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 of use to OWASA. Conflict of Interest: 13 Page 2 of 3 James Fickle Supplemental Questions: 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. Conflict of Interest: Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees 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. Conflict of Interest: 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. 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. Durham Technical Community College Board of Trustees What improvements do you believe can be made so that DTCC better serves the residents of Orange County? As suggested above, strengthen ties with local industry to enable curriculum paths leading to careers in industry. 14 Page 3 of 3 James Fickle 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 COMMENTS: Originally applied 9/24/2010 for OWASA Board of Directors, Agricultural Preservation Board and Durham Technical Community College Board of Directors. UPDATED APPLICATION FOR OWASA 04/16/2011. UPDATED APPLICATION FOR OWASA 04/22/2012. ADDRESS VERIFICATION: Steeplechase Road is in Chapel Hill Township and Chapel Hill Jurisdiction. Updated application with additional questions answered for OWASA 12/27/2013. This application was current on:4/1/2017 Date Printed:12/28/2017 Boards/Commissions appointments: 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. 15
