PLSLWD Manager Marianne Breitbach recognized for nearly 6 years on Board

Posted by PLSLWD Staff - March 30, 2018 - News

Marianne Breitbach joined the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District Board of Managers in 2012 after a 30-year career as a Technician in the Civil Engineering field. Her lifelong passion to protect water resources was inspired by spending summers as a child and an adult at her family cabin – located on Big Marine Lake in Washington County. She and her husband, John, live close to the shores of Prior Lake.

At PLSLWD, Marianne demonstrated that passion as a dedicated volunteer wherever help was needed. She volunteered at the District office, Lakefront Days, Clean Water Clean-Ups, carp seines and helped plant native species at the District’s restoration projects at Watzl’s Beach and Fish Point Park.

She served as Vice President on the PLSLWD Board and as the liaison to the PLSLWD’s Citizen Advisory Committee as well as to the Lower Minnesota Watershed District. Marianne also represented the District at the Minnesota Association of Watershed Districts’ (MAWD) statewide and Metro region meetings, in addition to assisting with the restructuring of that trade organization. Marianne’s nearly 6-year tenure on the PLSLWD Board of Managers is very much appreciated!

Note: Marianne’s second term ended in March. Watershed districts are local, special-purpose units of government that work to solve and prevent water-related problems that go beyond political boundaries. The Scott County Board of Commissioners appoints individuals to serve for three-year staggered terms on the District’s Board of Managers. There are five managers on the board and they are responsible for directing the District’s policies.

Mike Myser Sworn in as Newest Addition to District Board of Managers

Posted by PLSLWD Staff - March 28, 2018 - News

Mike Myser was sworn in as the newest addition to the Prior Lake-Spring Lake Watershed District’s (PLSLWD) Board of Managers at the March 13 board meeting. In anticipation of his three-year term, Myser said, “I look forward to providing innovative ideas and fresh perspectives as a new Board member. I will strive to seek out the best ideas to secure water quality and manage water quantity – whatever they may be-and get them implemented, in a cost-effective way.”

Myser is no stranger to the subject of water quality. Having lived on Prior Lake for 15 years, he is an avid SCUBA diver and boater and loves to spend time on the lake with his family and friends. He has been a strong advocate for protecting water quality and has been very involved in the community in a variety of capacities. During his tenure as the Mayor of Prior Lake from 2010-2012, Myser served as the City’s liaison to PLSLWD, participating in PLSLWD’s meetings and workshops, and was an active member in Scott County Association for Leadership and Efficiency (SCALE).

Myser has had a long career in business, sales and marketing. He is currently the co-owner of a technology company which develops cloud-based software solutions for companies and state agencies for energy and water conservation applications.
