hall during bad weather to
reduce the response time. Additionally, it encourages EMTs who live out of the area to apply
as they will have the ability to stay in the Mason response area cost-free to respond to calls.
Red Cliff Tribal Ambulance
Red Cliff EMS used the funds to provide the EMTs with on-call pay to stay at the Red Cliff
EMS Bunkhouse while they are on-call. The funding was used as an incentive to increase
EMS providers’ on-call availability.
South Shore Area Ambulance Service
South Shore EMS used the funds to supplant funds set aside for the purchase of a
replacement ambulance. The department was also able to accelerate the purchase of the
ambulance which was delayed due to the loss of several personnel during the COVID-19
pandemic.
6
Washburn Ambulance Service
Washburn EMS purchased two new computers to replace the very old computers they have
in the hall. The computers assist with the time spent filling out the required run reports to the
State. Radio and pager equipment was also purchased to replace ineffective and outdated
equipment. Finally, the service purchased 4 AED units to be placed within the community and
purchased new computerized CPR manikins for in-house CPR training and for community
CPR classes.
7
2024 FUNDING
After receiving feedback for the program, a report form will be sent to EMS agencies with the
2024 funding letter. Many agencies requested a format for the annual tracking of funds so the
final report will be uniform.
Additionally, many agencies held back from utilizing funds towards staffing as they were
unsure if the program would continue to be funded. They are exploring more ways to
financially incentivize staff using the funds.
