PRESS RELEASE The Wisconsin Secretary of State issued the certificate of incorporation for the Village of Bristol on December 1, 2009. The current Town Board will continue its powers and duties until the first meeting of the Village Board of Trustees at which a quorum is present.
The first election for the six (6) Village Trustees and the Village President will take place on January 19, 2010. Any resident of the Village that is interested in running for Village Trustee or President can secure nomination papers from the Town Clerk, Amy Klemko at the Bristol Town Hall, 19801 83rd Street between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Candidates will need to declare if they are running for Village President or for Village Trustee. Nomination papers shall be signed by not less than 29 (5%) nor more than 56 (10%) of the total votes. These petitions will need to be turned back into the Town Clerk on or before January 4, 2010.
In order to achieve the proper terms for trustees, for this first election the top 3 vote-getters will serve the 2-year terms and the next 3 will serve the 1-year terms. Thereafter, all trustees will run for 2-year terms on a staggered basis. The Village President will be elected for a 2-year term.
There will be 3 open Town Board seats when the Village Board becomes sworn in. These positions will be appointed by the Town Board to fill out the remaining terms. Anyone interested in filling these positions should drop off their letter of interest or resume with the Town Clerk by January 4, 2010.
Town Supervisors John McCabe and Colleen Fisch will remain in their positions and are up for re-election which will take place on April 6, 2010.
