“All I can do is my best, and all I can do is get better,” District 7 representative Rebecca Eisenberg said at the meeting where colleagues voted to censure her.
LOS GATOS — Acrimony among directors at Santa Clara Valley Water District led to the recent censure of one board member over allegations of misconduct, including discriminatory harassment, abusive conduct and improper direction to staff.
In a 5-2 vote, the board approved five disciplinary actions against Eisenberg, according to a press release. The director will be removed from all roles and responsibilities representing the board and the water district, and she will not be allowed to meet with any employees who do not want to meet with her or request information directly from employees.
The board also requested that Eisenberg return a 2,000 page investigative report on her behavior to the clerk of the board. According to a memo by the board, Eisenberg was told that she couldn’t take the report, which contained personal identifying information on witnesses, out of the conference room she was reading it in, but took it to her car anyway.
The investigation also found that she created a hostile work environment for, or engaged in abusive conduct toward, Valley Water CEO Rick Callender.Fluoride in public water has slashed tooth decay, but some states may end mandates
