Policy Committee rejects creation of a new entity and votes to use existing GBERBA
Summary
After debate, the committee voted 7–3 against creating a new entity and instead voted to utilize the existing entity GBERBA (7 in favor) during its May 19, 2025 meeting.
Policy Committee members debated two options for the watershed partnership’s formal agreement structure and recorded two opposing motions on May 19, 2025. Britney Kawecki moved, with a second from Roger Pohlman, to create a new entity; that motion failed (in favor: Roger Pohlman, Jeff Bell, Britney Kawecki; against: Larry Cowing, Bruce Anderson, Curt Helland, Nicole Eckstrom, Kevin Kristenson, Kevin Paap, John Rollings).
Following that, John Rollings moved, seconded by Curt Helland, to utilize the existing entity GBERBA. The motion carried with seven members recorded in favor: Larry Cowing, Bruce Anderson, Curt Helland, Nicole Eckstrom, Kevin Kristenson, Kevin Paap and John Rollings. The transcript records both the failed and the successful motions by name and vote counts, marking a clear committee preference to continue under GBERBA rather than create a new organizational entity.
