The position of Commissioner requires a steadfast
defender of the needs, expectations and financial assets of the ratepayers and
citizens of our district. As a representative of all of those serviced, I will
be a responsible defender.
Since becoming a Sammamish resident, our region has
witnessed a tremendous explosion of growth. The lifting of the building
moratorium in 2004 will require the augmentation of our water supplies from
other regional sources. I oppose the City of Sammamish taking over the
responsibilities of the current District Board - increasing the possible
imposition of a utility tax and leaving ratepayers living outside the city
limits without a vote. As Commissioner, I will work to provide the ratepayers
the cleanest and safest water along with the highest level of customer service.

My family and I have made a home on the
Plateau for 15 years, and I have watched this beautiful community change and
grow. I will bring to this position not only the desire to serve my community,
but also the knowledge and experience to identify and implement solutions to
the challenges it faces. I am willing to LISTEN to my constituents and COMMIT
to ensuring fair, equitable, and economical policies for all the District water
and sewer customers -- single family, multi-family, and commercial -- inside
and outside the Sammamish and Issaquah city limits.
I possess strong negotiation skills;
business, financial, and administrative knowledge, a love of community, and 15
years of water related engineering in the public and private sectors: water
quality and quantity planning, alternate energy resource studies, design and
construction, contracts administration, fishery and endangered species
projects.
