The Wisconsin Towns Association and the Town of =
AB 260, a priority bill of the Association, passed =
both
houses of the State legislature and is available for the Governor to =
sign the
bill into law. The Wisconsin Towns Association and Town of
AB 260 reverses a 2003 Wisconsin Supreme Court case =
(Wood v. City of Madison) which =
provided
that cities and villages could deny plats within their extraterritorial =
areas
(which is town land within 3 miles of the cities over 10,000 in =
population, and
1 =BD miles of a city under 10,000 or a village) on the basis of =
proposed land
use. The Wood case =
reversed
prior court cases which limited city and village extraterritorial =
platting
authority to traditional land division powers of how land is divided and =
street
configuration. As a result of the Wood
case, very few cities and villages have been willing to even =
sit
down and talk to town officials since 2003, while at the same time =
denying
plats and developments in the towns. AB 260 will help level the =
playing
field between towns and cities/villages on at least one aspect of =
boundary
issues.
We know that mayors and other city and village =
officers are
calling the Governor to ask him to veto this bill. We need as many =
calls
as possible, as soon as possible to impress the Governor’s office =
of the
importance of signing AB 260 into law.
It will only take a few minutes to =
call
his office. The staff person will ask you your name and address =
and what
the purpose of the call is, again to ask the Governor to sign AB =
260. The
staff person will not ask questions like why are you calling or what =
does the
bill do. They only record who called and what you asked for. =
It is
very simple! But very important to make as many calls now and in =
the next
few days as possible.
Thank you for your time.
