I moved to Parker with my wife
Marcia and three children in 1985 to pursue an
improved way of life. We immediately became enthused with the
people and surroundings of the area and decided that we would
remain in Colorado and particularly in the Parker area.
Our children have grown and looked at other areas of the country
to live and ultimately decided to stay here for the same reasons we
did, and in one case returned to Colorado, making the decision to
raise their children here.
In 1987 I was asked by a board Director of the Parker Water and
Sanitation District to join the District. Having a great interest
in the welfare of the Parker area I applied and was appointed soon
thereafter. I have now proudly served as a Director for 18 years
with the District.
During this time we have seen many changes in this little town
of Parker. The most obvious is that it is no longer a little town
as it continues to draw both residents and businesses at a fast
pace. One the less obvious change is that during these times PWSD
grow at a pace to stay ahead of the growth. Always anticipating the
needs of a rapidly growing community, supplying the services needed
to do so. Today PWSD is not only supplying these required services
but continues to stay ahead of the game with water for the future.
We have acquired renewable water and are in the midst of building
the Rueter-Hess Reservoir to manage our water needs and supply a
great recreational facility for Parker's residents.
Although I can not take full credit for all the great things
that have happened within the District, I feel that my
contributions have been a huge part as to why Parker Water and
Sanitation District is financially strong and a leader in public
service in Colorado.
As progressive as the District has been, there is a massive
amount of work to be done.
We need to continue to pursue additional water rights,
strengthen water partnerships with our neighbors and grow with
financial stability without overburdening the residents.
My desire is to carry on with this endeavor well into the
future.
Please vote for the future of the Parker area on May 2.
