Updates from recent Watershed board meeting

​LRIA Members,
Happy New Year!  I hope everyone had a great end to 2017, and that 2018 is off to a fantastic start.  Wanted to provide some key information from recent Watershed Board meetings.  One item to pay particular attention to is item number 1, the Watershed 10-Year plan, which is currently out for public comment.  See below for details and links.
 

1. The Riley, Purgatory, Bluff Creek Watershed District 10 year plan is currently available for public comment before it becomes finalized.  This plan is important because it outlines the priorities and projects for the watershed district over the next 10 years.  Comments can be made directly into the PDF through the website, or a printout can be marked up and delivered to the Watershed office.  Additionally, comments can be sent to the LRIA board and we can pass along to the watershed.  Comment period ends January 15th, 2018.

1. The Board of Managers for the Watershed has extended the deadline for applications to the 2018 Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) until January 26, 2017.  An initial 10 members were confirmed in December, but they are hoping to get 2 additional.  See link below if you are interested.
