No. 3
Carl Anderson brought up the matter of the composition of the various county committees.
Anderson stated that he was of the opinion that the committee structure should be changed as he
felt that the system of having the chairman of the various committees act as the Executive
Committee was not the best way.. Anderson thought that it would be better to have the Executive
Committee elected by the county board the same way as the highway committee is elected and that
committee would then act in no other capacity except as the Executive Committee. Stephenson
agreed with Anderson except Stephenson thought that the Executive Committee could then also act
as the County Personnel Committee stating that he thought that it was also wrong for the Per-
sonnel Committee members to be sitting on some other committee. Moved by Stephenson, seconded
by Renoos that the possibility of changing the committee structure be referred to the Executive
Committee for study. Motion carried.

The following resolution was read: No. 27
WHEREAS, Bayfield County has long recognized the desirability of preserving the Bibon Marsh
in its natural and existing condition, and
WHEREAS, in furtherance of this objective, the Bayfield County Board requested the Department
of Natural Resources to explore alternatives and conduct a feasibility study of the area, and
of
WHEREAS, in March 1978 the County Board requested the DNR to prepare a master plan which
would include alternatives for land control, evaluation of financial gain or loss to the county
and townships in which the marsh is located and to consider desired or optimum acreage to be
under public ownership; it being understood that the County Board would have input into the master
plan, and
WHEREAS, the DNR has prepared the requested master plan and the Department has conducted
three public informational meetings and has modified the drafted master plan to accomodate public
concerns wherever possible, and
WHEREAS, Bayfield County is a major property owner in the Bibon Marsh area and has available
a number of alternatives regarding disposition or use of this land, and
WHEREAS, the-Bayfield County Board recognizes and supports the concept of preserving this

WHEREAS, the Bayfield County Board has not had sufficient time to evaluate all of the

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board in session this 17th day of
April, 1979 recommends to the DNR that an environmental impact statement be prepared and that both
information and formal hearing procedures be followed to insure the public the opportunity for

James Stephenson Art Meierotto Larry Seidel Edwin Erickson Edwin Renoos Walter Ba
Moved by Stephenson, seconded by Meierotto to adopt the foregoing resolution.
Bob Becker, Dave Jacobson, Jerry Reickhoff and Bob Dreiss were presenting representing the
DNR. Jacobson made the presentation to the board for the DNR. He again reviewed the history of
the project informing the board that the DNR had become interested in the project because of
their concern for preserving the area in its natural state. He reminded the board that the
Bayfield County Board did initially ask the.DNR.to make.a study of the marsh area and he stated
that the original master plan has been revised and in the last revision the boundaries have been
changed so that there is now a total of about 13,500 acres within the boundaries. He pointed out
on a map showing that an area intended for a look -out on the south side has been deleted and that
a large area on the north side which included several farms has also been deleted. Jacobson again
commented on the statements that have been made regarding the possibility of condemnation of
private property in the area. He said that the DNR has no intention of condemning any property
in the area, but that they cannot put language into the lease agreement definitely stating that
the property will never be condemned. He said that condemning is done by the governor and
legislature and not by the DNR Board and the DNR cannot put language into the lease restricting
the powers of the legislature. He again stated as he has many times in the past that there
are many more desirable parcels in the state that the DNR would wish to acquire and they still
have not even condemned those parcels.
r
Several questions were raised by board members which were answered by Jacobson. Jacobson
stated that he noted that the resolution provides for holding the decision of the County Board
in abeyance and that the County Board was recommending that an Environmental Impact Statement
,I would be done at DNR expense with no charge to the county and he stated that was definitely so
that there would not be any county participation in the cost.

Dear Mr. Pajala:
Thank you for sending President Carter a copy of Resolution No. 26, which addressed potential
wilderness designation in the Chequamegon National Forest. The recommended allocations were
contained in that RARE II Final Environmental Statement which was filed January 4, 1979.
At the present time the RARE II Final Environmental Statement is undergoing the required inter-
agency review. Additionally, Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland asked involved Governors
and members of Congress for their reaction. Following this, the Administration will send a
legislative proposal to Congress. The proposal may then be the subject of_congressional hearings
and inquiries. The final determination of areas to be included in the National Wilderness
Preservation System will be made by Congress.
Sincerely,
John R. McGuire
Chief
