Welcome our new Board Manager, Brian!
The District is excited to welcome Brian Kirk as our new Board Manager!
Brian Kirk was appointed in October 2024 as the newest Board Manger for the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. Living in Minnetonka, Manager Kirk served seven-years on the Planning Commission and four-years on the City Council. He has also served on the Community Advisory Committee for the SW LRT, the Minnetonka 2040 Comp Plan Steering Committee, and the Citizens Steering Committee, which evaluated community trends and natural resources. While on the City Council, Kirk approved the new Sustainability Commission, establish the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Commission, and the City’s Climate Action Plan.
Manager Kirk has worked for the YMCA of the North for 38 years in many different leadership positions in YMCA Camping, Health and Wellness, and is currently the Director of Design and Construction. He has a degree in Architecture from the North Dakota State University.
Serving the City of Minnetonka for seven years he saw that as a community we agree that our natural resources are our top priority and something we appreciate most. We need to realize how global climate change is impacting the resilience of our natural resources and the importance of managing storm-water. Kirk recognizes the critical roll the Watershed Board plays when prioritizing restoration projects and protecting our natural resources when reviewing development projects.
We are happy to welcome Manager Kirk to our Board!
