A Community Services District (CSD) is a governing body that can
be formed by residents of an unincorporated area to ensure that
basic service needs are met. Some Community Services Districts
provide water, sewer, police and fire services, garbage
collection, recreation, landscaping, street lighting, mosquito
abatement, graffiti abatement, library services and more. All
services not handled by the CSD are managed by the County.
There are approximately 2,300 independent special districts
in California, meaning they are governed by an independent
board of directors elected by the districts’ voters or appointed
to a fixed term of office by either the city council or board of
supervisors. Dependent districts are governed by other existing
legislative bodies like a city council or board of supervisors.
Larger independent districts have a professional manager, similar
to a city manager or county administrator, to assist the
governing officials. The governing boards adopt policies that the
general managers carry out. Nearly 85% of California’s special
districts perform a single function such as sewage, water, fire
protection, pest abatement or cemetery management. Multi-function
districts, like community services districts, provide two or more
services.
Special districts are primarily accountable to the voters who
elect their boards of directors and the customers who use their
services. However, although they are not functions of the state,
the state also provides critical oversight to special district
operations. Special districts must submit annual financial
reports to the State Controller and must also follow state laws
pertaining to public meetings, bonded debt, record keeping and
elections.
In the Town of Discovery Bay, our CSD oversees water, sewer,
landscaping and recreation. In addition, the CSD Board can advise
the County on other services and issues impacting the community.
By forming a CSD, Discovery Bay residents ensured that the
essential services of Discovery Bay would be managed locally and
independently of the County, enabling our community to have a
stronger voice in the type and level of service the Town
receives.
