Community Service Districts

San Diego County's Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), established by state law, is a regulatory agency with countywide jurisdiction to encourage efficient provision of services such as water, sewer and fire protection. It is independent of county government. One of its responsibilities is formation of special districts and the promotion of logical and efficient public services for special districts. LAFCO consists of eight regular members: two from the Board of Supervisors, two city representatives, one City of San Diego representative, two special district representatives, and one public member who is appointed by other members of LAFCO.

Website: http://www.sdlafco.org/mainpages/aboutlaf.htm

LAFCO has a Special Districts Advisory Committee comprised of 16 members, each serving a four-year term. Members are appointed by their special districts through an election process administered by LAFCO staff. Community Service Districts provide specific services to the geographic areas within each district.
