October 20, 2007--Preston joins Dolores Water Conservancy District (Radio Weblogs)
Montezuma County resident Mike Preston took over the lead administrator position Monday, and he is happy to be there. "This is a really great organization. The people have excellent talent," Preston said Tuesday, his second day on the job. For the past 28 years, Preston has worked for Fort Lewis College as an advisor. Most recently, he worked with Montezuma County as an advisor on public lands issues. Preston has also served as the facilitator of the Dolores River Dialogue. Preston, 61, said being the manager of the DWCD is like coming full circle in his career because toward the beginning, in the early '80s, he worked on water issues and getting the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe a water rights settlement. In addition, Preston was the project development director for the 7,634-acre Ute Mountain Farm and Ranch Enterprise.
