There is a family relationship between David A. Ulrich and two of
the nominees for directorship. Mr. Bauer is Mr. Ulrich's brother-
in-law and Ms. Ulrich-Graves is Mr. Ulrich's daughter.
The Corporation's Board of Directors has standing Audit and
Executive Committees. The Executive Committee is composed of
Messrs. Ulrich, Karbiner, Gravitter, Fedderly and Krantz. The
Executive Committee's purpose is to exercise the powers of the full
Board between regular meetings of the Board. During 1994, the
Executive Committee held four meetings. The Audit Committee is
composed of Messrs. Lauterbach, Fedderly, Krantz, and McGovern and
its function is (a) to review the results of audits of the
Corporation and its subsidiaries performed by the Corporation's
internal auditors, (b) to meet with, and review the results of
audits of the Corporation and its subsidiaries performed by the
Corporation's independent public accountants, and (c) to recommend
the selection of independent public accountants. The Audit
Committee held three meetings during 1994. The Board of Directors
has not appointed a nominating committee, and the review of
recommendations for, and the selection of, nominees to Board
membership is handled by the Board serving as a committee of the
whole. If shareholders were to recommend nominees for directors,
the full Board would consider such persons. Shareholders are
entitled to nominate persons from the floor at the Annual Meeting,
but it is intended that the proxies solicited with the Proxy
Statement will be voted for the slate of the fourteen persons
listed in the table above as nominees to the Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors does not have a compensation committee.
The Board of Directors held nine meetings during 1994. All
directors, except Marilyn Ulrich-Graves, William Gravitter, Richard
Fitzgerald and Christ Krantz, attended 75% or more of the meetings
of the Board and the committees on which they served during 1994.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Executive Compensation, including that of the C.E.O., consists
primarily of salary and cash bonus. The C.E.O.'s compensation is
determined in the same manner as the other executives.
The bonus portion of Executive Compensation is based entirely on
the bank's return on assets. If the return on assets for the
twelve month period ending in November is less than the minimum
amount of one percent (1%) NO CASH BONUSES ARE PAID. If the return
on assets exceeds the minimum, the bonus is computed as a
<PAGE>
percentage of salary based on a formula such that as the return on
assets increases the bonus percentage goes up at an increasing
rate. The same bonus percentage is applied to all officers of the
bank.
Except for the bonus, there is no specific relationship between
corporate performance and executive salaries and benefits.
Executive Compensation is determined by the President and Executive
Vice President considering the following factors without assigning
any relative weight or importance to any factor:
1. Current Compensation
2. Cost of Living
3. Salaries Paid to Executives at Other Banks
4. Performance of the Bank During the Prior Year
5. Prospects of Future Growth and Performance
6. The Individual Performance of the Executive
Stock price is not a factor in determining executive salaries or
bonuses.
The salaries determined by the President and Executive Vice
President are submitted to the full Board of Directors for
approval. After reviewing the recommendations the Board members
have an opportunity to discuss any factors they deem relevant -
there is no agenda or specific list of factors to be discussed.
The recommendations of the President and Executive Vice President
are usually approved by the Board without adjustment.
The company continues to follow its long standing policy of not
providing its executives with many of the non-cash perquisites
given to executives of similar companies. Executives receive no
stock rights, options, warrants or stock appreciation rights. The
company does not provide memberships for its executives in country
clubs or other social clubs. Also, executives receive no special
retirement benefits or deferred compensation - they participate in
the same retirement plan provided to non-executive employees of the
company.

DIRECTORS' FEES
The directors of the Corporation, who do not also serve as officers
of Tri City Bankshares Corporation, receive $300 for each board
meeting attended.
LOANS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT
The Corporation has never made any loans to any of its officers or
directors. However, in the ordinary course of business, the
Corporation's banking subsidiary made loans during 1994 to officers
and directors of the Corporation, and to business firms in which
officers and directors of the Corporation are officers, partners,
or in which they have a substantial interest. The loans made by
the Corporation's banking subsidiary were made to the Corporation's
officers and directors and certain of the companies with which they
are associated in the ordinary course of business on substantially
the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable loans to unaffiliated persons
or firms, and do not involve more than a normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
David A. Ulrich, an officer and director of the Corporation, is the
principal shareholder in a corporation that owns buildings occupied
by the Corporation's central office (the "Central Office") in Oak
Creek, a Tri City National Bank branch office located in Milwaukee,
and five Tri City National Bank branch offices located in Pick
N'Save food stores in Brookfield, Milwaukee, Oak Creek and West
Allis. The Central Office building lease has a twenty-year term,
through 1996, with two, five-year renewal options. The branches
located in local food stores have lease terms of five years,
through December 1999, with three five-year renewal options. The
annual rental for 1994 paid in connection with all of the
aforementioned leases was $243,070, subject to adjustment as a
result of increases in the consumer price index. Pursuant to the
Central Office lease only, the Bank is also obligated to pay
property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs associated with
the building.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board of Directors knows of no other business which may come
before the Annual Meeting. In the event that any other business
not known or determined at this time does come before the Meeting,
it is intended that the persons named in the proxy shall vote in
accordance with their best judgment.
VOTING OF PROXIES
Proxies received by the Board of Directors will be voted in
accordance with the specifications indicated by the shareholder and
unless authority to vote upon the election of the directors, or as
to individual nominees, is withheld, the proxies will be voted FOR
all of the nominees listed in the Proxy Statement. Nominees
receiving the largest number of affirmative votes cast will be
elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be
chosen at the election. Any shares not voted affirmatively, whether
by abstention or broker nonvote, will generally have no impact on
the election of directors.
<PAGE>
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Audit Committee and the
Board of Directors has selected the independent accounting firm of
Ernst & Young to serve as its auditors for the year ending December
31, 1995. Ernst & Young has served as the Corporation's
accountants for the past twelve years. The services provided by
Ernst & Young since January 1, 1994 consisted of assisting in the
preparation of financial statements, and audit reports with respect
thereto, for the Corporation and its subsidiaries, and providing
assistance in the preparation of periodic reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Representatives of said firm
are expected to be present at the Annual Shareholders' Meeting and
will have the opportunity to make a statement if they choose to do
so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
SHAREHOLDERS' PROPOSALS
Proposals by shareholders sought to be included in the
Corporation's proxy statement for its 1996 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders must be received by the Corporation no later than
November 15, 1995.
PENDING LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
No director or executive officer is an adverse party or has an
interest adverse to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries in
any material pending legal proceedings.
SECTION 16(a) REPORTING DELINQUENCIES

directors complied with all filing requirements under Section 16(a)
