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 Mastery€TMs course work I was a student of many professors, including Dan Okun, who have been instrumental over the years in guiding OWASA5ETMs 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 16 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 CDPs€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. 17 Page 3 of 5 Michael Hughes As a Senior Project Manager(1985-1989): He was responsible for all aspects of project management on projects for Malcolm Pirnie5€TMs clients in the following areas: 1)telemetry and systems control and data acquisition, 2) computer based mapping, 3) database management, 4) computer based water and sewer system capital planning, and 5)the implementation of operations data and maintenance management software. He directed a project to assist the Government of Antigua with the establishment of a National Data Center As Manager of Computer Facilities (1985-1989): He managed in-house support and applications development for the computer-aided design, engineering, and accounting and project management computer systems. He directly supervised a staff of 10 programmers and engineers, and in this capacity he managed the business plan, capital and operating budgets and research/development of in-house and direct market applications. The major tasks he accomplished in this period of tine included replacement of the computer system used for accounting and project management, implementation of advanced uses of the CAD system for mapping and engineering analysis, and the development and marketing of software for water and wastewater facility operations. Senior Project Engineer(1983-1984): He developed the so called integrated software approach 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. As Project Engineer(1982): Mr. Hughes evaluated alternative computing hardware and recommended acquisition of an appropriate in house computer for engineering applications. He was responsible for implementing the recommended system and converting programs from time sharing bureau. He developed usage charge-back rates and annual capital and operating budgets for the engineering computer system and supervised extensive applications programming in all areas of engineering. He prepared an in house computer users manual and conducted training sessions in White Plains and regional offices, as well as installed and maintained data communication equipment and terminal facilities. As Engineer(1978-1981):He was responsible for analysis of oceanographic field data and construction of multi-dimensional water quality models as part of Section 201 facilities planning studies and Section 301 h permit applications to determine required wastewater treatment levels, and optimum outfall location. The ocean and estuarine bodies he modeled include Suez Bay and Gulf of Suez, Egypt; Long Island Sound, and Chesapeake Bay. He conducted pH neutralization and bench scale bio-treatability studies for a dye manufacturing wastewater, and an evaluation of existing well and alternative surface water supplies for the world headquarters of a large computer and business machines firm. He also assisted with a sludge-dewatering project for an industrial wastewater treatment facility. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I would like to be reappointed to the Board as not only a matter of public service, but also to bring my professional experience, education and perspective to OWASA which is an organization vital to the health of our citizens, institutions and local economy. Conflict of Interest: 18 Page 4 of 5 Michael Hughes Orange Unified Transportation Board Background, education and experience relevant to this board: Among my responsibilities while employed in the Public Works Department at the City of Durham was to participate in an advisory capacity to the Durham, Chapel Hill Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization in matters that pertained to Durham. In addition, under my direction, the groups of staff that I managed in the Public Works Department, namely Design, Contracting and Inspections, were responsible to engage consultants, and bid and manage design and construction contracts for pedestrian bridges and trails, roadway transportation improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian projects. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: To bring my engineering and transportation planning experiences forward to the Board and contribute to the deliberations and recommendations going forward. Conflict of Interest: None 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. 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 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 ROTC Scholarship a€" University of Notre Dame United States Navy Aviation Officer Candidate Graduate Research Assistantships - University of North Carolina Executive Leadership Institute 5E" 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 19 Page 5 of 5 Michael Hughes 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.

I am determined to be successful despite growing up with two parents who suffer from drug addictions. I have overcome spending my middle school years living in a crack house with my little brother John. After raising my brother in that environment for nearly two years, my house was raided by SWAT and we were placed in a Child Protective Services (CPS)group home. The group home was toxic, we were abused, and no one expected us to succeed. However, I learned that you need to be aware of the opportunities that exist through creative application of rules and regulations. CPS allocates funds per child for living expenses, and by leveraging CPS5€TMs resources in combination with private scholarships, we were able to get out of the group home for the summers. Fortunately, my brother received three scholarships to attend a summer camp in the Adirondack Mountains. I was privileged to participate in three programs: a service trip to build a cafeteria in Belize, an exchange trip to China, and even spent a summer at Harvard. I want to apply my ability to identify creative strategies has enabled me to see tremendous opportunities that have been overlooked. My unique background would certainly bring a fresh perspective to the school. I firmly believe that 5€cehard work beats talent, when talent does not hustles€ra€"Justin Wu. Every day was as struggle, and I worked tremendously hard to get where I am today. I still struggle to figure out: why we have the resources and knowledge to solve the worlds€TMs problems, but do not? Like the world, my parents had everything, and self-destructively lost it all to bad habits. I am passionate about solving these problems, and overcoming societys€TMs bad habits.

Particularly the need for a multi modal and social equity systems capabilities physically and financially. Conflict of Interest: Supplemental Questions: Orange County Planning Board (REQUIRES DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) Please list the work/volunteer experience/qualifications that would add to your expertise for this board. 30 years as a resident and city planning/land development consultant in Orange County, Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. Thorough knowledge of the role of the Planning Board and a background in economic development and housing development within the County. I was the primary consultant to the owner/developer of the Waterstone Development and initiated the conversations with County Commissioners and Durham Tech that resulted in the location of the Orange County Campus within that development. What unique perspective can you bring to the Orange County Planning Board? Pragmatic experience in realistic agricultural land preservation, the economics of development, community design, and the relationship of County planning and economic development efforts in conjunction with the Town of Hillsborough. In addition, I have been developing Fiscal Impact analyses for proposed developments and local government comprehensive plans for about 40 years, including the Fiscal Impact analysis of Waterstone and several development proposals in Chapel Hill and Durham. What do you see as the responsibilities of this board, and what do you hope to accomplish if appointed? While a planning board is charged with providing advice and recommendations to the Commissioners on planning, zoning and development matters; it is a board that should [and in Orange County does] provide a thorough sounding board location for residents, businesses and county government entities especially- more specific topical advisory boards-to merge the conversations about needs and desires for our future community. As product, the board seek to synthesize and develop proposed plans to reach the community goals, plans then vetted through a broad review process ending up in the hands of the elected commissioners for adoption and or modification and adoption. What do you consider to be be the most important issues facing Orange County related to growth? As strange as it may sound to many, making sure our public education system [Orange County, Chapel Hill - Carrboro, and Durham Tech] provides a thorough education for all our residents. Without adequate education, good employment opportunities and economic growth for all residents will be limited and reduce our ability to provide the quality of life conditions we want for all. Beyond this, I believe that the limitations on the extension of public water and sewer beyond the current limited areas around Hillsborough and Chapel Hill/Carrboro need to be re-examined and I believe it is the role of the County to initiate this discussion. 28 Page 3 of 3 Scott Radway What role should the Planning Board take in guiding and regulating growth? I think one of the most important roles should be an annual review of movement toward accomplishing the Board of Commissioners adopted Goals and Priorities. The Planning Board should play a role in this process. Too often, changing conditions- especially those factors well beyond local control -force us to recognize that the achievement of our goals must be pursued via revised regulations. Witness the many changes made to local control by the current and immediately past NC State Legislature. How would you, as a member of the Planning Board, contribute to the implementation of the Board of Commissioners' adopted Goals and Priorities? I am a strong supporter of the adopted goals and priorities-especially the social equity issues. Other than comprehensive planning,the planning board s major interaction with many of these goals is encouraging and measuring if and how proposed private[and public]development meets community goals AND provides safe,livable neighborhoods and business areas.
