Lake County Water Authority refines mission goals and approves Executive Director recommendations; leadership re-elected
Summary
Director Wendy Pogue presented a refined mission and performance-measure plan tied to state statutes and county ordinances; trustees unanimously approved Executive Director recommendations and re-elected the current chair and vice chair in 5-0 votes.
Wendy Pogue, director of water resources for the Lake County Water Authority, presented a refined mission statement and performance measures designed to guide five-year planning and annual reporting. Pogue cited House Bill 11-05 and 70-13 and Lake County Code of Ordinances chapter 24-2 as authorities that define the authority’s role in natural-resource conservation and water-quality improvements.
Pogue said the authority will publish five-year plans and annual reports to the state legislature and the St. Johns River Water Management District, and she described programs and activities — including operation of a nutrient-reduction facility, green infrastructure projects, land acquisition and education programs — intended to meet performance objectives.
After questions from trustees about whether performance measures would later be populated with specific metrics, a trustee confirmed that Pogue will return with numbers as part of the five-year plan. The board then voted to approve the Executive Director's Recommendations 1 through 3 (including subitems 3-1 and 3-2). The motion was moved and seconded and passed unanimously (vote recorded as 5-0).
Votes at a glance: • Chair reelection — motion moved by an unnamed trustee, seconded; outcome: 5-0 in favor. • Vice chair reelection — motion moved and seconded; outcome: 5-0 in favor. • Minutes approval (11/20/2024) — approved 5-0. • Consent agenda (tabs 2–3) — approved 5-0. • Executive Director's Recommendations 1–3 (with subitems) — approved 5-0.
Why it matters: Trustees framed the refined mission and performance measures as the framework for future budget and program decisions, including grant prioritization and project selection. Pogue’s presentation sets a timetable for publishing the authority’s formal five-year plan and related annual reports.
