River Ridge CDD accepts resignation of Supervisor James Gilman; board to solicit applicants
Summary
The board accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman (Seat 1, term to Nov. 2026) and directed staff to publicize the vacancy and solicit resumes/letters of interest for an appointment to fill the unexpired term.
At the Aug. 27, 2024 meeting, Mrs. Adams presented a resignation letter from Supervisor James Gilman, who represented The Meadows and held Seat 1 (term expiring Nov. 2026). Board members discussed outreach steps because the replacement will be an appointment rather than an election. The board asked that Mr. Long and The Meadows’ POA manager send an e-blast to residents explaining qualification requirements and requesting candidates submit resumes or letters of interest prior to the next meeting.
On motion by Supervisor Kurt Blumenthal, seconded by Supervisor Robert Twombly, the board unanimously accepted Mr. Gilman’s resignation and deferred administration of the oath and related onboarding materials until an appointment is made.
Why it matters: the resignation creates an immediate vacancy in a seat representing a neighborhood; the board will appoint a replacement to serve until November 2026. Staff will notify residents and accept candidate materials ahead of the next meeting.
