As
a business owner for 30 years, and a resident of the same home for 34 years, I
feel I have much to be thankful for. Consequently, I feel my service as a
Commissioner in the Val-Vue Sewer District, is one way of “giving back” to the
community that has supported me and my family these 30 years.
I’ve served 19 years on the Board of Commissioners of the Val-Vue Sewer
District. I’m also a Past President of the Washington Association of Sewer and
Water Districts and served 6 years on the Board of Directors of that
association. I was named Commissioner of the Year for 1999 by my peers. I’m
honest, experienced, and truly take pride in serving as a Commissioner.
The Val-Vue Sewer District, is one of the most effective and responsive
forms of government there is.
To serve as Commissioner, would be an honor.

I have served as your Commissioner for 12 years, including two years as
Board President. During my tenure as Commissioner, I helped develop and
supported a merger with Rainier Vista Sewer District. I helped create a system
for automatic payment of bills. I assisted the elderly by developing a District
low income program with the Salvation Army. I was the only Board member who
voted against the last rate increase which I did not believe was necessary.
I am a 35-year resident of our area and work for Burlington Northern
Railroad. I am a Journeyman Electrician and financial secretary for the IBEW.
As a ratepayer and Commissioner, I will work for stable rates, sound
management policies and ethical behavior. I will continue to see that you
receive fair treatment and easy access to the Board of Commissioners.
I would like to thank you for your vote.
