River Ridge CDD accepts resignation, seeks candidates to fill Seat 1
Summary
The River Ridge board accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman (Seat 1) and agreed to notify residents and collect resumes or letters of interest for an appointment to fill the unexpired term.
The River Ridge Community Development District board accepted the resignation of Supervisor James Gilman from Seat 1 (term through November 2026) during its Aug. 27 meeting.
Cleo Adams presented Mr. Gilman’s resignation letter. After discussion, Kurt Blumenthal moved and Robert Twombly seconded a motion to accept the resignation; the board approved the motion unanimously. The board noted Mr. Gilman had represented The Meadows and agreed to pursue an appointment to fill the unexpired term rather than hold a special election.
The board directed that Mr. Long and The Meadows’ property-owner association manager send an e-blast to residents announcing the vacancy, detailing candidate qualifications and requesting resumes or letters of interest in advance of the next meeting. Administrative items associated with appointment — including administration of the oath of office, required ethics training, Form 1 instructions, and guidance on the Sunshine Amendment and the Code of Ethics for Public Officers — were listed to be provided in a separate packet and were deferred for follow-up.
District staff will compile candidate materials and present them at the next meeting for the board’s consideration.
