No. 9
.Mark Mubller, Northwest Regional Planning Commission, and Phil Rasmussen, Lakewo ods Resort, were present
.to discuss a Block Grant Program for the Lakewoods Rinort in Cable, Wisconsin.
Mueller explainedthat in order to q�ialify for a -block grant, the grant must be used for: 1) housing,
public facilities, or 3) economic development.
Phil Rasmussen then spoke to the board stating that the Lakewoods eml5loyed approximately 42 people
re the fire; now only 2 people are working. He also stated that the total project cost to rebuild
d be $1,300,000 and they did not have that type of insurance coverage. Rasmussen stated that under the
k Grant Program, Bayfield County would apply for this grant. If they qualify, the money requested would
e granted to.the county for them to borrow out at a set interest rate. Lakewoods would then pay back the
ounty the grant plus interest. The county,is then free to use this money again for this type of service.
* funds will come from.the county at all --the county will just have to administer the grant money once it
* received.
Rasmussen stated that there was a 20 year payback period.
It was asked if these funds are readily available.
;—

Mueller answered that at.this time the availability of these funds is very good.
Rasmussen stated that right now he was not sure if he was going to pursue the Block Grant solution or
not. He wanted to make sure that that route would be open to him if he chose to pursue it. � He stated that
if he obtains funds through the Block Grant'Program, all wages paid to the workers on the project must be
state approved wages; therefore, he would be paying a lot more in wages than he would if he bid it out
locally. However, if he bids it out locally he would not receive the block grant and would be paying a
higher interest rate from a lending institution.
Moved by Erickson and seconded by McGowan to authorize the Executive Committee to enter into the
Block Grant Program Agreement.

of Corporation Counsel work gets pushed aside because of the demands on his time. He stated there is p
legislation that would provide state funding for the D.A.'s position. He stated this would free up some
money to be used for additional help. Bussey stated that matters such as the Schraufnagel suit on the
courthouse roof take up a great deal of his time, and if the board could retain an attorney to take care of
the courthouse roof litigation it would be extremely helpful.
The following resolution was read: No. 10a
