From Muril Clift’s Official Candidate’s Statement:
Muril Clift Age 65 Occupation: Owner, Insurance Agency – Appointed Incumbent
Eleven year resident of Cambria. Lions Club Immediate Past President. 38 years in business specializing in insurance and financial protection.
Experience in Public Service includes elected positions as Trustee, Kern County High School District; Director, Santa Maria Airport District; Representative North Coast Advisory Council. Currently serving as Appointed Director of CCSD and 2nd District Supervisor’s Representative, Citizens Transportation Advisory Committee.
My campaign will be about solving three issues confronting Cambria.
First is the restoration of trust in the CCSD. Recent water rate protests have had an underlying theme of mistrust of the Board’s actions. I will work for more financial detail being available to the public and greater public involvement in decisions.
Second, continue policies supporting the essential character of our village. I support the current policies of not expanding the boundaries of the district, limiting annual growth to 1% and limiting the ultimate growth to 4650 homes.
Third, I support the efforts to secure the most reliable new water source possible – desalination. Desalination means we control our source of water without fear of drought, pollution or reduction in supplies from other agencies.
Vote Muril Clift for an open government committed to preserving our piece of paradise.
The above will appear in your sample ballot booklet. Because it was limited to 200 words it provides a summarized description of my qualifications and my positions on the issues I believe are most important to CAMBRIANS. For expanded explanations of these issues see the White Papers listed below:
1. Trust
2. Controlling Growth
3. Additional Water Sources

How about expanded cell phone service that reaches the coastal neighborhoods.
I too would love to see expanded cell phone coverage, but the CCSD does not have a lot of input into the cell phone problem other than providing a site, such as the Vet’s Hall. The cell phone companies have to apply through the county planning for approval. So far they have had no luck at consolidating their efforts and getting the permits from the county.
