North Koochiching Sanitary Sewer Board, Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District reorganized

A new law will reorganize the North Koochiching Sanitary Sewer Board and the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District.

Four member positions are removed; however, two are redistributed. The result is International Falls loses a member, the East Koochiching county sewer district gains one, and an at-large member position is created.

The law also allows the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District to be reduced from five members to three and makes technical corrections to the election process once the district has three members. This takes effect upon the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District’s compliance with the local approval requirements.

The rest of the law takes effect the day after the North Koochiching board’s compliance with local approval.

Rep. Roger Skraba (R-Ely) and Sen. Grant Hauschild (DFL-Hermantown) are the sponsors.
