OCTOBER 7, EXEC COMMITTEE NARRATIVE
Item 4. Attached is a Digital Navigator Grant budget amendment. This is a two-year grant.
More expenditures are being paid in 2025 than anticipated due to rule changes. The two main
contractors are Norvado (providing housing authority internet) and NWWIB (Mari Kay
Nabozny) providing digital navigator staffing.
Item 5. Bayfield County Criminal Justice received a grant for a State Intervention Training
program. Revenues balance with Expenditures.
Item 6: Below are seven discussion topics that may require additional study and discussion,
several of these are topics from the WCA conference. Staff is prepared for a general introduction
with the potential for more detailed discussion in the months ahead.
A. At the WCA Conference a recommendation to Board Supervisors to evaluate existing
Board Rules came up. Attached are Bayfield County’s current Board rules (link below
and in packet). Jan Lee shared WCA Counsel’s list of 10 important rules all Counties
should address as shown below. Lynn Divine has recommended starting with a
comprehensive review of the WCA Rules summary, included in the packet.
CURRENT BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD RULES LINK:
https://bayfieldcounty.wi.gov/DocumentCenter/View/1801/Title-2---Chapter-2?bidId=
This is a topic that may require multiple months of discussion and review. WCA is willing to
provide assistance as well.
B. The term “self organized counties” refers to counties that have adopted an ordinance
invoking state authority given in statutes 59.10(1). The authority allows counties to
address three topics:
1. Allowance for staggered terms of supervisors.
2. More flexibility with Board compensation.
3. Filling vacancies in the office of county supervisor, adopting our own procedures.
Here is a link to an educational document. A copy is in the packet also.
https://localgovernment.extension.wisc.edu/files/2021/02/Fact-Sheet-8_-Self-Organized-
Counties.pdf
This is a topic that may require additional time to discuss and review. WCA is willing to provide
assistance as well.
C. The Tourism Committee is considering naming a building after a donor. The County
does not have a policy regarding this. Attached are two county policy examples. Initial
questions might be:
a. Does the county want to establish a countywide naming policy?
b. Should this be for buildings only or other county infrastructure as well?
c. Should both individuals and businesses be considered?
d. If a business is considered, how do we set contribution amounts? Would a service
contribution alone qualify or should some cash contribution be required as well?
e. What is the term of the naming period?
We anticipate having this discussion over several meetings but wanted to share some basic
information to get the conversation started. This topic is prompted by a business inquiring about
making a contribution of service in exchange for naming rights at the county fairgrounds.
D. Human Services has a risk reserve budget in the amount of $635,000 today. This is used
to pay major, state-mandated, unplanned expenses, such as out-of-home placements. As
fees for these services increase, there is concern that our current balances may be
insufficient. The Human Services Committee recently discussed this. Discussion is
ongoing and Executive Committee involvement requested.
E. Updates to the County Procurement policy are needed to comply with state and federal
rules. Attached is a marked up copy of the policy.
F. Bayfield and Ashland Counties are considering an application for a State Innovation
Grant for our joint dispatch project and for a possible Countywide EMS initiative.
Applications are due by March of 2026. We are investigating options under the State’s
new terms and conditions. Key issues are a 3-5 year agreement, an agreement after Nov
2024 and cost limit provisions.
G. The budget for Animal Control is significantly ($28k) over budget due to horse expenses
in 2025. We anticipate some additional expenses in the months ahead. We will have a
request for a budget amendment at the next meeting. I wanted the Committee to be
aware of additional expenses.
Item 7. Reports summary
a. Financial Report:
1. General Fund Rev and Exp: 72% / 66%, balance up $800k from 2024.
2. Human Service Rev and Exp: 61% and 63%, balance down $950k from 2024
3. Highway Rev and Expense: 71% and 40%: balance up $2.2 million
4. County Wide / All Funds, Revenue and Expenses: 72%/61%, balance up $3.3
million
b. Treasurer report shows the monthly balance up $1.2 million from this time last year.
c. The State Legislature continues to update the Judicial Privacy Policy, Act 235. The
act is implemented once a request is made. As of this date Bayfield County has not
had any updates. Once final state review is completed that county will propose its
policy.
d. Bayfield and Ashland Counties were notified of an Intergovernmental Award by the
Policy Forum for the Joint Dispatch project. Very exciting.

Dougherty arrived at this time and assumed oversight of the meeting.
Resolution and Ordinance Recommendations to Full Board
Updated Animal Control Ordinance: Abeles-Allison reported that the updated ordinance has
been reviewed by Corporation Counsel and has been recommended.
Motion Strand, Milanowski to forward Ch 1, Regulation of Animals updated ordinance to full
county board as proposed with recommendation for approval. Motion Carried (5-0).
Energy Project Budget Amendment Resolution: The Towns and County Department Of
Energy is being expedited. The 2025 budget is proposed to be amended in the amount of $1.67
million. 80% is covered by the Feds, towns and Xcel are covering 20% on their projects.
County is covering 20% on our projects. All municipal and county out of pocket will be covered
through the federal Direct Pay reimbursement program in 2027. The county has three project bid
groups underway.
Motion Milanowksi, Lee to forward the Energy Project Budget Amendment Resolution as
presented to the full county board with recommendation for approval. Motion Carried (5-0)
Updated HUD Grant and Ondossagon School Budget Amendment Resolution: The HUD
grant included $100,000 in county admin / housing related expenses. The owners of the old
2
Ondossagon School (Retos) together with the Town of Barksdale and Northwest Regional
Planning, C&S design and the County are working on the first phase, a WEDC site assessment
grant. The grant requires a match. The resolution authorizes $30k of the $100k in HUD funds
towards this effort. Abeles-Allison reported that no action is necessary on this item at this time.
Resolution Supporting Bayfield County Infrastructure and Community Development
Landmark Restoration Projects for State of Wisconsin:
Motion Lee, Milanowski to forward the resolution supporting Bayfield County’s Infrastructure
and Community Development Landmark Restoration Projects for the State of Wisconsin to the
full county board with recommendation for approval. Motion Carried (5-0)
Pocernich joined the meeting at this time.
Budget Changes/Notes Spreadsheet: Mattson reported that levy funds must be budgeted in the
General (100) Fund. For this reason, levy in the proposed budget for specific projects in the
Capital Improvement (430) Fund will need to be budgeted in the 100 fund and then be
transferred to the 430 fund.
Department Presentations:
a. Forestry / Carbon PAGE 168 / 247: Bodine presented information about the status of the
carbon program. No revenues have been budgeted and there is not enough
data/experience to accurately budget for this. It is anticipated that this will be a budget
item in 2027 going forward.
b. Capital Improvements: PAGE 199: Abeles-Allison explained that this fund is used for
one-time purchases and projects, keeping only ongoing operating expenses within actual
department operating budgets. A list of the items included in the proposed budget was
reviewed. Pocernich commented that he is concerned that the proposed expenditures are
75% higher than 2025 and that at least $1 million should be cut. Committee members
noted that several of the projects in the proposed budget will have grant funding to offset
at least a portion of the expenses. Total expenditures are proposed at about $3million.
$800,000 is short-term borrowing for Northern Lights and Courthouse maintenance
projects. $1million is proposed to be transferred from the general fund and $543,000 of
CIP fund balances will also be applied. Grants provide about $700,000 of revenue to
offset the grant expenses. Comment was shared that maintaining a 25% undesignated
fund balance should be maintained. The budget, as proposed would reduce the fund
balance to 21%. The committee could eliminate some expenses utilizing fund balance or
could increase the mill rate to pay for the proposed projects/purchases. The committee
discussed the current assigned fund balances and if any of the assigned fund balances
should be modified or eliminated to maintain a 25% unassigned fund balance. Discussed
reducing Compensated balances to $400,000 (reduce by $350,000). If the mill rate were
kept the same as 2025, it would increase the short term borrow to $6.55 million and
reduce the fund balance utilization by $200,000. This would also maintain the minimum
25% in the unassigned balances. The committee discussed modifications to the Capital
Improvement budget: CheqBuilt allocation modified to $150,000. Remove the floor
3
strip/clean/wax and include as a regular operating expense. Postpone the parking lot
chipseal for 1 year. Postpone the zero-turn lawnmower for 1 year. Remove $15k for
replacement snowmobile for Sheriff’s Office Remove $10,000 dump trailer for Tourism.
Remove $600 for UW Shed repair. Allocate $15k to design Zoning offices (reduced
from $105k). Remove $12,000 Forestry ATV. Reduce park building infrastructure
evaluation to $10k (was $20k). Add $50k of Revenue for EndPoint Protection
(anticipating grant funding). Remove $67,000 for computer software in Human Services.
Abeles-Allison reviewed the list of Northern Lights CIP items. Dougherty stated that
Northern Lights is contributing $150k toward CIP items, which they have not been able
to do in the past. Add court office improvements back in for $44,070. Add $1.1 million
for ERP, using short term borrowing for the purchase. Reduce assigned fund balance for
Boilers by $650,000.
c. Energy Project: PAGE 264. This item not discussed
d. County Board: PAGE 78. This item not discussed
e. Agency Requests: PAGE 280
f. Fund Balance: PAGE 26 Discussed earlier in the meeting.
Short-Term Borrow Amounts:
County Board will need to take action on short-term borrowing at the September 30th meeting.
$6.55 million is proposed to include Highway Projects, Courthouse Dome, Northern Lights
Capital Improvements, and ERP system.
Motion Lee, Rekemeyer to recommend $6.55 million in short term borrowing to the full county
board with recommendation for approval. Motion Carried (6-0)
Committee was asked if they would like to discuss any other topics related to the 2026 budget.
Abeles-Allison stated that the budget does include $50,000 for Bayfield County Economic
Development Corporation. The committee had discussion about the results coming from BCEDC
and that future funding will be dependent upon continued results.
Changes Spreadsheet: The spreadsheet summarizing the changes discussed during the meeting
was reviewed.
2026 Budget Expenditures and Levy and Recommendation to the Full Board:
Motion Milanowski, Rekemeyer to forward the proposed 2026 budget and levy to the full county
board with the changes reviewed on the budget changes spreadsheet. Motion Carried (6-0)
No additional meetings will be needed.
Meeting adjourned at 6:30 pm.

SECTION 1: PURPOSE AND DEFINITIONS
1.01 Purpose
The [ ● ] County Board of Supervisors (referred to as the “County Board” or “Board”)
recognizes and understands the importance of county government, and the programs and services
it provides, to the citizens of [ ● ] County. The County Board further recognizes County citizens’
rightful expectation that the financial resources provided the County through tax levy and other
sources be invested in a wise and deliberate matter. Therefore, in recognition of these principles,
the County Board hereby adopts the following County Board Rules (referred to as “Board Rules”
or “Rules”) in order to promote orderly and efficient rules of governance for the County Board
and all county-related governmental bodies.
1.02 Interpretation
These Board Rules are not intended to, and shall not, supersede any requirements or
provisions in the Wisconsin Statutes. In the event of any conflict between the Wisconsin Statutes
and these Board Rules, the Wisconsin Statutes shall take precedence.
SECTION 2 COUNTY BOARD ORGANIZATION1
2.01 County Board Meetings
The two-year period of time between the organizational meetings in Section 2.01(A) hereof
shall constitute a session of the County Board, and any business pending and upon which the Board
has not acted prior to the close of a session can no longer be acted upon without being reintroduced.
(A) The Organizational Meeting. On the third Tuesday in April in even-
numbered years, after each Spring general election at which County Board
Members are elected for full terms, the County Board will meet and shall:
1. Organize and transact general business;
2. Elect a member Board Chair to perform the duties set forth in Wis.
Stat. § 59.12(1);
3. Elect a member Vice Chair to perform the duties set forth in Wis.
Stat. § 59.12(2); and
1 WCA encourages counties to adopt self-organized status under Wis. Stat. § 59.10(1). According to the Secretary
of State, as of January 1, 2024, 52 counties are self-organized. If a county codifies its board rules in ordinance, a
simple means by which to become self-organized is to make the selection in Section 2 of these board rules and file a
copy of the ordinance with the Secretary of State’s office.
4
4. Committee Appointment Process
OPTION - Elect the five (5) at-large members of the Committee on
Committees, who will then appoint committees.

Bayfield County Board of Supervisors, Revised Oct xx 7, 2025
Section 1: Purchasing
General
The purpose of this policy is to require all Bayfield County officials and employees to adhere to
purchasing procedures in a manner that builds public confidence and preserves the integrity of an
open, fair, transparent, and competitive procurement process conducted under strict ethical
guidelines.
Our specific goal is to ensure effective and efficient procurement of goods and services
consistent with quality and delivery needs at the lowest cost for the best value for the taxpayers
of Bayfield County.
Applicable Laws, Codes, and Ordinances
To achieve our goals, we maintain strict compliance with all federal, state, and local laws.
Purchasing authority is granted by sections 59.52(9) and 66.0131 of the Wisconsin Statutes and
by Bayfield County Ordinance Title 3, Chapter 1 and OMB Standards 2 CFR 200.
Procurement Process
Offices and Departments shall use a bidding process in purchasing unless otherwise
provided in this policy and even if not required are encouraged to do so. Awards shall be
made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. In determining the lowest responsible
bidder, the purchasing agent may consider cost of operation over the life of the item. When
comparing bids or quotes, the following elements shall be considered: price, conformity with
original specifications, warranty, delivery date (if specified), and freight charges. Upon
reviewing the bid results, the purchasing agent may elect to solicit additional bids. Department
Heads and Elected Officials and the County Administrator will be the agents of record for
purchasing and shall ensure the requirements for competitive bidding have been met.
Except as permitted by the sole source purchase provisions of this policy, all purchasing agents
shall follow the procedures as established by the County policy based on the amount of the
purchase. No purchase of a single good or commodity at the same general time may be divided
into separate purchases to qualify for a lower threshold of approval.
Bayfield County will not contract with vendors debarred by federal, state, or local governments.
All employees with purchasing authority must file an annual conflict-of-interest disclosure.
Procurement Provisions: Identify the need and estimated cost. All procurements must be
budgeted.

the process to be used in obtaining bids and price quotations:

require County Administrator and County Board Chair Approval.
b. Project and purchases on behalf of the Children’s Long-term Services (CLTS) and
Children’s Community Options Program (CCOP) are exempt from this

purchase for transparancytransparency.
d. Emergency purchases above $100,000 must be ratified by the County Board at the
next regular meeting.
D. State Contract Purchases. An Elected Official or Department Head may use State of
Wisconsin for purchasing any products or services that are available to local
governments. By using this method of purchase, the requirement of bidding items will be
exempted due to the state or national agency having already bid the item. Further, the
State contract amount may be used as price comparisons for the competitive bidding
requirements for identical items.
E. Federal Grant Procurement Guidelines. When using federal funds and grants, federal
procurement guidelines are to be followed in some cases overruling state and local
procurement guidelines. Uniform guidance when using federal funds and grants for
procurement are as follows for obtaining bids and price quotations:

contract supported by a Federal award if he or she has a real or apparent conflict of interest. Such
a conflict of interest would arise when the employee, officer, or agent, any member of his or her
immediate family, his or her partner, or an organization which employs or is about to employ any
of the parties indicated herein, has a financial or other interest in or a tangible personal benefit
from a firm considered for a contract. The standards of conduct must provide for disciplinary
