South Florida Water Management District Governing Board
3301 Gun Club Road
West Palm Beach, Florida 33406

Dear Governing Board Members:

Today I issued an Executive Order outlining our bold vision for environmental
protection and water quality. Everglades restoration is the centerpiece of our strategy to
improve our water, and the actions of the South Florida Water Management District
are incredibly important in aiding the success of that strategy.

I thank you for your service to the State of Florida, but it is time for a clean reset
of the leadership of the Board to focus the appropriate attention on this bold vision.
Therefore, I ask that each of you tender your resignation from the Board, effective
immediately.

The voters spoke clearly in support of our bold vision for action on the
environment. I look forward to reconstituting the Board of the with a
dedicated focus toward implementing the objectives we have laid out today. The people
of Florida deserve nothing less.

Sincerely,

?ew

Ron DeSantis
Governor
