(2) The superintendent of highways shall supervise the construction and
7maintenance of all highways in the superintendent's district
that are required to be
8maintained by the town, and keep them passable at all times, and perform such other
9services in connection with
said the highways as the town board requires
, and keep
10a full account of all the superintendent's receipts and disbursements. The
11superintendent may
make such arrangement arrange for the prosecution of the
12highway work as the superintendent
deems considers necessary and appoint
such
13supervisors as any overseers that the highway work requires.
SB315,47,25
14(3) When any highway under the superintendent's charge becomes
15impassable
, the superintendent shall put the
same highway in passable condition as
16soon as practicable.
The superintendent shall make a complete and full report of all
17funds received and disbursed by the superintendent whenever requested so to do by
18the town board, and shall also make a complete and full report to each annual town
19meeting. The superintendent, and in the superintendent's absence the town board,
20shall immediately upon notice of its existence fill or remove
Upon actual notice of the
21existence of any depression, ditch, hump
, or embankment
which that impedes the
22use of any highway
in under the superintendent's
district charge, the
23superintendent, or in the absence of a superintendent the chairperson of the town
24board, shall as soon as practicable take action to make the highway safe for travel,
25which may include closing the highway.
Note: Current s. 81.03 seemed to contemplate the superintendent having a
separate set of accounting books and paying and receiving money. The special committee
decided that such a system had the potential for fraud and confusion. Instead, new s.
82.05 (4) simply requires the superintendent to report all actions to the board, and the
board can handle making and receiving payments.
In new sub. (3), the language has been changed from "notice" to "actual notice".
Note: The special committee repealed s. 81.05 because it believed that it was no
longer used by towns.

20therein, and on property adjoining, where the owner regularly uses such road which
21is not a portion of any town, county, state
, or federal highway system, not exceeding
223 mills for each dollar of assessed valuation thereof. The proceeds of
such the tax
23shall be expended for the improvement and maintenance of any private roads used
24by the public located within
such the recorded and filed plat. The town board shall
1not expend any of
such the funds
collected under this section upon a private
2driveway.
Note: Section 82.25 is based on current s. 81.11 (5). The language was changed
to limit its application to plats in existence on January 1, 2003. Subsections (1) through

obsolete.
Current ss. 81.12 and 81.39, 80.30 (2) through (5), and the 2nd-to-last sentence

cities, villages, or towns for the purpose of

15county bounded by
said the highway
, the. The expense incurred in opening and
16putting in reasonable condition for travel
such highway, or in repairing
it the
17highway, or in building or repairing any bridge
thereon on the highway, shall be paid
18primarily by the county to which the appeal is taken
, and by said county apportioned.
19The county to which the appeal is taken shall apportion the expense among all of the
20counties
which that are bounded in whole or in part by
such the highway
, and the
21proportionate share of such costs and expense shall be paid by the other counties.
22The other counties shall pay their apportioned share to the county to which the
23appeal is taken, upon
presentation receipt of a proper claim
therefor, and when such.
24When the expense has been paid by the
counties liable therefor it shall be charged
25by the respective counties
to their proper towns and added, the counties shall charge
1their affected cities, villages, or towns and add the charge to the next county tax
2apportioned to
such the cities, villages, or towns
and collected therewith.
Note: Under current s. 81.14, the county's oversight is only over towns. This
section expands the county's oversight to cities and villages. Since the county is given the
same oversight over cities and villages, the section has been moved to ch. 66.
New s. 66.1029 changes where the application must be delivered. Under current
s. 81.14, an appeal is begun by serving notice on the chairperson of town or towns. Since
the appeal is to the county, the special committee decided that it would be more
appropriate to serve the notice on the county. Thus, new s. 66.1029 requires service on
the county clerk and copies to be delivered to the towns.
Current s. 81.14 (3) was deleted. That subsection concerned highways that were
laid out by commissioners reversing the decision of the supervisors. The provisions for
commissioners reversing supervisors was eliminated in
1995 Wisconsin Act 186.
In new sub. (2), the language about a county failing to aid in putting the highway
in reasonable condition was changed to require a plan to put the highway in reasonable
condition that is agreed to by the town or village. In addition, new sub. (2) was modified
to require 30 rather than 20 days' notice.

, and
21has provided for such portion of the cost of such construction or repair as is required

with the county board setting
23forth said facts and for county aid with the county highway commissioner. The

culvert or bridge; and bridge or

6equivalent capacity to carry water, the county board
, except as herein provided, shall
7thereupon appropriate
such the sum
as will, with the money provided by the town,
8be sufficient to defray the expense of constructing or repairing such culvert or bridge, 9required by sub. (3) and shall levy a tax therefor
, which. The tax
, when collected
, 10shall be
disbursed on the order of the chairperson of the county board and the county
11clerk, when the town board and county highway committee files a written notice with
12the clerk that the work has been completed and accepted held in a separate account
13administered by the county highway committee.
SB315,57,21
14(b) If on January 1, 2003, a county has a policy of providing funding only for
15bridges and culverts larger than the requirement of par. (a), the county may refuse
16to fund bridges and culverts that do not meet the minimum requirements of that
17policy. The minimum size bridge or culvert that a county is required to fund under
18this section may be raised, but not lowered, by the affirmative vote of a majority of
19the towns in the county. The county board of any county
which that has never
20granted aid under this section may
, in its discretion
, refuse
to make any
21appropriation all petitions under sub. (1).
Note: Current s. 81.38 requires all petitions for county aid to be granted. The
special committee had a number of discussions about whether the county should be
involved in projects that are very small, and about the fact that some counties currently
put a minimum size requirement on the bridges and culverts that they fund.
The new s. 80.28 (2) limits the funding requirements to bridges or culverts with a
span of 36 inches or greater. However, counties that had a greater size requirement in
place on January 1, 2003 can continue to abide by that policy. In addition, the size limit
can be raised, but not lowered, by the vote of the majority of towns in the county. Current
s. 81.38 also seemed to require the town to apply to the county for aid. That has been
changed so that a town "may" apply for aid. Finally, the new sub. (2) requires the tax that
the county levies to be held in a separate account.

5repair
above $1,500. In determining the cost of construction or repair of any
culvert
6or bridge
or culvert, the cost of constructing or repairing any approach not exceeding
7100 feet in length shall be included.
Note: New sub. (3) changes the way projects are funded. The current law requires
the town to pay for the first $750, the county to pay for the second $750, and the town and
county to split amounts in excess of $1,500. The new sub. (3) requires a straight 50% split.

such 11culvert or bridge
or culvert must be made without delay, the town board may file its
12petition with the county clerk and the county highway committee,
setting forth the
13facts respecting explaining the necessity for immediate construction or repairs. It
14shall then be the duty of the town board and the county highway committee to
make
15such construction or repairs with the least possible delay. The town board is
16authorized to borrow the entire cost of the work, and to include the town's share of
17such cost in the next tax levy construct or repair the bridge or culvert as soon as
18practicable. The construction or repair of a
culvert or bridge
performed and accepted 19or culvert undertaken pursuant to this subsection shall entitle the town to the same
20county aid that the town would have been entitled to had it filed its petition with the
21county board as provided in sub. (1).

6may leave the matter entirely in the hands of the county highway committee.
The

1861.48 County aid for construction and repair of bridges and culverts. 19Any village
, by a resolution adopted by a two-thirds majority vote of all members of
20the village board, may elect to become subject to all of the provisions of
this section.
21Such s. 82.08 by a resolution adopted by a two-thirds majority vote of all of the
22members of the village board. The election
to become subject to s. 82.08 shall be
1effective when a certified copy of
such the resolution is filed with the county board
2and
approved by a majority
of the towns and villages in the county that are already
3subject to s. 82.08 vote
of the members of the county board representing towns and
4representing villages which have become subject to the provisions of this section as
5provided in this subsection; and thereafter, until such to approve the village's
6election. Until the village ceases to be subject to
the provisions of this section s. 82.08,
7the words "town" and "town board" as used in
this section s. 82.08 shall also apply
8respectively to such to the village and its village board. A village
which that has
9become subject to
the provisions of this section as provided in this subsection s. 82.08 10may cease to be subject to
such provisions only that section by the adoption of a
11resolution and its approval
by the county board in the same manner
and by the same
12procedure by which a as the village
may become became subject to
such provisions
13as provided in this subsection that section.
Note: Since it concerns villages, the special committee decided current s.81.38 (6)
was more appropriately placed in ch. 61. New s. 61.48 changes how the election to be
subject to the provisions of new s. 82.08 is approved. The current language in s. 81.38
requires approval "...by a majority vote of the members of the county board representing
towns and villages that have become subject to this section". Since the members of the
county board no longer represent towns and villages in that manner, new s. 61.48 requires
a vote of the majority of the towns and villages that are already subject to s. 82.08.
