Tanzler recommended for District executive director

The St. Johns River Water Management District’s Executive Director Search Committee on Oct. 3 recommended that Hans G. Tanzler III be hired as the District’s next executive director. The District Governing Board will consider the recommendation at its Oct. 11 public meeting at the District’s headquarters in Palatka.

Tanzler has been the District’s general counsel since July, and previously served on the District’s Governing Board.

The committee – made up of Board members Lad Daniels, John Miklos and Maryam Ghyabi – was created in August and held four public meetings prior to interviewing its top three candidates in a public meeting Oct. 3 in Maitland.

Kirby B. Green III was the District’s executive director for 10 years before retiring Oct. 3.
