Which Boards would you like to apply for:
Watershed Districts
Please list the experience or skills you have related to the appointment you are seeking:
I have lived on Big marine lake for 28 years and been a part of the Big Marine Lake Association for 15 years
and my skills are that I am familiar with the following things that are a part of Rig Marine lake: invasive
species, water levels, ice heaves, shoreline restoration, effects of the high water levels, the weir dam on Cty.
Rd 4 and through the Kelly farm.
Please list special or personal interests relating to the appointment you are seeking.
I am seeking this position because I have a personal interest in helping the people on the lake. I know many
of the home/cabin owners and the people at the Vets Camp and want them to be able to seek my help or
advice without being afraid to contact me. I teel they know me as a good person and someone that they can
trust. I feel there needs to be more focus on the water that flows out of Big Marine through the Kelly farm to
Carnelian and then to the river. This has a big effect on the lake shore damage that the homeowners on Big
Marine have been experiencing.
Why do you want this appointment?
I want to protect our water source throughout the water district and bF responsible for the taxpayers money.
I want to ensure we have clean water and I want to represent the peop:e on the lakes
Are you currently serving on any other County Advisory Boards or Committees/Commissions?
Have you notified your local municipality of your interest in seeking appointment as a Watershed
manager?
