General Questions
1. Why are you interested in the DOA opportunity with Vallejo Flood &
Wastewater?

Opportunity interested me because it is aligned with my background and

to our Sacramento Office twice a week and that commute has not been easy.

4. Please describe your experience in coordinating, tracking and reporting out on
the implementation of organizational goals, objectives, policies and procedures.

able to answer any questions they may have. If there is a specific policy or
