 Yesterday morning the
Amador Water Agency held interviews for the replacement of now Supervisor Ted
Novelli on the Amador Water Agency Board. The Board of Directors for the agency
is patterned after the Board of Supervisors and thus each Director represents a
supevisorial district. The opening on the board, created by Novelli’s election to the Board of Supervisors
is for district 3 which encompasses much of the upcountry areas of the county.
Applying for the position was a previous short term member Dave Thomas from
Pine Grove.
 Thomas served on the agency
board for about 6 months after then Director Mike Johnson resigned early. The
second application was from Joe Bonini, a resident of the Mace Meadows area.
“The Board expressed that both candidates were extremely qualified,” said
General Manager Jim Abercrombie. He went to say, “Joe Bonini has years of experience on the Mace Meadows
water board and Dave Thomas years of service in public organizations and 6 mos.
of experience on the AWA board, making both very, very qualified candidates.
However, to conduct business
of an agency we needed to pick one of the two and the AWA board selected Dave
Thomas to fill out Ted Novelli’s term and encouraged both candidates to re-run
in 2 years when the office becomes open to let the people decide who should
represent them, because of the high qualifications of both candidates.” Thomas
will officially be sworn in tomorrow at 9am this morning at the Agency.
