MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
BAYFIELD COUNTY JURISDICTIONAL HIGHWAY PLANNING STUDY
This agreement is made and entered into this 20th day of April, 1971 by and
between the Highway Commission for the State of Wisconsin, Department of Transpor-
tation? Division of Highway, hereinafter called the State, and the County Board of
Supervisors of Bayfield County, hereinafter called the County.
BECAUSE there is a recognized need in Bayfield County to study and perhaps
alter the present jurisdictional systems, and
BECAUSE the County Highway Committee has recognized this and has passed a
motion requesting this study (motion passed unanimously at meeting of March 10, 1971),
and
BECAUSE the State and its Division of Planning have some knowledge and exper-
ience concerning the organization, procedures, criteria and methods by which such a
study should be accomplished by virtue of their involvement in previous or contem-
plated studies of this type', and
BECAUSE it is the desire of both the County and the State to accomplish as
thorough and complete a study as possible considering the information and data
available, and
BECAUSE it is the desire of the County and the State to cooperate throughout
this study so that study results are acceptable to all concerned.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT AGREED that the County Board of Supervisors through their
County Highway Commissioner and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Division
of Highways and Division of Planning, do hereby intend to accomplish a study of all
street and highway systems within the County of Bayfield to accomplish the followings
1. Develop a -functional classification of all roads in Bayfield County. It is
intended to base this upon the existing State Highway Plan criteria and
definitions for the State Highway Plan arterial class of highways, but also
to modify, refine and strengthen the definitions, criteria and designations
of all roads in or below the State Highway Plan collector category. This
includes refining and strengthening the functional classification of all
streets in urban areas.
2. Based upon the function a particular roadway segment serves, to assign
responsibility (jurisdiction) to the level of government having the largest
basic interest in the road.
3. To provide a basis for the efficient management and inter -governmental
coordination and to avoid conflicts over administration, finance, determination
of priorities and standards of improvement.
4. To integrate highway systems into complete systems bringing together in each
system those highways which should be under the same jurisdiction because of
the type and the demand of service expected from the facility.
April 201 1971
5. Subsequent to the assignment of jurisdiction, a financial plan will be deve-
loped to provide for equitable distribution of highway costs according to
service rendered, to establish long-range fiscal policy and to provide for
systematic planning.
6. To group together those highways requiring the same level of technical
competence for their design, construction, and operation.
It is the intent of the parties of this agreement to conclude this study such that
recommendations will be acceptable to all concerned parties. While responsibility lies
with the County Highway Commissioner who is delegated this responsibility by the Bay -
field County Board of Supervisors, it should be their intent to solicit and fully
consider the advice and recommendations of various local units of government during
the process of the study by the full and complete presentation, discussion, publication
or exposure of study findings.
It is further agreed that State incurred costs in this study will be paid for 85%
by the State and 15/ by the County; and that other costs incurred by the County are to
be paid for entirely by the County, with State incurred costs to be billed to the County
not to exceed $500.
