Organizational Meetin g
Page 6 of 77
Motion by Thayse, seconded by Fisher to approve the Rules of Order and Powers and Duties of County Board
Sub-Units as presented.
Supervisor Heim Peter presented amendments and questions.
Rule of Order #1 - Motion by Heim Peter, seconded by Shaw to request the appropriate committee conduct an
earnest and honest investigation, deliberation, and recommendation back to the County Board for alternative
meeting times to the regular and statutory 9 a.m. county board meetings and requests a status update on
progress be provided to the county board no later than the July regular meeting of the county board.
Rule of Order #25.D regarding the class I notices – have the notices always been required or it this a new
assignment for the Clerk’s office? CC Donohue noted this is a statutory requirement and this was not applicable in
past years. With the new rule, which expands the authority of the Finance Committee, the statutory requirement to
publish applies.
Rule #39 – reference to providing notice of gifts, grants, donations; CC Donohue will be provided in the county
board meeting agenda packet.
Chairman Englebert, Administrator Pabich, and CC Donohue clarified process and procedure.
Rule of Order #36 language clean-up - Motion by Heim Peter, seconded by Shaw to amend language to strike
wife, husband, father, mother, sister, brother or children and replace with “spouse, minor or adult child, parent,
guardian, or sibling.
Chairman Englebert and CC Donohue noted the Rules of Order may be updated and changed at any time
throughout the year.
Supervisor Heim Peter withdrew her original motion and Supervisor Shaw withdrew his second regarding Rule of
Order #1.
Discussion regarding the motion to amend.
Motion by Kalms, seconded by Gauger to amend the amendment to refer the amendment to the Administrative
Committee for review and recommendation. Motion carried roll call vote 13 Members voting Yes; 6 Members
voting No – Tlachac, Shaw, Heim Peter, Norton, Cain-Bieri, Hancock.
Supervisor Norton questioned Rule #39 – the Library Board is statutorily authorized to accept donations over
$5,000. This was a previous amendment it is unclear why it is not reflected in the rules; this rule will be updated to
reflect the previous language amendment exempting the Library Board from the rule.
Discussion regarding contingency fund transfers and transfer amounts and authorization of transfers.
Rule of Order #44 – Proclamations - Motion by Shaw, seconded by Heim Peter to amend Rule of Order #44 “to
be considered by the Door County Board of Supervisors a proclamation must be sponsored by the County Board
Chairperson or a given committee”. Motion failed by roll call vote with 12 Members voting No; 7 Members voting
Yes – Tlachac, Morkin, Shaw, Heim Peter, Norton, Cain-Bieri, Hancock.
Rule or Order #45 – what is the rule attempting to resolve and is there a better way to frame this. Corporation
Counsel Donohue provided an explanation noting the rule is based on recommended rules through the Wisconsin
Counties Association. This rule designates one spokesperson to speak on behalf of the county board as a body
so as not to have multiple members giving their view and the public being confused. Discussion regarding when a
chair of a committee can speak on behalf of the county. The committee chair cannot speak on behalf of the
county’s position but may speak specifically about the committee action. An official statement of the County is
designated to the County Board Chairperson.
Original motion carried by voice unanimous voice vote.

amendment rezoning the parcel 0260027262334 from General Agricultural (GA) to Rural Residential (RR).
Supervisor Zettel explained that zoning change corrects an error where the Town had changed the zoning
inadvertently and restores the zoning to the original zoning that had been in place for decades. The Town of Union is
not part of the Door County Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance however, State Statute requires county board approval
for any zoning amendment change. Motion carried by voice vote.

$722,073.58 from the 2025 non-lapsing account to the respective 2026 non-lapsing accounts to be expended in the

exceed $32,000 from the General Contingency Reserve to the Operating Supplies – Emergency Ops, to fund the
completion of the Safety Team’s recommendations to include upgrading the County’s door access control software;
implementing software to map three County facilities for use by emergency responders; and installation of additional
door control systems at the Justice Center.
Administrator Pabich provided a review of the requested upgrades. Motion carried by roll call vote with 19 Members
voting Yes; 2 Members excused.
2026-32 Resolution Urging the Wisconsin Legislature and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to
Take Immediate Action to Inspect and Remove the Abandoned Tugboat “Donny S.” from Baileys Harbor
Motion by Thayse, seconded by Kalms to approve Resolution 2026-32 – A resolution urging the State Legislature and
the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to immediately conduct an official inspection of the Donny S. to
determine the presence of hazardous materials and evaluate environmental and structural risks; and to take prompt
action to secure, stabilize, and remove the vessel from Baileys Harbor to prevent foreseeable pollution or harm to
public waters.
Corporation Donohue explained there was a community work/stakeholder group put together. From the workgroup it
became apparent the State was not providing funding to take care of the issue. The resolution asks the State to get
involved and provide funding to the DNR to investigate the vessel and if needed to remove the vessel. The County is
not responsible to remove the tug. There has been some reports that the vessel does contain some sort of contents
however this needs further review to formally determine what is on the vessel. This is an effort by the County to assist
the Town of Baileys Harbor. Motion carried by voice vote.
2026-33 Authorizing the Engagement of Outside Counsel on a Contingency Fee Basis to Initiate Lawsuit(s)
Against Companies that Designed, Manufactured, Marketed, Distributed, and/or Sold Fluorosurfactant
Products that Contaminated the Soil, Groundwater and Surface Water of Door County With Highly Toxic
Compounds
Motion by Thayse, seconded by Robillard to approve Resolution 2026-33 – A resolution authorizing the County to
engage outside counsel according to the terms and conditions set forth in the proposed engagement letter, and
authorization to Corporation Counsel to execute the engagement letter on behalf of the County.
As set forth in the engagement letter, (a) outside counsel will not be compensated unless the County receives a
financial benefit as a result of the proposed claims; and (b) outside counsel is authorized to file a lawsuit on behalf
of the County against any company that designed, manufactured, marketed, distributed, and/or sold
Fluorosurfactant Products that contributed to the PFAS contamination within the County whether now known or
Page 10 of 77
discovered after the date of this resolution. Outside counsel shall proceed with the litigation effort under direction
of the County Administrator, or their designee, and shall keep the County reasonably apprised as to the status of
the litigation. County officials and employees are hereby directed to provide support to outside counsel in the
litigation effort.
Corporation Donohue reviewed the resolution noting this is referred to as multi-district litigation. The lawsuit is
going after the manufactures of these chemicals; largely Dupont and 3M; trying to hold them responsible for
knowing this product was harmful and continuing to market it. The focus of the litigation will likely be on firefighting
foam. The litigation will be looking at soil testing. This is existing litigation, starting with municipal water supplies,
then individuals harmed by the product, with the third phase being soil contamination. It is the appropriate time for
the County to obtain counsel to represent us. Motion carried by voice vote.
Ordinances
No ordinances were presented.

interest (OCI), as defined in the FAA Acquisition Management System, "Organizational Conflicts of
Interest (T3.1.7)", or that the Contractor has disclosed all such relevant information.
B. The offeror or Contractor agrees that if an actual or potential OCI is discovered after award, the
Contractor must make a full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. The disclosure must
include a mitigation plan describing actions the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid,
mitigate, or neutralize the actual or potential conflict. Changes in the Contractor's relationships due
to mergers, consolidations or any unanticipated circumstances may create an unacceptable
organizational conflict of interest which may necessitate disclosure.
C. The FAA reserves the right to review and audit OCI mitigation plans as needed after award, and
to reject mitigation plans if the OCI, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, cannot be avoided, or
mitigated.
D. The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience in whole or in part, if it
deems such termination necessary to avoid an OCI. If the Contractor was aware of a potential OCI
prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose or
misrepresented relevant information to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate this
contract for default, debar the Contractor from government contracting, or pursue such other
remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

hereunder.

hazardous substance contamination found on the FAA facility premises. The Contractor also agrees
to hold the FAA harmless for all costs, liabilities and/or claims by third parties that arise out of

DATE: June 16, 2026
RE: Broadband Program
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Background
Door County partnered with Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) and local
municipalities to complete a countywide broadband study. The resulting Broadband Infrastructure Engineering
Assessment Report (2021) established a framework for expanding high-speed broadband access to residents and
businesses throughout the county.
Following the recommendations of the report, the County created and funded a Broadband Coordinator position
to assist with implementation efforts. The position was supported through special project funds previously
allocated by the County, with the understanding that the role would eventually be phased out as the primary
project objectives were achieved.
Analysis
Significant progress has been made through the efforts of the Broadband Coordinator and the Broadband
Advisory Committee, which has provided guidance and oversight throughout the project. As implementation
efforts continue to advance, the County has reached a point where it is appropriate to begin planning for the
transition and eventual phase-out of both the Advisory Committee and the Coordinator position.
It was originally anticipated that the primary objectives of the broadband initiative could be completed by the end
of June 2027. However, we feel that these items could be done earlier even though there would be several
ongoing broadband-related needs and initiatives that will continue beyond that timeframe.
Through discussions with DCEDC, staff explored options for transitioning the County’s role while ensuring that
key broadband objectives and long-term community needs continue to be addressed. As a result of those
discussions, it was determined that transitioning the program to DCEDC would provide an effective path forward.
The attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the proposed transition process, including the
funding necessary to complete the remaining primary objectives. Under the proposed MOU, the current
Broadband Coordinator, Jessica Hatch, would transition to employment with DCEDC in a role that includes
completing the objectives identified in the agreement.
Benefits of the Proposed MOU
• It allows the County to responsibly phase out its direct broadband program involvement while ensuring
the remaining primary objectives are completed in partnership with DCEDC.
• DCEDC is a natural long-term home for the program and is well-positioned to continue supporting
additional broadband-related initiatives identified in the original broadband report.
• Broadband Coordinator Jessica Hatch has performed exceptionally well in advancing the goals of the
initiative. While the proposed agreement is project-based, it also provides continuity in leadership and
helps ensure successful completion of the remaining objectives.
• The transition allows the County to retain remaining special project fund balances for other County
priorities while still supporting completion of the broadband initiative.

Recommendation
I recommend that the Committee support the draft Resolution and Memorandum of Understanding and forward
both documents to the County Board for approval.
Attachment to Resolution 2026-39

Memorandum of Understanding
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) outlines the continued partnership between Door County
(the County) and the Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) to advance broadband
availability, digital equity, and long-term community adoption of high-quality internet services.
The County and DCEDC recognize that broadband infrastructure alone is insufficient to meet community
needs. Sustainable progress requires coordinated digital adoption, digital literacy, and device access
strategies that ensure residents, businesses, and institutions can fully utilize broadband services. This
MOU elevates digital adoption as a core priority and grounds the partnership in the governance
framework established by the Broadband Advisory Committee Charter (2022).
Significant progress has been achieved to date. The County intends to continue advancing the objectives
originally identified in the Broadband Infrastructure Engineering Assessment Report (2021), which will
remain a technical reference but no longer the primary driver of program priorities.
Transition of Responsibilities
Effective June 30, 2026, the County will transition the employment and responsibilities of the Broadband
Coordinator to DCEDC. In coordination with the County, DCEDC will undertake the following objectives,
aligned with the Broadband Advisory Committee Charter and the County’s digital adoption priorities.
Project Objectives
1. Governance & Committee Coordination
• Lead the Broadband Advisory Committee in alignment with its Charter, including oversight of
implementation, coordination of initiatives, integration of digital inclusion efforts, and
maintaining FiberNet Door County information.
• Provide regular updates to the County Administrator and County Board.
2. Digital Adoption, Literacy & Education (Primary Priority)
• Develop a countywide digital adoption framework using a tiered model (libraries, ADRC, UW
Extension, municipalities, nonprofits, ISPs).
• Promote continued growth for digital literacy (County → Municipalities → Community Groups).
• Leverage existing resources to avoid duplication.
• Build partnerships (e.g., United Way, ADRC) to sustain device distribution and support services.
3. Municipal & ISP Coordination
• Support municipalities in completing broadband projects with ISPs.
• Support municipal participation in the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD)
Program as administered by the Public Service Commission (PSC).
4. Strategic Initiatives
Attachment to Resolution 2026-39
Page 38 of 77
• Propose partnerships with school districts to expand digital adoption and family engagement.
• Explore a healthcare pilot with Door County Medical Center and ADRC for telehealth and aging-
in-place support.
5. Monitoring & Reporting
• Track BEAD contracting and update the County.
• Deliver a comprehensive report to the County Board in 2027 covering adoption progress,
infrastructure status, community impact, and sustainability recommendations.
Term & Funding
To support the completion of these objectives, the County agrees to provide DCEDC with $100,000 in
addition to general funding approved through the County budget process. This funding will be disbursed
in two equal payments of $50,000, issued on:
• June 30, 2026
• January 1, 2027
While certain activities may extend beyond the term of this MOU, the Parties agree that these core
objectives are expected to be substantially completed by June 30, 2027.
It is agreed between the parties that, effective June 30, 2026, the Broadband Coordinator will become
an employee of DCEDC, and no longer an employee of the County. The County’s responsibility for
wages, benefits, and other employment expenses related to the Broadband Coordinator position will
cease effective June 30, 2026, at which time they will be the responsibility of DCEDC.

Sturgeon Bay, WI
Wayne,
Immel Construction is pleased to provide the following preliminary budget control estimate for the Door
County Museum Archives & Storage project in Sturgeon Bay, WI.
The preliminary budget estimate to complete this work is a combined cost of $2,869,470, broken down
as follows:
1. Door County Museum Archives & Storage Space – $1,882,233
2. Commercial Space Renovation for Tenant Use – $809,219
3. Existing Museum ADA Upgrades – $178,018
Our estimate is based on the schematic design package by Integrity Engineering & Design, LLC dated
04-21-26. Attached is a divisional breakdown of the estimate.
Please note that at this time these are estimates based on the preliminary plans developed to date. As
we move forward as a team and are able to make decisions that further describe your project, the cost
will also become better defined. Once final plans and specifications are developed, the work can be
competitively bid out to subcontractors and suppliers, which will provide you with a more exact cost of
construction.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Paul Martzke, AIA LEED AP
President

Municipal Broadband Next Steps
Broadband Adoption and Digital-Skill Building
• I have had discussions with municipalities on
transitioning their broadband committee
discussions from broadband access over to
broadband adoption and digital skill building to
support “last mile” human capacity.
• Some are discussing this with their ISP partners to
see what programs they have available to provide
to residents and businesses.
• Discussions are ongoing with non-profit entities in
the county already doing this work.
• Discussions with economic development – broadband
adoption provides a stronger local economy, business
growth, entrepreneurship and job creation.
• Broadband adoption supports the municipal
investment and the ISP take rate. Networks that have
high subscription rates are taken care of and upgraded.
• Broadband adoption and digital skill building fosters
civic engagement, education and social inclusion.
• Broadband adoption enables remote work,
e-commerce and telehealth, all of these are critical for
rural economic resilience, similar to how electricity
enable mechanized farming and rural industry.

BEAD Next Steps
Four Year Performance Period - 2030
• Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
are working through BEAD
contracts with the WI Broadband
Office.
• Providers will then be working to
identify routes, complete
engineering designs, secure
permits, perform site surveys and
plan fiber capacity.
• NEPA review must be completed
before construction begins–
environmental, historic,
endangered species and
permitting review This is
anticipated to take 6-12 months.
• Shovels in the ground are
anticipated to start winter of
2026-2027.
