Question #1: Shall a person holding the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer in the Town of Lake be appointed by the Town Board? Yes ______   No _____

Explanation

Presently, the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer in the Town of Lake is an elected position. The statutes of the State of Wisconsin provide that the Town, by a majority vote of the electorate, may authorize the Town Board to convert this position from an elective office to an appointed office. A “yes” answer to the foregoing question would authorize the Town Board to make this conversion whereas a “no” answer would indicate to the Town Board that the position should remain elective. In the event that a majority of the electors authorize the Town Board to create an appointed position for the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer, the appointed office would not commence until the expiration of the term of the current elected official for that position. A person appointed to the office of Town Clerk/Treasurer shall serve a term, not to exceed three years, that is set by the Town Board. A person may be reappointed and may be dismissed by the Board only for cause.

Done in the Town of Lake, Marinette County on
