The Highway Jursidictional Study was presented to the County Board by William Wambach,
Allen Renz and Don Wilson, representing District 8, Wise. Dept. of Transportation, Division
of Highways.
Slides of the proposed highway system for Bayfield County were shown by Allen Renz. Mr.
Renz informed the Board that it is proposed to have five separate classifications of highways,
principal and minor arterials, major and minor collection colle:tor roads, and local roads.
v
The arterials would be part of the.State and Federal system and the collector roads would be
part of the County highway system. The major collector roads would be eligible for FAS aids.
It was further pointed out that the study group was recommending the following changes
in the highway jurisdictions in the County: STH 11137" would revert to a County highway;
CTH "B" from the junction of FF north to CTH "H11 in Douglas County would revert to a town
road; CTH's ".I" and "J" located near Bayfield would also revert to town roads. A town. road
from Drummond to Delta would be added to the CT system. CTH "K" in the Town of Russell
would become part of STH "13" and that part of STH"113" between the two intersections with
Highway "K" would revert back to a town road. Forest Road T1236t1 from Ino to CTH "C" would
become part of the CTH system. Rittenhouse Street in the City of Bayfield would also be
added to the CTH system. A town road in'the Town of Barnes known as the Pease Road and CTH
"A" from the intersection with "N" north to STH "13" would become part of the STH system.
Objection was voiced by members of the Board to change the classification of CTH "13"
from the easterly intersection with 11K11 to the westerly intersection with "K" to a Town Road.
It was pointed out that that portion would still receive much heavy traffic and it would be
difficult fortthe town to keep the road in repair.
RESOLUTION NO. 4 IS FOUND ON PAGE 331
MOTION NO. 4a
Moved by Berweger, seconded by Erickson to amend the resolution to read "that the portion
of Highway "13" from the east junction of CTH 'TKtt to the west junction of CTH "K" be shown

Mr. Edward Pajala
County Clerk - Bayfield County
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Mr. Pajala:
Re: SW A SW 4 of Section 18, Tnp. 43 North, Range 9 West
I suppose it is inevitable considering the amount of lands that we have dealt in through the
years that we might slip once in awhile on something and awhile ago my attention was called
to the fact that I still have an undivided one-half interest in the above 40, the other
undivided one-half interest being owned by Bayfield County.
Our research indicates that we purchased this a long time ago along with some other property
and apparently we have overlooked this undivided one-half and for many years it was not on
the tax roll but now for the last couple of years it has been on the tax roll.
I recently had my title insurance agent verify the situation and I am anxious now to make
some disposition of the land one way or another and I would be open to any suggestions. For
example since this is virtually surrounded by Bayfield County Forest Crop land perhaps it
would be appropriate to negotiate an exchange whereby I deeded my interest to Bayfield County
and in return received equivalent value in someother land that Bayfield County does not wish
to retain.
I am leaving on vacation for a few weeks and there is no hurry anyway but you might wish
to have your County Forester examine the 'land if he is not already familiar with it and come
up with a value and then write me your suggestions on the disposition. I will either agreeable
to purchasing your undivided one-half interest or selling my undivided one=half interest.
I will look forward to hearing from you by the end of November when I return.
Sincerely,
Perry A. Risberg

We are finding a way to raise acceptable - in -kind needs, but have a mandate to raise $1500 cash wi
in the 4 counties we serve.
Presently we have 14 volunteers in the Iron River area and will be signing up several in the
Cornucopia area with the able assistance of Mr. Steve -Brace.
I have talked with Mr. Stolle of the nutrition program and he said I could assist his program
in the Oulu, Herbster, Port Wing and Cornucopia area. With our very fine insurance coverage
for Volunteers I think you would be pleased with having RSVP a part of your county.
A pro -rated request according to population is $350 for Bayfield County.
I think my personal track record for working with and for the elderly population is becoming
very well known and I hope to expand in continuing to assist in getting more funds.into this
area for their needs.
Any assistance your board may grant will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Nellie Heffner, RSVP Director

Mr. Wallace Johnson, Chairman

Ashland, WI 54806
Dear Mr. Johnson:
I have been asked to head a committee to recommend a project of lasting value to celebrate the
Bicentennial in our area. I live in Barksdale but work in Ashland so presumably can be'area
minded.'
The consensus is that a documentary film showing the history, topography, the social, cultural
i
and commercial development of this area would be feasable within the financial resources available.
A by-product of the film would be 2 books (one adult, one juvenile), filmstrips, and pictorial
representation of the region. These by-products as well,as-the film can be used by -educational,
cultural and industrial agents to promote the area.
7
Additional funds will be requested from three commissions in Madison interested in such a project
and willing to spend funds in the northern part of the state.
THE PROPOSAL: that Ashland and Bayfield Counties each appropriate $5000 over a 2-year period
to help finance this project.
I have spoken to the Finance Committee of the Ashland County Board, and they will recommend the
adoption of this proposal to the County Board.
I am now asking that the Executive Committee of the Bayfield County Board consider this proposal
and its recommendation to the Bayfield County Board.
Should the 2 county boards accept the idea, then a detailed proposal will be written. If the
committee is informed in time by the Executive Committee as to its action, such a written
proposal can be made available to the county board at its budget hearings, or a•member of our
committee will appear to explain the project.
Yours,truly,
Mary Tome

Mr. Clifford Hoagland, Chairman

Port Wing, WI 54865
Dear Mr. Hoagland:
On Wednesday, October 30, 1974 the anticipated needs for a Bayfield County Law Enforcement
facility and Jail were reviewed with Sheriff Rudy Frechette. The meeting was most fruitful,
resulting in recommendations relating to office areas, jail capacity, ancillary areas and
proper relationships of such areas.
For your information, the jail capacity suggested is as follows:
l.- Four cell maximum security section for mmle adults
2.- Two cell sections for juveniles or female adults
2 - Receiving cells
1 - Six capacity dormitory for work release and trustees
Total capacity would be sixteen (16).
November 12. 1974
It appears at this time that the next step to be taken by the appropriate County officials would
be to review the suggested plans which Sheriff Frechette will have available. If approved by i
County officials, a request to the County Board to authorize the engaging of an architect to pre-
pare preliminary schematics and provide cost estimates would be undertaken.
In the interim, if I can be of further assistance, -please be assured of my availability.
Sincerely,

WHEREAS, the joint committee is of the opinion that a jail with a total capacity of sixteen

Dear Board Members:
Is the County Board considering changing the law in regard to trailer parks or campgrounds

Moved by Hoagland, seconded by Erickson to adopt.
C. E. Hoagland
John Skulan, together with Rose Hovey and Louis Stolle representing the Bayfield County
Non -union employees, appeared before the Board.
Mr. Skulan read to the Board the following prepared statement:
Members of the Board, we have come before you out of deep concern for the future welfare of
the non -union employees of Bayfield County.
There is no doubt in our mind that all those here are well aware of the inflationary problem
facing us and we are sure the word inflation has been brought up more than once during the course
of this meeting.
November 13, 1974
As it stands we must rely soley on.our merits, and the good judgement and common sense
of this group to provide us with a salary so as to keep us in the actual realm of our present
times. The increase which was granted us last year by a State study group had no built-in
protection against runaway inflation as which has occured in 1974. Therefore, the wage
increase was nearly outdated before it was even presented in March, making manyo,of us rely
on past reserves,,loans, or have other members of our families seek employment to carry us
through the times.
It is not our intent to put any blame upon this Board or any other Board for that matter,
as to the situation we are in. We only ask that our state of welfare be considered with con-
cern by each and every member present. -
It is felt by the majority of the non -union employees, as proven by this petition, that
$55..00 as suggested by the Personnel Committee is a.repetition of.last year as there is no
relief in sight for the easing of inflation, thus, jeopardizing our welfare even more and
unfortunately weccannot afford anymore.
As an added note we would like to state that the Court House Janitor in Iron County,
a neighboring County under the same pressures as we are, is presently as of this date receiving
a wage of $780.22 per month. The following are wages received by Administrators and heads
of departments in Bayfield County:
Treasurer - $700.00---$80.00 less than Iron County Janitor
V.A. Officer - $760.00,--- 20.00 less than Iron County Janitor
Sheriff - $820.00 JUST 40.00 more than Iron County Janitor

So to the members of this board we beseech that you give this matter, in paragraphs 1
and 2 of the petition, your undivided attention and act on them accordingly so that we may
be afforded a chance to re-establish ourselves once again.
We also ask that any decisions be brought to'a roll call vote in our presence.
We thank you for the opportunity to appear before you.
Respectfully submitted this 13th day of -November 1974.

November 13, 1974
PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1975
TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS
OF THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Gentlemen: -
The undersigned members of the Executive Committee of the Bayfield County Board of Super- I
i
visors hereby submit the proposed county budget for the year 1975, together with a report of
operations.
VALUATIONS
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has recommended a total county valuation of $
$156,310,950.00. This increased valuation will result in decreased state aids and regardless
of action on the part of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors, it is the amount the State
of Wisconsin will use in its determination of aids to the county and local school districts.
COUNTY LEVY
The legal county levy limit is 1/ of the total valuation; an additional levy for debt
retirement and other specified items may be made in addition to) the 1/ limit. The maximum levy
would provide $1gr563,109.50 in taxes which is $1,291,184.48 more than the proposed levy of
$261,924.52, which is -substantially lower than the $492,102.04 levied for the 1973 budget and
only $2,491.39-higher than the 1973 tax levied for the 1974 budget. Again in 1975 the continued j
reduction in levy can largely be attributed to Federal Revenue Sharing funds received by the
county and surplus cash which can be applied to the 1975 budget.
HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
Many of the State programs administered by the Bayfield County Department of Social Services
previously funded on a percentage basis with the county are now paid entirely from state and
federal monies. -This provides further tax relief to the county property taxpayer. This
funding which began in 1974 now includes AFDC (aid to families with dependent children) as well
as the other catagorical aids,of Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Blind, Aid to the Disabled and
Medical Assistance programs.
The Bayfield County Rest Home continues to be operated at full capacity of 30-32 patients.
At the present time there are 5 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 $18.76 per patient day will be received by the home in 1975.
These rates are subject to periodic adjustment.
Effective January 1, 1974 the Unified Services Board (51.42) became operational. This board
which included members from Ashland, Iron, Price as well as Bayfield County is charged with
funding programs in the areas of mental health, developmental disabilities and chemical dependency
(alcohol and drugs). In October, this board voted to take over the responsibility of operating
the North Central Guidance Clinic which also provides services to the four county area. The
committee has included an amount of $40,000.00 in the proposed budget for expanded services
of the Unified Services Board during the year 1975, although the State of Wisconsin is committed
to a 100% level of funding for the basic services to be provided in this area.
The Tri-County Sanatorium is still operating at below capacity. The per capita cost of
approximately $47.00 per day is still below the cost of care in general hospitals.
The Home Health Nursing Service is expected to continue at about the samelevel as in 1974.
No,vemb.e.r 13.... ....... .____._.__
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES
$20,000.00 of Federal Revenue,Sharing Funds has been appropriated for the purchase.of
a new Hi -Ban:! Radio System to replace the present Low-Bani'system which does not provide
adequate communication in this large county. A request has been made in the budget for an
appropriation of $168.,000.00 to be used as follows: $18,000.00 for repairs on Highway
Department buildings; $50,000.00 for the purchase of machinery, in particular four new
patrol trucks which will replace the 1966 models which now have many miles on them;
$100,000.00 will be used for an FAS project on CTH "A" to be built in 1976. For this project
Federal Funds are available in the amount of $175,000.00. Also included in the budget are two
County Bridge Aid projects for the Town of Oulu at a cost of $2,540.25.
INDEBTEDNESS
The only county indebtedness continues to be the Bayfield County 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 board.
FINANCE
Major factors in the continued accumulation of surplus'cash for the county have been
increases in revenue from timber sales,.high prices on sale of county tax title lands offered
for sale and interest on investments.
The Emergency Employment Act is expected to continue in operation until March 30, 1975.
Several municipalities are continuing to participate in this program.
Federal Revenue Sharing receipts from the period beginning July 1, 1973 and ending June
30, 1974 in the amount of $221,735.00 have been applied against various departmental budgets.
The anticipated additional Revenue Sharing Funds are being held in reserve to offset
1976 budget items.
Purchase of the 1970, '71, '72 and '73 local taxing district equities of the delinquent
taxes, by the county, has been completed pursuant to a resolution adopted by the County Board
in November 1973.
AUDIT
The 1973 Audit Report, submitted by John Maitland, C.P.A., has been completed on schedule.
Copies are available for your inspection at the office of the County Clerk or from any
Executive Committee member.
We.recommend acceptance of the auditor's proposal to audit the 1974 county records.
The Executive Committee is pleased.to present this proposed 1975 Bayfield County Budget
proposal for your consideration with a very minimum increase in tax levy of less than $3,000.00
and including $100,000.00 of surplus cash into a special building account. Conservative bud-
geting of previous years has had a large impact in making this possible. We recommend the
approval of the 1975 budget as presented.
