Orange Water & Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I received a Bachelor of Science in mechanical engineering from The University of Tennessee at
Knoxville.
I recently retired from UNC Chapel Hill as Director for Energy Services after over 37 years of
total service. My responsibilities included management of energy and other utilities to the
University campus buildings including water, wastewater, and reclaimed water. I have worked
closely with OWASA from its creation until my retirement. I provided leadership during the
negotiations with OWASA for the reclaimed water system and during the design and
construction of the system. This system has allowed the University with other conservation
measures we implemented to significantly conserve water supply resources which are valuable
to the entire community.

Page 2 of 3 Raymond (Ray)
I was involved with University sustainability programs. I was a charter member of the
Universitya €TMs Sustainability Coalition and served on the Sustainability Advisory Committee, a
pan- University committee which advised the Provost and the Vice Chancellor for Finance and
Administration on sustainability matters.
I provided leadership in the creation of the Universitya €TMs Climate Action Plan and managed
the implementation of the plan. As part of the plan, I led the University team that partnered and
contracted with Orange County for the Landfill Gas Project. The successful completion and
current operation of this project will allow the Universitya €TMs Carolina North Campus to be
carbon neutral for many years by preventing the escape of the potent greenhouse gas from the
County landfill and using that gas to generate green power.
I was the director of a large department responsible for the provision of energy, water, reclaimed
water, wastewater, and stormwater services to a very large university teaching and research
campus including a major teaching hospital and regional trauma center. I was responsible for
the budget, personnel management, and general direction of the department. My work with
OWASA provided me knowledge of its budget, organization, and business and political drivers.
believe all of my experience and knowledge is relevant and would be valuable for service on the
OWASA Board.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I enjoyed working with OWASA during my entire career at UNC Chapel Hill. I recognize that
OWASA is a valuable and critical asset to Orange County. The provision of reliable, clean, and
efficient services to the community at a reasonable cost is absolutely necessary to sustain a
viable community. I understand the important part OWASA has in the community and
understand its business and operations and understand the importance of its stewardship of
natural resources. I understand the importance of resiliency for the community to recover
following severe weather and the critical role that OWASA plays. I believe my background is
relevant, and that I can contribute to moving OWASA forward by serving on its Board of
Directors. I am willing to commit the time necessary to serve.
Conflict of Interest:
Supplemental Questions:
Orange Water & Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Please list /explain your experience, either professionally and /or from other
boards /commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management.
I was the director of a large department of UNC Chapel Hill. I was responsible for the budget
which exceeded $100 million annually. The department had 150 employees for which I was
responsible. I was a supervisor within the department from 1977 until my retirement in 2012. 1
was the head of the department from 1999 until my retirement. During that period I was named
Interim Executive Director for Facilities Services, a department with over 1300 employees. I
held those responsibilities for six months until a permanent arrangement was made.
In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work /volunteer
experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board.
I have been in volunteer organizations my entire career. Perhaps the most valuable is my
experience in the International District Energy Association (see www.districtenergy.org), a trade
association for owners, operators, vendors, and service providers for the district energy
industry. District energy is the provision of energy services to a campus or a group of municipal
buildings. This is not unlike OWASA provides water and wastewater services to the community.
During my 30 years with the IDEA, I have served on multiple committees including 9 years on
the Board of Directors with terms as Vice Chair (2 years) and Chair (2 years). IDEA is a 1000+
member association with revenues exceeding $1 million per year.

What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
OWASA s Board of Directors is responsible for the oversight of the organization with authority
over rates, budget, property acquisition, policy, etc. The Executive Director of OWASA reports
to the Board.
I hope to help sustain and contribute to the continued efforts toward quality and efficiency of the
critical services OWASA provides. Future planning, budgeting for the short and long term, and
business with integrity are all things to which I can support.
What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues?
OWASA must provide services regardless of growth of the community. OWASA must employ
long range planning to accommodate the needs of the community however it wants to grow. It
simply would not be satisfactory to react to growth after the fact nor to increase system
capacities long before they are needed, but rather to have the right capacities in the systems at
the right time. OWASA must be participate in conversations about growth to be prepared to
provide water and sewer services. OWASA must advise community leaders the impacts of their
decisions about growth in the community on OWASA s systems, operation, and cost.

Professionally, my positions involved budgetary responsibility (up to $2 M annually) and

In addition to the experience listed in the question above, please list the work /volunteer

University and industry work in soils, crops, regulatory affairs (company representative with

agriculture.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to

Provision for supply, delivery and stewardship of water resources for Orange County. I have no
specific items to accomplish, but do have an interest in water reuse as a means of minimizing
impact on available resources.
What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues?
I think OWASA works within the larger needs of county and its municipalities. Therein the
provision, delivery and stewardship of water resources is the specific perview of OWASA.
Where growth and development is under consideration of the various branches of county and
municipal government, OWASA would be active in helping to implement those items having to
do with water.
Other Comments:
I would like to serve on the OWASA board as water availability, use and quality are
paramount to the county's future. I suggest my technical background in agriculture will
allow me to quickly become knowledgeable on local issues and challenges. STAFF

Please list the work /volunteer experience /qualifications that would add to your expertise
for this board.
My experience on the Planning Board gives me a good background for the Bd of Adj. As CEO of
a company, I have a lot of experience with contract law.
What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Board of Adjustment?
Board members must be disinterested parties to cases. They should know something about the
property rules of the County. They should be long -time residents of Orange County and have a
sense of the various communities and their histories on this county.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
Fair resolutions of cases consistent with the rules and diverse interests of Orange County
residents.
What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related
to growth?
Preventing urban sprawl. Protecting water resources. Balanced tax base. Providing essential
services to residents.
What role should the Board of Adjustment take in guiding and regulating growth?
The Board makes judgments on cases before it based on the presentations of opposing parties
The suggestion that the Board has a philosophy suggests it should be a politically appointed
Board and not a legal or quasi -legal Board, which it is.
How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of
the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities?
Try to achieve a consensus that decisions are consistent with these goals and priorities. The
Board acts on cases that should have legal elements that must be considered primary, but in the
context of Orange County goals.

Protect the water quality for future residents. Plan water strategy for the future.
What is OWASA's role in growth /development issues?
OWASA serves the needs of the Urban Services Boundary including Chapel Hill and Carrboro.
They are increasing in density and population size. OWASA has to assure that safe, clean water
is available to meet the long -term needs of these communities. Negotiations with other
communities will be an essential element for these resources and I can deal with that.
