Consent Agenda: Mulliken moved, Meacham seconded to approve the consent agenda as presented, all ayes with T. Nelson abstaining. Motion carried. 8. Administration: a. Presentation of the Annual Report from Destination Door County and Door County Tourism Zone Commission: Juliana Holly, Executive Director of the Door County Tourism Zone Commission (DCTZC), explained that the primary responsibility of the DCTZC is the collection and remittance of room tax in Door County. She noted that there are approximately 1,640 permit holders. The DCTZC is responsible for distributing the room tax in accordance with Wisconsin State Statute §66.0615, the Entity Agreement, and local room tax ordinances. She explained that 30% is distributed to municipalities and 70%, up to the annual budgeted amount, is distributed to Destination Door County (DDC). Board composition is created pursuant to State Statute as well. Holly reviewed room tax statistics, noting that the Village of Ephraim’s total room tax collections for the year were up 11 %, compared to 4.67 % for Door County as a whole. For June specifically, the average lodging daily rate was up $33, and lodging revenue increased by approximately $240,000. She noted a broader countywide trend of a shift from traditional lodging to cottage, cabin, and home stays, which affects occupancy tracking since maximum occupancy is not tracked for those property types. Holly informed the Board that the Tourism Zone is currently seeking an administrative assistant and is also undertaking a software revision to reduce human error and simplify the room tax reporting process for lodging providers, particularly in light of changes being made by marketplace platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO. John Jarosh, newly appointed CEO of Destination Door County, then presented. He acknowledged Ephraim Business Council representatives Kelsey Stone, Missy LeBelle, and Sarah Martin for their partnership. Jarosh highlighted four primary areas of the organization's work: Municipal Reimbursement Program: This program, started in 2022, reimburses municipalities for the exact amount they pay to fund the Tourism Zone's operations. In 2025, the total was approximately $414,000 distributed to municipalities, with Ephraim's share at approximately 11%. These funds, drawn from the 70% tourism allocation, are restricted to approved uses. Community Investment Fund (CIF): Launched in 2023, the CIF has invested over $3.7 million in 70 projects across Door County, including projects in Ephraim. Grant application deadlines remaining for 2026 are on September 28 and December 28. Jarosh encouraged municipal partners to apply. He noted that the fund requires projects to have both a tourism development purpose and a positive impact on residents. He indicated that the organization is exploring whether to begin earmarking portions of the CIF for specific categories of projects, though no determinations have been made. He welcomed feedback from the Village on this direction. Community Business Associations: DDC allocates approximately $1.6 million annually to support 11 Business Associations across the county, recognizing their critical role in the local visitor experience. 3 Core Operations/Marketing: Jarosh emphasized that marketing remains foundational to the organization's work, as the tourism sector is highly competitive. He cited the economic impact report showing $685 million in overall visitor economy impact for Door County in 2025, with $551.6 million in direct spending, $131 million in labor income, and Door County ranked 7th out of Wisconsin's 72 counties in tourism impact. Jarosh also referenced the organization's Destination Stewardship Plan, developed with input from approximately 1,500 residents through town halls, surveys, and focus groups. He noted it is available at doorcounty.com/stewardship, and that while Destination Door County championed the plan, some elements—such as housing—require advocacy from other organizations rather than room tax funding. He also briefly mentioned the organization's strategic plan for 2026, the first year of a three-year plan. Finally, Jarosh expressed gratitude to the Village for the ongoing use of the Village Hall to facilitate Social Security card applications for J-1 visa exchange students. Since approximately 2015, two sessions per year have been held, helping approximately 2,000 students avoid the need to travel to Green Bay. A discussion was held with Jarosh. Meacham asked about restaurant business trends. Jarosh acknowledged the picture is mixed—some businesses report strong performance, and others are off—and that no clear explanation has emerged yet. Meacham also asked about day-tripper data. Jarosh explained that while precise real-time day-tripper counts are not available, the organization can analyze DOT traffic count data and mobile location data, though both carry lag times and limitations. The mobile location data is better at indicating visitor behavior than counting individuals. Mulliken asked whether the CIF's eligibility criteria or structure had been revised. Jarosh confirmed that no specific adjustments have been made yet, but that the Governance Committee and Board are discussing whether to earmark portions of the fund for specific project categories going forward. Hoyerman asked what percentage of the 70% allocation returns to municipalities through the reimbursement program. Jarosh and Holly clarified that the reimbursement amount is not a fixed percentage, but is tied directly to the Tourism Zone's annual budget, which was approximately $414,000 in 2025. Jarosh added that additional funds have also flowed back to municipalities through CIF grants and a one-time parks funding program offered in 2023. K. Nelson noted for context that Ephraim receives approximately $400,000 annually in room tax, which is used for Capital Projects such as the North Ephraim Pedestrian Path and Waterfront work. b. Discussion and consideration regarding combination of Class “B” and “Class C” Alcohol Beverage Retailers License: Mulliken moved, Hoyerman seconded, to approve the Waterbury Inn Owners Association Inc., at 10321 Water Street, combination Class “B” and “Class C” Alcohol Beverage Retailers License pending health and fire inspection, all ayes. Motion carried. c. Discussion and consideration regarding Administration building and Village Hall project planning, design, and options: Bristol provided background, explaining that a subgroup consisting of K.Nelson, Mulliken, and himself had been working with Keller Inc. to develop plan alternatives for the Administration Building. Originally four options were under consideration; Option 3 (a large addition) was previously eliminated due to scale concerns, leaving Options 1, 2, and 4. Option 1 involves a full gut and rehabilitation within the existing building envelope. Option 2 involves a smaller addition of approximately 818 square feet, largely to accommodate an enclosed accessibility ramp. Option 4 involves constructing a new building on the same property, most likely adjacent to the fire station. Bristol also reported that Keller, with the assistance of Brian Frisk, who scanned original blueprints, produced scaled digital renderings of the current Village Hall and two conceptual stage expansion alternatives. A separate audio-visual proposal from Quantum Technologies was also received, 4 estimating approximately $80,000 for AV upgrades to the Village Hall, lower than the $100,000– $150,000 previously anticipated. Village Hall Meeting Use and AV Discussion K. Nelson opened discussion by reframing the core question: Should the Village Hall continue to serve as the home for public business meetings, and if so, what AV improvements are needed? He noted that a prior assumption had been to house all meetings at the new administration building, but that sentiment had shifted toward keeping major public meetings at the Village Hall. T. Nelson expressed general comfort with either stage expansion option, but indicated a preference for keeping the restrooms in the back of the building. He stated that reliable AV, specifically the ability to walk in, press one button, and run a meeting, was his top priority. He was pleased to hear that technology advances had improved reliability even for modular systems. Mulliken raised concerns about Village Hall Option 1's elimination of the restrooms and questioned how ADA-accessible restroom access would be maintained. She also expressed concern that Option 2 would reduce the hall's usability for non-Board-meeting events by adding only a one-foot-high platform. She also questioned whether a second AV quote had been obtained, noting the Board had previously voted to seek one, and suggested that spending significant money on AV in both buildings would compound costs. Meacham stated he would vote for neither physical stage expansion option, arguing that the Village Hall is functional enough as-is and that for large meetings, seating could be arranged on the floor. He reaffirmed the need for a second AV opinion before proceeding. Hoyerman echoed the call for a second AV opinion and recalled asking Keller's architect directly whether technology could resolve the acoustic and communication issues without physical changes. He indicated that the emerging answer appeared to be yes, and that he was therefore less inclined to support physical modifications. K. Nelson stated he was personally against making any physical changes to the Village Hall at this time, arguing that if improvements are ever undertaken, the building should be considered as a whole rather than piecemeal. He suggested that the focus of investment in the building should be limited to AV improvements. Bristol confirmed he had a meeting scheduled with a second AV company on Friday and noted that a decision on AV should inform the scope of the Admin Building project. He observed that AV work in the Village Hall would be more labor-intensive than in a new building due to the difficulty of running wires through existing walls and ceilings. Andy Bartelt offered the perspective that the Village Hall was not well-designed for formal meetings. He noted that meetings were held at the old schoolhouse (Administration Building) from 1984 until COVID forced a move to the hall in 2020. He questioned whether it was worth spending money to "make do" in a building not suited to the purpose. He also raised the practical concern that parking near the Village Hall is a significant problem, particularly for larger meetings, a problem that would not exist at the Admin Building. Hoyerman responded with a strong statement in favor of keeping official Village business in the Village Hall. He expressed concern that if meetings were relocated permanently to the Administration Building, the Village Hall could gradually lose its official character and become an ornament, citing the Anderson Dock as an example. He stated the Village Hall was built for this purpose, is iconic to the Village, and that maintaining official use of it would be "a self-fulfilling thing" to ensure it is properly maintained and owned as an official building. Following discussion, K. Nelson sought a resolution to document the Board's direction. Hoyerman moved, Meacham seconded, that the Village Board resolve that henceforth the Village Board meetings, Plan Committee meetings, Historic Preservation Committee meetings, Board of Review meetings, and the Board of Zoning Appeals meetings be held at the Ephraim 5 Village Hall. And that, going forward, the working Committee meetings may be held in the Administration Building, whatever form that takes going forward. Furthermore, there should be continued pursuit of updating the audiovisual capabilities of this Village Hall for the purpose of increasing the reliability and effectiveness of public meetings, all ayes. Motion carried. Administration Building Options K. Nelson then led discussion to narrow the Administration Building options from three to two options. He summarized the remaining options: Option 1 (rehabilitate within the existing footprint, new roof, HVAC, and accessibility ramp), Option 2 (same rehabilitation plus an approximately 818- square-foot addition, about half of which accommodates an enclosed ramp), and Option 4 (new building on the same property). A discussion was held regarding the Administration Building options. Hoyerman argued against Option 4 on fiscal grounds. He noted that the Village must spend approximately $600,000 in deferred maintenance on the existing building regardless, and that this cost effectively neutralizes the cost-efficiency argument for building new, purpose-built. He stated he preferred Options 1 or 2 because they incorporate that necessary remediation work. Mulliken added that if Option 4 were selected, she would have difficulty justifying additional investment in the Village Hall for AV, given the overall expenditure. Meacham noted a preference for Options 1 or 2 as well, citing concern about leaving the old schoolhouse as an unused building—calling it a potential "bureaucracy" and a "money pit." T. Nelson agreed and stated he was willing to eliminate Option 4, noting that Options 1 and 2 both involve essentially the same gut rehabilitation work and differ only in floor plan and square footage. K. Nelson concurred, noting that abandoning the existing Admin Building would mean spending money to fix it and then having to determine what to do with it. The Village Board agreed to proceed with Options 1 and 2 and to invite Keller to a special Board meeting to present and discuss the two (2) options in detail before a final decision is made. Mulliken moved, T. Nelson seconded, to proceed with Option 1 or Option 2 for the Administration Building, all ayes. Motion carried. d. Discussion regarding draft Protected Waterfront ordinance: K. Nelson presented the draft revised Protected Waterfront Ordinance, noting this was a discussion item only. He explained that in May 2026, the Village Board directed the Plan Committee to revisit Ordinance §17.20 after reviewing three projects under the previously revised ordinance that resulted in outcomes, specifically two-story houses, that were inconsistent with the ordinance's intent. The Plan Committee held five working sessions of approximately two hours each to develop the draft. K. Nelson outlined what had not changed: The ordinance's intent to preserve open viewing and encourage maintenance of existing residences, and the 23-foot maximum structure height (with certain features allowed up to 25 feet). He then described the clarifications made: definitions of a 1.5-story house, decks, porches, and other terms were added. Regarding what has become more restrictive, K. Nelson explained: • Proposed footprint alterations may be no wider than the existing structure as measured parallel to State Highway 42, though structures may be made deeper. • The previous allowance for up to 50% of the roof to be pitched between 3:12 and 6:12 has been eliminated. Architects had used the gentler slope to effectively create two-story houses. The new ordinance requires a 6:12 to 12:12 pitch, with specific exceptions for shed dormers, porch roofs, and front entrance roofs. • Existing decks and porches may be replaced in kind, but if none exist, none may be added on a new or rebuilt structure. • Outdoor lighting has been minimized and restricted to entry points of homes. 6 Regarding what has become less restrictive: • Reproductions of existing structures—rebuilding a home to match its existing look using modern materials—are now a permitted use, allowing property owners to fully rebuild without triggering the full set of new construction standards. • Section 6 provides new language granting the Plan Committee broad latitude to work with applicants who retain the original building, incentivizing preservation. • Sections 6, 7, and 8 together now provide multiple defined paths: preserving the existing structure, reproducing it, or undertaking a new addition or replacement—each with its own requirements. • Attached garages may be incorporated into the living area, subject to restrictions on overall width and a prohibition on adding upper-level living space over the reclaimed garage footprint. • Accessory buildings may similarly be absorbed into the principal structure, with the same restrictions. A discussion was held regarding the draft ordinance. Hoyerman noted that while the intent language had been reworded, the underlying goal of the ordinance remained the same as the original. Meacham raised a question about the lighting restriction, suggesting that rather than limiting the number of fixture locations, the ordinance might be better served by limiting lumens, since LED technology can allow many fixtures at low output without being intrusive. He also questioned what specific "look" the ordinance was trying to preserve, noting that the Protected Waterfront District currently has no consistent architectural character. K. Nelson acknowledged the difficulty in defining that look, but said the goal was to prevent the ordinance from inadvertently forcing all new construction to look the same by limiting options and preserve the variety that exists now. He noted the principal intent is to preserve open viewing of the bay along the entire stretch of the district. Mulliken asked Bristol whether the new ordinance would make it easier to give applicants clear direction at the front end, potentially reducing the time spent on non-viable proposals. Bristol confirmed that the clearer pathways and language should help, and that the Plan Committee had already discussed encouraging concept reviews before formal applications. He noted that for most projects, informal pre-application conversations already happen before anything comes to a public meeting. K. Nelson raised the question of whether to formally require or encourage a concept review for protected waterfront applications. Bristol expressed some caution about creating another layer of defined requirements and noted that the value of a concept review depends on the level of detail an applicant brings. He indicated he would continue to encourage such reviews informally regardless. The Board generally agreed that "encouraging" rather than "requiring" a concept review was the right approach. Hoyerman noted that the most successful projects in his experience on the Plan Committee are those that begin with a concept review. T. Nelson asked more directly how the specific changes in the ordinance resolved the problems the Plan Committee encountered with recent project application submissions. K. Nelson pointed to the new multiple pathways (Sections 6, 7, and 8) and the improved organizational structure—listing general requirements, design criteria, and dimensional standards in sequence as the primary improvements that should give architects and applicants a clearer roadmap. K. Nelson noted the ordinance will be scheduled for a public hearing at next month's Board meeting, with a final discussion and possible adoption at the subsequent meeting. He will not be present next month, so he wanted to use this meeting to surface any remaining concerns so the Plan Committee can make adjustments at its next session in two weeks. 7 Mulliken agreed to mark up specific areas of concern in the definitions and footprint language as she noted them during the meeting. She pointed out that these sections could be clearer, and she intended to send her suggestions to K. Nelson for review. She specifically expressed that she found the language around "no width increase and no more total footprint" somewhat confusing. She suggested that improving clarity in these areas would ensure the ordinance is more understandable for applicants. Additionally, she indicated she would consider how the definitions are presented in §17.09 and whether they adequately serve to clarify the ordinance's application. K. Nelson stated that he would welcome her input, as the Plan Committee was scheduled to hold another session in two weeks, during which these adjustments could be discussed. e. Discussion regarding North Path tree planting: K. Nelson recalled that the item was discussed at the last Board meeting and referred to the Physical Facilities & Utilities Committee (PFU). Meacham explained that the PFU Committee had to defer the item due to technical difficulties that prevented the Committee from viewing schematics of the proposed solar bollard locations and proposed tree-planting areas. Meacham reported that the PFU Committee reviewed the proposal in concept and felt that the number of proposed trees was excessive for the area. He indicated the Committee would bring a full report back at the next meeting. He also noted that the email to Mr. Wolff regarding the matter had been sent. Mr. Wolff plans to be present at the next PFU meeting. A discussion was held regarding North Path tree planting. K. Nelson added that during the discussion, it was suggested that larger trees such as maples should be placed as far back from the path as possible. Mulliken noted that none of the trees in the current proposal are native to Wisconsin, and expressed a preference for native plantings consistent with the Village's general direction. She also raised concern that the Sienna Glen Maple's aggressive root system could potentially cause damage. She reiterated her request to see a more visual representation of the proposal. T. Nelson likewise expressed a preference for native species, though he acknowledged that non-native ornamental trees are visually appealing. He noted that native species may not offer the same seasonal color, but would be more appropriate. Meacham noted that the Committee had discussed several native options, including Kentucky coffee tree, Hackberry, American Hornbeam, disease-resistant Princeton Elm, and Swamp White Oak. Hoyerman expressed support for the native tree direction and was pleased that the planting plan is being coordinated with the solar bollard installation. K. Nelson noted his concern about the volume of trees proposed and indicated he was not enthusiastic about crabapples as a Village-planted parkway tree, favoring species that would grow large enough not to obstruct views of the businesses along the path. He also noted that large- canopy trees could conflict with the solar bollards, a concern Meacham acknowledged. 9. Wastewater: a. Discussion and consideration regarding Wastewater request to send out an RFP for Solar Project: Bristol provided context, noting that both the Wastewater Committee and Green Tier Ad-Hoc Committee had previously recommended keeping the solar project on the agenda. The most recent Wastewater Committee meeting included a recommendation to send out a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the solar installation. Bruce Nelson, representing both Green Tier and the Wastewater Committees, explained the background. He stated the project had stalled because the consulting engineer indicated the existing plans and specifications were not in biddable form as a standalone Solar Project, and that additional fees would be required to bring them to that standard. He said there was little appetite in either Committee to pay for another design iteration. He proposed to instead develop an RFP that would provide prospective vendors with the Village's electricity usage data, usage patterns, and rate information, and ask vendors to propose their own design, system size, and cost. He described this as 8 a design-build approach, stating it does not obligate the Village to any particular vendor or outcome, but would generate current, competitive proposals to inform a decision. He emphasized that there is a time-sensitive component related to available rebates. A discussion was held regarding the development of an RFP for the Solar Project. K. Nelson framed the proposal as a Request for Bids rather than a Design Document, noting the Village would be seeking a deliverable solar system with vendors providing performance and cost information. Meacham expressed support, noting it would give the Village a better understanding of cost and return on investment. Mulliken supported the effort as well, highlighting that a concrete proposal could also support future grant applications. T. Nelson agreed and suggested the Village aim for two or three competitive responses. B. Nelson indicated he had identified approximately a half-dozen vendors in Wisconsin and Minnesota with the capacity to handle a project of this size, though not all may respond. Regarding the process for drafting the RFP, Bristol noted he would be involved and suggested Rasmusson and B. Nelson would also participate. He preferred not to formally structure it as a working Committee or Task Force. K.Nelson, Meacham, and Bristol informally agreed to collaborate on the RFP, with Mulliken offering to review drafts. B. Nelson noted the existing draft was fairly complete and would require relatively minor adjustments—removing requirements more appropriate to large public works projects and streamlining it for a smaller proposal context. Meacham moved, Mulliken seconded, that the Village of Ephraim request proposals for the design, supply, construction, installation, and startup of a PV solar power system for the Village of Ephraim Wastewater Treatment Plant, all ayes. Motion carried. 10. Airport: a. Discussion and consideration regarding right of first refusal for hangar A4: T. Nelson moved, Meacham seconded, to decline the right of first refusal for Hangar A4, all ayes. Motion carried. b. Discussion and consideration regarding sale of hangar A4 from Mary Houck to Fabian Waleffe: T. Nelson moved, Mulliken seconded, to approve the sale of Hangar A4 from Mary Houck to Fabian Waleffe, all ayes. Motion carried. c. Discussion and consideration regarding lease with Fabian Waleffe for Hangar A4: Hoyerman moved, Meacham seconded, to approve the lease with Fabian Waleffe for Hangar A4, all ayes. Motion carried. 11. Committee Minutes for review: There were no comments regarding Committee Minutes. 12. New Business for the Next Meeting: a. North Path Tree Planting (including native species options and visual representation) b. An update on Moravia Point. c. Trees south of Firehouse Marina. 13. Adjournment: T. Nelson moved, Meacham seconded, to adjourn at 9:14 PM, all ayes. Motion carried.

Absent: None. Staff: Brent Bristol -Village Administrator and Kim Roberts - Deputy Clerk. Guests in person: Jon Stahl (EFD) and Jason Rockwell (EFD). Guests Online: None. 1. Call to Order: K. Nelson called the meeting to order at 12:00 PM. 2. Quorum: A quorum was present for the meeting. 3. Administration: a. Discussion and consideration regarding submitting an offer to purchase a used mini-pumper truck for the Ephraim Fire Department: Bristol provided background regarding how the agenda item came about and why it had not come from the Community Protection Committee (CPC) with a recommendation. Chief MacDonald had brought the item to him after the Department had determined its interest in the truck. It is short notice because the municipality that owns the truck will be meeting Monday to review offers. The offer needs to be submitted to be considered. He further explained that he had put together a packet in MacDonald’s absence (due to illness), making assumptions about needing to review the Capital Accounts and the Fire Department Replacement Plan, truck details, and truck photos. Jon Stahl, of the Ephraim Fire Department, explained that the existing mini-pumper — a demo truck purchased around 1999–2000 — was originally acquired to access restricted roads such as North Shore Road. However, evolving fire service standards now require a minimum of four personnel on initial apparatus for structure fire attack, rendering the two-person, stick-shift truck largely underutilized. The truck's limitations also mean extrication tools, cribbing, and other essential equipment are spread across multiple vehicles, creating operational inefficiencies at incident scenes. As a result, the existing truck sees limited use—primarily for traffic control and mutual aid water supply—and has even developed fuel issues from sitting idle too long. The truck under consideration is a used 2016 HME 4x4 1,500-gallon mini-pumper. Stahl noted this model — a "compact rapid attack truck" with a custom cab seating six, including five seats equipped for air packs — is no longer manufactured, as updated emissions equipment consumes too much compartment space to make the design practical. He emphasized that trucks of this type rarely appear on the market and that this particular example checks all the boxes the department has been seeking for several years, including from discussions with the manufacturer HME. Stahl outlined the operational benefits: The new truck would become a first-line apparatus suitable for structure fires, auto accidents, and mutual aid, while also allowing extrication equipment to be consolidated onto a single vehicle. This would free the main pumper from being overloaded and enable the existing squad to serve a complementary support role. Mulliken, representing the Community Protection Committee (CPC), acknowledged that the timeline had not permitted a formal Committee meeting, which had caused some frustration among members. However, she reported having spoken individually with all Committee members within the prior 24 hours. She noted that replacing the mini-pumper has consistently been identified as the department's top replacement priority. She also raised the point — confirmed by Chief MacDonald — that the new truck would increase pump capacity, which may be a factor in the Village's 2 Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating, though any formal re-evaluation would be required to confirm the impact. A strong common theme among Committee members was that any offer to purchase must include a contingency for an in-person physical inspection of the truck by qualified personnel before the sale is finalized. A discussion was held regarding the used mini-pumper truck. T. Nelson asked whether the discontinuation of the model raised concerns about parts availability. Stahl and Rockwell responded that the truck uses a Cummins engine, the same as the Village's main pumper and common in over- the-road trucks — and that the pump and most components are shared across other apparatus still in production. The reason for discontinuation was solely the space constraints imposed by new emissions equipment, not obsolescence of the truck's core systems. Stahl noted the emissions components on this 2016 model are early-generation and relatively simple. Hoyerman asked whether the existing mini-pumper would be sold to offset costs. Stahl estimated the truck could fetch $30,000–$50,000 given its approximately 20,000 miles. Rockwell noted that Gibraltar had expressed interest in the truck for use on Chambers Island, and that Washington Island had also shown interest after the truck operated at a mutual aid call there. Hoyerman also raised the question of whether the remaining Capital Reserve balance after the purchase would leave the Village adequately funded for future equipment needs. K. Nelson reviewed the Fire Department's Capital Reserve Account, noting that two prior fund lines — "Fire Department Equipment" and "All Fire Funds" — totaled approximately $394,000 (excluding the 2026 contribution), with an annual contribution of $70,000. He walked through MacDonald's equipment replacement list, highlighting the next major items: The International equipment van (a 1995 model originally slated for replacement in 2024, estimated at $75,000– $200,000), and the IH Tender, the main pumper (not due until approximately 2037, estimated by MacDonald at $1.5–$2.5 million). Rockwell noted the current station's size effectively constrains the tender truck and would likely require a tank replacement rather than a full replacement in the near term. Meacham said a comparable new truck would cost about $1 million, making the $300,000 asking price for a low-mileage, single-owner used vehicle highly favorable. He stated that the truck's single rear tire (as opposed to duals) is particularly suited to the Village's narrow roads. He echoed support for the purchase but emphasized that a professional inspection prior to finalizing the sale was his primary concern — the Village needed to confirm it was getting exactly what was represented. Mulliken reinforced this point, paraphrasing a sentiment shared by Committee members: "We just don't want to buy someone else's problem." She also confirmed that the current truck's low utilization is largely a function of its operational limitations, not a lack of need, and that the new truck would see significantly greater use. K. Nelson expressed concern about parts availability over time, noting parallels to the challenges currently being faced with the existing 1999 truck. He was reassured by the standardized nature of the 2016 truck's components and Stahl's explanation that the fire apparatus industry is converging on uniform computer and CAN bus standards. K. Nelson also noted the advantage of purchasing a used, previously operated vehicle in that any early operational issues would already have been identified and resolved. Stahl confirmed that the truck was previously owned by a single municipality, and that Ephraim’s Department Apparatus Committee officers — including their trusted apparatus company representative from Red Power — had already reviewed the specs and found the truck sound. He stated the officers' number one contingency was an in-person inspection before accepting the offer. Stahl explained that the broker's asking price is $300,000. Stahl reported that as of the morning of the meeting, the broker had communicated that two offers above the asking price had already been received. The Fire Department officers, having initially proposed $317,000, recommended 3 submitting a bid of $332,500 — formatted in the spirit of "The Price Is Right" — to position the Village competitively. Rockwell clarified that the $332,500 bid does not include transportation costs, estimated at $6,000– $8,000 to ship the truck from Katona, New York, via lowboy transport. Stahl suggested that the Firefighters Association might contribute to this cost, and noted potential connections through fire apparatus transport companies operating in the region. The Board noted that the Firefighters Association has previously funded items such as the brush truck. The Board discussed at length the conditions to be attached to the offer to purchase. The standard agreement provided by the broker was described as approximately a page and a half with minimal terms — notably silent on deposit requirements, payment timelines, and inspection rights. Hoyerman recommended that the agreement include an additional paragraph establishing: (1) Seller grants the purchaser the right to inspect the vehicle at defined location within a defined number of days of acceptance of the agreement; (2) Purchaser shall notify, deliverable by certified US Mail, as to whether the vehicle is acceptable to the purchaser within a defined days of the inspection and (3) Seller further grants the purchaser the right to rescind this agreement at the sole discretion of the purchaser. The Board agreed that Stahl and the consultant from Red Power would travel to New York — by air, as the 17-hour drive was deemed impractical — to conduct the inspection. Stahl indicated he was available on weekends if needed. The Board discussed the appropriate inspection window, settling on a period not to exceed 10 days from acceptance of the offer, with the understanding that the inspection would be completed as soon as schedules allowed. The exact number of days was to be confirmed by Bristol after Stahl consulted with the consultant on his availability. Bristol was also directed to contact the Village Attorney to review and formalize the addendum language before submission. The general sentiment was that while the timeline was not ideal and a more deliberate process would have been preferred, the opportunity was compelling, the need was well-established, the financial position was manageable, and this type of truck rarely comes to market. T. Nelson stressed that while the topic is new for the Village Board, it is not new to the Fire Department. They have been searching for a truck for some time. Further, the truck is number one on the Replacement Plan. Mulliken moved, T. Nelson seconded, to approve the purchase of the used 2016 HME 4x4 1,500-gallon mini-pumper truck not to exceed $332,500, with the contingencies outlined during the discussion [(1) Seller grants the purchaser the right to inspect the vehicle at defined location within not to exceed 10 days of acceptance of the agreement; (2) the purchaser shall notify, deliverable by certified US Mail, as to whether the vehicle is acceptable to the purchaser within 2 days of the inspection and (3) Seller further grants the purchaser the right to rescind this agreement at the sole discretion of the purchaser]., all ayes. Motion carried. 4. Adjournment: T. Nelson moved, Meacham seconded, to adjourn at 1:12 PM, all ayes. Motion carried. Recorded by, Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM FOUNDED 1853 INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: VILLAGE BOARD FROM: CLERK SUBJECT: CLERK’S REPORT SEPTEMBER 8, 2026 The month of August flew by. In the first half of the month, we were busy with Partisan Primary Election preparation. The Public Test of the ICE V oting System was held on Tuesday, August 4th, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Partisan Primary Election on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, went smoothly with a moderate voter turnout of 172. We processed 22 absentee ballots. The election was well-run and transparent thanks to our trained poll workers Deb Hagman-Shannon, Monique McClean, Karen McMurtry, Kristy Nelson, Wendy Nelson, and Maggie Peterman. I attended the 2026 Annual Wisconsin Municipal Clerk Association Conference in Green Bay. I reconnected with clerk friends, participated in many classes such as Ehics, Open Meeting Laws/Public Records, Alcohol Licensing, Elections, Roberts Rules of Order, socialized with vendors, and got upgrades from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities and Wisconsin Election Commission. I very much appreciate this learning opportunity. Thank you! DCTZC submitted updated Bylaws for your review and attached is a signature page. Please see in your packet for review and discussion. I have entered invoices for payment. I also processed payrolls and all the necessary government reports as well as reconciled bank and General Ledger. If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

A year is defined as concurrent with the Commission’s annual meeting schedule – i.e., June annual 9 meeting to June annual meeting. If the election of such executive committee members shall not be held at 10 such meeting, such election shall be held as soon thereafter as it may be convenient. After serving two 11 consecutive two-year terms, Commission members are eligible for reelection to the executive committee 12 after a one-year absence from the committee. Each committee member shall serve until the expiration of 13 his or her term and until a successor is chosen.

All executive committee members who engage in the Door County lodging industry 20 must remain in good standing with the Tourism Zone for the duration of their term. Additionally, all 21 executive committee members must maintain good attendance throughout their term in order to remain on 22 the committee. Although the Commission is unable to “enforce” participation, it is essential that we ensure 23 we are able to reach quorums in order to maintain functionality. Any committee member elected or appointed 24 by the Commission may be removed by the Commission whenever, in its judgment, the Commission’s best 25 interests will be served thereby. 26 27 Section 8.4 Vacancies.

The Commission shall indemnify a commissioner, officer or employee of the 21 Commission to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a 22 proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding, if the commissioner or officer was a 23 party because he or she is or was at the time of the events upon which the proceeding was based, a 24 commissioner or officer of the Commission. A commissioner or officer shall exercise his or her right to 25 indemnification under this Section 9.1 by delivering a written demand for indemnification to the 26 Commission’s Treasurer or the Chairperson if the party seeking indemnification is the Treasurer. 27 28 (b) Good Faith. In all cases not included in Section 9.1(a), the Tourism Zone shall indemnify a commissioner 29 or officer against liability incurred by the commissioner or officer in a proceeding to which the 30 commissioner or officer was a party because he or she is or was, at the time of the events upon which 31 the proceeding was based, a commissioner or officer of the Commission; provided that there is a 32 determination that the commissioner or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably 33 believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Commission, and provided that such act or 34 omission by the commissioner does not constitute a violation of criminal law, unless a commissioner or 35 officer had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to 36 believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Whether or not a commissioner shall be entitled to 37 indemnification under this Section 9.1(b) shall be determined in accordance with the procedures 38 established in Section 9.2. 39 40 (c) No Presumption. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea 41 of no contest or an equivalent plea, does not, by itself, create a presumption that indemnification of the 42 commissioner or officer is not required under this subsection. 43 44 Section 109.2 Determination of Right to Indemnification. A commissioner or officer seeking indemnification 45 under Article 9 shall first make a written request to the Commission’s Treasurer or the Commission’s Chairperson if 46 the person seeking indemnification is the Treasurer, for such indemnification. Determination of whether 47 indemnification is required shall be made by one of the following means: 48 49 (a) By a majority vote of a quorum of the Commission consisting of commissioners who are not at the time 50 11 Door County Tourism Zone Commission Bylaws 06/18/2026 parties to the same or related proceedings with respect to which the indemnification claim has been made. 1 If such quorum of disinterested commissioners cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee 2 duly appointed by the Commission and consisting solely of three (3) or more commissioners who are not 3 at the time parties to the same or related proceedings. Commissioners who are parties to the same or related 4 proceedings may participate in the designation of members of the committee. 5 6 (b) By independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of a quorum of the Commission or its committee 7 consisting of commissioners who are not at the time parties to the same or related proceedings; or, if such 8 a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of the full Commission, including commissioners who 9 are parties to the same or related proceedings. 10 11 (c) By a panel of three (3) arbitrators consisting of one (1) arbitrator selected by those commissioners entitled 12 under subsection (b) above to select independent legal counsel, one (1) arbitrator selected by the commissioner 13 or officer seeking indemnification, and one (1) arbitrator selected by the other two (2) arbitrators. 14 15 (d) By a court of competent jurisdiction upon application by the commissioner or officer for an initial 16 determination of entitlement to indemnification or for review by the court of an adverse determination. 17 Indemnification shall be ordered if the court determines that the commissioner or officer is entitled to 18 indemnification under Section 9.1 or that the commissioner or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to 19 indemnification by order of the court, in addition to indemnification against all other expenses and liability, 20 the commissioner or officer shall be reimbursed for expenses reasonably incurred in pursuing his or her 21 request for indemnification. 22 23 (e) The commissioner or officer of the Commission seeking indemnification shall designate in his or her 24 request for indemnification the method of making the indemnification determination. 25 26 Section 10.3 Advance of Expenses as Incurred. The Commission may, upon written request by the 27 commissioner or officer, pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a commissioner or officer who 28 is a party to the proceedings, as those expenses are incurred, if the commissioner or officer furnishes the Commission 29 with a written affirmation. 30 31 Section 10.4 Insurance. The Commission shall purchase or provide insurance on behalf of its commissioners and 32 officers, or to reimburse itself, against liability asserted or incurred and expenses incurred by the commissioner or 33 officer in connection with a proceeding brought against the commissioner or officer in his or her capacity as 34 commissioner or officer or arising from his or her status as a commissioner or officer, regardless of whether the 35 Commission is required or authorized to indemnify the individual against the same liability pursuant to the 36 provisions hereof. 37 38 Section 10.5 Severability. To the extent any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the indemnification 39 provided under this Article 9 shall be invalid as applied to a particular claim, issue or matter, the provisions hereof 40 shall be deemed amended to allow and require indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by law. 41 42 ARTICLE 110 43 44 RATIFICATION AND AMENDMENTS 45 46 Section 110.1 Ratification. Ratification of these Bylaws and any proposed alterations, amendments or deletions to 47 the provisions thereto shall be by two-thirds (2/3) assenting vote of all member municipalities. 48 49 Section 110.2 Action on Proposed Modifications.

The open shoreline is one of Ephraim’s most distinctive features and is characterized by buildings sited on mostly small non-conforming lots. This ordinance is intended to preserve the open views of the shoreline as well as the historic appearance of Ephraim’s built environment while also allowing for some leeway for Protected Waterfront (PW) District property owners to modify or replace their residences. Consistent with the intent and provisions of the Ephraim Historic District Ordinance (§17.26), property owners are encouraged to use and maintain their existing residences. However, if residential modification or replacement is desired, such modification or replacement must strictly conform to the provisions of §17.20 and §17.26. 2) PERMITTED USES. a) Park and open spaces, provided that any proposed structural elements are given conditional use approval. b) Beaches, provided that any proposed structural elements are given conditional use approval. c) Reproduction: i) Structures destroyed by natural disaster or fires in this district may be reproduced using the former dimensions and location, subject to design review and §17.20(7). ii) Reproduction of the existing structures, subject to design review and §17.20(7). 3) CONDITIONAL USES. a) On parcels where there is not a residence: i) Dockage and launching; ii) Boat and related rentals; iii) Sale of marine fuel and accessories for marine use only; iv) New structures necessary for permitted uses in the district, including bathrooms. v) Non-profit organizations on village- owned property. Sales within such shall be subject to any existing lease or other agreements with the village. In the event that no such agreement speaking to sales exists, the Village of Ephraim Planning Committee, through Conditional Use review, shall oversee and have final approval over any such sales area. This review will include, but is not limited to, the type of merchandise sold and the total amount of display area the merchandise will envelop. b) On parcels where there is a structure, additions/modifications to or replacement of existing structures, subject to §17.20(6) and §17.20(8). 4) PROHIBITED USES. a) New construction on vacant lots is prohibited in the PW District, as structures are limited to those existing on or before January 1, 1998. b) Home occupations are not permitted in the PW District. 5) SPECIAL EXCEPTION REVIEW. The provisions of this section, including the setback and lot coverage requirements from §17.24, shall be mandated except in the case of buildings, structures, or public projects along the shoreline that are deemed to be in the greatest interest to the public by a majority of the Plan Committee and a majority of the Village Board, and this exception can occur only through special exception review. 6) EXCEPTIONS FOR ADDITIONS OR MODIFICATIONS OF EXISTING RESIDENCES AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS IN THE PROTECTED WATERFRONT DISTRICT (PW). When working with a goal to retain the original residence, exceptions for additions or modifications may be considered by the Plan Committee, so long as the additions or modifications match the original architecture to preserve the special character of the PW District. 7) REPRODUCTION OF EXISTING STRUCTURES IN THE PROTECTED WATERFRONT DISTRICT. a) Structure Reproduction: A structure reproduction means creating a replica of the existing structure in terms of footprint, size, volume, and appearance. Unique features, materials, and architectural details of the original structure must be replicated, including design and materials. The materials must be sourced to ensure authenticity. Intricate elements such as moldings, windows, and other unique characteristics are essential to the reproduction. b) Design Criteria: Modern materials may only be substituted for original materials insofar as they are consistent with the provisions of §17.20(7)(a) and subject to design review and design criteria in §17.26, Historic District. 8) ADDITIONS/MODIFICATIONS TO OR REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING RESIDENCES AND ACCESSORY BUILDINGS. “PW DESIGN REVIEW”.

Footprints of attached garages can be modified so long as there is no increase in the width, as measured parallel to STH 42, and no increase in the total footprint. No upper level will be allowed over the reclaimed square footage of the attached garage. c. Footprints in the PW District cannot be increased with the following exception: Consideration may be given to principal building footprint increases when existing accessory buildings are to be removed. The footprint of the accessory building may be reclaimed and combined with the principal building, provided there is no increase in the width of the footprint, as measured parallel to STH 42, of the principal building.

Pervious surfaces for parking are preferred in this district. b. Consideration given to allow for ten percent (10%) additional lot coverage when that area will be used for adding off-street parking. 10) PERMIT APPLICATION. a.

The current overhang is not original to the building and was added on many years ago and under it is the Village Posting location, EBC Map and Brochure holder along with some old wires. The suggestion is to move the Village Posting Location to the area adjacent to the library entrance where more residents have the opportunity to look at various Village Agendas. Our plan is to remove the overhang completely and return the building to its previous look, removing any old wiring and repainting and touch up what has not been seen for years. We spoke with Kelsey at the EBC about this project and she was on board to have it done, we would be relocating the EBC Map and Brochure holder to a different spot near where it is located now and it will be powered by solar downlighting.

Aircraft registration numbers are to be promptly filed with the Gibraltar Town Clerk. ii. In addition to the primary aircraft, the hangar owner/Lessee may allow others to store aircraft or other items as stated in the Lease or these SOPs. d. After the hangar owner/Lessee has established primary use with their own aircraft, the owner/Lessee may enter into a sublease agreement under the conditions of the Sublease Policy and with approval of the Ephraim -Gibraltar Airport Commission. The Term of this sublease will be for a period of six (6) months and will generally be limited to the winter months between November and May unless otherwise approved by the Airport Commission. e. Hangar Use i. The hangar must be actively used by the hangar owner/Lessee for a significant portion of time or frequency during a calendar year. ii. In general, non-use for aircraft storage is allowed during the winter (November through May) or for reasonable periods of aircraft maintenance. The owner/Lessee must notify the Airport Commiss ion of any extended periods of non-use for aeronautical purposes. iii. Storage of non-aero nautical materials is allowed providing they do not impede the movement of the primary aircraft in or out of the hangar or access to other approved aeronautical contents of the hangar. 2. Security- see "Airport Hangar Lease", all terms of which always apply. 3. Commercial Activities a. The Airport will be available as an airport for public use on reasonable terms and without unjust discrimination to all types, kinds and classes of aeronautical activities, including commercial aeronautical activities offering services to the public at the airport (per FAA Airport Sponsor Assurances 5/2022). b.

Absent: Monique McClean. Staff: Brent Bristol - Village Administrator. Guests: John Cox. Call to Order: K. Nelson called the working session to order at 12:00 PM. K. Nelson opened the session by explaining that the purpose of the working session was to conduct a final review of the PW Ordinance before its formal approval at the 7:00 p.m. Plan Committee meeting that evening. He noted that, upon approval, the ordinance would be officially forwarded to the Village Board, which would then set it for a public hearing in two weeks. K. Nelson indicated that he had received written comments from Village Board Trustee Carly Mulliken, and invited any final thoughts from Plan Committee members before addressing her comments. K. Nelson proceeded to read through the written comments submitted by Trustee Carly, which concerned the use of the term "footprint" throughout the ordinance, and addressed each in turn. Regarding section 8(a)(i)(a.): “Footprints of finished interior space (see definition in §17.09) in the PW District can be modified so long as there is no increase in the width, as measured parallel to STH 42, of the residence or accessory buildings, and no increase in the total footprint”; Mulliken suggested that the final use of the word "footprint" in this section be replaced with "square foot," stating she felt that phrasing made more sense. K. Nelson directed the Committee's attention to the definition of "footprint" in Section 17.09, which defines footprint as "the area of a single horizontal plane bounded by the exterior walls of the building expressed in square feet." K. Nelson noted that the definition itself already incorporates square feet because footprint is measured in square feet. Bartelt expressed concern that substituting "square foot" for "footprint" would introduce unnecessary confusion, as the two terms convey the same concept. Thorp agreed, stating that "footprint" is intentional ordinance terminology that is well-defined within the document. Held concurred, noting her hesitation to remove the established term. Hoyerman further emphasized that "footprint" is a term of art specific to this ordinance, and that replacing it risked confusing readers into thinking it referred to the total square footage of the entire structure. The Committee reached consensus that the language should remain as written. Regarding section 8(a)(i)(b.): “Footprints of attached garages can be modified so long as there is no increase in the width, as measured parallel to STH 42, and no increase in the total footprint. No upper level will be allowed over the reclaimed square footage of the attached garage”; Mulliken again suggested replacing the final use of "footprint" with "square footage." The Committee agreed this raised the same issue as the comment for Section 8(a)(i)(a.) and that the same rationale applied. Thorp noted that where the ordinance already uses the phrase "no upper level will be allowed over the reclaimed square footage," the use of "square footage" is appropriate in that context because it refers to something distinct from the footprint itself. Bartelt concurred that this sentence referred to upper-level square footage rather than the footprint. The Committee agreed no change was warranted in response to this comment. Regarding section 8(a)(i)(c.): “Footprints in the PW District cannot be increased with the following exception: Consideration given to principal building footprint increases when existing accessory buildings are to be removed. The footprint of the accessory building may be reclaimed and combined with the principal building, provided there is no increase in the width of the footprint, as measured parallel to STH 42, of the principal building. No upper level will be allowed over the reclaimed square footage of the accessory building.”; Mulliken suggested that the references to "footprint" and "square foot" be reconciled in the subsection addressing conditions under which footprint increases may be considered when accessory buildings are removed. She also 2 suggested an alternative opening for the section framed around "an overall increase in finished interior square footage." K. Nelson again directed the Committee back to the existing definition, stating the use of "footprint" was consistent and that any change would be redundant. Bartelt noted a separate concern with the language in Section 8(a)(i)(c.), "Consideration given to principal building footprint increases," observing that it read as an incomplete and awkward construction. He acknowledged it was a minor stylistic concern but suggested that the sentence would read more clearly if it began with the subject of the exception and used "may be given" rather than simply "given," so as to preserve the Committee's discretionary authority without making a binding commitment. Held and Thorp agreed that retaining "consideration" language was preferable, as it preserved flexibility. After brief discussion of alternative phrasings, the Committee reached agreement that the most practical correction was to amend the phrase to read "Consideration may be given to principal building footprint increases," with all members affirming the change. Regarding Mulliken's broader suggestion to reframe the section around "finished interior square footage," Held noted that the existing structure, stating that the footprint cannot be increased, subject to one exception already conveyed clearly within the ordinance, and no further change was deemed necessary. K. Nelson thanked the Committee members for their sustained effort over the preceding two and a half months, noting that the ordinance would provide owners, developers, and architects with a substantially clearer framework. He referenced a one-page summary document he had prepared for the Village Board, highlighting what had become more or less restrictive under the revised ordinance, and suggested Committee members use it as a reference tool when fielding public questions. K. Nelson noted that he would not be present at the September Village Board meeting and asked Hoyerman to carry the lead for the Plan Committee at that session. He explained that the September board meeting would serve to set the ordinance for a formal public hearing, with the Board's final decision expected at the October meeting. K. Nelson confirmed signs were the next priority item on the Plan Committee's agenda, referencing concerns about “sail-style” signs and businesses using multiple signs. Bristol advised that he intended to send a letter to all commercial property owners in the near term, informing them of the existing sign ordinance requirements and notifying them that the Plan Committee would begin formal discussion of the topic at its October meeting. The letter would invite participation by the businesses in the discussion process. Bristol also noted that he had met with Kelsey Stone of the Ephraim Business Council (EBC). EBC is preparing a draft business survey in connection with the upcoming quarterly meeting with the EBC and Ephraim Historical Foundation, which Bristol indicated he would review for alignment with the Committee's objectives before it was distributed. The Committee agreed that no noon working sessions would be held in September, and that the next working session would be scheduled for October. Hoyerman moved, Held seconded, to adjourn at 12:25 PM.

Visitors’ Comments: There were no Visitors’ Comments. 6. Cora Elquist– Town Line Drive- New SFR – Design Review: Bristol provided an introduction, noting that the application had appeared the previous month as a concept review. At that time, the project appeared to potentially require a special exception due to a maximum 2 height reading of 32 feet. Upon further review, the averaged height calculation brought the structure within the standard allowance, eliminating the need for a special exception. No dimensional concerns were identified. Applicant Cora Elquist presented material samples to the C ommittee. She described the exterior finishes as follows: LP SmartSide siding in an onyx (black) color, black window frames, black doors, black garage doors, and a "pristine green" three-dimensional architectural shingle for the roof. All trim elements were described as black, making the roof the sole non-black exterior element. A discussion was held regarding the New SFR Design Review Application. In response to a question from Held regarding visibility from Townline Road, Elquist confirmed that the home would not be visible from the road, as it is situated well back on a large property with significant tree coverage. Bartelt also noted that the elevations were more appealing with windows incorporated into the design compared to the prior concept review. Thorp moved, Held seconded, to approve the New SFR Design Review application for Cora Elquist on Town Line Drive parcel 121-01-24312714B3 as presented, all ayes. Motion carried. Bartelt asked about the driveway, which was confirmed to be situated on an easement across the adjoining property, owned by Elquist's father. Elquist indicated her intention to begin construction as soon as possible. 7. Smart Custom Homes – 10471 Valvere Way– New SFR – Design Review Bristol introduced the application, noting that the applicants had appeared before the Committee twice previously for other lots within the Valvere development. He noted that the lot dimensions, impervious surface totals, and building separations were consistent with prior approved lots in the subdivision, and that no dimensional concerns were identified. Maureen Bryfcznski of Smart Custom Homes presented the application for Lot 5 at 10471 Valvere Way. She provided a rendering and material samples. The exterior was described as LP SmartSide siding, black doors, black garage doors, white trim, and black dimensional architectural shingles. A rendering was distributed in place of a physical shingle sample. A discussion was held regarding the NEW SFR Design Review Application for 10471 Valvere Way. It was noted that the main gable featured a 14:12 pitch, which exceeds the standard 12:12 threshold. Bristol clarified that pitches over 12:12 do not require a special exception but did warrant additional Committee consideration. Hoyerman expressed that he found the steeper roof aesthetically appealing. The Committee inquired whether the design was sufficiently differentiated from the other homes in the development. Bryfcznski confirmed that this is the only home in the development featuring a shed dormer, which provides clear exterior differentiation, and that the second home on the agenda (10467 Valvere Way) features two gables, further distinguishing the designs from one another. Thorp asked whether the homes were model homes or pre-sold. Bryfcznski indicated that one was intended to operate as a short-term rental (STR) and the other potentially kept as a personal getaway, though that had not been finalized. Following the motion, a permanent resident of the Valvere neighborhood, Shane Poda, (2844 Velvere Court), came forward to raise several concerns. He and his wife were identified as one of two permanent, full-time resident households in the neighborhood. His concerns included: • Sight Lines: His front porch directly faces the rear of 10472 Valvere Way, and he was concerned that back patios on adjacent STR properties would create privacy issues for both parties. • Covenant Compliance and Character of Development: He expressed concern that the original character of the development—emphasizing natural surroundings, pervious surfaces, and tree 3 preservation—could be eroded when properties are developed primarily as business ventures rather than as personal residences. • Parking and Occupancy: Mr. Poda reported that the week prior, a neighboring STR had nine cars present, five of which were parked on the street. He expressed concern that with up to eight high- occupancy STRs in the neighborhood, the development could routinely see 50 to 70 vehicles at any given time, which he found excessive. He noted that the high-occupancy nature of these rentals— advertised to sleep 10 to 15 people—was a contributing factor, as large family groups rarely carpool. K. Nelson acknowledged the concerns and provided context, noting that the State of Wisconsin had preempted local municipalities from prohibiting short-term rentals outright. He noted that STR operators in Ephraim are required to obtain renewed permits annually, and that the Village monitors how properties are advertised. He encouraged Poda to report instances of excessive parking to the Village directly, including with photographic documentation, as parking regulations do apply. Further, K. Nelson noted that the Village does not get involved in associations and their related covenants and restrictions. Poda noted that the intention of the developer was not to have the development turn into STRs; however, he had to sell the lots, and STRs are controlled by the State. K. Nelson encouraged Poda to work with the association. Poda explained that the majority of owners are STRs, so why would they vote for any changes? Bristol confirmed that parking rules are included in the Village's STR requirements and that documentation of violations would be useful. Bryfcznski responded to Poda's concerns. She noted that Ephraim's STR permitting process is notably more stringent than neighboring municipalities such as Fish Creek. She stated that tenants are required to keep vehicles within the driveway, with two cars permitted in the garage and the remainder in the driveway only. She further noted that parties and unplanned gatherings are explicitly prohibited under their rental rules. She acknowledged that while the listed occupancy can reach 14 persons, the actual composition is typically around 8 adults with the remainder being children. She also noted that higher- end rentals tend to attract guests who are more inclined to follow rules. She explained that she respected Poda’s concerns and that they will do their best in managing the properties. Thorp moved, Bartelt seconded, to approve the New SFR Design Review A pplication for Smart Custom Homes at 10471 Valvere Way, as presented, all ayes. Motion carried. 8. Smart Custom Homes –10467 Valvere Way– New SFR – Design Review Maureen Bryfcznski presented the second application for Smart Custom Homes, for the adjacent property at 10467 Valvere Way. She provided a rendering and material samples, describing the exterior as LP SmartSide siding with brown garage doors, distinguishing this home from the neighboring 10471 Valvere Way design. Shane Poda again raised the sight-line concern relevant to this property as well, clarifying that 10472 Valvere Way's rear faces directly toward his front porch, and that the location of a back patio on that lot would determine the degree of the privacy issue for both parties. He noted that there was currently a nice tree line but was unsure if it would be maintained during the construction process. Bryfcznski indicated that they intended to preserve the trees as much as they can. Further, their goal is to situate the patio on the 10468 side of the home rather than facing Poda's property, which would address his concern. Another member of the Smart Custom Homes team stated that the shared well between the two Smart Custom Homes lots is located on the garage side and that they intended to preserve a tree between the properties. 4 K. Nelson expressed that he was glad both parties had the opportunity to speak directly, characterizing the dialogue as a productive exchange with future neighbors. Thorp moved, Hoyerman seconded, to approve the New SFR Design Review Application for Smart Custom Homes at 10467 Valvere Way, as presented, all ayes. Motion carried. 9. Discussion and consideration regarding PW Ordinance Amendment: K. Nelson provided background for visitors present, explaining that the Plan Committee had been working on an amendment to the Protected Waterfront (PW) Ordinance over the preceding three months. He described the protected waterfront as the stretch of Ephraim's shoreline running from Anderson Dock southward to the area near the creek outlet by the Little Plum Cottage. This zone carries particularly strict zoning controls. The Committee's objective throughout the summer had been to create limited allowances for minor property improvements within this zone, while maintaining its protective character. K. Nelson noted that a working session had been held that same afternoon at noon, during which the final substantive change was made: the insertion of the two words "may be" into section 8(a)(i)(c), modifying it to read "consideration may be given," to provide greater flexibility in application. He acknowledged that the ordinance had not yet been distributed in its updated form reflecting this change, as it had only been finalized hours prior. K. Nelson invited any final comments from the Committee, noting that he was not seeking new substantive ideas given the extensive hours already invested. He explained the procedural path forward: following Committee approval, the amendment would go to the Village Board in two weeks. From there, it would be referred for a Public Hearing, with final Village Board consideration anticipated in October. Bartelt moved, Held seconded, to recommend to the Village Board approval of the amended Protected Waterfront Ordinance as presented; all ayes. Motion carried. 15. New business for next meeting / next meeting date: The next meeting date of the Plan Committee is September 22, 2026, at 7:00 PM. 16. Adjournment: Held moved, Hoyerman seconded to adjourn at 7:33 PM; all ayes. Motion carried. Recorded by Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk 1 VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM PHYSICAL FACILITIES & UTILITIES MINUTES TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2026, 8:00 AM 9996 WATER STREET Action Items: Flottman moved, Lohman seconded to approve the minutes of August 4, 2026, all ayes. Motion carried. The consensus of the Physical Facilities & Utilities Committee members present was that a walkthrough is warranted before making final recommendations with the PFU Committee meeting on site at its regularly scheduled time. The Committee discussed the logistics of the walkthrough. The PFU Committee will walk first to reach an internal consensus, then invite the Village Board to join later in the same morning—or at a minimum, have the Chair as board representative present findings. It was agreed that the October meeting would be held as a walking meeting on the path, beginning at 8:00 AM, with the tree and bollard placement to be assessed simultaneously. Lohman moved to adjourn at 8:59 AM, Flottman seconded, all ayes. Motion carried. Present: Paul Flottman, Scott Lohman, Brian Reinhardt, and Matt Meacham – Chair. Absent: None. Staff: Brent Bristol – Village Administrator, Justin MacDonald – Maintenance Manager/Fire Chief, and Kim Roberts - Deputy Clerk. Guests online: Kelsey Stone (EBC). Guests in person: Tom Wolffe, Bruce Nelson, John Held, and Carly Mulliken. 1. Call to Order: Meacham called the meeting to order at 8:00 AM. Quorum: A quorum was present for this meeting. 2. Changes in Agenda: There were none. 3. Approval of Previous Minutes: Flottman moved, Lohman seconded to approve the minutes of August 4, 2026, all ayes. Motion carried. 4. Visitors’ Comments: John Held, addressed the Committee with concerns regarding the boat parking area on German Road. He noted that he regularly uses the green area for garbage disposal and has observed activity that appears inconsistent with the original design intent of the lot. Specifically, he observed boats being stored in the area, jet ski trailers present despite only one approved jet ski in the marina, and fewer than half of the trailers displaying a valid sticker authorizing use of the lot. He noted that his understanding of the original rules restricted the lot to trailers only, for those holding slips at the Firehouse Marina or Anderson Dock, or for transients. He asked whether the rules had changed, and if so, what they now are and who is responsible for enforcing them. 5. Maintenance Manager Report: MacDonald provided the monthly report, noting that August activity was similar to prior years. Regular operations included bathroom cleaning, lawn mowing, and watering. Additional work completed during the period included: • Multiple pressure washings of Anderson Dock and the gazebo at Harborside Park. • Painting of all exterior trim at the village office prior to August 11th. • Installation of an electrical outlet at the beach by Northern Electric to allow the drinking fountain to function properly. • Tree trimming and brush clearing around Anderson Dock along the lot lines and parking lot. 2 • Beach cleanup on the newly acquired property north of the marina. • Ditch mowing, carpet cleaning at the library, and assistance to the EBC with their "Sweet Summer Send Off" event. • Completion of paving and shouldering work by the highway department on various streets and at the wastewater facility. • Ongoing work with the EBC to relocate the map at the Visitor Center. 6. Discussion and Recommendation of tree at the Library: Meacham provided background, noting that a tree at the library had been removed approximately two years prior, with the understanding that the Committee would later consider replacement. He observed that the area has since filled in with grass. MacDonald cautioned that any replacement tree must not be permitted to grow above the roofline, as replacement tiles for the building's roof are no longer available. Any branch or limb fall onto the roof would necessitate an entirely new roof structure, making tree selection critical. Carly Mulliken, Chair of the Library Committee, addressed the Committee. She noted that in 2025, the Library Committee had discussed and suggested a sugar maple as a replacement—acknowledging this runs counter to MacDonald's recommendation. She shared that she had spoken with Suzanne Ihrig, the librarian, who indicated that patrons seem to miss the shade tree and that the space is seeing less use without it. Mulliken acknowledged the limitations and the reason for the original removal, but conveyed the Committee's preference for a shade tree if feasible. A discussion was held regarding a replacement tree at the library. Meacham inquired whether a picnic table or bench, rather than a shade tree, might improve utilization of the space. Mulliken responded that while it would not provide shade, it could make the area more functional and suggested trialing the picnic table to observe any change in usage. MacDonald noted that the Village does have a picnic table available and offered to bring it down. The Committee agreed that MacDonald would bring the picnic table to the library area, and that the Library Committee would reconvene prior to next month's meeting—scheduled for the 10th—to discuss alternative tree suggestions and report back to the Committee. 7. Discussion and Recommendation on Placement & Number of Trees on North End Path Tom Wolffe, presented a preliminary review of tree species options for the North End Path, with a focus on urban-tolerant plant material suitable for a roadside environment. He recommended crabapples, for their multi-season interest—flowering, fruit display, and winter habit. He also noted catalpa trees as a possibility, characterizing them as asymmetrical, urban-tolerant, and historically used as street trees in Milwaukee and Madison, though acknowledging they have fallen somewhat out of favor. He also discussed the Redmond Linden, a basswood variety originating from North Dakota, as a cold-hardy option with good fall color and winter habit, which he suggested would be well-suited for the area in front of Green Gables. Wolffe emphasized that soil quality is a critical factor. He noted that the area likely contains construction rubble and glacial till, and he recommended digging large planting pits—referencing a prior project in Egg Harbor where 180 trees were planted using 8-foot by 4-foot, 35-inch deep pits filled with quality soil—to give trees the best possible start. He cautioned against placing an expensive tree in a poor planting hole. He also flagged road salt from Highway 42 as a concern, noting that airborne salt can suppress growth or burn one side of a tree, and suggested anti-transpirant spray treatments in the first year. On watering, Wolffe outlined the general rule of thumb: The first year, the tree sleeps. The second year, it creeps. The third year, it leaps. He recommended at least one inch of supplemental water per week in the first year, using a mulch basin to facilitate efficient watering, and noted that after establishment, trees should generally manage with natural rainfall. 3 Meacham stated that he had walked the path the prior day and expressed concern that while the plan is strong in concept, conditions on the ground present practical challenges. He noted that in the area near the former Sled Dog property, there is already planted shrubs close to the path, leaving limited space. Similarly, in the Green Gables area, Welford has recently planted a row of trees between the parking lot and the path, further constraining available planting locations. Meacham expressed concern that adding more trees would appear crowded and aesthetically inconsistent. Meacham identified the southern entrance area of the church as a potentially good location for a larger specimen tree such as a white oak or sugar maple, a suggestion that had been raised at the prior meeting by Bruce Nelson. B. Nelson agreed, noting that the open area there would allow planting further from the path, reducing root-pavement conflict, and noted that he had worked with Bob Bultman for species recommendations. B. Nelson raised the general principle that planting a monoculture—a single species in a long row— creates vulnerability to pests and disease, referencing the emerald ash borer and beech beetle as examples, and suggested that greater species variation would be more prudent long-term. Meacham noted that the area south of the Green Gables, in front of the George Burr Gallery, could accommodate some smaller ornamental trees such as crabapples. He also raised a concern relevant to both trees and the upcoming bollard discussion: Much of the north section of the path receives sun only from the east in the morning, with the canopy blocking afternoon sun after approximately noon to 1:00 PM. The area around the former Sled Dog property and toward the George Burr Gallery remains more open and better suited for sun-dependent plantings. Bristol discussed the areas of the path that fall within the right-of-way—approximately 33 feet from the centerline—and that while the Village has the authority to plant within that zone without the property owner's consent, the Village had engaged with all adjacent property owners during construction. He acknowledged Welford's particular interest in the landscaping along his property and suggested it may be worth determining whether the property owners' preferences align with the Committee's plans. MacDonald echoed Meacham's observations from their walk and seconded the recommendation for a walkthrough. Flottman suggested a formal field trip or walking meeting to stake out potential tree locations in person, noting that mature tree canopy spreads are difficult to visualize on a map and that planning for long-term growth is essential. The consensus of the Physical Facilities & Utilities Committee members present was that a walkthrough is warranted before making final recommendations with the PFU Committee meeting on site at its regularly scheduled time. The Committee discussed the logistics of the walkthrough. The PFU Committee will walk first to reach an internal consensus, then invite the Village Board to join later in the same morning—or at a minimum, have the Chair as board representative present findings. It was agreed that the October meeting would be held as a walking meeting on the path, beginning at 8:00 AM, with the tree and bollard placement to be assessed simultaneously. 8. Discussion and Recommendation on Placement of Solar Bollards on North End Path: A discussion was held regarding placement of the solar bollards on the North End Path. Meacham presented the solar bollard placement plan as shown on the screen, walking through proposed locations from south to north. It was noted that at intersections where there is already Cobra Lighting, solar bollards may not need to be installed. Further, there are bollards shown on the curb side that would need to be moved to the opposite side of the path for consistency and to protect it from county snowplow operations. MacDonald reinforced this point, expressing concern that heavy, wet snow thrown by county plows traveling along Highway 42 at speed could knock the bollards off if placed on the highway-side edge. Meacham also flagged that a bollard shown further north falls within a heavily shaded area where it would receive limited sunlight—potentially only six hours at peak—due to the tree canopy. He 4 expressed doubt about whether that location would generate sufficient solar charge. The Committee agreed that a physical walkthrough is necessary to finalize bollard placement, and that the installation contractor should ideally be present or consulted in connection with the walking meeting. Bristol noted that bollard placement and tree placement should be considered together, as digging for bollard installation could interfere with tree planting pits. He also noted that updated placement maps could be produced following the walkthrough for board review. The Committee agreed to address this item at the October walking meeting, alongside the tree placement discussion. 9. Update on Moravia Point: MacDonald reported that he had spoken with Bob Bultman the prior week. Bultman's plan was to complete a first herbicide spray treatment that week, followed by a second application in a few weeks. He anticipated burning the site sometime in late October or early November, with a first seeding to follow just before the first snowfall, depending on weather conditions. MacDonald noted that the project is proceeding as a prairie restoration, which is inherently a slow process, but that steps are materializing to move forward. 10. Discussion and consideration of newly acquired property north of the marina. Meacham introduced the item, noting that the Village has acquired a parcel adjacent to the marina building and that some vegetation removal will be needed to clean up the site. He opened discussion on whether the Committee supports extending the sidewalk to connect through that property. A discussion was held regarding the newly acquired Village property north of the marina. Flottman stated that extending the sidewalk seemed logical, as completing the connection to the marina area fills an obvious gap in the pedestrian network. Lohman asked whether the Marina Committee had considered using the property for a kayak or canoe launch. John Held and Bruce Nelson, members of the Marina Committee, were present and addressed the question. Held noted that the marina already has a kayak launch—a small pier referred to as the "green launch"—with a $3 launch fee, though it is not heavily used. He stated that the Marina Committee was present to hear the PFU Committee's recommendations rather than to present their own, and that he anticipated the Marina Committee would be willing to develop ideas and bring them back for review. B. Nelson outlined that the board had previously approved consideration of a widened shoulder along Highway 42 on that property, which could add a small number of parallel parking spots. He indicated the Marina Committee would be meeting the following day to discuss the parcel. He expressed support for extending the walkway to connect to the marina building and then to the crosswalk at the Firehouse Museum. He noted that the shoreline question—whether to install a rock wall, maintain a beach, and whether it would function as a swimming area—is a more complex discussion that the Committee has not yet engaged in depth, and suggested treating it as a separate conversation. Lohman expressed agreement that the path extension makes sense and that cleaning up the overgrown vegetation should be a near-term priority, with end use of the parcel to be determined later. Bristol noted that as Harbormaster, he sees the parcel as an exciting opportunity but that no master plan exists yet. He indicated that any significant marina expansion—additional slips, breakwater—would likely be a million-dollar-plus project requiring extensive dredging. On the shoulder and path extension, he noted that while a verbal indication of support from the DOT was received after the 2020 shoreline project, there has been a change of personnel at the DOT and that prior approval can no longer be assumed. He suggested that if the path is designed to remain off the right-of-way, DOT approval may not be required. He also noted the presence of an electrical transformer and communication equipment on the east side of the marina building that would need to be navigated depending on whether the path runs on the highway side or the water side. 5 Held clarified that the newly acquired property is not marina property, and expressed that the Marina Committee had come to hear the PFU Committee's recommendations, not to be tasked with developing the plan themselves, though he acknowledged the Marina Committee would be willing to bring forward ideas for review. Meacham clarified that the intent was not to transfer responsibility but to be respectful of the Marina Committee's interests given the adjacency of the parcel. Lohman affirmed that the Board would ultimately make the final decision, ideally informed by recommendations from both Committees. B. Nelson agreed there is no time urgency, and suggested separating the discussion into two tracks: near- term cleanup and path/parking planning, and a longer-term conversation about the shoreline. 11. New Business for the next meeting: a. Meacham raised the issue of several properties in the Village with excessively high grass that needs to be cut. He noted the Village has an ordinance addressing noxious weeds and grass height. b. 2027 Budget 12. Adjournment: Lohman moved to adjourn at 8:59 AM, Flottman seconded, all ayes. Motion carried. Recorded by, Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk 1 VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM MARINAS AND MOORINGS MINUTES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2026 – 8:00 AM 9996 Water Street - Ephraim Village Hall Action Items: B. Nelson moved, Thorp seconded to approve the minutes of August 5, 2026, as presented, all ayes. Motion carried. The consensus of the Marinas and Moorings Committee members present regarding parcels 121240033B and 121240031C was to consider expanding state highway parking along the parcels as a priority to the greatest extent possible, to extend the existing walking path that originates from the North, and the method of how to extend the walking path is to be determined and may need preliminary engineering to answer pending questions about grade and curb separation, and a path spur from the parking spaces to the marina building is not recommended. B. Nelson moved, Thorp seconded to adjourn at 9:45 AM, all ayes. Motion carried. Present: John Held, Bruce Nelson, Bob Plansky, BD Thorp, Tim Nelson-Chair. Absent: None. Guests: None. Staff: Brent Bristol - Village Administrator/Harbormaster, Justin MacDonald – Fire Chief/Maintenance Manager, and Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk. 1. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order by T. Nelson at 8:01 AM. 2. Changes to the agenda: There were no changes. 3. Visitors’ Comments: There were no comments. 4. Approval of the previous minutes: B. Nelson moved, Thorp seconded to approve the minutes of August 5, 2026, as presented, all ayes. Motion carried. 5. Discussion regarding future use of newly acquired property north of Firehouse Dock: The Committee engaged in substantial discussion regarding the future development of the newly acquired property north of the Firehouse Dock. Held and B. Nelson collaborated and presented two (2) conceptual proposals to the Committee to consider and review visually during the meeting. Site Overview The site was described as bounded to the north by the existing walkway, with a limited asphalt shoulder along the road serving as a step-out area for parked vehicles. The site also contains some underbrush, a potentially salvageable tree, a manhole cover near the marina office, and utility boxes. An existing cement sidewalk originates from near the launch ramp and connects the area to the crosswalk leading to the Firehouse Museum. Parking Expansion Both proposals incorporated the addition of parking spaces along the road, extending southward from the current last designated parking spot. Preliminary measurements suggested a possibly exaggerated maximum of seven (7) additional spaces, though it was acknowledged that large vehicles with trailers could effectively reduce the usable number and create sightline concerns for drivers exiting the marina. The Committee broadly agreed that expanding parking to the extent legally and practically feasible was a high priority. It was noted that any parking added should be formally documented, as those spaces could be credited toward future marina expansion requirements. Bristol noted that marina expansion is subject to parking ratios, and that documenting a net gain in parking spaces now could protect the Committee's options down the road, even if expansion is not an immediate goal. A prior informal understanding with the DOT that 2 would have allowed a simple extended shoulder to serve as a walking path was noted to no longer be viable given changes in DOT personnel and policy. Walkway Extension The second major element discussed was extending the pedestrian walkway through the property to connect the existing northern path to the marina area and ultimately to the crosswalk toward the Firehouse Museum. Two (2) conceptual alignments were presented: One routing the path closer to the highway, and one routing it along the shoreline side of the property. The highway-adjacent alignment would likely require a barrier curb between the parking stalls and the walkway per DOT standards, and would preserve the bulk of the interior green space. The shoreline- adjacent alignment would follow the water's edge, potentially requiring some fill, and would necessitate coordination with the existing beach and natural shoreline features. Both alignments were noted to have similar walkway widths and comparable impact on overall green space. It was agreed that both options remained viable and would benefit from preliminary engineering review to answer questions about curb requirements before a final recommendation is made. Spur Walkway A proposed spur walkway running between the marina building and the dinghy storage area was discussed as an element of one of the concepts. After debate, the Committee reached consensus that no spur walkway should be included in either option. Members expressed concern about increasing foot traffic near the dinghy storage area and the launch ramp. It was noted that no well-worn path currently exists in that corridor, indicating that a formal walkway is not needed. Shoreline and Green Space The Committee expressed a strong preference for preserving the natural character of the existing shoreline. The small sandy beach area was described as one of the last natural shoreline segments in the Village, and it was agreed that it should not be formally developed or restricted. Members noted the beach has been used informally for kayak launches, dog walking, and occasional sunbathing, and that enforcement of any use restrictions would be impractical. The area was also identified as a potential future access point for dredging operations on the north side of the main pier. Concerns were raised about invasive phragmites growth along the rocky shoreline to the north. It was suggested that the Village explore eradication efforts, referencing a prior community permit with the DNR for phragmites removal. Bristol indicated they would contact the relevant county invasive species coordinator to determine the current process. Existing Maple Tree and Concrete The Committee noted that any grading or fill work in the area should be carefully managed to avoid harming the existing maple tree near the dinghy storage area. A preference was stated for routing any walkway toward the road rather than around the tree. Additionally, it was recommended that any upcoming concrete work on the property be coordinated with known deferred repairs to the existing sidewalk system near the marina building, including sections that have been cracked by heavy equipment. Reinforcing the concrete and installing a protective trench for the shallow waterline beneath the courtyard was also raised as a concurrent improvement to consider. Marina Expansion B. Nelson raised the question of whether the Committee intended to make any recommendation regarding marina slip expansion in connection with this property. After discussion, the Committee affirmed it is not recommending marina expansion at this time, citing the significant cost involved — estimated at $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on scope — and the lack of a practical path forward in the near term. However, it was emphasized that the Committee is not recommending against future expansion, and that documenting current slip counts and any parking gains is important to preserve that option for future Committees. 3 Next Steps The Committee agreed to prepare refined versions of the two walkway concepts, parking, removal of the spur element, and to present them to the Physical Facilities Committee for their input with the following consensus from the Marinas and Moorings Committee: The consensus of the Marinas and Moorings Committee members present regarding parcels 121240033B and 121240031C was to consider expanding state highway parking along the parcels as a priority to the greatest extent possible, to extend the existing walking path that originates from the North, and the method of how to extend the walking path is to be determined and may need preliminary engineering to answer pending questions about grade and curb separation, and a path spur from the parking spaces to the marina building is not recommended. Held and B. Nelson indicated they would attend that meeting to provide context and answer questions. Bristol suggested that preliminary engineering — at roughly a 30-percent design level — may be appropriate to address grade, drainage, and DOT compliance questions before a final recommendation is brought to the Village Board. 6. Discussion regarding Pier and Waterfront projects: Bristol reported that Pier and Waterfront had been consulted regarding installation of the two new finger piers. The contractor expressed a preference for a fall rough installation during the scheduled haul-out, which would allow the Committee to evaluate placement, spacing, and structural connections before the spring season. Bristol suggested that rub rail repairs would be addressed as part of that installation. No redecking was contemplated at this time. The Committee discussed the need to extend the main pier by two feet (2’) in relation to installation of the new finger piers in order to be parallel with the main pier. Bristol and T. Nelson were authorized by the Committee to work directly with the contractor to determine the preferred configuration and associated cost, given the time-sensitive nature of a fall installation. Bristol noted that proposals for shoreline repair work, including sheet pile analysis discussed in prior meetings, had been set aside during the busy season and would be pursued again in the fall and winter to have options ready for a future decision. 7. Update regarding off-season work list and current projects/operations: Bristol noted that the off-season work list, included in the previous meeting minutes, would be maintained as a standing agenda item going forward, with amendments added as work is completed. Maintenance Staff did not have an opportunity to debrief prior to this meeting, but Bristol acknowledged that additional items had been completed since the last meeting. Regarding mooring buoy inventory, Bristol indicated that a mid-season inventory discrepancy — where the mooring area was short on buoys — had been miscommunicated. An updated inventory list had since been received, and orders for replacement and additional buoys would be placed promptly for readiness ahead of the next season. 8. Discussion regarding 2027 budget: Bristol advised that the full budget reconciliation is conducted at the end of September each year to ensure year-to-date numbers are current and consistent. Detailed budget figures would be distributed to the Committee in advance of the October meeting, which would serve as the primary budget discussion session. On the topic of fee increases, Bristol noted that the Board's direction from the prior year was to consider inflation-based annual adjustments to the fee schedule. He acknowledged there is an administrative burden to annual changes and suggested a possible approach of tracking annual inflation figures and applying adjustments periodically rather than every year. It was also noted that launch fees may be subject to additional DNR approval requirements once they exceed ten dollars, and that staff would clarify the current process if an increase is being considered. The Committee discussed whether current fee levels remain competitive with comparable facilities in Door County. Members expressed support for keeping fees at or near the regional market rate — particularly for the launch ramp — noting that being the lowest-priced launch in the area generates excess demand that 4 strains parking and staffing. Research into current regional rates was suggested as a precursor to any fee recommendation. The possibility of implementing digital or QR-code-based payment options at the launch ramp was briefly revisited, with Bristol noting the key challenge remains ensuring real-time payment verification for staff in the field. Further research was required. The Committee acknowledged several anticipated near-term capital expenditures, including the two new finger piers, a share of the utility trench work associated with the Anderson Dock reconstruction (estimated at approximately $15,000 for the marina's portion), and potential dredging. It was noted that the current reserve fund balance is estimated at approximately $340,000. B. Nelson cautioned that while the reserve appears healthy, a meaningful portion is already earmarked for known projects, and the Committee should be thoughtful before directing any of it toward Village-wide expenditures such as the recently acquired property. Held complimented Assistant Harbormaster Reynolds's strong performance throughout the season. Bristol noted that staffing challenges with a third seasonal employee resulted in fewer hours worked than planned — meaning salary expenditures are likely to come in below budget. Bristol indicated that off- season conversations would address staffing expectations for the coming year. 9. New business for the next meeting: The next meeting of the Marinas and Moorings Committee will take place on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, at 8:00 AM. 10. Adjournment: B. Nelson moved, Thorp seconded to adjourn at 9:45 AM, all ayes. Motion carried. Recorded by Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk VILLAGE OF EPHRAIM GREEN TIER AD-HOC COMMITTEE WORKING SESSION MINUTES THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2026 - 9:00 AM - 9996 WATER STREET Present: Lane Methner (online), Bruce Nelson, Cindy Nelson, Sophie Nelson, and Carly Mulliken - Chair. Absent: Jeff Lutsey and Zoe Sanders. Staff: Brent Bristol – Village Administrator, Justin MacDonald – Maintenance Manager/Fire Chief, and Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk. 1. Discussion on mulching at the Ephraim Wetlands: The Committee discussed the timing of the next mulching effort at the Ephraim Wetlands, weighing whether to proceed in the fall or defer to spring. C. Nelson noted the wetlands are currently in good shape, and referenced the general recommendation that mulching be done every couple of years to maintain adequate coverage. MacDonald confirmed that the current spring mulch supply has been fully distributed, though a supply of two-year-old mulch remains available. He indicated the work could be scheduled in September, and noted that early October would also be workable, but that mid-to-late October becomes difficult due to winterization and cleanup obligations. Any day except Friday was identified as generally available. The Committee recalled the logistics from the previous mulching effort, in which Village staff delivered mulch via skid loader to the trailhead, and volunteers transported it via wheelbarrow and raked it into place. Given that less mulch is anticipated this time, the effort was expected to move more quickly, though the depth of the trail into the wetlands remains a significant logistical challenge. S. Nelson agreed to reach out to her volunteer contacts early the following week to gauge availability and help narrow down a date. Additional local volunteers previously involved were also identified as potential participants. The Committee also noted with appreciation that the new signage at the wetlands is in place and well received. 2. Discussion and update on Water Bottle Filling Station: MacDonalsd provided an update confirming that all three water filling stations are now fully installed and operational. The previously noted concern regarding the quality of drain installation at the Visitors Information Center (VIC) station, was reported as resolved as of the prior day. MacDonald also noted a positive secondary benefit at the VIC: A rust removal system installed alongside the filling station appears to be functioning effectively, as evidenced by improved water quality in the facility's restrooms. B. Nelson shared usage data for each station. The Firehouse marina station, being the first installed, has registered 749 water bottles saved. The VIC station has registered 53, and the beach station—operational for approximately two weeks—has already recorded 106. The Committee viewed these numbers positively, particularly given the relatively short time the beach station has been active. Mulliken suggested that the locations of the water filling stations be added to the EBC’s published maps and brochures. Methner expressed support for incorporating this into future materials, including the visitor brochure. It was also noted that the exterior stations require frequent cleaning due to insect activity, which was acknowledged as an ongoing and unavoidable maintenance consideration. 3. Update on Request for Proposal (RFP) for Solar Panels at the WWTF: B. Nelson provided an update on the status of the solar panel Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). He reported that a task force, including himself, Bristol, Karen McMurtry (Chairperson of the Wastewater Committee), Ken Nelson, Brad Rasmusson, and Dan Oakely had previously convened to review examples of similar RFPs from other projects. B. Nelson has since completed a draft RFP tailored to the Village's specific needs and is prepared to bring it back to the task force for review, revision, and finalization. The draft RFP includes standard language clarifying that the Village of Ephraim may or may not award a contract following the bidding process. The intent is to solicit bids that will provide the Board with concrete information on sizing, cost, and implementation options. The Committee's hope is that responses will allow the Village to identify a preferred vendor and a financing approach in time to take advantage of available incentives, specifically the Focus on Energy program and the 30 % rebate available under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). 4. Discussion on an EV Charger: The Committee opened a broader discussion on the potential installation of an electric vehicle (EV) fast charger as part of the Village's annual Green Tier goals. It was emphasized that the focus is specifically on a fast charger—a distinction from the more common Level 2 chargers—as no fast charging station currently exists in Northern Door County. It was noted that Jeff Lutsey, who sits on the Door County Destination Development Corporation (DDC) board and is a Green Tier Committee member, has indicated that DDC s actively seeking a Northern Door community to host a fast charger and that grant funding may be made available to whichever community moves forward first. C. Nelson agreed to reach out to Lutsey directly to gather additional data on the grant opportunity and learn more about other communities that may be pursuing similar installations. The discussion turned to potential locations. Harborside Park was identified as a logistically and experientially favorable location, given its proximity to the waterfront, allowing visitors to enjoy the area while their vehicle charges. MacDonald raised a caution about the area near the Smith Building (Lift Station #2), noting that a potential reconstruction of that parking area tied to a future Wastewater Plant Upgrade could complicate placement there. Harborside Park itself was acknowledged as a candidate for a broader future redevelopment, though the Committee generally felt that an EV charger installation need not wait for that larger project, as parking infrastructure would remain in place regardless. MacDonald offered to contact the Village's electrical vendor to inquire about fast charger installation experience and estimated costs. On the question of cost recovery, the Committee discussed the expectation that users would pay for charging via credit card, consistent with how most public fast chargers operate. There was general agreement that the public does not expect free charging and that the Village should not absorb the ongoing electricity cost. It was agreed that the topic would be added to the agenda for the upcoming Q3 quarterly meeting involving the Village, the EBC, and EHF, in order to gather broader stakeholder input. Methner also agreed to explore whether other communities are discussing similar installations through the business council network. A phased approach was suggested, with an initial presentation to the Board for directional feedback on location and rough cost estimates before bringing a final concept forward. 5. Next meeting: The Committee scheduled its next meeting for October 1, 2026, at 9:00 AM The meeting adjourned at 9:26 AM. Recorded by Kim Roberts – Deputy Clerk
