SB51,15,8
166.1106 (3) (a) Any political subdivision that seeks to use an environmental
2remediation tax increment under sub. (2) shall convene a standing joint review board
3to review the proposal. If a political subdivision creates more than one tax
4incremental district under this section consisting of different overlying taxing
5jurisdictions, it shall create a separate standing joint review board for each
6combination of overlying jurisdictions, except that if a political subdivision creates
7a tax incremental district under this section and s. 66.1105 that share the same
8overlying taxing jurisdictions, the political subdivision may create one standing joint
9review board for the districts. The joint review board shall remain in existence for
10the entire time that any tax incremental district exists in the political subdivision
11with the same overlying taxing jurisdictions as the overlying taxing jurisdictions
12represented on the standing joint review board.
The board shall consist of one
13representative chosen by the school district that has power to levy taxes on the
14property that is remediated, one representative chosen by the technical college
15district that has power to levy taxes on the property, one representative chosen by
16the county that has power to levy taxes on the property that is remediated, one
17representative chosen by the city, village or town that has power to levy taxes on the
18property that is remediated and one public member. If more than one city, village or
19town, more than one school district, more than one technical college district or more
20than one county has the power to levy taxes on the property that is remediated, the
21unit in which is located property that has the greatest value shall choose that
22representative to the board. The public member and the board's chairperson shall
23be selected by a majority of the other board members at the board's first meeting.
24All board members shall be appointed and the first board meeting held within 14
25days after the political subdivision's governing body approves the written proposal

1under sub. (2). Additional meetings Meetings of the board in addition to the meeting
2required under this paragraph and par. (e)
shall be held upon the call of any member.

.
Note: This Section requires a political subdivision to create a standing JRB that
must remain in existence for the entire time that any environmental remediation TID
exists in the political subdivision with the same overlying taxing jurisdictions as the
overlying taxing jurisdictions represented on the JRB. If a political subdivision creates
an environmental remediation TID, and a TID under s. 66.1105, Stats., and both TIDs
share the same overlying taxing jurisdictions, the political subdivision may use the same
standing JRB for both TIDs. Also, a standing JRB may, by majority vote, disband
following the termination of all existing environmental remediation TIDs located in the
political subdivision with the same overlying district as the overlying taxing jurisdictions
represented on the JRB.
