Gentlemen:
The Forestry Committee has requested that I present the enclosed communication
dated August 21, 1970, and signed by Jon E. Bratley, to your body for consideration
and further action.
Sincerely yours,
Wm. Hepner
Acting Bayfield County Forest Administrator

Bayfield County
Forestry Committee
Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Sirs:.
It has recently been brought to our attention that our fence includes nine
acres of Bayfield County Forestry Crop Land. See attached sheet for description
and map.
Since we feel this property was purchased by the Bratley's in good faith from
Congressman Peavey's estate in the 1930's and has since been maintained by us; that
the property is legally ours by adverse possession. This, of course, could only
be decided in court. It should also be noted here that Congressman,Peavey owned
this property and maintained the fence for quite some time before we purchased this
property. And at the time Bayfield County acquired this property, no mention was
made or has ever been made'to us that we were on County Land. However, we would
_ _ ___ September _10, 1970
rather the County consider (1) a trade or (2) the selling of nine acres. We realize
it is not standard policy to trade or sell Forest Crop Land, however, there are ex-
ceptions to every rule and we feel this is one of those exceptions. We suggest
trading our fifteen acres which are near the questionable acres for the County's
fifteen acres. (See page 2.) However, we are certainly open to any suggestions
and recommendations by the County as it is our sincere hope that this can be handled
in a manner satisfactory to both the County and the Bratley's. If you wish further
details or have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with us.
Thank you,
Jon E. Bratley
Moved by Rondeau that the foregoing communication be referred to the Forestry
Committee which will report back to the County Board; the motion was seconded by

Dear Mr. Tollander:
Due to an oversight, the Bayfield County Board did not appoint members of the
Northwestern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission at their April meeting as pro-
vided by the revised by-laws:•
The Board has; however, given the Executive Committee of the Board emergency
powers which they can use and take any action they deem necessary in'betweein Board
meetings. The Executive Committee, at a meeting held on May 18, 1970, appointed
William Celinsky, Port Wing, Wisconsin and George Malinoski, Washburn, Wisc. to.
serve as members on the Commission subject to confirmation by the County Board at
their next meeting.
Very truly yours,
Edward A. Paj ala
County Clerk
Moved by Rondeau and seconded by Olson that the appointment of William Celinsky
and George Malinoski as members of the Northwestern Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission be approved. Motion carried.

Gentlemen:
The Airport Commissioners,of Union Airport at Cable, Wisconsin, hereby request
the sum of $5,000.00 be placed in the budget of Bayfield County for the 1970-71 year
to help us meet'the needs of this airport and to purchase land for expansion planned
for 1971-72.
The plans now under consideration, calls for the E-W turf runway to be length-
ened to 4800' and paved -to accommodate the jet age coming in air travel. The en-
closed letter from the Division of Aeronautics advises us to purchase 29.8 acres
soy
September 10, 1970
of land owned by Tom Rondeau, Sr. which lies directly at the west end of the runway
and would be used for this proposed extension. We have an option to purchase this
property on or before January 31, 1971 for the price of $3000.00.
This is the only land purchase necessary to extend this runway, for we have
exchanged approximately 25 acres of airport property for 33 acres of land from Mr.
Tony Wise, which also lies in the path of this new proposed extension.
The four owning municipalities each contribute $500.00 each year towards the
upkeep of this airport which is located right in the midst of vast building expansion
now progressing in this end of your County. I need not remind, you this is.the area
Bayfield County will now have to rely on for the additional tax dollars with the
anticipated closing of the Du Pont Plant and the loss of their contribution in
revenue.
Also .enclosed is the treasurer's report of our expenditures for the past fiscal
year. It is evident that our request for $5,000.00 aid is realistic and urgent.
The Bayfield,County Highway Department has promised to seal coat the' N-S.
paved runway yet this summer so we shall have this added expense besides.those
shown on the treasurer's report.
We will appreciate your kind consideration on behalf of our request.
Very truly yours,
Dell V. Anderson, Secretary
Moved by Celinsky to refer the foregoing communication to the Executive Committee,

Dear Mr. Brevak:
This letter will acknowledge your communication of June 15, 1970, in reference
to the claim of Mrs. Ray Kyle for damages done to her automobile by virtue of an
alleged defect on Highway 2 occurring on May 21, 1970.
I have forwarded this claim to the County Clerk requesting that he notify our
insurance company and also that he present the claim to the next meeting of the
Executive Committee to determine what disposition should be made.
The acceptance of this claim for processing does not indicate acceptance of
the claim or acknowledge that the claim is made in proper form. In fact, there
may be some question about the form and manner in which the claim is presented and
the claimant may desire to check the law or consult an attorney as to the exact
requirements of making such a claim against a municipality.
September 10, 1970
A copy of this letter is being sent to the County Clerk with the claim itself
and a copy of the letter alone is being sent'.to Mrs. Kyle so she may be advised as
to the action presently being taken.
Very truly yours,
Robert N. Ledin
