Who's Running for Fair Oaks Water District Board?

Fair Oaks residents will get the chance to vote for three open seats on the Board of Directors in the Nov. 6 election. 

The candidates' filing period will run through Aug. 10. So far, it's unclear if any of the incumbents will run for reelection.

Incumbent Mike McRae holds a special two-year term after Division 2 director Daniel Gilliam retired before his 2014 reelection. It is unclear if McRae intends to participate in the upcoming election, said district general manager Tom R. Gray. There is no official word whether Division 4 director Randy Marx or Division 5 director Misha Sarkovich will file for reelection.

• Misha Sarkovich: Director Sarkovich currently sits on the FOWD Board’s Internal Budget Committee. He also acts as an alternative representative for FOWD on the Association of California Water Agencies (ACWA) Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) Committee. He was elected to the Board of Directors in December 2004.
• Mike McRae: In 2004 McRae was a member of the Fair Oaks Water District Financial Review Committee and has attended district meetings over the years advocating on behalf of the district’s ratepayers. McRae is an electrical engineer with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, specializing in telemetry and communications networks.
