My Priorities

I’m a steward of Mountain House and support maintenance of our facilities, return on investment for the things we spend money on and support of the Master Plan.  I learned a lot my last 4 years.  I see the biggest issue for us being our relationship with partners and getting us built out to the Master Plan.  MH will be a 44k population with the supporting: commercial, industrial and economic build out to support a work/live ratio such that we don’t have to empty out the town during commute hours.  We should also be able to get a pizza and a tank of gas without driving 6 miles or more.  Transportation is critical for us and I’m an ally with our public partners and ride share community.  This community has many wonderful volunteers with great ideas and I support and encourage our resident’s initiatives. 

My Method of Operations

By now everyone should know I make up my own mind and have a decision making process that I hope is consistent and pretty easy to follow.  I’m not fun to go to Vegas with because I don’t put too much money on the table and everybody knows what I’m thinking.  I am a retired Army Officer and I have a way of doing business that is successful in this environment.  I like to gather the facts from all of the sources I can and process them to determine whether what we’re doing is: feasible, acceptable, and sustainable.  Feasible means it makes sense and we have the resources to do it. Acceptable is following the rules and not violating authorities.  We have many binding documents that formed us because we were built with private funds, not public (tax) dollars.  That’s a key concept to understand when we exercise our powers.   By sustainable I mean, can we keep up with the maintenance and other costs of continuing to do whatever we’ve signed up for? 

I’m looking for a Replacement

I’m proud to serve on the MHCSD BOD and be in the company of residents like myself who care about our future and want to provide the best services and opportunities for our residents that we can.  I’m also thrilled at the diversity and openness of our town and that enthusiasm is reflected in the BOD.  None of us want to continue bearing the position for too long though.  There’s a time to move on and I’m looking for my replacement when my next term is finished.  If you think you have what it takes, you’re probably right!  Please let me know if I can help you get oriented.  We all want to hand our seat off to someone who will continue to move us forward, hold us accountable and make good decisions.  It’s a rewarding experience being a part of the leadership for our community and representing Mountain House.  I hope if you’re reading this and live here, you’ll accept the challenge and step into the board room for the next election. 

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.
