An effort to recall Jack Shelver from his position as chairman of the Julian-Cuyamaca Fire Protection District board in California was launched in November 2017 over his vote to dissolve the district and join the San Diego County Fire Authority. The other four members of the board voted to remain independent.[1] This recall did not go to a vote.
Recall supporters
The notice of intent to circulate a recall petition alleged that Shelver "has pursued a goal of dissolving the district, against the wishes of the majority of the community." It also claimed that Shelver violated the Brown Act "by failing to give adequate notice to the community with regard to his intention to negotiate disposal of the real and personal property of JCFPD to San Diego County Fire Authority" and that he held meetings with the San Diego County Fire Authority without the presence of two board members who should have been there.[2]

Shelver's response
Shelver wrote the following in an email to East County Magazine:
| “ | Pat Landis and the Volunteer firefighters don’t agree with my position with regard to the highest level of future fire and emergency medical service to the community so they have chosen to personally attack me and my character. Some of their statements are opinions and not factual and others are simply not true. For me to respond to the charges would merely put me in the gutter with them. They are willing to pay for a recall election to get me out of office four months before my term is up.[3] | ” |
