EID head of finances Mark Price retires Michael Raffety Mountain Democrat correspondent El Dorado Irrigation District Finance Director Mark Price retired May 6 after 18 years of budgets, handling bond sales and working with auditors and rating agencies. When interviewed May 2 he stopped to take one more call about his last bond measure, financing $71.5 million of unfunded pension liability. The rate was under 5%, saving the 7.5% that the California Public Employees Retirement System was charging for the liability. By buying insurance for this bond issue the district was able to get an AA rating. The final closing and sale was May 17, with details due at the May 23 board meeting. Price, a certified public accountant, has overseen $1.3 billion in bonds. The $1.3 billion bond figure includes the three utility districts he has worked for. Price began his career working for Price Waterhouse in Sacramento.
Healthy Nerve Healthy Blood Vessels
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves often causing weakness, pain, numbness, tingling, and may also lead to serious balance problems. Diseased Blood Vessels This damage is commonly caused by a lack of blood flow to the nerves in the hands and feet. If not properly treated this lack of blood flow may Nerves Shrivel when cause the nerves to degenerate. Blood Vessels Weak and Disappear As you can see in Figure 1, as the blood vessels surrounding the nerves become diseased they shrink and shrivel. This process hastens the flow of vital Figure 1 nutrients to the nerves required to remain healthy. When these nerves begin to “die” it could lead to balance problems, pain, numbness, tingling and burning symptoms in the hands and feet.
In order to effectively treat your neuropathy 3 factors must be determined.
1
What is the underlying cause?
2
How much nerve damage has been sustained?
Placerville, CA – Currently the most common method most doctor’s recommend to treat neuropathy is with the use of prescription drugs. Although these drugs may temporarily reduce your symptoms they may cause a feeling of discomfort and in some cases lead to a variety of terrible unwanted side effects. We have a different method!
Our advanced treatment method has 3 main goals
1
Increase Blow flow
2
Stimulate small fiber nerves
3
Decrease brain based pain
The treatment to increase blood flow utilizes a specialized low-level light therapy (not to be confused with laser therapy) using light emitting diode technology. This technology was originally developed by NASA to assist in increasing blow flow. The low level light therapy is like watering a tree. The light therapy will allow the blood vessels to grow back around the peripheral nerves and provide them with the proper nutrients to heal and repair. It’s like adding water to a tree and seeing the roots grow deeper and deeper. The amount of treatment needed to allow the nerves to fully recover varies from person to person and can only be determined after a detailed neurological and vascular evaluation. “My feet hurt so bad after sitting I could barely take the first few steps. I have had 11 treatments and no longer feel sharp or shooting pains and most of the tingling is gone. I now have full balance and can walk without pain. As Dr. Mooney explained the treatment is not painful, nothing uncomfortable, and is actually very relaxing.” – Neuropathy Pain Patient John Mooney, DC at Premier Healthcare will do a neuropathy severity examination to determine the extent of the nerve damage for only $47.

Along the way he has coached his kids in soccer, basketball and lacrosse. He now has six grandchildren. He said his first job after retirement is rehabbing his house in Rancho Murrieta. He is leaving a financially stable district with “a solid footing.” The challenges ahead are replacing the Silver Lake Dam and El Dorado Mains 1 and 2. As promised to General Manager Jim Abercrombie, Price gave six months notice so they could have his replacement on board for him to help her make the transition seamlessly. The new finance director is Jaime Bandie, whose previous employment was revenue finance officer for the city of Elk Grove.
