Municipal Boundary Review - Home (contact info)

2007 Wisconsin Act 43 encourages Wisconsin communities to use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to work out municipal boundary conflicts such as annexation, incorporation, consolidation, and related land use, environmental, and other intergovernmental conflicts.  The Act:  

     1) Requires the Department of Administration to maintain a list of
         ADR professionals;

     2) Creates a mediated process for communities to use to develop
         cooperative boundary agreements with their municipal neighbors, and 

     3) Encourages courts to resolve annexation and related litigation using ADR
         by applying s. 802.12 Wis. Stats., which is Wisconsin's ADR statute.
