The following Communication was read: No. 6 State of Wisconsin Department of Health & Social Services September 7, 1971 Mr. Walter C. Barningham, Chairman Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Bayfield,.Wisconsin 54814 Dear Sir: In accordance with the provisions of Section 46.17(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the Bayfield County jail was inspected on September 1, 1971. - - September 27, - 1971---- - -- -- I had hoped that the remodeling recommended and agreed upon could have been completed by this date so that complete inspection would have warranted. A --,great deal of time and energy could have been eliminated if the designer of the plumbing project would have waited for the official approval, which is necessary. I was sorry to find on this date that work has been halted since my last visit. The entire facility was as clean and orderly as the conditions would permit. The required jail records were neat, complete and up to date. The adult records to date shows an increase of 20% in detention over the same period for 1970. The addition of the dishwasher will prove to be a continuing contribution to better sanitation. If you are going to obtain additional communication equipment it would be well to evaluate your present office space so as to provide better security, better office area and increased privacy. The addition of the room in the living quarters ad- jacent to the jail would provide greatly needed office space. I would be happy to meet with a committee to evaluate the process if they feel that they would have something in line of suggestions to contribute. Please convey my appreciation to Sheriff Embertson's Staff for the courtesies and time extended to me during this visit. Very truly yours, Alvin T. Nygaard, Detention Supervisor Division of Corrections Moved by Johnson, and seconded by Nelson that the foregoing communication be received and placed on file. Motion carried.

The time•between advertising for bids and opening of bids could be extended to allow all prospective purchasers the oppor- tunity to investigate the proposal and do preliminary planning, therefore, it is further recommended that the sale of lands and its special requirements be done on a broad basis. One possibility would be through the Wall Street Journal. It is further recommended that all, or a portion, of the net proceeds of any ,t withdrawn County Forest Lands be entered into a special non -lapsing fund. This fund is to be used for the acquisition of lands inside the present boundaries of County Forest Lands as they become available. It is understood that the County Board retains the right to rescind its action on a withdrawal resolution up to the time of final action by the Department of Nat- ural Resources.
