Press release from the Wright County Government: January 6, 2021 At the first meeting of 2021, the Wright County Board was tasked to make some of the most important decisions it makes at any point during the year. At its annual reorganizational meeting, the board named a new chairperson (Commissioner Mark Daleiden) and swore in two new commissioners (Mary Wetter and Mike Kaczmarek). Following those procedural measures, the first order of business was to make the committee and advisory board assignments for the commissioners, who represent the county board on the more than 50 committees and advisory boards the commissioner sit on. Unlike the previous few years where this was a quick process because the county board was comprised of the same five members, with two new commissioners coming to the board (and two leaving), many of the committee and advisory board assignments were vacant and required filling. The following are the results of the division of assignments among the five commissioners. Alternate members are listed in parentheses: COMMITTEES Budget Committee of the Whole – All commissioners Building Committee – Kaczmarek, Wetter Ditch Committee – Daleiden, Kaczmarek (Christine Husom) Finance/Capital Improvement Projects – Darek Vetsch, Daleiden Noxious Weed Appeals Committee – Daleiden, Kaczmarek Nuclear – Vetsch, Husom (Wetter) Owner's Committee (New Government Center) – Vetsch, Daleiden Personnel/Employee Relations – Daleiden, Vetsch (Kaczmarek) Safety Committee – Kaczmarek, Husom Security Committee – Husom, Kaczmarek Tax Forfeit Committee – Wetter, Kaczmarek Technology – Vetsch, Daleiden Transportation Committee of the Whole – All commissioners Ways & Means – Husom, Wetter 911 Planning Committee – Husom, Kaczmarek (Wetter) ADVISORY BOARDS Aquatic Invasive Species Advisory Board – Husom, Wetter Area Transportation Planning – Vetsch Bertram Chain of Lakes Advisory Board – Daleiden, Vetsch Central MN Economic Development 7W District Joint Powers Board – Vetsch (Wetter) Central MN EMS Region Joint Powers Board – Husom (Kaczmarek) Central MN Jobs & Training Joint Powers Board Workforce Center – Husom Central MN Emergency Services Board (Regional Radio Board) – Husom (Kaczmarek) Central Mississippi River Regional Planning Partnership – Vetsch County Extension Service – Wetter, Daleiden Delegates to the Association of Minnesota Counties – All commissioners East Central Joint Powers Board – Vetsch Economic Development Partnership – Vetsch (Wetter) Great River Regional Library Board – Vetsch Highway 55 Coalition – Husom, Wetter Historical Society – Wetter I-94 Coalition – Vetsch Law Library Board – Husom Legislative Matters – All commissioners Mentorship Education and Drug Awareness (MEADA) – Husom MN Rural Counties – Kaczmarek (Wetter) Monticello Joint Planning Board – Vetsch One Watershed, One Plan Policy Committee – Wetter Parks Advisory Board – Daleiden Planning Commission – Kaczmarek Public Works Labor/Management – Husom (Vetsch) Region 7W Transportation – Vetsch Regional Crime Lab – Husom Safe Communities of Wright County – Husom Safe Harbor Task Force – Husom Soil & Water Conservation District – Wetter Trailblazer Joint Powers Board – Vetsch The Turn Steering Committee – Husom Twin Cities Urbanized Areas Boundaries – Vetsch Water Management Task Force – Wetter Wright County Agricultural Society – Kaczmarek Wright County Areas Transportation Advisory Council (WCAT) – Vetsch, Wetter Wright County Community Action Council – Daleiden, Wetter This press release was produced by the Wright County Government.
