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 4 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. 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 5 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.

City Limits Sex: Male Ethnic Background: white Community Activities/Organizational Memberships: Volunteer with NC Botanic Garden in Chapel Hill 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: 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 of use to OWASA. Conflict of Interest: 10 Page 2 of 3 James Fickle 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: Supplemental Questions: 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. 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). 1 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. 11 Page 3 of 3 James Fickle 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 OWASXs 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. Boards/Commissions appointments: 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.

Board of Directors, Orange Water & Sewer Authority Boards/Commissions applied for: Orange Water&Sewer Authority Board of Directors Background, education and experience relevant to this board: I previously served, successfully, on OWASA s Board of Directors. As a result of my time/presence/service to the OWASA Board of Directors, I obtained significant institutional knowledge, built significant relationships with staff and current/former Board of Directors, and know the issues and work related to the Organization and serving on the Board of Directors. In particular, in my 2+ years of service, I helped navigate OWASA through budget cycles, consideration of rate increases, relevant issues like fluoride, and community engagement, and worked to increase effective and efficient relationships between Board, staff leadership and staff. In my time at OWASA, we somewhat successfully shifted the Organization s culture to being more engaging of the community; to being more transparent, responsive and supportive of ALL staff, esp. hourly/non-senior staff; and to being more attentive to issues of equity and diversity. Where I didn t so much have the technical knowledge related to managing a water and sewer authority, I worked to cultivate relationships with staff and board members who could be a resource in facilitating that learning. Beyond that, my expertise as a community organizer and advocate lends itself to serving as a voice of representation for those perspectives, identities and communities not traditionally represented at the table/board room. Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: After having served my term, I promised the staff and Directors that I would return. I believe there will be a seat coming available, and I want to provide continuity and continue the accountability, transparency and representation that that seat carries and represents. Conflict of Interest: No. 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. Budget: helped facilitate OWASA s budget cycle and process of approval for 2 years; served on the Carrboro Human Services Board and advised Alderpeople on how/where to allocate portion of town s budget; worked to build, approve and implement budgets for moderate sized non- profits; Personnel and Management: worked to adjust OWASA s HR, personnel and management policies to make the Organization more supportive of hourly and non-Senior staff; accomplished utilizing a consultant to access, evaluate and implement employee organizational survey and new employee performance review policy. 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 believe my community involvement with the NAACP, service on local boards in Carrboro, and role as an advocate/organizer lend itself to being a gatekeeper and trusted leader in the community. I will continue to work to ensure that the community is informed/educated about decision-making, has an opportunity to engage with OWASA, and that the organization 14 Page 3 of 3 Quinton Harper maintains a commitment to accountability, transparency and providing a high quality, cost- effective service to the community.

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 OWASAAETMS 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 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 16 Page 2 of 4 Michael Hughes 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.
