This happened in 1996 at the first meeting of the newly elected Board. It was a standing room only audience at the Vets hall. It was pretty well known around town what was about to happen. Very contentious meeting. There was no reason given but it was well known that he was the “engineer” who took us through the long and expensive design and permitting of the proposed Desalination plant. I don’t think there was a golden parachute for him, he was just fired, period. He was the kindest, most respected and intelligent Manager this town has ever had. The next major action the new Board took was to kill the desal plan, period. And the no growthers won another round. And we still don’t have a drop more water than we had when I moved here 30 years ago. BUT we do have a building moratorium which I am sure makes for a lot of happy no growthers.

Do you remember that none of those new board members had actually stated in their campaigning that they were against desalination for Cambria?
