DELIVERING RESULTS
NEARLY 64%
PROPERTY TAX REDUCTION
As your Division 1 Director, I supported and made the motion to approve, a historic reduction in the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District property tax rate.
The rate was reduced from $0.11 to $0.04 per $100 of assessed value, leaving nearly $60 million in the hands of taxpayers this year while the District continues planning and investing in the infrastructure necessary to secure our region’s water future.
Responsible financial management should produce real results for the people we serve.
JOSE’S PRIORITIES
PROTECT TAXPAYER DOLLARS
Responsible budgets, strong financial oversight, transparency, accountability, and smart use of public resources.
SECURE OUR WATER FUTURE
Long-term water supply planning, groundwater sustainability, recharge, storage, conservation, and regional cooperation.
PLAN FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Make decisions today that ensure our children and grandchildren inherit a strong, reliable, and sustainable regional water system.
INVEST IN INFRASTRUCTURE
Build and maintain the infrastructure necessary to provide reliable water while pursuing grants and alternative funding to reduce local costs.
Water policy is complex. It requires understanding infrastructure, long-term planning, public finance, rates, budgets, investments, and the responsibility that comes with managing taxpayer dollars.
For more than 17 years, I have built my career in California’s water industry. My professional experience includes financial planning, budgeting, accounting, investments, infrastructure financing, water rates, debt management, and public agency administration.
I bring that experience to every decision I make as your Division 1 Director.
EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS
SERVING DIVISION 1
I am proud to represent Division 1 on the San Bernardino Valley Municipal Water District Board of Directors. Our region is growing, and the decisions we make today about water supply, infrastructure, and financial stewardship will shape our communities for generations.
My commitment is simple: protect taxpayers, plan responsibly, and ensure our communities have the reliable water supply they need to prosper.
