MN 55323 <br />Atten: Mr. Ron Moorse <br />Dear Mr. Moorse: <br />At the end of this month, my term as a Board Manager for the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District (MCWD) expires. I have applied for one of the two Board Manager’s <br />positions that are open. I am writing to ask for the support of the city for my re­ <br />appointment. <br />Over the last year I have had the opportunity to see first hand the Board’s strengths and <br />weaknesses. I have found that each Board Manager has a strong commitment to <br />improve the quality of the watershed. However, instead spending their time on <br />establishing a framework for effective management, far too much time has been <br />focused on routine permitting and enforcement. This approach has led to a blurring of <br />staff and board responsibilities that prevents the MCWD from being as effective as it <br />could be. <br />If I am re-appointed to the Board, my commitment to your city is to: <br />•Work to move the Board away from the inclination to co-opt staff responsibilities <br />and in its place establish a strategy for the management of the watershed that <br />meets the needs/goals of the Board and its member cities.
