C. Firm and Team Experience Over the past 20 plus years, JS&TM staff have provided lake and water feature design and consulting services for municipalities, homeowners associations, golf course owners, and major builders such as City of Santa Ana, City of Costa Mesa, City of Escondido, City of Cerritos, Lennar Communities, Centex Homes, Highpointe Communities, Tejon Ranch and others. We are intimately familiar with lake/pond renovation design procedures, regulations, and standards. Our combined 25-years of Lake and Water Feature Design and Engineering experience has given us the opportunity to become very familiar with each phase of lake/pond development from planning through construction. We specialize in Lake/Pond Design, Engineering, and Construction. We have extensive experience reviewing lakes and designing renovation plans to transform lakes into valuable community assets. Specialized Training Mr. Jonis C. Smith, PE, CFM, QSD/P, Env SP and Mr. Tim Muli, PE, CFM, QSD/P, LEED AP are our Principal Civil Engineers. Both hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, a Master of Science in Civil Engineering, and multiple professional licenses and technical certifications. Jonis and Tim have over 48-yrs of combined professional experience delivering Civil Engineering services throughout Southern California. Mr. Smith also has unique training in the design and engineering of lakes and water features. His career path provided him with the extraordinary and unique experience of being trained by and working directly with J. Harlan Glenn, Johan Perslow, and Kenneth R. King; the three most experienced lake engineers in the southwestern United States. There is no other lake engineer that has received direct training and worked with all three of these designers. Mr. Smith developed a design approach that takes the best of the designs that his teachers developed, combines them to create a superior design approach that betters their work, and then added his own techniques to create a design approach that results in superior water quality, maintainability, safety, and aquatic ecosystem health. Mr. Smith was also trained in the techniques and practices of lake management by Dave Glenn of Lake Management Inc, (LMI). Company Overview JS&TM is a debt -free employee -owned firm.
