(�5.c� SCANDIA Staff Report Date of Meeting: October 23, 2012 To: City Council From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator Re: Washington County Watershed Districts Agenda Item#: 4 Background: Washington County has provided us with the required 90 day notice for terms expiring on the Rice Creek Watershed Board. Terms will be up on the other watershed district early next year. A copy of the notice from Washington County is attached. Issue: Does the Council have any recommendations for the upcoming openings on the watershed district boards? � Washin.gton Office of Administration � . ��O��t' Molly F. O'Rourke,County Administrator yKevin Corbid, Deputy Administrator ��;�.�.�..� October, 20�2 � OCT �i � 2 017.. (^!��r E'l�' l'r^r.if��- To City Clerks With Watershed Districts Within Their Boundaries 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 pat.raddatz@co.washington.mn.us. Sincerely, ��� Patricia A.
