V 2 - May -4=--1971 - -- The following communication was read: No. 9 Cable, Wisconsin 54821 February 15, 19-71 Edward A. Pajala Bayfield County Clerk Washburn,, Wis. 54891 On Wednesday, Feb. 10, 1971, a meeting was called by the Southern Bayfield County School Board in which the Town and Village Chairmen were asked to be present, mainly to discuss the financial problems in the school district. The delinquent taxes which are due to the district I am told amounts to approximately $67,000. There::was..a�discussion:-by the chairmen and a couple of the County Board mem- bers suggesting that the County Board take action to pay these delinquent taxes to the school districts which would ease their problem somewhat. Then the question was raised by the County Clerk, where would the County get the monies from to pay these taxes other than putting it onto the tax roll. In my opinion, and I am sure that there are many other-l;people who share in same, this problem could be very easily resolved without any further taxation to any land owners of the entire Bayfield County, and here is the -solution. In reviewing the Plat Book, I find that Bayfield County is in the land business in a big way, having title to approximately 175,325 acres. Now let's assume that we base this acreage at $20. per acre which I am quite certain is a fair market value,.amounts to $3,506,500.00, that's right, better than three and one half million dollars. If the County Board will take action to put just a small part of these lands up for sale, let's say 10,000 acres which would net the County approximately $200,000.00, they could then very easily pick up the delinquent tax,tab-, and also retain a fund for this same purpose in future years. Here is a breakdown of the various acreages in the Townships, Russell - 10,334 Barnes - 17,032; Cable— 7,284; Bell - 14,862; Orienta-Port Wing - 22,254; Tripp - 7,301; Washburn-Bayfield and Bayview - 38,123; Clover - 5,050; Iron River - 6,998; Hughes - 34,579; Lincoln - 1,095; Delta - 440; Mason - 200; Kelly - 327; Namakagon - 76; Grand View - 7,351; Pilsen and Keystone - 826; Oulu - 240; the Islands - 670. -I trust that you will submit this letter to the County Board for review and that it may do some good in easing our school problem. Very truly yours, Marvin Fagg The Clerk reported on recent sales of County lands by sealed bid. Several comments were made by members of the Board in regard to County lands being offered for sale.

This hearing is being held to receive testi- mony on S-1290 known as the Nelson=Javits Bill to provide for the. continuation of programs authorized under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and for other purposes. Unless we are able to extend-OEO, the,Manpower Programs such as the Neighbor- hood Youth Corps, Job Corps, Mainstream, Green Thumb and Green bight programs will expire along with other OEO programs on June 30, 1971. We are making,.,.,. -the assumption that we have been asked to be the lead-off witness because Wisconsin Farmers Union has had several years of experience in sponsoring and operating a Neighborhood Youth Corps program over a broad geographic area of Wis%consin. In view of this request, I am asking that you provide me with certain specific, detailed backgroun&_1 information. I am interested in knowing the value attached by participating agencies to the Neighborhood Youth Corps program that we operate in the various communities. Do school boards, school administrators, municipal offi- cers feel, that the program has been beneficial to the community in addition to pro- viding work experience and financial aid to enrollees? If the program terminated, is there a way for the local communities to step in and provide the kind of help that the Neighborhood Youth Corps pioneered?

It is very important that you.respond immediately to Mr. Rohde's request, as per attached letter, for information about the N.Y.C. program in your community. A few issues that you can comment on are: 1. Should N.Y.C. be discontinued, continued, or expended. 2. Public opinion of N.Y.C. in your area. 3. Effectiveness of N.Y.(C.. in your area (Enrollee success stories, etc.). 4. Your opinion of Farmers Union's general over-all administration of the program; such as kind of,program service, amount of red tape, etc. Please forward these letters of information to this office or Mr. Rohde's office as soon as possible in order that Mr. R.'ohde can include them in his testimony at the hearing. -- - - -- -- May 4, _1971 An imm-ediate repay wi-11 be -very much appreciated..

Resolution BE IT RESOLVED By the Town Board of the Town of Barnes at its regular meeting April 12, 1971, that the following communication be forwarded to the Chairman of the Bayfield County Board: The Town Board of the Town of Barnes in a regular meeting April 12, 1971 votes "NO" to the adoption and passage of the proposed Comprehensive Amendment of the Bay - field County Zoning Ordinance dated April 12, 1971. A large.number of property owners are absent during the winter and early spring months. The Town Board of the Town of Barnes feels a delay in passage of this ord- inance will give many of these property owners and voters an opportunity to study this ordinance. We have no major fault with the ordinance as a whole and do appreciate the fine work of the committee and particularly Mr. Lattimer. Possibly a joint meeting with the other towns in Bayfield County would allow the voters and property owners a chance to voice their opinions. This could be done in a few joint meetings and should not work an undue hardship on the Zoning Committee. Roy T.
