If the vote stands, the water district will have to pay out about $200,000 to cover the rest of General Manager Alex Rojas’ contract.
The general manager of the embattled Central Basin Municipal Water District has been fired by the agency’s board even though protections in his contract and the district’s administrative code make a legal challenge all but guaranteed.
Chacon, in an email after the vote, reiterated the requirements to terminate a general manager. He declined to say whether he would personally challenge the votes.The board members who voted to terminate Rojas did so “without cause,” meaning the district will have to pay out about $200,000 to cover the remainder of his contract if the vote is allowed to stand.
Camacho-Rodriguez said the board’s actions should make it clear that the directors will not tolerate “anything that might look improper” in reference to a series of allegations against Rojas. The board members in favor alleged Chacon had effectively taken the district “hostage” by overusing a clause in the administrative code that gives the president final authority over any meeting agenda. The district is years behind on its annual financial audits and has lost its credit rating as a result, yet it has made no progress on hiring a new auditor in the past four months due to the board stalemate.
