Lake District Board

A lake district board, often called the board of commissioners, is a group responsible for governing a lake district, a special purpose unit of government focused on managing a lake and its surrounding area. These boards typically consist of elected and appointed members who oversee various aspects of the district's operations and work towards preserving lake Michelle resources and recreational value.
