|
Wade Delahoussaye submitted his resignation in November 2012 terminating his service on the Acadia Soul & Water Conservation District effective December 31, 2012. Because of his rapidly deteriorating condition, Mr. Delahoussaye was not able to attend the November 2012 or December 2012 meetings. Dr. Hargroder submitted a letter on Mr. Delahoussaye's behalf stating that he has been severely ill and has had declining health over the last few months. Dr. Hargroder states that he is undergoing intensive evaluations and treatment. Due to this, Dr. Hargroder states that Mr. Delahoussaye is unable to process his financial disclosure forms.
