The Cedar Mountain Fire Protection District Governing Board is the single most important committee on this mountain and is the one place where we as citizens can make a difference in the life on the mountain.
All of the money that is collected for fire protection and snow removal comes back to the mountain and is managed by the Cedar Mountain Fire Protection District Governing Board. Understanding this is why I have felt the need to become a part of this vital part of the safety issues here on the mountain.
1983 was the year I first came to the mountain and have been a summer resident since that time. I have seen a great many changes including the change from accessing my home in the winter by snowmobile to being able to drive right in with my automobile. I have seen the addition of a great fire station with a very well-trained staff and ambulance which now serves our community. I have had occasion for the need to call 911 for my wife and the ambulance had to come from Orderville. The fact that we now have one which is just minutes from my home is extremely comforting.
My career with the BNSF Railroad included being elected as Local Chairman for the United Transportation Union. The duties included negotiating within the Union, maintaining and incorporating yearly budgets, maintaining seniority rosters and working with the BNSF management. As a trainman Conductor for the BNSF Railroad I worked transporting freight from one terminal to another which required accurate records of boxcars, track orders and manifests.
At present I am the President of the Timber Trails Homeowners Association. I was elected to the Board in 2000 and have been active with the management of the association since that time.
With this background I feel I have a lot to offer the citizens of the mountain in working on the Cedar Mountain Fire Protection District Governing Board. I would like to see the residents of the mountain working together for the good of all of us. I am currently on the Snow Removal Committee appointed by the current Board in an attempt to find ways to improve this important service for all of us.
Due to prior plans and commitments I was unable to attend the candidates night on September 4 at the Strawberry Community Center and the one held at the Fire Station on September 10, but you need to know that I am committed to the cause of the fire station and will be a member that is there for you.
You will find I am the kind of Board member that is quiet, will listen first, hear all the comments and make a decision based what is best for the community.
I would like to count on your vote and confidence in me on your ballot.
