Dale Twing Announces Bid for Reelection as Drain Commissioner

I have served as drain commissioner since 2012 with my experience, the collaboration I have developed along with the important relationships with State agencies, I am the best candidate. This position has many responsibilities and requires a great deal of energy and time.

There are over 200 legally established County drains to monitor and maintain within the county. I have worked hard to do this in the most cost-effective way to minimize the financial burden to landowners. I am the designated officer for soil erosion control for Newaygo County. My office is responsible for review of permit applications, issuing permits, inspecting and addressing violations of soil erosion. As drain commissioner I am responsible for seven lake level elevations that are designated by the 27th Circuit Court.  Additional responsibilities by state statute include being a member of the following: County Parks Board, Board of Public Works and six Lake Improvement boards. Another duty is to provide representation on the two sewer authorities in Newaygo County.  As the chairman of the board of Public Works I coordinate the recycling program, household hazardous waste collection and scrap tire recycling event. Grant funding is obtained to help support these programs to reduce the County's Financial commitment.

I volunteer and I'm part of various Community groups. I am a board member for the Fremont Area Community Foundation Economic Development committee, the Autism Board, the Human Trafficking Task force board, and am the NCRESA Board President.
​
I value our community and serve wherever I can have a positive impact. I firmly  believe I am the best qualified candidate and ask for your vote.
