RANCHO CORDOVA, CA (MPG) - Current Cordova Recreation and Park District’s (CRPD) Board Member Terri Leimbach has earned another hat. Nominated in March by the Board of Directors for the Sacramento County Consolidated Redevelopment Agency Oversight Board (RDAOB), Leimbach was elected by County Independent Special Districts to be their representative on the oversight board.

The selection process for the Independent Special Districts’ representative opened in late April. Leimbach ran against two candidates. With her election, Leimbach joins the RDAOB at an interesting historical moment. At the beginning of July, over 400 oversight boards across the state will be consolidated into one oversight board per county.

In the last 15 years alone, Leimbach has brought her dedication to smart money management and her passion for civic engagement to many venues. Leimbach has served as a treasurer for a local church, worked as Superintendent of Administration for the Fulton-El Camino Recreation and Park District, served as an elected member of the Board of Directors for the California Association of Parks and Recreation Indemnity (CAPRI), volunteers as a tax preparer for AARP, serves as an elected member for the Cordova Recreation and Park District, and has been appointed to the District’s Budget and Finance Standing committee for several terms.  

Leimbach accepts this new responsibility with alacrity, stating, “I am thrilled to be elected to the RDAOB board. Special Districts around the State will now be represented as the process for the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agencies moves forward. All local agencies are entitled to a share of the tax dollars that are freed up by that process, and we, as special districts, need to be represented to make sure we get our fair share of those taxes.”

At Cordova Recreation and Park District, we champion Leimbach’s work and recognition.
