AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,1,4 "" Section 150mdm. 59.10 (2) (d), (e) and (f) of the statutes are created to read:

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,1,7 59.10 (2) (d) Number of supervisors, salary, part-time status. Subject to pars. (e) and (f), and not more frequently than once every 4 years, the board may enact an ordinance or adopt a resolution that does all of the following:

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,1,9 1. Decreases the number of supervisors after the enactment of a supervisory district plan under par. (a).

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,1,10 2. Decreases the salary of supervisors.

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,1,11 3. Requires the office of supervisor to be a part-time position.

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,2,11 (e) Referendum. Subject to par. (f), an ordinance enacted or resolution adopted under par. (d) may not take effect unless it is approved in a referendum as described in s. 59.52 (25), which shall be called for by the board and which shall be held not earlier than 42 days after the enactment of the ordinance or adoption of the resolution. The referendum question shall be substantially as follows: "May the board of supervisors of .... County reduce its size before the board redistricts itself following the .... [year of next federal decennial census] federal census, reduce the annual salary paid to each supervisor by ....% [or by $.... per year], and require the office of supervisor to be only a part-time position?" If a majority of the electors who vote in the referendum vote "Yes," the board shall take the action specified in the ordinance or resolution described under par. (d).

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,2,25 (f) District boundaries readjusted. 1. If an ordinance or resolution described under par. (d) is approved in a referendum under par. (e), the board shall redistrict, readjust, and change the boundaries of supervisory districts, so that the number of districts equals the number of supervisors, the districts are substantially equal in population according to the most recent countywide federal census, the districts are in as compact form as possible, and the districts consist of contiguous whole wards in existence at the time at which the redistricting plan is adopted. The standards in sub. (3) (b) 2. and 3. with regard to contiguity apply under this subdivision. The board shall, to the extent possible, place whole contiguous municipalities or contiguous parts of the same municipality within the same district. In redistricting under this subdivision, the original numbers of the districts in their geographic outlines, to the extent possible, shall be retained. The chairperson of the board shall file a certified copy of any redistricting plan adopted under this subdivision with the secretary of state.

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,3,12 2. Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, any redistricting plan enacted under subd. 1. that becomes effective before November 15 preceding the expiration of the term of office of supervisors in the county first applies to the spring election following the plan's effective date; otherwise, the plan first applies to the 2nd succeeding spring election following the plan's effective date at which supervisors are regularly elected in the county. Any redistricting plan enacted under subd. 1. shall remain in effect until a subsequent redistricting plan enacted under subd. 1. takes effect, except that any redistricting plan enacted under subd. 1. is void beginning on the effective date of a redistricting plan subsequently enacted under par. (a). Supervisors elected from the districts created under subd. 1. shall be elected for 4-year terms and shall take office on the 3rd Monday in April following their election.

AB1-ASA1-AA4-AA1,3,17 3. If an ordinance or resolution described under par. (d) is approved in a referendum under par. (e), a supervisor's salary decrease, and the requirement that the office of supervisor be a part-time position, shall first apply on the first day of the pay period that begins not sooner than 90 days after the issuance of the determination that the ordinance or resolution is approved.".
