High Timber Times Article on ICFPD Board of Directors Election - Vote today at Station Three

From the High Timber Times: Inter-Canyon Fire election set for May 6, 2014 Polls to be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; three board seats up for vote By Daniel Laverty Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 2:21 pm Polls for the election for three seats on the Inter-Canyon Fire District board will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 6 at Station 4, 8445 U.S. 285. “The best time to vote would be in the middle of the day,” said Dana Retterer, Inter-Canyon’s election official. “I imagine it would be busy at the beginning and end of the period, with everyone’s work schedules.” Retterer said unofficial results will be available May 6, but that final results won’t be official until eight days after the election. “We have to wait until we receive all the ballots from military personnel and from people out of town,” she said. Newcomer Kerry Prielipp joins incumbents Leslie Caimi, Mike Reddy and Karl Firor in vying for three four-year terms on the Inter-Canyon Board of Directors. Incumbent Joe Marcus was the only candidate to run for the two-year term and will remain on the board. Board member Ralph Dreher’s seat is up for election in 2016. Inter-Canyon has spent the last six months in turmoil after the theft of more than $647,000 from its reserve fund was revealed last October. Former fire chief David MacBean pleaded guilty to two counts of theft and one count of embezzlement April 7. MacBean is facing 27 years in jail, and his sentencing is scheduled for June. As part of his plea, he agreed to pay back the stolen funds. The next Inter-Canyon board meeting is at 7 p.m. May 14 at Station 1, 7939 S. Turkey Creek Road in Morrison.
