Sevastopol 1st Responders

What Sevastopol 1st Responders does

The Town of Sevastopol is a statutory municipal government entity in Door County, Wisconsin, providing local public services to residents, property owners, businesses, and short-term rental operators within its geographic boundaries. Core functional responsibilities include emergency services coordination (Fire & Rescue Committee, Door County Sheriff 911 dispatch, Sturgeon Bay Fire Department burn permits), property tax assessment and collection, building and zoning permitting (via Inspection Specialists, LLC and Door County Planning & Zoning), public records administration, election services, parks and recreation management (Town Park, ballfields, pickleball/tennis courts, boat launches, beach access), and short-term rental regulation (lodging permits, six-night minimum, room tax reporting). The Town operates with a lean administrative footprint — a single paid Clerk/Treasurer (Amy Flok) supported by a volunteer five-member Town Board chaired by Dan Woelfel — delivering services through the town hall at 4528 State Highway 57, Sturgeon Bay, supplemented by a municipal website, digital subscription notification system, YouTube channel, PEG TV, and printed newsletters.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: a content-managed municipal website hosted by Town Web with Cloudflare email protection, online forms for permits and facility rentals, and a digital subscription platform for news, agenda, minutes, and packet notifications. Compliance posture includes ADA Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 A/AA accessibility standards. The most strategically significant technology build is the AT&T fiber broadband deployment (kickoff June 6, 2025) across WI 42, WI 57, and multiple county and residential corridors, layered on an earlier public-private partnership with Hilbert Communications, LLC formalized via Resolution 2023-01 — together expanding last-mile connectivity for residents and businesses.

The Town's revenue model is fundamentally tax-based, not commercial. The primary funding mechanism is the annual property tax levy (general property tax levy of $654,600 in 2017 against a $723,122,500 assessed valuation, at a mill rate of $0.905240 per $1,000). Secondary fee-based streams include dog licenses ($3-$35), operator/bartender licenses ($10), temporary event Class B picnic licenses ($15), building/zoning/driveway permits, burn permits, facility rentals ($75-$200 for residents/non-residents for Town Hall community room and Town Park Pavilion), compost site access ($100/yr via City of Sturgeon Bay), and room tax collections passed to the Door County Tourism Zone Commission. The Town supplements operating revenue with external grants, notably DNR Targeted Runoff Management funds ($529,400 plus a $100,000 amendment) for the Dunes Lake Watershed restoration program. Total 2017 budget expenditure was $1,126,655.
