November 2004 General Election - Rockwood Water P.U.D. Director, Subdistrict #2

DONALD JAMES MCCARTHY

OCCUPATION: Retired; part-time District Inspector for Powell Valley Road Water District

OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: 31 years at Powell Valley Road Water District

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: High School Diploma

PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Rockwood PUD Board of Directors/November, 2004-present; Rockwood PUD Budget Board-2 year term

I served at Rockwood PUD on the Budget Board for two years; last year I was appointed to finish a term as a Board of Director.

I have worked in the drinking water industry for 31 years and will bring to the Directors and patrons of Rockwood PUD this experience.

I feel the issues that need to be addressed in the next two years should be:

1. Alternative water sources
2. Reducing high wholesale water cost with the City of Portland
3. Increase public awareness about issues and operations of Rockwood PUD
4. Maintain a highly educated and motivated staff
5. Keeping in mind costs but not sacrificing quality.

In closing I have lived in the Rockwood PUD for 17 years and will be proud to serve as your representative on the Board of Directors.

Please vote for me, Donald McCarthy
