Statement appearing in Ballot for November 2012
Have lived and served in the Oro Loma Sanitary District for more than 34 years, including service as Mayor of San Leandro from 1998 through 2006, a period of economic growth and financial stability. Possess the knowledge, education and experience to address our wastewater collection and treatment needs and to provide innovative and cost-effective solid waste and recycling services. Previously served as a member and also Chair of the East Bay Dischargers Authority, a joint powers organization formed to collectively manage wastewater treatment and disposal services for a population in Alameda County of 800,000. I also served as President of both the Alameda County Waste Management Authority and the Source Reduction and Recycling Board. These agencies are responsible for the environmental choices and changes that make us so much more productive and mindful of waste reduction and recycling. I would be the first woman to serve on the Oro Loma Board and have the proven tools to assist the District in decisions regarding our future. It is time for a new perspective on the Board and one that offers innovative thinking focused on our future. I respectively ask for your support on November 6th.
