5.b) Nominations to Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District Board of Managers Meeting Date: 4/7/2009 Agenda Item: � � � City Council Ager�da RepQrt City of Scandia 14727 209`�' St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Consider making a nomination to the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD) board of managers. Deadline/ Timeline: The County requested nominations by April 24. Background: • Cities and townships may nominate individuals to serve on the board of managers of watershed districts. Appointments are made by the county board. • The county has requested nominations for a vacancy that will occur when the term of office for Steve Kronmiller expires on June 21, 2009. • In September of 2009 the City was asked to supply nominations for another pendin�vacancy. The Council nominated Michael White (13310 188t St. N.) but he was not appointed. He is still interested in serving. • The City also has an application on file from Gary Orlich(14777 197th St. N.) He remains interested in serving if the Council supports his nomination. Recommendation: The Council should consider whether to resubmit the nomination of Michael White, or consider nominating Gary Orlich. The Council could also postpone the matter to the April 21 meeting to see if there are others who may wish to apply. Attachments/ • Letter dated March 23, 2009 from Washington County Materials provided: . General information on Watershed Districts (from Washington County) • Application for appointment to watershed district from Michael White and Gary Orlich Contact(s): � Prepared by: Anne Hurlburt, Administrator (crosc wsd nominations) Page 1 of 1 04/O 1/09 � What are the advantages of having a Watershed District'? • A Watershed District provides a stable mechanism for dealing with water m�nagement problems that cross the boundaries of several local governmental jurisdictions. In many instances, the attitudes and approaches taken by local officials vary considerably depending upon their geographic position in the watershed. In many cases, upstream areas are reluctant to admit that their activities are contributing to problems downstream, or else they are reluctant to voluntarily join in efforts to downstream parties to solve water problems. The watershed district approach has been used in many instances to provide a mechanism for overcoming such upstream- downstream controversies. • Secondly, it provides a local organization that can concentrate its efforts solely on water management. Officials of general purpose local units of government have many other responsibilities to deal with, and therefore, water management often takes a back seat to other local concerns. Water management is also a controversial subject because it necessitates dealing with people's property and how that property is � used. It is often di�cult for local officials to find support in their own areas for watPr management activities, when the primary benefits are going to occur in a different area. It is easier for a watershed district board of mana�ers to have a watershed-wide perspective of the problems and solutions, and to devote more of their time to water management efforts. • Finallv, the �Vatershed Act itself is designed specifically as a tool for managing water, and contains procedures and authorities that can facilitate S \ solutions to water problems. For example, once a district�s Watershed Management Plan is in place, landowners can petition the board of managers for any type of project that conforms to the plan. This fle:cibilitv makes it possible for a district to become involved in just about any type of project that may be needed to alleviate a local water problem. It is important to remember that watershed districts are not the sole managers of water resources. Counties also have many authorities relating to water management and certainly are capable of doing what a watershed district can if they are motivated and � have the necessary support with adjoining counties. s:lwatershe.wpd B.W.S.R. lo Y�'as�gt�� Watershed Districts �"�-��O�n� Brown's Creek APPLICATiON FOR APPOINTMENT Carnelian-Marine TO WATERSHED DISTRICT ComfoA Lake-Forest Lake ��I�J(x Ramsey-Washington Co.�2:ve� t�e.ti- /�lc�cl�v tiz — � ,. nnet�o Watershed District Rice Creek South Washington INSTRUCTIONS: va��ey srancn 1.
