Response to Question VI (B):
Please include a brief written statement outlining your views on the roles and responsibilities of this Board or Commission, its key issues, and your goals if appointed (attach additional sheet if necessary).
My views on the roles and responsibilities of the Glendale Water and Power Commission are that it advises and makes recommendations to the City Council regarding improvements to the City's electric and water systems through capital and rehabilitation projects. This includes how these improvements should be financed. Additionally, the Commission makes recommendations in operational policies.
Finally, the commission considers water conservation appeals when shortage stages have been instituted by the Council.
The key issues for the City can be divided into water and power issues. Regarding water, key issues are:
1. Rehabilitating and upgrading infrastructure to meet demands and treat for contaminants to deliver high quality water to customers,
2. Developing the financing mechanisms so that the completion of these improvement projects will have the lowest impact on customers, and
3. Protecting current resources and developing new resources for sustainability and reliability.
The keys issues for power are:
1. Completing Grayson Repowering project,
2. Rehabilitating and upgrading power distribution lines and substations,
3. Further developing clean energy, and
4. Mitigating wildfire through modifications to the power infrastructure.
My goals if appointed are to:
1. Providing my expertise and experience as a water industry professional to guide the key issues • listed above,
2.! Oversee the strategic plan of the water and power system to meet short- and long-term goals,
3. Ensure that a financing mechanism is put in place which insulates customers from rate shock in making improvements, and
