the cut made in the B.A.R.T. budget.
Jack Shubat, Transit Manager for B.A.R.T., also spoke to the board giving the board various
statistics about the transit system. He stated that 75% of the ridership is from Red Cliff to
Ashland; 45% of the riders are senior citizens or handicapped; 15% are students; and 40% are
adult riders. He further stated that according to their tabulations, 8% of the riders ride the
transit system for medical purposes; 40'0 are for employment purposes; 30'% are for personal
reasons; and 22% are for educational purposes.
Spears questioned if the rates were reasonable.
Shubat answered that they did not want to charge too much, because he felt that would
decrease ridership.
Ken Todd, Ashland County Board Chairman, also spoke to the board in favor of B.A.R.T.
Diana Strzok, Director of New Horizons North, spoke to the board explaining to them how
dependant their organization is on B.A.R.T. She informed the board that without B.A.R.T. they
would have to petition Unified Services for more money to run vans for their clients.
Mike Simon, citizen who rides B.A.R.T., spoke supporting the system stating that B.A.R.T,
is a viable and much needed service for the area.
Seidel questioned what would -happen to B.A.R.T. if Bayfield�County did not continue to support
it.
Don Chatfield, Department of Transportation, answered that }he county would no longer have
representation on the B.A.'R.T. committee, there would be a reduction of service and an increase in
fares.
November 23, 1982
Peg Stuber, 4-H Agent, next addressed the committee. She told the board about how one secretary
from her office.was put on the Coanty Board payroll so that she could be a floater secretary for
the entire courthouse. Stuber saw this as a 50% reduction in the secretary's time giving Mrs.
only a part time secretary in her office.
Richard Fredericks, Sheriff, was next to speak to the board. Fredericks told the board that
he is opposed to the Sheriff's Department budget.
He stated that according to the state average, we need two officers for every 1,000 people,
therefore, Bayfield County would need at least 24 officers. At the present time, Bayfield County
has eight officers. The total number of law enforcement officers in Bayfield County including
county and city officers only amounts to 15. Fredericks concluded by -saying that Bayfield County
is way below the state average of law enforcement officers.

Dear James:
On behalf of D. Schraufnag6_1 & Co., I would like to apoligize for the difficulties we've had with
the administration building roof, and to thank you for your patience in dealing with the matter.
As you are aware, we are confronted with a possible product failure, and are in the process of
defining the problem to the distributor, and at the same time, trying to keep the building from
leaking! Needless to say, we won't be billing the county for the remaining contract amount until
we get this problem worked out, and have completed the job to the county board's satisfaction.
Thanks again for your personal help, Jirr�and for the county board's patience concerning this
matter.

William Bussey, D.A., returned to the meeting to answer the questions the board had raised
regarding the hiring of a highway commissioner.
Bussey stated that there is no legal requirement that the position of commissioner be
advertised. He further stated that the Highway Commissioner is elected by the county board;
however, the county board could -instruct one committee to advertise the position, conduct
interviews, etc. This would be entirely up to the board. He also added that it would be unwise
to go through this procedure at this late date. If a Highway Commissioner is not elected before
the term of commissioner runs out, the county could lose some of their state allotment highway
funds.
Bussey recommended that a highway commissioner be elected right away and not to wait. He
further added that -the board could make a provision for upcoming years of how to deal with the
matter of advertising for the position, but at this late date, it is not recommended.
Bussey also stated that the duties of the highway commissioner are spelled out in the
Statutes.

this ordinance in order to secure uniform statewide regulation of traffic on the highways,
streets, and alleys of the State of Wisconsin.
Section 2. No operator of any motor vehicle shall excessively accelerate such vehicle to

Dear Mr. Strom:
The present legal rate we charge Bayfield County was approved in April of 1981. We had said
the rate would be good fora year, giving us a chance to compare it in relation to our steadily
increasing costs. A half year tardy, we are proposing a rate that would be effective for your
1983 calendar year. Well aware of the increasing pressure on the county board to hold down costs,
we ask_`for a five percent increase in the legal rates. That is only a few months short of a
2z%o increase per year.
Our percentage increase is broken down in the table below. Compared to the legal maximum rate
granted under State law, the county's rate for three papers is discounted 53%. The county has
the advantage of appearing in the Washburn TIMES, Bayfield County PRESS and Iron River PIONEER
for not much more than it costs to be in one of them.
We offer guaranteed circulation with all papers on a paid basis. Unlike publications sent
unrequested to box holders, our papers are well-read. And when a subscriber is inadvertently
missed, we are quick'to hear about it.
November 23, 1982
We are proud to be such long-standing county institutions, one paper over 100 years old and the
other two close to 90 years old. And we welcome suggestions.
We would expect this proposal to be referred to the Executive Committee.
consideration, we would be happy to appear in person if we,are notified.

BAYFIELD COUNTY PROPOSED BUDGET
FOR THE YEAR 1983
TO THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
The Executive Committee of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors submits this proposed
county budget for the year 1983 together with a report of operations.
VALUATION
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue has recommended a total county valuation for all real
and personal property of $449,932,900.00. The recommended value was approved by the county board
on September 28, 1982, and all 1982 county and state taxes will be apportioned accordingly. The
equalized valuation of the county shows an increase over the 1981 valuation of $24,501,650.00 or
5.75%. In 1981:Ithe increase was 7.56%.
COUNTY TAX LEVY & LEVY LIMITS
Section 70.62 of the Laws of 1975 created new levy limits on the county.
The 1981 county tax levy was 1,056,194.78 and with the allowable adjustments the 1982 levy
cannot be -,more than approximately $1,497,924.00. The levy as proposed by the Executive Committee
is $1,177,455.82. No amounts have been included in any of the department budgets for salary
increases for 1983. There is, however, an amount of $75,000.00 included in the contingent fund
which may take care of salary increases and other contingencies.
The committee has included in the 1983 budget in the revenue section an amount of $151,800.00
Federal Revenue Sharing monies. Due to more realistic budgeting in the revenue section for 1982,
there is no surplus cash available to be applied to the budget in 1983.
The county levy limit for 1983 has been increased due to the increases in state equalized
valuations and increased population, as well as by the lack of surplus cash that is not available
to decrease the 1982 levy.
The proposed county tax levy this year is $121,261.04 over the 1981 levy and is $320,468.18 below
the approximate allowable tax levy. This year after completion of the tentative budget by the
Executive Committee using budget figures as approved by various county board committees and
department heads as well as other estimated expenditures, the grand total expenditures amounted
to $3,961,929..31 with revenues of $2,369,147.56. With no surplus cash to apply, this would have
left a tax levy of $1,592,781.75. The levy would have been $94,857.75 over the allowable
approximate levy limit:
The committee could not recommend a budget with a tax levy over the tax levy limit and
even by adjusting the budget to bring it down to the levy limit, would have represented a county
tax levy increase of 41.8% over the 1981 levy. The committee agreed that it was --necessary to
make many drastic cuts to bring the county tax levy down to a more acceptable figure. Many
cuts were made in the budget as first compiled.
REVENUE SHARING FUNDS
The local tax effort (county levy) is an important factor used by the Federal and State
agencies in calculating the amount of Revenue Sharing Funds and State Shared taxes. Because
the county board has been very conservative in the early 70's, we are now suffering from decreased
revenues from those two sources. Unfortunately, there is a time lag of several years in the cal-
culation of the aids, and consequently, any increase in the tax levy -this -,,year will not have an
immediate effect on revenues.
PAYMENTS IN -LIEU -OF -TAXES
Bayfield County has received in 1982 $86,176 in -lieu -of -taxes on Federal Forest Lands. The
amount is less than the $115,781.00 received in 1981. The payments are based on 75� per acre on
Federal Forest Lands less the amount received as payment for timber harvest on said lands.
Pursuant to County Board action 75% of the money is being distributed to the towns in which the
Federal Forest Lands are located.
BAYFIELD COUNTY JAIL
Construction is completed on the new Bayfield County Jailand it has been occupied since
April.
NORTHERN LIGHTS MANOR REST HOME
The new county rest home has now been in use for approximately two and one half years.
There are now 68 patients in the new rest .home. There was at one time during the year a total
of 80 patients in the rest home.
HIGHWAYS
The amount of $206,607.78 in the Highway outlay only represents the amount included in the
county tax levy; other highway expenditures are not reflected in this budget. It does, however,
include $61,304.00 county aid for bridge construction.
4111ON
