unserved properties these funds can be used for.
Item 6. The Judge appoints a condemnation commission that meets as
required to address condemnation issues that arise. Current stipend
schedule is $20 an hour, not less than $50. I would propose we amend this in

recurring audio issues. Very preliminary estimated 2025 cost is $75,000
Attached is a memo on the project from the Judge.

with the 20% local share to be split by the three entities.
Initial cost to each party is approximately $65k with annual maintenance
costs of $20k.
A tech oversight committee will report to the two County PSAP Board.
Item 8: A draft of the Business Park Utility Feasibility Study will be completed

v
Bayfield County Executive Committee
Greetings Mark Abeles-Allison,
As you are well aware, unless Congress provides additional funding, this is the final month of the
Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). As the ACP comes to a close, I want to extend my sincere
gratitude to you as our outreach partners and outreach grantees. You have played an integral role in the
ACP's success. I am grateful for the work you have done and I want you to know that legislative efforts
are ongoing in Congress to explore ways to extend the program and provide additional funding for the
ACP.
The ACP, which was created in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, is the largest broadband
affordability program in our Nation's history. Before the enrollment freeze on February 8, 2024, over
23 million households-one in six nationwide-enrolled in the program from across urban, rural, and
suburban America.
Reaching this many households never would have been possible without the on-the- ground
outreach by trusted community messengers like your organization. Your work has helped raise
awareness of the program and support enrollment for households in need. This was supported by the
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which made it possible for the Federal Communications Commission to
support community outreach, leading us to award $77 million in funding to over 240 state, local,
Tribal, and non-profit organizations nationwide. These funds went to locally-tailored door-to-door and
digital campaigns, direct mail and flyer distributions, in-person events, and more in order to reach
underserved and unserved communities where many eligible households live and work. So many more
households were able to learn about this program-and sign up-thanks to your efforts.
Although this is not the finale any of us envisioned for the ACP, we achieved something many
denied before and you knew all along: that if we want to reach 100 percent of us with broadband, we
need to have programs like this to address internet affordability. As the ACP demonstrated, these
programs can help everyone, everywhere get access to the high-speed internet service that is so
essential for modern life. While for now the ACP is coming to an end, closing the digital divide
remains a priority for the Commission. For this reason, we ask that as you communicate with
households that may be affected by the end of this program, keep in mind that some may also be
eligible to sign up for the Commission's Lifeline program. Lifeline provides a $9.25 monthly benefit
for internet service or bundled phone and internet services (or up to $34.25 monthly for subscribers
residing on Tribal lands) for some low-income households.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF THE
CHAIRWOMAN
While the Lifeline program will not fully replace the ACP benefit and has different requirements
under the law, it may be able to help alleviate the pressure ACP households will face after the end of
the program. You can find more information on Lifeline program eligibility requirements and
participating providers at: www.lifelinesupport.org/. You may also access the Lifeline Program
Consumer Advocate Toolkit at: https://www.lifelinesupport
.org/wp-content/uploads/documents/community-education/Lifeline-Consumer-Toolkit04.06.23.pdf. In
addition, the Commission is available to provide training regarding the Lifeline program and its
enrollment process. To request training, please email Outreach@fcc.gov for assistance. I am also
enclosing with this letter state-by-state ACP and Lifeline enrollment data, and a fact sheet outlining the
differences between Lifeline and the ACP, which may be a useful tool for discussions with households
that have relied on this program.
Thank you again for your partnership and the work that you are doing to help impacted ACP
households during this transition. We look forward to continuing to work with you to help close the
digital divide.
Sincerely,
Jessica Rosenworcel

NEGOTIATION/AGREED PRICE
The acquiring agency must negotiate with the
property owner for purchase of the property and
must consider the full narrative appraisal to
establish the property’s fair market value. It must
provide a map showing all property the project
impacts and the names of at least 10 neighbors
who are receiving offers. If the project affects
fewer than 10 owners, the acquiring agency must
give the names of all offerees. Property owners
may inspect and make copies of any maps the
acquiring agency holds. The acquiring agency
may present relocation benefits during
negotiations, if relocation of displaced persons is
required.
In partial acquisitions, fair market value is the
greater of (1) the fair market value of the part
acquired, or (2) the difference between the entire
property value before and after acquisition. If
only part of the property is acquired and an
uneconomic remnant remains, the acquiring
agency must offer to acquire the uneconomic
remnant. An uneconomic remnant is the property
remaining after a partial taking, if it is of such
size, shape or condition to be of little value or of
substantially impaired economic viability.
Compensation for an easement is the difference
between the property value immediately before
and immediately after the date of evaluation. The
date of evaluation is the date the conveyance is
recorded by the county register of deeds.
If the property owner agrees to a negotiated sale,
the acquiring agency must record the conveyance
with the county register of deeds. After
recording, the acquiring agency must provide
notice of the conveyance to all owners of record,
by certified mail or personal service, as well as
of the right to appeal the compensation amount
within 6 months of the recording date.

condemnation process in Wisconsin,
including the rights of impacted property
owners. More detailed information is
available in Wis. Stat. Ch. 32.
September 2018
INTRODUCTION
The Wisconsin Constitution, Article 1, section
13, establishes eminent domain authority, which
is the power to take private property for a public
purpose with payment of just compensation. The
Eminent Domain Law, Wis. Stat. Ch. 32, vests
several public and private entities with eminent
domain power. Condemnation is the legal
process by which the acquiring agency exercises
its eminent domain power.
The following are jurisdictional requirements the
acquiring agency must obey in order to condemn
property. Even if an acquiring agency does not
intend to obtain property via condemnation, it
must comply with the requirements of Chapter
32 when proceeding with an activity that may
involve displacement of persons, business
concerns, or farm operations.
NECESSITY OF TAKING
Specific entities are required to provide a
determination of the necessity of taking of
property prior to the initiation of negotiations.
(See Wis. Stat. § 32.07 for more information.)
APPRAISAL
The acquiring agency must obtain at least one
appraisal for each property it will acquire prior to
initiating negotiations. When obtaining and
drafting the appraisal, the appraiser must consult
with the property owner. Once completed, the
appraiser must provide the property owner with
a full narrative of the appraisal. Also, the
acquiring agency must notify the property owner
that he/she may obtain his/her own appraisal at
the (reasonable) expense of the acquiring agency.
The owner’s appraisal must be submitted to the
acquiring agency within 60 days of receiving the
agency’s appraisal.

or personal service and include: (1) a description
of the nature of the project; (2) a description of the
property to be acquired; (3) the proposed date of
occupancy; (4) the compensation offer; (5) notice
that any additional items payable may be claimed
for relocation assistance; (6) a statement that the
appraisal on which the offer is based is available
for viewing; and (7) notice that the owner has
2 years from the date the property is taken by
award to appeal for greater compensation, even if
the owner has already accepted and used the
award. If the jurisdictional offer is accepted, title
transfers to the acquiring agency and payment
must be made within 60 days.
CONTESTING THE RIGHT OF
CONDEMNATION
Within 40 days from the date of service or mailing
of the jurisdictional offer, an owner who wants to
contest the right of condemnation for any reason
other than inadequacy of the compensation
amount, may commence an action in the circuit
court of the county where the property is located,
naming the acquiring agency as the defendant. If
the owner has already accepted and retained any of
the compensation, such an action may not be filed.
COMMISSION HEARING
If the jurisdictional offer is not accepted or is
rejected in writing by all owners of record within
20 days, the acquiring agency may petition the
court for a hearing before the condemnation
commission. The judge will assign the matter to
the condemnation commission chair who, within
7 days, shall select 3 commissioners to determine
the compensation amount.

OCCUPANCY/WRIT OF
ASSISTANCE
No person occupying real property may be
required by the acquiring agency to move from a
home or business without at least a 90-day
written notice. If title vests with the acquiring
agency before the 90-day period ends, the
occupant may remain in the property rent-free
for the first 30 days, beginning on the 1st or 15th
day of the month after title vests with the
acquiring agency. If the occupant denies the
agency the right of possession at the end of the
90-day period, the agency may apply to the
circuit court for a writ of assistance to be put in
possession of the property upon 48-hour notice
to the occupant. The court shall grant the writ of
assistance if all jurisdictional requirements to
condemn have been met, the award has been paid
and a comparable property has been made
available.
LITIGATION EXPENSES/COSTS
“Litigation expenses” is defined as “the sum of
the costs, disbursements and expenses, including
reasonable attorney, appraisal and engineering
fees necessary to prepare for or participate in
actual or anticipated proceeds before the
condemnation commissioners, board of
assessment or any court under [Chapter 32].”
Wis. Stat. § 32.28(1)(b). There are several
conditions under which litigation expenses may
be awarded to a complainant in a just
compensation matter. These conditions include
but are not limited to: (1) the acquiring authority
abandons the proceeding; (2) the court
determines the acquiring agency does not have
the right to condemn the property or there is no
necessity for its taking; etc. For a complete
listing, please review Wis. Stat. § 32.28(3)(a)-(i).
6
PAYMENT OF AWARD
If the acquiring agency does not abandon the
proceeding to take the property, it must pay the
award to the owner within 70 days after the
commission’s award is filed. The acquiring
agency shall then file the owner’s receipt of the
award with the clerk of circuit court or, at the
option of the agency, pay the award into the
office of the clerk of circuit court for the benefit
of the parties having an interest of record on the
date of the evaluation (and provide notice to
such parties by certified mail). Title to the
property vests in the acquiring agency upon
filing of the receipt or the making of such
payment.
APPEAL TO CIRCUIT COURT
Within 60 days after the date of filing of the
commission’s award, either party may appeal
the commission’s award to the circuit court. The
only issues to be tried during this appeal shall be
questions of title, if any, and the amount of just
compensation the acquiring agency must pay to
the property owner. The appeal shall have
precedence over all other actions not then on
trial and shall be tried by jury unless the jury is
waived by both parties. The amount of the
jurisdictional offer or the commission’s award
shall not be disclosed during such an appeal. If
the jury verdict exceeds the jurisdictional offer,
the acquiring agency may petition the court for
leave to abandon the proceeding within 40 days
of filing of the verdict.
All judgments required to be paid shall be paid
within 60 days after entry of judgment, unless
the matter is appealed to the court of appeals or
the acquiring agency has filed a petition for
leave to abandon the proceeding.
5
At the hearing, the commissioners shall view
the property to be condemned and hear all
evidence presented. A majority of
commissioners present may determine all
matters. The prior jurisdictional offer or award
amount may not be disclosed to the
commission. Within 10 days of the hearing
conclusion, the commission shall issue a written
award specifying the amount of compensation
and file it with the clerk of circuit court.
At the same time the petition for condemnation
commission proceedings is filed, a lis pendens
shall also be filed with the county register of
deeds. A lis pendens gives notice to interested
parties that the property may be acquired for
public use. The day the lis pendens if filed is the
“date of evaluation” of the property for the
purpose of fixing just compensation.
ABANDONMENT OF
PROCEEDING
An acquiring agency may abandon proceedings
to acquire property within 30 days of filing of
the commission’s award by petitioning the
circuit court for leave to abandon the petition for
taking. The court shall grant the petition upon
terms it deems just and issue a formal order
halting the proceeding. The order divests the
acquiring agency’s title to the lands involved
and discharges the lis pendens.

Memo
To: Mark
From: Judge
June 7th 2024
Re: Courtroom technology replacement.
The courtroom is due for a replacement/upgrade of the technology that currently exists.
Some of the components were installed in 2007/08 and some were updated in 2015/16. We are more
dependent now on video access to the courtroom and the need for more advanced access for digital
evidence to be presented by video (Zoom), laptops and smart phones increases every year.
The good news is our current behind the scenes capabilities are still adequate to handle many such
upgrades (at least we were told that) so it does not look like this will be a complete replacement of
equipment. It appears the primary needs include.
1. Audio adjustment/upgrades to remove stubborn feedback problems.
2. Additional larger monitor over the witness stand to enhance remote witness appearance and
digital presentation. Perhaps new monitors elsewhere but it doesn’t appear that is critical.
3. A moveable evidence podium to be used by the attorneys for case presentation.
4. Perhaps some rewiring to allow for a hard connection in the middle of the floor for a podium to
access or install enhanced wireless capabilities that are secure for protected or confidential
information to be presented without the fear of it being accessed by others.
5. Additional hearing devices as the need grows each year as our juror pool and general
public/litigants are aging and have difficulty hearing in the courtroom.
6. New connections on counsel tables to accommodate the types of smart phones and laptops that
are commonly used during court.
7. Replace the cameras as they are from 2007 and one is damaged and increase number from 2 to
4.
8. Upgrade the VC capabilities in the jail as the audio is often very poor. The jail uses VC not only
with our courtroom but with the Department of Corrections and courtrooms outside Bayfield
County several times per week.
We have consulted with CTI which is one of the largest most recognized companies doing AV integration
for courts across the country. We should have some preliminary estimates in August. I would strongly
encourage going with a company like CTI because our last upgrade experiences were with companies
that no longer exist and cannot provide continuing maintenance or assistance. That causes difficulties
for our IT office. CTI has offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota, so they are close.
We hope to include this in the capital improvements for 2025 budget.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF ASHLAND, ASHLAND COUNTY AND BAYFIELD COUNTY
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT SOFTWARE
2024-2033
This understanding is entered into between Ashland County, the City of Ashland, and Bayfield

Resolution
No. 2024-xx
Supporting A Corps of Engineers Environmental
Impact Statement for the Line 5 Reroute
WHEREAS, Bayfield County recognizes that the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa
and the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa are sovereign nations; and,
WHEREAS, 22,400 square miles of northern Wisconsin, including all of Bayfield County, were
ceded to the United States by the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribes in 1837, 1842, and 1854; and,
WHEREAS, the Lake Superior Chippewa Tribes retain their sovereignty and treaty rights to
hunt, fish, and gather in ceded territory; and,
WHEREAS, Lake Superior contains 10% of the world’s fresh water and is a vital part of
Bayfield County’s economy; and,
WHEREAS, Enbridge’s Line 5 was built in 1953 and is 31 years older than the Enbridge
pipeline that broke and contaminated the Kalamazoo River in 2010. It is sited in the Lake
Superior watershed in northern Wisconsin, including the Bad River Reservation, and transports
23 million gallons of crude oil and natural gas every day; and,
WHEREAS, the easements that Bad River granted Enbridge to access and operate Line 5 on the
Reservation expired in 2013. Enbridge has continued to operate Line 5 through the Reservation
for over 10 years; and,
WHEREAS, Enbridge has proposed a reroute of Line 5 that is around and upstream of the
Reservation. The reroute is still within the Bad River and Lake Superior watersheds and given
the complex hydrology of the region, does not lessen the risks posed by the construction and
operation of Line 5; and,
WHEREAS, Enbridge is seeking a Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 permit from the Army
Corps of Engineers, which regulates the discharge of dredged or fill material into waters of the
United States, including wetlands, for the Line 5 reroute; and,
WHEREAS, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires Federal agencies, like the
Army Corps of Engineers, to prepare environmental impact statements (EISs) for major federal
actions that significantly affect the quality of the human environment; and,
WHEREAS, the April 30, 2024 changes to NEPA require federal agencies conducting NEPA
analyses for proposed projects to consider their ramifications for threatened and endangered
species and habitat, climate change, and environmental justice, while also requiring meaningful
consultation with impacted communities, including Native American tribes; and,
WHEREAS, Region 5 EPA notified the Army Corps of Engineers that “we (EPA) believe the
project (reroute of Line 5), as currently proposed, will result in substantial and unacceptable
adverse impacts on the Bad River and Kakagon-Bad River Sloughs wetland complex”; and,
WHEREAS, Bad River stated, in their 2022 comments on Enbridge’s Section 404 application,
that the Army Corps of Engineers must conduct an EIS “due to the project size, the federal
determination process for treaty harvest effects, differences between state and federal law,
impacts to Bad River’s water quality standards, and likely environmental impacts through
several of the Corps jurisdictional waters”; and,
WHEREAS, the Army Corps of Engineers chose to conduct an Environmental Analysis for the
Line 5 reroute which provides significantly less rigorous environmental and cultural analyses
than an EIS;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
assembled this 25th day of June 2024, hereby supports the Bad River Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa’s request for an Environmental Impact Statement for Enbridge’s Line 5 reroute; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bayfield County recognizes that Lake Superior and its
watershed are environmentally, culturally, and economically important to our region and an oil
spill could cause major regional disruption; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Bayfield County Board calls on the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement for Enbridge’s Line 5 reroute.

Re: Bayfield County EMS Study Update
The primary focus for this effort is to improve patient care and outcomes within Bayfield County. The
Bayfield County Ad Hoc EMS Advisory Committee has elected to work with Strategic Management &
Consultants to perform a study and develop a document containing an EMS plan. The plan will
include recommendations and suggestions for short-and-long-term goals to provide a viable and
sustainable EMS system.
The 2024 EMS study is well underway with eight of nine EMS services providing information
regarding Governance, Finance, Emergency Response Volume, HR/Personnel, and Equipment. We
anticipate in-person interviews with key stakeholders to take place between July 18th – 20th.
A preliminary report is expected by July 31st, 2024, with the final report presentation in August. The
final report will be shared with stakeholders and an implementation plan will be developed.
We appreciate all the efforts our EMS directors are making to participate in the Study as well as the
efforts of all stakeholders to empower EMS services in Bayfield County to bring the best and
consistent care for our communities.
Respectfully,
Meagan Quaderer
Director of Emergency Management
