In regard to the statement of taxes on the following described property; we would like to know
if this is the total amount needed to redeem our'�property? In a phone conversation with the
county treasurer, we understood that we should submit a letter to you. Will we receive title
back for the land when this amountis paid? There was a complete misunderstanding on'our part
about the taxes. Apparently we did not understand the tax bill that we received, as it must
have only been for the tax on our trailer. If there is•a redemption fee besides the tax, would
you please let us know?

Gentlemen:
I am writing this letter to you in regard to the unfortunate mistake made concerning the position
of the antenna for the Washburn High School's new FM station.
The problem goes as follows:
Over a year ago the school system applied for a grant to build its own FM radio station in the
school. The grant was approved.and we have put together our.own.s.tation. .At the same time, we
asked if it would be alright to place our antenna on the Sheriff's tower and this was approved
by.the.Sheriff.:._To our misfortune, due to a misunderstanding as to which tower was the old
sheriff's tower the tests (radius) were made for the tower located 250 FT west of Washington Ave.
namely the Highway Dept. tower. We started placing our antenna..on this tower only to find out
that it was not the Sheriff's tower, but it was the Highway Depts. and were ordered to stop
putting up our antenna until the matter was straightened out with the proper authorities.
We are asking you for permission to continue placing our antenna atop the Highway tower and place
our transmitter and the like in .the building at the base of this tower. If we are not given
permission to use this site for our antenna, we will be forced to apply for another license and
building permit which will once again delay for a great time the beginning of our broadcasting
on our new FM radio station. At the present time we are all set to broadcast, but we need the
antenna and also, the phone company is all set to put in our transmission lines as soon as we
set up the antenna.
This whole misunderstanding plus the slowness of the FCC to issue our license and building permit
(which took almost a year) is causing the students involved in this project to :lose interest in
something that will benefit the entire community as well as much of this area.
Please consider this most worthwhile project and the implications that it will have on the people
of the area as well as the wonderful educational.opporutnities that it will afford our students
now in the future.
We will be impatiently awaiting your answer to this most urgent problem.
Thank you in advance for your every consideration in this -'problem.
Sincerely,
John L. Justice
and the Radio Communications Class of
Washburn High School

consent of the Highway Committee. Motion carried..

WHEREAS, Said Order, as amended by a further Order of the Court in said law suit
dated June 14th, 1979, provides that the defendants shall reimburse Bayfield County for
the expense of providing such services on a monthly -basis and further provides that the
County may terminate such services upon ten (10) days notice if the defendants fail to reimburse
the County for such expenses by the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month following the month
in which they were incurred; and
WHEREAS, Bayfield County has not been fully reimbursed for such expenses for the past
several months;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, By the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors that the Executive
Committee of said Board is hereby authorized to.or.der termination of.sewage treatment services
to the Port Superior Complex, in accordance with the aforesaid Court Orders,.if all amounts
due for sewage treatment services provided to said Complex since the issuance of said Court

Tom Gordon, Red Cliff Tribal Council, appeared before the baord to discuss Red Cliff Law
Enforcement.
He told the board that the $2,500 that the board denied the Red Cliff Law Enforcement during
their budgeting process will put the Law Enforcement out of business. Gordon stated that the
$2,500 was needed for insurance and gas in the new automobile that was purchased by funds.
Gordon also told the board that they would be spending more by using their own deputies to
patrol the Red Cliff area and this would also leave another area in the county unprotected.

It was also brought up that the Red Cliff police department helps the Bayfield Police also.
Dick Fredericks stated that in his opinion the service the Red Cliff police provided was worth

Mr. Ed Dashner

Dear Mr. Dashner:
Let me start out by thanking the 51.42 Board for allocating time for me on the agenda, and
apologize for not being able to appear in person.
I would like to respond to some statements that were made at your last meeting regarding spending
by the Bayfield County Alcohol and Drug Center. Because we had a counselor resign during the
year and that position not filled, we were in the position to finish out the year with some monies
left over. Due to a lot of confusing and conflicting statements by various program directors, we
were given no bond and fast guidelines as to what to do with the carry-over monies. Our Board
of Directors decided to spend the carry-over monies in such a fashion so as to alleviate the
problem of having no operating funds for the month of January. I can assure you that there was
never any intent to mis-allocate or misuse these funds in any way.
Dp.ring the latter half of 1980 various members of the Bayfield County Alcohol and Drug Center, my
self included, were active and eager participants in Plan and Budget Committee meetings. We
were initially surprised and dismayed to discover that the amount of funding for our agency had
been out to $55,000.00. This represented a severe blow to our plans and expectations for 1981.
However, we were and are well aware of fiscal pressures on the County, so we decided to do the
best we could at that level of funding and to strive to supplement that $55,000.00 with such
things as aggressively seeking third -party pay and various grants that might become available dur-
ing 1981.
Unfortunately for us, and for the people in Bayfield County who require and desperately need our
services, our level of funding has been cut again. For some reason, unbeknowst to me, we have
been tendered contracts which total less than $40,000.00. This amount represents approximately
one-half of the amount of money we need in order to continue to provide the level of services
we have been providing one-half. Because' -of this disasterous cut, we have been forced to cut
our staff by one position and are looking at other possible cuts. The net result of this funding
cut is a reduction of services available to Bayfield County residents.
I cannot stress to you how frustrating these funding cuts have been, We want to be able to provide
the level of service that the county requires, and deserves, but we cannot. I'm sorry.
Thank -you for your time.

Dear Mr. Lowe:
Energy programming assistance will be provided to 3 or 4 city and county governments in 1981
by the Local Governments Project of the Wisconsin Energy Extension Service (WEES). Out staff
is now seeking governments that have committed or are willing to commit.resources to a local
energy effort. As a county extension agent, you are an integral part of a local network and we
would like your help in selecting communities as well as in developing,the local energy programs.
In 19805 our staff worked with Fond du Lac County, developing a ten year "energy management plan"
for all sectors of the local economy. The county board recently approved this plan.as well as
a half-time staff position to help the volunteer Advisory Council implement the plan. The ideas,
materials, and orgainization developed in the Fond du Lac project will now be. -used to help other
communities create their own programs.
WEES project staff, UW-'Extension faculty and other resource people will provide technical and
organizational support to "compliment local initiatives." This could range from local demonstrat
projects, such as building energy audits, to a long range energy plan for government Facilities.
WEES and the County agents will work closely with community leaders to assess the situations
and determine what level of activity would be appropriate. -
The commun.ities:s-alecte,d will be encouraged to establish a committee made up of various department
representatives and elected officials which would be responsible for developing energy programs
and plans. Ideally, and extension agent or -some other local community leader would work closely
with this committee. WEES staff would meet intensively with the committee initially until a
momentum is established, and then sporadically according to the needs of the local programs.
We would like to select our communities by mid -February and conduct start-up meetings through
the end of March. I hope you will be able to assist us in this effort. If your county, or city
governments within your county, have strong interests in energy, we would like to meet with
them. Any assistance you could provide in establishing these contacts and developing the program
would be welcome.
For further information, contact Jim Dorr or Jim McNichol at 414-963-5090, or Bill Bernhagen at
608-263-1662, or leave your number and we will get back to you.
Sincerely,

ZONING COMMITTEE

Good day,
We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Lee Newman, Bear Trail Lodge, Route 1, Iron River, WI 54847,
dated January 11, 1981. See enclosed photocopy.
He states in said letter that the Bayfield County Highway Committee has given him permission to
place his Bear Trail Lodge sign at its present location on the County Highway H right—of-way at
his driveway.
We at Town of Delta Zoning Committee would appreciate a written verification of Mr. Newman'.;s

If you can give us..no such verification, we would appreciate a statement of your action con-
cerning the above said sign.
Thank you.

RE: Zoning Board, Town of Delta
Dear Sirs,
I would like to inform you that we cannot conform with your directive to remove our main
entrance.aign at Bear Trail Lodge at this time.
We feel that State statutes clearly indicated that authority for placement of such signs is
specifically vested in the County. (See Chapter Hy. 10.02 of Wisconsin Administrative Codes.)
We have been given said permission by the Bayfield County Highway Committee, and Mr. Swen
Soderstrom of that Committee has informed officials of the Town of Delta of that permission.
He also asked the Town of Delta to cooperate in letting our sign remain in its present location.
In addition, we feel that Town zoning regarding signs is still not being equitably enforced.
We have pointed out many situations where violations exist, and the Town has done nothing to
enforce these codes.
Until such time as the Town can demonstrate that it has proper authority over our sign and that
it is enforcing sign regulations against all violating signs in the township, we intend to take
no action on our sign.
