Leo Padreddii, Vice President
Mr. Padreddii was elected Commissioner in November 1998, following his appointment to fill a vacancy in June 1997. Mr. Padreddi was re-elected in 2000.

Born and raised in San Mateo County, Mr. Padreddii has been Mayor, City Councilman, and Planning Commissioner of the City of South San Francisco.

Mr. Padreddii served as co-chairman of the Joint Harbor District/South San Francisco Water Transit Fact-Finding Panel, created to develop the basis for establishing San Francisco Bay ferry and water taxi services at Oyster Point Marina/Park. These services will provide a needed alternative to increasingly difficult highway travel around and across the Bay.

Sally R. Campbell, Treasurer
Ms. Campbell is the past District Board President and had served in that capacity five times. A native of Omaha, Nebraska, Ms Campbell has lived in San Mateo County for 34 years, in Moss Beach for 32 years, and in Pacifica. She was elected to the Harbor Commission in 1992, re-elected in 1996, and again in 2000, and 2004. She was the top vote getter in the San Mateo County-wide Election of 2000 and 2004. Before her election to the Harbor Commission, she served for nearly six years on the Midcoast Community Council, which is an advisory council to the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.

Ms. Campbell is a Realtor with Rupert Taylor Real Estate in Burlingame. “I specialize in listing and selling homes in the greater San Mateo County Peninsula as well as the San Mateo County Midcoast.”

During her career with the Tennessee-based company, Ms. Campbell won awards for excellence in design and print manufacturing. One of the award-winning designs was for "High Steel," a book about the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

She has an adult son and two grandchildren, whom she affectionately calls "my hobbies."

I also have a 13-year-old grandson, whom I have adopted and am raising. He has a great sense of humor, and fortunately, I do. We are going to need this to get through the teen-age years, but have no doubts about coming through with flying colors.

She has 2 years of college from Omaha University and several accredited courses with San Jose State for Marketing and Purchasing.

"My goal as a Commissioner has always been to get the Harbor District in a solid financial condition and continue to expand on recreation for the many visitors to buy fresh fish right off the boats and visit one of our fine restaurants. To meet some of these needs, we are building a brand new restroom facility for our guests.” She advises.

She has also supported the Commercial Fishing Fleet at Pillar Point Harbor. She supported and voted for the Commercial Boats being able to sell fresh fish directly from the boats.
