Dublin San Ramon Services District Announces Leadership Change

DUBLIN, CA — Dan McIntyre, the general manager of the Dublin San Ramon Services District, is retiring after a 34-year career in the water and wastewater industry, DSRSD announced in a news release. The board voted unanimously to appoint Assistant General Manager Jan Lee, who will replace him effective Dec. 23. She will be the first woman to manage the district in its 70 years of existence.

McIntyre served seven years as general manager of DSRSD, during which he implemented policies to strengthen the district’s business practices and implemented a comprehensive program to plan for aging infrastructure needs, among other accomplishments.

“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to thank Dan for his many years of dedicated service to the DSRSD organization and the community it serves,” DSRSD Board President Georgean Vonheeder-Leopold said in a statement. “He will be missed.”

Lee has served as assistant general manager of DSRSD since 2020, where she has managed several programs, including an Alternative Water Supply Study and an update of the Water Resilience Policy. She also managed the district’s COVID-19 response.

Before DSRSD, Lee worked 13 years for the East Bay Municipal Utility District and the City of Hayward. She holds a bachelors in civil engineering from UC Davis and is a Registered Professional Engineer in California.

“It has been my great pleasure to work with Dan McIntyre over the last several years as he has navigated the agency through several challenges, including the District Office flood, droughts and a pandemic,” she said in a statement. “As I step into the role of General Manager, I look forward to working closely with the Board to serve our community and protect the environment.”

“With the retirement of an excellent leader like Dan, we could not have picked a more suitable candidate for this position,” said Board Director Dinesh Govindarao. “I am impressed by Jan’s technical expertise and the strong relationships she has built with our regional partners.”
