District Operations & Resolutions Committee
The District Operations and Resolutions Committee assists KACD in its efforts to meet the needs of
its member districts and supervisors in implementing the Kansas Conservation District Act, or District Law. The
committee provides training and programs for member districts and supervisors to acquire skills and resources
necessary to carry out the operations of the conservation district. Resolutions are the way member KACD districts give direction to their association. The committee reviews resolutions presented to the association and educates the membership on the association’s resolution process.
The District Operations and Resolutions Committee is now recruiting members to serve on this committee. Please contact committee chair, Wayne Lukert if you are intersted in serving.
Everything a conservation district board does stems from the Kansas Conservation District Act, or District Law. Implementing that law is the only reason for the existence of the conservation district.
The following three background questions need to be understood by all conservation district supervisors:
- What is the Conservation District Law?
The Kansas Conservation District Law, or District Law, is the mechanism the people of the state of Kansas, acting through the state legislature, have chosen to address natural resource conservation in Kansas. - What is the purpose of a Kansas conservation district?
The purpose of a Kansas conservation district is to implement District Law in the conservation district. - What is the purpose of a conservation district board?
The conservation district board, made up of five supervisors elected by the qualified electors of the conservation district is charged with the implementation of District Law in that board’s respective conservation district.
The ethics of being a supervisor include understanding what the job entails and taking on the responsibility of educating oneself to be able to do that job. As the district supervisor understands his or her roles and responsibilities as a conservation district official, they will also better understand the need to acquire additional skills to better do their job.
