Mr. Larry Young gave a report on what this county has done in regard to Emergency Medical
Services. He passed out a report to. all board members. ;:(Copy on file in the county clerk's office
Wallace Johnson stated that at the time when the budget was being prepared, it appeared that
the Health Systems Agency would be taking over the functions of NACHPO and, therefore, an
appropriation should be made to HSA instead of NACHPO.. He further stated that it now appears
that the money formerly budgeted to Western Lake Superior should probably be used for paying
Bayfield County's share of financing NACHPO.
Moved by Johnson, seconded by Carter to transfer the money budgeted to Western Lake Superior
to NACHPO. Motion carried.
The following resolution was read: No. 5
WHEREAS, Bayfield County Highway Committee, after much study and deliberation, deems it
most economical and feasible to relocate a portion of County Trunk Highway "A" beginning at a
point approximately 1615 feet north of'the southwest corner of Sec. 9 T47N R8W (Town of Iron
River) thence northerly approximately 4.2 miles to the west 1/4 corner of Sec. 21 T48N R8W
(Town -of Tripp) more explicitly described as beginning at the junction of U.S.H. #2 at the Iron
River Wayside northerly to the junction of County Trunk_Highway "A" and the Hoopers Road, and
WHEREAS,.Bayfield County Highway Committee gives the following reasons for recommending
relocation of County Trunk Highway "A":
(1) Behr visibility at the proposed intersection as no buildings obstruct view of oncoming
traffic and -thus creating a safer approach.
(2) Less congestion at the proposed intersection and therefore railroad crossing and U.S.H.#2
traffic move more freely.
(3) As tourist traffic increases to the Apostle Islands National Park, the most efficient
route should be maintained.
(4) Cost estimates received from Owen Ayres & Associates show relocation of County Trunk
Highway "A" to be considerably less than staying on the present alignment.
F
1, 1977
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that Bayfield County Board of Supervisors is very concerned
about highway safety, maintenance and upkeep of County roads, and as in the past, believes
the highest standard should be maintained for all transportation: We, therefore, recommend
to the Division of Highways, State of Wisconsin, the relocation of County Trunk Highway "A"
as proposed be accepted.

decision is made.

The following communication was read: No. 6
STATE OF WISCONSIN/DEPT. OF HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES
January 25, 1977
Mr. Walter Barningham,.C.hairman
Bayfield County Board
Star Route
Bayfield, WI 54814
Dear Mr. Barningham:
Again, may I thank you for the invitation to meet with your Executive Committee of the County
Board. I felt the meeting had been productive in achieving a level of communication between
this Department and the Bayfield County Board which should be mutually beneficial to both
parties.
Even though there has been an exbhange of correspondence dating back to June of last year, with
hindsight I wished we had met with you and your Executive Committee much earlier in the develop-
ment of this situation.
Since our meeting with you on January 14, there have been inquiries and communication from
the other three counties indicating a possibility that they are considering creating three
individual county 51.42 boards. In addition, there has been an inquiry from.a county in another
multi -county board structure, indicating that they too might separate from their present
three -county structure.
Obviously, all of this has to create considerable concern in many places, including the Legis=
lature, for the way in which these individual county actions will affect the delivery of services
and the funding of services.
For instance, as we.l.had discussed .with you, all of us'should be concerned that.large amounts
of state and local funding which is currently going into service delivery will inevitably
need to be reallocated to paying for administration costs of potentially a dozen new and
separate 51.42 boards.
Again, I express the Department's request that you convene a meeting of the other three county
board chairmen withrthe Unified Board for the purpose of identifying the specific problems
and concerns regarding the Unified Board's operations. I remainconvinced that if this step
were taken, the problems could be dealt with effectively, and I -again offer to assist that
effort in any way you would desire.
There is no question that Mr. Johnson's concerns are serious and should be dealt with, but
we are firm in our opinion and request that they be within the structure of a four -county unified
board. We believe that with a good faith effort.on the part of all parties we could, within
calendar year 1977, bring the four -county unified board into an operating status acceptable
to each of the four county's Board of Supervisors.
February 1, 1977
The support of you and Mr. Johnson in "going the extra mile" for calendar year 1977 would serve
not only to overcome, the problems you have encountered with your unified board, but wooloerve as
an example for other multi -county boards as to how to approach solutions to their problems, rather
initiating a potentially statewide disintegration -of multi-county,cooperat:ion in the delivery of
human services.
If your county board does, however, reaffirm its previous action to establish a separate board, it
should do so understanding that it will take a period of time for the remaining three counties to
prepare their separate or combined board plans/budgets for review and approval. During the course
of that work, we would continue to fund the Unified Board.
Please let me know if we can be of assistance to you and if you need additional information.
Sincerely yours,
James A. Krauskopf
Deputy Secretary
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & SOCIAL SERVICES
Moved by Seidel, seconded by Polich to receive the foregoing communication and place it
on file. Motion carried.
Thomas Foy., District Attorney, appeared and gave his legal opinion on two questions as
outlined in the following letter which had been put to him.
January 27, 1977
Thomas P. Fox
District Attorney
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Tom:
The Executive Committee at their meeting held on January 19th discussed the withdrawal of Bayfield
County from the Multi -County Unified Services. Two legal questions were raised at the meeting.
1. Was the action taken by Bayfield.County in withdrawing from the Multi -County Unit legal?
2. Does the Wisconsin Dept. of Social Services have the legal right to fund a four -county
Unified Services.unit now that Bayfield County has withdrawn and only three counties are
part of the unit?
Your opinion on these two questions on or before next Tuesday's meeting of the County Board will
be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Edward A. Paja.la
County Clerk
EAP:mas
Mr. Fox said that in his opinion Bayfield County had a problem in getting out of the contract
before September 1, 1977 at which time the contract will expire.
He stated that the state might say that they cannot fund a single county unit as it was not
included in the original contract.

situation in regard to 1978 participation in the multi -county arrangement prior to the end

Moved by Renoos, seconded by Rave to adopt the foregoing resolution.
Joyce Meyer appeared before the Board and asked for county sponsorship of a. federal grant for
money available for a Juvenile Delinquency Prevention Program.
Sandra Brown, hired by the Bayf field Urban.Rural Community School Council, also spoke in
favor of the project.
A lengthy discussion followed and a. large.portion of members gave their opinion.
She did not,ask for .any financial support as the program would be fully funded by federal
grants.
Both Sandra Brown and Joyce Meyer commented on the need of the program and stated that the
program was a. county program and not any particular area. program.
Concern was voiced by several county board members in regard to the possibility of county
funding of the program after federal funds -are depleted. Sandra -Brown indicated that there was a.
possibility that local support might be asked for after the first 2 years of operation.
The following legal opinion of Tom Fox, D.A., in regard to county participation in the program
was read.

Re: Application for funding
County -wide Youth Service Program
Dear Mr. Paja.la.:
,I have been contacted by Sandra Brown, the consultant writing the grant proposal for the
above project, regarding a legal opinion .of the County's liability under that program. From
my discussion with Ms. Brown,. -it, is my understanding that the County's participation under the
program would be limited to the Sheriff's office. The Sheriff's office would be program ap-
plicant and have a. representative on the independent corporate board 'controlling the program.
It is my further understanding that the controlling*lboard,_ the Bayfield County Youth
Service Board, Inc., would completely control the operation of.the program and would obtain
comprehensive liability insurance covering its activities.
Based on the above, it is my opinion that the liability exposure for the County as a
result of the operation of the Bayfield County Youth Service -Board; Inc.., would be minimal.
As it is difficult to forsee future events and circumstances, it is not possible to rule out
liability completely.
You may want. to contact a visk manager with the County's present insurer to get an insur-
ance industry opinion on this matter.
Sincerely yours,
Thomas P. Fox

Dear Board Members:
I am looking for space for a Lake Superior Area Field Office for the University of Wisconsin
Sea. Grant Program. I will work along Wisconsin's Lake Superior shore by pr.oviding.,information and
assistance on Lake Superior's resources and problems to communities, businesses and the general
public.
I will need space for a secretary and me, an area for visitng researchers to work and a place for
storing office.supplies,and,equipment; Offices such as the Highway Commissioner's old office or
the office across the hall from that one would be fine if some repairs are made.
The Sea Grant Program will pay rent for the office and will stay at least a couple of years.
There is no requirement for -the county to share in paying costs.
The University will make a final decision on,renting spa.ee..; This will depend on -cost, availability
of someone to,:answer . the . phone -when the.seer.etary is absent and the' availability of facilities
such a.s Xerox and mimeograph machines.
This is just a request to.find-if the county is willing to make an offer for renting space.
Sincerely,
