The Walworth County Land Conservation Committee voted July 20 to approve forwarding a county representative appointment to the Potters Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District and sent the nomination to the County Board for final action on Monday, Aug. 10.
Christopher Pozile, the nominee, told the committee he lives in the district and owns property near Potters Lake. He described the role as primarily a liaison post — relaying county and state program information to the district and representing the county on matters such as regulations and waste management. "It seems to me that the primary task is to serve as liaison between the county and the [Potters Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District]," he said when asked to summarize the position's responsibilities.
Pozile outlined relevant governance experience he said would help him represent the county: "For the last 10 years, I've served as a secretary‑treasurer for my pilot union ... I was responsible for making sure that the vote or the will of a bigger body was represented, not just my own," he told the committee, describing his familiarity with Robert's Rules and with managing committees and budgets.
Committee members urged the nominee to stay connected to county land‑conservation activity and to pass along county and DNR program information when reporting to the district so the district does not duplicate county efforts. After brief discussion, a committee member moved to approve forwarding the appointment; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. "Congrats, Chris," one committee member said after the vote.
Under committee procedure, the committee's approval forwards the nomination to the full Walworth County Board. Staff said formal appointment information will be sent to the Potters Lake District and that Pozile should attend any interim district meetings only in an unofficial capacity pending County Board action on Aug. 10.
Next steps: the nomination is scheduled for consideration at the County Board meeting on Monday, Aug. 10, 2026.
