June 6-, 19 72_ _
Wallace Johnson, Chairman of the Reapportionment Committee, was given the floor and
he informed the Board about the various reapportionment plans that have been considered
by the Committee. He stated that the Committee had come to the conclusion that the 18
member - 10 district supervisory plan appeared to be the plan that might be most accept-
able to both the County Board and the Court. He stated that the one problem with the 18
member proposed plan was that the City of Bayfield and the Town of Russell were in the
same district and that they were not contiguous. He further stated, however, that the
District Attorney had discussed that problem with Judge Lewis J. Charles and it was the
District Attorney's opinion that if the plan was acceptable in regard to the one-man one
vote principal, it would not necessarily be rejected because of the City of Bayfield,
Town of Russell problem.
The District Attorney was also present and he stated that he was of the opinion
that it was not necessary to give notice of a special public hearing in regard to the
matter as such a hearing has already been held and the present meeting had been given -pub
licity in the press and it had been stated in the press that the public was invited to
attend. He did, however, suggest that it might be wise to set a specific time for later
in the day at which time the public would be allowed to be heard on the matter.
Moved by Rondeau, seconded by Moniza that the County Board adjourn at 1:30 PM and
conduct a public hearing at which time the public would be allowed to be heard in re-
gard to the various reapportionment plans. Motion carried.
The District Attorney suggest that the resolution be read so that the Board members
would all be familiar with it and that they could all discuss it during the noon hour
if they wished to do so. The clerk then read the proposed resolution in its entirety
as suggested by the District Attorney. No further action was taken.

TO: THE COUNTY BOARD OF BAYFIELD COUNTY
In 1969 I was the owner of an undivided one-half interest in some land in Section
26, Township 44 North, Range 6 West (Town of Grand View). This land was entered on the
tax assessment roll for 1969 as follows:
Tax roll page Description Sec. T. R.
54 Part of Govt. Lot 5, W. of
Co. D. 26 44 6
56 Govt. Lot 12' less Hwy'. 26 44 6
56 Lot 13, W. of Co. D. 26 --= 44 6
56 Parcel in Govt. Lot 11 as
described in Vol. 204 P. 521 26 44 .6
An objection was filed to the assessment for the year 1969 and after the Board of
Review overruled the objection, an appeal was taken to the Circuit Court. Honorable
Richard Bardwell, Circuitt;Judgeof Dane County heard the case and entered judgment
declaring the tax void. The Judge ordered the property reassessed on the 1970 roll for
the year 1969 along with the regular assessment for the year 1970, but this was not done.
June 6, 1972
As a result the judgment stands declaring the-1969 tax invalid, .but -it has not been
reassessed. I suggest that to clear the record, the County Board should declare the
tax illegal and cancel the tax certificates so that the assessor can put the property
on the current roll as omitted from the 1969 roll, complying with the spirit, if not
the letter of Judge Bardwell's decision. A copy of that judgment is attached hereto
and made a part hereof by reference.
Sincerely yours,
Robert W,. Norlin

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 May 9, 1972.
The jail registers were complete, correct and up to date. The necessary detention
forms for detained juveniles were on file as required. The kitchen was clean and
orderly. The menu for the day was adequate and ample.
The facility appears to be in a state of disarray and does not present a good appear-
ance on the first floor. The protective mesh for windows in the security section
will prevent damages that occur to windows as long as prisoners are permitted the,.use
Of the guard_corridors. The moving of the table in the former dining area, to the
upstairs dormitory and the removal of the old wooden cupboard previously used for
Fl
keeping prisoners._,,dishes, would help appearance a great deal. Mrs. Jacobson mentioned
that she was short on the proper coffee cups for prisoners. I have previously recom-
mended that some stainless steel kitchen dishes was available at the Central Ware-
house of the Wisconsin State Prison, Waupun, since the remodeling took place. I
contacted the Central Warehouse (phone 414-324-2691)' and learned that they are
presently out of stainless steel cups, but do have some stainless steel compartment
trays left. They may have some cups again in the near future. The trays are obtain-
able at 25'cents.per tray. A call.could be placed direct.to'the warehouse for details.
It is hoped that the jail remodeling process can be completed very soon.
Please convey my appreciation to Sheriff Embertson's staff for the time and courtesies
extended to me during this visit.
Very truly yours,

endorse the Northwest Areawide Comprehensive
Health Planning Organization as the areawide
comprehensive health planning agency for Bay -
field County.
Whereas, there now has been created an areawide comprehensive health planning

cluding Bayfield County.
Whereas, such areawide comprehehsive health planning agency will collect data,
conduct research and evaluate facts and information concerning the health problems,
needs, facilities, and services of the area, including the formation of a master plan
for improving health facilities and services and satisfying unmet needs; and to
foster coordination and cooperation among organizations, agencies, groups and indiv-
iduals, private and public, who are operative in health fields and to provide the means
for continuing exchange of information among them; and
Whereas, the work of the areawide comprehensive health planning agency will relate
very closely to the many health programs and services in which the County government
is engaged;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that Bayfield County recognizes and endorses The
Northwest Areawide Comprehensive Health Planning Organization as the organization which
should properly undertake to develop an areawide comprehensive health planning program
in this area.
