Letters of interest to fill a vacancy on the board of directors for Round Mountain Water and Sanitation District are still being accepted.

To date Jerry Lacy and Bob Gilchrist, both of Westcliffe, have submitted letters of interest.

The RMW board had originally planned to fill the vacancy during the regular meeting slated for tonight, Thursday, Jan. 8. However, they decided to hold off making an appointment until February because they expect tonight’s meeting to be lengthy.

Also, noted RMW board president Chris Haga, the board has 60 days to make an appointment so there is no need to rush the matter.

A vacancy on the RMW board was created in December when director Paul Rose resigned.

In addition to Haga, rounding out the RMW board are Darrell Niles, John Potts and John Johnston.

Call the RMW office at 783-2604 for more information about submitting a letter of interest.

The RMW board also continues to search for a manager and operator in responsible charge.

Previous manager and ORC Josh Cichocki was fired in December after serving in that capacity for one year.
