The newly hired town manager in Silverthorne, Greg Camp, is leaving behind a civil lawsuit at his former job in Missouri.
A Missouri newspaper, the Jefferson County Leader, reports a resident is suing the city of Festus, where Camp served as town administrator since 2017.
The resident, Jesse Cordova, claims Camp and other city officials met illegally while reviewing construction of a new data center.
Cordova is running for Festus City Council in the upcoming April election, according to the Leader. He believes city officials violated the Missouri Sunshine Law, which guarantees public access to municipal meetings and records. He tells the Leader he wants “accountability” and plans to represent himself in the case.
Town of Silverthorne responds, telling Krystal 93: “The town council, the town’s legal team and a recruiting firm checked into the background and professional experience of all the final candidates, including Greg Camp.”
The town did not comment on the Festus lawsuit specifically. Camp declined to comment in the Leader.
Camp was one of three finalists in Silverthorne, along with Sarah Vaine, a onetime assistant county manager in Summit, and Ted Cherry, the sitting town manager in Granby.
Camp’s first day on the job is March 9.
