Candidate Statements - Region 5
Each candidate was afforded the opporttmity to include a Candidate Statement of no more than 300 words
for the voters within their Region.
Judith E. Corer
Oxnard Harbor District
I am a candidate for Seat B, Region 5 of the California Special Districts Association Board of
Directors. I hope that you will consider voting for me for this important position.
As the Deputy Executive Director of Oxnard Harbor District, I have a good understandiug of the
challenges facing Special Districts. While each Special District is unique, they all share many of
the same concerns. How do we communicate our mission to our customers? How can we
determine what services should be continued, expanded, or eliminated? How can we scoure the
funding needed to continue providing services? Does the public perceive the value of the Special
District form of govenwaent? Each District must adequately and completely address these issues.
Only by doing so can we build strong local support for Special Districts.
I have been employed by the Oxnard Harbor District for 13 years. I was hired as the Senior
Accountant, assumed the Controller position in 1992 and was promoted to Deputy Executive
Director in 1994. I am a Certified Public Accountant with a Masters of Business Administration
Degree from California Lutheran University. I currently serve as the Chair of the Tariff and
Practices Committee of the Califomia Association of Port Authorities, (CAPA) and as a member
of both the CAPA Traffic Committee of Operating Ports and the CAPA Insurance/Risk
Management Committee.
As the most responsive fon-a of government available to the public, Special Districts must be
clear about their purpose. We have a duty to the coimnunities we serve to be the most effective
provider of needed services!
Please remember to vote. Your participation is critical to the success of the California Special
Districts Association.
Sincerely,
Judith E. Corer

Finally, I have produced, co-directed and lectured on a 90 minute videotape on howto
conduct a public meeting which has been distributed throughout California and in many
other states and I have served as a faculty member of the Board Management Institute.
As a result of the deliberations of the Commission on Local Governance for the 21=
Century, and the Little Hoover Commission among others as well as the changes
promulgated by the Cortese-Knox Hertzberg bill Special Districts are again in the spotlight;
consequently, strong advocacy is needed. I hope you will agree that my background,
experience, knowledge of Special Districts and contacts with hundreds of Special District
and other government officials statewlde uniquely qualify me to be a strong, energetic and
articulate representative as a Region 5 Director of CSDA.
Your support will be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to provide further information by
mail at P. O. Box 253, Go eta, Ca 93116, by Ema at fx¥ion~..ao corn or by phone at 805-
895-4993.

P.S, I have been endorsed by the Santa Barbara County Chapter of CSDA for this office.

Dear Bob:
Welcome to the latest quarterly update on the Water Resources Institute at Cal
State, San Bemardino. This update includes a brief summary of our May 16 Advisory
Board (Board) Meeting and a copy of the bylaws that were adopted at that meeting. Also
according to the bylaws, those of you with a last name beginning with A through K will
have your Board term expire at the end of August. Part of the reason for this update is to
inquire as to which of you wish to be reappointed for another two-year term on the
Board. There is no limit to the number of terms a Board member may serve.
I am hoping that this is the last quarterly update that comes via letter. Plans are in
the works to begin a quarterly newsletter that will tentatively start publication this fall. I
believe I have secured funding to publish this at least for the next year.
R,,eview of Past Quarter
The April-June quarter was a busy one for us, and included some successes and
some disappointments. Overall, the successes far outweigh the disappointments.
Archive. Our archive continues to grow, with completion of a transfer of
historical well data from the San Bemardino County Flood Control District to the WRI.
Also, we purchased some historical documents related to the construction of the Colorado
River Aqueduct from a rare book collector. We are still working furiously to improve
access to the collections from our web site. This has proved more difficult than we had
thought, as we have to digitize all the data first.
We are working hard on assimilating all of the County well data. This is
important data that our stakeholders and others will want access to. Our goal is to have it
available on our web site before our October conference.
Web site. We are working hard this summer to upgrade our web site. Sometime
in August you will log on to find a different look. We are trying to upgrade the look,
increase the content, and make the archive material more accessible. This is a lot of work
but we are making progress. By the time classes start in September, we should have a lot
more archival information available on the site.

Speakers. In our campus speaker series, we hosted Catherine Mulholland in May.
Ms. Mulholland, granddaughter of William Mulholland, also signed copies of her book
"William Mulholland and the Rise of Los Angeles." She is a charming lady and very
knowledgeable about the early history of LOs Angeles and the San Femando Valley. We
sold approximately 40 of her books that evening. Her talk conflicted with the spring
ACWA conference at Lake Tahoe, which kept attendance down; however we still had
over 50 attendees.
In the off-campus breakfast series that we sponsor with the San Bemardino Valley
Water Conservation District, we hosted Jim Barrel, the manager of the Carlsbad office of
the US Fish and Wildlife Service. This breakfast was attended by approximately 65
people, including some newcomers to WRI events. A spirited question and answer
session followed Mr. Barrel's talk, which related to the endangered species act and water
resources projects.
Water Education. In June, the WRI co-hosted, along with the Network for
Environmental Science Teaching (NEST) and the San Bemardino Valley Municipal
Water District, a conference for water educators around the state. This is a group of
water educators, most of whom work for water and resource agencies, that meet twice a
year to share information on their programs and network with each other. During the
two-day conference, we held a reception in the WRI offices featuring the Paul Cash
Environmental Magic Show. I was able to share some ideas on what the WRI is doing,
and we learned a lot about what others are doing around the state. We will continue to
participate in these conferences.
Arsenic Research Proiect. Our proposal to the AWWARF (in conjunction with
McGuire Environmental) for a larger $250,000 arsenic study was unsuccessful. However
we are still talking to the County about doing a smaller study on point-of-use treatment of
arsenic at Pioneer Town. While Supervisor Hansberger wants us to proceed, the state
Department of Health Services is against this project, preferring to bring additional water
in from another source via a new pipe. The County needs to decide how it wants to
proceed; we will be there to help if and when it decides to move forward on the point of
use study.
Annual Conference. Planning continues on our annual conference on "Sharing
the Waters." You probably received your "save the date" card already. The main
conference registration brochure will be sent to a mailing list of approximately 4000
people in late August. We are still finalizing the speakers list and session topics. We had
to change one of the sessions when it became unclear as to whether there will be a water
bond issue next year.
The four sessions now will be:
· Overview of Local Water Sharing Examples featuring speakers on the
Mojave Basin, SAWPA, and the Orange County Groundwater Replenishment
~ Project
· Local Water and Power Issues including speakers from Edison, FERC, and
at least one local water agency that produces power
· Ecology of the Santa Ana Watershed featuring academic speakers speaking
on watersheds in general and the Santa Aha watershed in particular
· Case Study of Water Sharing featuring SAWPA and perhaps one other case
study
Dianne Feinstein is still confirmed to keynote the conference at dinner on
Thursday, October 18. Congressman Joe Baca is also confirmed to speak on Thursday
evening. Plans for the luncheon honoring Ruben Ayala on Friday the 19th are also
moving along.
As of this writing, we have four sponsors of the conference, including two major
sponsors ($5000 each)-- the Matieh Corporation and Earth Tech, and two Bronze
sponsors ($500 each)~Three Valleys MWD and the Orange County Sanitation District.
We are continuing to solicit sponsorships from public and private organizations.
Marketing. We continue to market our presence and our services. Mike Tracey
and I sponsored a booth at the spring ACWA conference at Lake Tahoe. I spoke to
several different groups during the quarter--Inland Action, an elementary school class, a
homeowners association, counselors from local high schools and junior colleges, and the
IEUA Board of Directors. The WRI also sponsored a foursome at the College of
Business and Public Administration Golf Tournament.
As I go out into the community to speak to groups, I am finding that there is an
increasing awareness of water issues and that there is a strong desire on the part of the
public to understand complex water issues better. This creates a huge audience for many
of our programs--an audience that we should be able to tap into easily once our name is
better known.
Santa Aha Watershed Bibliography. Due to circumstances beyond our control,
the contract with Cai State Fullerton was delayed and not signed until July. However the
work on this is beginning in earnest, and will result in an online bibliography of the
watershed, posted on our web site, approximately a year from now. This is one of a
series of projects that the WRI is undertaking in order to stake our claim to be experts on
the Santa Ana and keepers of watershed-related data.
Oral Histories. We have completed the first round of interviews with Bill and
Nita Claypool, who live in Needles and who have long been active in Colorado River
matters. We will finally start making some progress on oral histories, as Dr. Kent
Schofield, our history professor, has semi-retired and now will have much more time to
spend on our water resources heritage. I will be contacting both the Corps of Engineers
and Metropolitan in the near future to propose conducting oral histories on Seven Oaks
Dam and Diamond Valley Lake. In addition, we will conduct an oral history interview
with Ruben Ayala as part of our honoring him.
Other Events. I participated in a half-day briefing on water issues for
Congressman Joe Baca, along with representatives of several local water agencies. The
congressman has always been a friend to the WRI, and his staff insisted that the WRI
participate in this briefing.
Many of you attended our Open House immediately following the May Board
meeting. The Open House was a big success, bringing many old friends and some new
ones as well to our new offices. Such events are critical to our success, as they provide
an opportunity for me to interact with you and other prospective Board members, for you
to interact with each other, and for you and the Faculty Council to get acquainted.
An event that was not successful was our planned co-sponsorship of the BJ Miller
seminar "Management of Water in Caiifomia." CSUSB's College of Extended Learning
agreed to sponsor this event at the Ontario Hilton. It is a one-day seminar on California
water that Miller gives each year through UC Berkeley Extension. I had anticipated that
there would be a relatively large demand for this seminar in southern California, but the
demand was not there, and the seminar had to be cancelled. Many of those who pre-
registered were very disappointed that it had to be cancelled. The fact is that not enough
people registered to justify giving the seminar. Depending on input that I get from
various sources, we may try this again in the future.
Upcoming Events
Of course, the largest WRI event of the year is our annual conference, this year
scheduled for October 18-19 at the Student Union Events Center on campus. See above
for more details on the event.
As members of the WRI Advisory Board, you are entitled again this year to
complimentary registration for the conference sessions. This registration does not
include the keynote dinner or the Ayaia lunch; fees for those events must be paid
separately to the College of Extended Learning. When you register, please let me or
Charla know, so that you will not be charged the full conference registration fee. We will
contact the College of Extended Learning to ensure your complimentary admission to the
conference sessions. Those of you who are conference sponsors, conference speakers, or
employees of Founding Partners, will be entitled ,to your respective conference
registration benefits.
At this time, there are no other specific plans for WRI events in the fall. We will
sponsor an on-campus speaker as well as an off-campus breakfast; we have not yet set
dates or selected speakers for either of these. If you have any ideas for either an on-
campus speaker or a breakfast speaker, please let me know. We are always looking for
interesting speakers that will attract a diverse audience.
We have tentative plans to sponsor a social event that will include the Advisory
Board and the Faculty Council sometime in September, about when classes begin, but
have not finalized any details for that event either.
Development/Outreach Efforts
Mike Tracey and I are spending a great deal of our time looking for new prospects
and new partnerships. Toward that end, a Development Committee was appointed at the
last Board meeting. The Development Committee, who will help us to open some doors
that would otherwise be closed to us, will meet only once or twice as a group, but we will
work with them individually to help find more potential donor prospects and/or partners.
Mike and I have a list of contacts that we are gradually calling and meeting with;
the list is too long to include it here. Some names on the list are potential donors; others
represent potential partnerships; still others are individuals who can help improve our
visibility in the community. Among the groups that we are reaching out to are
environmental organizations, native American tribes, consultants to the water industry,
educators, and Orange County water agencies.
May Advisory Board Meeting
The May 16 Advisory Board meeting was well attended, with 14 members
present. In addition to the election of an Executive Committee, the appointment of
members to the Development and Strategic Plan committees, and adoption of the new
bylaws, the agenda focused on approval of the overall direction of the annual conference.
The Board validated the Conference Committee's work to date. Under "New Business",
several items were brought up, with the underlying theme of aggressively pursuing
networking opportunities, fundraising, social events, and other growth opportunities.
Members of the Strategic Plan Committee are Susan Lien, John Bmdin, John
Hayball, and Bob Krieger. This committee, in conjunction with the Faculty Council and
University Administration, will help me develop a Strategic Plan over the next year that
will enable the WRI to grow while maintaining its core focus and programs. We will be
hiring a strategic planning consultant in the fall to help with this effort.
Members of the Development Committee are Joe Grindstaff, Cheryl Tubbs,
Martin Matich, and Mark Kinsey. Art Littleworth was appointed to the Committee by the
Chair in absentia.
Financial Issues
Six local water agencies have made five year pledges to the WRI totaling over
$90,000 per year, One of our goals this year is to increase the amount of these multi-year
pledges to $200,000 per year. Public and private organizations that make such pledges
through the end of this year are entitled to Founding Partner status, which brings many
benefits to the donors.
Thanks to Congressman Jerry Lewis and other friends in Congress, we have
received for fiscal year 2001-2002 an earmark from the US EPA of $437,800. This is on
top of an earmark from last year of $509,400. In addition to the contributions from local
water agencies and the EPA, the WRI has state funding this year totaling approximately
$114,000. Senator Nell Soto included a member request in this year' s state budget for a
$250,000 earmark for the WRI, but it was not included in the budget signed by the
Governor.
The funds we do have on hand will be sufficient to carry out our planned
programs for the year. The next quarterly report, which hopefully will be in the form of a
newsletter, will detail some of our plans for the year.
Advisory Board Terms
According to the bylaws approved at the May 16 meeting, each member of the
Board now serves a two-year term, with terms ending August 31 of alternate years. The
end of this month will mark the end of Board terms for those of you with last names
ending in A-K. Each Board member can be re-appointed for an unlimited number of
terms.
I would appreciate hearing from each of you with last names beginning in A-K as
to whether you would like to be m-appointed or not. If not, is them someone else from
your organization that you would like to have appointed in your place? You may call or
email either Charla or me with your response (909/880-7681; idavis @csusb.edu or
charla@csusb.edu). If I do not hear from you, I will call you later this month to ask your
preference.
Fall Meeting
The fall meeting of the Advisory Board will be Tuesday, November 6 at 4:00 pm
in the WRI conference room. As always, the Executive Committee will meet
immediately before the Board meeting, at 3:00 pm. Refreshments will be served at both
meetings. I will send out an agenda for the Board meeting approximately a week ahead
of time.
As always, if you have any questions or comments about the WRI or how it is
managed or financed, or if you have ideas for new programs, please do not hesitate to
contact me at any time. I value your opinions and ideas and look forward to hearing
input from you at any time.
