Mission and Goals

The Newman Lake Flood Control Zone District was formed in 1968. The District is supervised by the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners who support an unpaid five member (plus 3 alternative members) to an Advisory Board. The County Engineer administers the District for the Advisory Board and the Board of County Commissioners.

Citizen concerns and interests have driven the mission of the District since its formation in 1968. It now covers a broad range of watershed issues from flood control and water quality improvement to watershed management.

The District was formed under RCW 86.15, Flood Control Zone Districts (see Appendix C-1 of the Policy and Procedures manual for a complete copy). The Spokane County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) are ex-officio, by virtue of their office, supervisors of the District. Also per RCW 86.15, the Spokane County Engineer administers the District. The District has a 5-member (plus 3 alternate members) Advisory Board. Members are appointed by the BCC and serve without pay.
