Lists from townships and municipalities must be submitted to the county board at <br />least 60 days prior to the expiration of the term of office of a manager. The County Board shall <br />make its appointment at least 30 days prior to the term expiration. <br /> <br />The county will aggregate the names of nominees from all the lists submitted by the townships and <br />municipalities for the board’s consideration. If the aggregate list of nominees contains at least 3 <br />names, the county must appoint a manager from the list of township and municipality nominees. In <br />making the appointment, the county must also consider the statutory requirement that managers be <br />appointed to fairly represent the hydrological areas of the district. <br /> <br />If the aggregate list contains less than 3 nominee names, or if appointing a nominee from the <br />submitted lists will not allow for fair representation of the various hydrological areas of the district, <br />the county board may appoint any individual who resides within the watershed district and is <br />otherwise eligible to serve. <br /> <br />If you wish to submit a list of nominees for consideration or wish the incumbent to be considered <br />for reappointment, your list should be sent to me prior to November 19, 2024. <br /> <br />The county's advisory board application form is attached. Please duplicate it as necessary. <br /> <br />Thank you for your assistance in filling this important watershed position. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Holly Hess <br />Administrative Assistant <br />14949 62nd Street North <br />Stillwater, MN 55082 <br /> <br />Cc: County Board of Commissioners <br /> Kevin Corbid, County Administrator
