Summary

The board filled two manager slots on the Sand Hill River Watershed Board (Sean Berkey and Todd Peterson) and approved a slate of student appointments to the county Youth Advisory Board; both actions carried by voice vote.

Polk County commissioners appointed two managers—Sean Berkey and Todd Peterson—to the Sand Hill River Watershed Board of Managers after considering three applications and an attendance record for incumbents. A commissioner noted one incumbent had missed 4 of 12 meetings; the board opted to reappoint the candidate representing the south/east portion of the county and add a new applicant.

Separately, the board recognized and appointed a list of students to the Polk County Youth Advisory Board, including new members and returning representatives. Several students came forward for recognition; the board asked that a group photo be taken after the meeting.

Both appointment motions were moved, seconded, and approved by voice vote. A board member asked staff to follow up on any attendance concerns and to ensure future applicants meet participation expectations for advisory bodies.
