History

We moved to Mountain House in 2006 from Ft. Hood, TX. We bought our house when it was a vacant lot and watched it go up. Little did we know that this move would be our last and I would be able to retire from the Army 6 years later with a couple of assignments in-between. We love our house and community and that’s a good thing because we will be paying off our loan for the rest of our natural lives.

Running for the board in 2014

I decided to run for the board after being prompted by Steve Gutierrez. I have a skill set that is needed by the people we elect to make decisions for us, namely: my work with service contracts, support agreements and auditing for the Army in my current Resource Management position. As a graduate of the premiere Army leadership course-Ranger School and having served in positions during deployments and stressful times I have established a reputation as both a supportive team player and an effective leader.

My Issues

My philosophy as anyone who knows me will attest to, is: lead, follow or get out of the way. I’m not a deep thinker. I like to look at the issue and get to the important stuff so that I can find a solution. As a board member I’m more concerned with policy than “how to” fix everything. I try and avoid drama and I don’t usually speak unless I have something to say. As an Army Officer I was a successful leader because I demonstrated respect for everyone and wasn’t afraid to get my hands dirty when there was work to be done. When in charge I take charge. When I’m not I try to follow and support. When I can’t do that you’ll find me at the pub.

I am a steward of resources both natural and manmade. I care about our community and I want to see us prosper. The only way to do that is to have a good current operating plan and a sound strategic one.

I pride myself on being a good communicator, especially in writing. One of the duties of the board members is to represent the people who elect us. I have a stake in this community and it’s a long term commitment.

It’s an exciting time to be in Mountain House. We’re looking forward to attending MHHS football games, more activities in the park, 10K races, parades and gatherings.

My Method of Operations

I like to follow processes and I’m a creature of the Military Decision Making Process and Troop Leading Procedures. My mantra is: requirements vs. capability = shortfall. Requirements are a key element to the BOD and understanding where they come from and prioritizing them are what make an effective policy setter. I want to control spending while being a good steward of our resources (people and infrastructure). As a leader I am comfortable with risk and realize that there is no amount of money that can eliminate all risk. The only way to play it safe is to do nothing and that’s not what I’m here for.

About Manuel Moreno

My family and I have lived in Mountain House for over 9 years. My wife and I have two children who attend Bethany Elementary School. Mountain House is our home. I have been involved in several of the youth sports leagues here in Mountain House and have served as either the head coach or assistant coach for our children’s sports teams since we moved to Mountain House.

I am in this position to further my community involvement and make Mountain House even better. I have been in the commercial real estate industry for over 16 years. My knowledge and experience are an asset for the future of our community as we realize new development and retail construction. I have a proven track record of lowering expenses, while increasing amenities to the properties I manage. I believe this experience can be leveraged in our community. I have governance and leadership experience through my involvement with the Building Owners and Managers Association. I have served on the local Board of Directors for 10 years and the BOMA California Board for over 6 years. I am also Secretary of the Pacific Southwest Region for BOMA International.

About Daniel Harrison

MHCSD Board Director Daniel Harrison was appointed by the Board of Directors on June 8, 2016 and elected by voters on November 8, 2016.

My wife Carol and I moved to Mountain House in March 2011. There was only 3 other houses built on our street and about a dozen built in the area. It’s been exciting to see our village grow into a beautiful neighborhood which is know today as Questa. Our two children Zachary and Nicole are grown up and out on their own. We have two Olde English Bull Doggies Lugnut and Panda whom we also consider our children.

I spent 28 years with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office and retired in 2014 at the rank of lieutenant. During my career, I was assigned to several Divisions i.e., Jails, Courts, Patrol and Investigations. My last assignment was as a Watch Commander in the city of Dublin.

Prior to the sheriff’s office, I spent 7 years in the United States Navy. During those years, I worked as an Air Crew Survival Technician and the last 3 years as a Military Police Investigator.

I am a current member of the Mountain House Public Safety Committee and Mountain House Veterans Group. I also founded the Mountain House Active and Retired Law Enforcement Group on Facebook.

I became involved with our Community District about a 1 ½ years ago and began attending the monthly board meetings as a concerned resident of Mountain House. During that time, I gained a wealth of knowledge of the 18 powers the board governs and the responsibility of overseeing, setting policy and approving the annual budget. I attended CSD/Board workshops that dealt with strategic planning, annual budget and capital improvements for our community.

During my first board meeting as a director, I voted “No” on raising special taxes. I strongly believe we as a board can work with and give direction to the CSD staff to maintain a high level of services at the least cost to our residents/taxpayers of Mountain House.

I am very much aware and focused with our Town Center development, infrastructure maintenance, and fiscal responsibilities. I am a huge proponent and support of Public Safety and keeping our kids, town and investment safe.

I believe in our Mission Statement which is to provide responsive service to our growing community that exceeds expectations at a fair value.

About Andy Su

It's been over 10 years since Doctor Andy Su and his wife and daughter moved to Mountain House from San Jose and he still feels the same about this community. "I think the best thing about Mountain House is its people. I've never lived in a town where people were more connected and more invested in the well-being of their neighbors and their home town."

Although their family has grown, now he has two daughters and a son, over the last 8 years, Su has worked very hard to give back to the community that he loves. After being elected to the board in the first ever MHCSD Board of Directors election in 2008, he started the nonprofit Mountain House Flag Football (MHFF) in 2009 with co-founder Susan Patteson and has not looked back since. "We're started 2009 with 80 kids in 3 flag football divisions. In 2015, we had 400 kids in 5 flag football divisions and 65 kids in cheer. I'm so happy that so many families want to be a part of our league." Over the last 7 years, he also added the adult flag football league, which has a spring and summer league, the Mountain House Golf Club, which hosts a monthly tournament at various local courses and the Mountain House Tennis Club, which hosts annual tournaments and weekly tennis lessons at Central Park. The nonprofit also took over the MHCSD Fun Run in 2013 and renamed it the Kite Run since it occurs on the same day as the MHCSD Kite Festival. Other activities that the nonprofit runs include A Royal Affair princess event and the annual MH Halloween Parade. "The mission of the nonprofit is to provide quality recreational leagues and activities for kids and adults in Mountain House and its surrounding areas and I think we've been fairly successful so far."

In additional to being a full-time emergency physician at Sutter Tracy Community Hospital since 2005, serving on the CSD board since 2008 and running MH Flag Football since 2009, he has also served on the Tracy Hospital Foundation Board since 2008 and coaching the Wicklund girls basketball teams since 2015.

As a MHCSD director, Su supports the master plan and has consistently opposed tax increases and supported a more efficient government. He has also supported better communications with the residents, a more robust park and rec program and improvements in public safety.

About Bernice King Tingle

No stranger to the concept of volunteerism, the MHCSD Board Director and Vice President Bernice Tingle has been serving her community since she was 15 years old. As a high school student in Oakland, CA, Director Tingle tutored students in the subjects of English and Mathematics. "Oftentimes through the experience, I ended up learning just as much as the student who I was tutoring," said Tingle. One experience in particular provided her with many life lessons. While tutoring an elementary student, Tingle attempted to motivate the student to study by promising that she would help him earn straight A’s. The student then informed her that he wasn’t interested in getting A’s and actually didn’t plan on finishing school. "Before that experience I thought that every student wanted to get A’s on their report card," said Tingle. "I learned that not everyone has the same objective and if you want to help then you need to find out what they want."

Allowing residents to provide input and become part of the decision-making process are important governance policies for Tingle as an MHCSD Board Director. Finding out what community members want is exactly what Tingle did when she decided to run for the MHCSD Board. Not only did Tingle spend time talking to Mountain House residents, but she talked to the staff from the MHCSD, the fire department, library and the local dentist office. Tingle learned that all of these stakeholders had individual objectives to help ensure Mountain House remains a vibrant community. Community safety, more community involvement by citizens, programs for adults and children and encouraging growth of quality businesses were some of the priorities Tingle heard during her visits.

"As an MHCSD Board Member, I want to make sure that community objectives take priority," said Tingle. "Obviously we will need to balance that with our budget." Fiscal responsibility is a mantra that Tingle not only lives by, but also encourages in others. Through the Young Women’s Empowerment Project, Tingle provides seminars on money management to 14- and 15-year-old girls. "I try to explain that it’s not want you make, it’s what you do with what you make," said Tingle. "By establishing goals and priorities in your life and mindfully spending your resources on those important goals, you will be much more financially responsible." Director Tingle demonstrates her continued commitment to our community and our youth by serving as the Board lead for the Mountain House Youth Action Committee.

Community unity is a concept that Tingle wants to emphasize during her tenure. This involves celebrating diversity by offering cultural learning experiences, as well as encouraging residents to reach out and become actively involved in their neighborhoods. "We should care about our next door neighbor," said Tingle. "It’s our responsibility to go over to our neighbor and introduce ourselves and get to know their schedule. Also, if you see three days of uncollected papers, then pick them up for your neighbor. It is the small things that will make a big difference in our community."

Tingle embraces the Mountain House Master Plan and she cites the Plan, the quality homes, and good neighborhoods as three major assets of the Mountain House Community. In her first few years as a Board Director, Tingle would like to see how the MHCSD can help create transit links between Mountain House and other local communities. She would also like to find ways to better connect the library with the community members. "Our library is a good place for the kids to go. They have wonderful equipment, great programs and a staff that is excited about helping them. We know that smart kids make our community stronger," said Tingle. "I want to find ways to get the library further entrenched in our community."
