DAN MUNSEY TO RESIGN FROM HI-DESERT WATER DISTRICT

Longtime Hi-Desert Water District Board member Dan Munsey will resign his seat effective February 29, 2020, due to the demands of his career as Fire Chief for the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.

“The experience and relationships I have formed while on the Board will last a lifetime, but due to my career, I am no longer able to dedicate the time both the district and constituents deserve,” said Munsey, who was appointed Fire Chief in November.

“It’s been a pleasure to serve with this Board for the last decade, to watch the District employees grow and serve in amazing ways, and an honor to have been elected and re-elected by the members our community.”

Munsey was first appointed to the Board in 2009, followed by being elected. During his tenure, the District secured more than $26 million in state and federal grant funding for the area’s first municipal sewer system. He was President of the Board in 2019 when HDWD cut the ribbon at the newly constructed wastewater treatment plant and began operating the sewer system.

“Dan has been a guiding light for Hi-Desert Water District for more than a decade and his contributions to the region have been significant,” Board President Roger Mayes said. “I speak for the entire Board when I say we will miss his wisdom, leadership and sense of humor that was so important in helping us reach consensus on a number of issues.”

The remaining Board members will vote to either appoint a new director or call an election to fill the vacancy within 60 days after Munsey’s last day.
