The chairman of the board of the Evermore Community Improvement District is asking the Gwinnett County Commission to call for recall elections against two board members, and those two are themselves seeking recall elections for two other members.[1]
The dueling recall efforts are the latest in a feud among Evermore Community Improvement District board members that escalated after executive director Brett Harrell suddenly fired economic development manager David Stedman in December.[1]
The firing prompted Dwight Harrison and Kenny King to push recall elections against Dean Robinson and Ken Shiver, two of the four board members allied with Harrell. Harrison and King are two of four members on the eight-member board who are concerned the CID has not spent enough time on economic development matters, and they largely blame Harrell.[1]
Now, board Chairman Gary Custar, one of Harrell’s supporters, wants the County Commission to exercise its prerogative under county law and call for a recall election naming Harrison and King.[1]
Recall results
According to Gwinnett County's Van Stephens, both Ken Shiver and Dean Robinson have been recalled; by a count of 73 to 17 for Shiver, and Robinson by a count of 69 to 18.[2]
Board Chairman Gary Custer says the results of the recall will not be recognized by the board. "Recall elections are not to be taken lightly," Custar said. "All requirements must be met. It's our opinion that this threshold has not been met in numerous ways."[2]
Dwight Harrison, who led the recall effort along with other members of the board, said the matter will go to the Gwinnett County Superior Court.[2]
