Corliss named to state water panel
Lawrence City Manager David Corliss has been named by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to the Kansas Water Authority.
The panel reviews plans for the development, management and use of Kansas water resources.
“We cannot afford to take water for granted,” Sebelius said. “By carefully managing its allocation and maximizing its use, we can ensure its availability for future generations of Kansans.”
Corliss earned his bachelor’s, master’s and law degrees from Kansas University. He has worked for the city of Lawrence since 1990 and before that was an attorney with the League of Kansas Municipalities.
Corliss was chosen for the position reserved for “large municipal water users.”
He was nominated by the League of Kansas Municipalities and appointed by Sebelius to fill a term that expires Jan. 15, 2009.
He replaces Don Cawby, who resigned.
