– has served Discovery Bay in various ca-pacities over the years, including president and treasurer of the CSD board; trustee of Reclamation District 800; member of the Sheriff ’s Municipal Advisory Com-mittee; commissioner of the East Diablo Fire Protection District; and member of the Discovery Bay Lions Club and Cham-ber of Commerce.
“I have been on the board for 10 of the past 12 years,” said Tetreault, who moved to Discovery Bay in 1998. “And as a member of the budget committee I have
played an important role in bringing you a balanced budget along with setting up reserves for the fi rst time in our town’s his-tory … As a retired longtime resident of Discovery Bay, I have the time available to deal with the many challenges facing our community today.”
Jim Mattison, who was appointed to the CSD board in April of this year fol-lowing the resignation of Director Brian Dawson, said he’s excited to be a part of guiding the town as it moves into the fu-ture.
“The board, working alongside our
great town staff, has worked hard to develop and approve our fi rst complete master plan for the community,” said Mattison. “This 10-year master plan is comprehensive, and I would like the privilege of serving for the next four years so that I can ensure that the plan is implemented.”
The longtime resident has served as a coach and athletic director for CYO for many years and is an active presence in the local Lions Club. He cites the town’s commitment to its infrastructure and recreation programs – including the cre-
ation of a community center – among the board’s many strengths.
“Our town does best when we work together,” said Mattison. “Since I have been on the CSD board, I see more unity now that has been in many years. Our present board is made up of a group of diverse individuals who have jelled and truly have the town’s best interests in mind.”
Temby, who is running for the two-year term against Tetreault, declined to comment on the election.

Oakley candidates prepare for pollsSix candidates vying for three seats on
the Oakley City Council are giving their fi -nal push to earn voters’ attention and sup-port. Incumbent Mayor Kevin Romick is seeking re-election for his third term while contenders Randi Adler, Ron Borland, Di-ane Burgis, David Hansen and Doug Hard-castle are making their fi rst bids for council seats, hoping to make a difference by pro-moting economic growth and continued public safety.
Borland, 61, is a 25-year resident who fi rst made a splash in the local political scene by serving on Oakley Incorporating Committee when Oakley sought cityhood. In his campaign for council, he’s presenting himself as the candidate who will build a bridge between the public and local politi-cians, offering a more transparent process that keeps residents in the loop about what’s going on at City Hall.
Burgis, 47, is known throughout Oakley and East County as the executive director of Friends of Marsh Creek Wa-tershed. Her involvement in the local non-profi t has helped her build connections with elected offi cials on the local, state and na-
tional level, but her quest for City Council is a personal passion.
“I’m running for City Council be-cause I believe I can make a difference,” said Burgis. “I have a compassionate heart that wants to make the world a better place. While some folks running (for council) are focused on what is not working, I am focused on how we can move forward and how we can do better.”
Hansen, 51, is also concerned about Oakley’s growth in the next four years. “I want to see Oakley become a place where people can work, shop, play and enjoy community,” said Hansen. “That will take hard work and strong leadership. I believe I understand the community and have the leadership skills needed to help craft a great future for Oakley.”
Hardcastle, 61, is a local business owner who’s lived in Oakley for more than 30 years. The current president of the Iron-house Sanitary District wants to help draw more businesses to Oakley and improve the city’s economic climate.
Hardcastle, like Borland, wants to cre-ate a transparency between residents and
local government and has pledged to make himself available to listen to the public’s concerns for their city.
Romick has served Oakley for 12 years (two terms on the council and four years on the now-defunct Planning Commission) and intends to use his experience to help steer Oakley into a prosperous future.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve the citizens of Oakley for nearly 12 years,” said Romick, 57. “This is an honor I have never taken lightly. I am very proud of the record I hold as an appointed and elected offi cial.”
Adler, 53, is a consumer activist. Adler didn’t respond to requests from the Press to get her fi nal thoughts about the council race, but in past forums, she has pledged to be a voice of the people and look for ways to make Oakley a destination city to bring in more revenue and tax dollars.
At least two new faces will be on the council by the end of the year. Council-woman Pat Anderson is retiring after 13 years of service, and Councilman Jim Fra-zier is seeking a seat in the State Assembly.
