Subject: Florence Wedington for Central San Board
Dear Central San Board Members,
I am writing you as a resident of Central San Division 3, previously David William's district. All of us in
Rossmoor were saddened by the passing of David because of his commitment to our community and
understanding of our concerns for water security. He will be missed.
Central San played such an important role in the Rossmoor sponsored Town Hall on the Future of Water
in Central Contra Costa County last October. We are grateful to Central San and EBMUD for contributing
outstanding content for central county residents to gain a better understanding of the potential for
recycled water in the future. Despite the rain of the past few months we all know how important this
issue is for years and droughts to come.
During the planning process for the Town Hall we were able to get to know the outstanding expertise of
some staff members at both Central San and EBMUD.All of us gained confidence that both
organizations are focused on water security and we were very pleased at the level of cooperation
between the agencies.
When I heard that Florence Wedington was being considered for the opening on the Central San board
for our district I was thrilled. We were able to see Florence in action during our planning process for the
Town Hall. She exhibited the expertise expected from her position and worked closely with the team to
provide for a meaningful Town Hall for our communities. It was exciting to know that Florence lives in
our district and brings the knowledge of the Walnut Creek and Rossmoor communities as well as her
water security expertise to the table.
I endorse Florence Wedington for the Division 3 open seat on the Central San Board. I have no doubt
that your board and our community will be well served by her.

Subject: Central San Board appointment
To the Central Contra Costa Sanitary District board,As you consider which candidate to appoint to Dave William's seat, I
want to recommend Florence Wedington. Her years of experience with recycled water should be helpful as the Central
San board moves forward with its ambitious agenda in this area. I trust her to work to put together partnerships that
are a key to successful project implementation. She is also a long time resident of Walnut Creek and so is well suited to
represent our residents. I am making this recommendation not on behalf of the city council but as a long time Walnut
Creek resident who has worked in the water field for decades and is interested in promoting sustainable regional
solutions to our water challenges.
Thank you,
Cindy Darling
Walnut Creek resident
