Mayor's Report: May 14, 2026

To the Residents of Bayfield,

It is a pleasure to see the seasons shift; with the recent turn in the weather, it is clear that spring is finally upon us. As our community transitions into this vibrant season, the City is moving forward with several key projects aimed at enhancing our infrastructure and public spaces.

Infrastructure & Technology Upgrades
We are entering a significant phase of modernization for our City utilities.
  • Kamstrup Meter Implementation: Public Works will soon begin installing new Kamstrup water meters throughout the City. These advanced meters will ensure more accurate readings and help identify leaks more efficiently.
  • Action Required: Please keep an eye out for upcoming correspondence regarding installation schedules. We will be reaching out to coordinate specific dates and times to access your meter.
  • Software Transition: To support this hardware, the City is migrating to Workhorse software. This integration is essential for the meters and our administrative systems to communicate effectively, ensuring a seamless billing and monitoring process.

Park & Waterfront Improvements
We are currently in the planning and implementation stages for significant improvements to our waterfront infrastructure. These renovations will focus on:
  • Main City Dock
  • East Dock Park
While these projects are being designed and coordinated now, we are targeting a late fall 2026 start date for construction. This timing allows us to enjoy our public docks and parks throughout the peak summer and autumn seasons while ensuring necessary work is completed during the quieter months.

Along with these future projects, we are continuing on with the daily activities of the City. Our departments remain focused on the essential services that keep Bayfield running smoothly—from public safety and road maintenance to the administrative support that keeps our local government transparent and accessible.

Implementing these technological and physical changes requires significant coordination. I want to thank our City staff and committee members who are working diligently behind the scenes. All committees and staff are working together to implement these changes as effectively as possible to ensure the long-term resilience of our City.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve Bayfield.


Respectfully,
Mayor Lyn Cornelius
