The purpose of this ordinance is to have the Lake Mills’ City Council approved an ordinance to reapportion the municipality’s wards and districts based on the results of the 2010 U.S. Census.
The city’s charter requires Lake Mills to maintain five districts; however, all governing bodies are required by law to adjust legislative boundaries based on the results of the most recent federal census in order to ensure fair and equal representation.
The county notified the City that they have completed their reapportionment and they are now waiting for us to complete the city’s reapportionment. The current ward boundaries cross county boundaries and are not in locations that segment the city into the required population district, so there needs to be some adjustments to accommodate the population and boundary requirements.
