August 3, 1976 A lengthy discussion followed. Wa.11a.ce Johnson and Ila Bromberg spoke in favor of the resolution. Charles Polich spoke in favor of remaining in the 51.42 Board for at least another year during which time a comprehensive study would be made. The clerk read the following letter addressed to Walter Ba.rningham, chairman of the county board, from Dr. Ganser, Admn., Division of Mental Hygiene, in regard to -he Unified Services Board. A question was raised by Charles Polich regarding the time element. He stated that he be- lieved the time was too short for the county to prepare a budget and get organized and be ready to operate by January 1, 1977. Mr. Ed Dashner, Director of the Bayfield County Department of Social Services, spoke and said that there wa.s time enough to set up the county program in time for funding. Several other county board members spoke for and against the resolution. July 26, 1976 Mr. Walter Barningha.m, Chairman Bayfield County Board Star Route - Bayfield, WI 54814 Dear Mr. Ba.rningha.m: I have received a report from Mr. David Randby, the Division's District'Administrator, that the Bayfield County Executive and Social Services Joint Committee voted on July 20, 1976 to recom- mend the separation of Bayfield County from the Unified Services Board of Ashland, Bayfield, Iron and Price Counties. Apparently the Joint Committee has recommended that Bayfield County proceed to form a single -county 51.42/51.437 board system. The purpose of this letter is to ask for your assistance in further clarification of,the situation. First, as you know, the Department of Health and Social Services has never re -certified a 51 board that sought to separate from a multi -county board arrangement. Lacking this experience, the Department needs to know what procedural steps the Bayfield County Board intends to take to seek Department certification. .In particular, it wouldhe helpful to know how and when the Bayfield County Board intends to abolish the present 51 board affiliation and how and when the proposed 51 board will be created. Second, there are a number.of programmatic and fiscal concerns that must be satisfied by the Department. As I wrote to Mr. James Shaw in another context, the Department's policy is to maximize the dollars available for direct services'a.nd to minimize the dollars required for administration. It is presently assumed by,the Department that counties with low population bases can have the same advantages as counties with larger populations by combining their resources'i to get the services people need in the most effective and efficient manner. Thus, Bayfield County will have to: -demonstrate that its proposed separation does not detract from the service delivery system now in place and indeed improves on it. I am directing the Bureau of Mental Health, the Bureau of Mental Retardation, and the Bureau of Alcoholism and.Other Drug Abuse to formulate the specific questions related to those disability programs that must be addressed in order to evaluate the programmatic effects of Bayfield County's proposed separation. I will be forwarding those questions to you in the very near future with a request that Bayfield County provide the Department with the necessary information. After that information is evaluated and other factors reviewed, including Departmental and legislative indications concerning the optimal organization of service delivery systems, the request for re -certification will be acted on. In the meantime, I hope to hear from you soon regarding the procedural steps the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors will be following to pursue separation. Would you please send this infor- mation to Mr. David Randby? Sincerely L. H. Ganser, M.D. Administrator DIVISION OF MENTAL HYGIENE A roll call vote was ta:kem on the adoption of the foregoing resolution with the following results: No. 2a Ayes - Erickson, Meierotto, Bromberg, Zamback, Seidel, Rave, Johnson, Carter, Hanson, Berweger, Ludzack, Ba.rningha.m Na.yes - Hoagland, Korpela, Spears, Heglund, Polich' Ayes - 12 Na.yes - 5 TOTAL 17 Motion carried. r U t 3 ', 1976 The following resolution was read: No. 3 WHEREAS, Bayfield County formerly belonged to "Wisconsin Indian Head Country" to promote advertising and felt that it was not receiving representation from such a large organization, and WHEREAS,,, the minutes of the Conservation Committee meeting dated April 23, 1976, indicates that the Conservation Committee unanimously favors Bayfield County belonging to a smaller organization with possibly only six counties of northern Wisconsin to insure better dollar distribution of tourism advertising and better representation, and WHEREAS, a letter to the Bayfield County Board Cha.irman.from the Division of Tourism dated July 144, 1976, states in part, "There should be strong logic in joining counties together, either because they share geographical or historical features. . ." and WHEREAS, the "Region I" proposed by the Tourism Council containing Bayfield County is basically the same area as "Indianhead" and this would indicate the need to disapprove this proposal of the state to include Bayfield County along with 16 other counties as far down as Pierce and Jackson Counties, and favor a more advantageous region of six counties which would give Bayfield County more identity. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors not approve the proposal to create tourism regions as indicated on the attached map as submitted to the County Board Chairman on July 14, 1976, by the State of Wisconsin, Division of Tourism. Dated this 3 day of August, 1976. Larry Seidel Ila Bromberg Karl Ludzack Art Hanson William Za.mback Moved by Seidel, seconded by Bromberg to adopt the foregoing resolution. Motion carried.

He presented a chart of the areas involved and explained the new facility. No. 5 Albert Johnson and David Wentz representing the Cancer Alert Program next appeared before the Board. the The clerk informed the Board that two gentlemen were not present at the request of the county employees. He stated that the employees had accepted the decision of the County Board of the June lst meeting. However, the two men had made a request to the county board chairman requesting time to present their case, said request being granted. They stated that they actually represented the Cancer Alert Program and Lone Star Life Insurance Company, Texas, was their carrier. Mr. Wentz stated that by not being on the payroll deduction plan, the premiums for individuals would be 25% higher and that the waiting period would be extended. Moved by Carter, seconded by Johnson to accept the proposal of payroll deduction and that the initial cost -of the program be borne by the insurance company and that the conditions as outlined in Resoution #12 on June 1, 1976 which was defeated will prevail.

Barningham Bayfield County Board Star Route Bayfield, WI Dear Mr. Barningham: On behalf of our Squadron I would like to request that, if possible, the Bayfield County Board consider an additional allocation of $750.00 for Civil Air Patrol services during 1976. If these funds were made available to us it would bring us to the level that we have received from Bayfield County in years past. Our Squadron is at this time attempting to obtain a. full time Corporate aircraft to be based at the Ashland Airport. To obtain this aircraft our Squ:ad.ron must be able to provide about $1500.00 to our Wing Headquarters per year to cover the cost of risk and hull insurance as well as payment into the Wing maintenance fund. At this time our Squadron rents an aircraft at a cost of $20-.00 per hour to provide Emergency Air Services to Bayfield County as well as a flight program for our teenage Cadets. This $20.00 per hour charge has--always-been paid for out of Senior Memberassessments, never out of County funds. We feel the advantage of having a local aircraft are many. Most of our calls require an air- craft be available as soon as possible and as many times the rental plane must be reserved in advance, we have to call on other Units which sometimes takes hours. With the new National Lakeshore and the upcoming increase in use of our p.arks,.-fs?-lthebne_ed,1for Emergency Air Services from Civil Air Patrol can only increase in Bayfield County. As you know, the Civil Air Patrol is funded only for fuel costs on actual search missions. All other costs must be born by the local Unit. Also, Wisconsin is one of the few States that provides no State funds at all for it's Civil Air Patrol Wing, thus all costs for aircraft fall on the units that have them. August 3 , 1976;, We did not, at the start on.1976 feel that the 50% decrease in funding from Bayfield County would hurt our program. However, as with everything, our costs have increased and we now request that the Board consider 'additional funding for the current year 1976. Sincerely, lst Lt Thomas Kinney Unit Commander Moved by Polish that the request be referred to the proper committee for evaluation. Wallace Johnson advised the Board that the letter had already been brought to the attention of the Executive Committee and the Executive Committee had decided to take no action other than to refer it to the entire county board. It was also pointed out that the county board had been requested by the Civil Air Patrol to include an item of $1500 in the '76 budget for Civil Air Patrol and the Executive Committee had reduced that request amount to $750 which was, approved by the county board. There being no second to the above motion, a motion was made by Bromberg and seconded by Berweger that the request be denied,. Motion carried.

MAITLAND CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT BOX 777 WASHBURN, WISCONSIN 54891 October 16, 1975 Executive Committee Bayfield County Washburn, WI Gentlemen: Joseph Berweger During the course of our examination of the financial accounts of Bayfield County, the following items pertaining to accounting procedures were considered to require your attention. Property of Bayfield County, except property of the Rest Home and the Highway Department, is not accounted for after purchase or construction.. Location, use and eventual disposition of these assets are uncontrolled and subject to misappropriation. We recommend that a complete inventory be taken of equipment, including identification and valuation of such equipment, and a complete inventory be taken of buildings with the description, location and valuation. Upon completion of the inventory, property accounts should be established and maintained. Future entries in these accounts would be few, but the accounts would insure proper inspection of inventories with the use of continuing records. We suggest a review of all policies that govern expense account reporting. Consideration could be given to increasing the minimum amounts requiring supporting data. Expense accounts, should include actual bills, number of persons involved, exact dates of travel and purpose and authorization of travel. All expense accounts must be fully documented regardless of their funding on reimbursements. We recommend that all departments maintain close contact frith the County Clerk's records to observe and reconcile their respective control accounts. This is essential for departments that have the responsibility of filing funding claims with various governmental.agencies. The contact between departments and the County Clerk would help insure that the proper claims are timely submitted. August 3. 1976 Section 59.08(l) of the Wisconsin Statutes requires that public works, including repair and remodeling, shall be let by bid if estimated in excess of $1,000.00. It is suggested that the Executive Committee insure that future contracts adher•to this requirement. Page 21 of the audit report discusses tax certificates held by county. We continue to suggest that the tax certificates which are merged with the county's title be transferred to the tax deed account in accordance with Section 75.36(9) of the Wisconsin Statutes. On deposit with the funds of the Clerk of Circuit Court are numerous old accounts of various descriptions, including some amounts which are not supported by documents. We suggest that the proper authority review,all old accounts and institute proper disposition. An insurance record should be established and maintained current at all times to show the in -force coverage of all insurance of Bayfield County. Dog license fund excess amounts to $4,340.89 as of December 31, 1974. Review should be made of Section 174.09(2) of the Wisconsin Statutes for .possible .refunding of the excess to the districts.
