An Op-Ed Piece from the Publisher of the Rancho Cordova Post

On Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 6:30 pm the Cordova Recreation and Park District will be holding their Board of Directors meeting in building #2 at 2197 Chase Drive in Rancho Cordova. Among other items on the agenda is the performance evaluation of the District Administrator.

David Edmonds has been the District Administrator since October of 2007 when the City of Rancho Cordova urged a management change at the Cordova Recreation and Park District. At that time the then current District Administrator Greg Foell was placed on administrative leave and never did return to the post. David Edmonds was appointed interim District Administrator and later lost the interim title and has served in that position since.

Prior to the action by the CRPD Board of Directors the Rancho Cordova City Council members made the following statement, “We have serious concerns about the management of the district,” a letter signed by all five of the city council members said. “We believe the weaknesses of concern to our city are affecting park facilities district wide. Without significant management changes and improvement, we are concerned all the district’s parks will continue to lag.”
