Edward A. Pajala May 30, 1975
County Clerk
Bayfield County
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Mr. Pajala:
Thank you for your recent letters transmitting a copy of the resolution adopted unanimously by
the -Bayfield County Board of Supervisors concerning the Health Area Designation -Plan under P.L. 93-
641.
As you know, I was required to submit proposed regions to the Secretary of Health, Education,
and Welfare by May-3, 1975. The Plan was widely circulated including county: boards -and other group
in each of the proposed areas. The draft Areas Designation Plan included Bayfield County in a
Minnesota/Wisconsin Interstate Health Service Area. The development of an interstate area centered
on the Duluth/Superior metropolitan area was dictated by federal law, which precludes dividing
interstate standard metropolitan statistical areas unless both Governors involved agree. Governor
Anderson feels strongly that Duluth and Superior are closely related, and should be in a single
area. I agreed. The proposal that the remainder of the counties in State Administrative District
8 be a part of the interstate area reflects the secondary preference of the NACHPO Board of
Directors, and also reflects our desire to maintain the integrity of the state administrative
districts. It should be emphasized that we are not "giving up" these counties to -Minnesota in
any sense. They have priorities for funding and other activities determined on the basis of
Wisconsin plans, and will participate in Wisconsin resource allocation and regulatory activities.
Thank you for making your views on this important matter known to me. I regret that the require-
ments of federal law and the criteria for determining areas were such that the plan is not complete
responsive to the desires of the Bayfield County Board.
Sincerely,
PATRICK J. LUCEY

Dear Mr. Pajala:
I have forwarded the resolutnn of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors to our State Head-
quarters with recommendation that we fulfill their request if there is any possible way to
do so.
Since then, I have received a copy of Colonel Versnik's response to the resolution request
and address to you and, in so doing, learned that a copy had been forwarded to them along
with the mailing of the resolution to me.
I also would like nothing better than to see another trooper assigned to Bayfield County.
I sincerely hope that the study to -be conducted by the Planning Section will bring favorable
results to your request.

Dear Mr.-Pajala:
Thank you for forwarding the resolution No., 8 of the Bayfield County Board. We are pleased
to learn of the Board's interest in highway safety and their desire to have another state
traffic officer assigned,to Bayfield County.
I have directed our planning unit to study the matter and to evaluate the needs in relation
to other areas of the state.
Perhaps, you are aware that section 110.07 of the Wisconsin Statutes limits the State Patrol
to, not more than 375 state Traffic Officers. These men are presently assigned throughout
the state to areas in proportion to the traffic problem. Since I cannot hire additional
officers until the legislature sees fit to change the law, it will be quite impossible for
me to assign another officer to Bayfield County from our present compliment of men. I know
of no pending legislation which would permit me to do that by July 1, 1975, as requested in
the resolution.
Be assured.that.the resolution and request by the Board will be studied,and evaluated care-
fully.. Nothing could please me more than to be able to comply with the request.
Cordially,
Lew V. Versnik, Colonel
Director, Enforcement Bureau

LAW ENFORCEMENT MEMORIAL COMMITTEE
June 11, 1975
I TO: ALL WISCONSIN SHERIFFS
SUBJECT: Memorial Plaque for County Court Houses
Dear Sheriff:
y In February, 1975, a Memorial Committee was established with representatives of the listed Wis-
0
consin'law enforcement associations and agencies serving thereon.
`j The goal of this Committee is to place an appropriate and very professionally designed plaque
in each County Courthouse in Wisconsin to serve as a memorial and reminder to our citizens of
the many law enforcement officers who have given their lives while serving their state, county
or community in the line of duty. The Committee hoped to include the names of these officers
across the state but the difficulty in obtaining all inclusive data and the probability of leaving
off a name forced the members -to change their original decision.
June 25, 1975
Accordingly, the Committee would establish.a fitting plaque with the inscription as follows:
Our Nation, the State of Wisconsin and our community
remember with honor and appreciation all law officers
who have given their lives in the line of duty. May
their -sacrifice inspire us to see that our liberty
is not the right'to do as we please, but the opportunity
under God to do what is right and pleasing.
This plaque would then be furnished for placement in the Court House. The Committee at present
needs your assistance. We ask that you inquire of your County Board their approval to place
such a professional memorial in the Court House in a location which you and they may choose.
The County Board should not be asked to finance the plaque unless of course they wish to. The
cost of a uniform plaque is estimated at approximately $300 and it is hoped that law enforce-
ment officers within each county where interest is generated; will raise funds through associations
etc. or the Board if they desire to finance one.
In the spirit of cooperation, im memory of the officers who have died and in respect to their
families we ask that you discuss this matter with your Board and following their action notify
me. We fully realize this may not be immediately.possible depending on the Board's schedule
of meetings and agenda but request your reasonable response.
If you have any questions about the plaque or the Committee, please contact me immediately.
I will look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Charles A. Grant
