Sharon Baer, Cucamonga Valley Water District board candidate
As a member of the CVWD Board I will be your advocate on budget and water issues that affect you, your family and your business. Let us safeguard and conserve our water through planned, sensible growth, thoughtful use, proper methodology, innovation and appropriate spending.
With concern about economic stability we cannot afford to be frivolous. As ratepayers, we don't have much control over how money is spent by utility companies. That is not the case with your water bill. Direct local control of expenditures can be closely monitored by the elected officials on the Water Board. Is a $750,000.00 remodel of the existing lobby of the Water Company building in the interest of the ratepayers? Could the existing lobby be made safe and attractive for less? I suggest to you that it can. My membership on the Board will bring the business perspective needed to meet the challenges of operating your water district with fiscal restraint.
My career as a successful business owner has given me the necessary expertise and sound judgment to address the short and long term needs of our Water District and its non-profit (501c3) Frontier Project. I have been an active community volunteer, participating in and leading organizations in Rancho Cucamonga for 32 years, including over 20 years as the owner-operator of a successful local business, Past-President of the National Association of Woman Business Owners-IE, member of Executive Boards and non-profits such as OPARC, The Visiting Nurses Association of Southern California, the County Youth Accountability Board and current Planning Department "Visioneers." I understand budgets, receivables, payables, human resources, capital expenditures, government regulations and fiscal and fiduciary responsibility because I have lived them. I have met payroll, struggled over benefit costs, studied bids and written proposals. These are skills that are needed more than ever today.
Since the formation of your Water Board in 1955 the skills of the Boards of Directors have typically been balanced, representing a variety of business as well as community interests. My background includes a career in the day to day operation of my own business, making daily decisions that have nurtured a vision that spans decades. I am a candidate whose career shows the long term effects of controlling the bottom line. My skills will add a necessary balance of experience to your Board.
I respectfully ask for your vote. Thank you.
