[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Lawrence 11-10-1998. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Town of Lawrence Town Board is hereby increased in size
to five Supervisors. In recognition of the requirement of staggered
terms for additional Supervisors pursuant to § 60.21, Wis.
Stats., the terms of Supervisors shall be as follows:
A.Â
Five Supervisors shall be elected at large in the 1999 spring election.
B.Â
The office of Town Chairperson shall be a two-year term.
C.Â
Of the four non-Chair Supervisors elected, the two Supervisors obtaining
the highest number of votes shall serve two-year terms and the two
Supervisors receiving the lowest number of votes shall each serve
a one-year term.
D.Â
It is the express intention that the two Supervisors (other than
the Town Chairperson) obtaining the least number of votes shall be
up for reelection in the spring of the year 2000 and then every two
years thereafter, thereby creating staggered terms of Supervisors
with the election of the Town Chairperson and two Supervisors in odd-numbered
years and the election of the remaining two Supervisors in even-numbered
years.
