Minutes of the
TOURISM & RECREATION COMMITTEE OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 3:00 p.m.
County Board Room, Bayfield County Courthouse, Washburn, WI
Members Present: Brett Rondeau, Bucky Jardine, Rusty Williams, John Bennett, Neil Schultz
Members Absent: none
Others Present: Mary Motiff, Sue Trepanier, Paul Susienka, Linda Coleman & Scott Galetka
I. Call to Order: The meeting was called to order at 3:00 p.m. by Rondeau.
II. Motion Regarding August 6, 2012 Meeting Minutes: Motion (Jardine, Bennett) to approve the
minutes from the August 6, 2012 committee meeting. Motion Carried.
III. Public Comment: None.
IV. Discussion and Possible Action on Additional Use of County-Owned Portion of Railroad Grade for
County Trail System: Use of the County-owned portion of the grade north of Cable and the
different types of deeds/right-of-ways/easements were discussed. Corporation Counsel, Linda
Coleman’s position is that we can use the County-owned parcels in question. Rondeau would like
to see a connector trail for ATVs from Cable to Drummond. The club is working on different
options for this, but use of the County-owned portions of the grade will be critical for this to
happen. By consensus of the Committee, Motiff & Rondeau will set up a meeting with one
landowner to discuss usage of a privately owned portion of the grade for ATVs.
VI. Suggestions for Agenda Items for Next Committee Meeting: Follow up from landowner meeting.
X. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned at 4:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by:
Sue Trepanier
