WHY AM I RNING FOR THE OFFICE

By Dan McMillan

Candidate for Board Member; Padre Dam Municipal Water District; Division 5

This information is provided by the candidate
TO BRING BACK LONG TEM FINANCIAL STABILITY, CUT COSTS AND THEN CUT THE UPWARD RATE SPRIAL.
As a prior Director and President of Padre Dam, I understand the need for sufficient funds to properly maintain and operate the infrastructure and provide for safe and reliable water in conjunction with a modern and efficdnt sewer collection facility. I understand the need for a rate structure that properly covers ALL operating and construction costs. These objectives can and should be obtained in a reasonable matter, but this is not possible with a Board dominated by former water district employees. Such a Board has approved a pay structure that has salaries greater than the Director of Water Resources (DWR), State of California receives. The DWR is responsible for all water resources in California.. This is what is referred to as 'THE FOX IN HE HEN HOUSE' problem.

My vision for Padre Dam is the one you share and expect from Padre Dam MWD; "to deliver water and sewer service to the public effectively and efficiently.

The Board must have the financial knowledge to restrain costs, since this is the ONLY method to hold down rates.
