SB258: Bill Text

This bill provides that the commissioners of all metropolitan sewerage districts that do not include territory within a first class city shall be elected at large on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. Under the bill, the terms of service, method for filling vacancies, nomination paper signature requirements, and contribution limits for the office of commissioner in such districts are the same as currently provided for elective commissioners of the districts. Candidates for the office of commissioner are not eligible to receive public grants to finance their campaigns.

Town sanitary district commissions

Currently, one or more towns may organize a town sanitary district. The boundaries of the district need not be coterminous with any town. Each district is governed by a town sanitary district commission consisting of three members who serve at large for six-year terms, except that if a district is contained entirely within one town, the town board may constitute itself as the commission. Alternatively, the town board may provide for the appointment of commissioners, or may provide for the election of commissioners on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. If a district is contained within more than one town, the town board of the town containing the largest portion of the equalized full value of taxable property in the district may provide for the appointment or election of commissioners. Upon petition of a number of electors of the town equaling at least 20 percent of the vote cast for governor in the district at the last election, the district must change the method of selection of commissioners from appointment to election, and if a petition is approved by the electors of the district in a referendum, must change the method of selection of commissioners from election to appointment.

This bill provides for the election of each town sanitary district commission by the electors of the district at large on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. Under the bill, commissioners continue to serve for staggered six-year terms. The bill provides that the method of filling vacancies, nomination paper signature requirements, and contribution limits for the office of commissioner are the same as currently provided for elected commissioners of town sanitary districts. Under the bill, candidates for the office of commissioner are not eligible to receive public grants to finance their campaigns.

Technical college district boards

Currently, the state technical college system is managed on the local level by district boards consisting of nine members in each of the state's 16 technical college districts. The members of the technical college district board for each district are appointed by an appointment committee consisting of local elected officials in accordance with a representation plan based upon population distribution within the district, including distribution of women and minorities. All members of district boards must be residents of the district. Two members must be employers and two members must be employees. One member must be a school district administrator of a school district that lies within the technical college district. All members serve for three-year terms.

This bill provides for the election of all members of district boards from election districts within each technical college district on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. Each member must be an elector of the election district from which he or she is elected. Terms are changed to four years. Board members may be removed from office by a circuit court for cause and are subject to recall in the same manner as is currently provided for municipal elective officers. Vacancies are filled by appointment of the remaining members of the board until a successor can be chosen at the spring election. Under the bill, current district board members serve until July 1, 2009, at which time district board members who are elected at the 2009 spring election take office. The terms of the members are staggered so that at least two are elected every year. Nomination paper signature requirements, contribution limits, and spending guidelines are the same as currently provided for the office of representative to the assembly. Candidates for the district board are not eligible to receive public grants to finance their campaigns.

Local exposition district boards of directors

Currently, any municipality or combination of two or more municipalities may create an exposition district, the territory of which is coterminous with the territory of the sponsoring municipality or municipalities, except that if the sponsoring municipality is a first class city, the territory of the district is coterminous with that municipality and each city or village that is wholly or partly contained within the most populous county in which the city is located. The district is governed by a board of directors whose members are appointed by the chief executive officer or officers of the sponsoring municipality or municipality, subject to confirmation by the municipal governing body or bodies. The number of members of a board of directors varies depending upon which municipality sponsors the district and whether there is more than one such municipality. Board members must be qualified to serve in accordance with certain statutory membership categories. Board members serve for staggered three-year terms.

This bill provides for the election of all members of local exposition district boards for staggered three-year terms at large by the electors of the district on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. Under the bill, all board members must be residents of the district. The bill permits the current appointing authorities or authorities to appoint initial board members in a newly created district and to fill vacancies by appointment. Nomination paper signature requirements and contribution limits are the same as currently established for local offices in special purpose districts. Under the bill, candidates for the office of board member are not eligible to receive public grants to finance their campaigns.

Local professional baseball park district boards

Currently, there is created a professional baseball park district in each county with a population of 600,000 or more and all counties that are contiguous to that county that are not included within another such district. The district is governed by a district board whose members are appointed, in numbers specified in the statutes, by the governor, subject to confirmation by the senate, by the chief executive officers of the counties within the district, and by the mayor or common council president of the most populous city within the district. Currently, there exists one professional baseball park district in this state which has a district board consisting of 13 members.

This bill creates a special committee for each local professional baseball park district that is in existence on the day the bill becomes law. The committee consists of the county executive (or the county board chairperson if there is no executive) of each county that has territory within the district. The committee is directed to report to the 2009 legislature when it convenes concerning the committee's recommendation for a process for popular election of the members of the district board of the district.

Local professional football stadium district boards

Currently, there is created a professional football stadium district in each county with a population of more than 150,000 in which is located the principal site of a stadium that is home to a professional football team that meets certain specified statutory criteria. The district is governed by a district board whose members are appointed, in numbers specified in the statutes, by the mayor of the most populous city that is located wholly or partly within the district, the chief elected official of each other municipality that is located wholly or partly within the district, and the county executive or board chairperson of the county in which the football stadium is located. Currently, there exists one professional football stadium district in this state which has a district board consisting of eight members.

Local cultural arts district boards

Currently, any city with a population of more than 150,000 may create a cultural arts district, the boundaries of which are coterminous with the boundaries of the city. The district is governed by a district board. If the sponsoring city is a first class city, the common council determines the membership and method of selection of the district board members. If the sponsoring city is not a first class city, the governor, mayor of the sponsoring city, and county executive or their designees serve as members of the district board, and the governor may appoint three additional members, the mayor may appoint six additional members, and the county executive may appoint one additional member.

This bill provides for the election of all members of each cultural arts district board for staggered four-year terms at large by the electors of the district on a nonpartisan ballot at the spring election. Under the bill, all district board members must have resided within 25 miles of the sponsoring city's city hall for at least one year prior to assuming office. The bill permits a committee consisting of the governor, the mayor of the sponsoring city, and the county executive or board chairperson of the county in which the largest portion of the population of the sponsoring city is located to appoint initial district board members in a newly created district and to fill vacancies by appointment. Nomination paper signature requirements and contribution limits are the same as currently established for local offices in special purpose districts. Under the bill, candidates for the office of district board member are not eligible to receive public grants to finance their campaigns.
