ROCKWOOD WATER PUD - Director, Subdistrict No. 2

DONALD JAMES McCARTHY

OCCUPATION: Retired, living on pension

OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Powell Valley Road Water Dist. 31 yrs.

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: David Douglas High School; Completed 12 yrs. of school; High School Diploma

PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Rockwood PUD budget board, 1997, 1998; 31 yrs. with Powell Valley Water Dist.; 2 yrs. as Board of Commissioner, 2004 to present

As a present Board of Commissioners, of Rockwood Water PUD, we have approved the following:

An intergovernmental agreement, granting the City of Gresham the right to purchase water produced by the District's ground water wells.

We approved a 20 year wholesale water contract with the City of Portland in April. Under the new contract, the District's water rate will drop from 83 cents to almost 52 cents yielding a significant savings.

One other concern of mine is, the question of taking on the electricity in our district, as a PUD, but I feel that this is not the time.

Please continue to support me with your vote.

Thank-you,

Donald James McCarthy
