229.47 Transfer agreements. A sponsoring municipality may enter into a transfer agreement with a district to provide the terms and conditions upon which the sponsoring municipality may transfer any interests in an existing exposition center and exposition center facilities created under this subchapter or an existing convention institution created under s. 229.26 to the district. The transfer agreement may include provisions for the division of revenues from taxes levied by the district under s. 66.0615 (1m) and subchs. VIII and IX of ch. 77 to fund costs incurred by the sponsoring municipality during any transition period in which the sponsoring municipality has continuing responsibility for the operation or maintenance of any exposition center, exposition center facilities or convention institution facilities. A transfer may take the form of a sale, lease or other conveyance and may be with or without financial consideration. A transfer agreement shall require the district to accept an assignment of all contracts with other persons, with respect to a transferred exposition center, exposition center facilities or convention institution facilities, that are in force at the time of transfer. If the employees who perform services for a board created under s. 229.26 (2) are included within one or more collective bargaining units under subch. IV of ch. 111 that do not include other employees of the sponsoring municipality, and a collective bargaining agreement exists between the sponsoring municipality and the representative of those employees in any such unit, the transfer agreement shall require the district to assume the functions of the employer under that collective bargaining agreement as provided in s. 229.26 (10).
