CFPD Accepts Board member resignation

After 18 years of service to the Copperopolis Fire Protection District Director Barbara Cheney has resigned citing that it is "time to take care of myself and do some other things He (God) has in mind for me. He is not through with me yet."

Cheney submitted her resignation papers on September 27, 2012. Her resignation was accepted at the October 19, 2012 CFPD board meeting and will become effective November 30, 2012.

Cheney's resignation creates a vacany on the board of directors which will require an appointment by the board to fill. If the CFPD board is not able to appoint within a certain time frame, the Board of Supervisors has jurisdiction to make an appointment.

Chief Kovacs stated that the district will make public the vacant position after contacting county counsel for guidance.
