5and Sheboygan counties and making an appropriation.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, as created in 2013 Wisconsin Act 20 (the Biennial Budget
Act), the Department of Transportation (DOT) must award a grant in the 2013-15
fiscal biennium to Manitowoc County, Sheboygan County, the town of Centerville in
Manitowoc County, the town of Mosel in Sheboygan County, the town of Sheboygan
in Sheboygan County, and the village of Cleveland in Manitowoc County (affected
local governments) for the relocation of CTH "LS" in Manitowoc and Sheboygan
counties and the construction of access roads to properties along CTH "LS" (the
project) if the affected local governments reach a jurisdictional transfer agreement
that meets certain criteria. The amount of the grant may not exceed $4,200,000 or
50 percent of the project costs, whichever is less. The grant must be paid from DOT's
appropriation for discretionary grants under the Local Roads Improvement Program
(LRIP), notwithstanding limitations on or eligibility requirements for LRIP aids.
Under this bill, the grant is not paid from the LRIP program appropriation.
Instead, the grant is paid from a new, sum certain appropriation of $4,000,000 for
fiscal year 2013-14. The bill removes the requirement that the grant not exceed 50

percent of the project costs. The bill also reduces the allocation under LRIP for
discretionary grants for county trunk highway improvements by $400,000 in fiscal
year 2013-14.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
