That part of the payroll for work on state trunk highways will be reimbursed 100% from the state. The balance of the highway contribution costs will be charged to county trunk highway allotment and therefore will not affect the real or personal property tax. The Rest Home payroll is estimated at $51,191.00 which will require an employer contribution of about $4,151.00 for the first year. Of this amount, approximately 555/o will be reimbursable from the State and Federal Government amounting to $2283.00 and balance of $1868.00 will go on the tax roll. The Welfare Administration payroll will be.approximately $30,120.00 this year. The employers contribution will be approximately $2,443.00 of which.65% or $1,588.00 will be reimbursed by State and Federal Aids. This will,leave about 35016 or $855.00 that will go on the'real and personal property tax. The General Court House payroll will be approximately $921970.004 This will require an employers contribution of approximately $7,540.00 RECAPITULATION The items that will affect the real and personal.property tax as part of the county tax roll will be as follows:.

Olsen Nick Pristash Albert"Peterson, Jr. The actuarial analysis of the data furnished by your office has been completed and the 1961 contribution rates of the Bay`fi.eld County under the Wisconsin Retirement Fund if it becomes a participating municipality thereunder as of January:l,1961 have been determined by this office on the basis of such date. The..attached schedule shows the costs that would result from.the election by the County to become a Participating Municipality. These costs represent em- V ployer costs only. April 19, 1960 The term "audit obligation" refers to the estimated amount of the aggregate prior service credits which would be allowed the eligible employees. The term "actuarial obligation" refers to the expected cost of granting such credits based on the assumptions as to employee turnover adopted by the Board of the Wisconsin Retirement Fund. The "annual requirement" is the annual payment which will amortize the actuarial obligation in the statutory period of 40 years. This amount is more than 1/40 of the actuarial obligation because interest at 3Y2% per year accrues on the unpaid balance of the obligation from year to year. The schedule also includes the employer contribution rates for 1961 for current service credits, disability, and expense purposes. Upon coming under the Fund, the County would make contributions computed by multiplying the compensation of all covered employees by the applicable percent- age rates. If these rates produce greater contributions for prior service credits or current service credits than are required to finance the County's obligations, the contribution rates for subsequent years would be appropriately adjusted so the County would receive credit for all overpayments and be charged with any deficiency. These adjustments become necessary from time to time as a result of.differences between actual and expected turnover experience and of changes in the amounts of covered payroll. The Legislature by enacting Chapter 503, Laws of 1959, permits a County to elect not to make a contribution on account of ,prior service credits in its first year under the Fund and a reduced contribution the second year. If Bayfield County exercise this option its contribution for 1961 would be reduced about $$18,400 and the 1962 contribution about $$9,200. This $27,600 reduction for the years 1961 and 1962 would be made up together with accrued interest by increased contributions paid for the next 38 years.

On behalf of the people of Cable, Wisconsin a sincere thank you for your assistance. Sincerely yours, Walter Paulsen. Village President VILLAGE OF CABLE CABLE, WISCONSIN Honorable Board of Trustees April 13, 1960 County of Bayfield Gentlemen: The Cable, Wisconsin Board of Trustees and its citizens are appealing to the Bayfield County Board of Trustee:, in session at the reading of this plea, to amend what we feel is a great injustice to us. County Trunk Highway "D", now currently being improved through.the Village of Cable, by the Bayfield County Highway Department is ruining taxable property by being graded too high. Also a hill which should be cut down, to permit better visibility, is being left. If the present grade is left, all of the waters, rain and snow, will continue draining onto property adjacent to County Trunk Highway "D". Much_to the unhappiness of the people who are tax payers as you are. We feel the grade should be cut down at least a foot, to permit us to install, in the near future, curbs and gutters. We also feel_ that the entire hill should be cut down, to permit unobstructed visibility for all traffic. The cutting down of the hill.would also permit all waters to drain into a swamp, therby eliminating the drainage onto taxable property. -April 20,1960 The property in question is in the Village of Cable, and the petition is submitted to you by the people of the Village of Cable. As much as you appreciate your community, we are just as proud of ours. We have submitted this same request to Mr. Harry Curry, Bayfield County Highway Chairman and the Bayfield County Highway Committee, Mr. Ernest_Moore, Chairman. We have been completely unsuccessful in our plea. Our only chance now is to present our plea to you, which we hope and pray you will recognize. We as citizens of Bayfield County submit this to you, the Bayfield County Board of Trustees, for consideration and action. Sincerely yours, Walter Paulsen Village President Moved by Tribovich and seconded by Hoefling to refer the foregoing Communications to the Highway Committee for further study. Motion Carried.

The following report was read: CERRO DE PASCO CORPORATION New York 22, N. Y. January.12, 1960 County Clerk Bayfield County Courthouse Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Sir: During 1959, Cerro de Pasco geologists made a careful general reconnaissance of all the surface showings of possible copper-beari:ng lodes.in the properties covered by the-Exploration'Agreement and Option to Lease entered into as of November 13, 1958 between Bayfield County and Cerro de Pasco Corporation. Although minor indications of copper are found in the amygdaloid flows over a wide area, at no place was the copper content or geologic conditions such as.could be .considered favorable.for the existance of an economic copper deposit of interest to Cerro. More favorable conditionsin neighboring areas of.Douglas County were drilled during the past year but also failed to disclose possibilities for economic deposits. Due to this evidence, Cerro does not feel that drilling, surface excavations or sampling of the Bayfield areas would be justified. Very truly yours, Stanton Be Keith, Chief Geologist Move. by Berweger and seconded by H: J. S..Hanson to receive the foregoing report and place on file Motion carried. The following Report and request for lease was read: CERRO DE PASCO CORPORATION NEW YORK 22, N. Y. December 30, 1959 County Clerk Bayfield County Courthouse Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Sir: Cerro de Pasco Corporation has carried out an extensive geological examination in Bayfield and Douglas Counties and has diamond drilled what appeared to be the most favorable locations,for copper deposits in Douglas_County close to those areas of.Bayfield County which were covered by the Exploration Agreement and Option to Lease' entered into as of November 13, 1958 between Bayfield County and Cerro April 20, 1960 de.Pasco Corporation. Unfortunately, the results of the work done do not indicate encouraging possibilities for the development of economic copper deposits within the areas covered. Consequently Cerro feels further exploration work would not be justified and will surrender its rights under the agreement by default of the payment otherwise due on December 31, 1959, in accordance with Paragraph 11 of its agreement with the County. Cerro regrets the necessity of making this decision but wishes to express its appreciation to the,officials of the Bayfield County for their interest and cooperation in this venture. Foreseeing your request for information on the work done, Cerro is preparing a summary report which will be forwarded to you in duplicate in the near future.
