BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD MEETING
NOVEMBER 12, 1993
John Skulan Forestry Administrator, spoke in regard
to Forestry Office and operations
Janet Rathke Spoke in support of restoring monies
in County Clerk's Office Budget to replace
staff cut
No. 4
Moved by Brown and seconded by Strom to adjourn as a committee of the
whole and reconvene as a county board to take action on the 1994 budget.
Motion carried.
No. 5
Moved by Koehn and seconded by Strom to restore the four day per week
position in the U. W. Extension Office; restore the Bookmobile to its
original request; increase the Tourism Budget by $6,800; restore the
Emergency Government position to a full-time position; restore the four
day position in the County Clerk's Office with the understanding that
the County Clerk and the Personnel Director will work out the
secretarial services for the Personnel Director. The funds to cover the
above will come from the Contingency Fund.
Spears felt that the Tourism item should be out of this motion and
should be debated on its own merit. Spears also felt that the Home
Nursing portion of the budget should be cut out entirely and turned over
to private enterprise, the county parks should be sold to the Department
of Natural Resources, one road deputy should be eliminated from December
1st to April 30th and the Tourism Budget should be increased to hire
part-time help which would bring in additional revenue to the County.
Blahnik agreed that perhaps the county parks should be sold to the DNR
since they would still remain in public ownership, yet the county would
not be liable for them.
Brown spoke in favor of ITBEC and stated that she would like to see some
of these dollars restored for this project.
The question was called for on the motion. Roll call vote was follows:
No. 5a
Ayes - Erickson, Koehn, Strom, Blahnik, Janz, Santikko, Frankie, Koval,
Spears
Nayes - Brown, Pajala, Nelson, Rondeau
Ayes - 9; Nayes - 4; Total - 13; Motion carried.
No. 6
Moved by Spears and seconded by Brown to increase the Tourism Budget by
an additional $10,000.
After some discussion Brown withdrew her second of the motion. The
Chair called three times for a second; there being none the motion died
for lack of a second.
No. 7
Moved by Rondeau and seconded by Koval to place $6,800 in ITBEC,
contingent upon full county board approval, $4,000 in Tourism; and that
$13,000 be cut from the Highway levy and placed in the Contingency Fund
to cover these expenses.
A discussion took place on ITBEC. It was stated that the $6,800 does
not go to administration fees, as many of the board members were
concerned that the majority of the funds for ITBEC were for
administration.
Nelson spoke against the County putting any dollars into Tourism as he
felt government should not be stepping into the private sector.
Koehn stated that the decision on ITBEC does not have to be made this
evening; money could be left in the contingency fund for ITBEC and taken
out later if needed after more information is received.
Pajala did not agree with taking money from the Highway levy for ITBEC.
216
BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD MEETING
NOVEMBER 12, 1993
A roll call vote was taken on the motion as follows: no. 7a
Ayes - Rondeau
Nayes - Brown, Erickson, Koehn, Pajala, Strom, Blahnik, Janz, Santikko,
Frankie, Koval, Nelson, Spears
Ayes - 1; Nayes - 12; Total - 13; Motion lost.
No. 8
Moved by Brown and seconded by Erickson that $6,800 be set aside in the
contingency fund for ITBEC and that the Executive Committee and the
Tourism Committee make a study to see if Bayfield County should
participate in the ITBEC Council and that an additional $4,000 be placed
in the Tourism Budget.
Strom had a problem with this motion as the Tourism Budget was the only
budget that came in without a 0% increase as was instructed all the
other departments. The Tourism Budget came in approximately $5,000 over
the 1993 budget; therefore, when a $10,000 cut was made in that
department, it actually was only a $5,000 cut from the Tourism Budget.
The board has now restored $6,800 into this budget so the Tourism
budget is now $1,800 over the 1993 budget.
At this time Brown agreed to drop the mention of adding $4,000 to the
Tourism Budget from her motion.
A roll call vote was taken on the motion to placed $6,800 aside in the
contingency fund for the purpose of the ITBEC Council: No. 8a
Ayes - Brown, Erickson, Koehn, Strom, Janz, Santikko, Frankie
Nayes - Pajala, Blahnik, Koval, Nelson, Spears, Rondeau
Ayes - 7; Nayes - 6; Total - 13; Motion carried.
No. 9
Moved by Erickson and seconded by Strom to set the 1994 county levy at
$3,829,830.00.
Roll call vote as follows: No. 9a
Ayes - Brown, Erickson, Koehn, Pajala, Strom, Blahnik, Janz, Santikko,
Frankie, Koval, Spears
Nayes- Nelson, Rondeau
Ayes - 11; Nayes - 2; Total - 13; Motion carried.
(Printout of 1994 budget after meeting adjournment)
