City of Sturgeon Bay Storm Water Utility Report Spritka reported the City of Sturgeon Bay recently rolled out a new Stormwater Utility fee structure. As result the County of Door is responsible for a number parcels listed below with the following rates to be paid in 2026 and beyond each fiscal year. Spritka is tracking the funds within our utility accounts closely to manage payments and work within the annual budget for 2026 and have made adjustments for the 2027 budget. Page 3 of 30 Parcels and annualized cost: $27,236.16 John Miles County Park, $11,491.00 Door County Justice Center, $2,305.00 Door County Government Center, and $13,066.80 Door County Central Highway Shop. The Facilities & Parks Department is seeking a potential 15% credit for each parcel based on the County of Door development and maintenance of 2 regional onsite storm water ponds and storm water mitigation practices that were developed with the City of Sturgeon Bay. There is the potential for an annual credit of $8,114.42. Each application will be reviewed by the City based on its own merit and parcel development. Administrator Pabich recommends the County push harder on a larger credit given the partnership with the City in the past at John Miles Park and the Highway and Justice Center property.

Adopt Agenda / Properly Noticed Motion by Miller, seconded by Gauger to approve the agenda. Motion carried by voice vote. Correspondence No correspondence was presented. Public Comment None. New Business (Review / Action) Highway & Solid Waste Division Future Highway Operations Hot Mix Plant Crushing Operations Highway Commissioner Ash explained Finance has worked with the department to establish an equipment replacement fund. The largest equipment for near future replacement is the hot mix plant and crushing operations. The Crushing Foreman has recently retired and no current personnel are interested in stepping into the Foreman role. The department is currently exploring hiring out the crushing operations on a trial basis. Major components of the crushing equipment are aging and need to be replaced. Estimated costs to replace crushing equipment is $3M - $4M and upgrade/repairs only to the largest pieces of the crushing operation is estimated at $1.5M-$2M. The hot mix plant has been maintained however parts are from several different vendors and it is getting difficult to determine which company is responsible for what part when repairs are needed. A new hot mix plant is estimated at $7M - $7.5M; upgrade/repairs only, is estimated at $1.4M. Consultant Mike Konecny reviewed projected cash flow summaries for all equipment and projected cash flow summaries of all equipment without crushing. Cash flow-wise the department is doing very well. The projections are assuming the crushing operations would be replaced in 2-years and the hot mix plant replaced in 4-years. Administrator Pabich noted highway operations must remain competitive and legislative changes are needed. He suggested the County work with Representative Kitchens on such changes. With State and Federal grant funding at municipal levels, the County is losing work because of the regulations and requirements that come with the grant funding. Page 5 of 30 Discussion followed and included: at this time, all indications point towards hitting budgeted numbers as presented; the County is a customer to the Highway Department; if we discontinue crushing operations can the Department find a supplier/vendor/contractor who can provide the crushing operations at a cost equal to or lesser than providing the service in-house; crushing operations are regulated by the Department of Commerce and are heavily monitored; we currently crush road gravel and breaker run; what is the cost of a ton of blacktop over the past 5-years; hiring a Foreman for the crushing operations is a critical component to making the decision on continuing crushing operations; need for updated cash flow numbers for the next meeting. Ash reviewed crushing comparisons: In 2025 the department produced approx. 33,660 tons of hot mix aggregate. The cost was $5.55 per ton. Since 2020, the average amount of hot mix aggregates produced has been 37,898 tons and at average cost of $6.19 per ton. To use an outside vendor the cost ranges from $5.37 to $5.39 per ton. The committee will need to decide if the Department continues crushing operations which leads to replacing equipment; some of the crushing equipment can be sold to either offset the cost; a decision would need to be made if discontinuing crushing when is the best time to sell the equipment – does the department wait until it’s determined if an outside vendor is able to provide adequate service. Should the department replace the hot mix plant; should the department move the hot mix plant if operations continue (there is cost savings to trucking operations). The current hot mix plant is saleable. Need to determine what is the payback of the hot mix plant. The committee recessed at 10:27 a.m. and reconvened at 10:37 a.m. Closed Session Convene into Closed Session Pursuant to: § 19.85(1)(e), Wis. Stats., for the purpose of deliberating or negotiating the purchase of public properties, the investing of public funds, or conducting other specified public business, whenever competitive or bargaining reasons require a closed session.

Time: 10:38 a.m. Reconvene into Open Session; Roll Call Vote Required Motion by Miller, seconded by Fisher to reconvene into open session. Motion carried by roll call vote with all Members voting Yes.
