Subcommittees

Proposals for Board action are first taken before an appropriate subcommittee for examination and the subcommittee makes a recommendation to the Board. These subcommittees consist of six to nine Board members, appointed by the Board Chair each January. Unless specifically authorized by the Board, subcommittees serve only in an advisory capacity and do not have the authority to act on behalf of the Board.

Subcommittee meetings are open to the public, but are not governed by public meetings statutes. Subcommittees may close portions of a meeting to discuss land rights negotiations, lawsuits or legal opinions, personnel matters, or strategic recommendations, but all subcommittee actions must be taken in open session. Minutes of subcommittee meetings are kept on file in the District office and are public record.

Subdistricts

You can quickly learn whether you live in the Lower Platte South NRD and, if you do, what subdistrict you live in by navigating our District Address Map to your specific home address! Simply click here or on either of the maps below and follow the directions. NRD Subdistricts are important because they determine who represents you on the NRD Board.  The ten LPSNRD subdistricts are shown, generally, on the maps below, followed by a listing of NRD Board members by subdistrict.  Again, click on either of the maps to learn the subdistrict of a specific street address.

Typically, NRD subdistrict boundaries change every ten years to reflect census figures. Boundaries last changed in 2011. Subdistrict boundaries follow voting precinct boundaries and that is another way to determine the subdistrict of your residence.  If you know what voting precinct you live in, you can check our listing of voting precincts by subdistrict.

To determine what subdistrict you live in, you may also contact the NRD with your section/township/range information if you have a rural address, or your street address if you live in town.
