Additional public construction procedures in s. 66.0901, stats., apply to a number of municipal entities, including cities and villages.

AB213, s. 11 Section 11 . 61.55 and 61.56 of the statutes are repealed.

Note: See the Note to Section 10 of this bill.

AB213, s. 12 Section 12. 61.57 of the statutes is amended to read:

AB213,11,8 61.57 Acquisition of recycling or resource recovery facilities without bids. A village may contract for the acquisition of any element of a recycling or resource recovery facility without submitting the contract for bids as required under ss. 61.54 to 61.56 s. 61.54 if the village invites developers to submit proposals to provide a completed project and evaluates proposals according to site, cost, design and the developers' experience in other similar projects.

Note: Revises a cross-reference to reflect the treatment of ss. 61.54 to 61.56, stats., by this bill.

AB213, s. 13 Section 13. 61.65 (1) (a) 2. of the statutes is amended to read:

AB213,11,14 61.65 (1) (a) 2. Contracting for police protective services with a city or town, with another village, or with the a county in which the village is located. A village that contracts for police protective services shall pay the full cost of services provided. A village may not contract with a county to provide all of the village's police protective services under this subdivision.

Note: Current law provides that a village may contract for police protective services with, among other entities, a county in which the village is located. This Section amends the law to provide that a village may contract with any county for this purpose. (Note that the authority of a village to contract with a county for all of its police protective services is controlled by s. 61.65 (1) (a) 4., stats.) Section 66.0301 (2), stats., also allows a municipality to contract with another municipality for services; this authority is to be liberally construed. See also Section 21 of this bill.

AB213, s. 14 Section 14 . 62.09 (1) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB213,12,11 62.09 (1) (a) The officers shall be a mayor, treasurer, clerk, comptroller, attorney, engineer, one or more assessors unless the city is assessed by a county assessor under s. 70.99, one or more constables as determined by the common council, a local health officer, as defined in s. 250.01 (5), or local board of health, as defined in s. 250.01 (3), street commissioner, board of police and fire commissioners except in cities where not applicable, chief of police except in a city that has contracted for all of its police protective services under s. 62.13 (2g) or has abolished its police department under s. 62.13 (2s), chief of the fire department except in a city that contracted for all of its fire protective services under s. 62.13 (8) (b), board of public works, 2 alderpersons from each aldermanic district, and such other officers or boards as are created by law or by the council. If one alderperson from each aldermanic district is provided under s. 66.0211 (1), the council may, by ordinance adopted by a two-thirds vote of all its members and approved by the electors at a general or special election, provide that there shall be 2 alderpersons from each aldermanic district.

Note: Revises cross-references to reflect the treatment of s. 62.13 (2g) and (8) (b), stats., by this bill. If a city contracts for all of its police or fire protective services under these statutory provisions, the officers of the city will not include a chief of police or a chief of the fire department, respectively.

AB213, s. 15 Section 15 . 62.09 (5) (e) of the statutes is created to read:

AB213,12,15 62.09 (5) (e) Persons serving in appointive offices shall serve until their respective successors are appointed and qualify, unless otherwise provided by ordinance.

Note: Section 61.23 (1), stats., provides that persons serving in appointive village offices will serve until their respective successors are appointed and qualify. There is no similar statutory provision for appointive city officers. This Section creates s. 62.09 (5) (e) as a parallel to the law applicable in villages by requiring that appointive city officers serve in their offices until their respective successors are appointed and qualify. Consistent with the amendment of s. 61.23 (1) by Section 4 of this bill, a city by ordinance may provide a different method of determining when the term of an appointed officer ends.

AB213, s. 16 Section 16. 62.09 (6) (a) of the statutes is amended to read:

AB213,12,19 62.09 (6) (a) Salaries shall be paid the mayor or alderpersons only when ordered by a vote of three-fourths of all the members of the council. Salaries heretofore established shall so remain until changed by ordinance.

Note: This change is similar to the change made in s. 61.32 in Section 8 of this bill. The deleted language is restated in s. 62.09 (6) (am) 2., although the current law provision applies only to a mayor and alderpersons and the language in s. 62.09 (6) (am) 2. applies, more broadly, to all elective officers.

AB213, s. 17 Section 17 . 62.09 (6) (am) of the statutes is created to read:

AB213,13,5 62.09 (6) (am) 1. In this paragraph, "compensation" means a salary, a per diem compensation for each day or part of a day necessarily devoted to the service of the city and the discharge of duties, or a combination of salary and per diem compensation.

AB213,13,11 2. Except as provided in subd. 3., and subject to par. (a), the compensation for an elective city office shall be established before the earliest time for filing nomination papers for the office. After that time, no change may be made in the compensation for the office that applies to the term of office for which the deadline applies. The compensation established for an elective office remains in effect for ensuing terms unless changed.

AB213,13,13 3. In a newly incorporated city, the compensation for an elective office may be established during the first term of office.

Note: Creates a provision for establishing and changing compensation for city elective offices that corresponds to the provision applicable to village elective offices, created by Section 3 of this bill. The provision replaces current s. 62.09 (6) (b), stats., repealed by Section 18 of this bill.

Unlike repealed s. 62.09 (6) (b), this provision does not include compensation for appointive city officers with definite terms. It was concluded there is no policy reason for including appointive offices in the provision.

The requirement that the compensation, as defined, for an elective city office be established before the earliest time for filing nomination papers for the office is new. It reflects the principle that compensation for an elective office is for the office, not for a particular individual holding the office. The definition of "compensation" is based on s. 60.32 (2), stats., applicable to town elective offices.

The 2nd and 3rd sentences of subd. 2. restate language deleted from current s. 61.32, stats., by Section 8 of this bill, although the current law provision applies only to a village president and trustees and the new language applies more broadly, to all elective officers.

Subdivision 3. restates the last sentence of repealed s. 62.09 (6) (b).

Note that periodic increases in compensation for an elective office may be provided, as long as any increase is determined by the stated deadline. In addition, under s. 66.0507, stats., salary may include an automatic adjustment for changes in cost of living (except city council members). See Section 27 of this bill.

AB213, s. 18 Section 18 . 62.09 (6) (b) of the statutes is repealed.
