                                 PROXY STATEMENT

                           --------------------------







This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies
by the Board of Directors of Tri City Bankshares Corporation (the "Corporation")
to be  voted  at the  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  to be held at Tri  City
National Bank, 6400 South 27th Street,  Oak Creek,  Wisconsin 53154, on June 14,
2000,  at 9:30 a.m.,  for the purposes set forth in the  accompanying  Notice of
Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  The solicitation is made by the mailing of this
Proxy Statement with its  enclosures.  No other  solicitation  is  contemplated,
however, if it is necessary to assure adequate attendance at the Annual Meeting,
the  Corporation's  Board of  Directors  may, if it deems it  advisable,  make a
further solicitation by mail,  telephone,  telegraph,  and/or personal interview
for proxies.  Such  solicitation will be made by the officers of the Corporation
and will be limited in extent. The total expense of the solicitation,  including
reimbursement of banks, brokerage firms,  custodians,  nominees, and fiduciaries
for  reasonable  expenses  incurred by them in sending  proxy  materials  to the
beneficial  owners of the  Corporation's  common  stock,  $1.00  par value  (the
"Common Stock"), will be borne by the Corporation. The approximate date on which
this Proxy  Statement  and  accompanying  proxy card are first  being  mailed to
shareholders is May 5, 2000.

Shareholders  are asked to complete,  sign, and return the enclosed  proxy.  The
proxy  may be  revoked  by you at any time  before  it is  voted  at the  Annual
Meeting.  Prior  to the  Annual  Meeting,  this  may be done by  execution  of a
later-dated  proxy  or by  written  revocation  sent  to  the  Secretary  of the
Corporation,  Mr. Scott A. Wilson, at the office of the Corporation,  6400 South
27th Street, Oak Creek, Wisconsin 53154. Alternatively, the proxy may be revoked
at the  Annual  Meeting  by oral or  written  request  to the  Secretary  of the
Corporation.

Only  shareholders  of record at the close of  business  on April 21,  2000 (the
"Record  Date") will be entitled to vote at the  meeting.  There were  2,549,679
shares of the Common Stock of the  Corporation  outstanding  on that date,  each
share being entitled to one vote.

The presence,  in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares
of the Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date is required for a quorum with
respect  to the  matters on which  action is to be taken at the Annual  Meeting.
Abstentions  and broker  non-votes  (i.e.,  proxies  from  brokers  or  nominees
indicating that such persons have not received  instructions from the beneficial
owner to vote  shares  as to a matter  with  respect  to which  the  brokers  or
nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for
purposes of determining a quorum.

                              ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors  proposes that the fifteen- (15) nominees  named below be
elected to serve as directors  for the ensuing  year and until their  successors
are elected and  qualified.  Proxies  received by the Board of Directors will be
voted FOR the election of the following  fifteen (15) persons,  unless otherwise
indicated,  but,  if any such  nominee  is  unable to  serve,  due to  presently
unforeseen  circumstances,  proxies may be voted for another person nominated by
the Board of  Directors.  Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast
by holders of the  Corporation's  Common Stock  entitled to vote at a meeting at
which a quorum is present. In other words, the fifteen directors who receive the
largest  number of votes  will be elected  as  directors.  Any shares not voted,
whether by withheld authority, broker non-vote or otherwise, will have no effect
in the election of  directors  except to the extent that the failure to vote for
an individual results in another  individual  receiving a lager number of votes.
Any votes  attempted to be cast "against" a candidate are not given legal effect
and are not  counted as votes in an election  of  directors.  All of the persons
nominated as directors are currently  directors of the  Corporation  and, except
for Mrs. Ulrich and Mr. Komisar, were elected at the last annual meeting held on
June 9, 1999, for a one year term which expires at the 2000 Annual Meeting.  All
of the nominees have  consented to serve if elected,  and the Board of Directors
is not  aware of any  nominee  who may be  unable  to serve as a  director.  The
directors  and officers of the  Corporation  beneficially  own a majority of the
Corporation's outstanding Common Stock. Accordingly, assuming that all directors
and  executive  officers vote for the nominees  listed  below,  election of such
nominees is assured.

The   Corporation's   Board  of  Directors  has  standing  Audit  and  Executive
Committees. The Executive Committee is composed of Messrs. Fedderly,  Gravitter,
Karbiner, Krantz and Puetz. The Executive Committee's purpose is to exercise the
powers of the full Board between regular meetings of the Board. During 1999, the
Executive  Committee  held four  meetings.  The Audit  Committee  is composed of
Messrs. Fedderly, Krantz, Lauterbach, McGovern and Werry 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 1999.  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  fifteen  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 four meetings  during 1999. All incumbent  directors
attended  75% or more of the meetings of the Board and the  committees  on which
they served  during  1999,  except for Mr.  Gravitter  who attended 25% of those
meetings and Mr. Lauterbach who attended 50% of those meetings.

                             EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following table sets forth all cash compensation paid by the Corporation and
its subsidiaries  during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997

                        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
Corporation'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 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 Corporation.

Except  for the  bonus,  there is no  specific  relationship  between  corporate
performance and executive salaries and benefits. In 1999, executive compensation
was  determined by the President of the  Corporation  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; and
         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  were  submitted to the full Board of
Directors for approval.  After reviewing the recommendations,  the Board members
had an  opportunity  to discuss any factors they deemed  relevant - there was no
agenda or specific list of factors to be discussed.  The  recommendations of the
President were approved by the Board without adjustment.

The Corporation  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 Corporation 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 Corporation.

                                 DIRECTORS' FEES

In 1999,  the  directors of the  Corporation,  who were not also officers of the
Corporation, received $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 1999 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.

Mrs. Agatha T. Ulrich and Mr. David A. Ulrich, Jr. directors of the Corporation,
are principal  shareholders 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 eleven Tri City National
Bank  branch  offices   located  in  Pick  N'Save  food  stores  in  Brookfield,
Greenfield,  Milwaukee,  Oak Creek and West Allis.  The Central Office  building
lease has a five-year term, through 2000, with one five-year renewal option. The
branches  located in local food  stores have lease terms of three to five years,
through December 2000, with three five-year  renewal options.  The annual rental
for 1999 paid in connection with all of the aforementioned  leases was $392,108,
subject to  adjustment  as a result of increases  in the  consumer  price index.
Pursuant to the Central Office lease only, the  Corporation 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 properly 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  have not yet selected an  independent  auditor for the 2000  year-end
audit. The Committee and the Board are currently  considering  either hiring the
Corporation's  current  independent  auditor,  Ernst & Young, or soliciting bids
from several independent  auditors,  including Ernst & Young. A decision has not
been made as of the date of this Proxy  Statement.  Ernst & Young have served as
the  Corporation's  accountants  for the  past  seventeen  years.  The  services
provided by Ernst & Young since  January 1, 1999  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 2000 Annual  Meeting of  Shareholders  must be received by the
Corporation no later than January 5, 2001.

                            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) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Corporation's
officers  and  directors  to file  reports  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  disclosing their ownership,  and changes in their ownership of stock
in the  Corporation.  Copies  of these  reports  must also be  furnished  to the
Corporation.  Based solely on a review of these copies, the Corporation believes
that  during  1999,  its  officers  and  directors   complied  with  all  filing
requirements under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

                                    FORM 10-K

A COPY OF THE  CORPORATION'S  FORM 10-K WHICH WAS FILED WITH THE  SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 MAY BE OBTAINED WITHOUT
CHARGE BY ANY PERSON WHO WAS A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE  CORPORATION'S  SHARES AS
