Moved by Meierotto, seconded by Erickson to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. Motion carried. No. 2 Lyle Cowley, delegate from the Bayfield County Game Congress, appeared before the board. Mr. Cowley reminded the board that the county has been appropriating the sum of $100 to cover the cost of the expenses of the members of the county conservation game congress. He stated, however, if all members attended as they did in 1977, the $100 appropriated is 0 insufficient to cover the expenses and he asked the county board to consider increasing that amount to $150 in 1978. Bromberg arrived at 9:50 AM. Eric Johnson arrived at 9:55 AM. Questions were asked by board members which were answered by Mr. Cowley. The clerk read the following letter from Bill Bromberg: No. 3 September 19, 1977 To the Members of the County Board: I am an elected member of the Wisconsnn Conservation Congress, an alternate delegate, representing sportsmen's interest in Bayfield County. I feel it is necessary to express my objection to the use of public tax dollars to subsidize the Congress in any way. Although I do intend to remain a member as long as I am re-elected and would, no doubt benefit by the subsidization. g0 September 23. 1977 $100.00 isn't a great amount, but the issue is not money but the ethics of supporting the organization. First, I would question the policy of using taxpayers money in this manner and second, you may be setting a precedent for other special interest groups. I have been informed that Bayfield is the only County that does subsidize Congress members. It is my feeling that a delegate should pay his own way or be subsidized by one or more of the sportsmen's groups he represents. Finally, if the Bayfield County delegates had met to discuss this policy and voted on it, I would abide by the decision of the majority, However, since this procedure was not followed, I would like to take this opportunity to express my opinion. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Bill Bromberg Moved by Seidel, seconded by Hanson to receive the foregoing communication and place it on file. Motion carried Moved by Polich, seconded by Hanson that Bayfield County discontinue participation in financing the game congress for the year 1978. Motion carried. No. 4 Bill Lake, from the Dept. of Revenue, presented to the board the county values for 1977. Mr. Lake provided information to the board regarding the number of sales in each taxing district in the last year and also the total for the last 2 years. He went on to explain the formula the state uses in arriving at the equalization values. He stated that the state uses only normal sales which appear to be between a willing buyer and seller and not any sales that are made under any pressure and the state also does not use any county or other municipal land sales. Mr. Lake said that they use the sales figures and compare them with the assessment on the same parcels and from that they arrive at the level of assessment by the local assessor. The state then takes the previous years equalized valuation and by using the formula adjusts that to what they believe the valuation should have been in the previous year and adjusts the valuation accordingly. Mr. Lake advised the board that it was not necessary for the county to adopt the resolution establishing the equalized valuations at the.September meeting and he was only pre- senting these to the county at this time and the county could actually formally adopt the reso- lution in November, if they so desire. MOTION NO. 5 Moved by Rave, seconded by Bromberg not to vote on the equalized values until the November meeting. Motion lost. 0 September 23. 1977 The following Report of the Committee on Equalization was read: No. 6 Washburn, Wisconsin September 23=, 1977 TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF BAYFIELD COUNTY•: GENTLEMEN: We, the undersigned Committee on Equalization of'Bayfield County, after a careful examination of all evidence and data placed before us by the Supervisor of Assessment of said county and all other data at our disposal, do hereby agree that the following valuations set out after each taxation district are the full and correct valuations of the real and personal property of said county for the year 1977 and recommend that the county assessment of district values be made on said basis: DISTRICT TOTAL VALUATION TOWNS: Barksdale 9,742,850 Barnes 24,737,850 Bayfield 101,369,900 Bayview 6,0601,220 �S Bell 6,9972860 a Cable 24,446,910 Clover 5,868,860 Delta 72149,060 Drummond 16,2121)630 Eileen 8,791,050 Grandview 101868,810 Hughes 5,655,050 Iron River 20,622,070 Kelly 6,247,460 Keystone 4,148,970 Lincoln 3,988,510 .

No. 18 The next matter to be brought to the- attention of the county board was the sale of a small parcel of land in the Town of Tripp to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Present to discuss the matter were.Ervin Harnois, chairman of the Town of Tripp, G. Wm. Frankie, resident of the Town of Tripp and former town chairman, Steve Schram .from the DNR and Ted Kavajecz, former resident of Tripp now residing in Barksdale. Mr. Harnois stated that he nor September 23,,1977 the Town of Tripp was not necessarily opposed to the fish hatchery being built in the Town of Tripp or the sale of land by Bayfield County, but that they were merely asking for time to gather, more information on what impact, the hatchery would have on the Town of Tripp. Mr. Frankie and Mr. Kavajecz spoke in favor of the county selling the parcel to the Fish and Wildlife Service and Steve Schram stated that the DNR has not had the opportunity yet to thoroughly study the matter and therefore they were not taking any position at this time. The county clerk advised the board that Vincent Schurr, appraiser for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had advised him several weeks ago that they are re -appraising the property as the original appraisal was made in 1976 and it appears that property values have increased in many in- stances since the last appraisal. The clerk advised the board that Mr. Schurr had told him that they were not pressing for purchase of the property until the new appraisal is completed. Members the board indicated that they thought that the county should take action at this time and authorize sale of the property subject:to the new appraisal.

The committee has had one meeting and it appears that there are many problems involved if the county were to purchase the facility.
