Brenda Spurlock, Criminal Justice Coordinator, for Bayfield County has been with us for 11 years. Spurlock welcomed all new members and thanked the past members. Bayfield County is an excellent county to work for being that they do not do the status quo of other counties. The Bayfield County Criminal Justice Program was established in 1999 and staffed with a full- time employee beginning in 2005. This department coordinates criminal justice efforts, programs and initiatives. The Board was given a copy of her report, which she spoke from giving a more detailed view of how her office works.

Senator Bewley arrived and thanked the Board for the opportunity to be here. Bewley spoke first on the most recent “shock” regarding the shooting in our community. A tragedy such as this seems to bring a community close and the people within will rally around one another to get through the difficult days. There will be much frustration and tension as a result, but those affected 190 will try to mend the broken lives as a result of this unfortunate act of violence. Bewley then went on to explain the background of her office as a Senator. There is also tension and frustration, not in this capacity, but in other day to day operations working with the State and Federal Governments working with each other for the betterment of the towns, cities and villages. She explained the working cycle of the Senate and that they are not in session presently, which is why everyone will be out campaigning shortly. What she wants to talk about specifically, which pertains to Bayfield County is clarifying local control. You have the tendency to look at and determine if you have such control. This is what the County did in the case of the CAFO. You looked at your laws and claimed that you had some jurisdiction over this. Bayfield County stated that they want a decision in a topic such as this for what is best for Bayfield County. She spoke more on the topic and the new topic of the game farm for elk and deer coming up. Questions will arise on this as well. She presented a magazine which helps States pass legislation to pass laws before you even think or know about it. There are many unfunded mandates within the budget, many you know about and she recited a few. There are many limits to local control. The role that she must do is to decide what is in the best interest of Bayfield County, and she stated she does and will do just that. Bewley took questions from the Board. Pocernich thanked the Senator for her time and likewise the Senator thanked the Board for allowing her to speak. At 10:25 am the Board recessed for a short break. 6. Bayfield County Resolution No. 2016-23, Regarding NACO Stepping Up Initiative. Spurlock explained that nationally this is an issue. Hospitals and jails treat more mentally disturbed people than institutions themselves. This is a way to convert problems and expenses for these individuals and families. The Stepping Up Program, is encouraging public, private, and non-profit partners to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in jails. This doesn’t cost any money to the County. If you pass this Resolution tonight, it simply states that Bayfield County is willing to step up. If we chose another road to go down that would be a County decision which may come down the line. We presently send mentally ill patients to facilities where they can get help. We need to keep people in house, keeping them closer to home and their families. We should look at facilities that would be useful for this. The Board dispensed with the reading of the Resolution, which reads as follows: WHEREAS, counties routinely provide treatment services to the estimated 2 million people with serious mental illnesses booked into jail each year; and WHEREAS, prevalence rates of serious mental illnesses in jails are three to six times higher than for the general population; and WHEREAS, almost three-quarters of adults with serious mental illnesses in jails have co-occurring substance use disorders; and WHEREAS, adults with mental illnesses tend to stay longer in jail and upon release are at a higher risk of recidivism than people without these disorders; and 191 WHEREAS, county jails spend two to three times more on adults with mental illnesses that require interventions compared to those without these treatment needs; and WHEREAS, without the appropriate treatment and services, people with mental illnesses continue to cycle through the criminal justice system, often resulting in tragic outcomes for these individuals and their families; and WHEREAS, Bayfield County and all counties take pride in their responsibility to protect and enhance the health, welfare and safety of its residents in efficient and cost- effective ways; and WHEREAS, Bayfield County has worked hard in and out of the jail setting to develop cognitive-behavioral programs that address dual diagnoses issues and support safely diverting people by offering mental health and substance use disorder treatment in the community; and WHEREAS, through Stepping Up, the National Association of Counties, the Council of State Governments Justice Center and the American Psychiatric Association Foundation are encouraging public, private and nonprofit partners to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in jails. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors, assembled this 19th day of April, 2016, hereby sign on to the Call to Action to reduce the number of people with mental illnesses in our county jail, commit to sharing lessons learned with other counties in my state and across the country to support a national initiative and encourage all county officials, employees and residents to participate in Stepping Up. We resolve to utilize the comprehensive resources available through Stepping Up to:  Convene or draw on a diverse team of leaders and decision makers from multiple agencies committed to safely reducing the number of people with mental illnesses in jails.  Collect and review prevalence numbers and assess individuals’ needs to better identify adults entering jails with mental illnesses and their recidivism risk, and use that baseline information to guide decision making at the system, program, and case levels.  Examine treatment and service capacity to determine which programs and services are available in the county for people with mental illnesses and co-occurring substance use disorders, and identify state and local policy and funding barriers to minimizing contact with the justice system and providing treatment and supports in the community.  Develop a plan with measurable outcomes that draws on the jail assessment and prevalence data and the examination of available treatment and service capacity, while considering identified barriers.  Implement research-based approaches that advance the plan.  Create a process to track progress using data and information systems, and to report on successes. By Action of the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Dennis M. Pocernich, Chair A motion was made by Crandall/Fickbohm to adopt Bayfield County Resolution No. 2016-23, Regarding NACO Stepping Up Initiative. The motion carried. 192 7. Report of the Bayfield County Planning & Zoning Committee Regarding Amendments to Section 13-1-63 of the Bayfield County Code of Ordinances, Town of Russell Overlay District. Rob Schierman, Zoning Director, was present to explain the Report to the Board. In 2005 an Ordinance was passed which has now become known as Town of Russell Overlay District. They have set different guidelines for protecting their area. There is a need for some changes to be made to this Overlay to reduce acreage thresholds and the beaurocratic process. There is also recognizing that some areas within the Town of Russell are referred to as historic. The question arises as to whether they wrote up which area was a historic site, for example different school sites are historic. The Town wants to put a sign on the area to recognize that spot. Discussion turned to old growth forest which is part of this area. Discussion then took place on the Overlay itself. The town is asking us to make some revisions to the County Ordinance through changes to the overlay regarding acreage and being able to break it down. The Board dispensed with the reading of the Report, which reads as follows: TO: The County Board of Supervisors of Bayfield County on the hearing of petitions to amend the Bayfield County Zoning Ordinance.
