Your water utilities customer, Sara Taddo Jones 10927 Dorchester Dr Truckee, California Attachment 3 July 28, 2011 Barbara Cahill Deputy District Clerk Truckee Donner Public Utility District 11570 Donner Pass Road Truckee,California 96161 Dear Ms.Cahill and Board of Directors: I would like to be considered for the current vacancy on the Board of Directors. I have attached a resume for your review. As a preliminary matter, I am a resident and qualified elector in the District. I believe my education and qualifications would complement and add to the skills of the current board members. I am an attorney and could bring a different type of training and viewpoint than those already represented. Furthermore,before I moved to California, I was an employment defense attorney and am familiar with the typical employment law issues that occur with a large employer. I also note,in light of the recent concerns raised regarding some members of the Fire District board that I am familiar with the duties of member of boards of directors and take very seriously the oversight responsibilities that board members must exercise. I believe strongly in public service and accountability to the community in which we live. I would welcome the opportunity to serve on the PUD board. Although I am a fairly new full-time resident of the Town of Truckee compared to others who may be seeking the appointment, I believe that viewpoint is also valuable as many members of our District are transplants from other areas of California and the country. We are a diverse community,in terms of income, education,and ethnicity and I would bring to the Board my training as an attorney,my work at a local nonprofit,and my experience as a small business owner within the District. I welcome your consideration of my qualifications.
