The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) is a resident-led volunteer advisory group to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) that is appointed by the District Board of Managers. The CAC assists the Board of Managers on matters affecting the interests of the Watershed District such as providing feedback on the District’s strategic initiatives, organizational plans, and policy priorities.

• Consider issues relevant to the function and purposes of the Watershed District
• Examine, refine, and build upon the strategy and communications for the District’s key initiatives
• Review and advise on the budget, capital improvement plans, and District projects or activities
• Advise and assist in decision-making
• Raise issues of concern from the public
