The Door County Board approved a package of resolutions and an ordinance on May 27, 2025.
Key approvals and outcomes: - Resolution 2025‑46: Approved an amendment to the Town of Union zoning map (motion by Supervisor Zettle; voice vote). - Resolution 2025‑47: Accepted a $5,548 donation from the Door County Community Foundation to support Door to Door/Door Connect transportation services (presented by Supervisor Thais; voice vote). - Resolution 2025‑48: Accepted a Wisconsin DNR grant of $8,403 for European frog‑bit control; staff noted a department match (presented by Supervisor Thais; voice vote). - Resolution 2025‑49: Ratified county counsel’s authority to add additional defendants in opioid litigation where appropriate, clarifying authority to pursue pharmacy benefit managers if tied to opioid‑related harms (presented by county counsel Sean; voice vote). - Resolution 2025‑50: Approved an increase in ambulance user fees (see separate article for detail). - Resolution 2025‑51: Confirmed appointments to county boards and subunits (packet lists names and terms; voice vote). - Resolution 2025‑52: Accepted a DMA PSAP grant awarded to the Door County Communications Center (presented by Supervisor Gunlickson; voice vote). - Ordinance 25‑01: Amended Door County Code Chapter 3.12 to implement statutory redemption rights for owner‑occupied single‑family residences foreclosed by the county; County Counsel explained the ordinance implements recent state statutory changes and a model from the Wisconsin Counties Association. The ordinance passed on a recorded vote of 21 yes, 0 no.
Votes and procedural notes: Most resolutions were adopted by voice vote; explicit recorded tallies were provided for Ordinance 25‑01 (21–0) and for a later motion to place a Pride proclamation on the June agenda (which failed 8–13). Where the transcript did not include roll‑call tallies for individual resolutions, the minutes record passage by general assent.
What’s next: Departments will implement approved grants and fee changes per packet instructions; county counsel will proceed under the ratified authority for opioid‑related litigation; the treasurer and administration will operationalize the ordinance's redemption procedures and timelines as required by state statute.
