Past Service on Orange County Advisory Boards:
None
Boards/Commissions applied for:
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 retired from UNC Chapel Hill in 2012 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
9
Page 2 of 3 Raymond (Ray)
measures we implemented to significantly conserve water supply resources which are valuable
to the entire community.
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. I
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. I
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
10
Page 3 of 3 Raymond (Ray)
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.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
BS/MS/PhD degrees from Texas Tech University in Agronomy(soils &crops)followed by
nearly 40 years of applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture have made me aware of
the critical need to properly manage water resources.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Water resources (availability, supply, conservation, reclaimation)are a preeminent issue for all
society even now and will become moreso in the future. I hope my technical background will be

Agricultural Preservation Board
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
BS/MS/PhD degrees from Texas Tech University and University of Illinois followed by 40 years
experience in applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture. I am familiar with production
systems ranging from large operations to local market-garden farms with diverse production
integrating crop and animal enterprises.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I have been in Agriculture for my entire career and would like Agriculture to continue to be a
viable way of life in what has become a heavily urbanized area (Research Triangle metropolitan
area). I am sympathetic with the challenges of continuing agricultural lifestyles and need to
adapt to changing needs brought on by urbanization. While large mechanized broadacre farms
will continue to decrease in number in metropolitan areas, we have an opportunity to preserve
agricultural areas which have production suited to the urban area and local markets.

Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
BS/MS/PhD degrees from Texas Tech University and University of Illinois followed by 40 years
experience in applied research and regulatory affairs in agriculture. While with industry, my
employers (and I as their representative) had occasion to use the services of the Community
Colleges in the areas where I worked. More specifically, we used summer interns as technical
assistants in field and laboratory work. While Durham Technical is not agriculturally oriented, I
suggest my experience would be useful, giving me a broad perspective applicable to the many
disciplines taught at Durham Technical.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
I feel the community college system is a critical part of our overall educational system and while
it makes many contributions to American Industry, more can be done. Allegiances of Durham
Technical with local industry no doubt exist, but is a particular area that can be strengthened to
increase American competitiveness, particularly in the biotechnical, mechanical, electrical and
electronic trades.

Please list/explain your experience, either professionally and/or from other
boards/commissions that you have in the areas of budget, personnel, and management.
Professionally, my positions involved budgetary responsibility(up to$2 M annually) and
management of direct reporting personnel (up to 14). I am aware of the needs for planning,
implementation, and oversight of these resources while maintaining focus on the tasks assigned.
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.

University and industry work in soils, crops, regulatory affairs (company representative with
EPA,OPP). Over the years, I have worked with irrigation so am conversant with water use in
agriculture.
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
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

Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
In prior roles I've held, I have had to balance important constituency groups and make timely
decisions based on facts and cause and effect analysis. The OWASA Board of Directors
requires that members balance the interests of local governments, the environment, and local
ratepayers. It is vital that we have Directors who are able to give the facts the due diligence in
determining how to balance these three priorities and ensure that ratepayers enjoy great
services, that we are good stewards of our precious water resources, and that the community
has confidence in OWASA's ability to serve.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
The OWASA Board of Directors is an important Board in our community given that they oversee
a utility agency. Water use and sustainability is becoming an ever important issue with a
changing global climate. When coupled with increased development in southern Orange County,
the OWASA Board of Directors will have to ensure that growth is sustainably managed as it
relates to our water resources.

Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
As someone who worked in higher education and with the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, I know firsthand how critical it is that we have a higher education system that works
for everyone.At DPI I worked with Superintendent Atkinson as she sought greater cooperation
with the Community College system as part of an effort to provide students with more
opportunities while still in high school. At UNC, our students take courses in their local
communities over the summer to attain credit for coursework towards their degree and many
students attend the community colleges before coming to the University for their junior and
senior years. In both institutions the community college system is critical for the success of every
student, our economy, and the state.
Reasons for wanting to serve on this board:
Throughout my experiences I have learned how the community college system is an important,
and occasionally overlooked, piece of our public education system. The community college
system is at an intersection for students who are exploring careers, preparing for four year
institutions, seeking job training, or simply furthering themselves. I have witnessed students who
were able to attain their certification as a CNA, allowing them to work during their college years
while also pursuing their RN degress. That is because of programs offered by our community
colleges. They go into four year institutions with a significant leg up on their campuses and in
their programs. Other students attend community colleges during their high school years while
earning credit that allows them to both earn credit to graduate high school and earn credit
towards their bachelor degree in our state universities. I am committed to the success of our
community colleges because of the role it plays for state s students. We need someone to serve
as our representative on the DTCC board who is committed to that success, but also committed
to working with both of our county s school systems to ensure students know of and have
access to all of the opportunities to DTCC provides. Additionally, I am committed to the goal of
making our students college, career, and citizenship ready and believe that DTCC and all 50 of
our state s community colleges are an integral part of that mission. Just as important to our
community is the opportunity to enhance job training and skills development. As we work to
bring more businesses to Orange County, they will require potential employees with the skills
and training required. DTCC is a vital asset to growing our local talent pool right here in Orange
County that will allow our county and our residents to compete with communities across the
state and country.As a trustee, I will be 100% committed to ensuring we stay ahead of the game
when it comes to job skills development for DTCC generally and the Orange County campus in
particular. However, our representative will have to be committed to limiting the burden to attend
classes with DTCC. With the default rate among community college students on the rise, our
representative will have be committed to ensuring affordability. Programs must remain
affordable for students with innovative ways to help students graduate with as little debt as
possible.

Boards/Commissions applied for:
Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors
Background, education and experience relevant to this board:
I am a Civil/Environmental engineer by education with 40 years of practice in design,
construction, and project management. I have BS in Civil Engineering from the University of
Notre Dame and a MS in Environmental Engineering from UNC Chapel Hill. I also pursued a
Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from UNC Chapel Hill which I did not complete. During the
Masters€TMs course work I was a student of many professors, including Dan Okun, who have
been instrumental over the years in guiding OWASAa€TMs policy and technical practices.
I previously served on the OWSA Board as one of the Orange County Representatives from
May, 2012 through September, 2015 and in that capacity served as Secretary and Vice Chair. I
needed to resign from my reappointment to the second three-year term in October, 2015 due to
the travel and technical challenges of a new job that I took on. I am now in a position where
those are no longer a consideration and I will be able to resume the responsibilities of an
OWASA Board Member.
During my service on the OWASA Board, as I am sure that Ed Kerwin and my fellow Board
20
Page 2 of 5 Michael Hughes
members would attest, I contributed significantly in all matters that came before the Board.
Most of my years of engineering practice have been centric to water supply and wastewater
engineering principally as a design consultant. Since taking on the new position at CDP, Inc. I
have refined my project management credentials, and have been assisting with the deployment
and training for our application suite to organizations all across the county, and in different
sectors of the economy from defense contracting and national security, state and local
government, and construction companies.
My life-long work experiences are described on more detail in the paragraphs which follow.
Mr. Hughes currently is Senior Product Specialist with CDP, Inc. In this capacity he has
responsibility for training, support and deployment services associated with CDPa€TMs flagship
partnerships with Oracle/Primavera Project Management and Scheduling, InEight Hard Dollar
Cost Estimating, Kahau Project and Contract Management and Collaboration, Phoenix Project
Management, and InEight InfinyD BIM Modeling and Project Management.
He routinely teaches classes in project scheduling and consults with CDP clients on best
practices and trouble-shooting complex schedules. In addition, his years of experience in
construction and engineering design provide a valuable resource to the CDP client base in all of
the application areas of the flagship partners.
Prior to joining CDP, Inc., between 2005 and 2015, Mr. Hughes served as Assistant Engineering
Manager and as Contract Management Engineer for the Department of Public Works, City of
Durham, North Carolina. In the capacity as the Assistant Engineering Manager and was
responsible for the operations of the Engineering Division which is comprised of the Survey,
Design, Contracting and Construction Inspections groups. All totaled there are about 36 full-
time staff which design and contract Public Works resurfacing and construction projects, as well
as provide inspections services for City and commercial projects from the development
community.
Between 1991 and 2005, Mr. Hughes was the managing partner for his civil engineering and
land-surveying firm. Under his direction the firm designed and supervised the construction of a
number of residential subdivisions, shopping centers, and town home complexes across many
jurisdictions in central North Carolina.
The scope of these projects included many of the following tasks: 1) Land Planning, 2)
Extensive drawing preparation for land-use and construction permits, 3) Participation in public
meetings and hearings, 4) Detailed design of streets,water, sewer and storm water systems, 5)
Erosion control design, 6)State highway road widening design and plan preparation, 7)
Construction stakeout and sequencing, 8) Extensive Construction Management and
Administration, 9) Bridge Design, and 10)Application for Section 404/401 Permits from the US
Army Corps of Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources.
Mr. Hughes returned to graduate school during the calendar year of 1990 to pursue advanced
studies in environmental engineering at the University of North Carolina. During this year he
took graduate level courses in the Mathematics Department and the Department of
Environmental Engineering. The focus of these studies was directed toward gaining an
understanding of the mathematics and architecture of three-dimensional finite element
groundwater and contaminant transport modeling software. As a result of these efforts, he
obtained computational experience optimizing a three-dimensional finite element groundwater
flow modeling code and adapting the code to the parallel processing architecture on Convex and
Cray supercomputers.
After earning his Masters€TMs Degree in Environmental Engineering in 1978, Mr. Hughes
worked for Malcolm Pirnie, Inc. until 1990 in the various capacities listed below.

to water and sewer system hydraulic analysis and design. This approach, which incorporated
database management, hydraulic analysis and computer aided design software, was known as
WATERNET and SEWERNET, respectively, for water distribution and sewer collection
systems. He successfully applied this approach to a number of system study and planning
projects for Malcolm Pirniea€TMs clients. Two significant SEWERNET projects,which provided
the basis for technical papers he authored and presented at national conferences, were
completed for the City of Orlando, Florida, and Pima County, Arizona. Mr. Hughes also served
as part of a three-person committee responsible for selection and implementation of Malcolm
Pirniea€TMs first computer aided design system.

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.
During my tenure with the Public Works Department at the City of Durham I was a key member
of a the team that developed and managed a capital improvement budget in excess of$100M
for projects similar to OWASA. Previously during my prior appointment to the OWASA Board I
served as Chair of the Human Resources Committee where we facilitated the staff to make
substantial improvements to the compensation structure and benefits, notably health insurance.
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.
APWA a€" Public Works Executive Candidate, July 2012
Durham Engineers Club, President, 2009-2013

United States Navy Aviation Officer Candidate
Graduate Research Assistantships - University of North Carolina
Executive Leadership Institute a€" City of Durham
What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to
accomplish if appointed?
The responsibilities of the OWASA Board are to adopt the annual budget; set rates, fees and
charges based on cost-of-service principles; approve bond issues to fund capital projects; make
policy decisions; and appoint the Executive Director, General Counsel and independent auditor.
As a member of the Board I desire to continue the initiatives that were started during my
previous tenure on energy use, the long-range water supply plan, the strategic plan, and human
resources matters. In addition, I will work with fellow Board members to ensure that the staff
has the focus and means so that we never have a water supply disruption as we did this year.
What is OWASA's role in growth/development issues?
OWASA and the Board of Directors do not take a lead role in growth and development issues.
For the most part those are policy matters concerning growth, land-use, zoning and related
ordinances reserved for the Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County governments.
However, OWASA does take on a supporting role in areas listed in the paragraphs€TMs which
follow. This supporting role enables the planners, visionaries and developers to move forward
with projects consistent with the policies and ordinances, as approved by the elected officials in
the jurisdictions.
First, to advise Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County on the sustainable long-term water
supply available from the primary water resources; namely, the Cane Creek and University Lake
watersheds augmented by the stone quarry as a storage reservoir after it becomes available and
online after 2035.
Secondly, to ensure that water supply and wastewater facilities, including but not limited to the
treatment plants, storage tanks, underground piping, pump stations and sludge disposal
operations are always online, well-maintained, and performing in a manner that exceeds
industry and regulatory standards.
Thirdly, to ensure that system infrastructure enumerated above has capacity to serve not only
the residents, but also the planned development in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. This will
necessitate, as appropriate, the replacement and upgrading of physical facilities through the CIP
program, funded by bonds when necessary, as well as the engineering review and rigorous
inspection of the water and sewer infrastructure, designed and constructed by others, which
extends OWASA service to new development approved by Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange
County.
23
Page 5 of 5 Michael Hughes
Lastly, to develop and maintain interagency agreements and infrastructure with the other
proximal water supply entities, such as the City of Durham, Hillsborough and others, so as to
allow the continuation of water supply during drought or emergency conditions.
