New Business (Review / Action)
Ehlers Investment Partners Presentation (Tami Olszewski)
Finance Director Steve Wipperfurth introduced Tami Olszewski, Ehlers Investment Partners. Tami presented a
portfolio overview which included: economic update; U.S. Treasury rates; Federal funds rates; safety -
preservation of principal, risk mitigation, diversification; liquidity – core vs. liquid funds; yield – fixed rate vs.
variable rate, buy and hold, General Fund investment summary, and General Fund cash projection.
Airport Project Costs Overruns
Administrator Ken Pabich explained on July 9th Airport Manager Craig Ross was informed the project was over
budget. The County is responsible for half of the overage; total overage approximately $486,000; County share
$243,000. Our FBO has already lost significant revenue and will continue to lose revenue the longer the runway
is closed. A Federal Block Grant has been identified 90/5/5 split. At this time no one is willing to answer
questions on direct performance contract issues and the overruns of $280,000 were never discussed/conveyed
Page 2 of 37
to the County. From a critical path stand point the County needs to move this project forward by delegating
$149,000 to get the airport open. Authoring the payment still allows the County to move forward to mitigate
damages.
The resolution outlines the Bureau of Aeronautics retained Westwood Professional Services to design and
oversee the Project, and Northeast Asphalt, Inc. to perform the construction work. A substantial portion of the
Project cost is funded with Federal and State funds. It is estimated that the Project cost will exceed the contract
amount of $5,874,978.32 by $485,965 requiring additional funds to complete the Project. Federal funds
earmarked for future Cherryland Airport projects are available to pay a portion of the overage. Wisconsin Statute
§ 114.34(1) prohibits the State from paying more than one-half of the excess costs. $149,940.80 is required, in
addition to Federal and State funding, to make the improved runway and taxiway operational. An undetermined
additional amount may be required to complete the Project, which will be addressed at a later date if necessary.
The Finance Committee recommends that an amount not to exceed $149,940.80 be transferred from
Contingency Expense to Capital Outlay expense to fund the overage amount necessary to make the improved
runway and taxiway operational. It was suggested our State Legislators be made aware of this issue.
Motion by Vogel, seconded by Jeanquart to approve an amount to cover the overage not to exceed
$149,940.80. Motion carried by voice vote.
Motion by Jeanquart, seconded by Vogel, stating that the current situation is not acceptable to the Committee
and directing Administrator Pabich and Corporation Counsel Donohue to investigate potential mitigation options
and report their findings and recommendations back to the Committee. Motion carried by voice vote.
Setting Minimum Bid for Foreclosure Sale – Treasurer
Treasurer Ryan Schley explained the Finance Committee has the authority to establish the appraisal value for
properties being offered for sale due to tax foreclosure. The County used this approach last year when obtaining
a reasonable independent appraisal was not feasible. Last year, the Committee chose to use the Estimated Fair
Market Value listed on the most recent property tax bill as the appraisal value and established that amount as
the minimum bid for the initial sale attempt. There are two properties in year’s sale: Parcel #0220304282714Z7
with a FMV of $40,700 and Parcel #1270028262534N with a FMV of $20,300.
Motion by Jeanquart, seconded by Zettel to approve using the Estimated Fair Market Values of the
properties to advertise as the minimum bid. Motion carried by voice vote.
3-Year Land Records Life Cycle Extension Contract with Fidlar Technologies – Register of Deeds
Register of Deeds Carey Petersilka reviewed the contract included in the meeting packet. This is a 3-year
contract with a 3% increase each year invoiced the first year. Cost of the contract is $25,901 annually.
Motion by Jeanquart, seconded by Cain-Bieri to approve the 3-year Land Records Life Cycle Contract as
presented. Motion carried by voice vote.
Resolution No. 2026-__Emergency Repair Landfill Leachate Pump Repairs
The leachate pump has stopped functioning and is no longer capable of supporting required landfill operations,
creating an urgent need for replacement in order to maintain regulatory compliance and prevent interruption in
leachate management. The Highway Department, with support of the Door County Administrator, deemed it
appropriate and necessary to replace the leachate pump at a cost not to exceed $25,000.
Motion by Vogel, second by Jeanquart to approve the resolution as presented. Motion carried by voice vote.
Allocation of Special Projects Fund
Administrator Pabich noted as part of the budget process the Special Project Funds were discussed. Health &
Human Services Director Joe Krebsbach reviewed the HHS Special Funds and reported the Childcare Facilities
reserve will be closed out soon; the electronic beach signs will be combined with other funds; the sober living
facility was initially for purchasing a residential house. A small amount of the funds were used for a study of a
sober living facility and some start-up money for rent and furniture for the contracted manager of the sober living
facility. Approximately $70,000 has been spent on a sober living facility between County funds and grants
Page 3 of 37
received. Krebsbach does not believe purchasing a sober living house is feasible at this time. Krebsbach
recommends combing the sober living funds along with the Opioid Settlement funds and then using those funds
for the following: the required funding match for Treatment Court; use one of the current 980 houses at the
Justice Center for a male sober living facility; rent a home to use for female sober living facility (approximate cost
$3,000/month); hire a DTE to staff the sober living facility (a peer support person); and implement a treatment
support app. All funds available would be used over the course of 5 years. Supervisor Cain-Bieri expressed her
concerns with starting new programs with the uncertainty of Federal funding for the overall department. Cain-
Bieri suggested keeping the reserve funds for HHS given the uncertainty of funding. Supervisor Zettel suggested
supporting Krebsbach’s proposal for sober living services and relabeling the reserve funds to sober living
services. Supervisor Englebert cautioned moving forward on dedicating the reserve funds to sober living
services. There needs to be reportable, measurable outcome. Krebsbach noted at this time there is no option for
the County to contract for sober living services. The County will need to decide if we want to undertake moving
forward with sober living services. The consensus at this time is to retain the HHS reserve funds. CC Donohue
noted the Opioid funds are restricted funds and must be used in a specific way. Krebsbach will create a proposal
and 5-year spending plan and bring the proposal through committees.
Krebsbach noted he has concerns about ADRC operations over the next 5-years. Costs continue to increase.
Krebsbach does not believe we can continue current operations beyond the next 3-years. The goal of ADRC is
to keep the elderly population independent and in their own homes as long as possible. Krebsbach is looking to
establish an endowment fund to support long-term programs. Krebsbach asked the Committee to look at using
some of the $286,000 of ‘Other Reserves’ to off-set the costs at the ADRC. There is a concern with the ADRC
2027 budget. Committing reserves to off-set the ADRC budget is a band aid fix; a long-term plan needs to be
presented. Krebsbach noted the meals program is not required services. If there is no additional funding the
meal program as a whole will need to be scaled back. Administrator Pabich noted other departments may also
want to request use of the ‘Other Reserves’. Overall, long-term plans need to be established rather than
committing funds for short-term fixes.
First Review of Proposed 2027-2031 Capital Improvements Program (C.I.P.)
Finance Director Wipperfurth reviewed information included in the meeting packet which included projects,
estimated costs, and funding sources. Wipperfurth noted this is a plan, this does not commit the County to move
forward to complete any of the proposed projects. The 2027-2031 CIP has been built into the 2027 budget.
Today is the first look by the Committee with the second review in August. The CIP can be amended, changed,
or adjusted at any time. Supervisor Zettel recommends contacting the municipalities who have stated in the past
they support a middle EMS station to determine what the commitment will be to offset the costs. Future building
and maintenance costs of our buildings is an area of concern. Administrator Pabich explained there is a reserve
established for such costs which will help to off-set larger building and equipment repairs.

than $100,000 - $24,135. Immel has reviewed all bids and all bids are qualifying. Review of performance and
payment bond for subcontracts. Discussion regarding contract language, is the contract favorable to the County;
what governs the work; completion deadline and assurance of that deadline; is this one contract or individual
contracts with each contractor; FFE has a large cost range – dependent upon final numbers there may be room
for AV or extra items; all costs for leased space are the responsibility of the lessee. Supervisors expressed their
concerns with the project and the costs related, operating costs, and future unknown costs.

Unassigned Fund Balance is designed to serve as a measure of the fund's
financial resources available for appropriation and has a direct impact on
bond ratings and borrowing power of the county.
Current Unassigned Fund Balance 19,497,583.22$
General Fund Budgeted Expenditures - 2026 59,074,587.00$
All Other Budgeted Funds Requiring Tax Levy - 2026 28,475,111.00$
The County's current unassigned fund balance of 19,497,583.22$ represents approximately 22.27030%
of its governmental funds budgeted expenditures. This level of funding is above the
the 12%-15% reserve funding levels set forth in Resolution 72-03 adopted August 26, 2003.
From the policy: 12% is the base per County Board Policy at which point the County would never
want to let the unassigned fund balance reserved for working capital go below.
Note:
The amount above (below) the upper limit of 15% which, if above, could
be a consideration for unforeseen expenditures 6,365,128.52$
15% Upper Limit would equate to an unassigned fund balance of 13,132,454.70$
12% Lower Limit would equate to an unassigned fund balance of 10,505,963.76$

Re: July 31st Update
I wanted to provide an update on how things went with the second installment tax due date
falling on a Friday this year.
I was in the office until noon on Friday, answering phone calls and checking the drop box.
There were only two letters in the drop box when I left. I returned at 1:30 p.m. and found five
voicemails to return, along with approximately 10–15 letters in the drop box. Those payments
were retrieved and placed in the office.
I came back again at 4:00 p.m. and had only one voicemail to return. At that time, there were
approximately 15–20 letters in the drop box, which were also collected and placed in the
office.
On Saturday morning, there were four letters in the drop box and no voicemails. On Monday
morning, there were three letters and no voicemails.
At no point on Friday was the drop box more than half full when I arrived to empty it.
As in previous years, I sent a press release to the local media outlets two weeks before the due
date, and Lori sent it out again three days before the due date. I believe those communications
were sufficient to inform the public that office hours would not be extended, even though the
due date fell on a Friday.

FROM: Joseph Krebsbach, HHS Director
RE: Use of Special Project Funds
I am writing to ask that the finance committee consider designating $200,000 of reserves from the Special Project Funds
to be used to support ADRC operations over the next three years. Typically, I would not ask to use one-time funding for
operations, as this creates a structural deficit that only moves a fiscal problem further down the road. However, I
believe the county has a looming challenge at the ADRC.
We all know that the population in the county is aging and that we are on a projection to have well above average
number of people over the ages of 60 and 85 as compared to other counties in the state. Seniors are the primary users
of services at the ADRC. As our population ages, so will the demands for services.
We have a balanced budget in place for 2027. However, when projecting for 2028 we are looking at over a $90,000
short fall just based on a projected increase in employee cost. This does not factor in other inflationary costs such as
food, gas and electricity. As it looks currently, we will either need to cut services or request additional tax levy. Cutting
services, as we are heading toward more people needing them, does not seem prudent.
Management has already begun work with the Community Foundation to try and establish a fund that could help
support services. We are hopeful that we may be able to create a community-government partnership that could help
with the anticipated growth in services. The goal is to create an endowment fund large enough to maintain and support
ongoing annual funding needs.
One of the things that the ADRC is best known for is the Meals on Wheels (MOW) and Congregate means program. This
service helps to provide a healthy meal to those wishing to participate. More significantly, it opens the door to other
important services offered by the ADRC. For individuals who are home bound, receiving MOW also allows us stay
connected and ensure they are doing well. It is a friendly face and someone to interact with, which is often their only
contact for the day. For those that come in for the meals, it is an opening for socialization, activities, classes, education,
and a place to connect with their community. These connections and services help our seniors live more vibrant lives
and remain more independent. Services provided by the ADRC also help decrease the cost to other systems by helping
individuals stay out of Assisted Living or Nursing home placements.
In 2025 we needed to eliminate a staff position and shut down the Southern Door Brussels meal site. Without additional
funding even more services will need to be eliminated by 2028. If the reserve funding is allocated to the ADRC it could
be paired with $100,000 of donated funds that the county already has. This could potentially keep operations as they
are until 2030. That would give us 3 years to work with the Foundation to have ongoing community support.
Thank you for your consideration.

RE: Use of Special Project Funds
As a county, we previously allocated funding in our special needs project to support the purchase of a sober
living home. We were unable to make this purchase for various reasons. We also allocated some of this
funding to support the ongoing costs of sober living. While we have used some of those funds for that purpose,
we have been able to pay for most of our sober living costs through various grants. As a result, we still have
$758,554 remaining in the originally designated fund. In addition to the special needs funding, the county has
unused Opioid Settlement Funds. The balance of those funds is $468,944. These Opioid Settlement Funds
have specific requirements as to what they can be used for. Allowable expenses include treatment or
prevention services. In the 2026 Budget process, we allocated some of the settlement funds to use as the
required matching funds for the Treatment and Diversion (TAD) Grant, our Treatment Court funding source.
At this time, our county continues to have a need for enhanced treatment services for individuals affected by
drug and alcohol abuse. We have explored several alternative ways to enhance our programing. I would
propose that we use the two funding sources named above to support a four-tiered approach to address these
needs. This proposal aligns with the vision created by the board for the special needs funds and meets the
requirements of the Opioid Settlement Funds.
Tier One: Continue to use as matching funds in the amount of $67,000 annually to support the Treatment
Court program. These funds are already allocated in the 2026 budget and we would need to them for the
required match for the next six years to operate that program.
Tier Two: Create Peer Support Specialist (PSS) position. This role is relatively new in the treatment array of
services. We do not currently have a PSS position in our organizational chart. In June of this year, that service
became a billable service for those individuals who have Badger Care. I would propose that the position be
developed as a Defined Term Employee (DTE). This would make it more attractive to candidates as it would
come with benefits. At the same time, it would give us a six-year window to use this service, and evaluate the
effectiveness of the service. It would also give us time to figure out the most effective way to bill for the
services and explore other possible ways to fund the position. There is a conservative revenue projection
included as part of the suggested budget.
Tier Three: Rent a home to establish a sober living facility for women and utilize one of our existing 980
homes for a men’s sober living facility. Cost projections include a 5% annual increase in rent to account for
Page 17 of 37
future increases. This approach would allow us to achieve our original goal of providing sober living options for
both men and women while making use of existing resources. Both facilities would be supported by the PSS
position, an existing case manager, and the Substance Use Disorders team.
Tier 4: Purchase the CHESS Health Recovery App which provides individuals with ongoing recovery support
between appointments and outside of traditional service hours. We would be able to provide to clients enrolled
in our services.
I want to be clear that, if approved, this would be a flexible and evolving program. The funding picture will
continue to change over time. The County is expected to receive additional opioid settlement funds for several
more years, and we will continue to pursue grant and other funding opportunities to support treatment and
recovery services.
Where appropriate, we will also generate revenue to help offset program costs. Services will be billed when
allowable, and residents of the sober living facilities will contribute toward the cost of their stay.
The proposed budget provides a conservative six-year projection for the use of approximately $1.2 million in
currently available funding. It does not rely on future grants, additional opioid settlement payments, resident
contributions, or other generated revenue to sustain the proposed services. Any additional funding or revenue
received would offset costs and extend the length of time the Department is able to support these services
without additional levy requests.
Attached please see the proposed spending plan and measurable criteria we would use to measure and report
the success of the programing.

Re: Special Projects Fund-Reserve--Request for Funds to Continue and Expand
Groundwater Monitoring Efforts
Since 2019, the SWCD has conducted a private well water monitoring
program. Through the course of this program, it has been observed that there are
elevated nitrate levels in certain geographic areas of the county. In order to
increase our understanding of potential groundwater contamination, the SWCD
expanded our groundwater study in the fall of 2025 to test private wells for
indicators of septic system contamination. This study is currently planned to end
in September 2026, but results have already shown evidence of septic system
contamination in private wells in an area of the county that was showing elevated
nitrate levels. The SWCD would like to expand this study to a new area of the
county that also has shown elevated nitrate levels to see if septic system indicators
appear in private wells in this area as well. The proposed project would begin in
the fall of 2026 and run for 12-16 months depending on study participation
numbers. The SWCD is requesting $50,000 from the Special Project Fund-
Reserve to be put into our 2027 budget in order to cover the cost of collecting and
analyzing samples and processing and analyzing all of the collected data to help
further our understanding of groundwater quality in Door County.

DOOR COUNTY
This project focuses on collecting groundwater quality data for private wells within the county. Specifically, this project will examine private wells in an area of the
county with elevated nitrates for possible septic system contamination. See the supplemental information provided for project specifics.
Private wells within Door County. A map is included in the the supplemental information to denote the specific boundaries of the project area.
The SWCD has had a robust groundwater sampling program for several years. Data collected from private wells continues to inform us on our current water
quality, and show us potential threats to groundwater quality. Throughout the years of sampling, two areas of the county have consistently shown elevated nitrate
levels. Further investigation of one of these areas revealed possible septic system contamination of private drinking wells. This project is designed to expand our
area of sampling, collect more samples, and add to our understanding of grounwater quality in private drinking wells in Door County.

To: Greg Couthurst, Director Door County Soil and Water Conservation Department From: Greg Kleinheinz, Director Environmental Research and Innovation Center Date: 29 July, 2026 RE: Project Proposal - Septic Tracer Study Expanded Target Area Background: Septic systems have the potential to influence water quality conditions of the groundwater nearby. The ability of septic systems to influence groundwater quality is linked to the use of the system, design of the system, and location of the system (underlying geology). While the design is generally standardized in code and use can be altered by the user, the underlying geology of these installations can be largely unknown beyond the test holes used in the design and sighting. In locations like Door County this can mean fractured bedrock under very shallow soils which can pose a threat to groundwater that would not occur with the same system installed elsewhere in Wisconsin. These conditions could be unknown to the system owner or installer. Often the impact of these septic systems on groundwater quality can remain unknown as the interactions between groundwater and septic discharge does not always manifest itself in the standard water quality monitoring tests for coliforms/E.coli and nitrate. Further, since coliforms/E.coli and nitrates are general indicators of pollution and not human-specific, they do not tell one the source if they are found in well monitoring results. Project Objective: Evaluate human-derived tracers of contamination in groundwater near high densities of septic system installations. Specifically, this project will expand on previous studies that have evaluated septic tracers in groundwater in Door County. Where: The septic tracer expansion study will be in the area designated “4b” in the county-wide well monitoring program (figure to right). This area is north of Sturgeon Bay and the ship canal and east of Hwy 42 to Hwy 57 and then east of Hwy 57 to Jacksonport extending to Lake Michigan. It would include the area around Clark Lake. See image to the right from well forums.

When: Starting in Fall 2026 and being conducted every other month (6-8 sampling events over 12-16 months) on the same schedule as the original septic tracer study sampling. Length of Study: • At least one complete year of sampling so that peak visitor and off-season can be evaluated. Should funding be available due to participant numbers during each sampling event, we will extend sampling to capture added months and verify previous year results. • Proposed start Fall 2026. Budget Sample Analysis = 100 samples @$435 ea $43,500 Coordination and collection = $2,500 Data analysis = $2,000 Travel = $2,000 Total = $50,000 Contaminants included to as part of the project. • Acesulfame (artificial sweetener) • Sucralose (artificial sweetener) • Caffeine (found in coffee, teas, carbonated beverages, energy drinks, and many sport supplements) • Paraxanthine (metabolite of caffeine) • Sulfamethoxazole (antibiotic) • Carbamazepine (prescription medication) • Coliform (fecal indicator of septic and ag) • E.coli (fecal indicator of septic and ag) • Nitrate (fecal indicator of septic and ag) • Microplastics (indicator of human connection to drinking water)

Re: Special Projects Fund- Reserve—Request for Additional Non-native Phragmites
Control Funding
This project has previously been allocated $447,200 through the Special Projects
Fund for non-native phragmites control. The original proposal was targeting 120
acres over 5 years (2022-2026).
From 2022 to date, the SWCD has spent a total of $372,200 on 662 acres through
contractual control efforts. By December of 2026 we expect all remaining funds to
be depleted.
We currently have an inventory of 160 acres of non-native phragmites that have
received less than two years of treatment and remain at high risk for reinfestation
and expansion without continued management. The SWCD is requesting an
additional $50,000 from the Special Projects Fund—Reserve, for the 2027 budget,
in order to treat up to an additional 105 acres in 2027, prioritizing sites with
limited treatment history to improve control success and reduce future
management costs. The requested funds may also serve as matching funds for
future control grant applications.

This project focuses on the control of approximately XXX acres of non-native Phragmites in 2027 utilizing certified professional applicators.Treatment strategies
will be consistent with the Door County Invasive Strategic Plan. By sustaining control efforts we will increase the probabillity of maintaining Door County's diverse
and rare ecocsystems. Supplemental information and a project/population status map are attached.
Private properties within Door County. A population status map is attached illustrating control success and targeted populations inventoried.
For approximately two decades the SWCD has made control efforts of non-native phragmites a priority to better protect the negative impacts to native plant
species, especially in our rare and unique habitats. Protecting these rare and and unique habitats along with other areas that are more recreational is critical to
maintaining our tourist industry and scenic beauty. By budgeting these undesignated funds in 2027 DCIST and the SWCD will be better positioned to apply for
additional State or Federal grants as these funds may be leveraged as match to continue control efforts on newly discovered populations. As our ash tree
swamps and wetlands continue to show massive die offs, it is even more important that we be vigillant and progressive in our control efforts.
