Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, cities may create a city plan commission. The purpose of the
commission is to adopt a master plan for the physical development of the city. The
commission consists of the mayor, the city engineer, the president of the park board,
an alderperson and 3 citizens. The alderperson member of the commission is elected
by a two-thirds vote of the common council. Also under current law, villages and
certain towns that are authorized to exercise village powers may create a plan
commission.
Under this bill, the alderperson member of the commission is elected by a
majority vote of the common council. This change also applies to villages and certain
towns that are authorized to exercise village powers.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
