MESA'S BOARD APPOINTS NEW DIRECTOR
Costa Mesa, Calif.
- Mesa Consolidated Water District's (Mesa) Board of Directors (Board)
announces the appointment of James R. Fisler to represent Division II on the Board. Mr. Fisler
replaced former Director Paul E. Shoenberger.
The Board received letters of interest from 20 candidates. The candidates were invited
to attend Board meetings to gain a better understanding of the Board's activities and have the
opportunity to ask questions. The Board voted to appoint Mr. Fisler at its August 25th Board
meeting and he was sworn in the following day.
"After a very competitive process the Board voted to appoint Mr. Fisler to the Board,"
said Shawn Dewane, Board President. "He has a passion for public policy, commitment to
public service, and is highly motivated to become more involved in water issues. The Board
and staff are pleased to welcome Mr. Fisler, he is a great asset to Mesa."
Director Fisler previously served as the Vice-Chair of the Planning Commission for
the City of Costa Mesa and as Parks and Recreation Commissioner prior to that. He has been a
member of the City of Costa Mesa's Residential Rehabilitation and Redevelopment Committee
since 1997, in many capacities, including as an alternate, full member, or liaison from the
Planning Commission. He has been a volunteer in the city's Neighbors for Neighbors program
for over 10 years, and is a graduate of the Citizens Police Academy.
Mr. Fisler is currently a Realtor with Weichman Associates in Mesa Verde and was a
regional manager for Nordstrom stores for over 12 years. Both positions equipped him with
the necessary skills to provide outstanding customer service.
