Resignations rock Clancy water/sewer board

Amid a months-long stand-off over a location for a test well, two of the three existing Clancy Water and Sewer District Board members have resigned — leaving the board originally designed for five members with only one.

Jefferson County officials have attempted to assist with defining the process for filling those vacancies going forward, but the sole remaining board member, President David Leitheiser, has requested that they “cease and desist,” calling the action “unlawful.”

Lori Gilliland, the CWSD Board secretary and treasurer, tendered her resignation on Nov. 24, writing that after five years of service to her community she believes it is time to move on from the board.
