McCloud, CA – The McCloud Community Services District (MCSD) has reached a settlement in the ongoing lawsuit filed by board member Michael Rorke, bringing an end to a contentious legal battle that has strained the district’s finances for over a year.
The lawsuit, which centered on a Public Records Request, has cost the district a total of $53,051.77 in legal fees since July 2023, according to financial records obtained by this newspaper. These expenses covered a range of legal services, including demurrer preparations, court hearings, and extensive document drafting.
The financial burden of the lawsuit has been a point of concern for the McCloud community. The legal fees, paid from the district’s general fund, threatened to impact essential services such as the local fire department and library. In response to the mounting costs, the MCSD had previously considered raising monthly fees for residents by $15 per household.
