My wife Lois and I first experienced Bear Valley Springs when we built our weekend cabin here in 1980, but our involvement in the local community was minimal as we lived in Los Angeles. As retirement loomed closer we explored Texas and Northern California, but nothing was as attractive as Bear Valley Springs. We bought our home on the valley floor in 1998, and I retired as a Marketing Executive with Hehr Windows in 2005.
Within a few years Lois and I became involved in the community, including volunteer committees within the BVSA and with the BVCSD. I was elected to the BVSA Board of Directors from 2010 to 2016: one year as Treasurer, five as President. Over time I deemed the recurrent cycle of BVCSD Directors was less than productive, and felt they were being elected based on an unrealistic understanding of the issues facing the valley. This inspired me to apply, and be appointed to, one of the Board positions opening in Fall 2018.
We have reached a time in the 50 year history of Bear Valley Springs when much of the infrastructure has aged to the point that a major investment in repair and replacement must be made. If not done, the valley cannot remain livable. Arguments have made about past Board and Management decisions; some were good, some likely not. Given the changes in laws since the inception of Bear Valley Springs, BVCSD faces some hard choices. Many of them will be unpopular, but necessary.
We now have a great staff, and a Board of Directors willing to meet the challenges head on. To accomplish what is required, we need Will, Organization, and Resources. We're two-thirds of the way there.
