Discovery Bay CSD Director Shannon Murphy-Teixeira resigned from the community services board on Friday.

“I am unable to provide the level of commitment required to serve this community as director of the CSD," she wrote in a Sept. 18 letter to the district. “I feel I will better serve my community by participating in the issues but not serving on the board.” The resignation was effective immediately, the letter said.

CSD President Ray Tetreault said the board was grateful for her service to the town.

“She’s (Murphy-Teixeira) served the community well and we wish her nothing but the best,” he said.

The CSD Board has 90 days to appoint a replacement director to serve out the remainder of Murphy-Teixeira’s term, which expires in December, 2010.

Murphy-Teixeira has been on the CSD board since 2004, and served as the board’s first female president in 2008.

What are you people talking about? What does Shannon's retirement have to do with P6 funds? Sometimes it's like the blind leading the stupid around here!

Duanne Steele is at it again! He has cost the Lakeshore Homeowners Association thouands of dollars in re-call elections, and he was removed from the board of directors.

Now he wants to be on the P-6 commitee? Don't think so as he cannot get people to support him. Seems that he has all the answers and is a want-to-be with no support with a bad reputation.

Enough said, Mary Piepho, do not consider his appointment!

Thanks to Shannon for her service! It's a tough and largely thankless job because interested citizens are much more likely to share concerns than compliments.

I find that politicians are often driven by ego and thirst for power, but Shannon's service was defined by a desire to improve the community, treat the public with respect, and mix in a bit of good natured humor.

Over the past couple of years I brought several questions and concerns to Shannon and she always did her best to treat them (and me) respectfully. I hope Shannon does stay involved in community issues because she will add to the debate and do so in an honest and respectful manner.

Thanks Shannon for your service. You will be missed!
