§ 1517.17.
The chief of the division of natural areas and preserves, with the approval of the
director of natural resources, shall appoint an advisory council for each wild, scenic,
or recreational river. Each advisory council shall be composed of not more than ten persons who are representative
of local government and local organizations and interests in the wild, scenic, or
recreational river watershed. Each person shall serve without compensation. The chief or the chief's representative shall serve as an ex officio member of each
council. The initial members appointed to each council shall serve for terms of not more than
three years, with the terms of not more than four members of any council ending in
the same year. Thereafter, terms of office shall be for three years commencing on the first day
of February and ending on the last day of January. Each council shall advise the chief on the acquisition of land and easements and on
the lands and waters that should be protected in a wild, scenic, or recreational river
watershed or a proposed wild, scenic, or recreational river watershed, facilities
therein, and other aspects of establishment and administration of the wild, scenic,
or recreational river that may affect the local interest. An advisory council for a wild, scenic, or recreational river that was created by
the director under Chapter 1547. of the Revised Code prior to the effective date of
this amendment continues to be the advisory council for the applicable wild, scenic,
or recreational river for purposes of sections 1517.14 to 1517.19 of the Revised Code on and after that date.
