This position is a four -year term and usually requires one to three meetings monthly. The filing period is open July 2 through July 16th. Interested parties can call Anoka County Elections office at 763-323-5275 for filing information. There is a $20.00 filing fee and each applicant will receive a filing packet with election regulations. People interested in influencing natural resources issues at the local level are encouraged to file. Chairman Kim Kovich encourages all those interested to file. "Serving as an SWCD supervisor is not only a meaningful way to influence the environment, it is a great way to get involved in local government ", says Mr. Kovich. An elected five- member board governs each of Minnesota's 91 SWCDs. SWCD supervisors have three main responsibilities during their four -year term. They set overall policy and long -term objectives for their districts, develop their district's annual and comprehensive plans, and work with SWCD staff to see that policies and plans are implemented. They are not paid a salary; however, they do receive compensation for attending meetings and are reimbursed for expenses. Although the supervisors are elected at -large — meaning that every eligible voter in the district may vote for all open supervisor positions — they are nominated from one of five districts within the County. An individual must live in a nominating district with an open supervisor position in order to run. The open positions are in District Three (Coon Rapids, Spring Lake Park, Fridley, Hilltop, Columbia Heights) and District Four (Ham Lake, Blaine, Lino Lakes, Circle Pines, Centerville, Lexington). Supervisors do not participate in primary elections but the positions are filled through general elections on November 5th.
