13 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Raymond (Ray) <br />What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to <br />accomplish if appointed? <br />OWASA s Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the organization with authority <br />over rates, budget, property acquisition, policy, etc. The Executive Director of OWASA reports <br />to the Board. <br />I hope to help sustain and contribute to the continued efforts toward quality and efficiency of the <br />critical services OWASA provides. Future planning, budgeting for the short and long term, and <br />business with integrity are all things to which I can support. <br />What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues? <br />OWASA must provide services regardless of growth of the community. OWASA must employ <br />long range planning to accommodate the needs of the community however it wants to grow. It <br />simply would not be satisfactory to react to growth after the fact nor to increase system <br />capacities long before they are needed, but rather to have the right capacities in the systems at <br />the right time. OWASA must be participate in conversations about growth to be prepared to <br />provide water and sewer services. OWASA must advise community leaders the impacts of their <br />decisions about growth in the community on OWASA s systems, operation, and cost. <br />Other Comments: <br />This application was current on: 3/20/2014 4:43:23 PM Date Printed: 4/24/2014 <br />
