According to state statute, the tie is resolved by lot (coin flip, draw straws).  The statute is 5.01(4)(a):

If 2 or more candidates for the same office receive the greatest, but an equal number of votes, the winner shall be chosen by lot in the presence of the board of canvassers charged with the responsibility to determine the election, or in the case of an election for state or national office or metropolitan sewerage commissioner, if the commissioner is elected under s. 200.09 (11) (am), in the presence of the chairperson of the elections commission or the chairperson’s designee.

 

Municipal Board of Canvassers:  If the municipality has one ward or one set of results (which is the case for the Town of Delavan) the canvass shall be conducted publicly, and the election inspectors shall act as the municipal board of canvassers.  The municipal board of canvassers is required only when municipal offices or referenda appear on the ballot.  Ss. 5.15(6)(b), 7.51, and 7.53(1), Wis.

The person or persons making any appointment under this paragraph shall do so by letter which shall be signed by the person or persons, dated, and filed in the office of the municipal clerk.
