AGENDA ITEM: Resolution Approving Alteration of Supervisory District Boundary -Village
of Baldwin (Town of Rush River - Open Development Conservancy
District)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In January 2021 the Village of Baldwin enacted an ordinance to annex 10.6 acres to the Village
of Baldwin from the Town of Rush River. The property contains a home, land classified as
agricultural and agricultural forest. The annexed property from the Town of Rush River was part
of Ward 1, County Supervisor District 15. The Village of Baldwin requests the parcel be made
part of Ward 6, County Supervisor District 18.
The Village of Baldwin requests the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors exercise its
redistricting powers under Wis. Stat. 59.10(3)(c) (below).
Per Wisconsin State Statute 59.10(3)(c), "Changes during decade. After the enactment of a plan
of supervisory districts under par. (B), a municipal incorporation, annexation, detachment or
consolidation may serve as a basis for altering between federal decennial censuses the
boundaries of supervisory districts, in the discretion of the board...."
This resolution alters the supervisory district boundary by moving the annexed parcel of land
from County Supervisor Districts 15 to County Supervisor District 18, consisting of Ward 6 in the
Village of Baldwin. The population of the annexed parcels is zero.
Additional information:
DETERMINING IF THE CREATION OFA NEW WARD IS NECESSARY
The establishment of wards for purposes of elections and representation is provided in Section
5.15, Wis. Stats. Under that statute, the municipality annexing the territory may add the annexed
territory to an existing, contiguous ward (or wards) only if the annexed territory is in the same
county supervisory, assembly and congressional districts* as the ward to which it is added. If the
supervisory, assembly or congressional districts in the annexed territory are different from the
districts in the ward to which the territory is contiguous, a new ward must be created for the
annexed territory unless the county board adopts a re -districting ordinance (moving the
annexed territory into the same supervisory district as the territory to which it is annexed),
because a single ward may not be located in two or more supervisory districts. Note -only a
county has the authority to redraw its county supervisory district boundaries between decennial
redistricting to move residents of one county supervisory district to another.
*If the annexed territory is in an assembly district or congressional district different from the
assembly or congressional districts in which the existing ward is located, a new ward must be
created. No exceptions.
