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.
