Stats. and §59.23(2)(a) & (b), Wis. Stats. and Roberts Rules of order 10th Edition §48, pp. 451-458 43. Remote Options - Meetings / Hearings A. Remote Option for Public Access Door County will endeavor to maintain a remote view only, except for ‘Public Comment’ agenda item, option for public access to meetings / hearings of the County Board and its subunits. Doing so has the potential to advance the purposes of ensuring government openness and transparency. B. Remote attendance of and participation in a meeting of the County Board or its subunits is permissible only for a County Board Supervisor and other member who reside on Washington Island, or for whom in-person attendance at a meeting would not be possible or would present significant difficulty.

In-person attendance at hearings is the rule. Remote attendance at hearings is the exception. Exceptions may be made for individuals for whom in-person attendance at a hearing would not be possible or would present significant difficulty. Requests for remote attendance must be submitted to the board, commission or committee chairperson or designee as far in advance of the hearing as is feasible. Efforts will be made to facilitate reasonable access to the hearing for such individuals. D. Any meeting / hearing conducted remotely (in whole or in part) must comply with Wisconsin’s Open Meetings Law (§§ 19.81 to 19.98, Wis. Stats.) and be consistent with relevant Wisconsin Attorney General Opinions and Wisconsin Office of Open Government Advisories. 44. Proclamations To be considered by the Door County Board of Supervisors, a proclamation must be sponsored by the County Board Chairperson and directly impact the County's programs, services, or budget.

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. Page 36 of 46 Page 2 of 2 Recommendation I recommend that the Committee support the draft Resolution and Memorandum of Understanding and forward both documents to the County Board for approval.

Lau County Clerk, Door County Resolution No. 2026-___ Partnership with Door County Economic Development for Broadband Implementation TO THE DOOR COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: WHEREAS, the County of Door worked with the Door County 1 Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) and other 2 municipalities to complete a broadband study in 2021; and 3 4 WHEREAS, the resulting Broadband Infrastructure Engineering 5 Assessment Report (2021) established a framework for expanding 6 high-speed broadband access to residents and businesses 7 throughout the county; and 8 9 WHEREAS, the County created and funded a Broadband 10 Coordinator position to assist with implementation efforts through 11 special project funds allocated by the County; and 12 13 WHEREAS, the County has completed many broadband related 14 objectives and wants to ensure the remaining work is completed over 15 the next year; and 16 17 WHEREAS, the County and DCEDC have developed a 18 Memorandum of Understanding (attached hereto and incorporated 19 herein by reference) to ensure the remaining broadband objectives 20 are completed within targeted project expenditures; and 21 22 WHEREAS, the Administrative Committee has considered the 23 Memorandum of Understanding and recommends approval. 24 25 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Door County 26 Board of Supervisors does hereby approve the attached 27 Memorandum of Understanding. 28 29 SUBMITTED BY: ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE David Englebert, Chair Walter Kalms Todd Thayse Nancy Robillard Helen Bacon Ryan Shaw Elizabeth Gauger Page 38 of 46 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 Page 39 of 46 • 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. _________________________________ _________________________________ Ken Pabich, Door County Administrator Michelle Lawrie, DCEDC Executive Director Page 40 of 46 ROLL CALL Board Members Aye Nay Exc.
