No. 3 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.

Hayward, Wisconsin 54843 November,5, 1974 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 Moved by Seidel, seconded by Spears to -refer the matter to the Forestry Committee with power to act. Motion carried.

It is unfortunate that I did not receive permission to appear personally before your board at an earlier date, but this was only granted to me at our last CAP board meeting of October 29th. Realizing all 4 county boards in my area will be meeting on November 12, a personal appear- ance at each --is impossible. I am enclosing copies of our past 3 months reports. This shows the amount of the grant, (2nd year continuation of a 5 year grant from ACTION) $29,567 of which $23,,505 is federal funds and $6,052 matching in -kind or in -crash. 3?2 November 12. 1974 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 616 W. 2nd St. Ashland, Wis. 54806 (Copies of reports on file in the county clerk's office.)

The following communication was read: No. 26 Mary Tone - Box 103 'Ashland, WI 54806 Oct. 14, 1974 Mr. Wallace Johnson, Chairman Executive Committee Bayfld County Board 212 Second St. West 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 BICENTENNIAL COMMITTEE Moved by W. Johnson, seconded by Rude to receive and place on file.

Box 697 Rhinelander, WI 5450.1 November 1, 1974 Mr. Clifford Hoagland, Chairman Bayfield County Sheriff's Committee 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, Ralph J.

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Stephen Barry Ernest Heglund Edwin Erickson Bennie Rude 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.

The matter of re-classifying Delores Jackson and Beatrice Kelly, employees in the Extension Office was again discussed. A resolution was presented to the County Board at the April meeting referring the request to re-classify the above named employees to the Personnel Committee with power to act. The Personnel Committee did consider the request at their meeting on November 8 and there now seemed to be some difference of opinion whether the committee at the November 8th meeting actually approved the request to re-elasgify or approved of the matter being brought to the County Board for final action. The committee appeared to be in favor of allowing the County Board to take final action and the following action was taken. MOTION NO. 78 Moved by Meierotto, seconded by Heglund that the re-classification of Delores Jackson and Beatrice Kelly from Extension Stenographers to Extension Secretaries be approved.

Motion carried. The 1975'Propos'ed Bayfield County budget was next presented to the Board: No. 80 370 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. 7- 9 November 13, 1974 EXPENDITURES I Acct. 1974 Recommended -No:- GENERAL GOVERNMENT Appropriation for 197S Revised 51101 County Board $ 11,500.00 $ 15,650.00 j 51103 County.Clerk 25,170.00 31,230.00 511104 County Treasurer - FRS $ 17,840.00) 51104 County Treasurer - Other 17,020.00 none ) 17,840.00 S1110 Elections 10,000.00 2,245.00 31120 Court House 25,000.00 27,400.00 S1122 Special Accounting 5,7S0.00 6,840.00 j 51128 Property & Liability Insurance 2,500.00 1,7S0.00 f 1 51201 Workmen's Compensation 2,500.00 1,300.00 51203 Retirement Fund (County's Share) 38,000.00 56,000.00 51204 Social Security Fund (Co.
