Did we ever determine if they did indeed fire the new CEO?

It's a secret!

Given that he hasn't even been on the roll call the last couple meetings, I would think yes. No official word from KCBS though, at least that I've seen.
If there is a change in progress, that may involve negotiation of some sort, they really can't say anything.
If someone calls me to check employment history for someone that used to work for me there are times when all I can do is verify that they worked for me. Doing anything else would open the door to litigation.
I don't have any direct personal knowledge about what's going on. Wait for the minutes. If there is something going on, and there is no confidentiality clause in a potential settlement agreement you may get your answer(s).

Yep. The silence, along with the breadcrumbs from minutes lead me to believe that he is out. Probably has been for a bit. I would assume we won't know any more until a change is official, and even then all we'll know is that they "mutually agreed to part ways" and KCBS "wishes him well in his future endeavors"

Well if he is separated from employment I hope KCBS got the new I-phone they gave him to be used for "KCBS business" only.

Drat, the conversation about Vista is going to be in closed session. Guess I won't be dialing in ...

The last CEO was touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread. What happened to him?
All this hoopla and secrecy make me very nervous. It's like a parent looking at a kid saying "what have you done"

The secrecy doesn't bother me too much. Employment decisions always require a certain amount of confidentiality.
Could they have announce Heath leaving before they had a replacement? Of course. They also could have been in buyout negotiations that kept them from doing so, however.
The hoopla makes me wonder who it is. My guess is it's someone they think is going to be a big deal when they announce it. As long as it's someone that goes out and gets things done, I'll be happy. Hopefully someone who has had a hand in promoting BBQ and Comp BBQ in the past.

No matter what happened, or how it happened it's now a done deal.
Hopefully the new CEO is ready to wade in. I'm tempted to take up a collection for dinner at J Gilbert's if they can get that building sold before Christmas!

Maybe in 6 months they can get the Cooking Channel to host a reality show for the new CEO...
This cluster has reassured me in my decision to not renew my membership.

Anybody have a clue/guess/insider info as to who the new CEO will be?
