31 Motion carried – All ayes.
32
33 Agenda Item No. 5. Comments, correspondence, and concerns from the public
34 Multiple items of correspondence were received for this meeting, including:
35 • The January 2025 Door County Transportation Department Newsletter
36 • Emails from Diane Barounis, Keith Wiebe and Rodney Hedeen praising those board members
37 who voted against continuing discussions on a new administration building in Sister Bay. Wiebe
38 also suggested that the former Logerquist property be used instead for the construction of a
39 new fire station.
40 • A letter from the Sister Bay Historical Society thanking the Village Board for their financial
41 support in the amount of $15,000.
42 • The 3rd quarter Door County Sheriff’s Office Incident Report for Sister Bay
43
44 President Bell asked if anyone wished to offer any additional comments not related to Agenda Item No.

47
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1 Agenda Item No. 7. Discussion/Action Items
2 g) Reconsider Contract; Administration Building; Construction Drawings; McMahon
3 Bell explained that because this item, which was addressed and defeated at the prior board meeting, was
4 requested by two trustees for discussion, it was put on the agenda for this meeting. Bhirdo presented the
5 following additional information for consideration by the board:
6 • the impact of potential tariffs
7 • the Federal Reserve rate cuts, which may not occur until the end of the year
8 • the inflation rate, which reached a seven-month high as of January, 2025
9 • core inflation has hit a 10-month high by increasing one-half point
10 • if construction costs on a $3 million project increase by 3%, the additional cost to the village will
11 be $90,000; a 4% increase will cost $120,000; a 5% increase will cost $150,000 and a 6% increase
12 will cost $180,000
13 • this is the time of year in which contractors are bidding on projects and filling their schedules, the
14 longer the village delays, the harder it will be to get on a schedule or receive competing bids for
15 the project
16 • postponing the project will cause the village to pay additional fees for winter condition
17 contingencies or change orders
18
19 Bhirdo then shared a spreadsheet outlining the projected debt of the village, as seen below:

Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved

2 Bhirdo explained the numbers reflected above are rounded for ease in calculating, but the actual debt
3 levy for payment in 2026/2027 is $734,000, less than the $850,000 levied in 2024/2025. She feels that
4 the board has not been fiscally irresponsible in their planning to address needed facilities due to their
5 purchase of the waterfront properties, as has been the argument presented by the public. Moving
6 forward with both the Mill Road Triangle and Administration Building projects now will not affect the debt
7 levy.
8
9 Bell noted that he spoke with Fire Chief Hecht and learned that there has been no formal conversation
10 with the fire department about what they might need at the former Logerquist property, knowing that
11 there is the potential to put a station there at some point. He does not believe it is the right time to build
12 an administration building, and feels the issue is more about gaining public trust than talking costs and
13 interest rates. He is of the opinion that they should plan for what they really need at the former Logerquist
14 property and sell the remaining property.
15
16 Bell then opened the meeting to public input and comments were shared by the following:
17
18 Richard Burress – 2340 Maple Dr - began by stating that he believes the village needs an administration
19 building, but not on the former Logerquist property. He agreed with Bell that there is an air of suspicion
20 in the village, but not necessarily regarding taxes. Burress noted that there are 14 different sites in the
21 village to consider for the location of the administration building and suggested that a committee be
22 formed to make a recommendation to the board with a proposed location. He believes the former
23 Logerquist property should be sold.
24
25 Paula Anschutz – 1453 Appleport Rd - spoke in agreement with Burress. She felt that without an overall
26 plan for the former Logerquist property, it is not the right place for an administration building.
27
28 Mike Laszkiewicz – 10873 N Bay Shore Dr – also spoke in agreement with Burress and stated the need to
29 be more creative in finding efficient ways to create admin space. Laszkiewicz noted that there have been
3
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1 two substantial increases in property taxes recently and operating expenses are up, particularly at the
2 wastewater treatment facility. While the wastewater plant is not funded by tax payments, it is the same
3 group of taxpayers facing those costs. He believes it was smart of the board to pull back on this project
4 until they weigh the impacts of the 2025 taxes.
5
6 Janal Suppanz – Village Administrative Assistant - read a prepared statement echoing her comments from
7 a prior board meeting in which she outlined the numerous deficiencies of the existing administration
8 building and expressed her disappointment that the building is again being delayed, as has been the case
9 time and time again during her employment in Sister Bay.
10
11 Rodney Hedeen – Tavernier, FL – shared that he understands the need for a new building, but the reality
12 is that there is a lot of debt. The expenses in Sister Bay are way beyond those of other villages and the
13 Town of Liberty Grove, adding that Sister Bay is now 299% of the mill rate of Liberty Grove.
14
15 Mickie Mostardi – 10867 N Bay Shore Dr – also agreed that a new administration building is needed.
16 However, the past purchase of the waterfront properties over their real value has created this large debt
17 today. In addition, the purchase of the former Logerquist property came out of nowhere and the public
18 was not informed. She recalled a conversation with Fire Chief Hecht in which he spoke of the need for a
19 new fire department, but not in the immediate future. She went on to state that she witnessed several
20 instances in which plans had been created and money spent on village projects that never were realized.
21 She voiced the need for the village to plan and prioritize the use of the existing facilities that won’t incur
22 extraordinarily high debt.
23
24 Heidi Teich – Village Clerk – concurred with Suppanz’s statement and noted that it appears there is no
25 one here tonight to convince that a building is needed. However, she was disappointed that after over a
26 year of planning, the project stops here. This is more disheartening given the fact that little to no
27 maintenance has been done on the existing building in anticipation of a new facility being built.
28
29 Brigid White – 10774 N Bay Shore Dr – agreed with the suggestion by other village residents that time be
30 taken to form a committee and explore other options for the location of an administrations building. If,
31 after a few months, the committee finds no viable option then they could vote to move forward with the
32 Stantec plan.
33
34 Trustee Bhirdo voiced her continuing support of the village’s past purchase of the waterfront property to
35 benefit the public with the full knowledge that they would suffer the financial consequences of that action.
36 Baird was hired in 2017 to develop a long-term financial plan for the village, and over the past eight years
37 they have worked diligently to pay down their debt to increase their borrowing capacity from $5 million
38 at the time of the waterfront purchase, to $30 million today. The village is in a position where it can
39 borrow for both the Mill Road Triangle project and the administration building, and Bhirdo is disheartened
40 that there are many who feel the village debt is too high to accomplish these long-planned for projects.
41
42 Trustee Howson feels that one of the reasons they are debating this issue is that there are differing
43 opinions on how much debt the village should carry. She agrees with White that they fast-track a study
44 on existing facilities for the administration building.
45
46 Trustee Werner concurred with the idea of taking more time to consider the location of the administration
47 building as she believed that was the original intent of the use of the former Wiltse property. She also
4
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1 asked the board to consider the expense of a new fire truck and emergency services radios at the County
2 level if grant funding falls through.
3
4 Trustee Champeau stated that she asked for this reconsideration tonight because it will cost the village
5 more money to delay the project, and the taxpayers will be further burdened in the future.
6
7 Trustee Orozco shared that she has been on the Parks, Property & Streets Committee that has been
8 working on the administration building for the past couple of years, and that it is okay to stop and rethink
9 their priorities.
10
11 Trustee Harff stated the administration building should be a priority, and it does not benefit them to
12 reconstruct other spaces which could incur greater costs. It would serve staff best to have one space that
13 allows them to work efficiently in one location, such as with elections administration.
14
15 Bell called for a motion to reconsider, and hearing none, closed the conversation on the administration
16 building.
17
18 Agenda Item No. 6. Ordinances & Resolutions
19 a) Ord. 2025-001; Ch. 58; Parking Amendments
20 A recommendation was forwarded by the Parks, Property & Streets Committee, with input from the
21 Marina Committee, to eliminate the long-term boat trailer storage area off Autumn Court and redesignate
22 all marina parking to the lots along Scandia Road. Other miscellaneous amendments were made to
23 Chapter 58 of the Municipal Code, as noted in the draft presented in the meeting packet.
24
25 A motion was made by Orozco, seconded by Howson to approve Ordinance 2025-001 which amends
26 Sections 58.0601 and 58.0603 of the Village of Sister Bay Municipal Code as presented. Motion carried –
27 all ayes.
28
29 b) Introduce Ord. 2025-002; Ch. 50; Health and Sanitation; Garbage Amendments
30 Schmelzer explained that there have been questions on the village’s short-term rental (STR) ordinance
31 pertaining to the requirement for door-to-door garbage removal. STR owners who only rent seasonally
32 have asked to only pay seasonally for garbage service. This would require the contractor to continually
33 update their service logs and scheduled routes when activating and deactivating various STR properties
34 throughout the year. This would also leave the village unable to verify that the garbage service was active
35 during the time any property rentals occur. Schmelzer has consulted with representatives of Going
36 Garbage, and they would favor an annual contract to ease the burden on their drivers.
37
38 Werner spoke in favor of allowing seasonal service for STR owners, as she is able to do in the Village of
39 Ephraim. She also felt the language of the proposed ordinance is unclear in that the service is a year-
40 round requirement.
41
42 Bhirdo clarified that the village is still paying the cost of the garbage service for all residents, whether they
43 utilize it weekly or not. Schmelzer added that the STR owners pay an additional fee of approximately
44 $35/month to have the contractor walk up to the residence and collect the trash from the dwelling rather
45 than the curb. This also eliminates the concern of cans being brought to the curb and left for days beyond
46 the scheduled pick-up day, which results in many complaints calls to the village office.
47
5
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1 Howson asked if this concern was only for the single-family homes in the village being operated as short-
2 term rentals. Schmelzer replied affirmatively and added that she is still working with the contractor to
3 ensure that those in multi-family dwellings have no issues.
4
5 A motion was made by Bhirdo, seconded by Harff to advance Ordinance 2025-002 to next month’s board
6 meeting for adoption. Motion carried 4-2, with Howson and Werner opposed. Champeau momentarily
7 lost connection and was not present for the vote.
8
9 c) Introduce Ord. 2025-005; Ch. 62; Utility Code; Misc. Amendments
10 A recommendation was forwarded from the Sewer and Water Utility Committee to update several
11 sections throughout Chapter 62 of the municipal code as presented in the draft provided. Barnes noted
12 that the definitions have been updated, references to water meters have been added, as well as language
13 pertaining to enforcement of hauler procedures.
14
15 A motion was made by Bell, seconded by Orozco to advance Ordinance 2025-005 to next month’s agenda
16 for adoption. Motion carried – all ayes.
17
18 Agenda Item No. 7. Discussion/Action Items
19 a) Development Agreement Amendment; Eagle Mechanical; State Highway 57
20 The village board previously approved a development agreement with Eagle Mechanical for a contractor
21 and sales facility on State Highway 57. After the agreement was executed, additional changes were
22 proposed to the siding and trim of the building, requiring an amendment to the original development
23 agreement. A proposed amendment was included in the meeting packet.
24
25 A motion was made by Bhirdo, seconded by Howson to approve an amendment to the Development
26 Agreement between the Village of Sister Bay and Eagle Mechanical for the contractor and sales facility to
27 be constructed on Sister Bay Parcel 181-00-08312831H as presented. Motion carried – all ayes.
28
29 b) Intergovernmental Agreement; Membership; Fire Board
30 The Sister Bay Liberty Grove Fire Board has recommended a change in the membership of the commission
31 to allow for the appointment of citizen members rather than village trustees. Bell noted that he would
32 not personally recommend appointing a non-trustee, but the option would be available should the board
33 choose to utilize it in the future. If the agreement included in the packet is approved, the board will need
34 to adopt a related change to Chapter 23 of the municipal code which addresses the Fire Department and
35 Fire Board. The Town of Liberty Grove has already approved this request of the Fire Board.
36
37 A motion was made by Howson, seconded by Werner to approve the intergovernmental agreement
38 between the Village of Sister Bay and Town of Liberty Grove to allow the appointment of non-trustees to
39 the Sister Bay Liberty Grove Fire Board as requested by the Fire Board as presented. A subsequent
40 ordinance to update Chapter 23 of the Sister Bay Municipal Code reflecting this change will be presented
41 at next month’s meeting for adoption. Motion carried – all ayes.
42
43 c) Contract; Concession Stand Addition Design Services; McMahon
44 Schmelzer shared that there was an old agreement with the Sister Bay Bays baseball team that should
45 water and sewer ever be available near the ball fields, an addition to the concession stand to add
46 restrooms would be discussed. A sewer and water project is now planned through the sports complex. A
47 grant was applied for, and awarded, in the amount of $75,000 to help offset costs associated with the
48 construction of restrooms at the ball field.
6
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1
2 A motion was made by Werner, seconded by Harff to approve a contract with McMahon Associates, Inc.
3 for various design services for the construction of a restroom addition to the baseball field concession stand
4 at the Sports Complex as presented. Motion carried – all ayes.
5
6 d) Contract; WWTP Facilities Study; McMahon
7 The Utility Committee received multiple responses to a Request for Proposals for facility operations and
8 enhancements at the wastewater treatment plant. Of the responses received, the committee has
9 recommended a contract with McMahon Associates, Inc. to provide the services described in the staff
10 report included in the meeting packet.
11
12 Howson asked Barnes about the possibility of a shared facility with neighboring municipalities, particularly
13 for sludge processing. Barnes responded that she has already met with Fish Creek, Egg Harbor and
14 Ephraim on that issue and has plans to meet next with the City of Sturgeon Bay.
15
16 Bell asked if the footprint of the current plant would change as a result of this study. Barnes explained
17 that the study requested 3 options for a sludge processing plant, and the committee will carefully review
18 the options proposed to find what works best here.
19
20 Howson inquired on the source of population data when pursuing these kinds of project and Chad Olsen
21 from McMahon responded that they do utilize data from the Department of Administration when doing
22 population projections.
23
24 A motion was made by Bhirdo, seconded by Champeau to approve a contract with McMahon Associates,
25 Inc. to complete a facilities study of the existing wastewater treatment plant and develop a capital
26 improvement plan as presented. Motion carried – all ayes.
27
28 e) TID Information Requested by Board
29 Information on the Tax Incremental District #1 was included in the meeting packet, specifically the
30 deadlines for possible extension of the TID timeline and sample resolution. Schmelzer explained that
31 should the board wish to pursue an extension, a meeting of the TID Joint Review Board would need to be
32 held. If an extension is approved, it would be for 3 years with a new termination date of 8/21/2031.
33
34 Howson shared that she looked for TID maps on the village’s website and was unable to locate them.
35 Schmelzer described the boundaries of TID #1 and provided some pros and cons of having these districts,
36 such as the ability of the village to capture the tax increment of that district to help fund infrastructure.
37 Currently, the village does not offer TID incentives to developers as other municipalities might. Bhirdo
38 also noted that when the TID does close, the village will no longer have that worksheet (which delineates
39 the money collected, and for use, in the TID) available for budgeting.
40
41 A brief discussion took place on when to consider an extension if the village wished to do so. The final
42 2024 audit will be completed by June 2025, and the recommendation by Baird was to request an extension
43 in late 2025 or early 2026. Bhirdo suggested the request come in 2025 if possible.
44
45 f) Monthly Financial Report and Appropriations
46 The monthly financial statements were prepared and included in the meeting packet for the members to
47 review. No questions were asked.
48
7
Minutes of the February 18, 2025 Meeting of the Village Board of Trustees - approved
1 A motion was made by Bell, seconded by Orozco to pay the monthly bills in the amount of $2,739,992.18
2 as presented. Motion carried – all ayes.
3
4 h) Draft Letter; 2024 Tax Bills
5 Trustee Howson prepared a draft letter regarding the 2024 tax bills for review at the Finance Committee.
6 President Bell requested the letter be discussed at the board level, and it was therefore included in the
7 meeting packet. Howson explained that the Finance Committee received a draft press release from
8 Schmelzer to comment on, and she felt that a letter would reach the public better than a press release in
9 the paper.
10
11 After discussing the best way to disseminate this information to the public. It was ultimately decided that
12 the letter be added to the village website and placed in the Peninsula Pulse as an advertisement. Werner
13 requested that her contact information not appear in the ad as she is leaving office in April, and it was
14 decided that all contacts should be made to the administration office.
15
16 It was the consensus of the board that the wording of the letter in paragraph five be clarified to read “We
17 are committed to improving communication and will continue to keep you updated on how these funds
18 are being utilized to benefit the community.”
19
20 Howson indicated that she would revise the draft and see it gets forwarded to the Finance Committee
21 members for a final review.
