Jeff Rigney, who is San Bernardino’s director of its special districts department, has been appointed to the Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency.
Rigney was nominated to the post by Third District supervisor Neil Derry, in whose district Big Bear lies.
Rigney assumed the fourth seat on the wastewater agency board, which was occupied by former member Thomas Brandau, whose term expired on January 31, 2011 but had remained on the board until August 23, 2011. Rigney has been redesignated as the fifth seat on the board and his term will run for four years and expire on January 31, 2016.
Rigney is the son of the late Robert Rigney, who was San Bernardino County’s chief administrative officer from 1980 to 1986.
In appointing Jeff Rigney to the Big Bear Area Regional Wastewater Agency, the board of supervisors did not address any potential conflict his position on the board might present vis-à-vis his position as director of county special districts.
