DISTRICT GOVERNANCE and FUNDING
The Clear Creek Conservation District is governed by a board of five supervisors. Supervisors are locally elected officials who serve without pay. By state statute three are rural, one is urban and one is designated as at-large. They are elected to staggered four-year terms. Supervisors attend monthly board meetings and are also involved in overseeing the activities of the District.
The District Staff provides a written report to the Board each month and both the Board and District employees work closely to carry out programs and projects. The board meets the third Tuesday of each month at 6 pm at 500 W Lott St, Suite B, unless otherwise publicized.  These are open meetings and the public is invited to attend.
The district is funded primarily though a local mill levy tax and grant funds.

DISTRICT HISTORY
The Clear Creek Conservation District was established in 1946 as the nation saw a need for conserving soil during the dust bowl era.  Over the years the need of conservation of other natural resources grew as well and the CCCD responded.  The district now includes watershed planning for improving water availability and quality, wildlife habitat enhancement,  integrated pest management, land use management and conservation education

DISTRICT GOALS
Operations: Be accountable for public funds.  Ensure all District programs are carried out in a responsible manner.
 
Information and Education: Expand and strengthen the Districts information and education program to enhance natural resource conservation through youth and adult education via workshops, tours and informational materials.
 
Tree Program: Encourage the planting of trees to aid in the conservation of natural resources.
 
Watershed Planning: Work cooperatively with local landowners, resource agencies and groups to address water quality issues and concerns through watershed planning efforts.
 
Special Projects: Provide information and technical assistance to northern Johnson County residents who have resource concerns that are not addressed through other District programs.
