Re: Expiring term on the Comfort Lake Forest Lake Watershed District Board
Background: The terms of office for Jackie McNamara, Forest Lake, and Wayne Moe, Scandia,
on the Comfort Lake -Forest Lake Watershed District, will expire on September 23, 2018. 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 the Council wishes to submit a list of nominees for
consideration or wishes the incumbent to be considered for reappointment, your joint or
separate list needs to be sent to the County prior to August 3, 2018.
Issue: Doe the Council wish to take action to recommend the reappointment to provide a listing of
nominees for the 2 positions.
