18issued under this section shall be recorded with the register of deeds for any county
19in which the highway is or will be located.
Note: Section 82.21 is based on current ss. 80.11 (1) through (6) and 80.12. Current
s. 80.12 is ambiguous as to whether the procedure in that section is the exclusive
procedure for laying, altering, or discontinuing a highway on the line between a town and
a city or village, or whether it merely provides a means to allow citizens to petition their
municipal governments. The special committee decided to resolve the ambiguity in favor
of making the provision the exclusive means. In addition, the special committee allowed
the governing body of each municipality to initiate the procedures in different manners.
The special committee decided not to carryover current s. 80.11 (4) which vacated
an apportionment in certain situations. The special committee decided that current s.
80.11 (4) was unnecessary and could cause a gap in the responsibility for a highway. Any
reapportionment that is necessary should be covered under the provision allowing a
reapportionment in situations where the current apportionment is judged to be
inequitable or impracticable. However, the special committee changed the language to
allow one municipality to petition the court for reapportionment if that municipality feels
the current apportionment is inequitable. The appealing municipality must serve a copy
of the application on any affected municipality.
The following language from s. 80.11 (1) was not carried over to this bill because
the special committee decided it was unnecessary: "If the highway is laid out or altered,
it may be either upon or as near to the town line as the situation of the ground will admit.
The supervisors of the 2 towns acting together may vary the location on either side of the
town line as they consider to be necessary.".
Current s. 80.12 (4) was entirely deleted because the committee decided it was
unnecessary. Current s. 80.12 (4) reads as follows: "The municipalities responsible for
a municipal line highway may cause any municipal line highway or part of a municipal
line highway that is not less than 264 feet in length, to be graded, paved, macadamized
or otherwise improved, including the establishment of the grade, construction of curbs
and gutters and installation of water and sewer mains and service pipes. The
municipalities may levy special assessments for the whole or any part of the cost of the
improvements as a tax upon the property that they determine is especially benefited by
the improvements initiated under this subsection, in the manner provided in s. 66.0703.".
The new s. 82.21 changes the obligation of a city or village to appoint
commissioners from mandatory to permissive.

Note: The current law seems to limit the town or county to paying 50% of the costs.

government to decide how much it is willing to pay. Thus, the new s. 82.28 states that
