Todd was a United Way board member and allocation committee member for five years. The allocation committee is responsible for interviewing and visiting each entity that requests funds (such as Klamath Hospice) and evaluating their needs. As a board member for the Oregon Department of Transportation, Todd examined alternatives for transportation in the event of dam removal on the Snake River and Columbia River. Todd initiated the committee to build the Veterans Memorial, a dynamic brick monument honoring local men and women of the United States Armed Forces. Todd sealed the agreement between Merle West Medical Center and the local Fire District to secure ambulance service for the city. Todd started the Air Service Task Force in the early '90s.  The Task Force dwindled over time, but was invigorated by Airport Director, Ann Crook. Klamath Falls now boasts both north and south bound flights. Todd assisted Klamath area farmers by helping to secure $100K towards hard costs in the legal fights over water. Todd led the city team, including the City Manager and Finance Director, to make a presentation on the city's financial health to the Standard & Poor’s rating agency. This saved the city over $40K on insurance costs and lowered the interest rates on bonds for the new Police Department facility. As a previous business owner in Klamath Falls, Todd had insight into the woes of running a small business. In addition to supporting small business, Todd has enticed large businesses and start-ups that expanded local commerce. “I attended the International Shopping Center Convention three years ago.  In talking with an Office Depot representative, I answered her questions about the make up of Klamath Falls, and urged her to pay a visit. She did, and liked what she saw. Now we have an Office Depot!” In 1988, Todd, as a member of the Downtown Redevelopment Advisory Board, teamed with OIT for a sustainability project. The results of that collaboration is the downtown street-scape project, which includes geothermally heated sidewalks and crosswalks. In 2001, the City, along with OIT, received the international award for the best use of geothermal energy. Todd assisted in the sale of the Klamath Falls Cogeneration Plant. An Award Winning Power Plant “PPM Energy worked closely with the City of Klamath Falls to develop the Cogeneration Plant, one of the most energy-efficient advanced gas-fired power plants in the West. When commissioned in 2001, Klamath became the cleanest fossil-fueled power plant ever constructed in the US in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, Klamath uses up to 3 million gallons per day of treated municipal wastewater provided by the City to meet 100% of its cooling needs. The highly flexible 100 MW Klamath Peaking plant was added adjacent to the Cogeneration Plant to provide PPM's customers with additional capability to meet their peak summer and winter power needs. The Klamath plants remain a significant milestone in PPM's history because they essentially launched PPM as a company. PPM manages Klamath's fuel supply and markets the output of the plants to Western wholesale customers in California and the Northwest. PPM's affiliate, Pacific Klamath Energy Inc. (PKE), operates and maintains the plants.” PPM Energy BNet Reuters Todd has pushed for the beautification of Klamath Falls, with special attention to the downtown area. Street lights, planters, benches, geothermal sidewalks and crosswalks are some of the additions that have made Klamath Falls more appealing to tourists, potential businesses and local residents.
