RE: Notification of Watershed District Terms Which Expire in 2013
It has come to our attention that the 90 day notice we have given to cities and townships regarding
upcoming term expirations on watershed district boards is not always adequate time for municipalities to
discuss at their council or board meetings. In an effort to give you enough time to submit a list of
nominees or endorse managers who wish to be reappointed, I've attached a chart showing when the
vacancies occur and when I need to get a response back from you. The watersheds are listed by the date
of the vacancy.
State statute provides that the County Board will select watershed district managers from lists of
nominees submitted by the municipalities that are wholly or partially in the watershed district. The list
must contain at least three nominees for each manager's position to be filled. The list must be submitted
to the county at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the term of office of a manager. If no list is
submitted or if the list is not received 60 days prior to the manager's term of office expiring, the County
Board will then proceed to appoint a manager through its open appointment process. In either event, the
County Board shall make its appointment 30 days prior to the term expiration.
If you have any questions, give me a call at 651-430-6014; or,e-mail me at

Sincerely,
