In the wake of the controversial vote of “no confidence” and subsequent departure of the popular Morongo Valley CSD Manager Meg Foley, more than a dozen angry citizens met Monday night to consider possible actions against the three members of the Morongo Valley CSD Board. Spokesman for the group Bear Zeller said they would prefer resignations from CSD Board Members Michael Francis, Glen Sheppard and Johnny Talbert, but the group is prepared to initiate the recall process. Community Services District Board President Chuck Osborne is not being targeted; Board Vice President, Richard Brewer, resigned his seat following last week’s action against Foley. Many residents are upset about Foley’s treatment; some speculate the actions against her were in retaliation for recent firings at the Morongo Valley Fire Department, which falls under supervision of the CSD manager. Hopes are high the public will hear details of Foley’s abrupt release at tonight’s CSD. That meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Covington Park multi-purpose room.
