10 <br /> Page 3 of 3 Raymond (Ray) <br /> the Board of Directors with terms as Vice Chair(2 years) and Chair(2 years). IDEA is a 1000+ <br /> member association with revenues exceeding $1 million per year. <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 /> Boards/Commissions appointments: <br /> Other Comments: <br /> This application was current on: 3/20/2014 4:43:23 PM Date Printed: 3/3/2017 <br />
