To the Honorable County Board of Supervisors
Bayfield County, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
I herewith submit my application for the position of Bayfield County Highway
Commissioner.
I was appointed in July 1973, by the Highway Committee to fill the vacancy created
by the resignation of Mr. Brevak, and on July 18, 1973, received your vote,of con-
fidence.
I wis�i at this time to once again request your support by extending to me your
approval of my appointment as Bayfield County Highway Commissioner.
Very truly yours,
Lawrence C. Young
Nov. 5, 1973
Dear Sir,
I understand the position of County Highway Commissioner is up for reappointment
at this time. I would like to apply for that position.
My name is Walter Pease, I am 37 years old and I live in the town of Barnes, where
I have resided all my life. I am married and have 5 children ranging from 8 months
to 18 years of age.'
I have been employed by the town of Barnes for the past 15 years as grader operator
and road foreman. During the past years, I have had considerable experience in
laying out roads, constructing roads, finish blacktopping, and shouldering of roads,
maintenance and snowplowing, sanding of all types of highways. I have valuable ex-
perience with dump trucks and end loaders and shoulder mowing.
of
The town of Barnes has 150 miles of roads/which 36 miles are black$opped. The town
of Barnes has more roads than any other township in Bayfield County and I'm sure
some of the best roads.
I am presently serving my 6th year on the Drummond School Board. I am in my 4th year
as Fire Chief of the Barnes Fire Dept. and head of the ambulance service provided by
the town of Barnes. I am on the Bayfield County Emergency Medical Service Council
and am a representative on the area -wide E.M.S. Council which consists of 8 counties.
I feel my past experience. and this public exposure qualifies me to fulfill the pos-
ition of Bayfield County.Highway Commissioner.
Very truly yours,
Walter Pease

Chambers Fifteenth Judicial Circuit
Ashland, Wis.
September 25, 1973
Mr. Edward A. Pajala
County Clerk
Courthouse
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Mr. Pajala:
I am enclosing herewith a resolution which I ask that you please present to
the Finance Committee of the Bayfield County Board. You may advise the Finance
Committee that a duplicate of this resolution has already been adopted by the Board
of Supervisors of Ashland County. For the information of the committee, all 52
Circuit Judges of the State of Wisconsin, except myself and Judge Allen Kinney of
the Eleventh Circuit, receive additional salary from the counties of their respective
circuits. Some of the counties, the wealthier ones of course, contribute to their
Circuit Judge or Judges over $6,000 per year.
200
Nov. 13, 1973
I might add that I have been the Circuit Judge for the Fifteenth Judicial Cir-
cuit for just short of 22 years. To try a jury case costs •the county, just for
jurors' fees, on the opening day of trial about $500; and for each day thereafter
about $300. Almost all of the cases on my jury calendar in Bayfield County have
been settled before a jury trial became necessary, thus saving the county over the
years many thousands of dollars. In each settlement, I believe, my efforts have
been the principal factor. With respect to this the committee may make inquiry, if
they desire, of the Clerk of Courts, Mrs. Lois Arntsen.
Whether the enclosed resolution be adopted or not by your County Board, I would
appreciate your advice with respect to such action as may be taken thereon.
Fours very Truly,
Lewis J. Charles
Circuit Judge
Moved by W. Johnson and seconded by Mammoser to receive the foregoing and place
on file. Motion carried.
The following resolution was read: No. 32
BE IT RESOLVED, by the County Board of Supervisors of Bayfield County, Wisconsin,
that out of the General Funds of Bayfield County there be paid to Lewis J. Charles,
Circuit Judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit, of which Bayfield County is a con-
stituent part, pursuant to the
provisions of Sec. 252.071, Wis. Stats., the sum of
Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars
per year, commencing January 1, 1974, said sum to be
paid at the rate of $41.67 per
month at the end of each calendar month;
CJ
PROVIDED, however, that this
resolution shall become operative, and the payments
above set forth be made, only
in case identical resolutions be adopted by the County
4
Boards of Ashland County, Iron
County, Price County and Taylor County. Should like
resolutions be not adopted by
all of the counties comprising the Fifteenth Judicial
j Circuit on or before the 31st
day of December, 1973, then and in that case this res-
olution shall become void and
of no effect.
Dated this 13th day of November,

November 2, 1973
To the Members of -the Bayfield County Board
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
Earlier this fall I appeared at your special meeting and told you that the Bayfield
County Historical Society was becoming organized as an affiliate of the Wisconsin
Historical Society. I outlined benefits to individuals and the whole county which
might come through the projected functions of the new group. In turn, you gave the
organizing group needed encouragement through a vote of support.
To reassure the members of the County Board of the intent of our organization, let
me quote the opening words in the preliminary draft of the constitution for the
Bayfield Historical Society:
"The business and purpose of the Corporation shall be exclusively
educational and specifically shall be" ... There follows an enumeration
which can be summarized as resurrecting and perpetuating the history
of Bayfield County. .
We propose to accomplish this aim through local chapters formed around common
community -interests. In effect, these will be working committees in the various -
sections of our large county. As an outgrowth of these localized "resurrection"
efforts, we foresee the development of an immensely valuable central resource -coll-
ection. This would be comprised to a large extent of information not now publicly
available. Some will come from personal letters and diaries, some from business
documents held in families, some from recollections not recorded to date, some in-
cidents will be shown in photographs in private albums, etc. Such a facility would'
eventually "perpetuate" for present and coming generations the total story of Bayfield
County from earliest known -times to the ever new present day. It should be both a
collective and distributive resource.
Our organization has prepared an estimated budget for 1974 which has been reviewed
by your budget committee. However, working funds to cover the necessary communication
expenses to evolve such a center as described are only part of the help needed by
the society.
Housing for an historical resource center would be logically situated in the County
Court IIouse at Washburn. We now ask that you specifically consider these physical
requirements. Which of these needs would the Bayfield County Board feel it could
meet for the above purposes of the Bayfield County Iistorical Society?
A. Room space 'somewhat equivalent to that opening off the right side of the
county board room and used formerly as chamber -for the judge (the society
would not need space every consecutive day, doubtless)
B. Heat, lighting, janitorial service
C. A desk with drawer space, a table, a minimum of two chairs, shelving or
some alternate immediate storage space
D. A fireprodf and dry storage area for safe preservation of valuable papers
and pictures, oral transcription, written information, even small artifacts
which might be loaned, donated or developed through efforts of the society
(such an area need not be adjacent to work space for the society nor
independent of other users)
E. It would be desirable to have a telephone installed, but the society has
placed this expense in its budget.
Respectfully,
L. M. Cowley, President
BAYFIELD COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Moved by W. Johnson and seconded by E. Johnson that the foregoing communication
be received and placed on file. Motion carried.
Moved by Justice to refer to the Executive Committee with power to act, seconded

orical Society and are presently being stored in the County Treasurer's vault.

Mr. Walter C. Barningham, Chairman
Bayfield County Board
Bayfield County Courthouse
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Dear Mr. Barningham:
You. will recall that the Department of Natural Resources, at the request of
the Bayfield County Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisors, recently com-
pleted an in-depth study of the Bibon Swamp -White River area. The study was intended
to produce a proposal for the future disposition of the area. The County was part-
icularly concerned about what to do with the County -owned lands within the area which
are increasingly being requested for sale.
As you will remember, several of us appeared before the Board last Fall at
which time we reported that upon completion of the study it was our recommendation
that it would be in the public interest for all public lands within the Bibon Swamp
White River area to remain in public ownership. We also suggested that a boundary
be established which would identify the area as a wildlife -fishery area and that
plans be made to preserve the area by enlarging the public ownership.
Subsequently, the County Board at its September 1972 meeting adopted a resolution
(#10) which recognized the Bibon Swamp -White River area as a unique natural area and
deferred sales of County lands within the proposed boundary. It was recognized that
this was an interim agreement until such time that the question of a boundary and
other details could be settled with the several towns involved.
I'm pleased to report that the DNR has completed its round of meetings with
the towns which would have lands within the boundary of the project. Those towns
are Grandview, Delta, Mason and Lincoln. The opinion that was expressed by the towns
is that the area is indeed a unique natural resource and that it should be protected
and preserved. The towns, however, have varying views as to which public agency
should control the public ownership which would ensure the area's preservation.
We do feel that some compromise solution for public land ownership can be re-
solved. It appears at this time that the most popular approach may be a long-term
lease or perhaps "special entry" under the Forest Crop Law of lands now in public
ownership. The private lands within the boundary could then be acquired by the DNR
from willing sellers under a long range acquisition program.
We would very much appreciate an opportunity to meet with the Soil and Water
Conservation District Supervisors and the Conservation Committee to discuss our
meeting with the towns and to work toward a project proposal which would be acceptable
to the Board of Supervisors.
The County Board's interest in the project and the Town's enthusiasm have been
most encouraging. We will look forward to meeting with you on whatever date is con-
venient for you and the other gentlemen.
Very truly yours,
Division of Forestry, Wildlife & Rec.

TOWN OF IRON RIVER
September 13, 1973
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
c/o Mr. Ed Pajala, County Clerk
Courthouse
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
The Town Board of Iron River submitted a letter to you prior to your last
meeting requesting authorization to purchase Lot 5 Block 1 of the Original Plat of'
Iron River to be used for a public parking lot. This lot is 25 feet wide by 130 feet
long and is now owned by Bayf ield County.
The lots in Block 1 were originally laid out in an east and west direction. How-
ever, when Loberg's Subdivision was established, the first four lots were divided to
create lots running in a north and south direction thereby causing Lot 5 to abutt
the north end of these commercial lots. Lot 5 has been used as an unofficial alley for
many years.
U.S..Highway 2 was resurfaced by the State Dept. of Transportation last summer.
Because the blacktopping was extended from curb to curb the highway appears to be
wider than in the past but in reality it is a few feet more narrow.
Unrestricted parking on the north and south side of the highway has created a
traffic hazard at two intersections in the township by parked vehicles obscuring the
view of approaching traffic on the Federal highway. There has already been one
accident at the intersection of Main St. and. U.S. Hwy. 2.
The Town Board decided that for the safety of those crossing this highway, it
was necessary to restrict parking of any vehicles within 75 feet of the intersection
on both the north and south sides.
Two years ago the state department required the Town Board to restrict parking
within 50 feet of this corner on the east and west sides of Main Street before U.S.
Highway 2_was resurfaced and the curb and.gutters installed.
Six business establishments face Highway 2 within this block. By having no
parking for 75 feet at the west end of the block and the allocated four feet on
either side of the alley plus the 10 feet for a fire ,hydrant or the 15 feet to the
near limits of a crosswalk, parking space to serve these businesses will be limited.
Therefore, the Town Board requested the County Board consider selling Lot 5 in Block'l
to the Town for- a parking 'lot.
Also, access to the rear of four of the above mentioned businesses is across
this lot. Any individual who purchases this land will have the right to deny access
to the rear of these four business places.
If this lot is.purchased by the Township, it then becomes public property and
allows ingress and egress rights to the rear of these businesses as well as providing
M
public parking off U.S. Highway 2.
Nov. 13, 1973
The Town Board is attempting to act in the interest of public safety and still
provide easy access to the business establishments affected.
Very truly yours,
Virginia Kucera, Chairman

are advantageous to the interests of county veterans; and to use Grant to give Vet-
erans Service Officer a comparable salary as other employees receive; and
WHEREAS, applications for this Grant will not cause any added financial burden
on the county, but rather will produce a net financial gain; and
WHEREAS, participation by counties in the State Grant and its accompanying
standards is on a year to year basis wherein a county can drop out at the end of any
year if it is no longer advantageous to participate;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Bayfield County will apply for the State Veterans

County Board of Supervisors
Personnel Committee
Gentlemen:
The employees, department heads and officers of Bayfield County, through their -
Association and the undersigned members of their Committee, are presenting herewith
a resolution for a salary increase for the year 1974.
On October 11, 1973, the Association requested that a salary increase be granted
for the year 1974, pending the evaluation of the Bureau of Personnel. The reason for
this request, as we are all aware, is because of the accelerated rate of inflation
and the rise in the cost of living index. It was the Association's thought that the
evaluation might be delayed to such an extent that the employees would not receive
any effective benefit from such evaluation during the year 1974.
The Ashland County Board granted its employees an increase of 6.2/ and we are
asking for the same amount.
We trust that the Board will• give our request and resolution favorable consider-
ation by granting this minimal request.

WHEREAS, Paragraph number 8 of said request, petitioned the Board for a salary
increase pending the reclassification and evaluation program to be undertaken by the
State Bureau of Personnel for the County, and
WHEREAS, Such a salary increase, if granted for the year 1974, would be considered
by the aforesaid State agency when such evaluation was made, and
WHEREAS, 6.2 percent if the maximum allowable salary increase under Federal guide-
lines, now therefore be it

The following Proposed Budget for the Year 1974 was read: No. 86
TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Executive Committee, of the Bayfield County
Board, hereby submit the proposed 'county budget for the year 1974, together with a
report of operations.
VALUATION
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue recommends a total county valuation of
$128,806,500. Although we are not in total agreement with the Department of Revenue
in regard to the recommended valuation, we do recommend acceptance of the proposed
valuation. The increased valuation results in decreased state aids, which does in-
crease the county levy.
COUNTY LEVY
The legal county levy limit is 1% of the total valuation; an additional levy for
debt retirement and other specified items can be.made in addition to the 1/ limit.
The maximum levy would provide $1,288,065.00, which would be $1,028,631.87 more than
the proposed levy of $259,433.13. The 1972 levy was $494,102.04. The decrease in
the 1973 levy is primarily attributed to Federal Revenue Sharing funds received by the
county - other revenues in excess of the anticipated amounts results in a cash surplus
which can be applied against the 1974 budget. Payment of most categorical aids by the
state instead of the county is also a factor in the decreased levy.
HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES
Old Age Assistance grants, Aid to the Blind, Aid to the Totally Disabled and
Medical Assistance will be paid directly by the State in 1974. A nominal amount is
recommended to be included in the budget for medical assistance to allow for payment
for services provided, but not paid for, in_._1973.
The County Rest Home continues to be operated at full capacity of 30 - 32 patients.
There are at the present time 4 private pay patients in the home. Private pay patients
are charged the actual per capita cost of operation. According to information now
available, Medical Assistance payments amounting to $12.16 per patient day will be
received by the home in 1974. The difference between that amount and the per capita
cost of $17.75 will be absorbed by the county. The rates are subject to periodic ad
justment. An appeal will be made to the state to increase the Medical Assistance payment.
Nov. 14., 1973
The Counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Iron & Price are expected to participate in
the newly formed North Central Community Mental Health Center in 1974. The organiza-
tion replaces the North Central Guidance Clinic.
According to information available at the time of preparation of this budget, it
appears that the county's share of the cost of care of mental patients in outside in-
stitions, now being paid as a state special charge, may be paid through the North
Central Community Mental Health Center in 1974, on a current basis. This may result
in an additional cost not provided for in this budget and may require an adjustment
when more information is available.
Adoption of a separate ordinance providing for an Ashland-Bayfield County Devel-
opmental Disabilities Board is recommended. The new organization will provide for the
development of services for the mentally retarded and persons with other developmental
disabilities.
The Tri-County Sanatorium is operating at below capacity. The Board of Trustees,
together with the Joint Finance Committees of the three counties is still exploring
the possibility -of some type of dual use of the institution to reduce operating cost.
The per capita cost of approximately $35.00 per day is still far below the cost of
care in general hospitals or the per capita cost of other sanatoriums in the state.
The Home Health Nursing Service is expected to continue at about the same level
as in 1972.
HIGHWAYS & BRIDGES
$1361800-.00 of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds and the building fund have been
applied toward highway equipment purchases. Highway Department Building construction
and some minor highway construction, consequently, only an amount of $17,451.43 for
county aid bridge construction is included for highways in this budget.
INDEBTEDNESS
The only county indebtedness continues to be the Memorial Hospital Bond issue.
Annual principal and interest payments are included in this budget. The amount is
offset in the revenue section by an equal payment by the hospital.
FINANCE
Increases in revenues from timber sales, profit on sales of tax title lands and
interest on investments have again been major factors in accumulation of surplus cash
for the county.
The Emergency Employment Act is expected to continue in operation until June 30,
1974. Several municipalities are continuing to participate in the program.
A total of $194,651.00 of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds has been applied against
several departmental budgets to reduce the total operating cost. In addition to the
above amount, $135,095.00 of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds has been used or committed
for various outlay items as previously authorized by -the Board. Due to the application
of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds to reduce the county levy, the committee is recommend-
ing that only $140,000.00 of.surplus cash be applied toward reduction of the levy.
By separate resolution, the committee is proposing that the County Treasurer pur-
chase in 1973 all of the local taxing districts equities of the excess delinquent taxes
for the years 19701 1971 and 1972. It will also be recommended that the excess delin-
quent tax equities of the taxing districts for the 1973 tax be purchased by the county
F2)' C�_ P?
Nov. 14- 1973
in the fall of 1974. The estimated initial cost to the county is expected to be
approximately $260,000.00. These monies will be returned to the county as delinquent
tax payments are received.
As requested by the Personnel Committee, a sum sufficient, has been included in
the contingency fund to finance future wage increases to non -represented county em-
ployees. A wage and job classification study by the State Bureau of Personnel is
now underway.
The Executive Committee is,recommending that $50,000.00 of surplus cash be set
aside in a special building account.
AUDIT
The 1972 Audit Report has been. completed on schedule. Copi-es are available for
your inspection at the office of the County Clerk or from any Executive Committee
member.
Acceptance of the auditor's proposal to audit the 1973 county records is recommend-
ed by your Executive Committee.
The 1972 audit report, submitted by John Maitland, C.P.A., together with his de-
tailed explanation of the audit and general fiscal condition of the county, the
statement of expenditures and revenues through October 1,1973 prepared by the County
Clerk and the assistance and cooperation of other county officials and county board
members has been of great value to the committee in preparation of this 1974 Bayfield
County Budget.
With pride we present this budget with the lowest county levy since 1955 to you
for consideration and strongly recommend the approval of it as presented.
