Executive Committee Narrative:
Item 4 : Nicole Solheim with Cinnaire will be in to discuss the Amended Development Agreement
and Amended Option to Purchase agreements for the 10 acre parcel next to the nursing home.
Attached please find the documents. I think these are pretty straightforward and we could act in
open session. John has reviewed docs. However, have included closed session at end of meeting if
a closed session is required.
Notable changes on the development agreement include the $1 million earmark secured for the
project.
The second amendment to the option to purchase agreement addresses the a parcel split for the 10
acre parcel. The parcel split would put the 40 unit development on lot 1, 5.4 acres, leaving lot 2
including 3.89 acres for additional housing.
Item 5: Attached is a proposed Request for Proposal for the above mentioned 3.89 acre parcel next
to the nursing home. The intent is to solicit proposals from developers for senior housing. The
county would contribute the land for the development. Proposals would be issued end of
September and will be due October 4 and be presented at the Exec Committee October 10
meeting.
Item 6. Departments will make budget presentations. Organizational budget requests are included.
Attached please find requests from BART, TRI County Corridor, BCEDC, CheqBuilt and Northern
Waters Library. These will be detailed in the 2025 budget book.
Item 7: Bonding for 2025 must be completed prior to the budget passing end of October. Current
plans are to approve on October 1 with an issuance the week of October 21. Tentative plans are:
Highway Bond Amount: $2.67 million
Northern Lights Infrastructure: $400,000
• HVAC Controls, $150k, plus prioritized selections ($250k) from below (excluding
portable items.
•
Total: $3,070,000
Item 8. Attached is a resolution supporting a federal definition of rural, lowering the number from
200,000 to 20,000, to support infrastructure investments for rural America.
Item 9:
Several budget amendments are attached:
• The dog license budget amendment accounts for the increase in animal boarding and
feed expenses for the horse cruelty case. An amendment of $32,900, using an estimate
of $4600 per month for seven months is included. Funding will come from Fund
Balance.
• Elevator budget amendment moving funds forward from 2023 to 2024.
• Coroner’s budget amendment accounts for more autopsys than anticipated.
Item 10. Attached is a resolution opposing HR9111 relating to the name change of the Apostle
Islands National Lakeshore to National Park. Numerous comments have been received regarding
the process followed and the importance of communications on this topic. County Board
supervisors have noted that there are many unanswered questions. I have been working to setup a
small group meeting with the Representative’s office, still hoping to do that.
Item 12. A variety of reports are planned
• District Attorney asked to be included on agendas for department updates
• Financial Report for end of July is attached. The 7th month is 58% through the year.
Overall County expenditure levels are at 47% YTD.

• Treasurer Report shows balances are up to $36.8 million from $33.6 in 2023. Main
reason is later billing for annual highway construction projects. ARPA and LATCF funds
are down to $590k combined with most projects being completed by end of year.
• The quarterly housing authority report is attached.
• Current Kennel provider has notified the county that they will be discontinuing business
service effective September 30. The County is working on a plan for alternate cat and
dog kenneling. Will be able to summarize plans at meeting.

Minutes of the
Bayfield County Executive Committee Meeting
4:00pm, July 11, 2024
Meeting was held Remotely through Microsoft Teams and in person in the Bayfield County
Board Room, Washburn, WI
Members Present: Dennis Pocernich, Jan Lee, Madelaine Rekemeyer, Fred Strand, Marty
Milanowski
Members Excused: Mary Dougherty
Others Present: Mark Abeles-Allison-County Administrator, Kristine Kavajecz-Human
Resources Director
Called to order at 4:00p.m. by Chairman Strand
Minutes of June 13, 2024: Motion Milanowski, Rekemeyer to approve minutes of the June
13, 2024 minutes. Motion Carried (5-0)
Public Comment:
Jerry Aerts: Opposed to the National Park designation. Will bring noise, trash, and too
many people. The National Lakeshore is working fairly well. Personal experience living
near Zion National Park when that designation occurred.
Kristy Jensch: Concerned with hunting rights if National Park designation is approved.
Unnecessary to convert to a National Park.
Dawn Aerts: Stated that the National Park designation topic has not been shared publicly.
Expressed concern with the reasoning behind the proposed designation. Trust the Ojibwa
to protect the lands. Opposed to further federal control.
Tad Paavola: Expressed concern with infrastructure needs if the National Lakeshore were
designated as a National Park. No mention of the historical districts in Sand Bay and
Rocky Island currently managed by volunteers.
Heidi Nelson: Expressed that the intent of the National Lakeshore is intact and there is no
need to change it. Not necessary to have Sand Island as a preserve.
Erica Peterson: Opposed to the National Park designation. There is currently hunting on
the islands and there are very few deer anyway. Bayfield Town Board opposes the
National Park designation.
2
Bob Jauch: Questions the motivation for changing the designation to a National Park.
There is no funding accompanying the National Park designation.
Presentation for a National Park in Bayfield County, Jim Miller, US Representative
Tiffany’s Office: July 24th the proposal will be presented for consideration by
Congressman Tiffany. Wisconsin currently has no national parks. Hunting is not
allowed within a national park, but is allowed in the National Lakeshore. Madeline Island
is not part of the National Lakeshore. The congressman proposes to designate Sand Island
as a Preserve to that hunting may continue on that island only. Tribal hunting rights
would remain intact. Fishing would remain the same as it is with the National Lakeshore.
The designation would not extend to the private lands within the park. Difficult to
estimate the impact on the economy. The bill does not appropriate funding. There are 2
pots of money for federal parks and special projects. There could be an impact on Room
tax and sales tax generated. City of Bayfield has a Premier Resort Area tax. Direct visitor
spending may be impacted. Red Cliff Tribe has been consulted.
Questions that were asked: Would a day use pass be required? Yes.
What is the rush? Can this be slowed down and researched more thoroughly?
Emergency Medical Services Report and Presentation, Dana Sechler: Goal is to
develop a living/breathing document that contains an EMS plan. Preliminary data on the
status of the study was reviewed.
Budget 2025 Department Presentations:
Craig Parks presented an overview of the 2025 budget request for the maintenance
department. The committee discussed options for replacement of the existing gasoline
storage/pump system. General consensus was to consider an above-ground tank, smaller
capacity.
Kim Lawton presented an overview of request for the 2025 District Attorney office
budget. Budget request includes moving the current Clerk I position to a Legal Assistant
position and changing the title of the current Legal Secretary to Legal Assistant. DA
supports stronger courthouse security measures.
Broadband and Telecommunications Committee Appointment Confirmations:
The county board authorized a committee of 12. The committee reviewed 6 applications
that have been received to date. An application is also anticipated from Norvado.
3
Comment that committee members should represent the entire county and should be
offered virtually as well as in person. Chairperson Dougherty has the authority to appoint
committee members.
Squad and Fleet Enterprise Funds: A $145,000 deficit occurred in the squad fund and
$120,000 deficit in the fleet fund in 2023. There are several squad vehicles that are need
of replacement. Propose a zero interest loan of $150,000 from the general fund to the
squad fund. It is anticipated that it will take through the end of 2025 to get the two funds
back .
Motion Milanowski, Lee to authorize $150,000 loan from the general fund to the squad
fund. Motion Carried (5-0)
2024 Northern Lights Budget Amendment: Motion Pocernich, Milanowski to send the
2024 Northern Lights Budget Amendment resolution to the full county board for
approval. Motion Carried (5-0).
Highway 13 Detour through Washburn.: Abeles-Allison reported that WisDOT has
agreed to eliminate the weight restrictions on the detour unless damage is observed. If

Bayfield County is committed to supporting sustainable community development by ensuring suitable housing

way the County can meet this goal.

critical need in high demand in Bayfield County.

Bayfield County Executive Committee
Dear Committee Members:
I am submitting the Bayfield County Economic Development Corporation (BCEDC)
proposed allocation request. To continue and expand our free services to the
businesses of Bayfield County, BCEDC is respectfully requesting support in the
amount of $93,500 from Bayfield County.
The BCEDC mission is to support and advocate for new and existing businesses in
Bayfield County.
BCEDC has a vision for Bayfield County where people of all ages can find
fulfillment in their lives through a balanced environment of economic
opportunity, outdoor activities, and natural resources while maintaining a small-
town atmosphere.
Summary of Services:
In 2023, BCEDC made over 160 connections with businesses in Bayfield County.
We continue to provide free resources, services, and connections for businesses
and entrepreneurs. For example: BCEDC provided an opportunity for businesses
to receive free legal advice in cooperation with the UW Law & Entrepreneurship
clinic.
BCEDC continues to advocate for the businesses in Bayfield County through direct
contacts with Executive and administrative staff at various entities. Some of those
entities include: WHEDA, WI Department of Revenue, WI Department of
Administration, WEDC, USDA, WEDC Office of Rural Prosperity, and the WI
Department of Natural Resources. Additional advocation for businesses occurs
with elected officials and/or their offices including State Senator Quinn, Assembly
Representative Green, Senator Tiffany, Senator Baldwin, Governor Evers, and the
governor’s cabinet members.
BCEDC is currently made up of twelve members. The board consists of 3 Bayfield
County board supervisors (Jan Lee, Charly Ray, and Madeline Rekemeyer), the
Bayfield County Administrator (Mark Abeles-Allison), and nine other
representatives from businesses and organizations conducting operations or
providing services in Bayfield County.
I am excited to share some highlights and initiatives of the BCEDC so far, this year:
Local/Regional Partnerships
• BCEDC hosted a Community Resources Forum for County, City, and
Municipal leaders. The program was aimed toward explaining the current
programs available to public entities. Over $2 BILLION dollars is available
for financing and other options. Speakers included: Board of Commissioners
of Public Lands, US Economic Development Agency, US Department of
Agriculture, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, Wisconsin Department of
Administration, WHEDA, WEDC.
• In collaboration with Chambers of Commerce, Red Cliff Business
Development, and business associations, BCEDC hosted 3 (with two
additional planned) Business Networking events around Bayfield County.
The events allow business owners to discuss current items, trends, and
potential ways they can collaborate. These events have been well attended
and appreciated by business owners.
• BCEDC hosted an event in cooperation with the UW Law and Entrepreneur
Clinic. This event provided the opportunity for free one-on-one legal
consulting to Bayfield County businesses along with a free online seminar
that was open to the public.
• BCEDC, with their role on the Northwest Wisconsin Regional Economic
Development Fund, continues to bring financing options to the businesses
in Bayfield County. Bayfield County businesses are utilizing the loan fund
with additional inquiries happening monthly.
• BCEDC continues to collaborate with NWRPC and their loan/financing
programs for businesses. Many businesses utilize their programs for Façade
updates, capital investments, equipment upgrades, and building
improvements.
• BCEDC continues to collaborate with Entrepreneur Fund and their
loan/financing programs for businesses. Many businesses are utilizing their
resources for a variety of projects and needs.
• BCEDC continues to support the Housing Outreach Specialist and their
efforts to increase workforce housing in Bayfield County. We continue to be
the voice of businesses as they are under immense pressure due to a lack of
workforce and workforce housing options.
• BCEDC has met with independent businesses and local builders to explore
options regarding private or business owned housing for their employees.
• BCEDC has had conversations with local builders pertaining to the feasibility
and cost effectiveness of construction. We continue to explore options not
only for workforce housing but also “retirement” housing. Some retired
individuals have expressed interest in smaller housing which in turn could
allow single families to purchase their current house.
• As a member of the Visions Northwest 10 county board, BCEDC
collaborates with regional partners to bring additional programing and
resources to the businesses of Bayfield County.
Bayfield County Business Park
• Currently discussing land sale with four businesses who have an interest in
the park. Additionally answering questions and inquiries from businesses
who have an interest in the park.
• Continuing to meet with local/regional businesses who have interest in
expanding will be a key strategy for the balance of the year and into 2025.
• Also, marketing the site with assistance from key economic partners will
also be necessary to recognize this asset to be utilized for long-term
business location.
2024-2025 BCEDC Direction
• In the remainder of 2024 and into 2025, BCEDC has identified potential
ways to increase youth entrepreneurship and ways to sponsor those
activities.
• Continue to host and potentially expand on the Business Networking or
Mixer type events around the county. These events have been well
attended and appreciated by the business owners and employees.
• Continue to encourage youth entrepreneurship and expand on the
opportunities/events that promote youth involvement.
• Continue to support and participate in the planning and implementation of
programing being provided by the Community Housing Outreach specialist
who is employed by Bayfield County and the UW-Extension.
• Will work toward identifying ways we can be of further assistance to care
providers, medical clinics/medical field, and eldercare facilities.
• BCEDC will continue to engage with local broadband providers and their
efforts to decrease the gaps in coverage.
• We will continue to advertise and work toward increasing awareness of the
opportunities that exist at the Bayfield County Business Park along with all
the other business parks located within the county.
• Continue to work with the American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation (ABSF) and
potential developers on the eastern side of the ABSF property. This land has
immense potential and is continuing to see increased interest in business
development.
• BCEDC is exploring ways that we can further assist other businesses
through programs and specialized presentations by experts in their fields.
The BCEDC will continue to be good stewards of the funds entrusted to us by
Bayfield County, and I thank you in advance for your continued support in 2025.

RE: Budget for FY 2024
Dear Mr. Abeles-Allison
This year has been a very busy time for us at BART, are now exceeding pre-covid numbers while struggling with
shortages of employees. We are also in the final construction phase of our new storage building in Park Falls and
are very excited about its completion this month. This facility provides us with the opportunity to keep all our buses
indoors thus reducing the deterioration and increasing the longevity of each bus.
In 2025 we do not have plans for any expansions, instead we will be focusing on the projects that we currently have
running and expanding on them. In 2024 we saw our first fare increase, in over 10 years, on our route services in
Ashland and Bayfield Counties, this excludes BayCo and Price County services. This increase, although small, will
assist us in maintaining our budget.
BART wants to thank our partners for the increases in local share in 2023, with this we have been able to retain
employees while hiring new employees to fill some of our vacancies. With these increases there was also an
agreement to maintain the current funding for three years. Without any increase for 2024, Bayfield County would
remain at $14,350.00 for our core services, $9,200.00 for the Blue Goose, and $1500.00 for Capital. BayCo will
have a slight increase of $575.00 to cover rising costs of fuel and materials and the decrease in 85.20 state funding.
This will bring the total to $51,624.59 for the FY 2025.
We look forward to working with each partner to continue to plan for the future. Thank you for your ongoing
support and please feel free to call if you have any concerns or comments.
Sincerely.

FROM: Northern Waters Library Service (NWLS)
RE: NWLS - Bayfield County 2025 Budget Planning Request
DATE: July 9, 2024
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information regarding the funding request for
Northern Waters Library Service. Enclosed is a copy of our original request letter from June 10,
2024. Below are the responses to information requested for your budget process.
1. Organizational Background
a. Northern Waters Library Service is one of Wisconsin's sixteen regional public
library systems. Systems are organized under Chapter 43 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, which outlines the services they provide and lists the requirements for
membership in a library system. Public library system funding from the state
enables the systems to carry out the service requirements and the state's
commitment to preserve and improve local public libraries. System programs,
grants and services are vital in providing the effective and responsive local
libraries.
b. Northern Waters, founded in 1964, is one of Wisconsin’s oldest public library
systems. It serves Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Iron, Sawyer, Vilas and
Washburn counties.
2. Bayfield County Representation on NWLS Board
a. The NWLS trustees are appointed by the eight participating county boards.
Trustees (county board supervisors or citizens designees) can serve unlimited
three-year terms. Each county is represented by one to five trustees, based on
county population. Currently Jim Crandall, Drummond, and Connie Cogger,
Washburn, serve on our Board.
3. Service to Bayfield County
a. Library system services include:
i. Ensuring that residents have access to public library service
ii. Promoting and coordinating resource sharing among libraries
iii. Providing technical and financial support to improve the quality of public
library service
iv. Providing training and continuing education for library staff
v. Coordinating cooperative library technology projects
vi. Mail-A-Book program
1. A county-funded library service for people of all ages who are
residents of NWLS Counties living in areas without a local public
library, or who cannot use a public library because of disability or
travel limitation.
vii. Collection development grants that help stock the shelves of your local
libraries
viii. Access to the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium that provides all
patrons access to a statewide database of electronic materials
b. On May 18, 2024, the NWLS Board of Trustees voted to request $40,268 from
Bayfield County for 2025. This is an increase of $1,173 from what we requested
for 2024.
4. New mission and/or planning initiatives in 2025
a. Northern Waters Library Service (NWLS) and Wisconsin Valley Library Service
(WVLS) are collaborating to engage in a comprehensive joint ILS consortium,
NICE Project. NWLS will be voting on this project in July 2024, and WVLS will be
voting in August 2024. If the joint ILS consortium is approved, implementation
will begin in 2025.
b. Northern Waters Library Service (NWLS) initiated a statewide LSTA-funded
project to gather information on Wisconsin public library cataloging processes in
an effort to create and apply standards to make cataloging data cleaner and
provide a more consistent experience for users discovering materials; to make
cataloging materials easier through the development of a baseline of best
practices and standards; and prepare for a potential state-wide shared discovery
layer. Phase 2 of this project will be completed in 2024, and we have applied to
continue this into 2025.
5. Other funds leveraged with a possible Bayfield County Contribution.
a. According to our 2024 Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Plan of
Service, NWLS received $775,804 from state aid and $651,921 from other
income which includes county funding, library consortium contributions, and
federal grants. While it costs $1,427,725 to operate NWLS, it is estimated that
NWLS saves all of our libraries across 8 counties $18,337,786 as compared to
private sector costs.

Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
117 E 5th Street
P.O. Box 878
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Mark Abeles-Allison and Bayfield County Board of Supervisors:
First, thank you very much for your support in the amount of $2,000 for 2023-2024! With these funds, we
were able to assist community members from all walks of life in spaying/neutering their cats. This included
indoor animals as well as outdoor cat colonies on farms. We continue to be an all-volunteer run organization
and strive to make a big impact through donations. Support from Bayfield County is vital to our small
operating budget and helps motivate individuals, community foundations, and small businesses to give.
For this next year, we ask Bayfield County to continue its support of our Critters Without Litters
program in the amount of $3,000. This program provides lower-cost, high quality spay/neuter surgeries
focused on cats. Depending on financial need and our budget, we offer some surgeries at no-cost. By
spaying/neutering, we help reduce the number of homeless and unwanted animals, help preserve the lives
and health of wildlife, improve animal welfare, and solve problems caused by unaltered cats (fighting,
spraying, vocalization, disease, etc.). Additionally, altered animals are more likely to be kept as pets, rather
than rehomed, providing emotional benefits to human health. Reducing the number of homeless and
unwanted animals in our community also saves financial resources for county animal control departments as
well as for our rescue and partners.
While open to everyone, our Critters Without Litters program tends to serve low-income families, seniors,
tribal residents, and service veterans. We continue to operate this program with trained volunteers, only
using funds to pay our consulting veterinarian a reduced rate and to purchase medical supplies. In 2023, we
performed over 400 spay/neuter surgeries and 2024 has been a busy year thus far. Demand continues to be
strong, and we receive weekly inquiries for this service. Demand has grown as more people are becoming
pet owners through re-homing networks, the cost of a spay or neuter surgery continues increase rise at
local veterinary offices, and people are looking for cost savings. While there are high volume spay/neuter
clinics in Duluth and in Baldwin and Eau Claire through Purple Cat, our surgery service appeals to
community members as it affordable, typically offered on weekends, and nearby in Washburn.
Thank you for considering our request. Helping PAWS Pet Rescue continues to be the only companion
animal rescue in Bayfield County and we remain as focused as ever on our mission to help stop the
suffering of companion animals caused by homelessness, overpopulation, and mistreatment. Our Board of
Directors has Bayfield County residents, and many of our volunteers live in Bayfield County.
Please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Erika Lang
President, Helping PAWS Pet Rescue

RE:Bayfield County Organizational Budget Request
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this funding request.
The Chequamegon Bay United Impact Land Trust (CheqBUILT)is an emerging Community
Land Trust with a mission to create and preserve permanently affordable housing for Ashland
and Bayfield County residents.CheqBUILT envisions a vibrant community where all residents
have housing that meets their needs.
The past twelve months have been extraordinary in the development of CheqBUILT,during
which the organization has grown from a concept into a fully-functioning 501c3 charitable
nonprofit organization.In order to capitalize on current momentum and move into
implementation,CheqBUILT requests the following from Bayfield County:
$100,000 to operationalize CheqBUILT
●This contribution will act as a match to an already-secured $100,000 commitment from
WHEDA for the same purpose.These funds will be used to hire CheqBUILT’s first
Executive Director and ensure two years of operational “runway”as the organization
begins to fulfill its mission.
A pledge of Up To $200,000 of “Affordability Gap Funding”for affordable homes in 2025
●This pledge will be matched by at least 1:1 with public and private funds.
●CheqBUILT aims to raise $500,000 in “Affordability Gap Funding”to meet the goal of
securing at least five homes in trust by the end of 2025.
○More information on “Affordability Gap Funding”is included below in “How
Does a Community Land Trust Work?”
Your support of these funding requests will provide important leverage in CheqBUILT’s
fundraising efforts during its first year of operations and provide financial stability as the
organization brings its first homes into trust.This support will be critical in establishing the
model in the region as a “proof of concept.”
When fully operational,CheqBUILT will:
●Provide opportunities for low and middle income residents to purchase homes at
prices they can afford,while building modest equity.
Chequamegon Bay United Impact Land Trust:Homes for Neighbors 1
●Provide an opportunity for elder Bayfield County residents to sell their homes into the
Land Trust,growing the portfolio of perpetually-affordable homes that will continue to
serve permanent regional residents.
●Develop and preserve affordable homes that can never be used as short-term rentals.
●Increase stable housing opportunities for residents that perform critical functions in the
community.
CheqBUILT hopes to have 75 permanently affordable homes in Trust in the first decade of its
operations,serving more than 300 residents.
We thank you for your careful consideration of this request.

More about CheqBUILT:
CheqBUILT’s VISION &MISSION
CheqBUILT envisions a vibrant community where all residents have housing that meets their
needs.CheqBUILT’s mission is to create and preserve permanently affordable housing for
Ashland and Bayfield County residents.
HOW DOES A LAND TRUST WORK?
CheqBUILT seeks to develop a portfolio of permanently affordable homes across Bayfield and
Ashland County.To achieve this,market value homes are purchased or developed by the
Land Trust.The Land Trust then sells a home at an affordable price to income-qualified
buyers,but maintains ownership of the land.This division of the property allows the
organization to enforce restrictions through a ground lease agreement,which includes a
resale formula to keep the home affordable in perpetuity,and prohibits use of the home as a
short-term rental.
In a Land Trust home,the affordable purchase price is often substantially lower than the
market value.The difference between the market value of the home and the affordable
purchase price is called the Affordability Gap.Funding to fill the Affordability Gap can be
made up of philanthropic contributions,combined with state and local grants,and business
contributions.Critically,the Affordability Gap investment stays with the home,not the
homeowner,when a Land Trust property sells.This means that the subsidy grows in value over
time,along with the value of the property.Paired with the resale formula,this model ensures
that Land Trust homes stay affordable for low and middle income households in perpetuity.
The resale formula allows the Land Trust homeowner to “pay it forward”and sell the home at
an affordable price,while capturing a modest 1%equity.
TIMELINE OF IMPORTANT EVENTS
AUGUST 2023
CheqBUILT Received a $50,000 grant from WHEDA to build the organizational infrastructure.

Establishing the Affordability Gap Fund for CheqBUILT
This pool of capital,made up primarily of transformative philanthropic contributions,
combined with state and local grants and business contributions,will be used to bridge the
gap between the cost of the home and what a qualified homeowner can afford.This
one-time contribution stays with the property,keeping the home perpetually affordable even
as it is bought and sold by future qualified buyers.CheqBUILT has asked Bayfield County to
seed this fund with $200,000.CheqBUILT has set the goal of raising $500,000 in 2025 for this
fund to cover the affordability gaps on its first acquisitions.
Bringing the first five homes into the Land Trust
These first five homes will be watershed for CheqBUILT,and provide an important “proof of
concept”benchmark.This is a lofty goal for CheqBUILT’s inaugural year of operations,but
with your support,it is possible.

No. 2024-xx
Resolution Supporting a Realistic Federal Definition of “Rural”
WHEREAS, increasing access to federal funding in Bayfield County is essential to the long-
term sustainability of county and municipal infrastructure; and,
WHEREAS, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law created the Rural Surface Transportation Grant
Program; and,
WHEREAS, the federal Department of Transportation defines “rural area” as an area that is
outside an urbanized area with a population of over 200,000. 23 U.S.C. Section 173(a)(2); and,
WHEREAS, the Rebuilding Rural Roads Act (H.R. 3002) and Protecting Infrastructure
Investments for Rural America Act (H.R. 5437) would reduce the definition of rural under the
Rural Surface Transportation Grant Program from 200,000 to 20,000 giving rural communities a
greater opportunity to access these grant funds and aligning with definitions used by the Small
Business Administration and USDA Office of Rural Development; and,
WHEREAS, H.R. 5437 would not only reduce the definition of rural to 20,000 but would also:
1. Clarify that the goal of the Rural Grant program is to promote economic development in
rural areas, as well as improve the quality of life for citizens who live in them;
2. Allow the grant to be used for common road, bridge, highway, or tunnel projects,
expanding the eligibility for more projects in rural areas;
3. Lower the cost-share burden for communities with populations less than 5,000,
increasing the likelihood projects in these communities can be completed in a timely
manner; and
4. Establish a set-aside of at least 5% of funding under the program to go to communities of
less than 5,000 in population, ensuring these communities receive federal assistance for
their infrastructure needs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors,
assembled this 27th day of August 2024, hereby supports the passage of the Rebuilding Rural
Roads Act (H.R. 3002) and Protecting Infrastructure Investments for Rural America Act (H. R.
5437); and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors urges the
Wisconsin Counties Association to support the passage of the Rebuilding Rural Roads Act (H. R.
3002) and Projecting Infrastructure Investments for Rural America Act (H.R. 5437); and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Clerk is directed to send copies of this
resolution to Senator Ron Johnson, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Representative Tom Tiffany, and
the Wisconsin Counties Association; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that publication of this resolution may occur through posting
in accordance with Section 985.02 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

In Opposition to H.R. 9111
WHEREAS, H.R. 9111 would redesignate the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as the
Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve, and for other purposes; and,
WHEREAS, the stated reason for the proposed redesignation is to increase tourism to create
economic growth by creating more jobs, private investment in hospitality facilities and services,
and public infrastructure investments; and,
WHEREAS, there were no local public informational meetings held to inform the public, the
tourist industry, and park users about the proposal which would have allowed the public to ask
questions, receive answers, and to offer their suggestions and input; and,
WHEREAS, there was no coordination with local governments or officials or meaningful
information, communication, consultation, or questions answered about the proposal with the
Native American Tribes, or the counties, towns, and cities that would be most affected by this
proposal prior to its being introduced in Congress; and,
WHEREAS, no feasibility study has been proposed or completed to establish what private and
public facilities, accommodations, and infrastructure would be required to accommodate more
tourists, as well what the Federal land and nearby communities’ capacities are for
accommodating more tourists; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal is much more than just a name change. Changing the Apostle Islands
National Lakeshore to a National Park and Preserve deserves a deliberate, thoughtful,
transparent, in-depth, and inclusive public process so all voices can be heard and their questions
answered; and,
WHEREAS, while tourism is a very large and important part of Bayfield County’s economy
which needs to be maintained, we need assistance to broaden and diversify our economy into
other sectors so that we are not overly reliant on only one economic sector. For example, the
County is a large producer of forest products, most of which are exported from the County for
value-added processing. We would welcome assistance in creating businesses that would process
and add value to our forest products; and,
WHEREAS, Native American rights on Reservation lands and Native American treaty rights to
hunt, fish and gather on ceded territory lands may be negatively affected; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal would prohibit hunting and trapping on approximately 39,000 acres of
land which are now open and available to these recreational activities; and,
WHEREAS, Designating Sand Island as a preserve would reduce the protection of the natural,
historical and cultural resources on the island since natural resource extractions and uses such as
mining and logging could be allowed and commercial development such as resorts and marinas
could be allowed; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal could negatively impact privately reserved rights and uses on Sand
and Rocky Islands; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal could negatively impact historical designated sites on the islands; and,
WHEREAS, the 1964 Wilderness Act defines wilderness as possessing "outstanding opportunities for
solitude" any significant increase in park visitation and use of the Gaylord Nelson Wilderness in the
Apostle Islands may damage and degrade those important opportunities; and,
WHEREAS, the proposal does not address the existing backlog of deferred maintenance on the Federal
property. Representative Tiffany, as chair of the US House of Representatives Subcommittee on Federal
Lands, is in a position to work with the both the House and Senate Appropriations committee to address
the deferred maintenance backlog before the property is redesignated as National Park which would
increase visitation rates; and,
WHEREAS, the Proposal does not address the resources and services the Park Service needs for both
the current visitation rates and for the anticipated increase in visitor use if it becomes a National Park.
This should be addressed before any consideration is given to redesignation as a National Park; and,
WHEREAS, the area that would be most affected by more tourists already has a shortage of
workers and housing that workers can afford. An increase in tourism will make the housing
shortage worse for all people of low to medium income levels. The proposal does not include
any Federal help or assistance to address these issues and needs; and,
WHEREAS, the area that would be most affected by more tourists already has a shortage of
emergency service personnel and facilities. The proposal does not include any Federal help or
assistance to address these issues and needs; and,
WHEREAS, the current National Lakeshore designation adequately and appropriately protects
the natural, cultural and historic resources while allowing for public use and enjoyment. The
proposal is a ’solution’ in search of a problem;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
assembled, this 27th day of August 2024, does hereby oppose H. R. 9111 which would
redesignate the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as the Apostle Islands National Park and
Preserve, and for other purposes; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be sent to all of Wisconsin’s elected
Federal Representatives and elected local State officials.

MEMO
To: Mark Abeles-Allison, Bayfield County Administrator
From: Jennifer Toribio-Warren, Executive Director
Date: July 2024
Re: Quarterly Report
In addition to the daily activities necessary to run the Housing Authorities, the following highlights
other activities over the past quarter: This also marks one year since the implementation of a full-time
administration assistant.
• Continued efforts with the Bayfield County Housing Authority; senior housing group in the
Town of Bell; Kelly Westlund; Mark Ables-Allision; David Fleming Sr., Office of Rural Prosperity
WEDC; Design Wisconsin; and many others focused on the phases of potentially developing
senior housing in the Town of Bell. We are eligible for $25,000 in 2024 that was submitted, and
an additional $25,000 in 2025. These funds will help with the efforts of a potential new
development.
In addition to the Thrive Rural Wisconsin initiative for senior housing, we also have Design
Wisconsin hosting a “Charrette” to help sketch out a vision for a new senior housing
development in Cornucopia. Initial planning meetings will lead up to the September 26th and
27th Charrette. We would like to welcome anyone interested in attending.
• The WHEDA foundation grant for the county property is complete. A roof was replaced at a
Bayfield housing property. The City of Washburn project will be complete at the end of July.
This involves heating and cooling in the Autumn Manor property.
• CheqBUILT has developed a 501 (c)(3) tax-exempt status for the CLT (Community Land Trust)
initiatives with Kelly Pederson, Kelly Westlund, Board Members, Jill with Minnesota Housing
Partners, and Jeff Washburne consultant. The next steps are to develop a plan with NWSCA
to hire an Executive Director for the CLT.
• Both the City and County Housing Authority have been working on much needed policy
updates, most recently approving a personnel policy. Next the housing authority will be

working on the Admissions and Occupancy policy, as HUD will be implementing new changes
soon.
• In May the Housing Authority received a contingency letter from WHEDA. This Low-Income
Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) application is to complete deferred maintenance work on 90 units
throughout the county.
• In June the Housing Authority submitted an FHLB of Chicago Affordable Housing Program
application for $2 million. This application will pair with the LIHTC application and is part of the
contingency, along with transfer and assumption with the USDA properties. This is all a
complex process; however, the planning and funding options are moving along nicely.
• The Housing Authority has stepped up efforts collaborating with Bayfield County Health and
Human Services to assist some of the most vulnerable tenants in need. I am very pleased
about how successful these efforts have been. Some programs that have been utilized are
Meals on Wheels, Energy Assistance, Aging and Disability programs for health and safety
concerns, and Behavioral Health Case Manager.
• Housing conducted a short survey with the tenants regarding internet and affordable internet
options. The County Administrator was able to use this information in collaboration with other
programs and businesses to submit a PSC digital connectivity grant that could supply internet
to all housing tenants over the next 7 years. This grant was also to allow for devices and
staffing at libraries and other areas throughout the county.
• It has now been a year since we have had a full-time Administrator Assistant. This has truly
helped the administration of the Housing Authority in many ways. There has been very good
timely correspondence with tenants, we have saved thousands of dollars in health care cost by
switching to the Wisconsin ETF insurance, we have submitted successful grant applications,
we continue to process many applications, and we have undergone a higher than usual unit
turnover.
