SCHMIDT. [have been serving as the Independent Special District alternate representative on the Contra Costa LAFCO for the past 11 years. I am asking for your District's vote to reelect me as the Contra Costa Special Districts Association alternate member on LAFCO. The West County Wastewater District (WCWD) Board unanimously nominated me as their candidate for this LAFCO position. Since being elected a WCWD Board member in November 1992 I have regularly attended California Association of Sanitation Agency (CASA) Conferences, Contra Costa Special District Association (CCSDA) quarterly meetings, Sanitation acid Water Agency (SAWA) quarterly meetings and the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) Annual meeting in order to keep up with Special District concerns. As you know Independent Special Districts are often a target for take over or consolidation to become dependent as a means to gain access to their reserve funds. Maintaining experienced Special District representatives on the Contra Costa LAFCO is essential to deal with this ongoing problem. Asa 41 year resident of Richmond and Contra Costa County I have spent countless hours, working on Committees for the betterment of my community. I have had a lifelong interest in City and area planning. T am interested in and believe in reasonable growth and development. I am most familiar with West County issues. However, having served as one of your representatives on the Contra Costa LAFCO for the past 11 years I have learned much about the issues facing Central and East County. As your alternate representative on the Contra Costa LAFCO I will continue to spend the time necessary to learn the issues, including discussions with those affected by the Contra Costa LAFCO decisions, I will strive to be objective in reaching decisions on annexations and other matters that come before LAFCO. I believe my background and work experience makes me an ideal candidate to.continue in the position as an Independent Special District alternate member on the Contra Costa LAFCO. As an elected board member of an Enterprise District, I have no ties with City or County officials that will unduly influence my vote. Please be sure to have your voting representative attend the meeting of the Independent Special Districts Selection Committee at 7:00 p.~n. on April 19, 2010 and cast your VOTE FOR ME to continue as your alternate member on the Contra Costa LAFCO.
