Causey Question S-State your reason for interest in this position and explain why you would be the best candidate for this seat in 500 words or less. I am interested in utilizing my extensive fifty-two years of professional and community experience to provide the customers of District 3 with a broad understanding and support for best-in-class wastewater programs that are cost effective and well understood and accepted by all District rate payers. My professional and community invovlement allows me the opportunity to have experienced a broad range of issues and responses that allows me to be immediately prepared to properly represent District three on the District Board. My experiences as an employee with several municipalities and special wastewater districts for 35 years from junior civil engineer to General manager/District Engineer,as well as my work with more than 150 public wastewater agencies across California on regulatory compliance since 2004 operating Causey Consulting,allows me to provide a broad understanding and grasp of Central Sans programs and operations. Finally,my previous eight years on the Board will allow me to be able to be immediately effective in my representation of District 3 and my extensive community involvement in Walnut Creek for 30 years allows me to be able to understand the community and the important contacts in the community that will assist in communicating the District's excellent performance record with customers and District 3 civic and elected leaders. Question 9-Any additional information you would like to provide for consideration. I am and was a huge supporter of the Districts Wastewater Academy and public outreach efforts including the previous use of Board member representation to designated areas of the District.I very much enjoyed my time representing the southern area of the District with local civic groups and elected officials—this is an important Board role in the community and one which I will relish if I am allowed to represent District 3. I also believe that my extensive experience over four years with the State Water Resources Control Board chairing the CASA Collection Work Group negotiating the reissued waste discharge requirements for sanitary sewer system,speaks to my leadership success coordinating the work and multiple negotiating positions expressed during these important negotiations for new regulations.My long-standing active involvement in several state and national wastewater related professional associations allows me to understand the latest issues impacting the industry and to be well prepared to properly evaluate and represent Central Sans perspective on these issues, Finally,since leaving the Board,I have regularly reviewed the Board agendas and virtually attended many Board meetings to remain up to date on current issues facing the District. It would be my distinct pleasure to once again be able to have a seat on the Governing Board of the Central.Contra Costa Sanitary District.
