Subject: Jim Graydon for vina GSA board
I am a domestic well owner within the Vina Subbasin, and I am writing to voice my strong
support for the appointment of Jim Graydon to the Vina GSA Board. Based on his background
and experience, I believe he is exceptionally well suited for this position.
Mr. Graydon brings extensive professional expertise in water resources, including
groundwater management, remediation projects, and wastewater treatment, gained through
many years of technical consulting. In addition, he has demonstrated a strong commitment to
public service through his role as a Domestic Well User Representative on the Vina GSA
Stakeholder Advisory Committee. His previous service on the boards of the California Onsite
Wastewater Association and the California Association of Sanitation Agencies further reflects
his depth of relevant experience.
Equally important, Mr. Graydon is dedicated to fostering collaboration and trust among
diverse stakeholder groups and improving communication where gaps exist. He maintains
strong connections with domestic groundwater users and is widely regarded as a credible and
reliable representative of their interests. Jim Graydon would bring valuable perspective,
fairness, and data-driven judgment to the Vina GSA Board of Directors.
Thank you,
Blake Ellis & Michael Nalin
