No. 4 Sidney Reynolds Cable, Wisconsin November 149 1967 TO: The Bayfield County Board Washburn, Wisconsin Gentlemen: I hereby tender my application for the position of Bayfield County Highway Commissioner. I am fifty three years old, married, have four children, one at home and reside in the Village of Cable. I feel that I am qualified and am attaching a resume of my activities since 1940 outlined by an employer and business associate since that time. Will appreciate very much your consideration. Sidney Reynolds TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: SUBJECTS SIDNEY B. REYNOLDS Mr. Sidney B. Reynolds, of Cable, Wisconsin, has asked me to outline my knowledge of his abilities and activities during the period of our acquaintance. He has worked with us in both our accounting and construction activities. I first became acquainted with Mr. Reynolds in 1940 when he was managing the office for William L. Kimmes, Inc. I did the public accounting work for that Company for several years and worked quite closely with Sid during that time. He was still working in that capacity when I started in the contracting business in 1946, and I had quite close contact with him as an employe of a competitor for the next five or six years. After that, he managed the Kimmes Company for several years, again being a competitor and having an office in the same building in Superior. As I recall, he was employed with Nagle -Hart, Inc. at Eau Claire after that, and in 1958, started working for us. He worked for us during construction seasons from that time until 1966- he had other work he was doing at the same time and in off-season. He worked as an assistant to the superintendent, as a project manager, and for two^years, helped manage the office in Superior. My contacts with Sid have been almost entirely on a business basis. He did live in Superior for a time and I am somewhat acquainted with the family. I also know of his personal habits from acquaintance with many others who have worked with him during the years. All`of these associates seem to feel that he has a high degree of integrity and industry. It is of my knowledge that he has a deep sense of family responsibility lV November 14, 1g67 and has occasionally incurred obligations to fulfill that responsibility. During all of the years that we have known and worked with Sid, we have found him willing and able to accept responsibility. With his long and varied experience in our kind of work, he has been helpful in the various capacities that we have employed him. In the more recent years, he has helped only in times when we were extremely busy and asked him to take some particular assignment, somewhat as a favor. We have found him honest and with a high degree of native intelligence which enables him to adapt to varying situations. This ability apparently was further developed by the rather broad experience in working in his several capacities for the Kimmes Company. We considered it a privilege to have Sid as an employe and associate. The work he has done for us required industry, integrity, loyalty, intelligence, and acceptance of responsibility. He felt he should have a more stable and permanent type of employ- ment, and at a location where he could be more regularly with his family. Even then, he did some work for us again in 1966 when we had work in the Cable area. Signed: Leslie Olsen President - McLean Construction Company President - Lakehead Constructors, Inc.

The following Report was read: No. 34 REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMITTEE FOR 1967 OUT DOOR SHOWS Outdoor Sports Shows in Milwaukee, Chicago & Minneapolis were attended by personnel of the Bayfield County Conservation Committee in 1967. All shows had in- creased attendance over,previous years. Inquiries at our booth indicate that tourists are interested in what we have to offer. The influx of tourists this past season, the committee feels, has been a great boost to our economy. The committee's plans are to attend the same three shows in 1968. We purchased 75,000 folders, 10,000 bags and 50,000 inquiry cards in 1967. 'We do not propose to buy shopping bags or inquiry cards in 1968.. COUNTY PARKS Twin Bear and Delta Parks show on over -crowding. There is a great need for up -grading these two parks. Big Rock park has been developed to accomodate better camping area. We hope to develop some accomodations at our new`Atkiris Lake Park in the Town of Pratt. There is much need for additional tables in. all of our parks. WATER SHED AND STREAM IMPROVEMENT There were three stream improvement projects that were approved on matching funds from bounty aids. Only one was completed, the 18 mile creek project in the Town of Pratt. Due to financial difficulties the Town of Port Wing and the Town of Delta were unable to participate, so the County lost $3,000.00 in available bounty aids. DAMS & SURVEYS Nothing has been done in regard to dams and surveys. The Committee decided not to take action on Totogatic Lake dam as it would cost about $2,000.00 to bring it to a hearing.

Dated: this 15th day of November, 1967. Presented by: Bennie R. Rude Art A. Anderson Edwin Erickson Louis J. Brost Sanfred Anderson Moved by Rude and seconded by Erickson to adopt the foregoing Resolution. Motion Carried. November 15, 1967 Mr. Dashner, Welfare Director, appeared before the Board. He answered a number of questions in regard to the foregoing Resolution which were of concern to the Board members. The following Report and Budget was presented to the Board: No. 39 To The Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: The year 1967 proved to be a period of continued changes making necessary the need for adjustments within the agency. Mr. Brenholt, having completed all necessary requirements, was promoted to Social Worker III, a supervisory position. In this role, he assisted the Director by providing more supervision to the Social Workers. By giving them more time for individual conferences, the agency was better staffed to achieve the goals of the department. Mr. Brenholt terminated his employment with the agency to enter,pri- vate business. This vacant position will be detrimental to the agency, and accord- ing to statewide needs for supervisors, it appears this position will remain vacant for at least one year. The agency has been certifying both adults and children in mental institutions for the Medical Assistance program and processing Social Security Aids applications for those in need of money grants. These money grants are small and intended only to meet the personal and clothing needs of those clients. Certifying these patients for Medical Assistance should mean a savings of money for the county. The reason for this is that these patients are those whose care was charged to the county as state special charges. (See Medical Assistance reimbursement for explanation.):: The state legislature voted to increase the food and clothing allowances of welfare recipients. This resulted in about an eight per cent increase in these allowances to compensats for the increase in cost of living expenses since the last adjustments made in 1958. To accomplish this, the State Department of Public Welfare) adopted a revised budgeting procedure. The agency will have completely changed all budgets with the issuance of the November grants. Cases servi-ced by the agency on a monthly basis are: Old Age Assistance, 181; Blind Aid, 4; Disabled Aid, 41; Aid to Dependent Children, 40; and Aid to Dependent Children in Poster Homes, 6; for a total of 272 cases. Medical Assistance recipients number 257, therefore the total caseload is 529 persons. The agency at this time is meeting all requirements of the social service to clients plan as established by state and federal policy. This means that in addition to those families receiving money grants, the agency is offering service to all families certified for the Medical Assistance program. As a new adventure designed to provide for a fulfillment in the social lives of our clients, the agency in September initiated a Volunteer Service Program. The program will function with an agency staff -member as the Supervisor and this will be the.only salaried position. All others serving as volunteers will receive no monetary compensation for their time given to the activities of the program. They will, however, be reimbursed for mileage for the use of their gutomobile. The agency staff consists of three clerical workers, five social workers, one supervisor, one homemaker, and the director. Changes in staffing have been:. 525 November 15, 1967 Mr. Brenholt reclassified from Social Worker II to Social Worker III on February 26, 1967, terminated employment on September 22, 1967, position vacant; Mr. Utpadel re- classified from Social Worker -I to Social Worker II on September 15, 1967; Mrs. Orli- koski reclassified from Homemaker to Supervisor of'Volunteer Services; Mrs. Agnes Oreskovich appointed to the position of Homemaker to replace Mrs. Orlikoski. The ag- ency has been.reclassi.fied from an Agency II to Agency III. Therefore, the Director classification also changes from.Director II to Director III. The Indian Relief program expenditures for nine months were $$2,266.15. The anticipated total expenditure should not exceed $$3,000.00 as compared to $6,393.73 for the year 1966. The greatest reason for this decrease is perhaps the improved employment conditions in the area. These are all state funds with no county funds necessary. Surplus commodities consisting of "the following foods: butter, cheese, lard, raisins, beans, bulgar, cornmeal, flour, canned meat, dry milk., peanut butter, rice, and rolled wheat, have been distributed to an average of 844 persons per month. For the first eight months, the cost of the program was $$5,029.96 with an annual estimate of $6,708.00. The recommendation for 1968 is for an appropriation of $$7,500.00. The county's application for participation in the Food Stamp program is still pending because the U. S. Department of Agriculture has not as yet received approval of its budget. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, however, has requested an appro- priation of sufficient amount to include those applications now pending. At this time, we can only continue with the commodity program until advised of approval. Judicare, a program to provide free legal service as sponsored by the State Bar Association, has been available to residents of the county, and the agency has certi- fied.51 persons for this service. The Title V Work and Training program now has ten of our clients enrolled in programs designed,to prepare thefn for employment. This program operates with no county funds involved. The expenditure for this program was $$17,344.29 for.the fiscal year July 1966 through June 1967. Total number of participants for this period was 41; those completing the training course, 10; those employed as a direct result of their training, 3. The year 1967, continuing to be a growth or changing year, has been a year of challenge and confusion and has caused anxieties on all levels of social work. The Bayfield County Department of Public Welfare has been able to adjust and function under the above conditions through the devoted efforts of a loyal staff. To achieve total integration of programs, the county agency will now administer relief on a county system of relief. Relief expenditures within the county for the year were $$3,378.72 of which $$2,368.15 was for medical and burial expenses. The recommended budget for relief for 1968 i6 $5,000.00. This figure is considered to be sufficient inasmuch as the agency has had no experience in administering this pro- gram. In conclusion I offer acknowledgement and appreciation for -support of agency activities by the County Board of Supervisors, the Welfare Board, and to a loyal and - devoted staff. Under these conditions, the agency will continue to provide for the fulfillment of the goals of the county, state, and federal governments in meeting the needs of the less fortunate citizens within the county.

William Stuart, Chairman Resource Development Committee Member, Community Action Committee Moved by Stuart and seconded by Doyel to adopt the foregoing Resolution. Motion Carried. The next order of business was to discuss and consider the proposed 1968 Budget® No. 48 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1968 TO THE'HONORABLE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Gentlemen! We, the undersigned members of the. Executive Committee, hereby submit our report and recommendations for 1968... VALUATION The Supervisor of Assessments recommends a true value of $61,090,800.00. The legal levy limit exclusive of debt items for County General purposes is 1%. The pro- posed Budget is $251,392.00 below the legal limit. The Contingency Fund is $35,000.00 which the committee feels is adequate to cover any emergencies that might arise. FINANCE The Committee has kept all Budgets intact as recommended by the various committees 1. No provisions have been made for financing any salary increases in the Budget. There are some salary adjustment recommendations and if approved can be financed by trans- ferring funds from the_ contingency fund. The County once again had a substantial cash surplus accumulated. $150,000.00 of this surplus is being applied against the tax levy. Another $150,000.00 will be.recommended for a building program. The County is faced with providing for better jail facilities in the near future. HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES Highway expenditures are financed entirely from gasoline and automobile revenues, with the exception of County Bridge Aid to Districts. The Bridge Aids for 1968 amounts to $1,777.96. AUDIT The 1966 report is on file in the County Clerk's office and is available for in- spection. The audit was completed on schedule and greatly aided the committee in the preparation of the Budget. Again we wish to commend the County Clerk's office for the up to date bookkeeping records and information which assisted the committee very much in their Budget work. The clerk recommends some grouping of account classifica- tions so to make it more convenient to complete State Reports, and to delete the County Superintendent of Schools account. The Committee-,support's;these recommenda- tions.. We recommend the acceptance of the audit proposal for the 1967 records. 531 _ _November_15, 1967_ _ z HEALTH AND WELFARE The Welfare Budget continues to be a major factor in the amount of the Budget. Some of the Federal programs effecting welfare are beginning to level off. The Rest, Home continues to be operated at full capacity., The Pureair Sanatorium is still a problem because of low patient load. Studies on dual purpose usage are in progress amongst the three owner counties. The present recommendation is to use the facility as a Mental Health and Tuberculosis Center. This seems to be the most feasable use at this time, and the three owner counties have tentatively agreed to recommend the use of the facility for this dual purpose. The big problem is interim financing which has not been resolved. There is a sum of $6,000.00 for the North Central Guidance Center which is operating to capacity and performing a very needed area service.
