Tuesday is the last day to vote in the KCD board of supervisors election

By Diane Hettrick

Tuesday is the end of voting for the King Conservation District Board of Supervisors. Their voting process is greatly improved this year and it only took me a few minutes to review the candidate statements, set up and submit my ballot.

Previous balloting was confusing and messy, so this is the first year I have voted. Eventually I hope that the King County Elections office will take over the voting.

Here's the information sent out by KCD:

King Conservation District Board of Supervisors

King Conservation District is a special purpose district committed to helping people engage in stewardship and conservation of natural resources, serving over two million people in 34 cities and unincorporated King County. KCD assists people with forestry management, streamside and shoreline restoration, farm conservation planning, and other environmental efforts. KCD is funded primarily by a per-parcel assessment fee.

An all-volunteer, five-member Board of Supervisors is responsible for overseeing KCD operations, budget, and setting policy. Voters elect three supervisors and the Washington State Conservation Commission appoints two supervisors. Supervisors serve three-year terms.
