EXPERIENCE
December, 1990 thru Present
General Manager- Greater Pine Island Water Assn. -
Bokeelia, FL
As Chief Administrative Officer reporting to the Board of
Directors, I oversee the recruitment, training,
compensation, and promotion of all employees and
supervise the day to day operations of all departments. I
prepare the annual operating and maintenance budget,
capital improvement budget, as well as presenting a
monthly budget report to the Board of Directors. I direct
the long range planning process, continually looking for
ways to improve production at the least possible cost.
Some of my achievements have been:
- Overseeing the construction
and start-up of our 1.5 MGD RO plant.
- Setting up an office computer
system, greatly increasing the efficiency of the
GPIWA office.
- Successfully challenging the
Development Standards Ordinance of Lee County.
The resultant change exempted all utilities from
paying a $2,700 fee when installing and/or moving
a water or sewer line. We now are only required
to pay a $250 plan review fee.
- Helping initiate the Lee
County Water Producers Association. This group
has been instrumental in getting a seat for the
private utilities at the table of the Lee County
Regional Water Supply Authority.
- Establishing and maintaining
good rapport with the various regulatory
agencies, County Commissioners, and other
Utilities in the area and State.
- Being named "Manager of
the Year" by the Florida Rural Water
Association (1993).
