County Board - Regular Meeting

Evening. I'm going to be calling the executive committee along with public works committee to to order um for the joint meeting. Um I'll call the uh executive committee to order and if the clerk could call the role. Um, Supervisor may be joining us virtually and Supervisor Shakur, I believe, would be on his way. Everyone else is here for both committees.

Supervisor Hopkins, you want to call the public works committee to order? I already stated that.

Okay, good. All right, we're here and tonight to con for item number one, consideration of a resolution for by the by the joint resolution of the executive committee and the public works and parks and facilities committee authorizing Rine County to renew a lease agreement with JPM Hospitalities LLC for the operation and management of the bar and restaurant at Reef Point Parina. Action requested first reading at November 11th, 2025 county board meeting. Did you want to start uh corp council or

Sure. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll I'll just make the introduction. So again, this is a resolution seeking to authorize what would effectively be the extension of a lease agreement with the current uh operator of the restaurant at Wheat Reef Point Marina uh under the name of JPM Hospitality Group. Um with us is Carrie who is the manager for the marina employed by F3 Marina. Carrie, thank you.

Thank you. Thank you chairman, supervisors. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. On behalf of Eth Marina, I'm recommending that we're seeing county extend the lease for Reef Point Brew House for an additional three years. This recommendation is grounded in both operational necessity for Reef Point Marina and in the broader economic and social value the brew house provides to the entire Reine community. Reoint Brew House is not simply a restaurant tenant within the marina footprint. They are a foundational anchor of this harbor. Their presence significantly enhances the overall marine experience, supports boater satisfaction, and contributes directly to the attractiveness of Ray Point Marina as a regional destination. Their partnership with us has been consistently strong, collaborative, and responsive to both marina operation and customer needs. Importantly, Brief Point Brew House is also a major year-round employer county, specifically the downtown area as well. They currently employ over 75 individuals, most in full-time or near full-time positions, and they play a critical role in providing firsttime jobs to local youth who are seeking initial work experience in a supportive environment. This makes them not only a valued business partner, but a meaningful contributor to workforce development within our community. From a performance standpoint, they continue to provide top tier service to both the boating community and the general public. The reputation for consistent highquality hospitality is a key reason why voters choose Ray Point Marina over competing ports along Lake Michigan. To support ongoing stability and to keep their lease structure aligned with comparable waterfront properties, F3 Marina recommends modest annual rental adjustments of 3%. This positions rent at Fair Market Valley with close by uh establishments such as theirs. In summary, extending the brew houses lease

is in the best interest of the marina, the county's financial outlook, and the community members who rely on this establishment for employment, tourism, and year-round service. We strongly encourage the county board to approve the three-year extension as proposed. Thank you. Thank you. How long has the Brew House been there? 2013. 2012, excuse me. 2012, I think the year before I first started. Long time. Any other questions? Yep. May I supervisor Horth?

Thank you. Um I had I think three questions. First one is have we had any history at all of any issues or violations regarding their operation at this location? Not that I'm aware of. Not that you're aware of. Okay. Thank you. Second, how much was actually paid last year as a part of this arrangement? 110,000. So last year was 110,000, correct? So we're going up to 113,000 which is a little less than 3%. Exactly. Okay. Next question. I noticed in the language in the agreement that because of COVID, there was a $10,000 reduction that was made back in obviously 2020 or 21, whatever.

Was that ever reclaimed as a part of going forward? because obviously if it wasn't then I'd be wondering why we didn't go back and try to incorporate that into the agreement. That's understandable. It's a justifiable question. We did not recoup that. I know that they did suffer because of not only we're seeing requirements but obviously the broader scope of the co virus in general that restaurants did suffer greatly and we wanted to ensure that they still sustained their operation moving forward. So we did not recoup that. Okay. Thank you. Thank you supervisor Miller.

Thank you Mr. Chairman. Um, I have only heard good things about the restaurant, but I guess I this question for Corp Council. Is there a reason why we don't name the restaurant that is Reef Point Brew House in uh in our resolution? That can certainly be added. The registered owner, the registered entity that runs the the restaurant is JPM. So, that's the contracting party. But I have no objection if the board so desires to make a a note that of the name of the restaurant.

So I guess I would ask all of the members here what they think if we just like in the title and in the body said restaurant at Reef Point Marina. Would we say named Reef Point Brew House or I don't know what the the proper wording would be, but I think for transparency that would be good. Yeah, I I think you could um with JP LLC for the operation and management of the Reef Point Brew House, the whatever the actual name is uh at Reef Point Marina. You So, you could substitute out a bar and restaurant uh with the name of the actual restaurant. I I guess I would ask unanimous consent that that be done. And

Carrie, is that a brief point? Brew House. Is that the full title? It is. Okay. Are there are there any objections to that? Okay. Seeing no objections, we'll go on with questions. Supervisor Millie, do you have any Do you still have the floor? No, I just um Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Uh my assumption is that during the full county board meeting the chair of the finance committee will ask for approval of the finance or the fiscal note because we haven't taken that out.

I believe there's opportunity where the FHR committee is meeting on December the 3. So I believe the plan was that that would be an agenda item at that meeting. Thank you. Chairman, Chairman, this is Supervisor Caprian. Go ahead, Supervisor Capillian. Thank you. Has the Reef Point raised any concerns about the construction impact thus far?

They have raised concerns. There is language in the agreement that states if improvements are made on the land side such as the building being impacted and there obviously operation would then be impacted as well that there would be a consideration of rent reduction at that time. But since that is not in the scope of the $32 million revitalization which truly focuses on the wateride renovation that's not clear at this point but it is mentioned. Thank you. I did see that in there and if I read correctly there was language requiring board authorization for any rent abatement. Is that correct? Absolutely you are correct.

Okay. So, um I'm just curious though, is there anything to establish expectations uh for us like how we would evaluate these requests if they if they were to come to the county board, for example? Like would we would they have to demonstrate like a loss of customer or revenue or actual closure days or hours? Uh

I would agree they would definitely um if their operation was affected due to landside renovations that means their property would truly be shut down. So they could not actually operate or open for any type of business and that would be documented appropriately and planned with them effectively to ensure that as least business is affected as possible.

Okay. So, I think what I just heard you say is is if they totally had to shut down because in the language I didn't know if there was some flexibility uh in there, you know, would they ask for uh some type of rent abatement due to losing half the customers as expected or something along those lines. It just seemed a little vague in that particular part. So that's why I I ask I understand it's truly if they have to shut down and unable to operate. Okay. And is there any cap on that uh rent abatement?

I don't think that's been decided at this time because it's truly unknown at this point in time. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, could I add on to that because that's a provision that I had I had added.

Go ahead. uh supervisor that the the language that you see in the the third amendment was purposefully kept vague. Uh it was a request that was made by JPM. Um and really what we wanted to to document there is that the parties would engage in goodfaith discussions about a potential uh baitment or reduction in the event of temporary closure. We purposefully did not get into those details because we didn't want to give any sort of false expectation that it would be granted uh but rather that it would be considered and of course in order for it to be considered and acted upon would require board authorization. So we we wanted to broach the topic that it's something that could potentially be discussed um but without uh the definition of any specific solution given the uncertainty involved with that. And uh to Carrie's point, the expectation there wouldn't be uh the need for a temporary closure at all.

Thank you for that. And I do understand the need for flexibility. Um is and then just one last final question is uh with the business interruption did so there is there insurance first that they would have to seek or no? There are insurance requirements that are part of the lease. Okay. Thank you, Superi Supervisor Co.

Um, I guess bringing up to Supervisor Miller's point, we do have a no sublet agreement. So, is JPM Holdings actually are they running the Brew House Marina uh or the Brew House Marina Brew whatever that the restaurant name is that a separate entity than the JPM Holdings? It is not. They're doing business as Ray Point Marina. JPM is the But if that's a holding company, wouldn't they'd still be subleting to their other company though, wouldn't they? Then I guess it's a question for Michael. I'm unaware.

To my knowledge, supervisor, JPM is the registered owner um and operating entity that's doing business under the name of JP or of Reef Point Brew House. So, it's the it's the restaurant group and the name of the restaurant is Reef Point Brew House. Okay, not a separate entity, per se. H,

thank you. Um, well, I had I have one and a half questions to that question or that comment. Who owns the name Reef Point Brew House? Because if if JPM goes away and we don't have some level of rights to that name, the name goes away and frankly there's your marketing opportunity that could be lost or gained depending on how you look at it. But that it's a great point and and I'll try and get the answer before second reading. I'll thank you.

Thank you. Um now the other part of my question is and maybe this is for Supervisor TRA. I took a look in the budget book and I believe I looked on page 230 and it looked to me like I saw $100,000 in a line item for restaurant income. Is that what this is? I'm trying to type I do not know. I'd have to look at that. Okay. Thank you. I'll get back to you if you could just take a look. What line item was that? And what page? It's it's actually on page 230. Thank you. And it's under restaurant income. Okay. And I'm trying to tie things back as we're being presented with them to determine is the money in the budget or not. Or or I should say how is it being shown in the budget.

Sure. Thank you. You're welcome.

I may be able to address that in part and perhaps Carrie can help out as well, supervisor. So in formulating the budget for the brew house, which is part of an enterprise fund, and so any money that comes into uh any of the marina operations goes right back into the the marina. And so in preparing the the financials and the the budget for 2026, my expectation is that F3 was budgeting conservatively. Given the uncertainty that they knew that the lease was ending at the end of the year, there was a reasonable expectation that it would be in line with what the prior year was, hopefully a little bit higher. And so that's my expectation is that they were budgeting conservatively with the lower number given that uncertainty in the event somebody else needed to come in in the event that we weren't able to successfully negotiate an extension with them.

By the way, I am perfectly fine with the strategy. I just was trying to confirm is that what this number or is this number someplace else in the budget? Any further questions? Supervisor Rossi. Thank you, Chairman. I'm just wondering what is the square footage of the bar and restaurant and serving or the prep areas. So, total square footage. I don't know that offh hand. I know their banquet room is about 2500 square ft. Their main dining area is probably about close to double that and they're they don't have much storage at all. They have a small prep kitchen then on the first floor. I can get back to you on that exact square footage. Eight, but 8 to 9,000 sounds realistic.

Maybe a little less than that.

A little less than that. All right. Um, just want to say it's an aggressive rate for that uh that square footage in that location. You know, you typically like in the surrounding area see 14 bucks a square foot, something like that. You'd expect to see 16 18. So, this is a pretty good deal. I do want to add in we did a market study comparable to properties in a similar marina environment that has a I don't want to say standing audience and within walkability of boers per se and it is close to the market right now. I know we were very aggressive in the past years to bring them from where they were at when they first started their agreement to now where they're at which is close to market rate but yes they are right in line with other properties very similar to them but that's few and far in between. And and by way of background, just for the the newer supervisors, because this gets to that temporary suspension during COVID, um the the aggressive increase that Carrie's referring to, it was historically increasing by about a $10,000 amount each year. And so during that peak of COVID uh impacts, what the board ultimately authorized was temporarily suspending for that one year the $10,000 increase uh and keeping it flat from the prior year. The next year it kept on that that established track. Um and so that was the the the model. Then we've now to Car's point effectively gotten to the market rate. And so it's no longer feasible or or frankly fair to continue at that $10,000 annual increase rather the 3% is now kicking in. So I just wanted to offer that additional history and context.

Thank you. Any further? Supervisor Miller. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. For the executive committee, I would move to send this to the board for first reading tonight. I will second. Motion has been made by the executive committee to send this on to the county board for first reading tonight. It's a voice vote. All in favor say I. I. Opposed. Motion carried. Thank you.

Motion carries. Vice Chairman, Vice Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Resolution number 202554 is a resolution in support of the nomination of the Thomas H. Smith shipwreck steambridge in a restricted location area in the state of Wisconsin. And doing some little bit of homework on this, I've did some reading up on this that there's a lot of restrictions on shipwreck locations in the state of Wisconsin that are in place to protect and preserve these historic and archaeological sites through research, scientific study, and education. These regulations help prevent damage, looting, and authorized salvage, ensuring the wrecks remain intact for future generations to study and enjoy. So by doing that, we're just helping support that process to keep that location kept secret, restricted.

Are there any questions or comments? Supervisor wish. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In your uh studies, how do how does a diver know that's restricted space? I don't exactly know if there's I don't know if there's actually restricted space, but the actual location is kept restricted. Now, a lot of times the scientific study and research that's done on it is that's known. But the average actual dive teams unless they're out come across it themselves. It's not basically out for public to go and just, you know, rumage through it. So if somebody finds it, what's

right? They don't they don't get fined if they actually come across it on their own, but it's just to stop people from going down there trying to find trinkets and souvenirs and stuff like that because there's substantial fines and stuff for removing some of these artifacts from some of those ships. So if it is determined that somebody just happen stance comes upon it and decides to help themselves, if someone finds out or authorities find out, they're going to be fine. They could be liable. Absolutely. Good. Thank you. Any further questions, comments? Seeing none, seeing none, this is a voice majority vote. All in favor say I. I.

I. Opposed. Motion carried. Item number 12, reconsideration of resolutions and ordinances from previous meetings and/or action on vetos. There are no items. Item number 13, reconsideration of andor notice of intent to reconsider resolutions and ordinances. There is no notice.

thank you so much. Uh, just this past weekend, I was able to go to the event that our two youth in governance, one Madura, who was last year's youth and governance rep, and actually I think she served two years with us at the county board. Uh then the current um supervisor Miller, your youth and governance rep, Tria, uh coordinated a fundraiser, 5K walk over at Case High School. So successful. There's a lot we should all be proud of and just to see um they did a presentation beforehand and they had a lot of material afterward to educate on water conservation and how we're seeing county fares uh in comparison to other parts. So, Supervisor Miller, if you have the opportunity, please uh extend my pride and uh to Tria and see if there's any way that we can continue to support their efforts and wanting to expand themselves outside of just their normal everyday. And this is a reminder too that this is nomination time for youth and governance reps. So, uh mentors, please reach out to uh your mentees and see if you can help them at their schools. And then also you yourselves, any uh freshman, sophomore, or juniors, um uh get to nominating them or reach out to organizations who can do so.

I'd just like to uh uh take note of the donation page that was uh presented tonight and note that uh the county fair contributed $13,500 to the K9 project and you have to the summer youth project. You have United Way uh donating $150,000 which is unbelievable. And then our peopleowned, our professional team owned by the people, the Green Bay Packers, contributed $2,000 to the youth program.
