As a director one needs to have the educational and management background and experience to set policy and make sure the agency is run correctly and is going in the right direction. A director must be able to get along with other people, build bridges, alliances, and trust.There are many important issues concerning water in the upcoming months and years which will drastically affect water reliability, purity, availability, storage, transportation, funding, regulations, and use. I have over 29 years experience in water and business and am still the youngest director on the board. . I also represents you on a joint powers authority which is in charge of funding over $160 million of State Bond Funds to water agencies. Under my leadership taxes have been recently reduced. Yet the agency has a $200 million dollar reserve and has built over $350million of pipelines reservoirs, lifts stations, wells, computer control systems; and is in the process of building another $150 million. The district provides supplemental water to over 750,000 people with only 21 employees at only 8% of a well balanced budget for wages, salaries, and benefits. Other agencies our size have hundreds of employees. We add on consultants when constructing or working on special projects; and then when they complete their job their time with us is finished. Our employees on the other hand have an average of 21 years of experience working at our district. Our agency, staff and board members are always looking for the latest, newest, and most cost effective means to provide supplemental water to its cities and water agencies. We share this knowledge and assist our local agencies when every possible to make the running of water agencies in the Valley the safest, reliable, and at the lowest cost possible. We have the lowest urban wholesale water rates in the State of California and are constantly adding water to the basins we overlie. Without water we cannot have jobs, schools, a healthy Eco system, and well planned growth. |
