Join us for our next CALAFCO University session - Forming a Community Services District: Not Your Ordinary Formation
This session is offered at no cost to all CALAFCO Members and designed solely for CALAFCO Members. 

A Community Services District (CSD) is a type of special district formed through Government Code 61000 et seq. to provide multiple services to a community. Given their broad scope, forming a CSD involves much more than procedures and paperwork. There are so many things to consider when forming a CSD it can get overwhelming and complicated. This session will navigate the formation process while helping you avoid some of the pesky and unnecessary pitfalls. Join us in this how-to session and learn from your colleagues all you ever wanted to know about forming a CSD.
