The number line starts at 100 at the baseline and increases heading north. 2. East West baseline: located at the section line off the extreme east shore of the County. The number line starts at 100 at the baseline and increases heading west. 3. Exceptions to the above. The two Town of Egg Harbor developments listed below are exceptions to the baseline addressing systems described in ss. 1 and 2, above, due to long-standing existing internal addressing systems. a. Harbour Village, overall address 5840 State Highway 42. b. Heritage Lake, overall address 4286 Harbor School Road. B. Washington Island Baselines: located at the quarter-section lines to the extreme east and to the extreme south of the island. The number lines both start at 100 and increase going north and west.

Criteria for Address Number Assignment. A. New Development. 1. Establishment of Principal Use or Structure. Addresses are primarily assigned upon request from builders or property owners when a new principal use or structure is being established. Issuance of an address number may also be triggered by issuance of a Door County zoning permit. Address numbers are generally assigned when the principal use of a property or a driveway location has been determined. 2. Accessory Buildings and Uses. New numbers will generally not be assigned to new buildings accessory to the principal use (e.g., a new house will be assigned a number, but a detached garage or storage building will not). Accessory buildings may be assigned a separate address if accessed by a separate driveway or if housing a separate use. B. Driveways. 1. Address numbers are generally required when there is a driveway (existing or proposed) that serves or will serve a principal use or accessory use, as described above in IV.A. Address numbers shall not be assigned until a driveway location has been determined. 2. Driveways that do not serve a principal use may not require address numbers. Door County will maintain discretion in this matter. 3. Shared Driveways. Each development or lot on a shared driveway shall be assigned an address. A summary sign displaying the road name and each address or range of addresses shall be placed at the intersection of the driveway and the road. C. Condominiums and Apartments. 2

18 Attachment to Resolution Each building shall be assigned one address number, with each unit further identified by additional numbers or letters. 2. Townhouse and duplex units with individual driveways and entrances may be assigned unique address numbers. D. Manufactured Home Parks and Campgrounds. The entire park or campground shall be assigned an address number and the individual homes or campsites within the park or campground shall be further identified by additional numbers or letters. E. Meandering Roads. 1. Assignment of numbers shall be based on predominate road direction with the numbers per mile spacing maintained (see III.A and III.B). Number assignment may be adjusted to accommodate additional road length. 2. Where the road makes a 90 directional change for more than one-half mile, that road segment may be numbered consistent with the directional change. F. Looping Roads. 1. For roads that begin and end on a single road, resulting in two parallel sides, the loop road shall be split in half and appropriate side designations shall be given to the name of the road. For example, a loop road named Circle Rd. might be split into North Circle Rd. and South Circle Rd. Therefore, two developments on Circle Road might have the same address number but different road names. 2. The number range on the two sides shall be similar. An even and odd number shall abut at the change of direction Short loop roads may be addressed based on primary direction if number density allows. G. Cul-de-Sacs. An even and an odd number will abut at some point on the turning circle of a cul-de-sac. H. Reassignments. 1. Existing numbers significantly out of range may require reassignment if causing difficulty in assigning additional numbers within the range. 2. Numbers indicating the wrong side of the road or the wrong side of an intersecting road may be reassigned. 3. Numbers out of sequence, where the distance between numbers causes difficulty in recognizing the location, may be reassigned. 18 of 33 1 Exception at Bues Point Road in the Town of Baileys Harbor (by Door County Resource Planning Committee Resolution #27-03). For Bues Point Road only, the address numbers shall be assigned such that all even numbers shall be placed on the outside of said loop road and all odd numbers shall be placed on the inside of said loop road. 3

23 23 of 33 Attachment to Resolution # Addendum A DOOR COUNTY STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A DESIGNATION FOR WORKING CAPITAL Policy Basis/Rationale The Door County Board of Supervisors is charged with protecting the public interest. In this protective role, it is in the best interest of the Supervisors to have proper methods in place to safeguard the assets of Door County. Supervisors must use sound business logic in stabilizing the tax levy. The following items are considered critical for improving the financial stability of Door County: A. Preventing the arbitrary application of unreserved, unassigned funds to offset the tax levies of various funds, the practice of which endangers the financial health of the county. B. Maintaining the highest possible bond rating to reduce the cost of long-term borrowing to the taxpayers. C. Providing sufficient cash flow for the operations of the County under all normal conditions and under most unusual conditions without having to go to the market for short-term borrowing. D. The ability to earn interest on its funds in order to have direct reduction of property taxes. To address these critical items, this policy shall determine an appropriate level of unreserved fund balances and retained earnings and shall prescribe maintenance of the levels in accordance with the changing operations of the County. Procedure Concepts used in the formula: Three (3) categories of funds should be included in the formula: 1. The general operating fund of the County the General Fund. 2. Any fund requiring a tax levy with which to operate (i.e. Special Revenue, Debt Service, Capital Projects, Enterprise, and Internal Service). 3. Any fund that needs the pooled cash concept to operate. The unassigned fund balance is the only portion that shall be used in the calculation. The total expenditure budget from the required funds shall be used to calculate the working capital level required. An adopted base of fifteen point zero percent (15.0%) of the total expenditure budgets of the required funds shall be set. (The adopted base is the point which the County would never want to let the fund balance reserved for working capital go below.) The total expenditure budget from these funds shall include all operating expenditures, debt service and outlay. The upper limit of eighteen point zero (18.0%) of total expenditure budgets of the required funds shall be set. (The adopted upper limit is the point which the County would not want the fund balance reserved for working capital to go above. This would also be the point where any amount in excess of the upper limit would be a consideration for application to the tax levy.) The formula shall have the flexibility to change as the operation for Door County changes. The Fund Balance Designated for Working Capital for all funds shall be recorded in the General Fund. The formula is as follows: 1. Determine amount of total budget expenditures (including outlay and debt service) for upcoming budget year including General Fund, levied Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Fund, levied Capital Projects Funds, levied Enterprise Funds, and levied Internal Service Funds. 2. Multiply by adopted base percentage specified in policy. 3. The product is the required working capital level.

24 DOOR COUNTY STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF A DESIGNATION FOR WORKING CAPITAL 4. List the prior year s audited unreserved, unassigned fund balance. 5. Enter the current year s estimated actual addition to or use of fund balance. This is the net of current year revenues and expenditures projected to year-end level. 6. Enter the amount of budgeted use of, or addition to, fund balance for the upcoming year. 7. Add the amounts in 4, 5 and 6 to project current year-end unreserved, unassigned fund balance. 8. Enter amounts from Enter amounts from Subtract 9 from Net the difference. If positive, this is the amount available to offset future tax levies. If negative, this is the amount that should be funded during the present budget process. 12. Upper limit calculation, step 1 times upper limit of 18%. 24 of 33 2

27 ADDENDUM A Attachment to Resolution of 33 ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL 2.5 EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION E. On-Call Policy General Applicability This policy is applicable only to FLSA non-exempt positions. This policy does not apply to: any protective occupation participant", e.g., law enforcement or EMT-Paramedic (See: 40.02(48), Wis. Stats.); or Highway Department employees during winter operations (e.g., snow and ice control/ removal). Departments / Positions / Employees Subject to On-Call The Department Head will determine, based on operational needs and budget, whether or not, and to what extent, to make use of on-call time. The Department Head (or her/his designee) will decide specifically which position(s), and which employee(s) in each position, will be subject to being on-call. These decisions should be reasonably and fairly made based on operational needs, employee qualifications, and employee availability. On-call duty is not voluntary, but rather it is a job requirement. An employee may, with their supervisor s prior written consent, trade on-call responsibilities. Employees who are on paid leave status, on a leave of absence, or not otherwise able or available for work are not eligible to be on-call unless prior written approval is obtained from the Human Resources Director. On-Call Nuts & Bolts On-call status begins after the completion of the employee s workday and continues until resuming work the following workday, unless a defined length of time is determined prior to the time on-call status commences. While on-call an employee: Is not required to remain on Door County s premises. Is free to engage in personal activities. Must be reachable (i.e., carry a cell phone or a pager or leave a message where s/he can be reached) at all times. Must verify the working status of the cell phone or pager, and maintain the cell phone or pager in operational mode at all times. Must respond to a call or page or message within fifteen (15) minutes. If required to do so, report to work within one hour of determination or notification. 1

28 ADDENDUM A Attachment to Resolution Must arrive at work in a condition fit for duty. Thus, employees should abstain from alcohol and other (non-prescribed) drugs while on-call. The intent here is that an employee be able to use on-call time effectively for personal purposes. Unless directed otherwise by a supervisor, the employee, in the reasonable exercise of their judgment, is to decide whether the matter can be handled by telephone or computer or whether they must actually report in to work. Employees will be considered engaged by Door County (i.e., actually working versus being on-call): When they answer the call, or make a call in response to a call or page or message, until the work is completed. If they must actually report to work, from the time they leave home until the work is completed and they return home. A maximum of two (2) hours travel time will be paid. The foregoing will be considered worked time and must be tracked and recorded as such on the time record by the employee. On-Call Compensation On-call compensation is not pay for hours worked. Rather, it is pay for the inconvenience of being on call An employee s on-call compensation will be one dollar and twenty five cents ($1.25) for each whole hour that the employee is on-call. The regular rate of pay for on-call employees must be based upon a workweek. Payment for on-call time must be attributed to the workweek in which the on-call hours occurred. 28 of 33 2

29 ADDENDUM A Attachment to Resolution of 33 ADMINISTRATIVE MANUAL 2.5 EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION D.

No more than Only two employees shall be on call (for crises) per day - per Department. Anti-Stacking Stacking of special pay is prohibited.

WHEREAS, Target, Lowes, Meijer, Menards and other big box chains are using what is known as the Dark Store Theory to argue that the assessed value of a new store in a thriving location should be based on comparing their buildings to sales of vacant stores in abandoned locations for a different market segment; and WHEREAS, The Indiana Legislature has on two occasions in the last two years overwhelmingly passed legislation prohibiting assessors from valuing new big box stores the same as nearby abandoned stores from a different market segment; and WHEREAS, The Michigan State House overwhelmingly passed similar legislation in May of NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That Door County does hereby urge the Governor and State Legislature to protect homeowners and main street businesses from having even more of the property tax burden shifted to them by passing legislation clarifying that: Leases are appropriately factored into the valuation of leased properties; and When using the comparable sale method of valuation, assessors shall consider as comparable only those sales within the same market segment exhibiting a similar highest and best use rather than similarly sized but vacant properties in abandoned locations.
