(Beaver Dam) The city of Beaver Dam now has 15 wards. The city council added one more ward on Monday night as part of the annexation of a small parcel of land in the Town of Beaver Dam. Mike Butler requested the annexation to erect a billboard at the intersection of highways 151 and 33. Butler says state statute works differently on a freeway in a township compared to a city. Beaver Dam needed to create the extra ward because the property is in a different congressional ward than the rest of city. There are no property owners expected to live in the new 15th ward, other than the billboards. Representation of Ward 15 on the council will be handled by the alderperson in nearby Ward 10.
