He serves on numerous NID committees, including the Administrative Practices Committee and the Water and Hydroelectric Operations Committee. He is serving as President of the Board in 2012. He brings wide experience in the water industry to his elected position. He worked for many years for a local engineering firm (Cranmer Engineering) as an environmental chemist. He is now retired from the State Water Resources Control Board where he was a supervising Environmental Scientist in the Division of Water Rights, working on Bay/Delta water quality issues. Attachment 1 March 12, 2012 Er_u MAR 13 2012 NEVADA COUNTY LAFCo I became a member of the LAFCO Board in 2006 representing Special Districts. It is now 2012 and I have been active with the LAFCO of Nevada County for six years but my term is up and I would like your vote of approval for one more term of four years. The Penn Valley Fire Protection District has nominated me to run for this next term. While serving on the LAFCO board this past six years the LAFCO budget was trimmed, helping every government body represented, but most importantly was especially responsive to the delicate budget balances of all our Special Districts. This was managed all the while doing the assigned jobs as prescribed by the State of California. I would appreciate your consideration and a vote for me in the up coming election. I am currently Chairman of the Board for the PVFPD, active member and former Chair for the Nevada County Fire JPA. I feel that Special Districts play a keen role for the service of Nevada County and need strong representation on the LAFCO Board. If you have any questions please contact me at 530 300 4357 or Penn Valley Fire Protection District at 530 432 2630. Than 4yo K rt Grunde
