SIGNED: Bayfield County Zoning Committee -- Renoos,.Soderstrom, Bromberg, McGillivray, Maki Affidavits of publication and other correspondence on file. No. 11 Jim Crandall, Clerk Town of Drummond and Paul Rose, supervisor from the Town of Chippewa, next addressed the board regarding the in -lieu of taxes monies paid to the towns. Crandall first explained to the board what the in -lieu of taxes monies are and asked for the board's support in trying to straighten out the matter of distribution of the money. Crandall asked that the board write a letter to the state legislature asking them to clarify how the in -lieu of taxes monies are distributed. Paul Rose next spoke saying that he is planning to meet with other county boards and he had just finished meeting with the Ashland County Board. The Ashland County Board agreed with Rose saying that they believe the money should be distributed to the towns but they added that their legal council advised that they were without power to pass these funds over to the towns. He then handed the clerk the following letter to read: No. lla Ashland County District Attorney Courthouse Ashland, WI 54806 Senator Daniel 0. Theno 25th Senate District Rm. 408 South State Capitol Madison, WI 53702 Representative David R. Redrowski 74th Assembly District Rm. 112 West State Capitol Madison, WI 53702 Gentlemen: As you can see by the enclosed photocopy of a February 13, 1979, Opinion of Wisconsin Attorney General Bronson C. La Follette, Attorney General La Follette is of the opinion that a county in Wisconsin is without power to distribute payments in lieu of taxes monies to the towns in which the national forest lands are located. The Attorney General indicates he is unaware of any Wisconsin Statute which would authorize a county board to directly appropriate all or any part of these federal monies to a town on the premise that certain entitled lands are located within the boundaries of such town. Numerous members of the County Board of Supervisors of Ashland County are of the opinion that a county in Wisconsin should have the authority to authorize appropriation of a portion of these federal monies to the towns in which the entitlement lands are located to try to create a more equitable situation. There, no doubt, are numerous,. arguments for and against such a distribution but many members of the Ashland County Board of Supervisors feel the individual counties should have the power to make a determination as to whether such a distribution should occur within its county. This letter is being written because the County Board of Supervisors of Ashland County, at its June 26, 1980, meeting, voted that -the State Legislators representing Ashland County be contacted regarding this situation to see if such legislators are willing to look into this situation to see whether legislation would be appropriate giving the counties express authority to distribute part of the payments in liue of taxes monies to the towns in which the entitlement lands are located. Your attention to this matter is appreciated. Thank You. Respectfully, Matthew F. Anich District Attorney Ashland,County, Wisconsin cc: Kenneth Todd, County Board Chairman Horace M. Havner, Ashland County Clerk Ruth Giese, Ashland County Treasurer No action was taken on -the letter. Renoos then stated that Bayfield County's distribution of money to the towns was not illegal and any county had the power to distribute their funds in the same manner. This concluded the presentation of Rose and Crandall. The following report was read: No. 12 REPORT OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY'ZONING COMMITTEE TO: The County Board of Supervisors of Bayfield County on the hearing on the petitions to amend the Bayfield County Zoning,Ordinance.

August 5, 1980 The following letter was read: July 23, 1980 Bayfield County Fair Board Washburn, WI 54891. Dear Gentlemen: No. 16 This letter is.:written favoring the selling of beer during the racing times on Friday, August 15, and Sunday, August 17. The Iron River Speedway Association would like to have the Fair Board grant permission for the selling of beer during these mentioned times for the following reasons: The selling of the beer would be in,a controlled area, away from the.major.ity of the crowd and proper enforcement would be in effect with a ticket necessary to enter the area and no beer allowed to leave this area. This would help to prevent smuggling of beer and other alcoholic beverages into the Fairgrounds which has taken place in the past. The beer would be sold in cans rather than glass containers. This would be a safety factor for everyone including children in the grandstand area and for the cleanup crew. The selling of beer would take place during.the night-time racing, therefore, many young children will have left the Fairgrounds and not be involved. The Association needs the revenue from the selling of their concessions, both food and beer, during this time to pay the purse of $2,575.00, $500.00 for the announcer, wreckers, ambulance, and welder as well as $800.00 for insurance. .Besides racing, .the drawing card of selling good and beer will bring more people to the races during Fair time. Thus bringing more revenue to both parties involved and.help to.make them each self sufficient. Also, the money made during the weekly races and Fair races helps the Association improve the track.and grandstand area. This money comes from.the selling of food and beer. When the Fair- grounds are used, itis a benefit.to both the Association and the Fair Board.. Selling of beer and food during all of our races including Fair time, makes it possible for the Association to continue its program of racing and entertainment for the Iron River area as well as surrounding areas. Truly a community.. service provided by the Association as well as by the Fair Board. When organizations work together,good things are bound to happen. Thank you for your cooperation for any consideration in this important matter. Sincerely, Iron River Speedway Association, Inc. Richard Lind., President Iron River, WI 54847. Moved by Meierotto and seconded by Erickson to deny.the.request. The clerk stated that he had on file the following petitions signed by Bayfield County residents: No. 16a We the undersigned, residents of Bayfield County, oppose the sale of alcoholic beverages at the Bayfield County Fair. - (Names on file in the County Clerk's office) To-ta-1_of_. 57 names _ on_f_ile The clerk.next:read the following letter: No 16h .,. August 5,.1980 TO: BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Dear Board Members: As a 4-H leader and parent -with a concern for our youth,- especially the eight to eighteen year old boys and girls, I feel there should be no beer sold on the Bayfield County Fairgrounds in Iron River on August 14-17, including the grandstand area during the stock car races. Beer being available at one place on the fairgrounds could spread. Let us remember that the County Fair is a place for the young and mature to show their learned skills -of -achievement., Sincerely, Marilyn Korseberg, President Bayfield County 4-H Leaders Assn:.; Moved by Maki and seconded by Bromberg to open the meeting to the floor. Motion carded. August 5.1980 Richard Lind, President of the Racing Association, stated that the gate admission to get into the races will be lowered but the prizes for the racers will remain the same, therefore, the sale of beer will help immensely in paying off the deficit. Fred Jaronitsky, Town of Iron River, addressed the board giving his views in favor of selling beer at the races. He also stated that the beer will be sold in a controlled area only during the races and not before or after the races. Margaret Stuber, 4-H agent for..Bayfield County, addressed the board stating that Bayfield Co would be making a big mistake by selling -beer at the fair. She further stated that the fair is an educational event and not a money making event. Clayton.Howk then addressed the -board voicing his opposition to the sale of beer at the fair by reading the following letter: No. 16c Members of the Bayfield County Board: My name is Clayton Howk, I have lived and paid taxes in Bayfield County for over 35 years. We often hear of moderation in the use of alcohol liquors. Moderation for some is all they can stow away. We also hear alcoholism is a disease, as far as I know, it's the only one you can buy put up tan `a bottle that effects each member of the family. I ask you to look at these two dates --July 23rd and July 30th, Ashland County court. A total of 122 cases, 10 of these alcohol was the violation. The others speeding, reckless driving, hit and run. Many of these were people just passing through. Some of them used No. 2 through Iron River at all hours of the day and night. I hear of beer and'other liquor being smuggled into the fairgrounds,.then on sale beer could also be smuggled out to , or with a gang of teenagers. We also hear that Bayfield County is the only or one- of the few, that dgesn':t allow beer sales in the fairgrounds. If other counties want to promote drunken driving on their roads, we don't have to follow their lead. Let's be leaders in the right direction and promote safe highways for local use as well as visitors. All the profit you make on beer sales couldn;-t pay for one life, the grief of a family torn apart, by someone that drank too much and couldn't walk so he had to drive.. . Thank you for the consideration of appearing to speak for myself and others who neither had the time or couldn't express their wishes. CLAYTON B. HOWK Dale Maki stated that from his knowledge there is no rowdiness at these events, and also stated that the area where the beer will be sold will be a controlled area and only served during the races. He further added that the Racing Association has made at their own expense, some improvements in the grandstand area and the extra revenue received from the sale of.beer will allow them to make additional improvements. Carl Anderson then spoke stating that alcoholism and drinking, especially among teenagers, is a major problem and that in no way should Bayfield County sponsor or participate in something that will damage our youth. McGillivray questioned Lind as to how long the races last. Lind answered that they would last approximately four hours. McGillivray also questioned what method the beer is to be sold by. Lind answered that the beer will only be sold in one controlled and policed area and proof -of age would be required in order to purchase beer. August 5, 1980 Rosalind Wilcox, secretary for the Racing Association, and 4-H leader, next addressed the board stating -that she has seen the smuggling of alcohol into the fairgrounds. She felt that if you sell the alcohol in a controlled area with extrapolicing there would probably be less of a chance of smuggling into the fairgrounds. Wallace Johnson stated that this is a county sponsored event for the youth in the area and the county should not take a part in the selling of beer at an event for the youth. Moved by Bromberg and seeDnded by Rave to reconvene as a county board. Motion carried. The question was asked on the motion to deny the request of the Racing Association to sell beer during the races on the fairgrounds.

The specifid level they were askingfor.-would be.$6,100. Ashland County's share of the cost would be $7,500. Don Chatfield, Department of Transportation, then passed out a handout showing the division of cost between the various cities and counties. Bromberg stated that the Unified Services Board has been looking for ways to.save money and this proposed transportation system would give them a considerable savings in the cost of trans- porting the developmentally disabled clients. August. 5 , 1980 Renoos questioned what we�are paying per mile to provide these services.. Bromberg answered that we pay for'one`van approximately $3,500 plus 25� per mile plus the driver. Renoos stated that his chief complaint was the breakdown of cost between Ashland and Bayfield County. Renoos further added that the city of Ashland's share for the system would only be $1.,86-2 while Bayfield County's share would be $3,761. Soderstrom then stated that the southern part of the county will not benefit from this transportation system at all, therefore, he could not see why they;should-be made to pay for it.

August. 5., 1980 The following letter: was read: No..22' Camp Horseshoe on Horseshoe Lakes MinQng, WI 54859 Chairman: Bayfield County Board Washburn, WI 548.91 Dear Board Members: - I am writing to you for all the boys.that:attend Camp,Horseshoe each.summer in regard to the proposed DNR acquisition of the Bibon Swamp. We would like to go on record as being against the proposal... For many years, Camp Horseshoe has owned the SW4 of the NW-4 of Section 18-T 45N-R 6W in Grandview Township. Theboys of Camp Horseshoe have built_ a primitive campsite on the property and enjoy the use of the area many times during the summer months. They have also constructed a sign welcoming all and asking cooperation in. keeping the area. clean and. natural... This has been very successful and besides teaching the boys ecology and conservation they have learned that other people µsifag the out-of-doors can be as considerate of nature as they have learned to be. We all feel that the DNR which already has 66 feet on the stream really needs no more to properly manage the fish population. Our further experiences, over the years, have been that the private land owners have done an .excellent job in keeping things natural and allowing others to make use of their land. The DNR cannot better this record. We hope that you will agree that private ownership is a keystone of the American way of life and that government ownership, necessary in some instances, is not the only answer. The 180 boys of Camp Horseshoe hope that you will not give in to the DNR on this issue and that they will be allowed this piece of your county to continue to remain, as it has been in the past. Respectfully, Robert P. Mercier. Moved by Anderson and seconded by Wickman to receive the letter and place it on file. No. 23 Bob Becker, Department of Natural Resources, next addressed the board•on the Bibon Marsh area. He spoke briefly on the results of the environmental impact statement before introduing Bill Richi to the board who would give more detailed information about the study. Bill Richi first presented to the clerk two summary reports and copies of all the responses from the environmental impact statement. Some of ;the issues that were brought up from the environ- mental Impact Statement were:: the carrying capacity --how many people the Bibon Marsh can accomodate what will be the future use of the marsh; mining in'the marsh area --which was, not generally accepted; and the snowmobiling issue --on which some people -felt that snowmobiles were not consistent with what a natural area is all about. Anderson then questioned if these responses LWere responses received over a period of years or just from these previous meetings.'. �' ­ ' -­ Richi answered that these particular responses were just responses from this environmental impact statement. He said, however, -that all responses that have been received will be taken into consideration. Clerk Pajala told the board that he wound make copies of the two summary reports and :of all the responses for allithe-county board members. This concluded the presentation on the Bibon Marsh area. No. 24 D. E. Stanius; architect, next addressed°'the board -on: the renovation!of the old Rest Home into a jail facility.

Clerk Pajala then questioned Wallace Johnson if he felt the Executive Committee could handle the matter of the construction of the jail facility up to the bidding stage or whether I he thought that it.would be adviseable for the county board to authorize the committee to call for bids on construction. Johnson said that it would be appropriate if the county.board would authorize the committee to proceed through the bidding stage. A motion was made by Bromberg and seconded by Maki to give the Executive Committee the authority to`carry the jail construction project through the bidding stage., Motion carried. It was pointed out that the county board would give the final approval or disapproval for the bids.

Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce July 31, 1980 Bayfield County Board of Supervisors 117 E. 5th Washburn, WI 54891 Gentlemen:, On behalf of the Board of Directors of -the Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce, I would like to voice our unanimous support of the proposed Chequamegon Bay Transportation System. Aside from the benefits derived by Highway 13 corridor residents regarding medical, educational and service center accessibility, the proposed transportation plan also carries a tremendous energy savings to those Ashland and Bayfield County residents who must commute, -for employment purposes, to area served by the proposed transportation plan. Senior citizens; handicapped persons and non -drivers would also benefit from the greater accessibility to required services, family and friends outside of their immediate residential area. Benefits to -the tourism industry are also far reachingo Through a transportation system; larger numbers of people can be transported more efficiently and comfortably, offering greater accessib ty to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Madeline Island, Washburn and Bayfield. Realizing that unanimous support from various governmental agencies and communities is essential for the proposed Chequamegon Bay Transit System to work successfully, we urge the Bayfield County Supervisors to favorably consider this proposal. Please know that the Ashland Chamber supports the concept of mass transportation on the Highway 13 corridor. We will do what we can, within our means, to work towards a successful and result. Sincerely, Lee Jensen Executive Direct(ix City of Ashland City Hall Ashland, WI 54806 Bayfield County Board Mr. Ed Pajala, Clerk Washburn Court House 119 Washburn Ave. Washburn, WI 54891 Gentlemen: I noted of great interest the article in the July 12, 1980, Daily Press concerning Bayfield County's participation in a Regional Bus Service system proposed by Wisconsin Department of Transportation representatives. If indeed the City of Ashland was contributing only $1,390.00 for the first six months of such service, then I would consider your concerns valid. -However, the actual contribution from the City of Ashland to the system is $14,400.00 which is larger than any other single contributor to the system. August '5, 1980 e*L.4 io: uea�, 7, CmA-kj It is only through Ashland's eligibility to obtain both Federal Section 18 funds and State Section 85.05 funds that the actual amount paid from City funds is reduced to $1,390.00. The amount to be paid into the system remains at $14,400.00. The balance of $13,010.00 goes directly to the operatiaz_of this system as 90.3 percent of the City's share. Ashland's eligibility to obtain these funds is a boon to the entire system and adds substantially to the feasibility'of such a system. I call your attention to Mr. Wilson's published comment, "That unless the City of Ashland purchases services from the system, the operating deficit will increase." The system, as proposed by Wisconsin Department of'Transportatin, gives all of us the opportunity to realize mutual benefits through cooperation. By pooling our resources, we can provide mass transit services to the people we represent more�eco,nomically than any single effort to provide the same service. I strongly urge your support of such a system. I will be happy to meet with you and the Members of the Board at anytime todiscussthis vital_project. - Looking forward to working with you, I remain, Sincerely, Edward G. Wagner, Mayor EGW/pmh CC.: Don Wilson, Dept.- of Transportation Daily Press Peoples Forum Moved by Renoos and seconded by Johnson to receive the letters and place them on file. Motion carried.
