Item 5. Dan and Dawn Kegler are the Counties UDC inspectors. They will share a 2024
report with the Committee. They will also discuss an option for the county to contract
direct with R&M for State Commercial Electrical Inspections. The State bids this out every

Programmatic options: Will have on Thursday
Item 7: The Board has discussed Board compensation several times over the past year, I
need help with some parameters to put a formal proposal together. Here is some basic
background and some questions.
• Current payment per “meeting” is $75, County Board $100, max per day, $100, not
including mileage.
1. Continue definition of meetings as designated committee/board meetings with
published agendas?
2. Should there be a daily max?
3. What should the per meeting rate be?
4. What should the county board meeting rate be:
5. Should there be a set rate for an out of county training day?
6. Should a committee member receive same or different pay as a supervisor sitting in
on a committee?
7. Other
Item 8. Attached is a budget amendment for zoning, moving dollars from CIP to the
General Fund for document scanning.
Item 9. Contingency Fund Request for $3800 for the installation of a video conferencing
unit in the new Human Services sections. This was not included in the original application

2. Is/was there a facility at this site?
Yes
No
Size of facility (sq ft)1620
3. Provide a brief, written history of the site.
This site consists of .92 acres, two 550 gallon tank (one leaded, one unleaded), and a structure that has been used as a
small gas station, grocery store, and home. The tanks were removed on May 11,1998 and shortly afterwards, the soil
was found to be impacted by petroleum discharge. At the time the property was owned by Donald J. & Carol J.
Kontny who had purchased it from Jill Marie Nelson in March 1998. This ownership transfer may have been what
prompted the tank removal. The contamination was confirmed by a GRO analysis of 5900 to 14,5000 ppm. There
are a total of 5 adjacent parcels, totalling .92 acres, which were under the same ownership and may have been
contaminated. All parcels have had ownership changes a few times since the initial brownfield status determination,
eventually becoming tax foreclosed and transferred to Bayfield County ownership. One parcel was foreclosed in
2018 and the other four were foreclosed in 2023. To our knowledge, no remedial action has been taken by previous
owners to change the site's brownfield status. To our knowledge, the business has not been in operation since before
the tanks were pulled. Bayfield County would like to reassess the site's brownfield status and conduct any necessary
remedial action.

1. Is the person who caused or is suspected to have caused the environmental contamination financially able to contribute to theassessment and/or cleanup?Yes No
a. If yes, describe any reasons the DNR would want to participate in this project. What would the overall benefit be tothe community?

c. Explain why assistance under this program is needed and what is the likely result if such assistance cannot beprovided.Bayfield County intends to sell the parcels via a tax foreclosure auction, but would like to first reassess and, if
necessary, remediate the site so it's no longer considered a brownfield.
Section 4 - Part B: Applicant Ownership If the applicant owns the site, complete all the questions in this section.

a.If yes, provide details.
b.If no, describe the possible causers of contamination, and their ability to clean it up.
Since 1998 the DNR has been in communication with the previous owners who caused contamination. The
DNR's attempts to get any previous owners to clean up the site have been unsuccessful. One of the owners at the
time of tank removal have since passed away. I'm not sure if this person is the causer of contamination or the
owner from before 1998 caused the problem. We are unsure if the pre-1998 owner is still alive or where they can
be reached.

RE: Request for capital improvement – new incubator for water lab
Background
The existing incubator in the water laboratory is 2 cubic feet.
The space is limited to approximately 20 bacteria tests and 10 beach tests per day.
With the closure of Northland College, we have been approached by the Wisconsin DNR, Bad River
Tribe, Friends of Apostle Islands and Red Cliff to accept more bacteria tests and beach tests in the
upcoming months.
We do charge $25 for each of these tests, however, the small incubator will limit our ability to accept
more samples.
Request
Our department is requesting approval to purchase a larger 2 door incubator that is at least 10 cubic
feet. A 2 door incubator would allow us to keep drinking water samples separate from beach samples,
that may be subject to environmental contamination. Cost of the new incubator plus shipping would be
$6800 - $8000. There would not be any installation expenses.
Resources
Our department would have increased revenue. This would recuperate the expense of the incubator
after approximately 1 year. We charge $25 per sample, $8 of which goes toward the cost of the
supplies. The rest is revenue for the department. We expect 160 samples this year from Ashland
Beaches, 187 samples from Bad River Natural Resources, 40 samples from Friends of the Apostle Islands.

Initial 2025-2027 Wisconsin Biennial Budget Summary
by WCA Issue Areas
February 18, 2025
TAXATION AND FINANCE
Sales Tax: The Governor’s budget eliminates sales tax on electricity and natural gas sold for
residential use.
Tax Incremental Financing: The Governor’s budget modifies current TTF law to allow
municipalities to use districts to spur the creation of workforce housing by lifting the current law
limitation on the share of a mixed-use district’s area that can be used for newly plated residential
development form 35 percent to 60 percent if that additional 25 percent is comprised of
workforce housing. Also, the budget extends the current law impact fee exemption or reduction
provisions to apply to workforce housing.
Housing: The Governor’s budget creates a zoning incentive Pilot Program and provides $20
million GPR to increase affordable housing by incentivizing local units of government to adopt
policy initiatives that eliminate zoning barriers to foster affordable housing developments.
Levy Limits: The Governor’s budget creates a new county property tax freeze incentive program
to provide aid payments to counties that commit to holding the line on property taxes. Counties
that certify they did not increase their levy in the previous year will receive aid payments based
on the revenue a 3 percent levy would have generated.
Service Mergers: The Governor’s budget eliminates a disincentive for local government service
consolidation by removing the required negative levy limit adjustment that the transferring
government must take when transferring the provision of a service to another government.
Transit: The Governor’s budget allows for the creation of regional transit authorities statewide
to empower local governments to improve their transportation infrastructure.
Medical and Fire Services: The Governor’s budget encourages service sharing between local
units of government on emergency medical services and fire protection by broadening the types
of service sharing arrangements that qualify for the levy limit adjustments related to service
sharing.
County Sale Tax: The Governor’s budget allows counties (except Milwaukee) to impose an
additional sales tax of up to 0.5% to diversify local revenue sources and better empower local
governments to fund police and fire protection, transit, roads, and other services, if approved via
referendum.
Federal Judiciary: The Governor’s budget provides more than $1.1 million over the biennium
to support towns and counties impacted by a federal court decision that reduced their property
tax base.
County Referenda: The Governor’s budget removes restrictions of advisory referenda.
Utility Aid: The Governor’s budget amends utility aid to include utility-owned storage facilities
in the calculation of share revenue utility aid payments.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT
Collective Bargaining:
• Establish collective bargaining rights for state and local government front-line workers.
Front line workers are defined as employees with a substantial portion of job duties
interacting with members of the public or large populations or directly involved
maintenance of public works.
• Expand collective bargaining rights for municipal and state public safety workers, transit
employees, and front-line workers to allow collective bargaining over the employer-paid
share of health insurance premiums.
• Eliminate the annual recertification requirement for state and local government
bargaining units, as well as the provision that approval by a majority of bargaining unit
members, instead of majority of the vote, is required to certify.
Just Cause Standard: Require local government employers to include a just cause standard of
review of termination in their grievance procedures. Additionally, require existing local
government grievance procedures to address employee discipline and workplace safety issues.
Retired Annuitants: Improve Wisconsin's workforce and pipeline with experienced
professionals by authorizing state agencies and local units of government, including schools, to
rehire a retired annuitant to address workforce recruitment and retention issues, if: (a) at least 30
days have passed since the employee left employment; (b) at the time of retirement, the
employee does not have an agreement to return to employment; and (c) upon returning to work,
the employee elects to not become a participating employee and continue receiving their annuity.
Broadband:
• Invest $400 million GPR over the biennium for the Broadband Expansion Grant program.
This historic investment will build upon the Governor's previous directed investments
and other state and federally funded broadband expansion efforts ensuring the state will
continue to invest in broadband infrastructure in remote and difficult-to-serve areas that
may not be served by federal funding.
• Modify current law to protect Wisconsin consumers by requiring broadband service
providers to meet certain service requirements, including prohibiting a broadband service
provider from denying service to residential customers based on race or income and
requiring providers to award credits to customers' internet bills based on service outages.
Provide a 1.0 FTE PR position and associated funding to the Wisconsin Department of
Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to enforce these provisions.
CVSOs: Provide $129,200 SEG over the biennium to increase state grants to support County
and Tribal Veterans Service Offices. Veterans service offices are the primary point of contact for
veterans and advocates in navigating the benefits veterans have earned.
Elections:
• Enable the Wisconsin Elections Commission to reimburse counties and municipalities for
certain costs incurred in the administration of special primaries and special elections by
creating a GPR sum sufficient appropriation for this purpose.
• Allow a county or municipal clerk to canvass absentee ballots on the day before an
election after working with the Wisconsin Elections Commission to ensure the canvass
will be conducted fairly and effectively.
• Modify the scheduling of special elections to ensure they are scheduled with sufficient
time to comply with federal requirements for sending ballots to military and overseas
voters.
ROD Recording Fee: Provide more than $16.5 million SEG over the biennium and increase the
register of deeds document recording fee from $30 to $45 to provide additional funding to
county land information offices in light of increasing workloads from recent legislation.
Domestic Partnership: Reinstate domestic partnership benefits for all state and local
government employee insurance programs administered by the Wisconsin Department of
Employee Trust Funds. These benefits were eliminated under 2017 Wisconsin Act 59, effective
January 1, 2018.
JUDICIAL AND PUBLIC SAFETY
Circuit Court Funding: Provide more than $24.5 million GPR in fiscal year 2025-26 and $70
million GPR in fiscal year 2026-27 for increased court support payments. In order to be eligible
for the funding, a county must offer a treatment, alternative, or diversion program. Additionally,
transfer 3.0 FTE GPR positions from the Wisconsin Department of Justice to the Director of
