The city of Scandia is looking for a nominee to represent the Scandia/ Big Marine Lake area on the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District board of managers. Interested residents should submit their applications to the city no later than Friday, March 28 to be considered for nomination. State statute provides that the county board may select watershed district managers from lists submitted by the municipalities in the district. The vacancy is due to the resignation of a board member residing in the Marine on St. Croix/ Big Marine Lake Area, so applicants from that area would be given preference. Watershed districts are a special purpose local unit of government established to manage water resources. Their boundaries transcend city and county boundaries and are determined by the natural boundaries of the watershed. The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District includes all or part of Scandia, Grant, Hugo and Marine on St. Croix, and May and Stillwater townships. For an application form and a description of watershed duties, contact City Administrator Anne Hurlburt or see the city’s website at www.ci.scandia.mn.us.
