After about an hour in closed session discussion, the five directors of the Cambria CSD Board came back into the room full of Cambrians waiting in tense quietness. President Muril Clift asked CCSD District Tim Carmel to report the action from closed session.
On the first item (A. Public Employee Discipline/Dismissal/Release pursuant to Government Code Section 54957) Director Jim Bahringer moved and Director Michael Thompson seconded that “District GM Tammy Rudock be terminated immediately. ” The motion passed unanimously.
On the second item (B. Public Employee Appointment pursuant to Government Code Section 54957 Title: Interim General Manager) Director Allan MacKinnon moved and Director Frank DeMicco seconded that Jerry Gruber (current utilities manager) be appointed interim general manager, effective immediately. The motion passed unanimously.
The response in the smaller of the two Vet’s Hall rooms was an audible sigh of relief and universal applause. Muril called the meeting adjourned and a new era for Cambria politics begins. As Gruber shook hands with Mark Miller, the future of Cambria’s most recent fire chief seems likelier to have a happy ending here in paradise.
Pay it forward.

Perhaps the CCSD should be investagated for linking water hook-ups with a privite company such as Waste Management. When we put our house on the market to sell we notified Waste Management that the house would be empty and trash pick-up service was no longer needed.
We were billed for the entire time taken for the house to be sold. We were told by Waste Management that EVERY house paid for trash removal as long a water meter hook-up was in place regardless that there was no trash. We left the water on for agents and possible buyers – there was no trash.
The SLO DA’s office told us that this “set-up” was illigal. We are going to ask the DA to look into the mater and take what ever action they think is necessary. As stated before, perhaps the board should investagate itself before the DA files charges.
