Moved by Seidel, seconded by Rave to receive the reports and place them on file. Motion carried. No. 13 Dick Olson, Sr., representing the county hospital board, presented the hospital addition matter. He said the board had received a request from the county board executive committee for research on a skilled nursing facility addition to the hospital. The board had asked for initial drawings from two architects free of charge. Both came up with similar drawings of a 120 bed T-type addition on the present hospital site. They projected the addition attached mid -center on present building. Both came up with figures of around 1 million, 400 thousand dollars, although one firm felt it could be up a few thousand from that figure. The dollar amounts included constri tion, furnishings and architects fees. The hospital board's research found that a representative of a bonding company said it was not financially feasible to consider less than a. 75 to 80 bed facility. This, he said, was essential for bonding. Ed.Dashner, Director of Social Services, said that there were over 100 persons who have had to leave the county and seek nursing home services elsewhere because of the lack of facilities. He told the board the county is losing elderly residents since when they leave they change residency to the other county. "The county is passing up an industry this way", he said. Mr. Olson handed out copies of a letter written 3y Ramona Branzell, President of the Board of Directors. The letter outlined in detail the advantages of having a skilled rest home attached to the present hospital. Mot ion Moved by Polich, seconded by Erickson that the Executive Committee meet with the hospital board to further consider the possibility of the addition and to do "extended research" on the matter and come back with a report at the June board meeting.

Paj a.la Bayfield County Clerk Bayfield County Court House Washburn, WI 54891 Dear Mr. Pajala: I am presently the owner of Lots 8 and 10, Block 116, located in the City of Bayfield. Bayfield County owns Lots 7 and 9 in Block 116. The City of Bayfield has an ordinance that requires a frontage of 80 feet (two 40--foot lots) before a house can be built. At the present my lots cannot be used for a. building site nor can those (Lots 7 and 9) owned by Bayfield County. Therefore, I should like to propose an exchange with Bayfield County of Lot 8 for Lot 9. Since I believe the lots would be appraised of equal value, this would only involve an exchange of title. The result of this transaction would be of mutual benefit to both parties as both parcels of land (Lots 7 and 8 and Lots 9 and 10) would meet the requirements of a building site for the City of Bayfield. The cost of the title exchange would be at my expense. I would appreciate your assistance in this matter by presenting my proposal to the Bayfield County Board at its next meeting. Very truly yours, George Badzinski Moved by Meierotto, seconded by Polich to receive the foregoing communication and place it on file. Motion carried.

It was through their cooperation and ideas that resulted in the high attendance of community veterans and agency participants. The veterans in attendance were allowed the opportunity to learn about all benefits and resources available for them from the many agencies at hand. The agency and organization people were also allowed to interact with each other, which I am sure will make for greater cooperation and ultimate effectiveness in the future. Each veteran in your community is indeed fortunate he/she has a CVSO with the high calibre, ambition, and skill as does Tom Anderson . But what impresses most about Tom is his undying energy to help his veterans the most he.can, - regardless of the time and efforts involved. I personally have learned much from Tom's example. It was certainly a pleasure working with Tom, June, and Jan, in providing the area with a successful Veterans Information Day. I certainly look forward to working with them often in the. future.

The following communication was read: No. 61 April 20, 1977 The Chequamegon Sun Newspaper. 331 Bayfield Street - Box 7 Washburn, WI 54891 373-2800 Members of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: I In reference to the designation of the official Bayfield County newspaper, we respect- fully submit the following information. The Chequamegon Sun Newspaper has .been publishing weekly, at the City of Washburn, continuously for over one year. In February, 1978 the Chequamegon Sun will have been pub- lishing two years continuously and will, according to state statutes, be eligible for desig- nation as a legal newspaper within Bayfield County. As the Board presently has before it the matter of choosing between the Washburn Times and the Iron River Pioneer, we request you to consider that in six months you will have another alternative available. At that time, the Board will be free to.retain the designated paper, re -designate an official publication, or let bids, as is done in most counties. Several members of the Board have expressed concern a.s to the circulation areas of Mr. Korpela'a publications. We bring to your attention that the Chequamegon Sun presently dis- tributes over 1000 paid copies within Bayfield County weekly, as well as a substantial out of state mailing., which.. reaches the "return visitor market" and, importantly, out of County property owners. As of April, 1977, the Chequamegon Sun is widely circulated throughout all sections of the County. It is the only newspaper published in Bayfield County which is distributed countywide, the only exception being the Iron River area. If the Sun's record continues, as we are sure it will, this exception will not exist next February. We are well aware. that"the members of this Board are foremost concerned with saving the taxpapers money. We would like youyto.know that we are doing our best, each week, to aid you in accomplishing this end. Nicole Bilotti Respectfully, D.

Motion carried. The following communication was read: No. 64 Rt. 1 Washburn, WI 54891 March 25, 1977 Supervisors Bayfield County Board Washburn, Wisconsin Dear County Board Members: I feel I must tell you how very sorry I was to learn of Jake Heinlein's resignation as zoning administrator. We have been extremely fortunate to have such a capable, conscientious, knowledg person in this most important and difficult position. I was astonished and appalled to learn that the zoning budget had been drastically cut - when it obviously needed to be enlarged, in order to better deal with the increasing development of the county. In the last few years the general public has become increasingly aware of the importance of zoning - in favorably guiding and controlling the growth that.is coming so rapidly,to Bayfield County. There has been more and more understanding and general agreement with the ideals, goals, and necessity of zoning. Are the supervisors keeping up? Is the County Board assuming its responsibility to protect the precious, fragile qualities of Bayfield County - that can be so quickly and irrevocably destroyed - while also,welcoming the kind of controlled development that is obviously desireable? It is possible to have both - if we all support good zoning practices. I sincerely hope you will review this zoning budget. Yours truly, Carolyn P. Sneed Moved by Spears, seconded by Bromberg to receive the foregoing communication and place it on file. Motion carried. April 20, 19.7.7�.
