Countywide : Fillmore Official Selected for Post
Directors for the Ventura Regional Sanitation District have selected Fillmore Councilman Don Gunderson to serve as the public waste agency’s new chairman, the agency has announced.
He succeeds Camarillo Mayor Charlotte Craven in the one-year position.
The district, whose members represent eight of Ventura County’s 10 cities and several special districts, operates two landfills--Bailard in Oxnard and Toland near Santa Paula--and resource recovery and waste water treatment facilities.
After his election, Gunderson named as the district’s top priorities the continued operation of the Bailard Landfill beyond the scheduled closure in December, support for a regional transfer facility and finding a new landfill to serve western Ventura County.
Gunderson, an engineer, is serving his first four-year term on the Fillmore City Council after being elected in November, 1990.
