    San Miguel Community Service District board fires manager 

    San Miguel Community Service District

    Board President Richard Harrison.

    Board President Richard Harrison objected to the move.

    The San Miguel Community Services District Board voted recently to fire its district manager, Dan Gilmore, Cal Coast News reports.

    On Aug. 28 at 6 p.m., four board members, with Connie Jarvis absent, met for a six-month evaluation of Gilmore. Without taking any action, the special meeting concluded so that the regular board meeting could begin. After the regular meeting ended, board members Gib Buckman, John Green and Anthony Kalvans agreed to reopen the special meeting, the report says.

    District Board President Richard Harrison objected to reconvening the special meeting because it was not on the agenda and he questioned its legality, the report says.

    In spite of Harrison’s objection, the three board members voted to fire Gilmore without cause, the report says. Gilmore will receive a severance equal to three months’ pay and benefits. His salary was $72,000 a year.

    Harrison told Cal Coast News the primary reason for the termination was personality conflicts between Gilmore and several board members.

    The San Miguel Community Services District was created in February of 2000 by the San Luis Obispo Board of Supervisors and includes the San Miguel Fire Protection District, San Miguel Lighting District, and the San Luis Obispo County Waterworks District #1. In April 2001, the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors dissolved the San Miguel Sanitary District (Sewer and Solid Waste) and incorporated those services into the CSD.

    This sounds like San Miguel,is out of control.

    Richard L. K. Harrison

    A couple of Board members are out of control (pushing their selfish ideals) at other Board Members with non-agendized & threatening conversations outside Board Meetings. Someday the Public will see abuse and the violations going on in their Community. Check out their meetings and ask questions; i.e.: Why Directors (Board Members) get special treatment (water bills & meters) at taxpayers expense? It's Just Wrong! ! ! Thank You.
