Position Papers
1. A more reasonable wastewater plan.
Begin by moving the sewer plant to the outside of town and collect & treat effluent from our septic tanks, rather than raw sewage. Treat the water in a more efficient terciary treatment wastewater plant, to release into wetlands for storage & re-use. Septic maintenance can help create a safe way of processing our solids down to one pumping every 5-15 yrs (if we're efficient) & processing it at the sewer plant to a lower level density than sludge.
2. Fiscal responsibility.
Spend smart, spend less. Invest wisely in clean water, fire, aquifer & bay protection. Spend the rest on the community. Help support the cultural, recreation, and learning needs of all the age groups here.
3. A better balanced board.
Speaks for itself. Wouldn't it nice to have some other members of the community share in the process of deciding our destiny? 'You can't depend on your judgement when your imagination is out of focus', MarkTwain.

The board needs some diversity and new imagination.
