Rude, and Walter C. Barningham - Present 19 Absent: George Moniza, Arthur Meierotto Mr. Richard Olson appeared before the Board and made a progress report on the Bayfield County Memorial Hospital. He explained in detail the various change orders that have been made in the construction contracts. He informed the Board that con- struction appeared to be about one to ane and one-half months ahead of -thm schedules. tgmxxx This is due to an early start in the construction and exceptionally favorable weather during the construction period. Mr. Olson also spoke regarding the present financial condition of the hospital construction fund. A number of questions were raised that were answered by Mr. Olson. The following Communication was read: No. 2 To All County Forest Administrators: You are aware that the recently enacted ORAP-200 legislation provided a major program for the development of wildlife habitat on county forests. Basically, it provides for a direct payment to the county in the amount of five cents per acre of county forest to improve wildlife habitat according to a prescribed and approved plan. Because this law is brand new, we have not developed the detailed procedures and forms as yet. This will be done in the very -near future and details will be sent to each of you. However, the law does provide that any county wishing to be included in this program must, by resolution of the county board, indicate this desire to the Department. Knowing that a number of the county boards will be meeting in the near future we are enclosing a sample resolution which can be used by your county forestry committee and the county board to express this desire. Also included is a copy of the law pertaining to the program which outlines the essential procedural requirements. You will note that provision is made for the approval of projects and inclusion of these projects in the annual work plan. In addition to the resolution, I suggest that your committee may wish to antici- pate projects for the remainder of this fiscal year. The area game manager and forester have worked up certain plans for wildlife habitat improvement on county forests. It would be well for you to contact these individuals and at least hold February 10, 1970 exploratory discussions on those plans which may be applicable. You are aware that the top priority in the current game habitat program on all public lands is the maintenance of deer habitat. This is a large program and timely in that the deer populations are at a point where such work is feasible. I mention this only as a guideline you may use in establishing priorities for your county progr You can expect to receive additional information on this program in the very near future. 1-29-70 Very truly yours, L. P. Voigt, Secretary Moved by Rondeau and seconded by Mammoser to receive and place on file the fore- going Communication. Motion Carried.

The reason for this letter is highway safety and the use of salt on our state and county roads. This all started years ago when the county used sand with a little salt which was good. Now salt alone is used just to melt snow. Uounty Trunk D is now a winter time slosh trail.; I have listed below some of the disadvantages and unsafe driving conditions when salt alone is used on the roads. 1. Wet sloshy roads with below freezing temperatures. It has been proven by university safe driving teams that it takes very little water on the road surface to hydroplane a car. This is at temperatures above freezing, not in winter driving. 2. Windshield, headlights and rearview.mirrors get extremely dirty with salt spray, visibility hazard. 3. Maintenance failure due to corrosive action on brake lines, gas lines and other parts of the car or truck. 4. Road maintenance is extreme due to salt water freezing in the cracks of the road surface. 5. Deer come to the edge of the road to drink saltwater in the Spring, some of them are -hit by cars. 6. Water pollution in our lakes and streams due to the many tons of salt used on the roads in the winter. 7. Concrete floors in private garages are destroyed by saltwater. 8. Cars no longer last the time it takes to pay for them. 9. When salt is spread down the center of a road, drivers are tempted to stay too close to the center or yellow line and there is a chance of a head-on collision. 10 Slosh builds up in front wheel wells and prevents turning of the front wheels on real cold days. Other disadvantages and.unsafe driving conditions on county and state roads are: 1. goad oil on County Trunk D is still coming up on cars a year and one-half after it was put down. 2. Plow trucks running too fast in light snow with cross winds over the roads can't see trucks or the road. February 10,__ 1970 _ 3. Grader not being used to take snow and slosh off roads. 4. Grass on County Trunk D was not cut until late Aug. of this year. 5. Road maintenance on County Trunk D is terrible, chuck holes all through the summer and late in the fall. 6. Blown down trees lay on County Trunk D for days. As assessor of the Town of Grand View, the above questions are asked whenI meet the tax payer. Any information on the above conditions would be of great help. Thank you, Harley E. Forrar Moved by Rondeau and seconded by E. Erickson to refer the foregoing Communica- tion to the Highway Committee for consideration. Motion Carried. The following Resolution was read: No. 5 WHEREAS, the premises described as: All that part of Government Lot Four (4) of Section Twenty-three (23), Township Fifty (50) North, Range Four (4) West, lying south and east of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad Right-of-way is owned by Bayfield, Ashland and Iron Counties and is exempt from real estate tax, and, WHEREAS, the said premises was inadvertently included in a conveyance to one Albin Larson when he purchased the portion of said Lot Four lying north of the Rail- fj road Right-of-way recently with the result that Lot Four was assessed as a whole Q for 1969; A BE IT RESOLVED, That that tax assessed and levied on Government Lot Four of s ti Section Twenty-three, Township Fifty North, Range Four West for the year 1969 is de- e y clared illegal and void, and that the portion thereof lying -north of the Railroad Right-of-way be assessed on the tax roll this year for 1969 as omitted property, in addition to the regular assessment thereon for the year 1970. Walter Barningham c Moved by Wasmuth and seconded by Erickson to adopt the foregoing Resolution. Amended motion made by Rondeau and seconded by Howell to adopt the foregoing Resolution with the approval of the District Attorney. Motion carried as amended. Records in office of Register of Deeds correspond to this Resolution. Approved: Robert N. Ledin, District Attorney 1-19-70 The following Petition was read: Bayfield County Board County Courthouse Washburn, Wisconsin Gentlemen: No. 6 1211 - 4th Avenue West Ashland, Wisconsin 54806 January 12, 1970 I wish to make an appeal for correction of an illegal 1969 tax statement on my lake property listed on page 67 of the tax roll. I purchased this property from Owen G. McDonald in October of 1968. I bought 200 feet of lakeshore property, cabin, and all personal property, and Dr. McDonald retained the adjacent 200 feet. When Dr. McDonald owned the property, the assessed valuation (1964 reevaluation) was $7,000 for the cabin, $1,800 for 100 feet of improved land, and $2,700 for 300 feet February__ 10, 1970 of unimproved land, a total of $11,500. My portion of the property was $7,000 for the cabin, $1,800 for improved land, and $900 for unimproved land, a total of $9,700. This year I received my 1969 tax bill for an assessed valuation of $15,69-0 although no changes have been made in the property since 1964. I did not receive a notice of the increase as required in Wisconsin Statutes, Section 70.365. The change in assess- ment is, therefore, illegal. My taxes should be based on the valuation in 1968 and should be $453.96 instead of $734.20 listed on my tax bill. A revised statement of calculation based on the 1968 valuation is attached. My 1969 taxes should be $280.24 less than on my statement. I shall pay half the tax listed on my present statement ($367.10)and await your action on my petition. The matter could be handled either by revising the second - half balance owed to-$86.86 or by refunding $280.24. I am appealing this statement of valuation and taxes not only because the pro- cedure followed was illegal, but because the assessment is grossly incorrect. I have discussed the matter with William Carter, Town of Iron River Assessor. He based his valuation of our cabin on the sale price as he was advised by the Rice Lake Office of the Bureau of Property Taxation. With a percentage adjustment he, in effect, subtracted the land value from the sale price and arrived at a completely unrealistic figure for the value of the cabin. He -was not advised that the cabin and grounds contained well over $5,000 worth of personal property nor was any consideration given to the fact that the convenience of obtaining a cabin completely outfitted entered into consideration when we bought the property. My time is worth money and not having to.shop for a single item increased the value somewhat. This is not, however, real property value, but personal property value. Mr. Carter has assurred me that he will back up my contention that the assessment was illegal and will reassess the property fairly in 1970. cc: George Moniza Very truly yours, William Carter Roland P.
