Our office is legal counsel for the Vermillion WMO. The terms of Commissioners Bud
Osmundson and Dennis Miranowski expire on December 31, 1995. They will continue as
members, however, until they are reappointed or replaced.
Rules of the State Board of Water and Soil Resources ( "B.W.S.R. ") require that the
B.W.S.R. be notified of the vacancies and that notice also be published in a local newspaper.
I have notified the B.W.S.R. of the vacancies and have had the enclosed legal notice published
in the Dakota County Tribune.
Paragraph 6, Subd. 1, of the Joint Powers Agreement, copy enclosed, explains how the
six member cities make an appointment:
• _ each City Council must select a delegate to select the new commissioner.
• the delegates so selected are required to meet upon 10 -days advance notice given
by the Lakeville City Clerk: ,
• ' the delegates by majority vote select the new commissioner.
