2020 water management planning councils shall be established for each county with
the assistance of the appropriate area development district. Two (2) or more
counties may form a multicounty 2020 water management planning council. The
planning councils shall, as a minimum, be comprised of the following:
(a) Each county judge-executive or mayor of an urban-county government, or his
or her authorized representative;
(b) One (1) representative selected by each community public water system, as
defined in 401 KAR 8:010 sec. 1(71)(a), that provides water to persons in the
county;
(c) One (1) representative selected by a local health department in the county; and
(d) One (1) representative selected by each first, second, third, or fourth class city
that is not a water supplier or distributor, unless that city chooses to be
represented by another member of the planning council.
If, after the 2020 water management planning council appointments have been
made, a county judge/executive or mayor of an urban-county government
determines that any areas of the county or urban county government remain
unrepresented on the planning council, the county judge/executive or mayor of the
urban-county government may appoint an individual to represent that area.
The county judge/executive or mayor of an urban-county government or the county
judge/executive or the mayor's designated representative shall serve as the chair of
the 2020 water management planning council of which either the county
judge/executive or the mayor is a member.
Members of the 2020 water management planning councils shall serve without pay
but may be reimbursed by counties or appointing agencies for reasonable expenses
incurred to carry out the work of the councils.
The area development districts shall develop a forum for the chairpersons of the
2020 water management planning councils or multicounty planning councils to
meet on at least a quarterly basis for the purpose of developing regional service
strategies consistent with the findings and purpose set out in KRS 224A.300.
