Board and Governance
Otonabee Conservation is accountable to its watershed residents through our Board of Directors. Board members are representatives appointed from each of our member municipality's elected Councils. Governance by elected local decision makers is key to our work addressing local issues and priorities.
Working With Our Member Municipalities
The Otonabee Conservation Board of Directors is comprised of 11 members representing the 8 municipalities located either entirely, or partly, within the Otonabee Region watershed.
Under the new Ontario Regulation 686/21 Conservation Authorities are required to break out the services that are provided into three Categories:
- Category 1 – Mandatory Services
- Category 2 – Municipally Requested Services
- Category 3 – Conservation Authority Initiatives
We have Service Agreements signed for Plan Review (Category 1) with each of our municipalities.
The legislation also requires that a Cost Apportioning Agreement be in place when Category 3 Programs and Services are funded by municipal levy within a municipality. The Cost Apportioning Agreement allows for greater transparency and cost assurance for municipalities.
Included under Category 3 Programs and Services are our Local Water Monitoring Program, Climate Change Initiatives, and Land Stewardship Services.
