As required by SCR 10.05(2)(c), every ten years beginning
January 1, 1995, the Board of Governors must adopt revisions to the
Board of Governors Districts. At the September 23-24, 2004, meeting of
the Board of Governors, on motion by Governor Langley, with a second by
Governor George, the Board of Governors approved Proposal #1 of the
Board of Governors Redistricting Committee.
Proposal #1 transfers Lincoln County from District 16 to District 11,
adds one additional governor each to District 6 (Waukesha County) and
District 9 (Dane County) and removes one governor from District 2
(Milwaukee County). The number of governors in District 6 increases from
two to three, in District 9 increases from six to seven, and in District
2 decreases from thirteen to twelve. Attached is the information
provided to the Board of Governors: a memo outlining Proposal #1; and
three charts with redistricting information, including current
representation, Proposal #1 and Proposal #2. Also attached is the
portion of the minutes of the September 23-24, 2004, Board of Governors
meeting relating to the decision to adopt Proposal #1 and my
