County of San Bernardino REPLY TO: August 7, 2009 East Valley Water District ATTN: Board of Directors 3654 East High] and Ave. Highland, CA 92346 Re: Letter of Recommendation To Who It May Concern I am writing to recommend Larry Malmberg who has applied :For appointment to the vacancy on the .East Valley Water District Board of Directors. Larry and I worked together for a number of years. From 1982 through 1988, I was responsible for the administration of a statewide law enforcement legal services program for 35,000 member association which provided representation services in criminal, civil and administrative actions. Larry sat on the program's board of directors and as such was responsible for fiscal integrity of the fund, the recruitment and retention of membership and overseeing all administrative functions of the program. As part of their duties, the board was required to hear appeals concerning the denial or termination of coverage. These were often complex and sensitive matters requiring board members to analyze the evidence presented, debate the attorney's on the merits of the appeal and lastly, make a sound decision that most often was difficult and/or unpopular. At all times, Larry performed these functions in a professional manner, exercising good judgment and the ability to articulate the reasoning for his decisions. Larry has strong interpersonal skills. Furthermore, I don't know of anyone who is more dependable than Larry. For all of the foregoing reasons I recommend Larry highly for your Board of Directors and would be happy to discuss his qualifications in more detail. Sincerely, CL DON PRESSLEY August 10, 2009 East Valley Water District Attn: Board of Directors 3654 E. Highland Avenue Highland, California, 92346 Dear Board: Please accept this as a letter of support for considering Larry Malmberg as an. appointee to the East Valley Water District. I was born and raised in the San Bernardino area and have known Larry for over 25 years. I retired from the San Bernardino County Sheriff s Department after 34 years of service and worked along side of Larry from about 1974 through 1984 while on Patrol and as detectives in the Homicide Division. His work ethic is beyond reproach and every task is as important as the last. Larry was active in the Safety Employees Benefit Association and in fact was elected president and served at least two terms that I can recall. He was also elected as President of P.O.R.A.C. a state entity that sets standards for Police Officers in the State of California. Needless to say it takes a tremendous amount of tact and diplomacy to over see such organizations not to mention the ability to work with budgets, personal problems and achievements, etc. As a Board you are aware of how important Team Work is and Larry is very much a Team Player. I'm not going to turn this into a novel but I must mention. that Larry is a successful business man as he has maintained a successfid business for some years now. As a successful business man he knows how important community involvement is. I know that he stays active with Foot Printer activities and donates his time to worthy causes such as Cancer Research fimding activities. Suffice to say that Larry would be as ASSET to any effort he participates in and would certainly be an ASSET to the East Valley Water District. Sincerely; Hector O'Campo ° JOHN W. KENNEDY JR.

I always found him to trustworthy and dependable in his duties and demeanor, those where lean days with only two or sometime three deputies on a shift. I could depend on Larry to be there for me when the need was great and the danger even greater.. Larry went on to work the homicide unit at the Sheriff's Department and I took a different path into administration, sometime later Larry became President of the Deputy Sheriff's Association (SEBA). lie was then call upon to bi-, president of the state wide association known as Peace Officer Research Association of California (PORAC) this association represents over 45,000 peace officers in the state. He served in this capacity till the time of his retirement from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. He has been in the private sector since the time of his retirement, and has gained the business knowledge to be successful, while still serving the needs of the legal community. If Larry is appoint to your board he will bring a lifetime of social networking, in both the public and private sector. This coupled with his understanding of the complexity involved in delivering services to thousands of members, makes him a good candidate for your board. ames E.

DUBOIS August 31, 2009 Mr. Robert E. Martin, P.E. General Manager ].East Valley Water District 3654 E. Highland Ave, Suite 18 Highland, CA 92346 -2607 Re: Vacant seat on the East Valley Water District Board of Directors Dear Mr. Martin, R CE{ti'E!� SE? -. 2 2009 ",� V:.1iBy 1Va4er Disfttcf. In response to your notice of August 12, 2009, of a vacancy on the East Valley Water District Board of Directors, I ani hereby submitting my letter of interest for an appointment to the remaining term for this seat. As a long -time resident and successful businessman in the area, I believe I am uniquely qualified to sit on the EVWD Board to assist in planning and administering the District's services. In this important time for our region, the District is to be commended for the Plant 150 improvements that are in the design phase with expected completion by 2011 to treat well water from nearby wells, and Plant 134 improvements that are expected to be completed by 2010 to increase needed capacity from 4 million to 8 million gallons per day. Also, with the EVWD's dual purpose of supplying domestic water service as well as providing a modern sewer system to District's approximately 65,000 residents, I feel it is more important than ever that the EVWD Board remain in close communication with and involved in the day to day community concerns and needs. It is my belief that the EVWD is a sparkling jewel in this region that can be polished to an even more lustrous shine. My wife and I have been Highland homeowners for many years and, over the past 15 years, I have built a highly successful insurance business in the area. Previously, I had 20 years of successful management experience in the f6od industry, also in the immediate area. This past year, I served as president of the San Bernardino North Rotary Club and am highly involved in a wide variety of community service programs. I am also an active member of the St. Bemardine's Medical Center Planned Giving (;ommittee as well as a number of other community organizations. Mr. Robert E. Martin, P.E. August 31, 2009 page 2 On nine separate occasions during my 15 years of building my insurance business, I have been honored to have been named to Farmers Insurance's "Topper Club" which is comprised of the top 20 percent of Farmers agents nationwide. Similarly, during this same 15 year period, I have been included in Farmers' "Championship Convention" four times. The Championship Convention is limited to the top performing 5 percent of agents in both service to clients and the community and for production. As a local businessman and resident, I am vitally concerned about our area's future water and sewer needs as well as ri<ing potential demands from outside the area intruding, on our local water interests. 'dater is among our most precious natural resources, especially in a growing area such as ours. I believe I can provide the District with some further practical and common sense ideas as we look into the fixture of our wonderful valley.
