CITY OF SCANDIA
I am writing to inform you that I am interested in being reappointed to the Carnelian
Marine St. Croix Watershed District board of managers.
As a manager I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about the health of our water
resources and how we can use "best practices" to protect or restore them. I am
honored to participate in the decision making to draft policies and determine
projects that follow the general intent of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 103B and
1031):
"To conserve the natural resources of the state by land use planning, flood control
and other conservation projects, using sound scientific principles for the protection
of the public health and welfare and the provident use of natural resources".
The purpose is broad-based and includes fourteen different provisions.
I am currently the only manager who lives in Scandia and believe it is important for
someone to represent our area.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.
Sincerely,
Kristin Tuenge
