Clerk Pajala brought the board up to date on the progress of the National Park Service
proposal to purchase 1400 acres of county owned land. An official appraisal has been received
from the park service and the executive committee tentatively accepted the proposal and a reso-
lution was going to be presented to the board today.
It has now come to the attention of the committee that part of the lands are entered
under the County Forest Crop Law and cannot be sold until they are withdrawn and there also
appears to be some question in regard to the appraisal. Pajala stated that he has suggested
to the Executive Committee that these matters be resolved before a resolution is presented
to the county board.
The Executive Committee is now in favor of holding off action on the sale of the land
until the April meeting.
Pat Miller, Superintendent of the Apostle Islands National Park Service appeared =before
the board in regard to the proposed purchase.
Renoos arrived at 9:50 A.M.
Mr. Miller stated that he has now been made aware of the fact that some of the lands are
entered under the F.C.L. and, consequently, the park service is now preparing two separate
offers which would allow the county to approve the sale of the lands not entered under the
F.C.L. first and then second with the remaining lands to be sold after they have been with-
drawn from Forest Crop.
William Hepner, Forest.Administrator, was present and also spoke on the matter. He stated
that if the county is desirous of selling the lands entered under Forest Crop, the board
should direct the Forestry Committee to initiate action for withdrawal.
February 7, 1978
Clerk Pajala stated that he had requested the district attorney to give him an opinion
regarding the procedure,of sale of county owned lands to the U.S. Government. The clerk read
to the board the opinion of the district attorney in which the district attorney stated that
he was of the opinion that Section 75.69 of the Wisconsin Statutes would be controlling and
states in essence that no tax delinquent real estate acquired by a municipality should be sold
unless the sale and appraised value of such real estate has been advertised by publication of a
Class 3 Notice under Chapter 9$5. The district attorney further stated that the requirement
would not apply to lands that have been withdrawn from C.F.L.
Moved by Polich.that the county board refer the matter of sale of all these lands involved
to the Forestry Committee for a further study and brought back to the county board in April.
Motion lost due to lack of a second.
Moved by Bromberg, seconded by E. Johnson that the county board approve the sale of the
land to the National Park Service in concept so that the different committees can go ahead.
Bromberg withdrew her motion.
MOTION NO. 3
Moved by Seidel, seconded by Carter to refer the matter of withdrawal of the County Forest
Lands to the Forestry Committee and authorize them to proceed with the withdrawal. Motion
carried.
MOTION NO. 4
Moved by Ludzack, seconded by Bromberg to refer the negotiations for the balance of $he
land and check the legality to the executive committee. Motion carried.
NO. 5
Tom Higgins, Douglas County Board Chairman and CEP field man, spoke briefly to the board.
Mr. Higgins advised the board that CEP will have money available to finance special projects
and that if the county board'or any municipality is interested, they should contact the Ashland
Intake Center.

Mr. Walter Barningham, chairman
Bayfield County Board
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Sir:
The Delta Town Board wishes to inform the Bayfield County Board and its highway committee, that t
are supportive of the Northwest Regional Planning Commission's plan to change Forestry Road #223,
the Delta -Drummond Road, to a county road.
County maintenance would be most appropriate since #223 will route tourists north to Highway #2.
Sincerely,
Mrs. E. Visocky, Delta Clerk

Moved by Berweger, seconded by Spears to refer the communication to the jurisdictional
study committee. Motion carried.
NO. 19
Don Wilson, from the Division of Highways in Superior, appeared before the board in regard
to the jurisdictional study. The purpose for the jurisdictional study in Bayfield County is
to classify the highway system in the county according to the purpose or function that each high-
way serves and then relate that function to the right jurisdiction.
He showed the board maps of the functional classification system.
Mr. Wilson stated that if the county were to absorb all of the highways as proposed by
the jurisdictional classification study committee, the impact would be quite heavy and he stated
that the county may wish to approve the various changes in several steps over a period of 10
or more years.
Mr. Wilson stated that he was present to seek input from the county board as to which
direction they should proceed.
Moved by Polich, seconded by Carter to refer the matter to the highway committee, Dept.
of Transportation, Jurisdictional Highway Committee and the Northwest Regional Planning Commission.
Motion carried.
NO. 20.
Clerk Pajala stated that'he has discussed`the In Lieu of Taxes revenues with the district
attorney as the county board had originally referred the matter to Tom Fox the former district
attorney and there still appeared to be some dis-satisfaction on the part of the county board
regarding Mr. Fox's opinion. He then read the following opinion as given by Mr. Bussey.

WILLIAM D..BUSSEY
District Attorney
Bayfield Co.
February 6, 1978
Mr. Edward A. Pajala
Bayfield County Clerk
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Mr. Pajala:
You have requested my opinion on whether payments in lieu of taxes received by the
County under Section 1 of Public Law 94-565 can be distributed by the County to the towns in
which the National Forest lands entitling the County to such payments are located. In my
opinion, the County can not distribute such payments to the towns in question. My reasoning
is as follows:
Section 1 of Public Law 94-565 provides that
"...the Secretary is authorized and directed to make payments on a
fiscal year basis to each unit of local government in which entitle-
ment lands (as defined in Section 6) are located. Such payments may be
used by such unit for any governmental::purpose...."
Section 6 of the Act defines "unit of local government as
"...a county, parish, township, municipality, borough existing in the
State of Alaska on the date of enactment of this Act, or other unit
of government below the State which is a unit of general government
as determined by the Secretary...."
Pursuant to this Section the Secretary of the Interior has determined that in Wisconsin,
counties - rather than towns - are the "units of local government" entitled to receive pay-
ments in lieu of taxes under Section 1 of the Act. A similar determination by the Secre-
tary with respect to Michigan counties and towns has withstood a court challenge. Accordingly,
it is quite clear that it is the County - not the towns - which is entitled to receive the
payments under the act.
A question remains, however, as to whether the County may distribute such.payments to
the towns, if it wishes to do so. Section 1 of the Act states that the payments may be used
for "any governmental purpose". However, I do not think that it was the intent of the Act
to give local units of government authority beyond that given them under state law. Therefore,
I construe this language to mean that a county may use the payments for any governmental pur-
pose permitted under state law.
It is well established by decisions of the Wisconsin Supreme Court that
"County Boards have only such legislative powers as are conferred upon
them by statute, expressly or by clear implication. Maier v. Racine
County 1 Wis. 2nd 384 (1957) ."
Thus it is my opinion that the County can not distribute the payments.in question to towns
unless there is a provision in the Wisconsin Statutes which authorizes the County to do so.
Section 59.20 (13) Wis. Stats. states that if the County receives "national forest income",
the County Treasurer shall "Make distribution thereof to the towns in the county wherein
national forest lands are situated...." However, since this section was enacted long before
Public Law 94-565 and uses the term "national forest income". I believe that it refers only
to payments received from national forest timber sales out of the so-called 25/ fund and not
to payments in lieu of taxes under Public Law 94-565.
I can find no other provision in the Statutes which authorizes the distribution of the
payments in question to towns. Accordingly, I must conclude that the County does not have
such authority. However, since the question you raise is an important one affecting a number
of counties and towns, I,recommend that we request an Attorney General's opinion on the question.
Sincerely yours,
William D. Bussey

Bayfield County Board

Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Board Members:
The Iron River Youth Organization, a federally funded crime prevention program -in Iron
River, has been in existence for about one year. Our ten -member youth committee is concerned
that the services provided by Joyce Meyer as Juvenile Specialist, might possibly be discon-
tinued.
The support and help we have received from Joyce Meyer cannot be emphasized enough. Her
dedication to kids has helped immensely in giving support to our program and its youth here
in Iron River.
It is difficult for one person directing a youth program such as ours, to do it without
the continued support of other people such as Joyce Meyer.

February 7, 1978
The youth committee in Iron River all hope to have the continued assistance and support of
Joy for the youth in Iron River.
We hope her job will continue to be funded so that the Bayfield County juveniles will not be
missing the services they need and deserve.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Iron River Youth Committee
