River Ridge supervisor resigns; Board opens process to fill Seat 1
Summary
Supervisor James Gilman resigned from Seat 1 (term through Nov. 2026). The Board accepted the resignation and agreed to solicit resumes/letters from residents to appoint a replacement; the appointment process and required ethics training were outlined.
The River Ridge Community Development District Board accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman from Seat 1 during its Aug. 27, 2024 meeting.
Mrs. Adams presented Mr. Gilman’s resignation letter and the Board voted to accept it on a motion by Kurt Blumenthal, seconded by Robert Twombly. Because the vacancy is an appointment to fill an unexpired term (not an election), staff and Board members agreed to notify residents in The Meadows by e-blast about the vacancy, candidate qualifications and the application process; interested residents will be asked to submit a resume or letter of interest before the next meeting.
The Board discussed the administrative steps for a soon-to-be appointee: administration of the oath of office, required ethics training and disclosure filings (Form 1/2023, Form 8B memorandum for voting conflicts), and guidance on the Sunshine Amendment and Code of Ethics for Public Officers and Employees. The item was deferred for completion at a future meeting.
Board members emphasized the appointment is to fill the remainder of the seat through November 2026; staff will include candidate materials in the next meeting package.
