The state has approved Bristol’s petition to incorporate part of the town as a village, the town announced today.

The town issued the following statement:

bristol-new-flagOn September 17, 2009, the Wisconsin Department of Administration approved the Town of Bristol’s petition to incorporate the Northwest portion of the Town as a Village and sent its results to the Circuit Court. The Circuit Court has set a referendum date for Tuesday November 3, 2009. There will be two polling places: the Town Hall, 19801 83rd Street; and the Senior Center, 19200 93rd Street (Hwy C). The polls will be open between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Only those residents within the proposed Village would be allowed to vote. Attached is a map of the area.

There will be another public meeting at the Town Hall, October 22st at 7:00 p.m. to answer any questions residents may have prior to the vote. The Town will also send out a postcard reminding the proposed Village residents of the voting date.

If the vote is favorable, there will be a 60-day period to hold elections for 6 new Village Board members and a Village President. At the same election, any open positions on the Town Board would be filled.

Town Chair, Rich Gossling, said, “We are delighted that the citizens of the proposed new Village of Bristol will have a opportunity to vote on their future. The new Village will have an agreement with the existing Town to maximize efficiency and minimize overlap of services.”
