1. Closed Session pursuant to Government Code Section 54957 – Public Employee Appointment
  
  General Manager
Appointment of Board Chair
Wanda Carpenter was elected to serve as Chair of the Board of Directors and Susan Doran was elected to serve as Vice Chair.
During the public comment period, a community member expressed concern regarding the process by which the former General Manager's employment was terminated. They stated that the Board had previously voted in April 2025 to extend the General Manager’s contract by six months, and alleged that some members later took actions inconsistent with that decision. The speaker characterized the process as lacking transparency and fairness and cited the Brown Act, emphasizing the importance of conducting public business in open sessions. They further urged Board members to arrive at meetings fully prepared—having reviewed the agenda, sought clarification from staff when needed, and formed informed opinions in advance. They criticized repeated claims by some Board members of being unaware of agenda content, suggesting such statements indicate a lack of diligence and place undue blame on staff.
A former District employee also addressed the Board, stating that Board members had been repeatedly reminded over several years to complete required training related to special district governance and the Brown Act. They questioned the legality of recent actions taken by the Board and asked whether the California Special Districts Association (CSDA) had been consulted for guidance. Director Susan Doran responded that all three current Board members are presently engaged in completing the required training. The former employee reiterated their concerns and again asked whether CSDA had been formally contacted for an advisory opinion.
Another speaker expressed concern about what they described as misconduct among Board members. They stated that certain members were being subjected to undue pressure or unfair treatment by others. They also noted that community members had sent inappropriate or threatening messages to Board members, making it more difficult for them to carry out their responsibilities effectively.
Additional concerns raised by members of the public included perceived ethical conflicts, such as:
- A Board member allegedly assisting in the creation of a job description and later applying for the same position;
- The employment of a current Board member’s relative within the District;
- The reappointment of a former Board member who had previously resigned, with questions raised about whether any prior arrangements had been made outside of public view.
Director Susan Doran explained that she left because of a health issue and was asked to return after the seat stayed empty for a few months.
Director Andy Meyers confirmed that her reappointment was approved by a unanimous board vote.
Chair Wanda Carpenter addressed the concern regarding her family member’s employment with the district. She stated that she does not supervise the employee and would recuse herself from any board discussion or vote that could pose a conflict of interest.

Lastly, a community member inquired whether public comments at special meetings are required to be limited strictly to items listed on the agenda.
Director Andy Meyers motioned to approve. Director Susan Doran seconded the motion.

Approval of May 28, 2025 Minutes
After the vote was finalized, a member of the public raised a concern regarding a portion of the minutes involving another member of the public's presentation at the May 28, 2025 meeting. The commenter stated that the minutes did not reflect a statement made by the district’s legal counsel during the meeting, in which the attorney reportedly denied involvement in a matter related to a grand jury report. The commenter also mentioned that an apology letter had been referenced, but this was not included in the draft minutes.
Board members acknowledged the comment and explained that draft minutes are prepared as a summary, not a transcript, and may not capture every exchange. The purpose of board review is to ensure accuracy and to make amendments if necessary before motioning and approving.
Director Andy Meyers motioned to approve. Director Susan Doran seconded the motion.

2025-004 IVRPD Project Manager Appointment Park Resolution
The Board of Directors considered and approved Resolution 2025-004, which formally designates the Indian Valley Recreation and Parks District (IVRPD) as the project manager for the Greenville Park Renovation Project. This resolution documents and affirms the board’s prior approval of the arrangement at its May 28, 2025, meeting.
IVRPD Board Member clarified that although the project is being supported by multiple funding sources—including IVRPD, Little League, grant funds, and contributions from the Indian Valley Community Services District—all donations, grants, and invoices related to the project will be managed by the CSD. All funds will be processed and tracked through the CSD until they are fully spent.
Director Andy Meyers motioned to approve. Director Wanda Carpenter seconded the motion.

The motion passed with the following vote:

Authority for IVRPD to Oversee Wolf Creek Project
This agenda item resumed consideration of the Wolf Creek Project, including whether to delegate project management to IVRPD. Before any decision could be made, a member of the public commented that the Board first needs to decide if the district even wants to take on the Wolf Creek Project before assigning it to IVRPD. It was emphasized that this is a significant decision because it would involve the creation of a new park, which would become a responsibility of the CSD.
Board members agreed that before IVRPD could be tasked with grant writing or management of the project, the CSD Board must first vote on whether it wants to move forward with the project at all. There is currently a grant opportunity with a deadline of August 25, but no action can be taken until the board makes an initial decision.
A motion was made and approved to table the item until the CSD Board formally decides whether to pursue the Wolf Creek Project.
Director Susan Doran motioned to approve. Director Andy Meyers seconded the motion.

The motion passed with the following vote:
3 In Favor 0 Opposed
0 Abstained 0 Absent 0 Recused
2025-002 PSC Reimbursement Resolution
Board motioned and approved to table this item for a future meeting.
Director Susan Doran motioned to approve. Director Andy Meyers seconded the motion.

BID Process Discussion
The Board discussed the status and delays of the Public Safety Center project. Former Fire Chief provided background, stating that after the Dixie Fire, plans for the new center were nearly finalized in 2022, but repeated redesigns—initially to add, and later to remove, CSD office space—caused significant delays. He expressed concern that these delays, along with multiple bid postponements, have pushed the project deeper into construction season and negatively impacted public safety, especially given the lack of a local sheriff presence. Jennifer noted that some delays were due to the County's special use permit not being approved until late 2024, and Dave clarified that the County’s $1.5 million funding contribution was also only finalized earlier this year. The importance of completing the Public Safety Center was acknowledged by all, and the Board thanked the public for their continued engagement.
The Board reviewed the remaining steps in the Public Safety Center project and discussed responsibilities outlined in the project checklist. It was noted that the next steps (9-12) fall under Project Manager responsibilities, and the Board must designate a project manager to move forward. Staff clarified that this item was placed on the agenda for reference only, and no action was required at this time. The Board agreed to table the discussion and confirmed that project management designation and related actions would be addressed at a special meeting scheduled for the following Wednesday.
Discussion of Status of Utility Manager Trailer
Utility Manager to use temporarily. The board will discuss approving as surplus once it's no longer in use.
Adjournment
Wanda Carpenter motions, Andy Meyers seconds. All approve. Meeting adjourned.
