Page 2 of 22 Museum February Museum Report The February Report was included in the meeting packet and was reviewed. Museum Manager Joe Taylor noted the museum is focusing on digitizing the Archives collection. A grant was received to hire an intern to assist with the digitizing. An Open House will be held on Thursday, March 26th from 5 – 8 p.m. Review of attendance and donations. Archives Facility Preliminary Design A preliminary drawing as of March 9th was introduced. Discussion followed and included: what is the vision for future use?; Is there a need for a larger meeting space for departments or county board; layout changes reviewed which includes conference rooms, bathrooms, a breakroom, offices, and tenant space in the front half of the building; the back end of the building would house a multi-use warehouse, collections warehouse, and exhibit/fab work area; discussion of what is actually needed; what is the cost of the proposed new layout; can the conference room be built to close off into multiple conference rooms; Museum would like a larger space for presentations; what is the purpose of breakroom; rentable space; are costs recoupable; what is it we specifically need; can some build outs be alternates; what are the specific costs to each section; this is initial feedback to move this on to the Construction Manager to assist in determining cost estimates on this design. By consensus, the Committee agreed with the preliminary design with the option of increasing the size of the conference room(s). Review Previous Exterior Renderings No information available for today’s meeting. Airport Approval of 2025 Carry Forward Finance Director Steve Wipperfurth reviewed the request for Airport Capital Outlay in the amount of $78,609.82 used for county match for federal and state entitlement funds. Motion by Miller, seconded by Fisher to approve the 2025 carryforward in the amount of $78,0609.82. Motion carried by voice vote. Project Updates Highway Commissioner Ash reported the tree removal has been completed. The taxiway and runway project meeting will be held to review the overall project; anticipating starting the project the last week of April with completion prior to July 1. Highway & Solid Waste Division Update on County E & State Hwy 57 Intersection Ash reported the State has approved the project; paperwork needs to be completed. Ash reviewed a proposed design to construct the intersection to be perpendicular to the Highway. Ash is working with Maxwelton Braes Golf Course. It is not expected any property from the golf course is needed to reconstruct the intersection. Update on State Hwy 42 & Northport Ferry Dock Ash reported we are still waiting for confirmation from WDOT. The project includes constructing a paved walking path on the south side of highway, rerouting of the walking path, adding rumble strips, adding a stop sign island, painting a crossing; and adding a north side walking path. Facilities Building(s) Security Administrator Pabich reported a security meeting was held last week. Currently working on updating our Emergency Action Plan which will move through committee and county board this month; working on a Building(s) Safety Team; working on low-hanging items on physical security (general/routine maintenance) and working on looking at larger cost items and compiling a list and estimated costs; and continuing to work on training. Budget constraints need to be considered but some improvements should not be constrained by budgeting. Invitation to Bid – Manufactured Home, Accept Bids, Review, Award Motion by Thayse, seconded by Miller to accept the bid. Motion carried by voice vote. Page 3 of 22 Facilities & Parks Director Wayne Spritka reviewed the one bid received. Perret Homes base bid is $136,000; alternate bid 1, accessibility ramp $12,000 and alternate bid 2, skirting material $7,100. The Department recommends awarding the bid to Perret Homes. Staff also recommend a $7,000 contingency and utility connection allowance for subcontract work on this project. The funds to be used for this project will be a recommendation from the Finance Director and the County Administrator. Total budget of $162,000.00. Anticipated occupancy, February 2027. CC Donohue noted the State is happy with the progress made by the County. The State still needs to review and approve the home as appropriate housing. Supervisor Fisher was excused at 10:30 a.m. Motion by Thayse, seconded by Kalms to award the project to Perret Homes and their subcontractors. Motion carried by voice vote. Resolution 2026-_Transfer of Non-Budgeted Funds – Purchase of Manufactured Home This is an FYI to the committee. The draft resolution was included in the meeting packet for review by the committee. This will go before the Finance Committee for approval. Washington Island Community Center – Future Property Use Spritka reported Door County purchased the Historic Island Dairy Property in 2020. The main facility, zoned Mixed Commercial Use, was remodeled to included Door County Emergency Medical Services garage and a facility to support the Washington Island Community. Resolution No. 2021-36 Authorized Phase III of the Construction activities to the facility. Part of the negotiated purchase agreement of the property was to authorize the previous owner a 5-year agreement to manage and harvest lavender planted on the property. The agreement has since expired in the fall of 2025. The previous owner no longer desires a claim in the established crops. Gathering Grounds of Washington Island has approached the County with the idea to create a “Farmers Market” venue to support the Washington Island Community as a public gathering space to provide locally produced sources of food. Details of operations including the days of the week need to be understood. The parcel is split zoned, General Agriculture (GA) and Mixed Use Commercial (MC), and would require the County to apply for a map amendment to rezone the entire parcel to Mixed Use Commercial. Following rezoning, a permit for a “retail store” could be issued over the counter. It was suggested the County reach out to the town board to determine their interest in changing the zoning of the property. It was suggested that Resource Planning Committee and the Land Use Services Department look at an ordinance amendment versus the County applying for a map amendment. By consensus, the Committee agreed with allowing other uses on the property that have minimal cost impact on the County but prefers pursuing an ordinance amendment rather than rezoning. Parks County Park & Open Space Plan 2026-2030 Parks Manager Marc Moore reported a Public Open House was held February 18th; main focus was indoor sports complex, more playgrounds for kids, and camping. Proposed park improvements plan 2026-2030 was reviewed. Discussion followed and included: improvements to John Miles Park specific to the indoor sports complex listed on the plan; acquiring additional property adjacent to John Miles Park; funding; removing the 2030 indoor sports complex at John Miles Park; and funding sources and order of listing of funding sources. Resolution 2026-_ Adoption of 2026-2030 Open Space Plan Motion by Thayse, seconded by Enigl to approve the resolution with the following amendments, removing the indoor sports complex, $23,500,000 project, reconfiguring the funding sources, and adding an explanation to funding sources, and move it on to County Board. Motion carried by voice vote. Invitation to Bid – Chaudoir’s Dock County Park Harbor Dredging 2026, Accept Bids, Review, Award Motion by Thayse, seconded by Miller to accept the bids. Motion carried by voice vote. Spritka reviewed and explained the breakdown of the bids. Five bids were received – Pier and Waterfront Solutions, Summerset Marine, Iron Works Construction, Michels Construction, and Veit. Staff recommends awarding the bid to Summerset Marine. To qualify for the WDNR grant the County must spend a specific amount. The overall project is expected to come in under budget; if funds are left over, specific to grant dollars, additional work could be completed. It is suggested at this time the anticipated extra dollars related to the grant Page 4 of 22 stay in the contingency fund should there be change orders during the completion of the project. Motion by Thayse, seconded by Enigl to award the bid to Summerset Marine as presented. Motion carried by voice vote. Ridges Sanctuary – Annual Report The report was included in the meeting packet for review. Sam Hoffman was in attendance to provide a verbal update on Range Light 40, the Resident Docent Program, Boardwalk improvements, building restoration and repairs, Dwarf Lake Iris research and restoration, and invasive species management. Cana Island – Door County Maritime Museum – Annual Report The report was included in the meeting packet which was reviewed by Spritka. Spritka noted the current License Agreement with Door County Maritime Museum dated June 1, 2022 will expire December 31, 2027. A recommendation is to review the current agreement for extension in the fall of 2026 to allow for adequate long range planning activities and continued continuity of program management. Chaudoir’s Dock County Park Lease Agreement Extension, Review, Approve The extension request is to extend the Lease in its entirety for an additional one-year term. The term commences January 1, 2026 and ends on December 31, 2026. It was questioned why the lease renewal is before the committee 3 months after the expiration of the previous lease. It was suggested, beginning with the 2027 lease, the term of the lease be revised to reflect the historical time needed to negotiate the lease such as March 1st. Motion by Miller, seconded by Thayse to approve the second amendment of the Lease Agreement as presented. Motion carried by voice vote. Safe Harbor Study Update Pabich reviewed a handout which included background, the State Park master plan references the potential for a facility at the park, the WDNR supports the concept of a Harbor of Refuge but strongly opposes the development of a recreational boating facility within the park. Study options include: 1. Each potential site would undergo a full feasibility analysis; estimated cost $250,000; Option 2. A high-level review would be conducted initially to eliminate unsuitable sites and narrow the focus to one or two potential locations; estimated cost $50,000. WDNR indicated that a matching grant of up to $60,000 is available to support a study related to a Harbor of Refuge. This funding cannot be used for the study of a recreational boating facility. WDNR has indicated that Option 2 is not sufficient to determine the best location for the Harbor of Refuge. Decision points: WDNR has requested that the County indicate whether it intends to pursue the grant. A commitment would mean that the County is willing to proceed with a study focused on a Harbor of Refuge and can demonstrate that funds are available to complete the study. The County Page 5 of 22 must inform the WDNR of its intent by the May meeting. Committee members feel at this time the County has researched and exhausted all options and no further action will be taken. Ahnapee Trail Acceptance of Financial Assistance Resolution 2026-__ Authorize Application for and Acceptance of Financial Assistance for Ahnapee Trail Maintenance The Department of Natural Resources Recreational Trails Program has offered a grant for maintenance restoration in the amount of $28,633.60, with a required 20% ($7,184.40) to perform trail maintenance on the Ahnapee State Trail. Motion by Miller, seconded by Kalms to approve the resolution as presented. Motion carried by voice vote. Sustainability Matters to be Considered No matters were presented. Legislative Matters to be Considered No matters were presented.

Thanks! Beth Get Outlook for iOS From: Claudia Elsner <eggharbor1959@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2026 2:00 PM To: district15@co.door.wi.gov <district15@co.door.wi.gov> Subject: Bay Shore Drive: Land of Potholes and Gravel Dear Elizabeth, I am writing to you with a concern regarding Bay Shore Drive. This is not about speed limits but rather about the multiple potholes and loose asphalt gravel along the west side of the road going south from Murphy Park to Monument Point and beyond. I am an avid road biker who rides this stretch of road a number of times a week during the biking season. There exists potholes and degrading asphalt surrounded by large areas of tarred gravel all along this stretch of road. These spots, which are very dangerous for bikers, have existed for years. There are numerous roads that have been redone recently and are beautiful to bike on such as Whitefish Bay Road. The biking community appreciates these improvements. It is my understanding that you serve on the Highways and Facilities Committee and that your group conducts a tour of Door County Roads each spring. I would greatly appreciate your attention to the above mentioned dangerous spots on Bay Shore Drive. Any improvements need to be longterm, not just filling the holes in with asphalt and gravel as a bandaid. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Regards, Claudia Z.

Following receipt of the report, an internal safety team convened to review the findings and recommendations. The assessment identified recommendations in three primary areas: policy, training, and physical security improvements. The policy and training components have been addressed. The County Board approved the Emergency Action Plan, and training will be implemented and maintained on an annual basis. The remaining recommendations relate to physical security improvements. These have been categorized into items that can be completed if funding is available and items requiring further review and financial support from the County Board. Analysis: Based on the assessment and the internal team’s review, the following items are presented for consideration: 1. Building Security Upgrade — $10,500 Upgrade to the door access control software. The current system does not allow buildings to be managed independently. This upgrade will enable individual building control. 2. Emergency Services Building Mapping — $15,105 Implementation of software to map three County facilities for use by emergency responders. This tool enhances response effectiveness during emergencies or threats. 3. Justice Center – Additional Door Controls — $5,000 Installation of additional door control systems at the Justice Center to improve access management and overall security. 4. Government Center – Customer Access Improvements - $20,000 The assessment identified that the Government Center does not meet current best practices for secure public interaction. The building was originally designed to allow customers direct access into office spaces, whereas modern standards prioritize separation between public and staff areas. The Government Center houses 12 departments that could benefit from redesigned customer service areas. Due to the complexity and potential cost variations, it is recommended that an architect be engaged to develop design options. These options would be reviewed by the Committee and may be incorporated into the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for 2027. Page 21 of 22 Page 2 of 2 Recommendations: The safety team recommends the following actions: 1. Approve proceeding with Items 1, 2, and 3 o Total cost not to exceed $32,000 o Funding source: Contingency Reserve o Anticipated completion: 2026 2. Approve proceeding with Item 4 (Government Center improvements) o Engage an architect to develop design options o Total cost not to exceed $20,000 o Present recommendations to the Highway & Facilities Committee in 2026 o Utilize funding from the existing Government Center Remodeling CIP Page 22 of 22
