Pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 59.69(5)(e)6 and amendments thereto, if any such amendatory ordinance makes ONLY THE CHANGE SOUGHT IN THE PETITION AND IF THE PETITION WAS NOT DISAPPROVED AT OR WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING BY THE TOWN BOARD of the town affected in the case of an ordinance relating to the location of district boundaries or by the town boards of a majority of the towns affected in the case of all other amendatory ordinances, it shall become effective on passage. The County Clerk shall record in his office the date on which such ordinance becomes effective and shall notify the town clerk of all towns affected by such ordinance of such effective date and also insert such effective date in the proceedings of the County board.

Any other such amendatory ordinance when so adopted shall within seven days thereafter be submitted in duplicate by the County clerk by registered mail to the town clerk of each town in which lands affected by such ordinance are located. If after 40 days from the date of such adoption a majority of such towns have not filed the certified copies of resolutions DISAPPROVING such amendment with the County clerk or if, within a shorter time, a majority of towns in which the ordinance is in effect have filed certified copies of resolutions APPROVING the amendment with the County clerk, the amendment shall thereupon be in effect in all of the towns affected by the ordinance.

Any such ordinance relating to the LOCATION OF BOUNDARIES OF DISTRICTS shall within seven days after adoption by the County board be transmitted by the County clerk by registered mail only to the town clerk of the town in which the lands affected by the change are located and shall become effective 40 days after the adoption of the ordinance by the County board unless such town board prior to such date files a certified copy of a resolution disapproving of such ordinance with the County clerk. If such town board approves the ordinance, said ordinance shall become effective upon the filing of the resolution of the town board approving same with the County clerk. The County clerk shall record in his office the date on which such ordinance becomes effective and shall notify the town clerk of all towns affected by such ordinance of such effective date and also make such report to the County board, which report shall be printed in the proceedings of the County board.
