District Board of Supervisors

The District is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors made up of three elected members and two appointed members. Filing date for the elected members is at noon the first Friday in July the year of the election at the County Board of Elections. The election in non-partisan and no primary election is held. Candidates for the office of supervisors are voted on in November along with other public officials.

The appointed members of the board are appointed by the State Soil and Water Conservation Commission, usually on the recommendations of the three publically elected supervisors and is done so after the public election. The Board organizes itself at the first meeting in the calendar year, usually January. Officers on the board are: Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary-Treasurer. Supervisors receive no pay for their services; however, they do receive some travel and subsistence from the State for performing their official duties.

All meetings of the Board of Supervisors are open to the public and announcements of their meeting schedule are made ten days prior to the meeting each month. Anyone desiring to attend the meetings may get information of the meeting plans at the Natural Resource Conservation Service / District Office, Burnsville, N.C.
