Riley
County Conservation District (RCCD) was organized on June 10, 1948.
In
Kansas, conservation districts are self-governed agencies. The governing
body of a conservation district consists of five elected district supervisors.
A district supervisor has a unique niche among agencies managing Kansas'
natural resources. Supervisors serve as grassroots representatives of
landowners and the general public in their community, providing leadership
and direction of volunteer cooperation in natural resource conservation
programs.
Supervisors
receive no compensation for services, but are entitled to travel expenses
incurred in the discharge of their duties. Supervisors of the conservation
district meet once a month and review the business of the office and
make the conservation decisions for the county with the technical advise
of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The board
members donate many hours of their time every month to activities to
promote conservation in their county.
Employees
are hired by the board to run the day-to-day business of the Conservation
District. Riley County Conservation District employs a District Manager
and a Non-Point Source Pollution Water Quality/Buffer Coordinator. Some county
conservation districts hire secretaries, clerks, technicians, education
staff, etc.
