The following Resolution was read: No. 5 RESOLUTION REGARDING THE IMPACT OF EXCESS AIDS TO WISCONSIN SCHOOL DISTRICTS WHEREAS, as stated in Section 121.01 of the Wisconsin State Statutes, "It is the declared policy of this state that education is a state function and that some relief should be afforded from the local general property tax as a source of public school revenue where such tax is excessive, and that other sources of revenue should contribute a larger percentage of the total funds needed." And WHEREAS, as stated in Section 121.13 (4) of the Wisconsin State Statutes, "In school districts having a required operating levy rate exceeding 17 mills, state aid also shall be paid in a sum equal to the amount of the net operating cost in excess of the amount produced by a levy rate equal to 17 mills on the school district equal ed valuation." And April 15, 1969 WHEREAS, the basic premise that taxation in excess of a 17 mill levy on equal- ized valuation for the operational cost of a school district constitutes an over- burden on the general property tax remains a valid premise for all school districts; "SAT01 WHEREAS, the elimination of the excess aid provision of the state aids program plus the normal increase in general operating costs of a school district would re- sult in a crippling financial crisis to those districts presently receiving excess aids; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the legislature of the State of Wisconsin con- tinue the excess aid provision in school districts of already high property tax rates at least until the Kellet Committee on Education makes its report to the legis- lature and be it resolved that the legislature of the State of Wisconsin adopt a. provision whereby no school district shall -receive less state aid for educational purposes than was received in the 1968-1969 school year and that such provision re- main in force until future revisions in the state'aid formula would provide aids which equal or exceed the amount of funds currently being received by any school district. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Govern- or Warren P. Knowles, Senator Arthur Cirilli, Assemblyman Ernest Korpela and Sen- ator Walter Hollander and Assemblyman Byron Wackett, Co -Chairman of the Joint Finance Committee.

The following Communication and statement for services rendered received from Mr. Robert Novack was read: No. 6 Robert Novack, Architect March 11, 1969 Mr. Edward Pajala Bayfield County Clerk Bayfield County Administration Building Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Pajala: The enclosed statement presents the balance of actual expenses incurred in the preparation of working drawings for Phase 2 of the above project prior to the receipt of the order to discontinue the work on the design issued February 12, 1969 by the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors. - --- ------ - April 15_,-_1_969- - - - - --- - - - - - — ---- --- --- -=-- _ - Since the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors.may abandon the previously. approved Proposal 1 as the result of the public objection evident at the meetings held on March 5th and March 6th, this statement is being present- ed at this time for consideration. At the time of the discontinuance of the work on the project, the engineers had not entered into the actual production of working drawings and there- fore the assessment for engineering work is minimal as indicated in the attached schedule. This engineering work is related only to the design of Proposal 1 and cannot be reused in the preparation of alternate studies. The balance of the costs constitute the work which has been produced on the architectural portion of the project. Prints of this work are attach- ed for your review and are presented to certify the completion of approxi- mately fifty percent of the architectural drawings for the project. In the architectural studies of Phase 2 of the project, much time was allocated to the jail facilities and its construction specialties and: since some of this data can be reused in the design of a smaller jail pro- ject, credit can be issued for this portion of the work. Therefore, with the consideration that alternate studies will be ordered shortly by the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors for the remodeling of the present jail building or the construction of a smaller jail facility .and that my contract for architectural services will continue to be honored for these studies, I will credit Bayfield County two thousand dollars to- ward this statement. A check in this amount will be issued upon receipt of the balance due on Phase 2 of the project. Sincerely, Robert Novack RN/rn STATEMENT To: Bayfield County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin PROJECT Addition and Alterations to March 11, 1969 Bayfield County Administration Building Washburn, Wisconsin Phase 2 REFERENCE AIA Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Architect For professional services up to February 11, 1969 at which time work on the project was discontinued on order of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors. Balance due on Phase 2 $4,716.98 Mr. Novack was present and suggested that the two thousand dollar credit April 15, 1969 referred to in the foregoing letter be deducted from the amount due for his ser- vices. Moved by Moniza and seconded by Stuart to receive the foregoing communication and place on file and to allow the claim of Robert Novack. A roll call vote taken was as follows: 6a Ayes - Kyle, Rondeau, Mammoser, Stuart, E. Nelson, Heglund, Moniza, Brost, S. Anderson, hehto, Sampson, Bt.,,.:Nelson, Meierotto, Wasmuth, Bratley, P. Hanson, Rude, Barningham - Nayes - Howell, Celinsky, Erickson - Ayes - 18 Nayes - 3 Total - 21 Motion Carried. The following Communication was received: No. 7 April 11, 1969 Mr. Walter Barningham, Chairman Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Bayfield, Wisconsin Dear Sir: This letter will serve as a report of an inspection and as a directive setting forth the majority of items that will need, correcting/or replacing to your jail facility. Therefore as in accordance with the provisions of Section 46.17 (3) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the Bayfield County Jail was inspected on April 8, 1969. The facility was found to be as clean and orderly as is possible with the pre- vailing inadequacies. The necessary jail records were up to date and correct. The tour of the jail facility on this date by the Executive Committee of Bay - field County, Sheriff Ellsworth Embertson, Architect Robert Novack and his two engineers and State Detention Supervisor Alvin T. Nygaard, was conducted for the purpose of identifying the inadequacies that would have to be corrected to meet minimal standards. The following inadequacies are identified as follows: (1) The jail at the present time is not approved for juveniles; (2) there is no shower in the dorm- itory on the second floor; (3) where prisoners have access to windows, they must be protected so that.prisoners cannot see out or that other people can look in. Security screens must also be installed; lighting fixtures must be securely pro- tected where exposed to inmates, including conduits; (4) the cells in the cell block on the first floor must each have a toilet bowl and wash bowl in order to provide security and segregation. Prisoners contained in this area should not have access to the guard corridor except to be permitted to shower, and then under surveilance of a jailer; (5) the cots in the cells of the first floor cell block are not of the prison type and should be replaced and also prison type mattresses provided; (6) dining in the immediate room to entrance should cease and feeding April 15, 1969 should be at the area where prisoners are contained; (7) the two cells leading off of the room presently serving as a dining room should be corrected and react- ivated to be used as receiving cells. This would entail the moving of the shower stall into the larger room, providing the necessary security to the windows, mov- ing the slop sink also into the larger room. This would provide two isolation cells, and would permit the present dining room to be used as a visitation room; (8) the dormitory on the second floor should be corrected by repairing the win - down. The aluminum framing is inadequate and should be steel. Security screens should be installed also; (9) a shower should also be installed in the dormitory; (10) if the three cells at the top of the stairs are to be used correctly,, there should be two exits in working order; (11) this would necessitate revisions with- in the dormitory to provide hallway space to the present emergency exit. The main door to the dormitory should be kept locked, therefore requiring revisions for access to the emergency door for the three cells; (12) the entrance to the secur- ity area (from the office) at the present time has two doors. The solid door opens inward and should open outward. The grilled door should be removed and the solid door put in its place. An observation slot should be cut in the solid door. (13) Returning to the dormitory on the second floor - the domestic cots used should be replaced with prison type cots (they remain standard and can be transferred to a new facility); (14) Some means for air exchange should be provided. In addition, the findings of the architect and his staff will in some in- stances be in addition to those set forth in this letter. It would be most difficult to specifically determine the time span.that could be allowed for in an approval by remodeling, or correcting of the inadequacies that exist in your jail facility. The correcting of the inadequacies is one fact- or that adherence to stipulations, set forth, in an approval for operation of a. corrected facility is another factor. Constant maintenance is very important, and in an older facility there is greater emphasis on maintenance and repair. I am forwarding this letter as I am not sure that I can be present at your meeting on April 15, 1969. Very truly yours, Alvin T. Nygaard, Detention Supervisor Division of Corrections DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES ATN:cc cc: Mr. George Moniza. Mr. Edward A. Pajalat, County Clerk Sheriff Ellsworth Embertson Architect Robert Novack file Moved by Stuart and seconded by Rude to receive the foregoing Communication and place on file. Motion Carried. The following Communications were read: No. 8 April 15, 1969 Robert Novack April 11, 1969 Mr. Edward Pajal& Bayfield County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Pajala:_ Remodeling of the Bayfield County Jail Washburn, Wisconsin Architect In order to ascertain the cost of the required alterations to the existing Bayfield County Jail as required by the Wisconsin Department of Industry, Labor & Human Relations and the Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Correction, it is necessary to make a complete study of the building. A preliminary study of this building would include the analysis of the exist- ing structure, the preparation of sketches indicating the present building layout and construction, sketches of the proposed alterations, a complete estimate -of costs and written report of this study for presentation to the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors. All professional services relative to this preliminary study of the jail al - aerations will be presented for a fee of $1,500.00. If the County Board of Supervisors elects to proceed with the working drawings: and specifications for the work shown in the preliminary study which would be nec- essary for presentation to the contractors for Firm Construction Bids, the fee for professional services relative to this portion of the work shall be $2,200.00. If the County Board of Supervisors elects to accept the Firm Construction Bids received from the contractors and proceed with the proposed remodeling, pro- fessional services required in preparing contracts, inspection of the work under construction, certification of payments to contracttors and final approval of con- struction at completion of the work shall be provided for afee of $1,000.00. RN/rn April 11, 1969 Mr. Edward Pajala. Bayfield County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Edo Res:p.ecttfully submitted, Robert Novack With the cost of the preliminary study and the ultimate cost of the remodeling of the old jail, I still believe that the most logical solution to this problem is to forget Proposal 1 attached to.the present building and instead plan and build aa.smaller jail building on the site of the existing jail building reusing the pre- sent garage and boiler room and attaching the new jail portion to this garage building. In this manner a new boiler could be installed in the old boiler room this summer to solve the problem of the replacement of that heating system and if we didn't waste too much time getting the jail portion of the building under con- struction, I believe Mr. Nygaard would allow the present jail to remain as it is now being used. - - - April-- 15 9 -_1969 - -- - -- -- -- - - I discussed this solution to the problem with Mr. Nygaard last Tuesday at lunch and he felt that the proposal had some merit. If you think this would be received by the County Board of Supervisors in a favorable manner, I would be glad to propose it at the meeting on next Tuesday. I really think any money spent on the old jail would end up in the least desir- able solution to this problem and the most unrealistic. Sincerely, Robert Novaek RN/rn Moved by Mammoser and seconded by Sampson to receive the foregoing communicat- ions and place on file. Motion Carried.
