OF ADMINISTRATION" TO: All Emergency Employment Act Sub -agents FROM: EEA Staff SUBJECT: Update on EEA Status As of July 1, 1972, Ken Nachreiner was appointed and assumed new duties in another State Department. We wish him the best in his new undertakings. Mr. Dave Pedro has replaced Mr. Nachreiner. Dave comes to the EEA program having formerly been director of the Public"Service Careers Program. Regarding the status of th=1973 EEA allocation, we are now in an extension period until September 15, 1972. The immediate future seems to indicate that further extension of funds is likely until the appropriation is passed by Congress. This means, of course, that funding of new requests is not possible at this point in time. However, all presently filled positions will remain funded, keeping in mind the "freeze" on any occuring vacancies. Hopefully, we will soon receive word from the Regional Office, at which time we will immediately contact -your office© Thank you for your excellent cooperation. And again we are happy to welcome Dave Pedro as the new.EEA Program Director. September 26, 1972 STATE OF WISCONSIN/DEPT. OF ADMINISTRATION TO:. EEA Subagents FROM: Denny Domach, Area Coordinator DATE: September 14, 1972 As of Monday, September 18', Mary Cirilli will be your new Emergency Employment Program area coordinator and may be contacted through the same telephone number and address. I am sure that you will have her full cooperation in the direction of the program. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the excellent cooperation that you have given to me when serving as your area coordinator. As of the 18th of September I will assume new duties as U.W. Extension Resource Agent for St. Croix County. You are most welcome to stop by at any time you may be in the area of Baldwin, Wisconsin. Again, it has been a pleasure serving you and thank you for your friendship. DD:vj STATE OF WISCONSIN/DEPT.-OF ADMINISTRATION TO: All EEA Section 5 and 6 Subagents FROM: Dave Pedro, EEA Program Director DATE: September 7, 1972 SUBJECT: Extension of current EEA grants Our office has been notified by the Regional Manpower Administration, Department of Labor, that all FY72 EEA grants will be extended for one month from the present termination date. This will mean that Section 5 grants will be extended from September 15 to October 15, 1972, and Section 6 grants from November 8 to December 8, 1972. The notification also included a continuation of the freeze on vacancies for the extension periods for both Sections 5 and 6. We have been assured that neither the above'mentioned extension nor the delays in making the FY73 appropriation will cause any lay-off of EEA participants. It does seem likely however, that there will be another extension of ter'October 15 and that the vacancy freeze, which has caused much hardship already, will continue in effect. We will keep you informed as we receive additional information. Moved by Moniza, seconded by A. Hanson that the foregoing communications -be received and placed on file. Motion carried.

Purchase, Wisconsin, Chequamegon GARCHER, Frances A. To: Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Courthouse Washburn, Wisconsin 54891 Gentlemen: This letter is to inform you that the Forest Service is in the process of purchasing the SZ of the SW4 of Section 21, and the W% of the NE4, and NW4 of Section 28, T. 44N., R6W., Town of Grand View, from Mrs. Frances A. Garcher of Grand View, Wisconsin. The property consists of 320 acres and contains a small 25 acre lake (Lake Ree). A house, garage, cottage and storage building-pumphouse are located on the property. The improvements on the property have good potential for use as auxiliary buildings for a Youth Conservation Corps summer camp. The small lake and relative location to potential work project sites on two Ranger Districts of the Chequamegon National Forest make the site highly desirable for use as a YCC camp. At this time the Forest Service does not have any plans to intensively develop the site for recreation. Future recreational development would most likely be limited to quiet and dispersed uses. If the board has any questions, or wishes to comment, please contact the District Ranger at Hayward. Sincerely yours, Richard C. Trochlil Lands Staff Officer Moved by Rondeau, seconded by Celinsky to oppose the sale proposed in the foregoing correspondence. Motion carried. The following communication was read: No. 21 STATE OF WISCONSIN/DEPT. OF NATURAL RESOURCES September 15, 1972 TO: All County Clerk and County Board Chairmen Recent legislation requires that a portion of the snowmobile registration fees collected by this department be set aside for law enforcement aids to counties. Counties which establish a snowmobile enforcement patrol for the express purpose of enforcing Chapter 350 of the Wisconsin statutes are eligible to participate in this program. The department is authorized to reimburse counties for up to 75 percent of the costs incurred. The appropriation of state aid for this purpose is limited, and if the total amount claimed exceeds the'appr.;opriation, payments must then be prorated. Thus, the the Department of Natural Resources cannot guarantee that your county will be reim- bursed on the full 75 percent basis.

Receipts from snowmobile registrations received after September.l, 1972, will be available for aids for projects to be initiated after February 1, 1973. Tentative Snowmobile Aid Program Guidelines have been reviewed by the Snow- mobile Recreational Council and approved by the Natural Resources Board for use until the guidelines can be included in the State Administrative Code.

The following communication was read: No. 24 WARTMAN & WARTMAN Attorneys at Law Ashland, Wis. 54806 September 19, 1972 Mr. Edward A. Pajala County Clerk Bayfield Co. �dmn. Bldg. Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Pajala: Enclosed please find photo -copy of title opinion we have received from Attorney Clarence V. Olson, representing the purchaser of the property subject to the opinion. You will note that in 1921 the sixth predecessor in title to our client, obtained a tax deed from Bayfield County. We believe that inadvertently, Bayfield County then took another tax deed in 1922. The property has been taxed and taxes have been paid on the property in question consistently since 1921. Property has been occupied by our client and her predecessors in title. We believe that this is merely a technical objection and are therefore re- questing a Quit Claim Deed from Bayfield County to clear title. We are certain, that in checking you will find that Bayfield County clearly makes no claim to this property. 631 September 26, 1972 - __ - - We are forwarding a copy of this letter together with a copy of the title opinion to Robert N. Ledin, Bayfield County District Attorney, so that he can review the matter and discuss it with you after you have had a chance to go over same. Very truly yours, WARTMAN & WARTMAN Richard F.
