News release
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners is accepting
applications for two vacancies on the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board.
The terms for current members Jeffrey Casale and Sherry White are expiring,
though both are seeking reappointment.
This board coordinates the management of water and related land
resources in the watershed that drains into Lake Minnetonka and Minnehaha Creek.
The cities of Excelsior,
Greenwood, Long Lake, Minnetonka Beach, Mound, Orono, St. Bonifacius, Spring
Park, Tonka Bay and Wayzata lie entirely within the district. Portions of Deephaven,
Edina, Golden Valley, Hopkins, Independence, Maple Plain, Medina, Minneapolis,
Minnetonka, Minnetrista, Plymouth, Richfield, St. Louis Park, Shorewood and
Woodland are also in the district. Because of the
nature of the board, it is helpful for members to have a background in water
conservation, development, law, engineering, environment or public
administration. Members serve three-year terms.
The deadline for applications is February 19 with interviews to
be held at the following board committee meeting.
A watershed district board member may not be a public officer of
the county, state or federal government and must be a resident of the district.
Board members serve three-year terms. Meetings are held the fourth Thursday of
each month at 6:45 p.m. at the district office.
For more information about this vacancy or other advisory board
appointments, and to apply online, visit the Hennepin County website at www.hennepin.us/advisoryboards.
