Governance Structure
for Implementing WRIA 1 Programs, Integrated Working Document
The Governance Structure for Implementing WRIA 1 Programs, Integrated Working Document describes a proposed coordinated governance structure for WRIA 1 Watershed Management Project and WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Programs.
In 2007, the WRIA 1 Joint Board was presented with a three-phased governance structure for implementing WRIA 1 programs, which had been prepared jointly by members of the WRIA 1 Watershed Management Project Staff and WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Steering Committee and Work Group, and presented to the WRIA 1 Joint Board.
Phase 1 of the report, which consolidates meetings of the two policy boards, was approved by the WRIA 1 Joint Board and supported by the WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board. Phases 2 and 3 were not approved, and direction was provided for Staff Team to consider feasibility of implementing those organizational structures.
At the July 2009 combined WRIA 1 Joint Board and WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board meeting, the WRIA 1 Management Team component of the working document was approved. The WRIA 1 Management Team reflects WRIA 1 Joint Board and WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board representation and is composed of management and policy level individuals or their designee. Information on the purpose and role of the WRIA 1 Management Team is outlined in the working document. The structure and function of the Management Team is likely to be refined as other elements of the working document are discussed and advanced by the WRIA 1 Joint Board and WRIA 1 Salmon Recovery Board.
