The House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Lacombe aims to continue the False River Watershed Council, which was established to improve the aquatic habitat of False River and manage its resources effectively. The council consists of representatives from various state and local agencies, the legislature, and concerned citizens, and is tasked with evaluating management strategies, protecting water quality, and identifying funding options for the watershed. The resolution emphasizes the importance of collaboration among government entities and stakeholders to achieve the goal of restoring the False River Watershed.
To enhance the council's effectiveness, the resolution proposes amendments to its membership, including representatives from key state departments and local government, ensuring that members possess the necessary expertise. The council is required to submit an annual report to relevant legislative committees and will not receive additional compensation for their service. Furthermore, the council will engage with federal resource agencies to gather input for their studies, reinforcing a comprehensive approach to watershed management and protection.
